between the Ncapolitnn troops and small number

The Present.

IN times like the present it is perhaps best for US
all to keep cool and utter no sentiment which may
be calculated to stir up any further animosities
among tie men Of the South. Let neither say
nor do anything hastily that viii commit US to a
policy to which nothing but false pride Of opinion
could hereafter induce to adhere. The old mariner
who has rode triumphantly through a thousand
storms viii advise you that the best course for you
to pursue when the tempest strikes you is to keep
cool and watch closely compass and chart. So we
say to our friends everywhere, consult the compass
and chart that guided your fathers, There Is no
necessity for any new, crude, hastily formed opin.
ions. 1t it with this view that we publish to-day
the celebrated Kentucky and Virginia resolutions
The fourth part Of the fifth resolution Of the Gin
cinnati platform is as follows:
ResolreF. chat the Democratic party will faith
fully abide by and uphold the principles laid down
in the kentucky and Virginia resolutions Of iI9o
and in the report Of Mr. Madison TO the Virginia
legislature In 1893: that it adopts those principles
as constituting one OF the main foundations Of its
political creed and is resolved to carry them out II
their obvious meaning and import"
The above. incorporated into the Cincinnati Plat
form, is the Sth resolution Of the Democratic plat
form adopted at Baltimore in 1852 1t was reaf
firmed at Baltimore in June last by the endorsement
Of the Cincinnati platform both by the Democracy
and the DouGIAs men. Mr.. DOUGLAS and his friends
have proessed to be the especial guardians Of the
Cincinnati Platform as q matter Of course they VIII

Davidson County.

We have at length succeeded in obtaining the full
vote of this county. 1t is, BELL $751; BEEckNRIDGE
2,43I, DouGLAsl 3s3 BELLS vote is 40 greater
than that Of BRECKNRDGE. The vote for President
in 1856 was. FILLMORE 3 256, BUCHANAN 2.O74-FHI-
NORRIS majority ,IS4. The vote for Governor last
wear was NEruERIAND (O) 3,+63, HAERIs (Dem)
NETHERLANDS majority I05l. BELL plural
ity over BREcKISRIDGE is 36S more than NEITHER
LANDS majority over HARRIS, which lacks II votes
of being as many as DOUGLAS received. In other
words BELLS gain over BRECDNRIDGE is II less than
the DovGIAs vote. BELLS gain over the FILLMORE
majority is 236 or ~ less than the DOUGLAs vote.
The total vote of the county this year is 6GG5 Last
wear the total vote was $3.50. Increase in the vote
$50 II viii thus be seen that Mr.. Bell has not
gained as much as DOUGLAS received, and in proper
tou TO the increase of the vote he has lost over 10
votes in the county. The Democracy Of Nashville
and Davidson county made glorious fight Moth

could have so wei resisted the almost superhuman

FoUNp HIS MATCH-We saw a good thing yester-
dav. In the Court of Quarter Sessions petty case
was being tried. A well known criminal lawyer,
who brides himself upon his skill in crossexaminng
a witness had an odd-oOking genius upon whom to
operate. The witness was boss shoemaker.
"You say, sir, that the prisoner is thief"
Yes sir, cause why, she confessed II"
And YOU also swear she bound shoes for you
subsequent to the confession"
Il DO, sir
"Then''-giving sagacious look to the Court,
we are TO understand that you employ dishonest
persons to work for you, after their rascaties
are known
"Of course; how else could get assistance from
a lawycr?n
The counsellor said 'stand aside and in a tone
which showed that if he had the witness head in a
bark mill. no mercy might have been expected. The
judge nearly checked himself in futile endeavor IN
make the spectators believe that laugh was moth
ing but hiccough while the witness stepped off
the stand with all the gravity of fashionable un-
deptakeP.
