Gen, Houston,

"Old Sam" has written letter deny
ing that she is no longer Il candidate for
the Presidency" or that he has declared
a preference for any Of the tickets in the
field. lie says.
"While have expressed no preference
for any Of the candidates now before the
country, have at the same time expert
enced the hope that the people would
soon see whittier they We're drifting, that
the war of factions would cease and that
upon some common basis they would
unite and prevent the triumph of either
sectonalism or disunion. Party names
or party champions, should sink into in
significance, when the palladium Of our
liberties is threatened. The blessings we
enjoy, the government which our fathers
gave US, the Constitution and the Union
should be first in the heart of every patriot
and he who fails to sacrifice all else to
maintain these, is unworthy the name of
American.

The Electors at Knoxville

The Willy, of the 18th, gives an encour-
aging account of the speaking at that
place on the Tuesday preceding. We
make an extract. After alluding to the
speeches of Messrs. Whitthorne and Hop
kins, the Wing continues:
Col. Taylor came next, and with his
commanding person, and stentorian voice,
connected with his fame which had pre-
coded him, drew around him the entire
crowd, who hung with breathless silence
upon his lips, as he delivered one of the
finest. .mostimpressivea and telling speeches
ever delivered in the hearing of a Knox
county audience. After truthful pic
turc of the corruptions and extravaganza
of the present Administration-atter con-
victing the Democratic party of a viola
ton of all their solemn pledges, and of
the re-opening of the slavery agitation, as
well as the building mp of the Black Re
publican party-he took up the subject
of Disunion. held up the authors of the
scheme--set forth in glowing colors its
consequences, and never, at any political
speaking, have we seen as many persons
bathed in tears at any one time. His pic
ture of a civil war, his recalling of the
memories of the past, and his appeal to
the friends of the Union, the Constitu-
ton and Enforcement Of the Laws, was
overwhelming, crushing, and killing in
its effects upon the Breckenridge party.
In Col. Taylor's reioindcr of twenty
minutes, to Whitthorne's twenty minutes
speech, he unclaimed the most earnest
attention, and was often interrupted by
bursts of applause, which his convincing
proof and glowing eloquence constantly

John Bell and VIM. L. Xancey.


We see going the rounds of the press,
what purports to be letter from the
Hon. VIM. l.. Tancey, addressed to
gentlemen in Alabama, in which he as
among other things, that Mr.. Bell holds
the opinion chat if the Wilmot Proyiso
were to be attached to Territorial bills, it
would be right to sanction it," Well,
suppose Mr.. Bell does hold this opinion,
can any gentleman point to a cote Of lis,
which proposed to sanction the doctrine
in practice? Does Mr.. Yancey hold the
opinion attributed by him and his adj
herents to John Bell? Let facts answer.
The Wilmot Proviso uaS attached to the
bill organizing the Territory of Oregon,
and, if we mistake not, Mr.. Yancey, in
the House Of Representatives, under his
oath, to support the Constitution, rotcd for
that bill. Howell Cobb cotcd for the same
bill, under oath-most of the South Caro-
lima delegation roted for the same bill
James X. Polk, q ,Southcm Democratic Presi-
dent, under lis oath to support the C5aa!t-
tuition approved the bill. If Mr.. Bells
opinions be so odious, lis acts are not such {:
but what shall we say of those sound, true
Southern Democrats, whose acts under oath,
whatever be their opinions, sanction the
Proviso attached to Territoritoral bills,

Kentucky Officials and the People

The Louisville Democrat thus refers to
the difference between the boiling Breck-
inridge officials in that State and the peo-
pie. We think the people have the ad-
vantage decidedly:
"Dr. Peyton, elected on the Cincinnati
Platform to the Congress of the United
States, has gone for Breckenridge, and his
county and district have left him by large
majorities.
"Simms is still worse off.
Burnett with district of five or six
thousand Democratic majority, is lost.
81. w. Stevenson has fallen, and his
district has left him.
81. Y. Brown has wisely gone with his
district. He sustains them, and they sus-
tain him.
"Senator Powell has lost his county,
and his district, and the State he repre-
sents by an overwhelming majority. Not
a State officer who has gone for Brecllin-
ridge is there, who is not repudiated by
the people. The officials of this State are
in the worst possible fix. Their con-
sttuents are all gone, and they are left
with faded laurels on their brows."

morning, 22d inst, by a shot received
from a gun in the hands of George Ladd,
of johnson, Vermont. Both were young
men of about eighteen or twenty years of
age. Ladd walked into the kitchen of
Pages father, took down a fowling-piece
from its straps, and presented it at Lewis
Page, saying, Make ready, aim, fire"
and, suiting the action to the words, shot
Lewis in the breast, little below the
heart. They had been rivals for the af-
fections of beautiful young lady in that
town, and were bad friends.

Unnecessary alarm about Corn.

1t is true that the corn crops in many
sections of Georgia and Alabama are dis
tressingly short-indeed in some locali-
ties there is an almost total failure of the
crop, and the farmers will have 10 buy
corn raised elsewhere. But we are salts
fled that there is no necessity for panic
on this subject, or for any contracts for
the procurement of corn at prices so high
as the present. The crops OF many States
OF the Northwest are abundant, and their
great granaries can supply the continent.
1t is the opinion of the best informed
business men here-gentlemen who have
taken the pains to inform themselves as
to the extent of the probable demand
and supply-that when the new crop of
the West comes freely into market, corn
can be laid down here Mt SOC. to 81 per
bushel; indeed, we hear that one gentle
man proposes to furnish any quantity at
00c. Our people who are apprehensive
and who are disposed to embrace almost
any offer to supply them with corn at any
pice within ,be bounds o. reason, NYss--
therefore see that there is no good cause
for much of their alarm. The failure or
insutiiciency of their own crops is of
course, great loss and much to be re-
gretted; but we are convinced that they
need not fear "famine prices"
The following extract, sustaining these
views, is from u letter of gentleman of
excellent judgment and correct observa-
ton, who, as it will be seen, has extern
sively travelled and collected information
on this subject as q matter of business
lie writes to house in this city largely
engaged in the grain and provision trade,
and his letter is dated Louisville, KY,
July 3lst:
"Now | regard all this excitement as
entirely premature in regard to grain
Ny recent trip to the east, through Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Albany, to Boston, return
ing through Canada, via Grand Trunk
Rrilroad, through Michigan, a part of
Indiana, Ohio, &c., satisfies me that if
the cotton States make no grain at all, the
demand can be supplied at moderate
rates. Such crops OF grain were never
before known. Many think. corn and
