A MfSSsLick,

Mr.. House made speech in front of office
on Friday night, which was doubtless inten led to
help his party in this contest. Blu. so hopeless is
Mr.. HOUsE (whO, by the way is a man of sagacity
| and talents.) of the election of Col NETHERLAND,
that he has not taken the trouble to inform himself
with regard to his position on the Bank question.
The consequence was, that while Mr.. HOUSE i'm
| sginei he pouring his srGlery into the ranks
of the Democracy, he was really bat ering down
the bulWcrAs Of his own party.
The position which he assigned Gov. HARRIS, and
sgsinst which he directed all Of his powers of argu
msnt and ridicule, was precisely the position of
| Col NErHEaLASD. We thank Mr.. House, though
the kindness was unintentonal, for exposing the
unmeaning hypocrisy of Col. NETHERLANDS favor
lite phrase, in explaining his bank policy H. is in
favor of bank charters, as all who have heard him
remember, NTH proper restrictions Mr.. House. says
this is position unworthy Of man aspiring to be
Governor of Tennessee that it is not dealing fair
ly with the people; that it is dodge and an
evasion that the phrase, "proper restrictions"
may mean anything or nothing, and thst it is mere
mask to conceal some dark scheme or fatal purpose
He says that the Devil might be in favor of the ten
commandments "Oah proper restrietions," and yet
be as bad as ever. So he might, Mr. HOUSE. We
have insisted throughout this canvass that Gel
NETHERLAED should tell the people what he means
by proper restrictions" But he won't do it. He
continues to cling to that empty, unmeaning phrase,
refusing to explain define it. Gov. HARRIS has
never used this expression in defining his position
on Banks. He tells US specifically what are the
restrictions he desires to throw around the banks
He is in favor of prohibiting the circulation of small
notes. Hs insists on making all notes payable at
the counter where they are issued He is in favor
of making bank individually responsible for
their debts like other people, and making the Bsnks
themselves responsible to the people for their good
behavior.
Col. NETHERLAND, on the other hand is in favor
of "propsr reStrictions." Mr. HOUSE says that is
very unmeaning phrase, and very dishonest way
Of dealing with the people. We thiak SO too, and
hope to see the people condemn such hypocrisy at
the polls.

The secret circular Of tae KaoI Nothing 0ro-
sitlon Committee was ranked through the SITE
by joins BELL. late Senator in Congress. We bar
of it in every direction, and have in cur possession
copies sent to as by gentlemen to whom he had
franked it. There can be 40 mistake. for thesn-
velOpes, With his frank, are enclosed to US, cong
with the circulars.
And now, fellOW-citizens, see how this loks:
This Central Know Nothing COMMITTEES has pent
this summer in publishing and circulating aocu-
ments, charging the Democratic party With tauds
on the Treasury and exravagance. The frank ofa
Senator, whose term of Office has expired, is lee By
him TO evads the payment of postage on prtiOn
of these documents, and to circulate their secret
appeals TO their pariisans The fraaking privilege
of Mr.. BELL does not, it is true, expire until the
meeting Of the next Congress. The use of it how
ever in the circulation of partisan pamphlets snd
circulars, is fraud the revenues Of the Post Or
fee Department, deserving the severest censure
Especially is the Of il to circulate documents
charging fraud and extravaganza on the Democrat
ic patty, an act Of hypocrisy to which no man who
has occupied the public position of JOHN BELL
ought TO be willing to sloop. he makes the Treas
ury pay for circulating partisan charges against the
Democracy and all to save few dollars. This
is fair illustration of the wholecOndact Of the OPP
position, and is coed commentary on the sincerity
of their professions of economy.
| Not one document or circular issued by The Dem
oerstic Central Committee, has been sent out under
the frank of Member of Congress. The postage
has been paid in full and in advance, aad theex
pense has been betrayed by the voluntary cOntri-
buttons Of the mechanics and working mepof Nash
vile Yet they are charged with corruption by the
| Opposition, and these charges of corruption are
circulated at the expense of the public treasury by
a misuse of the Thanking privilege.
Think of these things, readers.

The issues of The elections about to take place
Kentucky and Tennessee are not unlikely to decide
the political desinies of the nation for long Ions
years to come.-LouisUiHe Journal
They about to decide whether the Opposition
in these States shall be sustained in their overture:
for coalition with the Black Republicans in 1860
They abOut to decide the prediction of Senator
WILSON, of Massachusetts, who, with BELL and
ETHRRIDGH in bis eye, no doubt, said
ave shall have glorious allies in the South. We
shall have men like Cassus NJ. Clay. We shall have
generous brave, gallsnt men rise up in the South
who will, IN their own time, in their own way for
the interest of the master and bondman, lay the
foundation of policy of emancipation that shall
give freedom to three and half millos of men in
America"

Mr. HOUSE thinks the Democrats at fault in not
"glOrifying the Union" This suggests o striking
difference between the two opposing parties in this
country the Democrats would not give fig for
the Union without the Constitution and the equal
and just rights which it secures. The Opposition
nothing for the Constitution, 60 that they can
make clap-trsp out of their meaningless cry of
"ihs Union" All Democrats love the UsiOn, be-
it is basad upon that organic law which makes
republican government, recognising the equal
ty of the States and the just rights of the people
What would such a Union be worth without this
Constitution? It would suit a monarchist as well
as a republican. It would be q shadow without
the substance. Let the Opposition eulOgise the
tttutiOn, join with the only true national party in
resisting the inrosds which abolitionism is seeking
70 make upon that instrument, and they will have
done something to perpetuafe the Union. 1t cannot
be perpetuated otherwise.

Watch sEm .

The Chattanooga Advertiser says that within the
last day or two it has received letters from various
counties in that Congressional district stating that
the Opposition don't care fig for NETHERLAND,
and that he will be swfuly sacrificed to gaiDa vote
for BRABsoN
We understand that the same use is sought to be
made of NETHERLAND by the Opposition in the fifth
Congressional district. They will swap him off if
possible to get votes for HATTON it is the only
possible means by which they can secure READr's
defeat.
In this district a similar effort will be made, no
doubt. They know that as things now stand, Me-
xEEs' election is certainty, if the Democrats but
do their duty. Hence their alarm and readiness
TO make any sacrifice to secure different result.
We cannot believe that they have the slightest
hope of NETHERLANDS election. He san serve
them no better purpose than to trade with the
view of increasing the chances of candidates for
COnress and the Legislature, in localities, that are
doubtful.
DEMOCRATS, BIZ ON YOUR GUARD. Waste no votes

aid He wants the full vote of hi friends, but none

The New Haven Register, il abiding to the new

SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 81, 1859.


me- EAet~@-A pkOS1Oms
The article from the New York Tribune which we
published on Thursday, has fallen like bomb shell
into the Opposition camp. 1t disolOses the most
cordial understanding between the Opposition in
Tennessee and the com handlers of the Black Repub-
hcan forces. II shows that the men whose fortunes
are at staks the of the Opposition in this
election stand high in the favor and confidence Of
the AbOlitiOnists It reveals the terms and cen
dtions which the masses Of the Opposition in
this STATE to be sold out 10 the enemies OF the
South for the political advancement of JOHN Bell
and his cOsojdt
We do not wonder that the premature explosion
Of the plot should startle the Opposition leaders
They know that the honest masses of the party can
not be ssdnoed into scheme by which the interests
and honor Of their section are to be 6artered away
for the selfish purposes of ambitions politicians and
place hunters The people of Tennessee will not
permit themselves to be marched off like slaves to
the Northern market and sold into bondage 10 the
Black Republicans that JOHN BELL may be made
President, or EMsRsoS ErHERIDGE Vice President,
orWILLIAN CULLoM again elected Clerk Of the House
Of Representatives by Black Republican votes.
We again call the attention Of true hearted men
of all parties to the article from the Tribune of Non
day last and ask them as patriots will they not rise
up in their strength and crush this infamous coali
ton to subdue and subjagate the South render
her subservient to the dominion of AbOlitOnism? We
ask the honest masses of the Opposition who have
no selfish objects Of their own to promote, whether
they will follow their leaders into the service of the
Black Republican party, and by supporting the
Opposition ticket in this election, gladden. the heart
of HORACE GREELEY with the assurance that re-
spectacle portion of the people of Tennessee are
willing to aid in els7sting the Black Republicans
to power?

There is portion of the Opposition Ere-pullers
who are perfsStly Inscriptions. There B nothing
to which they will not resort on the eve of an
election.
Therefore, Look out for SECRET CIRCULARS in
every portion of the State and for every conceiva
bic purpose.
Look out for ALL KINDS OF RUMoRs AND FALSE
REPORTS, gotten up to prejudice our Candidates in
particular localities. The only way to counterfeit
them promptly is to BRAND them with your denun-
citation, but such as ere false are kept back
until the eve of an election.
LOOK OUT FOR TRICKS. The Opposition is good
at tricks Its whole history has been trick. Its
movement is trick Without its tricks it would be
like gambler without his cards.

We take this last opportunity to say one word for
Col. Hatton. He is the regular nominee Of the OPP
position party for COngress.-Le6GnOa Herald
And worse thing could not have been said for
him. The people of the fifth Congressional district
are tired of this idle cry of Opposition" The
devil was an OppOsitiOnist and for it was kicked
over the battlements of Heaven. The enemies of
MARTIN LUTHER and of CALVIN were Opposition
lists. and had they succeeded would have checked
the onward march of civil and religious liberty.
CHARLES, the First, was an 0ppositiOnist and en-
desvored to prevent the establishment of free gov
ernment in America. The Iederalists were 0ppo-
sitionists and sought to check the spirit Of Demoe
raey which has ibsralized our Institutions extend
ed our territory, and made this happy country an
asylum for the down-trodden and oppressed of all
nations. The enemies to progress throughout the
world belong TO the grand army of the OPposi-
ton" 1t is made up Of Kings, aristoerats, Office
hunters, alarmists, and is st war with the genius
and spirit Of the age.

TIE FUSION GOES oN.-The Americans Of Ham
