Chicago and New Hampshire, the pfopnetlc
and oracuiar soul of the Union is pailed in
gloom as dark as the dunnest smoke of
tar-kiln. In that result it sees the ultimate
downfall OF the Northern Democracy and the
full fedged supremacy of Republicanism as
distinctly as you may see Edg, field from the
top Of the State Capitol. or be MONDAY sun
from the centre of Broad Street. The raid OF
JsHS Brown, says the UniOn, struck terrier TO
the soul of every patriot. In this the Union
is mistaken. There is one patriot to whose
lofty soul, iron-ribbed and copper-bOttomed,
no raid may strike terror. We refer to the
Nashville Daily Patriot. including the tri-
weekly and weekly. Neither shadows nor
the substances of twenty men all armed in
pixies and led by shallow BRowN, can shake
the strong ner, es of this establishment.
whose facilities for doing all kinds of job
work. from the most delicate card to the lar
gest size poster, are unsurpassed by any other
in the city. The Patriot wept over the folly
of JOHN BEowS and laughed over that of Gov.
WISE, for the one was a calamity to the South
and the other a comic almanac TO the whole
country; but it felt no terror. Had it been
a citizen OF Harpei's Ferry when the raid
broke out, it might have been scared. 1t il
likely it would for there's nothing soothing
to the nerves in having ones door battered
in with the but-end of a musket and ones
ribs punched into with sharp pointed pike.
But il was Mt citizen of Ilarper's Ferry.
and cons, quenuy was MT afraid, neither for
its own safety nor for the safety of the coun-
try. Every man at the North is not WEN
DELL PHILLIPS, nor is every woman LYDIA
MARIA CHILDs. These have a few wild-eyed
and pae-lipped followers, to whom the lire
pressible Conflict is Holy War, and whose
ignobIe rage against the South will end but
with their miserable lives; but il the South
ern people will hush talking about terror"
and all that sort of thing, and just let the
poor fools howl on unnOticed, their bowling
will neither destroy the cotton crops nor
break up the Union.
The NeUs learns from the Augusta C6nsti-
t,dionalist that there was MT much harmony"
id the late Democratic State Convention of
Georgia. There was time when the Demo-
cratic party could justly boast Of its char
mony'-when it would have been as difficult
To find Earring element in one of their con-
vcniions as il would he for a colored fifer at
a country muster To detect discordant note
in the fddling of OLE BULL. But that time
is passed. The spirit of discOrd seems TO have
invaded the sanctuary of Democracy, where
fl,a NJ harm sat aA
and to have seized the crown aad scepIre
with grasp as inficxibIe as that with which
grim death is popularity supposed - hold a
deceased African. Divide aud conquer was
the maxim of one who always conquered.
From the nettIe division. which the Demo-
cratic party is now rearing in its own ranks,
it is to BE- hoped the Opposition will pluck
the flower of victory.
We find in the Baaner a card from THos
w. BEAUMONT. Esq, announcing his with
drawaI from that paper as one of the editors.
We very much regret to see him sever his
connection with the press Of Nashville, of
which he was one of The highest ornaments.
Within the two years of bis editorial career,
he won proudrr position as a politician
and u writer than many others under similar
circumstances achieve in lifetime. But
witk his fine scholarly requirements flor he
possesses a miEd richly stored with the
treasures of learning) he is calculated to
adorn any station, and TO win success in any
calling; and hence lie is not to be blamed for
abandoning a career which, though opening
as brilliantly as his heart could wish, in-
wolves an amount of labor that would finally
break down and wiiher the strength OF a
Hercules. To be a successful editor is to
be- the slave of unending toll. In casting off
tie sbackles of that slavery and asserting
his freedom. Mr.. BEAUMONT has but done
what many Of us would be glad to do. Ii.
h. WALKER. E-q-. is now sole editor of the
political department of the Banner. He is a
niIcinan. everybody knows, of superior
abilities. Of great energy, aud much expert
cncc as an editor, and under his exclusive
control, the Banner will continue to be, as
it has ever been, one Of the most ably con-
Quoted papers in the Southwest.
