about the sale of the Union, and its being

no doubt our neighbor can prove that they
have he'd; and instead of venting his

his proof and convict the guilty parties.

D@~ On picking up democratic news
paper one naturally expects to find at least
an attempt to answer the charges made by
the opposition press against the Admins
tration. So far from it, however, some of
those papers rcpudiate the Presidents
leading measures; some denounce the gross
corruption of the party; others speak Of
it as disorganized-dead, so far as nation
atty is concerned, and others, again, hope
to still gull the people by ringing all the
changes upon the cry Of Black Republi-
canism. Some are for Douglass and squat
ter sovereignty some for the latter with
out the former; some for Congressional
intervention for the protection of slavery
in the Territories, and some, against it
some for one thing, some for another, yet
the majority claiming to be national and
harmonious as party, and the only proof
adduced of this last assumption is the de-
termination, by all sorts of means, to hold
ou W eho hoJ VI thO puuhO CIlu' ne
chief of these means is the cutlery against
the Republicans, and the charge of sym.
pathy between them and the opposition
in the South. The gamel has won in times
past, but it will fail to cover up the un.
paralleled corruption of the democratic
party, and the people will demand some.
thing more, in the shape of facts and argu
ments, to vindicate the party than this
stereotyped cry about slavery. Democracy
must show that it is not responsible fol-
all the concessions made to the anti-slave
ry sentiment of the North that it is no
the author of squatter sovereignty, anG
that this doctrine is not as effective agains
slavery as the Wilmot proviso--in short
that democracy is not, practically, as in
imical to southern interests as Black Re
publicanism itself. These are some of tn,
charges against the party, and they ar,
sustained by an array of facts, the force
of which can not be broken by the cry o
abolitionism against the truest and staun.

1--WE tell you here, upon the threshold of the
canvass, that the bankS-the great monied aristo-
craces Of the land-will be arrayed against you in
the coming battle, as they were arrayed against
your fathers in the days of Jackson"
The above is from the Aualanche, and
we would like its editor to tell the people
what the Bank of Tennessee will be doing
all that time. The Avalanche knows that
Institution to be under democratic con
troll, it knows that the democratic members
of the last Legislature, backed by the
democratic officers of the Bank, made a
desperate effort to increase it's capital a
million and half-no doubt, to furnish
a hard money currency-and we know
that we were told that the Bank of Ten
nessee, in past elections, was good for five
thousand democratic votes, and this was
told as by democrats. Now, we want the
Avalanche to furnish us with proof, on
the following points: That the design,
TO increase the capital of the State Bank,
has been abandoned; that its democratic
officers do not wish to hold on to their
positions, and that as democrats, they will
not make as great an effort to secure the
success of their party as the officers OF
other banks will, to defeat it. Until the
negative of these propositions is establish
ed, it is gratuitous insult to charge other
banks with selfish motives in opposing o
two faced party, and to make the impress
sion, at the same time, that the Bank Of
Tennessee, with all its peculiar interests
its democratic sympathies, and its known
anteccdents, will not be active in its efforts
to secure the success of the democratic
party-indeed, that it ,oiU labor, With the
other banks, TO overthrow that party. i
the Avalanche will prove to the satisfac
ton of the people, that the Bank of Ten
uessee is arrayed, along with the othe,
"monied aristocracies," against the demo
cratic party, he and his friends can ge
large odds on the election Of Netherland
but knowing he can not do this, and tax
ing up his note of warning, we ask the
people to watch the State Bank and i
we wished to lend the weight of demo
cratic authority to this caution, We coult
copy, from the columns of the Avalanche
TO prove that the State Bank is about cor
ruPt enough TO do anything--with I

watch the State Bank, whilst you ar,
watching all the rest.

pas- Il win be seen, by reference to the
ffTis Of appointments, that the Candidates
for Governor will speak here, next Thurs
day. We know there is great anxiety on
the part of the people to hear them, and
hope they will remember the day, and
make general turn out. The canvass,
just opening, is one Of vast Importance to
the future of this State, as well as to the
whole Union. This Importance is felt and
acknowledged by all intelligent men, and
none can be Indifferent to the issues raised
nor to the ability with which they may be
discussed by the respective champions Of
the two parties. Then let the people come
up to the occasion, as free American citi-
Sens, anxious to know the right, and re-
solved to pursue it. Leave prejudice at
home; fear not the lash of party; despise its
selfish orders, and resolve to feel and act
like freemen. In no other way can truth
be vindicated, and the best interests Of
each and all, subserved Listen as free
men, not as partizans, and decide like men,
not like the tools of selfish demagogues

Congressional legislation in protection of slavery
in the Territories irresstably carries with it the
power to legislate for its exclusion"
The foregoing brilliant idea is promul-
gated by the Kentucky iStatesmGn-the
organ of the Vice President Of the u.
States. 1t is an open, almost undisguised
effort to affiliate with the freesoilers, and
it is made by the very party that keeps
up the cry of abolititionism against the
opposition. The power to protect, carries
il the power to destroy Wonderful dis
coveryl The same Legislature that has
power to pass laws for the protection of
life and property, has the power to take
away both, at its pleasure, without the
slightest regard to the provisions of the
Constitution guaranteeing the sacredness
of both. The officer of the law, to whom
man may apply for the protection of his
life, being vested with the power to pro-
tect it, necessarily has the power to kill,
instead of protecting the petitioner. The
power to protect carries with it the power
to destroy, and the Bill of Rights and tho
Constitution are dead letters, This is
democratic reasoning, suggested by de-
termination to affiliate with freesoilers, and
modified by no sense Of justice-nO re-
gard for right. If the abolitionists want
any better Friends than the democrats OF
the South, they are unreasonable, for they
are doing more for the cause than the
North.

For the Chronicle.


Mr.. EDIroR.-Hoping and believing that you will

words to the delegates composing the Senatorial
Convention, which is to meet at Dover ON the first
Monday in May next, for the purpose of nominating
an Opposition candidate of the counties of Robert

address
Having been solicited two years ago. by ntrnger-
Gus friends from the Counties of Montgomery and
Stewart to accept the nomination. for the Senate
from the American Party, T. at that time was
compelled to decline their kind invitation in
consequence of my private affairs being in such q
condition that could not agreeably do otherwise
But ] then promised to accept that position two
years hence, should it meet the approval of my par
ty throughout the entire District.
Time sped on, and Col. Stark, of Robertson coun.
ty, was the nominee, and on the first Thursday in
August 1884, he was defeated. The Legislature
met and passed away; and at the October term Of
the Chancery Court at Dover, 1858, was AGAR
solicited by Gen. James NJ Quarles, to accept til,
nomination in 1859. From that time on, received
repeated solicitations from many of my friends il

The Hon. EDWARD EVERETT AND LOTTERrEs.-
In his eloquent discourse on the career and charac-
ter of Thomas Downes, the Hon. Edward Everett
mentions the interesting fact that the subject of his
eulogy drew prize in a London lottery, which en-
abed him to lay the foundation of his fortunes or
which promoted them in an extraordinary degree.
In the onslaught upon lotteries, it is well to note
this fact and, particularly, to remind readers
that by sending $40, So, or s2I, to Wood, Eddy 4
Co., Wilmington, Delaware, or Augusta, Georgia,
they win receive in return, ticket in their legal
ised lottery, which, if successful, will win the prize
Of $4,000, or its proportion. 1872.

Da- The N. Y. Day Book, democratic,
speaking Of the Black Republicans, says

Why then, in conclusion, is not this party ex-
posed to the indignation and contempt of the people2
Simply because the leaders of the democratic party
in the North, have not the boldness, or honesty,
patriotism, manliness to take position them
selves.
That reason will do, Mr.. Day Book, as
far as it goes; but there is yet another
and more valid one. The leadars of the
democratic party in the South, do "take a
position themselves" and that is upon
squatter sovereignty, and against the power
of Congress to protect southerners pro.
perty in the Territories, and these posi-
tons place them, cheek by jole, alongside
of the Black Republicans, who contend
for nothing more. The leaders of the
democratic party, in the North, seeing
that its leaders, in the South, concede all
that the Republicans ask, are ready enough
to concede the same, and to keep up party
distinctions only by an occasional reference
to the "time-honored principles" of de-
mocracy. And what is the inference that
northern democrats must draw from this
position of their southern brethren
Nothing more nor less than that as the
Republicans advocate these doctrines be.
cause they practically forbid the extension
of slavery, so the southern democrats
equally oppose it, when they advocate
squatter sovereignty, with its contingent
power to exclude slavery from the Terri
tories, and to nullify the bred Scott deci
sion. And when to this doctrine they ado
the other, that Congress has no power tc
protect the southern mans rights in the
common Territories, that inference is MOI
only legitimate, but unavoidable.

THE SUGAR CROP OF SOUTHERN CUBA.
From our contemporaries of Trinidad
and Sancti Spiritus, the great depots of SUI
gar growing region of the southern side of
the Island of Cuda, we learn that the new
crop, is now nearly all in, falls far short Of
thatof the last year. This is attributed to
the I''inconstancy" of the rains, at times
too heavy for the good of the cane, and a.
gain failing when most needed.
THE FRUIT.-The Athens Post of the
22d says:
Thefrosts of last week finished up the
prospect for fruit crop in this region
We don't believe there is a peach left in
the county. Beans and other tender veg.
etables were all cut down. Though the
frosts were heavy, we have not learned Of
serious damage to the young wheat.

B65- The democratic candidate for Gov
ernor Of Kentucky says Congress has no
power to protect slavery in the Territories;
and the democratic organ of Kentucky
says Congress has the power, but hadn't
ought to exercise it. The candidate would
have us infer that the Constitution affords
no protection to southerners out side of a
State, whilst the organ holds out the idea
that southerners ought not to be protec-
ted, because it might give offence to north
ern democracy. Both are wrong, and
both are enemies of the South yet both
are democrats, and the people must take
it for granted, therefore, that neither can
err, and that democracy is unit. Such
twaddle is disgusting, and such trifing
with southern rights is little short OF
crime. Will the masses never learn thai
democracy is the worst enemy of the
country?
