The Banner.-"The Position of the Yancey-
| ties Stated; is the subject of the leading ar
ticle in the Banner. Our neighbor again
| shows that leading Democrats in Tennessee
who denied in 1856 the right of Congression-
al Intervention have shifted around, rs polit-
/ zeal and other weather-eocks sometimes Will
| in a high wind. and are now out for that
| doctrine as strong as mule seventeen bands
| high. After handling the subject at some
| length. the Banner thus interrogates the Union
| will the Union and American tell US why, If
| this doctrine is right now, since the split In
| the Democratic party, it was not right tten?"
As our Breckenridge contemporary is very
busy Just now, and has MT got time to an
swer the question himself, we will have the
kindness to answer it for him. We shall
make eut no bill for the job; but if, when it
is done. our contemporary is pleased with 1t,
and will send Us down check for couple
ofhundreds of dollars as a slight compensation
for our trouble, we will write him down an
individual who is always willing to pay 9TH
ers for doing whatever it is incOnvenient TO
do himself The reason then is simply this
Before the split in the Democratic party (and
oh what split it was, my countrymenD
there was no doctrine of Congressional Inter
vention in the Democratic party at the South,
but since that split there as doctrine of that
sort in the Democratic party at the South,
and, as everybody knows,
Whatever is is right
Before that split the anti-Douglas Democracy
thought they could get along tolerably well
without that doctrine, but since the split they
found they had nothing else left them, and
as the best thing they could find, they put
their foot on it. Before the close OF the can
vass they will discover that they have also
put their foot an it. And now, if this answer
to the Banners very severe question is MT
worth the pitiful and contemplate sum OF
two hundred dollars to newspaper that evil
IDENTIFY has much more money than ammuni-
ton for this fight, it is MT worth red. AT
the head of an article from the Memphis Ap-
peal, the Banner places the announcement:
HAYWOOD SPEAKsw
This, without some explanation, is calculated
to create the impression abroad that our
young friend, Boz HAYWOOD, the second
edition of the Breckenridge Elector for this
District, has been making speech. Such is
not the case-he has made no speech. 1t is
generally understood, however, among those
who claim to be in his confidence, that it is
his intention to do, so at some future period
in the history of the canvass. Why he cher
ishes this Intentionally any Breckenridge
Elector should cherish such an Intention-we
do not know, unskilled as we are in many OF
the strange impulses that control human ac-
ton. AS no speaking that anybody can do
can possibly avail anything for the cause of
BRECKENRIDGE in this section, we would ad
wise Mr.. HAYwooD to enter notle prosequi in
the case, or simply fail to appear, and
let the judgment of the ballot-box go by de-
fault. When the Banner says Haywood
Speaks it merely means that the county of
that name has made a remark about some
thing or other.
The Union.-The interest of the late Maj.
f. G. EASTMAN in the Union and American has
been purchased by Messrs. LEON. TRoUsDALE,
late of the Memphis APpeal, and THOMAS S.
MARI, who for some years past has been con- |
neeted with the business department of the |
paper. Mr.. TEoUsDALE becomes one of the ]
editors. He has been connected with the |
newspaper press of Tennessee for about eight |
years, and enjoys fine reputation as po-
Iitical writer. Having always conducted his
paper in high-toned and gentlemanly spirit, |
nj
of whatever party. In con-
nection with our talented friends, Col. BURcH |
and Mr. DUNSINGToS, he will make the Union
md American an able paper, or as able as 1t |
can be made under the very discouraging cir
rumstanees which now surround it, in com
mon with all other papers advocating the
same shattered and sinking cause. We
heartily welcome Mr.. TRoUsDALE to Nash
vile and to the editorial corps of the city, |
and in a few days will send around CON-
missioner extraordinary with powers pleni-
potentiary to show him where all the best ju-
lips are to be had. as is the established Gus
tom of the country.
The Gdzette-The Gd-ette favors us with lit
tie If any editorial. With its selected matter.
though good of its kind, it is not profitable
for as to deal. Having no political cause to
our neighbor of the Gazette is to be
commended, rather than blamed, this hot
weather, for throwing aside his pen and re.
posing upon his laurels.
The Nash0iiie DemocTaf.-This is the title Of
the Douglas paper which made its frs. ap-
pearanee upon any stage in this city last Sat
lrday, somewhere between the honrs of 10
It is a rather handsome sheet,
and il to be printed daily and weekly-six
dollars for the Daily and two for the Weekly.
