BsF- We have eretofore stated, and proven il by
the record, that there has never been a concession
to the anti-slavery fanaticsm of the North, which
was not made by southern democracy and we prove,
to-day, by Black Republican authority, that the
southern democrats who endorse squatter sovereignty
and Neutrality-suspicious. multiplying the bred Scott
decision-go farther in practical hostility to the
South than the leading Republicans. In addition
to the evidence heretofore adduced we could furnish
extract upon extract from anti-slavery papers, of
the North, to show that the result of the Virginia
election is freesoil triumph, in their estimation
and that, as such, they exult over the defeat of
Goggin. Letcher is known all over the North as
the man who labored zealously to make free State
out of Western Virginia and as the canvass was
made mainly upon his ant-slavery record, slavery
considered, by the feesoilers the test question
and hence they claim anti-slavery triumph in
Virginia, achieved by southern democrats 1t is no
sufficient apology to say that the bulk of the vr-
ginia democrats are sound the slavery question,
when it is known that they voted for an anti-savery
man; for, doing this thing knowingly they have
given aid and comfort to the enemy. But see what
is said by Washington Correspondent of the N Y
Evening Post:
It may seem somewhat singular with you, but
believe the Republicans in Virginia hold the balance
of power between the two great parties to-day
This is the opinion of shrewd Virginia politician
There are thousands of Northern freemen already
in Virginia. In town not dozen miles from
Washington there are over fifty voters who came
from the North, and are Republicans in sentiment
They proposed a month ago voting for Goggin bu
his abuse of the Republicans lately disguised them
and they agreed in a body to stay away from the
polls. BY another gubernatorial election in Vir
/ ginia the Republicans in the State will make them
selves tell as power.

aeA The Union and American boasts that DR..
Menees voted against that portion Of the vagrant
act which authorized the hiring and whipping of
white men. Mcnstrous Did he dare to vote for
the repeal of any portion of law that was COM
piled by the best legal talent of the Stae2 In one
article, the organ excuses vote of DR.. Menees by
saying that the law had passed the ordeal of the
best legal talent and in the next lauds him for vo
ting for the repeal of a law that had passed the
same ordeal. Such shuiiing is childish.
But, to make the defense stronger, the Union and
american says nobody has been hurt by the vagrant
law. That is not the question. bad law may be
rendered null by the good sense of the people, still
that does not vindicate the man who voted for the
law, but only proves that the people have more
sense than he has. What we want is code that
bad men cannot a means of oppression and
it is the business of statesman to see that we have
such CODE DIR. Menees was asked to vote for the
repeal of the entire vagrant act but he thought
that it was sufficient to relieve the poor man from
the penalty of being whipped and hired out leaving
him at the mercy of an enemy, unless he carries in
his pocket pass from some magistrate permitting
him to come and go like negro.

Bag The Union and American betrays the weak
ness of its and the straits to which it is driven
when it attempts to fasten incncerity upon us for
condemning portion of the Code when the chief
agents in its compilation belong to the Opposition
Now when the sagacous organ informs us when
where, and by whom the compilors were vested with
legislative powers we will discuss the point with
it. Meigs and Cooper were not empowered to make
laws, but to digest and arrange them, and then
fer them to the Legislature for its action. That
body re-enacted all the laws It did not repeal and
is responsible for any Objectionable ones as if they
had been passed for the first time. And if every
Opposition man in the State had aided in the COM
piliation of the Code, it would be no apology for
the vote of any democratic legislator for any of the
laws thus passed in review before him. This is the
smallest of all small lodges, and the must have
little sense who can not distinguish between the
compiler and the maker of laws. Try again. gentle
men, and perhaps you can make Dick Cheatham, as
Clerk of the House. responsible for acts that passed
through his hands-he surely had much To do
with law-making as Meigs and Cooper, or
the Opposition Committee that passed upon the
aithfulness of their labOrs.

p6S- We learn that Gov. Harris has at length
declared himself the hardest Of hard money men,
This is just what we expected, and we ask the peo
pie to remember that along the course of the Cum
berand and Mississippi, where commerce Aourishes,
he studously concealed his opinions the subject
of the currency, lest he might lose votes amongst
those of his party who repudiate the hard money
humbug. But now that he is going into the agri-
cultural districts he throws of the mask and pan
ders to the prejudices Of the unenghtened against
banks and in favor of gold and silver. He fatters
himself that the people he is hereafter to address
belong to the adamphooI" family; but we hope he
will find them too honest TO support who
wears too faces-one for the commercial and the
other for the agricultural districts At Nashville
GAINESVILLE, Memphis, and the points intermediate
COL Netherland pressed him to say, in plain, direct
terms whether he was for against an exclusively
hard money currency but failed to bring him to
the point change in the direction of his travel,
however, has made him wondrous bold, and he now
declares himself for hard money. Why did Gov.
Harris refuse to declare himself before? The rea-
son is obvous-he for his election to of
flee than for the interests of the people, or the re-
qurements of fair dealing; and hence his resolve to
cheat the people into his support. As general rule
democrats are not freemen and stand in awe of the
party lash in the hands of their masters but all are
not of this servile CASTE and cannot believe that
the manly and intelligent Of the party will uphold
the man who fears to speak his honest sentiments
on every foot of Tennessee soil. Look at Colonel
Netherlandl Has he two sets of opinions on any
question? Does he withhold one
place. because they may not be popular, and uttei
them only where he believes they are2 Not BIZ
of it, He is the same evcrywk ere, and would scorr
the slightest semblance Of duplicity, though il
would insure his election. He is not making thu
race for John Netherland but in behalf of the hes
interests of Tennessee, and in support of poltica
justice. He is Tennessean, not selfish partisan
and whether success or defeat await him, it must b
upon principle, not upon his skill in lodging issues
and cheating the people. This is the difference IL
the two men-choose We between them.

EeSS~ As the democratic leaders of Tennessee win
not let slavery rest we hope they will pardon us for
occupying so much of space with proofs of their
unsoundness on that subject, and their consequent
treason to the South. Hear what the Boston
Liberator-Garrison organ-says of the late Vir-
ginia election-which is claimed as an abolition
victory in the South:
from the Boston Liberator May 30, 1851
ABOLITION VICTORY IN THE SoUTH-The telegraph
informs us of the election of Virginia Aboitionst
to the Office of chief magistrate of the Old Domin-
We were not prepared for such cheering news
His majority may be small, but we have abundant
cause to rejoice that saveocracy is on the wane in
Virginia. and that so large a portion of her people
is mbued with the principles of the early, and best,
and purcst statesmen. The Governor elect lives
among the Scotch-Irish, in the heart of the State,
and was the ardent advocate, a few years ago, of
the abolition of slavery in Western Virginia.
But as the Liberator is an abolition sheet and its
authority may be questioned, see what the N Y.
Evening Post--simon pure democrat-says on the
same subject
[From the n. Y. Evening Post, May 80, 1881
1t fills us with Joy to report the election of De-
mocratc Free Soer to the important office of Gov
ernor of Virginia 1t justifes the policy we have
sustained of refusing to join the Aboltionists in
invading the institutions OF the Southern States
With no agency of ours the black wave is recedng
to the South. Mr. Letcher was an advocate of
emancipation in Western Virginia some ten or twelve
years ago and though driven by apparent policy to
palter to Eastern Virginia it is well known that he
cherishes his earlier opinions and will be encourage
ed by his election to resume them at an appropriate
season. His Democratic Free Soil brcathem at the
North hail this victory with uualloyed pleasure.
The Post rejoices in 'the election of democratic
freesoiler to the important Office of Governor of
Virginia" and is glad that he did not join the abo-
tionists now that he sees "the black wave receding
to the South without his agency The democrats
of Virginia are doing for the abotionsts what
they have so long labored TO effect and by their
action have given joy and hope to the enemies OF
the South. Should Magofin carry Kentucky, will
not the same glad shouts be heard again in the free
soil ranks His position is little better than that
of Letcher and every democrat who endorses
squatter sovereignty and denies to the southcnor in
the Territories, the protection of Congress is an
ally of the Black Republicans, and is so considered
by the whole ant-slavery party in the North. II
gives us no pleasure to say these things, but they
are true, and the people ought to know it.
