aee--It is Not u DisuniOn Paper.

We do not know what exactly, is the general re-
mutation of the Nashville Patriot " for truth and
veracity :" but we certain that few misrepre-
sensations of its contemporaries, contained in
ths following extract from of its recent elitori
al articles will place it whore its credIbility
can be successfully impeached:
1.-THE Mai gives us sententions advice how to dis
solve the Union. 1t tells US 10 run three candidates
in opposition to the Republicans and that will insure
Lncons election, and that will insure dissolution.
It tells us to provide for the consequences by refus
ing to pay our debts to Northern people-keep DER
money at home and bring on money panics and inan-
cia cries among our enemies, and then will have
them in such iutter of fear, they can do nothing
The reader will perhaps be little astOnished,
when we say that nearly every important allegation
in the foregong-which forms the text of the edIto
rial discourse of the Patriots utterly unjustied
by any thing published in the Nail and in direct
tagonism with the sentiments of those who conduct
it.
Some days since, in view of the unfavorabe news
in regard to the efforts of fusion in New York, we
spoke of the probable election of Lincoln and we
remarked that if such an event happened and sever
al Southern States seeded therefor-as we believed
and hoped they would-our merchants we be COM
PEELED by the exigencies Of their States, take
an extension of year at least on the Northern in
debteness
We never offered "advice as to how to desolve
the Union" We never advised the running of
three candidates, to insure the election of Lincoln
on TIE contrary, we Wdrneu OOuSidS anu Dell
men, months ago, that by their running their candi
dates who had little, any hopes, in the South they
were aiding the election of Lincoln. We told them
their keeping in the field their candidates would
produce this result-a result which we all depre
cate And we are constrained TO believe that the
editors of the Patriot knew that they were grossly
misrepresenting us, when the charged the opposite
At all times of the campaign. we have talked,
prayed and worked against the election of Lincoln.
We do not desire dsunion. We deprecate it-al-
though we hold it far preferable to submission to
Lincoln. Much as are opposed to the Bell party,
we would infinitely prefer its success-perhaps,
even that of Douglas-to the election of Lincoln.
This, for State Rights men, is saying great deal
nevertheless, it is true and nothing in past
cord contradcts it. In representing us desiring.
disunon as advising how it can be brought about ;
and as expressing wish for financial crisis in the
North-n all this, the Patriot does us the greatest
injustice and its consciousness of the fact is shown
by its failing to publish such of our articles as it
claims warrants its conclusions.
We beg our friends of the Breckenridge press, in
Tennessee to republish this denial of the false
and unwarranted charges of the Nashville Patriot.

Owing to the strength of the wind. the greatest

EDITOR NATIONAL AMERICAN-Dedr Sir: As a long
personal and political friend of yours and of pa
per that l have reserved out of all that receive,
as a family paper, to be read by my wife and my
children permit me to make you suggestion. and
that is that public Journal should elevate itself
above falsehood and assert that which it does
not know to be true; and if it does, let it be with
such qualifications as will fully excuse it, provided
its mistake should be afterwards discovered. The
morals and dignity of the Press ought to be well
guarded.
see in your issue of the 18th instant an editorial
headed: breckenridge gives it up" in which you
make or attempt to make the impression that in his
speech the 5th, he gave up his election and then
profess to copy from his speech, which you fail
terially to do. l will not say it wilful per-
version, for suppose you must have copied it from
report other than his published speech. Ihave
read his speech very carefully and there is nothing
in it from which such conclusion could properly
have been inferred. hope you will correct it.
may vote for Mr.. Bell but do not want to do so by
being mised to the position of any of his adver-
saries. We ought not to misrepresent them. Ihaye
read Mr.. Breckinridge's speech, and must confess
that have no answer to make to it. If he does not
occupy the position which we have been occupying
down to the present time, l have been mistaken in
our positions If you have reply to it should be
pleased 10 see it. Yours, truly

Nc PresidentiaI election axe plaee on Tuesday

The Presidential election takes place on Tuesday,
the Sth of November.
The law fixes it for the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. 1t is, therefore, always on
the first Tuesday, except when the month common
ences on Tuesday. 1t then takes place on Tuesday,
the eighth.
The reasons for this discrimination is that by law
the Electors must be appointed within thirty-fOur
days previous to the first Wednesday in December
Between the first day of November and the first
Wednesday in Decembe;, there thirty-ive days.
The election must therefore be held later than the
lst 1t will be held on the first Tuesday, except
when Tuesday is the first day of the month which
will happen at the Presidential election of 1864.

THE UNBURIED DEAD OF SYRIA-Our Syrian cor
respondent writes that more than ten thousand hu-
man bodies still lie upon the sides of Mount Hermon
in full view of the sea of Galliee and the Medter-
ranean upon the plains of Sdon, the ancient Pheni-
cia blackening in the sum- and their blood still cries
out to heaven for vengeance. IL is Oriental
tom TO leave the murdered dead unburied until JUS
tce has been satisfied and although in Syria the eff
feet of the climate upon dead body requires its bu
rial within twenty-four hours of the departure Of
the spirit from its earthly tenement, these bodies
have remained unburied and in complete state of
preservation.
In the court yards of the palaces in the barracks
and wherever the Christian has fallen there lies the
body now still awaiting the Vengence of heaven up

PLANTATION of the physical causes which have pro-
duced this fnunBgcdOn it is sufficient to say that
the testimony of all confirms the statement Wolves

AR. BuRca :-PETER TuRNEr. Esq addressed the
people Of tits place and vicinity on yesterday. BE
spoke about two hours and half, and showed in 8
clear and mastery manner the perfect consistency
Of protection with the doctrine of non-intervention
showed up the inconsistency Of Mr.. DOUGLAS and
Gov. H. V. JOHNSON upon this all absorbing question,
and then poured perfect broadside into the Union
Shriekers.
He showed that Gen. JACKSON had approved of
the doctrine of protection and that Polk had esehew
ed the doctrine of squatter sovereignty He also
showed where the great body of the Representative
men ofthe democracy are now battling that the
democracy of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives almost to man were for BRECKENRIDGE and
LANE-that most of the representative men North
and South, men who have given tone and character
to our party, were now rallying around the banner
Of BRECKENRIDGE ard LANE; all this he did in the
most approved style, and in ecgent and powerful
climax he showed what it was the duty of DoUG-
Las men now to do and that they should sacrifice
their first love for the success and prosperity of
common democracy. Our friends were highly
pleased with Mr. Tuners effort. His opponents,
DOUGLAS and BELL men, many of them, spoke of it
as the master speech in this county this year. Suf
fee it to say it was great effort worthy of the
cause and worthy of the man. LINCOLN.

LoONEY, HAYNES and Polk were here on Saturday
last. LooNEY led off as PEYToN had for time re-
tired. LooNEY spoke about an hour and fifteen
minutes the Union and YANcEY and closed by tell
ing the people that it his intention to leave on
the cars for Memphis, therefore would not remain
to reply. HAYNES beat the field out of sight and
excited the Democracy to the highest pitch. Polk
and LoONEY were completely used up torn literally
in pieces HAYNES accepted the proposition of
BRTrTON and MALONE, Polk refused it indignantly.
When HAYNES submitted the proposition to the peo-
pie and told them he would accept it the crowd
dorsed it by cheer after cheer. At night HAYNES
was serenaded by gentlemen of both parties (BELL
and BRECKNRIDGE.) He was called out and made
handsome talk of half an hour to the large crowd
assembled. All is well in Henry. We will increase
