VIZ. IFntes, of NIIssourt.

IvINs of the Athens Post, it seems is not willing
under any circumstances, to accept Mr. BATES, Of
Missouri as the Opposition candidate for the Presi
deucy In stating his objections to Mr.. BATES, he
says:
Mr. Bates of Missouri Is not the man under any
circumstances and his nomination at Baltimore and
endorsement at Chicago, wouldn't begin to pay.
Douglas would beat him to death in the Northwest,
and carry the united South without hardly effort.
If the great National Union Conservative movement
is to eliminate in the nomination of Mr. Bates look
ing to an endorsement at Chicago. it will eventuate
in something less than respectable tizzle. Mr..
Bates, on his own record and antecedents, might
make a respectable showing in several States Mr..
Bates. with the tChicagO Convention on his back,
could not start electoral ticket in one-third of the
South But we presume we are in no danger of any
such contingency as some Of our Democratic cOtem-
poraries pretend to dread Mr.. Bates viii stand but
slim chance at Baltimore and still less at Chicago.

Democratic National COnventiOns---Ex-
tracts from Letter of General Jack
EDITORS OF THE PosT In your paper of the 10TH
you stale the fact that the Democratic members of
| the New Hampshire Legislature. in 1922 made the
formal proposition for the first National Convention
which was held at Baltimore, and dominated An
drew Sackson for the Presidency. now have in
| my possession letter written by General Jackson
to gentleman of that State October 81, 1859. in
which he proposed that New Hampshire should
again call the National Convention of 1870 and ad
vocated the nomination Of Colonel Polk to the Vice
Presidency The following is an extract:
You have. nO dou6t seen that the people of Ten
nessee and elsewhere have taken up Colonel Polk
the candidate for Nice-President / have no doubt
that. if nominated by National Convention, he will
be the strongest candidate now presented to the
people But all others being worthy men of high
standing it would jeOpardise the Republican cause
to have more than one Republican candidate, and
this only be done by National Convention
New Hampshire Is the State, in my opinion that
ought 20 propose 1t in May next She will be fol-
lowed by every State in the Union and the one re
commended will be sustained by every Republican
State. From the signs Of the times, it would APP
pear that Colonel Polk is the strongest although
others stand high in public estimation, and all will
yield to the Convention"
In another part of the same letter General Jack
son wrote:
4 have not. although afflicted and confined by
sickness. been an unattentiye observer since we
parted at Washington, to the political troubles with
which YOU have been surrounded and had to con-
tend in your State. never doubted that, to the
end the virtue Of the sovereign people the real bone
and sinew Of our country would triumph well in
your State as in the United States, and have
the pleasure to tender my sincere COngratulatOn on
this happy result Tennessee is herself again. She
stands proudly amidst the great Republican fold,
from which 1 trust she never will permit herself
again to be dcluded by designing, ambitious dema-
gogucs and base apostates She was always truly
Republican, and only carried astray by the
] fidenCe the people had in Judge --, who. blind
ed by ambition. apostatized from his Republican
principles. ard became a tool in the hands Of that
superative q. But Colonel Polk, by his fear
less energy, has awakened the people from their de-
fusion, and they again restored to the Republi-
can ranks. Their anathemas have consigned these
traitors to the Democratic cause to that doom which
awaits all traitors. You may rest assured that
Bell and White are politically dead and Tennessee
| regenerated."
Such was the old Heros prediction in 1889. IL
has since prOved'uue and become part Of political
history.

vRashington LIENS.

Col FoRNEY, Il viii be remembered, was one Of
the spurious Democracy who went over to the Black
Republicans under the lead Of STEPHEN A DOUGLAS
They have since rewarded his desertion by eecting
him Clerk Of the House His present position and
future course is thus defined by the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Post:
Col Forney is evidently somewhat embarrassed
as to his course in the State election in Pennsylvania
Foster is really Douglas man. or at least popu-
lar sovereignty man. but he still stands by the adj
ministratiol, and will unquestOnably support the
Charleston candidate, whoever he may be. 1t is
said that Col. ForRey viii urge Mr.. Douglas upon
the convention, and if he is rejected and slave
code Democrat taken up he will bOt and if Eos
ter and the Democrats of Pennsylvania support the
Charleston nominee Mr.. Forney will also refuse to
support the State candidate Of the Democrats for
Governor. This course will be demanded of him
by consistency, for he cannot with any honor give
laid or comfort to any slave code Democrat
Should Mr.. Forney in any event support the
Charleston nominee, he will, it is said by some Of
his friends, at once resign his Office which he OBJ
tanned from the Republicans, and allow a new cleo
lion to take place.
Another correspondent says:
1t is now stated that Congress will adjourn, or
practically do no business, for entire month be-
ginning about the 10Th of April and ending about
the 10th of May. 1t is proposed in order to get
through the appropriation bills, and other important
business that the hour of meeting for the House
shall be changed from II to II O'Clock A. n, and
that night sessions shall be held in order to allow
the members &c ventilate themselves on the various
issues Of the day.
1t is reported that the National (secsionaD Black
Republican committee are spending money to Sc
cure delegates for Mr.. SEwARDs nomination at Chi
/ cago. That seems to be unnecessary.
