the Opposition in the Free States. Governor
Foote against his brethren Of the press !
Which shall we believer Taking the Oppo-
sition North and South, we are with the
Governor. OF late years the Democracy
have had such complete sway, that they have
been deluded into the belief, that they were
to rule the country for their own private ad-
vantage, and hence the immense frauds which
have been perpetrated upon the government.
The aspiring and money-loving Of all creeds
and political compilations, in order to crafty
their ruling propensity, have rushed into
their ranks, saying let us be called by your
name that we may share in the loaves and
fishes; thus making up that motley crew
which mjustly appropriates to itself the name
Democracy, while good and true men every
where, have stood opposed, and many such
who were even counted in their ranks have
fled from the midst OF the fearful corruption.
We then reiteratc the sentiment of the Gov
ernor-taking both the North and the South
that the best men are in the ranks Of the
Opposition.

Opposition Meeting.

Al large and enthusiastic gathering Of
those opposed to the Democracy, at the Coun-
Gil Chamber, on Tuesday evening, at o.
clock, on motion of William Hoblitzell, Esq,
Mr.. William Evans was called to the Chair,
and John j. Maupin, appointed Secretary.
DR.. Il. C. Gaskill and W. o. Lackey, Esq,

ton of candidates for Mayor and Councilmen
of the city of Cumberland; whereupon, D.
W. McCleary, Esq, was put in nomination
for Mayor, and there being no one else named
for the office, he was chosen by unanimou!
reclamation.
A number of gentlemen were then named
for Councilmcn, and voted for by ballot
which resulted in the choice of the following
ticket:
Messrs. Horace Resloy, c. H. Ohr, Samue
Human, Jesse Horns, A. j. Ryland and j
II. Shuck.
There being no further business before tn,

desire a iudicious and economical adIninstra-

ticket at the polls on Monday next. There
are TWO gentlemen upon the ticket who have
faithfully discharged the duties Of the posi-
ton for which they are named, and thus de-
monstrated the wisdom of their choice, and
given an unmistakeable guaranty Of their
continued devotion to the best and vital in
terests of Cumberland They have shown
themselves eminently worthy of the conf

frages again give them the ''seas OF power

views, that they may do more and better for
our city than they have ever been able to do
heretofore The ,ehoLe ticket is too well
known to require word of commentator
from us.
Let those who are sick and disguised with
the often-made, and as often-brokcn promises
of Locofocoism, give it hearty and en-

shall be enabled to wave our victorious ban
ner, with the proud consciousness that we

of the adjournment of Congress, Senator john

the Indian Appropriation Bill an amendment

turning some children to their freinds in arknn-
sas, who had been captured by Indians and sud
sequently rescued and arc now in Utah. In

intendent Of Indian affairs, were appointed to
return the children and draw the 5 10000
How fat this job is may be judged by the fact
that the fudian Agent 10 Utah bad previously
offered to return the children at cost 10 the
covernm.st OF six hundred dollars.

They heap direful and unnumbered curses

charge upon them reasonable designs upon

yet, conglemersted as tier party is, Mary

admixture of diverse elements in their 1mpo-

Return of Prosperity.

The press of the sham Democracy, would
fain have us believe that the country is reViy-
ing from its late financial prostration, and
that there is good time just ahead for every
body Their object is to silence the clamors
of the people, who have been made to suffer
by their mismanageDento of governmental af-
fairs and secure to themselves the spoils of
office. But this good time has not yet
arrived, and if we may credit the statistical
reports which are being published in the COM
mercial papers of the country, it is far, very
far off yet. While we are importing millions
of dollars worth more than we are exporting,
we would like to know by what process of
financial calculation any one can arrive at
the conclusion to which the Democracy would
read us. Talk of mans recovering from
financial prostration, when he has hardly a
dollar in his pocket, and is yctspendlng three
times as much every day as he receives, is
.ediculously absurd Then how can coun-
try in the same position precisely, regain her
wonted prosperity2 No! we are not gong
to recover from our present depressed condl-
ton unless the working class, who are the real
sufferers, shall arise, and in the might of thelr
power, hurl from Office those men, who have
foisted on them a governmental policy, that
has blasted their prospects and involved them
and their families in want and suffering
What we want is judicious Tariff, which,
while it shall afford incidental protection to
American interests, and thereby secure en-
ployment to the workingmen Of the country,
will afford ample means to carry on m eco

Report of Grand Jury.

GRAND JURY RooM April 30 1859.
To lis Honor JUD GE PERRY
The Grand Jury have made the usual visit
TO the Alma House and Jail of the county.
The jury take pleasure in expressing their
decided and unanimous appreciation Of every
thing which met their observation at the A. Inns
House. The Beatness and cleanliness Of the
buildings-internally and externally, reflect
great credit upon those who have charge of
the public property, and comfort OF that unfor.
tunate class whose misfortunes compel them to
be placed there. The Jurors could s ggest some
impro tements which might add much to the
value of the property, and convenience OF the
inmates but deem it prudent to leave this for
the future, aud better times In visiting the
Jail they regret that they did n OF discover cause
for so favorable report. The building is too
small and totally unsafe for the safe keeping of
the desperate criminals who are placed there,
and does not afford such comforts as should be
shown 10 those who are sometimes there COM
mitted upon mere grounds of uspicion. The
Grand Jury would call the attention of the
County Commissioners to this matter, also to
the dilaDidated condition of the large room in
which they haze transacted their business du-
