aeA-- The Jeffersonian brings up the
Gardner claim to prove the corruption of
Mr.. Fillmore administration. Now, just
for information, we PROFOUND the follow
ing questions, and ask succinct reply
Was not the Mexican Commission appOin-
ted by Mr.. Polk2 Did not that Commits
sion decide that the Gardner claim was
valid? Was there not a democratic ma
jority in both houses of Congress when
that claim was allowed, and for which our
neighbor holds Mr., Fillmore responsible
And if these things are true, who is re-
sponsible for the Gardner swindle2 as il
is called. Plain answers may enlighten

Ba- The nomination, on Monday last,
of N. B. Dudley Esq, as a candidate for
the Legislature, nearly completes our
ticket. Mr.. Dudley is a man of fine judg-
ment and good debating powers, and will
make good fight in the good cause. Let
his friends, at once, 60 to work in earnest,
resolved to carry him triumphantly
through the contest, and, in aiding him,
strengthen the District and State ticket to
the extent of their ability. 1t is not
right, generous, or polite to put men on
a ticket and then leave them to fight their
own battles. Opposition to locofocoism
is common cause with all who repudiate
its policy and despise its corruption, and
each individual member should act as
though the result OF the election rests upon
his efforts. Ali are equally interested in
the result, and he that fails to do his part
according to his ability, fails in the dis
charge of very high duty. Then lei
every man put his shoulder to the wheel
and loose no opportunity to advance the
good work.

For the Chrnnicla.


Mr.. EDITOR A few days since, while
passing through your city, we had the
pleasure Of receiving an invitation from
the courteous and affable Dr. Hamilton, to
visit the Clarksville Female Academy, of
which he is the President, and truth com
pells us to say, We were never more deligh-
ted. We found it in a most fourishing
condition, and our curiosity was at once
gratiied, when we readily observed the
reason why this institution is attracting so
much attention at home and abroad. Feel
ing an interest in this, as we'll as all other
institutions of learning our inquisitiveness
induced us to make some inquiries in re-
gard to the history of its organization and
its progress and we were no less rejoiced
than surprised to learn that it had been
in operation but little more than 6 months,
and that it now numbers some two humid
red pupils.
These facts may be astonishing to those
who are personally acquainted with the
distinguished, able and energetic Principal
and the proverbial healthiness of its loca-
ton. But to those who are acquainted
with the fact, that GAINESVILLE is one of the
most healthy, as well as beautiful towns on
the Cumberland river, and who are also
acquainted with the unparalleled urbane-
ty and energy of DR.. Hamilton, it cannot
be a matter of astonishment that this In
stitution is receiving so large share Of
patronage and is SO rapidly distanciDg the
most popular Institutions of the South
The building itself is commodously ar
ranged, and admirably adapted to the
health and comfort of the pupils. The
rooms are large, we'll ventilated and furn.
ished with everything that is necessary for
the comfort and convenience of the board
ers. The adjacent grounds are most ele.
gantly improved and tastefully embelished
for the recreation Of the young ladies, and
neither pains nor expense are spared to
make their academic duties as agreeable
and fascinating as possible.
DR.. Hamilton is thorough discipline,
rian, and governs with frmness, tempered
with mildness, and paternal affection fol
those under his instruction and govern
ment. In short, We must say we hav,
never had the pleasure of visiting an in
stitution of learning where such universe
good order and harmony prevailed, ant
where the pupils yielded such cheerful anc
implicit obedience. Every department in
the academy is filed with able and expert
enced teachers. From our knowledge o.
this institution and of the high and ire
proachable character and superior qualif
cations OF the President, we would mos
confidently and earnestly commend it t.
the patronage of parents and guardians
who have daughters and wards to educate
as possessing superior advantages for
finished and thorough education.
From present indications, we predict 70
the "Clarksville Female Academy" bril-
liant future.

please Mr.. Cass he must make the best of

e6r Some of the disunion organs of
the South are beginning to discuss the
measures that should be adopted, in the
event of the success of the Republican
party, in. 1860. This is the first step TO-
wards the same trick which gulled SO many
wings into the support Of Buchanan that
is to Brighten the people by presenting the
alternative Of locofoco success, or dis
union. II is dishonest deyiee that
should call forth excerations from every
honest heart, upon the heads of the knaves
who conceived it. These same disunionists
have never failed to act with the locofocos,
Of the South, who gave birth to the Re-
publican party, and who have signed,
sealed, and delivered every conveyance Of
a southern right that has been coded to
the freesoil party. They still cling to
locofocoism, and their province is to sound
the false alarms that are designed to
Brighten the timid, and afford pretext to
Ln6 kndNlbn-bndJ Tue lOTueI may ny "
the locofoco camp for safety, the latter
for plumber. If the people would reflect
a moment, they would see the folly Of
needing these cries of alarm. If the
pretended disunionists were honest, in
their assumed fears for the safety of tn,
Union, would they cling TO the only party
that has ever endangered it2 Look at S
Carolina Has it ever given any othe
than locofoco voter Yet, for years, ha
it been uttering threats of disunion, upoI
the plea, that the very party it supports
so administers the government as to op
press the South. If s. Carolina wer
honest, it would abandon that party, ant
try the effect of other measures. But i
either seeks disunion, and uses the cor
rupt locofoco party as the means Of effect
ing it, or it knows there is no danger, an
, plays the alarmist for share of the spoils
J Common sense can suggest no other solu
J tion-consistency will tolerate no other.

R6T We predicted, before the meeting
Of the locofoco State Convention, that its
resolution on the currency, would be two
faced-one TO be turned towards the hills
and hollows, the other, towards commercial
localities. That we we're right, is now
made apparent by the positions of the
appeal and the Aralanche-the former the
organ Of the Softs, the latter, of the Hards.
The Appeal announces to its readers that
the resolution pledges the party TO sound
paper currency, convertible, at the will of
the holder, into specie. The Avalanche
admits. that there is a want of directness
and clearness in the language of the plat
form, but by putting three of the resolu-
tons together, it arrives at the conclusion
that the party is committed to the ultimate
abolition of all banks, and return to
hard money. One resolution declares
gold and silver to be the constitutional
currency; another declares that banks are
SO engrafted upon the monetary arrange
mcnts of the country that even democracy
can not eradicate them; and a third, de,
clares that the Legislature shall reserve
the right to rescind, at pleasure, the
charters of all private corporations
These three resolutions the Avalanshe
dovetails together and makes a hard
money plank for the Hards to stand upon
and prepares the way for a hard fight on
both sides of the question, but in perfect
harmony between the disagrecing factions
of the locofoco party. The ring of specie
is to be heard among the hills and hollows
and bank notes are to rustic iu the town,
and cities, and the parties to this fraud
are to pull together in perfect harmony
united by a single bond-the spoils.--
Such is the locofoco platform, and such
the dishonest means by which the party
hopes to achieve a victory.

s@- Davidson County, in the selection
of its candidates for the Legislature, has
done itself honor, and entitled itself to
the thanks Of Tho Opposition, throughout
the State. John Trimble and j, B. White
are fitted, by their high moral character
and intellectual powers, to grace any posi-
ton to which the people can raise them
and the lofty patriotism which alone &C
tuatcd them in the acceptance of the posts
assigned them, the devotion to country
which supplants every consideration OF
private interest-affords an example of un.
selfish loyalty, worthy of universal imita-

spirit to save the Republic in the hour Of
peril, and to preserve its integrity in the
season of corrupting prosperity, and heed

Say 1t seems that our County Conven-
tion, on Monday, did not exactly suit the
taste of our neighbor of the Jc6ersonian,
and he is down on it in way peculiar to
himself, That it did not please him, we
can redily imagine, and no one will be
surprised at it, when informed that the
Convention was called, and its business
Transacted without the slightest reference
to his tastes or wishes, and without the
least regard to what he might think, or
say about it, From his remarks, he is
evidently disploased; but we hope the
opposition will be able to stand up under
the weight of his wrath.

Aa- Mr.. r. B. Cheatham, the OPPOSE
ton candidate for Floater, spent portion
of the last and the earlier part, of the
present week, in our town. In the County
Convention, on Monday, he was called to
the stand, but, in the absence of his COM
petitor, declined to make speech, excused
himself, in few happy remarks pertinent
to his position. Mr..C. is a working man
made up of sound judgment, untiring
energy, and a zeal commensurate with the
importance of the cause in which he is
enlisted. Such a man not only can't be
beaten, but will out run the question:
Let the Opposition do its duty but hall
as well as he will do his, and, our word
for it, the cause will be the gamer by his
efforts. Our ticket, throughout the Dis
trict, is one of marked ability--let the
party do its duty, and glorious victory
will reward their efforts.
