The Opposition In Tenne ssee'

1t would appear says, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, from the following ex.
tract which We make from the ed
itorial correspondence Of the Ashta-
bula Sentinel Joshua r. Gidding's
paper-that the game Of the Oppo-
sition in Tennessee 10 not to make
an open alliance With the opposition
of the North, but to run candidate
Of their own as better way of defeat
ing the Democracy. In the event
of a Republican being elected, the
Opposition South "ill cooperate with
the Administration and share il its
Offices. 1t also intimates that there
are grsa. numbers Of the Opposition
in Tennessee who, il they had
chance, would be Republicans. Here
il what the editor says:
A gentleman Who devotes much
time to this subject and has recent
IL visited Tennessee, tells me that
the Opposition of that State cnter-
.ain very friendly disposition toward
the Republicans; inasmuoh as they
cannot form any alliance witE US,
they propose themselves to run an
Opposition candidate Of their own
for President John Bell, for in
stance without reference to the
Republican candidate, or seeking
any union with US. They think
they can maintain their organization
10 this way better, and contribute
mors to tho defeat Of the Democracy
than by any other means; while in
the event Of the electing of Repub.
lican President, they will form con-
servative party in the South, dispo.
sed to cooperate with the Admins
tratisn to conduct the Government.
Our friend says, if they we're in a
different locality great numbers Of
these Opposition men would be Repub-
licsns at once. He regards them az
the basis of an emancipation party

key under an execution. directed
to him as Constable ex-olicio Of this
beat. The Code directs that prop
erty levied on, shall be sold in the
beat where the judgment is obtained.
The Legislature at its late session
declares that whiskey shall not be
sold within three miles Of Athens.
Now what is the Constable to do?
We say return ''no property found =
because the Legislature by their act
have virtually taken away all the
essentials of whiskey as property,
by prohibiting the sale of it within
three miles of Athens. A thing to
be property must have value-and
the estimate Of the value of that
thing, is what it brings when exposed
to sale. But wbiskey will not bring
anything within three miles Of Ath-
ems because every body is prohibited
from its traffic. Hence it has no
saleable value and is not property

REACTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA In
South Carolina an initiatory move
ment has already been made TO secure
O representation in the National Con-
vention, and since this movement is
in direct opposition to the policy of
the UItraists, it is apparent that the
delegation from that State will be
among the most conservative in that
body. A call has recently been pub
Iisbed, 10 accordance with this plan,
for q State convention to meet at
Columbia on the 10th Of April, for
the purpose Of selecting delegates to
Charleston; and district or country
meetings are being held ,p appoint
delegates to Columbia. At one Of
these meetings the following resolu.
ton was adopted:
Resolued, That, in the opinion OF
this meeting, it is right and proper
that the State Of South Carolina
should be represented 10 the Charles
ton Convention, which assemblies on
the Esd Of April next, for the purpose
oe nominating candidates Tor Pres
i,lsnt and Vice President Of the

My DEAR SIR:
Our companionship in the Senate

most important session, you are
about to return 10 your home; and |
shall try to find leisure to visit mine.
i hope We may meet each ether
sgain, two months hence, for the

spec,ivs stations in the government.
But life is uncertain; and ! have rot
felt willing to take leave of you. with
out placing in your hands note,
containing few words which / wish
to say to You.
In the earlier part Of our acquain.
tance, my Dear Sir, occurrences took
place, which l remember With con-
stantly increasing regret and pain;
because, the more / have known o.
you,the greater have been my esteem
for your character. and my respect fol
your talents. But it is yournoble, man.
ly and patriotic conduct, in support
of the great measures Of this session
which has entirely won my heart, and
se0red my highest regard. ! hope
you may live long to serve your coun
TRY; but l do not tbiuk you are evol
likely 10 see a crisis,in which you may
be able to DO so much, either for youl
own distinction, or for the public
good. You have stood where other'
have fallen; you have advanced will
firm and manly steps where Others
!. have wavered, faltered and faller
back: and for one, desire to THANH
you and to commend your conduct
out Of the fitness Of an homes
heart.
This letter needs no reply; It is
/ am aware, Of very little value; bu
l have thought you might be willing
to-xeseive il, and perhaps to leave il
where it would be seen by those who
come after you.
