That JOHN NETHsRLAH said in his speech at Shell
byvile that the man who would screen himself from
his honest debts under an exemption Law, would
fuse 10 pay for his mothers shrOud He did not
want the votes Of such men. Every man in the
community who has found it necessary to project
himself and his family from pTivaion and want un-
der the provisions Of this humane law, is held up
to publis odium and contempt by the Opposition
candidate for Governor, and his vote rejected as q
disgrace This same JOHN NETHERLAND voted,
while in the Legislature Of Tennessee, to exempt
the bankers property from liability for his bank
debts. The wealthy capitalist who screens his
property from his honest debts under the provis-
ions Of this Law, receives no word Of condemnation
from Col. NETHERLsED. The act which he con-
dennis IN the poor man, he fsneiions and approves
in the millionaire Col. NETBERLAND voted to
screen the bankers property from his creditors and
thinks it right for him to avail himself of the pro-
lection of the lay, Bus the humble husbandman
and hard working mechanic must surrender the
last vsstge of their property to their creditors, or
they viii incur Col. NETHERLANDS displeasure.
He failed to defeat the law which projects the poor
mans property, but he viii render it nugatory BY
denOunciDg the man who takes advantage Of it as

Mr.. RwiSe's speech a. Tie Chattanooga depot,
on Tuesday night, was An abs, snd satisfactory
viadieaion of the Democratic policy the eurren-
cy q1esti0B. He poiatsd 10 the resui Of p,nocrat
ic legslaon in the last Legislature as guarantee
of the CORRECTNESS Of n It policy The Opposition
had control of tbs State government up 10 1857.
and we all remember the deplorabls ondiliOn Of
our BlSks and currency under the operation of
their policy. The Democracy ia two years haze re-
stored The Banks to sOuad aad heiithy state.
Mr.. EWING referred to the fact that he had been
designated hy the Opposition as tie author Of the
Democratic platform. he eerssjny thought he
ought to understand it, It anaouates the policy TO
be pursued BY the Democracy on the currency quey-
tOn with perfect clesrness. 1t is the same policy
which was pursued in the last Legislature. We
propose to reform the Banking system Of the State
just so far and no farther than may be necessary

AN IMPORTANT Contribution TO POLITICAL HIS
roRY.-The South Carolnian published at Columbia,
contains long aud elaborate communication from
the Hon. F. ". PICKENs, our present minister to
Russia on several very important subjects connect
ed with the political history Of this country 1t
was written from ST. Petersburg, and is designed to
be a vin9ication Of Mr.. CALHOUN and President
Polk from certain aeg atoms contained in Col BEN
ToN'g "Thiriy Years in the United States Senate"
relating to the annexation of Texas, the tariff, the
visit of Mr.. PICKBNs. to Mr.. POLK, the dismissal of
Messr5. BLAIR s. RIvEs from the Government or
gan" and many other matters of interest. The
publication of this remarkable "refuiauon' would
have been made at earlier period, bat for the
death of Colonel BENToS in the spring Of 1858. As
Mr.. PICKENs vas the original and now sole deposit
tory of the facts upon which Colonel BENToX's rep
resentations alleged to have been founded, he
deems it proper at this time to make public flu l
and true statement of everything that transpred in
the visit alluded to in Col. BENToS's book.

STaA1xING Their CRsDIr.-Rumor says that the
anxiety of the Opposition party to defeat Charles
Ready is so great that some of its members have
actually condescended to beg democrats to vote for
Mr.. Hattov, promising them if they will do so now,
that they The voters of the Opposition, WILL for FIVE
years to come, vote for any and every candidate
that the democrats may ask them to vote for While
this shows the great desire of the Opposition party
to elect their anti Kansas pet it cannot fail to i'm
press Southern men and particularly the democrat
ic party, with the importance of this election. We
have he ard of no Democrat green enough to make
such q bargain. We expect to hear of none.
We wara our friends against making covenants
with the Opposition party its leaders look alone TO
success regardless of the means to be employed,
aud they will practice deception. Let no Democrat
batrsy his party, let all act in harmony, and yicto-
~ viii be sure Let there be no division among

It is evident that the Opposition leaders care more
for The election of EruER1DoE and the defeat of
READY than for any two results to be determined
next Thursday. Why is it? Because they want to
prepare the public for fusion of the Southern OPP
position with the northern Opposition or Republic
cans and these results would do than anything
else to secure it. OF all Southern men, ETHERIDGE
is The f4Eorte of the Republicans of the NORTH and
they would give more to secure his elestion than to
carry half dozen districts in the north. The de-
feat of READY is the object of next interest to The
Republicans north, because such result would be
held up as proof of lukeWsrmness in the cause for
which Col READY severed his connection with the
Opposition party. Ills understood that jobs BELL,
to whom the Republicans are looking their pos
sible candidate for the Presidency, is actively en-
gagged against READY, and as READY triumphs or
falls, so will the strength of JOHN BELL in the
State be estimated. Tbeee are the reasons why We
witness the fierce opposition to READY and the un
parrelleIed effort to elect ErHERIDGE. 1t is for
Democrats TO decide whether these efforts shall be
successful. They can carry both districts II they
| try One energetic effort, and the work is accom-
| plished. Democrats of the 5th and OH make that
dfort Work as though your political all depended
