THE TENNESSEE OPPOSITION PLATFORM is
highly commended by the Columbus (Georgia)
Enquirer: at is Just such o platform as all |
Southern men-all conservative and constitu- |
tional mon everywhere-ought to stand upon. |
While deprecating further attempts to agitate |
the question of slavery, il announces distinctly !
the constitutional doctrine in reference to the |
Territories, which alone can maintain the rights
| of the South, No Congressional Intervention !
and no Squattor Sovereignty Let us see if the !
Democratic party of the South, even with all
its boasts Of peculiar devotion to Southern |
rights, will as clearly announce opposition to
| the heresy of Douglas and Cassl The Tennes-
see resolutions also point out tho reforms in
the administration of the Government, now
imperatively demanded to preserve IL from
hopeless bankruptcy and unparalleled corrup.
tion. The first step 10 be taken in this work of
reform is the removal of the Democratic party
| from power; and we rejoice in the belief that
the Tennessee Opposition will in August next
make strong and effective demonstration to-
ward that end"
A NAVAL INCIDENTAL shcrt time since, in
Montevidoo, while q French frigate was re-
turning an American salute, one Of the gunnors
had his arm blown of. As soon as the fact
| was known in tho American squadron, SUBJ
| scription for him was started, which produced
among ten ships the very handsome sum of
81 ,4OOl Upon its remission to him, the French
Admiral addressed to the Americans one of
those charming little notes 80 graceful in the
! French language, in which be said that al
though degrees of latitude and longitude might
bind the geographical limits Of our country and
| determine the allegiance professed to it's flag,
there was no such confines to the generosity Of
the American sailor. -'0
SOUND DOCTRINES COVER THE LEFT"-A
neighboring contemporary, after enumerating
ga few fights and knock downs" in his locality
adds most sagaoiously and piously: "These
quiet little knock-downs are the safety valve Of
our Republican institutions, through which the
pent-up patriotism of the people find vent"
Another individual, equally near to us, and
who is of the same profession (editorial), posi-
lively declares that if certain individual
should call on any of his readers for a sub
scription, their duty was "to kick him out and
knock him down." Well may all law-abiding
citizens exclaim, "From such tripod-teachers--
deliver u.s."
The ENRAGED MUsIcIAN.-0ur ootempora-
ry, the Chicago Press and Tribune, thus refers to
the recent quarrel among the Formes troop while
in this city "The immortal Formes, with his
deep bass, knew and acted an indignation still
deeper few days ago at Cincinnati, and took
pitch on his own hook, by pitching into Gus
tave Satter, the pianist, who got ,promiscuously
knocked heels over head in a sdccdto movement,
which Formes was about to make da capo, and
would have done SO but for the interference of
others. Music hath charms to sooths,' but
does not, it would seem, reserve them in the
highest perfection for her prime favorites."
KIDNApPINa.-A widow named Mary MoIn-
tyre, living in st. Louis, was, on Wednesday
afternoon, waited upon by q large, coarse
looking and sandy haired man, who represented
to her that he was farmer in Illinois, and
wished to hire her to work for him. After
some conversation she agreed, and he then de.
sired to take her little boy, six years of ago. to
shop to buy him pair of boots. The much
: pleased mother assented, but has not since seer
her little boy. She has applied to the police
who are using all practicable means to recover
the child and detect tho contemplate kidnap-
per.
