n61- 1t is being very common with democratic
and Republican organs 20 insist tina, the safety Of the
Union depends upon there being no third party and
their appeals to the Opposition to rally to the one
or the other standard are growing pathetic. II
their own Disregard OF principle they forget tIat
the Opposition have sacred duty to perform one
Chat is due alike to their country and eit consci-
cnces. 4 choice of evils may be admissible in some
cases but inths the true merit consists in discard
ing both evils, aud in striving for the right. N,
man who honestly believes that democracy and Re-
publicanism are equally dangerous, can consent to
choose between them, 90 long, at least as il is pos
sibie to organize third, and conservative party.
The question is not one Of success but Of a consci-
er Gus discharge Of Guiy. There is wide differ
ence between couniving at the escape Of thief and
failure To arresthim after an honest etfott and in
this category the Opposition now stand. They can
not with clear consciences connve at-aid directly
or By cupahle inacton, the election ola Republican
or democratic President believing either would be
curse to the country and if their appeals to the
patriotism Of the to unite with them in the
defeat or both Of those parties prove unavailing,
they will have done their duty and can say no mat
ter what catastrophe follows the failure,--we have
not done it, Were the democracy true to the Union
and opposed to sectional agitation then the 0pposi-
ton would be bound by every potriotic considera-
ton to disregard minor questions Of difference and
aid them to defeat the Republicans. But the demo-
Gratis are not true to the Union or the South, and
not only the authors of the sectional agtatiouf
but have shown determined purpose to keep it up,
at whatever risk, and with no higher motive than
the love of the spoils These facts place them on
perfect level with the Republicans and preclude the
possibility OF their enistng the support of honest
and conservative men. If there were two candi-
dates for a county Office and both notorious scoun-
drels, would the people of Montgomery feel that they
had done their duty in choosing between them?
We think not and in such a case, the honest citi-
zens would nominate third transforming to vote
for either CT the two the ground that he was moi
quite 80 great scoundrel as the other Extend this
Illustration 10 the whole Union end it clearly de-
fines the position and the duty Of the Opposition in
reference to the candidates of the democratic ant

pa-In M article, which we have hurredly re


Das-In M article, which we have hurriedly re-
viewed, the Je6erSoHidn makes this explicit avowal :
"That it is the duty Of Congress to protect the
STAKEHOLDER in the territories, we do not entertain
doubt"
In another article, in the same paper, he says:
"Thc Chronicle may rest assured that no man who
does not regard the rights of the South respect and
recognize the validity of the bred Scott decision.
anrtrepudiate the doctrine recently preached by
the Chronicle, Of the po,oer Of Congress TO egsJGte
for The territories, can get the nomination of the
Charleston Convention"
Put the words italicised by us alongside of the
first quotation and mark the contradiction. Con-
gress has the right oprotect the STAKEHOLDER in the
territories but has no right ''to legslate for the
territories Now we ask our neighbor to tell us
how Congress can afford such protection without
egisang If they repeal the territorial laws, that
is legislation if it decide 10 send an armed force
into the territories that is legisang and no matter
what action it may take with a view to protection,
that action must necessarily be legislative Then
we ask again, how can Congress protect the slave
holder without lcgslating for the territories? And
how can the Ieffersonian reconcile its two opposite
POSITIONS the subject, and taken in the same
issue?

escape the attention of onr neighbor. We are anx-
ious to have the question Observation-Disclosures Ban

see expressed preference for Andrew johnson as
It's first choice for President. The Nashville Union
and 1nerieo the central organ of the party in tha.
State, while it advocates with saarked ability, the
claims of Mr.. johnson for the Presidency denounccs

because of his squatter sovereignty doctrines. How
can the Union and AmericGn reject Mr. Douglas on
account of his squatcr sovereignty heresy and the
same time support Mr.. Johnson the advocate of the
Homestead Bill? We should like to have this ques-
ton answered Ivy the Uition ard AmeJ4can, if it is
not too much Gngaged in abusing Mr.. Bell Mr.. Crit
tender, and other Southern men, because of their
unsouuluess on the slavery questson. We submit
the Democracy Of Tennessee that the great advo-
cate of this Back Republican meaSure--ths ''nsds-
IRE fl, freedoa, is not the for the South in TIE
present emergency. No, we would just as soon
support Stephen a. Douglas for President with all
his double distilled, traitorous squater sovereignty
hercsics, to support Andrew Johnson, of Tennes-
see, arrayed in the habilimens of his Black Repub-
lCau measure for freedom.

serve the Union.

departing from party usages aud interloping new
rules
Mr.. .Wigfall held that the people of territory

troduced.
