The Canvass.

SOMMERvlLLE, May 23d, 1859.
MEssRs EDITORS: The candidates for Governor
addressed the people of Fsyete county here to-day
according to appointment. As our Planters are
very much behind with their crops it was supposed
that but a slim crowd would be in attendance, but
contrary to all expectation the coneourse was enc Of
the largest ever assembled in this place. which can
only be construed as an evidence of TIE interest
citizens feel in the questions discussed by the rival
candidates for their suffrages.
1t is not my intention to give even a summary of
tie points in the discussion to-day. The speeches
in the main very similar to the OnesrepOrted in
your paper at Nashville. Col. NETHBRLAND opened
the debate and said his speech in relation to the
travsgance of the government telling US Of the big
looking glass, fine wash stand, and Of the towels
with fringe on both ends Nor did he forget to tell
US about TIE man he sold the saddle to and hadn't
paid him. The Col. stated with an sir of triumph
and satisfaction that he authorized to state on
every stump in Tennessee, that Jimmy Jones would
vote fer him in the coming election. As this was
the only point in bis speech, il is communica-
ted to your paper an item Of news.
Gov. HARRIS disposed of the ertraVggaat portion
Of Col. NETHRRLAND speech, which related to the
manner by proving that every e1trAvagaut appro-
priatiOn Of money had been voted for invariably BIZ
an overwhelming majority Of the Opposition party,
and hal as invariably been voted against by an
overwhelming majority OF the democratic members
of Congress.
Gov Harris now took up the slavery question and
discussed it in amost mastery manner. He proved
most conclusvey that the leaders Of the Opposition,
North and South, were endeavoriDg to effect eOai
sion Of ell the elements opposed to the Democratic.
party, the policy of which allisnee would be Az
gressve to the South and destructive to it, nterests
and rights guaranteed now by demonstration. Gov
Harris arguments and testimony on this point were
convincing and it is idle for co.. Netherland in the
face Of such testimony, to tell the citizens Of this
county that the slavery question is dead issue and
cannot affect them any than it does the inhabi-
suts of the most remote parts of the world Fsyette
county has larger number Of slaves than any coun-
ty in the Union, and the facts sdducei by Gov |
Harris are too weghty to be turned aside by mere |
denial or smothered by clOwnish joke.
After the discussion Gov Harris, before quitting
the stand said he understood it had been circulated
on the ground to-day, that tbsre was Question Of
veraclty between himself aud Col Netberl.nd in
relation to circumstances that had occurred in tbs
debate in Memphis There had been no issno ~
act, but mere issue as - memory Col. Nst5er-
ard had stated in his speech in Memphis. that ba

Banks charter authorize them 10 receive as interest
for money loaned on notes having sixty days to
run, six PSF cent on those having more than ninety
days to run, seven PER cent; and on those having
more than six months to run eight per cent per gu
mum; and for all notes payable beyond the limits of
the State, SO reasonable premium for exchange in
addition to the interest" On bills having sixty
days to run, they were charging recently at one Of
these banks, nine per cent per annum, or three
fourths per cent per month. These banks hsve dis
counted notes and bills at these rates during almost
The whole of the time the branch has been in exis
tence; and oener, we believe, al rates higher than
those we have named
These are facts which cannot be controverted
Upon them we desireto frame questions for the
did consideration of all honest men. We have seen
that the Constitution Of Tennessee wisely provides
that the rate of interest shall DO uniform through
out the State" and among all her citizens That one
shall not enjoy privilege il this respect which
another may not exercise. And yet We find char
tiers of incorporation authersing the foreign stock
holders Of the Union and Planters Banks to receive
as interest upen their paper currency as high as
eight per cent, while cur own citizens are prohibit
ed by express statute from receiving more than six
per cent upon money loaned on any character Of
contract iEto which they can enter Are the peo-
pie Of Tennessee willing to re-snact this policy
Are they willing TO continue the privileges 10 Phila-
delphia capitalists Of extort:ng from the Industry
and enterprise of Tennessee that which if taken
by one OF cur own citizens would be declared by
our Courts as luxurious and disreputable! Upon
what principle of justice or sound policy are mon
led corporations permitted to contract with the far
mer for greater amount of interest their credit
leaned than the farmer can contract for with the
Spectator on his produce sold
And yet Col. NETHERLAND and his organs are
insisting upon the re enactment Of these odious
bank char tiers. Gov. HARRIS and the party which
is supporting him stand opposed to them. If upon
the expiration of their charters it is the sense Of
the people that other banks necessary in their
stead, which for one we do not believe why would
it not be better to grant new charters upon such
a basis, and with such guards and restrictions as
will come as near as possible oounteractng that
wel-establshed fact" recognised by Col NTH
EBLAXD in the early history of these banks, that
corporations in their aggregate capacity, will,
upon their joint responsibility, frequently commit
acts, which, as individuals, they would blush to
justify"

The SHOOTING on WEDSEsDAY-Our statement
yesterday morning relative TO the shooting affair
which transpired on the previous day in this city
between Col. Matt Martin, of Shelbyyille and Mr.
RroWn, Of South Carolina, was, perhaps, too mea-
gre to do entire justice to Col Martin. the az

WAS commenced upon the part of Col Martin, that
gentleman gave passerSby notes to get out OF the
way, and did cot fire until seeing that no uninter-
ested persons were within the range Of his shots

Reservation of Power to Change. Modify,
or Abolish Rank Charters.

An article appears in another column of this pa
per written by of the most profound jurists in
the State, demonstrating the ezpediency of reserv-
ing to the Legislature the right to change modify,
or abolish Bank charters, when the public good de-
mands it, according to the seventh clause of the
Democratic platform This policy is consistent with
the principles of federal and State constitutions,
with the genius Of republican government, and
with the practice of most of the Oldest States of
the Union.
The granting of irrepealable charters for long
terms of years to Banking corporations, sdvOca-
ted by Gel NETHERLAND and his party, is danger
Gus at once to the liberties of the people and to the
prosperity of the State.
