COVOdeism.

friend asks US why it was that the Opposition
members of Congress, who are actively engaged in
circulating charges of shameless corruption against
the Administration, and who are endeavoring to ea-
ablish those charges by citations from the evidence
produced by CovOde did not impeaeh the President.
We only answer, that as good and faithful SER
wants, we presume they would have moved the i'm
parchment of the President if they had believed
one half that they trying to persuade the
people of Tennessee to believe. Imperative duty
requires that they should have impeached, if they
believe what they CHARGE and particularly as they
have they alege, in the Covode investigation con-
vincing proof of the charges they make Let the
people hold them to strict accountability for so
gross neglect of duty. No one but member of
the House of Representatives has any right to move
an impeachment, and the people have sent them to
protect their rights against the i'll deeds of corrupt
Administration. Why have they not discharged
their duty their constituents if they believe their
charges? Let them answer.

law protecting these constitutional rights in advance
of such violation. A necessity for this case may
never arise and presume never will it, as fondly
hope peace and quiet are again restored; and
would not legislate for remote contingency. And
while l would maintain with unwavering frmness.
all the constitutional rights of the South in relation
to slavery, believe that the further agitation of
that question tends to practical good to any Dor

cease both here and elsewhere; regarding the prln-

FROM BELL TO BRECKINRIDGE.-The Enfaua Express
has a notice of meeting in favor of Breckenridge
and Lane at Georgetown, Georgia, but few miles
from Enfaua. One of the speakers was the Hon. J.
L. Pugh, of this State. Of the other speaker, the
Express says: 1.-THE meeting was addressed by
Hon. C. A. Evans of Stewart county. in favor of
Breckenridge and Lane. Mr. Evans was an Opposi-
ton member Of the Georgia Legislature, and if we
are not mistaken delegate to the Bell Convention,
but finding Bell an unsafe man for the South, and
being dissatisfied with the platform upon which he
is running, he determined to support Breckenridge
and Lane the only reliable candidates in the field.
We were not present, but we learn from those who
were, that Mr.. Evans made telling speech, fully ex-
posing the duplicity and political trickery of John
Bell and his supporters. > Montgomery Advertiser,

TIE above paragraph is going the rounds of some

the head of its columns the names of BRECKENRIDGE

advocate of their elections. We believe that none

so since Saturday last.
