The more unserupulous of the Opposition press
and po.-hvuse politicians are devoting the last days
of the canvass to the circulation of the most ina
nous falseboods and ISLANDERS.
The following false charge which we clip from the
Shelbyville Erpositor has been fully exposed
When Col NErHERLAND originates and repeats in the
face Of The public records such unfouDded calumnes
his party organs may be expected to follow his ex-
ample.
cat Huntingdon, Netherlaud produced Harris
Congressional II cord and showed him up as VOT-
ING AGAINST THE PROPOSITION TO IN
CREASE The PAY OF OUR SOLDIERS IN THE
MEXICAN WAR. Our GOVERNOR VOTED PIDE by
SIDE WITH JOSHUA R. GIDDINGs, AND OTHER ANTI
WAR ABoLITIoNIsTs. TIE GOVERNOR REFUS-
ED TO ALLOW OUR SOLDIERS In THAT WAR,
AS MUCH MONEY PER MONTH, AS HE WAS
RECEIVING PER DAY WHILE IN CONGRESS
Tuis vote is a much worse than Netherland ever
gave in his life. No man could give more iniqui-
t0us vote"
Now there is rot one WORD of truth in this state
raert from beginning 10 end. lis utter f4lsehOod
has been shown by an appeal to the journals of Con-
gress. And yet the man who has been put forward
by the Opposition as their candidate for Governor
of the great State Of Tennessee, is quoted by his
owr organs as authority for this statement. What
may we not expect from the rest Of the Opposition,
when the very head and front Of The party is guilty
of such conduct as this.
We warn our friends against the thousand rumora
now in circulation, and to be put in circulation by
the Opposition betEeen this time and the election.
They may learn from the above specimen, what
credit should be attached TO su,h rumors.

Democrats !

Ga this subject of Baaks ana Currency, about
which the Opposition are trying to alarm you, you
have the experience of the past as a guide and a
warning for the future. Your own party, when in
power, has gwen you a stable currency, while the
Opposition has as uniformly legisaed for the bene
ft Of SPECTATORS, aud By exaotiDg security and
no responsibility from the banks, has periodically
plunged the in Industrious laboring classes in the
greatest distress. No prophecies of evil which are
now made equsl those which we're predicted as sure
to follow the establishment of an Independent Trea-
sury ana refusal to recharter the National Bank.
Democrats who remember these predictions surely
will net credit those which made Of evil if
the banks are not permitted do what they please.
What the Democrats of Tennessee propose to do in
the future is to carry out their policy of the ast not
to destroy our banking system, but to render it per-
fecty secure. The Opposition oppose this, because
the fluctuations whsh Cypress the put profits in
the pockets of spectators and shaVers.
Choose between these systems, people of Tennes-
see! Between system which shall make the Issues
of banks secure beyond the possibility of loss aid
he system which, leaving to the banks the right 10
suspend at pleasure, and holding out inducements 10
frauds and bankruptcies shall place every industrial
interest in he Stats at the mercy and caprice
of few bank directors responsible 10 no power and
above ali law.
When has Democratic Policy in regard to banks
failed to benefit the people? When has the OppOsi-
ton policy failed to iDjure Cypress them? What
has been in tie Past will continue to be in the Flu
ture.

We have just been placed il possession Of secret
circular, issued by the Opposition State Central
Commits with special jnjunelions not to let
any of the ,mocra'lo lea iers get knO Eledge of it,
in which most extravsgaat hopes Of carrying the
State for the Opposition held out In this cir
cular it is claimed that NErHERLAND will gain 5000
votes In East Tennessee from ,00G to GOO in Mid
die Tennessee, ard, rs his election is claimed, the
Opposition leaders, in effect, say be will gain 1000
in West Tennessee. The same Circular claims all
the members of Congress but two, and decided
m Ijority in the Legislature
In it's secresy and in its boas 8, this circular is
child of the Known othinGjsn of 1865 Upon what
ground these extravagant claims of gains are made
we do not know Every indication which has
reached us, from the discussions between the can
didates of the two parties, conviuces US that he
principles Of the Democratic party are stronger now
than they have been before in tEenty years. and
that the emily hope of the Opposition is IN the secu-
rity of the Democracy. Remembering how, through
their secret machinery, they cane near defeating
Judge WRIGHT, they use it on more extensive
scale in this election, and Dy secret circulars to
the heads of the Kuow-NOthiDg lodges, TO be care
fully guarded from Democratic eyes, they hope to
secure full Know N Othing vote, while the Demo-
cratic vote shall be unpolled. This is the only
hope of the Know Nothing leaders And We ap-
peal to Democrats, in this last week before the
election, to arouse such feeling shall most eff
factually circumvsnt this trick of secret foe.
Let every civil District in every County be can
yassed We will never have more at stake in eau
vass than We have in this The fruits of past great
victories the hopes of the future hang on the success
Of the Democratic party in the election next week.
Every man who is Democrat owes it to his country
and to himself to spend this last week in resO-
luts effort to save that country from Black Re-
nublioau fusion, and himself from the disgrace Of
losing a victory by sleeping his arms while
,to.tbv and uuscrupuOus foe is mining the fortress
which it is his duty as brave aAd true man 70
protect with his life.

eat debts bshiud an exemption Law would refuse to
pay sor his molher's shroud; aud yet they ask the
men thus injured and iuslilted to support JOHN

They put forward as the exponent Of their faith,
man who voted to exempt the property OF the
wealthy Banker from execution aud sale for his
bank debts, and who would rot prot CT the poor
man in the possession of the ne,essaries Of life.

of the peace hastily concluded between France

the pac;fcalon is likely to be satisfactory to the
parties most nearly concerned, whether even it
can be considered final settlement of Italian af-
fairs.
The following points are entirely unascertaina-

1st. Whether, in retaining Venice, Austria re-
tains merely the city or what had been generally
called the Venetian States which includes the whole
of Northern Ialy east of the Mjncio, embracing,
therefore, the for titled quadrangle.
