G5- The Onion and american says that Nh
NEEs vanquishes QUARLEs on every stump,
aud really intimates that he has some show
for success. But it has permitted its feelings
to get the better of its Judgment. The
thought is PROFESSIONALLY the Legitimate off
spring of the wish, and neither the parent
nor the child can live longer than the 4th of
August. We only refer to the subject TO
chow what absurd beliefs will take posses
sion OF some minds under excitement. The
hundreds and even thousands who have heard
the candidates for Congress in this DistriI t
will find il difficult to concur with our neigh
bors, even for the sake of accommodation.
Gen. QUARLEs is one of the ablest debaters
aud most fluent and pleasing speakers in the
State and in beth these respects, 10 our es-
timalion, is very greatly the superior OF DR..
MENEEs. This is the popular judgment al o,
"a will be shown and confirmed at the ballot
box

That's the question, most prominent before
the people of this State, and most important
to their interests. which has to be decided by
them at the ensuing election, in August 1t
addresses itself, therefore to the serious con-
sideration of every citizen, no matter what
may be bis pursuit in life. nor what his polli-s
ieal associations. as it does, the
alternative of activity, growth, progress, on
the one hand, and arrest of development,
stagnation, decay, on the otherl-involving
indeed. the commercial life or death of this
immediate community, and along with it,
the interests of the vast and various regions
of country which are naturally connected
with tit rises Infinitely above any mere
question of political party, and, alike in its
character and consequences, goes Infinitely
beyond all temporary expedients- and enilre-
ly supercedes all those obligations which may
be supposed to grow out of any party organ
iZation for other purposes.
What indeed, has the great question before
us to do with the political party divisions of
the nation? What national party has ever
made the question whether to establish or de-
stroy local or State Banks, an article in their
political creed? In times past, National
Bank before that became an "obsolete idea"
was such question. and legitimately So; in
vOlving, as it did, not only the minor ques-
lions of financial convenience, and admins
tEdilFt pOuCJ+ tilot DlEheos VI ob ptiist-
cal uuestions-the Constitutional power of
the Federal Government. But, We repeat,
the question of local or State Banks was new
er included in this. Least OF all wa, Hpposi-
ton to local Banks ever adopted as part of
their creed by the Democratic party. Indeed,
it is familiar to the minds of all who are eth
er old enough to have had personal expert
ence of those times, or have studied their
history, that State Banks were the special
favOrites of General Jackson, himself. and
have ever since, been more or less favored
by his most able and enlightened followers.
In the political history of the country. so far
as we now remember, the sO-called Demo
cratic Convention, which assembled at Nash
Vile in March last, and assumed to speak
and act for the people of Tennessee, was the
first las we believe it has been the last) po-
litical assembly to propose opposition to all
Banks of circulation, and the resort to an ex-
cusively metallic currency, as an article OF
their political faith, and adopted it in their
party platform. So far, then, il is an inter-
polation into the ancient Democratic creed,
not founded in any general principle, nor
warranted by the tradition or usage of the
party .--Menphis Enquirer.

Great Excitement i'm Daviess County.
Conspiracy Among slaves.

Quite a violent excitement is now
existing in the Nashville neighborhood,
concerning the detection of a conspiracy
among large number of slaves. the object
of which was robbery, poisoning, arson, bur-
glary and murder.
few nights ago the house of young Mr..
Samonds was broken into, rifled of all its
valuable contents. and then burned down.
Mr. Samonds and his wife were absent from
home else they would have been murdered.
This is the third house that has been mysteri-
ously burned in that neighbOrhOod, and the
small losses and annoyances that the people
of the neghborhood have been subjected to
for year or so have been innumerable..
The people of the neighborhoOd. when Mr..
Samonds house was burned, determined to
ferret out the cause of the numerous outragPs
A negroe girl of Mr.. Davis, who bad let slip
some remark concerning it. was arrested. and
made a full confession, by which it was
brought to light that there was then existing
in the neighborhood regular systematic con-
spracy among large number of slaves in
the neighbOrhOod. who were banded together
for the purpose of plumber. and were arIang-
ing plans to poison and murder some of the
citizens in the neighbOrnood, to break into
and rob the houses of Others. She implicated
six others in the burning of Mr. Samords's
house. They were all arrested and brought
before the magistrates for trial, but no other
evidence could be obtained TO coTroborate
the testimony. The Court, therefore, could
not send them on for further trial, and when
this fact was ascertained, the neighbors, a
large number of whom were in attendance at
the trial, being convinced of the existence Of
the plot among the negroes, became infuriat-
ed, and propositions were made to infiict
summary punishment upon the offenders, and
it was only by promise on the part of the
owners to remove them from the State that
the negroes were not hung by the people.
The negroes, seven of them. including the
girl. were brought to town on Thursday, and
lodged in Jail, whence they will be taken
South and sold. The negroes belonged to

Scenes on the battle Field OF Sol
ferinO--Edect of the French Rided
Cannon.

have visited to-day the plains of Guidiz-
colo, where the battle which began at Sol
ferino terminated at a late hour of the night.
At ten O'Clock. in fact, the Sandman aud
French cannon could still be heard.
The artillery may he said to have done its
work for the frsL time during the present
campaign on that occasion. Until then it
had now and then been brought out, but at
last it has played the principal part. The
power of the rifled cannon is henceforth es-
tabished. will cite but one fact in support
of this assertion. Gen. DeSvaux saw in the
distance about thirty squadrons of cavalry,
consisting of Italians and dragons, forming
into masses, and preparing to thunder down
upon the squares of Renaud's division. The
danger was imminent and grave, for the
French troops bad their TANKS compromised
and were in front of an Austrian battery,
which worried them with grape. Gen. Des-
vauX pointed ont the danger To Capt Fist,
commander OF the eigth battery of the Tenth
regiment of artillery, who at once established
battery of rihed cannonsupon small emf
hence in the plain, and fired four rounds OF
shells containing forty balls a distance of
more than two thousands yards. The effects
produced seemed like the work of enchant-
ment. The captain saw in the first place that
wide gaps had been made in the enemy g
ranks then all of sudden that this terrible
mass of cavalry was dispersingin every direc-
tion, utterly disordered. and without needing
orders or rallying at the word of command.
Twenty thousand of the Austrian cavalry,
upon whose aid every reliance bad been
placed, were thus rendered useless, and it was
directly after this catastrophe. i'll am rightly
informed. that the Emperor Francis Joseph
abandoned the camp, tears of vexation aud
despair in his eyes.

- hr WALKER is the ablest representative of
the Democratic Party in North Alabama. He,
it will be noted, coincides in opinion with
strong men Of the PATTY in other Southern
Statts. Resistance will be made 10 the de-
mands of these men, but, We believe. their
views will PRE- dominate in the greater portion
Of the Souihern States. and finally coerce the
Southern democracy into unit upon the de
mand for Congressional protection. This
issue cannot be avoided at Charleston it
must lie met and will be met. Our Tennessee
democracy may keep their views sealed
book from the people until the meeting of
that body. but they cannot dodge the issue
there. AT present they are, we feel well as
sured, against protection; but what will they
not become at Charleston? The party is on
the road to ruin, and they will not dare at
tempt, in the Metropolis, of Fire-eating, to APP
ply the check-rein. The concern is, under
such management, bound to blow up, and
Mir. WALKERS alternative of Southern nom-
alton and platform resorted to. The country
will lose nothing by the operation. 1t may,
in the end, be vastly the gamer by such an
event. At any rate, there is good reason 10

it offers nothing better than q trusting to Pro-
