Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1860-02-10

TIE CRY PkEsS.-1he Union takes an ex-
tract from an article in the PATRIOT (the best
and most reliable political bible, as The Union
II we'll knows) and breaches from it a profound
= discourse ON Slavery in the Territories Be
tween this and the Fifth of March. at which
time the legislature are going to take US by
the hand and bid US fearful aiieu, we intend
TO procure a charter, without the individual
liability and repealability clauses, for a com
pany with large capital stock amounting
to, say. sixiy-two and half cents) fer the
purpose of going into the manufacture Of a
Sc tlement of this question OF Slavery or no
s avery in the Territories. This question is
a fruittui.sOurce of mischief to the country,
and it must be settled, aud be-hangcd to the
expense. 1t is, in the language OF a distin-
guishej statesman. "the young lady OF the
name OF Pandora box from which have
eprung half the evils which threaten "a dis
duplication of this glorious ked'ntry." The
Union mixes with its morning dish of politics
a small touch of scandal, or romance, or what
ever your superior judgment may determine it
TO be. MRS. ADAH Isaac MESKES," says tn e
Union, publishes letter in WILKES Spirh
Of the Times, in which she most pathetically
AYERS that she is the wife of HEESAS. The
cincinnati Coa,HaeTetaL publishes "A letter from
Mr.. M=NKEN TO the editor of Wilkes SPIRIT.
in which he says he was married to Mrs. NJ.
in Livingstone, Polk county, Texas, ON the
Sd of April, 1856, and that they never have
been divorced, though he entertains ardent
hopes that the legal bonds, which make them
twain one, will soon be discovered" Mrs.
ADAH now aud then writes poetry, as the
-readers of the PATRIOT have perceived Not
long ago she wrote. among other things, these
stwo very pretty lines:
.sw.y 80 e-rIy didst thou leave me,
In our heav grand lie Of love"
The Boston Poss takes it for granted that the
poem MAS addressed to '.the brayest man 10
the world,r and gives thus the reply of the
Benicia Boy:
ssADd assst thou why len thy lie
While yet the dawn flushed loves young dayi
All, well thy song born soul might gurss
Twas not my heart that strayei away.
OF seek not thou to call me back,
Nor melt my will with loving prayers
Twill soon b e O'er-I lefi the sweet,
The Mars runs into the wheel-house of
'"Ihe Free Negro Bill, which is to come up
for consideration in the Senate to day, where
we hope il will be knocked into cooked
hat. We have already expressed our opin-
. ion of this bill in the strongest language
large aud we'll selected stock of dictionaries
affords, or if We did Mt, we ought to have
done it, which is very nearly the same thing.
iconsidcring the fact that nothing We could
have said would have crushed the bill nor
helped to put il through. That is to say, il
would MT in the House. In the Senate it is
different. There cur influence is unbounded.
They know in that body that we regard the
bill as unconstitutional, not tosa ridiculous
and that we desire to see its throat cut from
ear to ear, and by 3 O'Clock to-day the deed
will have been done. Let the Senate thrust
its foot through the bill, and if the people of
Tennessee should attempt 10 make u fuss
sb ut it, let them be sent to US, and we'll
satisfy them that they are as wrong as posi-
BILE. Nature abhor- vacuum. Lii the free
b egroes from the State and you create a
yicuum, which Nature in her adherence will
I d up with a class Of white people. or a
GLASS of people that ale popularity supposed to
be white, who possess all the vices of the class
you have expelled aud none OF their virtues.
But we leave the matter in the hands of the
Senate; for we do not care TO be accused Ivy
