The organization Of the next House of Repre-
sentatiyes will have important bearing on the
legislation of the succeeding Congress. The Black
Republicans have one hundred and thirteen mem
bers, being six less than majority If six of the
Southern Opposition members shall refuse to sup
port the Democratic candidate, in preference to a
Black Republican, the Black Republican will control
the organization they did in 1856 refusal to vote
for Democrat to defeat Black Republican equva-
lent under the circumstances asuppOr of
and will as certainly insure the election of Free
soil Speaker, and the appointment Of FreeaOil COM
mittees, the same course on the part of the
Southern Know NOhiugs accomplished that result in
the 84th Congress
The people Of Tennessee in justice to themselves
should understand, before supporting any man for
Congress, whether he will support 3 Democratic
candidate for Speaker, in order to defeat Black
Republican. Let the Opposition candidates for
Congress be forced to tell the people what course
they will take with reference to the organization Of
the House. Otherwise Southern constituencies may
find that they have, by voting for an Opposition
candidate for Congress, contributed to the election
Of some BANKS or BURLINGAME or GIDDISGS to
the third Office in the nation. Let the people Of
Tennessee look to it Call them out

Think OF Thin.

Hon. Charles Ready voted for the Kansas bill,
southern representatives generally did the same
thing. fhe bill was passed over tbs vote Of every
freesoier and every aboitiouist in Congress. Kan
sas afterwards applied for admission into the Union
with constitution recognizing and protecting negro
slavery. Every abolitionist in Congress voled
against it. us admission was opposed by every
black republican without 9 solitary exception
Charles Ready voted to receive Kansas IN o the
Union with pro slavery constitution ard the great
body Of southern representatives, did The same thing
AbOlitionists Of every grade and of every hue op-
posed the Kansas bill and opposed the LecOmpton
constitution, Mr.. Hatton, who is striving to get
Congress by displaoing Mr.. Ready does not hesita
to say that, with the lights before him had he been
in Congress, he would have voted against the Kan
sas bill, and he would have voted against the Lee
compton Constitution.
Should Mr. Ready be defeated by one holding
such sentiments the friends Of the constitution and
the advocates ofsouhern rights will have cause for
regret and who would rejoice? The abolitionist,
the free soer the black republican, whose favorite
schemes for the emancipation of negro slaves, Mr..
Ready has ever opposed, BY his speeches and his
votes.
The enemies of the Kansas bill would assuredly
rejoice over the defeat of Mr.. Ready, and hey
would as certainly welcome SIR Hatton into Con-
gress as one less Objectionable to them than his
predecessor
We are aware that this view of the contest now
going in this congressional District is not plea
ing to men who are willing to deceive themselves,
but we ask our readers to contemplate il seriously

Democratic meetinr.

According to previous notice, the Democracy of
Giles county convened at the Court House. in Pu-
laski, on Monday, the 9th of June, 1859. Or mo-
ton, Major Thomas Buford was called 70 the Chair
and John II. Woodbridge appointed Secretary. The
Chairman then explained the object Of the meeting
TO be for the purpose Of nominating a candidate to
represent the county of Giles in the lower branch Of
the next General Assembly for the State OF Tenaes
see. The names of the delegates from each civil
district being called, they retired for short time
and reported through their Chairman the name of
Thomas Martin as the unanimous choice of the
Convention. Mr.. Martin being present, came for
ward and accepted the nomination rendered to him.
expressing his determination TO buckle on his armor
and grid himself with The trusty aud tried weapons
of Democracy. Never have the Democracy in this
county been more firmly united than they are at
present. 1t was gratifying spectacle to see a man
so unanimously called UPON by SO many old SOL
diers of his party 10 carry their banner proudly to
victory, and for him TO step down from his high DO
sition, and disrobe himself of the pursuits OF a
private citizen 10 enter into the contest of hard
and bitter canvass. You may expect from old
Giles an increased majority for the Democracy in
August next. Martins name will be tower of
strength TO his party. He is bold champion and
an able advocste of the principles of Democracy
The Convention was also addressed by DIR. Thos j.
Kennedy.
On motion, it was suggested that the proceedings
of the Convention be published in the Pulaski Cat
zen, UNION AND AMERICAN, Memphis Ardlanehs

There being no further business before the Con
vention, it adjourned sine die.

We are grstified to lesEn that similar evidences

COULDN'T KEEP AWAY FROM THE GIELs-The
following is related of sold Buck" while on
recent visit to the University of North Carolina 1t
may be proper to remark that Gov. ELLIS has been
married less than year.
The train being behind time, il was concluded
not to stop for congratulations at Huntsville, enc
station from Raleigh. As fortune would have il
the crowd assembled there was large and was head
ed by about twenty young ladies-not Que of whom
could not lay very strong claim to the adjective
beautiful" This, however, did not seem to ope-
rate with Governor Ellis, who, in the most hard
hearted manner, merely appeared with Mr. Buchsn-
an On the platform, and said, "Lsdies and gentle
men, have the honor Il present to you the Presi-
dent Of the United States. As the train is behind
time, he will not have time to go among you, and
:" "Oh, yes, will, though" interrupted the
bachelor President, and leaping from the car, he
was soon among the pretty maidens. whe bushed

clearly that red cheeks and bright eyes are certain

A Brave Man.

We learn from the Paris Sentinel that Mr.. Emer-
son Etheridge the Opposition candidate for Congress
in tie Ninth District, recently made the following
declarations at that place, in discussion with Gen
J. D. C. Atkins, the Democratic candidate:
! "I HAVE TIE NERVE TO DBNoUSoE ANY MAN
WHO IS Is FAVOR OF THE ACQUISITION OF CUBA IN
| ANY MANNER"
81 an opposed to the further expansion Of the
limits Of the United States"
1.-THE Authorization Of Cuba would not be dan
| gerous Tor detrimentsl) TO the interests Of the
| South"
| This is the same ErHERIDGE who, IS Tennessee
delegate in Congress took his seat the Black Re-
publican side Of the Housewife cO-Opersted with
them in their efforts to prevent the repeal of the
odious Missouri restriction, denying the people Of
the South equal participation in the common do
main-who comforted them with the introduction Of
his famous anslave trade resolution; which, in the
language of the Radical A6Oionst strikes beyond
! the African slave trade-it condemns The American
,7ars trade and the practice Of slarehOdng with which
it is identified" Well may HORACE GBEELY ex-
claim, he did in his recent speech to the Adolf
t'onists of 0sswatamie, Kansas GALL HONOR TO
EMERsOS ETHERIDGg AND WILLIAM CULLoM OF TEN
NESssE AND THEIR NOBLE coMPATRIors," who were
'deserted by their constituents and driven from The
national councils" because they had been thus
faithful and fearless"
Strange as il may seem, few men in Tennessee re-
ceve much of the sympathy of their party organs
and leaders as EMERSON RTHERIDGE. GEs. ZoLLI-
GOLFER and Col. READY are pgmies in comparison
with him, and yet, opposed as we are to Gen.
