The following is our latest date.
Hon, ANDY johnson.

We find the following among the reso-
lutions adopted at a recent democratic
meeting held in the City of Knoxville:
"Reso'red, That we have the utmost con-
fidence in the patriotism. ability, and
craftsmanship Of the Hon. Andrew John
son, and that his devotion to the Consti-
tuition and the zeal and deep interest he
has always manifested in guarding, pro-
tecting, and defending the rights of the
people, renders him the man in every re-
spect who should be placed at the head of
the government ut this peculiar and dam
gerotis crisis, and that we would rejoice to
see him receive the nominal on, as a can
didate for the Presidency, at the Charles
ton Convention"
1t is truly fortunate for the country
that the democratic party has such Il
large number Of men in its ranks so emf
nently qualified to take charge of the
government at this peculiar and danger
Gus crisis" While the fact sticks out so
palpably, surely there can be no necessity
for dissolving the Union.

Judge Douglas.

Thurlow Weed, of the Albany Evening
Journal, writes to his paper from Wash
ington as follows:
at is true, as reported, that Senator
Douglas has 'caved.' lie goes back. how
ever, without the true men who stood by
him in defending the right in the last
Congress. His desertion is felt kecnly by
the anti-Lecompton democrats of Penn
sylvania, and by the friends of Brodericll
and McKibbon, one of whom sacrificed
his life and the other his election for a
cause which Judge Douglas took up. and
has laid down, as men put on and draw off
their garments. Like Daniel S. Dickin-
son, of New York, the Illinois Senator
goes back to be strangled. Their heads
will go into bag and into the river, Just
as go the heads of rebel Pachas who of
fend the Sultan. There are no men more
truly and firmly fixed in their opposition
to the democracy, now and through the
war; than Messrs. Hickman and Swartz,
and Col. Forney, with their twenty thou
sand democratic friends in PENNSYLVANIA.
Indeed, the men who carried Buchanan
through Pennsylvania on their shoulders
in 1856, will now help to swell the ma
jorities in that State mountain high
against the Charleston nominee"
So, according to Thurlow, Mr.. Douglas
has returned to themeretricious embraces
of his first love. Better that, perhaps,
than the hybrid position he has been oc-
cupying for some time past.

Possibly there may, unless when the en-
element subsidies somewhat and better
state of feeling begins to manifest itself
in the other end of the Union, we, like
good christians, forgive and forget, and
fall into the old habit of looking North
for all our supplies.

BsJ~ The Nashville Union and american,
in noticing the speech of Mr.. Nelson up
on the Gilmer resolution, with charactis-
tic unlairness labors to make the impress
sion that that gentleman sympathises with
the Black Republicans. There is one
thing we never expect to see democratic
paper do, and that is, to give fair and
candid Interpretation to anything that
may be uttered by political opponent.
But eensure, dictated by party bile and
malevolence, only defiles and Injuries the
medium through which it is elected.

South CARoLINA.-The Charleston Mer-
curry suggests as the future coulse OF South
Carolina, the following:
Let us neither attempt to lead the
Southern States, nor declare that we will
follow them. South Carolina is sover-
eighty, and should simply take care of
herself. Let our Legislature pass no
more resolutions. Let it act, and pass
only resolutions of action. These may
be three Il. To arm the State. .. To
decline any caucus or convention with
any Northern State. 3. TO vote for no
candidate for the Presidency or Vice
Presidency who does not distinctly sup
port the rights of the South.
We see no form of action beyond these
three that it would be at once practical
and expedient to adopt We throw out
the above suggestions for what they are
worth

Congress-.

To our latest dates there had been no
organization Of the Houses On the 10th,
the opposition South placed themselves in
position to elect Speaker and organize
the House, with the aid of the democracy;
but the latter refused TO 90 TO them. On
that day Gilmer received thirty-six votes,
and Bocock lightweight. In addition to
his own party, Mr.. Gilmer received the
support of the democrats North who say
they can never vote for any man who sus-
tains the abuses Of the present admins
tration. The democrats of the House adj
nit that they cannot elect Mr.. Bocock, or
any other sound man of their party, even
with the aid of the entire South Ameri-
can vote; and yet they decline to vote for
true Southern man like Gilmer, whose
antecedents on tic question are undoubt-
ed, and whose soundness is backed by
his ownership of q hundred niggers.-
Their conduct will go far to convince all
candid minds that they prefer their party
to their country, and that most of their
noise and clamor about slavery is only for
party purposes. If Black Republican
is elected, the democratic party in Con-
gress will be responsible for the deed.
If there is no Speaker elected Congress
cannot adjourn over the holidays, as q
joint resolution is required to do so, and
that cannot be had without an organized
House with power to Pass laws. Neither
tho Senate nor House can adjourn more
than three days without the joint action
of both houses. This may be avoided by
pairing off, and leaving both houses with
out quorum.
The following is our latest date:
