aeA- A ocofoco editor takes us to task for call
ing old Buck hard names. We plead guilty to the
fact and demand an acquttal on the ground that
he has earned all the names we have given him.
Without sufficient cause it is very wrong to apply
harsh language to so high an official. When Ar
mold returned from Canada, covered with wounds
and glory, and rich in the confidence ofhs country
to have hurled denuncations at his head, would
have been deemed almost criminal but when
Arnold fed from West Point covered with treason
and dishonor no terms of reproach were too bitter
because could depict the enormity of his crime
The Covode Committee has developed an amount
of corruption in the official conduct of old Buck to
make him as execrable Arnold, and thus depriv-
ed ofall claim to the respect of honest men, we in
tend to call him what we please, and often we
please.

BSIs- We are told that the opponents of the rail
road tax in Christian county citing GAINESVILLE
evidence of the injurious effects likely to fol-
low the building the Nashville and Henderson road
through that county. They say that trade is leav-
ing GAINESVILLE and that real estate has deprecated
twenty-five per cent under the influence of the
Memphis, GAINESVILLE and Louisville railroad. As
regards the first assertion, we would like for those
who make it TO tell us where the trade has gone
Not to Memphis because that end of the road is not
completed, aud there is nothing to carry it there
hut the river which has been here at least as long
~ the town. Not 10 Louisville, because that end
of the road is not finished aud the road via Nash
willie is performing such wonderful feat as taking
the trade from this place.
As il regards the second assertion, we can safely
say that real estate is one hundred per cent higher
than II was before the railroad was commenced and
according to population, is higher here than in any
town Of which We know anything. We make these
statements for the sole purpose Of correcting an
egregious error not 10 advocate the tax in Chris
tiau county. With that we have nothing TO do,
bnt it is not right that its opponents should wage
their war against il upon false issues.

BzSs~ There will be no division among rs in the
struggle which may follow close on the heels Of the
Presidential electlon.-~that which would require
cartrdgc-boxes and camp kettles.---Jfoagcmery
(Aia.) ABJ
Not 80 fast, Mr. Hooper We must know your
Whereabouts before we endorse such position. II
yea are supporting Breckenridge to elect Lincoln,
and then propose to seize upon his election as pre-
text for resorting to "cartridge-boxes and camp
kettles, we say 10 you that you can play no such
game. There are hundreds Of thousands Of sound
Union men in the South, as ready as yourself to
shoulder arms in defence of our rights when MOTH
ing short of force protect them; but they will
not suffer you and Yancey and the other madcaps
who back you to elect Lincoln and then dissolve
the Union because he is elected. No, sir you are
slightly mistaken in your reckoning we advise you
to try to save the Union by electing men who love
it, and are as true--aye, more trueto the rights Of
the South any clustering dsunionist who is labor
ing to elect Lincoln that he may have pretext for
the consummation of n scheme too dabolical 10 be
ofhuman orgin.-"C boxes and camp ket-
tles' readily suggest themselves to Ere caters as
admirable substitutes for reason and patriotism in
the adjustment of every difficulty; but there are
millions, in the South who are not fire-catcrs, and
who wH try what virtue there is in wisdom and
justice ere they resort to which good men al
ways deprecate, and sensible ones never employ
until all others fail lis horrid enough to conten-
plate civil war as absolute necessity that COM
mon sense and public virtue cannot obviate; but
deliberately TO plan ito chalk out the course Of
policy which is to bring it on when honorable
means at hand to avert it, is an atrocity more
characteristic of demon than a man. This is the
sentiment of fourfths of the voters of the South
and though portion of these, through the force of
party prejudice, are being entrapped into move
ment tending to this end there is still majority
sufficiently large to successfully defy the machina-
tons of Yancey and consgn to POLITICAL death the
ambitious tools with which he seeks TO sever the
Union, manufacture 'cartridge-boxes," and scour
fcamp kettles"

EsS" Breckenridge is stumping it, on his way
home, in advocacy of himself; Joe Lane is stump
ing it in N. Carolina, Douglas is doing the same in
New York. and johnson in Georgia, whilst Bell and
Everett, like high-oned gentlemen and enlightened
statesmen, are at home attending to their private
affairs. The contrast speaks volumes in their favor
whilst it ought bring down public indignation upon
the INSCRIPTIONS demagogues who degrade the
offices they seek by the manner in which they seek
them.

CONCESSIONS OF 0PPoNENTs-The Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer telegraphs
as follows:
"Somc of the leading men of the Republicans
now here admit the weakness of their candidates
and say they regret their party did not nominate Bell
and EUereu instead of Lincoln and Hamln. Shrewd
politicians of all parties unite in the opinion that
whoever may he President on the 4th of next March,

pss~ The New Albany Tribune says that John
Bell voted for the repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise. When was that vote given, friend Hancock?
aboltionist because of his able and prophetic
speech and his vote against the Kansas-N ebraska
bill, and now it seems, he is denounced, at the
North, as slavery propagandist upon the plea that
he voted for that bill which repealed the Missouri
Compromise. If he voted both for and against the
repeal we have not seen the record.

BkS- The Je6ersonidn charges that it is the policy
Of the Union party to make it appear that Douglas
is strong in the South in order to weaken Breckin-
ridge in the North and by dividing the democratic
party, TO elect Bell and Everett. To say nothing
of the designs of the Union party we would like
for our neighbor to tell whether the Appeal the
Louisville Democrat the ST. Louis Republican, and
many other democratic papers in the South, are
trying to divide the party that Bell and Everett
may triumph? They say that they belong to the
national democracy and are combating treason and
disunion headed by Breckenridge and Yancey--ex-
cuse us for putting the cart before the horse-and
that the party is defeated it viii be through the
agency of foul conspirators against its integrity
said consprators claiming to belong to the very
party they are seeking to destroy. With such
authority to sustain us we surely are not to blame
for contending that Breckenridge is weak and that
as the mere tool of Yancey, he ought to be beaten
II there is any higher authority than the Executive
Committee of the National democratic party, and
such organs just referred to- would like to know
where it is to be found outside of the pale of true
nationality, and il is upon this authority we rely
for correct information of the strength and purposes
of Breckenridge Strike at this authority neigh
Dor, and when you have oyerthrown it, it will then
be time enough to bring your guns to bear upon
the Union party. As long we are shielded by
that authority, we are invunerable, and when that
is demolished the Union party will still occupy
the impregnable fortress of truth and justice and
may defy all assaults that come not from within
AS has lust happened To democracy United We
stand, divided, you fall.
