The only Party able to Protect the
S0uth


The following extract from an article in
the N. Y. Herald of the 18th, discloses the
condition of the ''only party able to protect
the South !"
In 1886 the success of the democracy
depended upon the vote of Pennsylvania
and the Presidency and the party were
thus secured through the personal popu-
larity of Mr.. Buchanan, whose name in
that famous October local election arrest
ed the victorious march of Fremont, and
settled the question against him month
in advance of the main battle But how
stands the matter in reference to the sue
oessionY Pennsylvania has been recon-
quered by the opposition, and, from the
hot discussions there prevailing in the
democratic camp, we may pretty safely
count that State on the opposition side in
our estimates for 1860 Indeed, from
the local elections of the last twelve
months, and from the intestine discords
OF the democracy here, and everywhere,
it is by no means improbable that by De-
cember next heyioM Be dispossessed of every
Northern STATE, including ever California, and
creeping Onid Oregon.
This Northern view exhibits most un-
promising condition of things to any demo-
cratic aspirant who dreams of entering the
White House. through the door of the
Charleston Convention.

THE SPECIE STILL Cause.-The continual
expectation of specie, the natural conse-
quence Of the heavy importation of foreign
fabrics, begins to alarm the more cautious
observers of commercial affairs. There
seems little expectation that Europe will
require any very large amount of bread
stufis from us, and our other exports fall
far short of the deficiency. We ttnow
that, according to the theory of free trade,
the export Of specie is an advantage rath-
er than an evil; we know that upon this
theory gold and silver are just like any
other commodities, governed by the same
laws, performing the same Office, and of
no greater or less consequence in the
commercial world than the same amount
of flour, OF cotton, or tobacco, but ex-
perience shows us that the export of
specie is very different in its consequences
from any other export; that while for
the scarcity of the other articles remedies
can be found and substitutes provided.
for the lack of money there is none

IMPORTING the ADMINISTRATION DENoc-
RAcY-GETTINGs DEsPERATE.-The Democ-
racy of Tennessee are alarmed in view of
the popular swell for Netherland and the
Opposition ticket, and are making hercu-
lean efforts to save themselves. A grand
Democratic barbecue and mass. meeting"
is ANNOUNCED to come off at Grand juno
ton, Hardeman county, on the Both inst,
at which, among other speakers, the Vice
President Of the United SAFES, itisannounced
will address the people. Why don't they
send for "Old BuclSV himself, and get him
to explain why he endorsed the corrupt
Patterson letter, asking for government
contracts on political grounds; or Secre-
tary Toucey, to explain why q contract
was given to political favorite at price
far exceeding the lowest bid2 Why don't
they send for Cass, to tell the naturalized
citizen that he can stay at home and do
very well, but he can't travel to his native
country? If they are to have the second
officer Of the Administration, they might
as well swallow the whole thing. The eff
feet will be the same.
John G. breckenridge, Vice President,
is in favor of Douglas for President as his
second choice-John G. Breckenridge be-
ing his first, as we understand. This Grand
junction of the Democracy of Tennessee,
Mississippi and Kentucky will not ignore
Swell headed apostate,p therefore.
The importation Of the Administration
and the concentration of the orators of
the party in the Memphis District, shows
that the 'unterrifed'' are badly scared.
Their big guns, however, viii flash in the
pan. as far as saving their waning fortunes
is concerned. All the salt in their COM
position will not save the Memphis Dis
trict, nor the State. --NashpiHe Banner.

who are the Black Republicansp

The democratic organs, some of them
through ignorance, and others through a
sheer love of Misrepresentation, charge
that the Black, Republican strength is
derived from the Wing party. Now,
what are the faetsi Inthe late Senate
there were twenty-five Black Republicans;
of these fifteen were Democrats and ssce,

HARD UP,-One of the candidates for
the Legislature in White county is charg-
ing that the Post0ffice appropriation bill
of the last session of Congress, was defeat
ed by Senator, Toombs, and that Senator;
Toombs is member of the Opposition.
If we credit. this mans sincerity, we do
him no injustice, when we pronounce him
the most consummate Of all the aspiring
ignoramuses in the State. A. man that
has no better information than this ex-
hibits, is a fit subject Tor an inquest Of hun

The Issue Close of the Canvass.
THE Nashville Patriot, Of the 10th, has
a well-writtcn and well-tempered article
upon the issues and close Of the canvass.
We take the following extract from that
article, and commend il TO the attention
Of all. Itsays -
A question Of more Immediate concern
N the people OF Tennessee, Is also to be
decided. .Whetherthe system Of mixed
currency. or an exclusive metallic one is
to be sdoptedg There can be no doubt,
after what has transpired, that the lead
ers of the democratic party In this State
intend and aim to make the circulating
medium a purely metallic one. 1t would
be impossible to effect il at the next Legis-
lature. But they can so far accomplish It,
as to strike the. Union and Planters Banks
from existence by refusing to re-charter
them. Although the charters Of these
banks will not have expired, on the re-
fusal Of the Legislature tore-charterthem
at the next session, they viii soon practi-
callv cease toafiord any extended currency
facilities, as they will have to prepare for
their final winding up. Such refusal will
therefore amount to their practical aboli-
ton This is the first great step towards
a pure and unadulterated gold and silver
currency, one which is to be speedily fol-
lowed up until the object is fully attained.
They, however, seek to avoid the full
weight of their radical and ruinous limo
vation, by protesting TO aim at refofm.--
The public will hardly be deceived by this
pretext. They must know that after the
two solvent old banks, which it proposed
to destroy go out of existence, It will re-
quire years for any new banks to attain
to their present strength, and to gain so
fully the confidence of the people IL
they be sincere, why not perpetuate these
banks by renewing their charters with
such additional safeguards as experience
may have pointed out. Ifreform is really
the object, why not take this course
Unquestionably the ultimate object of
! these professions, is the abolition of all
banks. VIII the people submit TO thisf

citizen Of Quincy, who left this country
on a visit to his native land some time
ago, has been arrested and impressed into
the Prussian army. Mr.. 0hnemus is n
saddler by trade, and owns property in
Quincy valued at $4,000. The case, re-
garded in the light of common sense,
seems to be one of great hardship; but

pounded by the present administration,

was wounded in the duel with Mr.. Wise, is un-

has been SO reduced by suffering and confine-
ment that in all probability he will not resume
his seat in Congress during the present session.
He came to Washington with the view of a
beneficial effect from the change of association.
The resolution of Mr.. Phelps, providing for
night sessions of the House, is merely for de-
livery of buncombe speeches, and was passed
by large majority. This is intended to facili-
tate the transaction of business in the House
during the earlier part of the day, when it will
be insisted that the discussions shall be strictly
confined to measures legitimately before the
