Cid Rutherford wide Awake.

Bell and Everett Mass Meeting was held
in Rutherford county, last Tuesday. near
MurfreesbOro'. The people turned out in
large numbers. and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. A gentleman, who was one of the
delegation from this city, estimates the crowd
at about four thousand, an unusual proper
ton being ladies. Three tables, each hum
dred yards long, were not sufficient to accom-
mOdate all the ladies at one time, at dinner.
so many were there TO give the cause of the
Union and the Constitution the advantage of
their influence. Speeches were made by Hon.
JNO. S. BRIEN, E. l. GoLLADAY, ESD, Ex-Gov.
\. 5. BROwN, and RoBT. HArTON. With such
corps of speakers as this, the intellectual
feast could not have been other than of the
highest order. All of these gentlemen ac-
quilted themselves well, and the influence of
their speeches was seen and felt, and will be
still more plainly seen in November.
Capt. CRENsHAw, of this city, with his gall
liant HighidHdsrs, was present, attended by the
Bell Guards of MurfreesborO' The HghLand-
ers are delighted with their trip, and speak
in glowing terms of the hospitality of their
brethren in Rutherford.

The Texas TRoUBLEs.-The Texas papers
are still filled with alarming accounts of the
disturbances in various portions of that
State. We have carefully examined and
compared the various reports, (says the No
bile Regiaer) and although in the excitement
and alarm which such occurrences necessari-
ly create. some allowance must be made for
exaggeration and vivid coloring, sufficient is
known to show that the troubles are even
more serious than at first supposed. Property
to very large amount has been destroyed,
and a painful sense of insecurity naturally
prevails in the infested regions. Nothing
has as yet been developed to prove an organ
ganized conspiracy or regular plan at over
throwing the institution of slavery. So far
as we can judge, the disturbances are due to
gangs of desperadoes from the prairies, per
haps also from South of the Rio Grande,
whose object is plumber. and who use the ne
groes as tools for their nefarious purposes
We trust the summary and efficient meas
ures adopted by the citizens will soon clear
the country of these villains who have not
even the excuse of fanaticism for their atroc-
titles.

T. This ttues Whose fault Is 1t, them that
these .shigher laws" are set up against those
of Congress? If they have proven effective,
there is the President. commanding the
whole power of the Federal government,
sworn to execute the laws. If these State
laws have been carried into effect, 1t was IN
violation of the laws of Congress, and 10 spite
of the sworn duty of the President. But
when did Mr.. BUCHANAN ever seek to enforce
the Fugitive Slave Law by the force at his
command? If any one is responsible for the
non-execution of that Federal law, the Presi-
dent above all others, is that man. We d.
rect our contemporary to that functionary
for judicious expenditure of its eensure and
its thunder The patriotic conservative peo-
nile of the Union have witnessed the very
evils to which the Union and A,serican directs
public attention, and consequently they
sent representatives 10 the Union Convention
at Baltimore in May last, to nominate man
who would pledge himself to ENFORCE THE
LAWS. They succeeded, and presented a can
didate to the country, who will redeem that
pledge, at all hazards. The loose enforce
ment of the laws, under democratic rule is
one of the crying evils of the times, and we
are engaged in an earnest effort to correct it.
That is our object and our motto, and We
trust the people will unite with Us in its
happy and thorough accomplishment

The proposed National Conserve


The uprising of the national conservative
men TO put down Lincoln, and the fanatic
followers of the reasonable Massachusetts,
school. goes bravely on, and from every side
we receive cheering evidences that the great
masses of the people are opposed to all sec
tional doctrine in whatever shape or from
whatever quarter il may come.
On Friday meeting of conservative men,
without reference to party affiliations, was
held at the Metropolitan Hotel in this city,
for the purpose of taking into consideration
the best manner of arranging for a meeting
of the conservative national men of all par
ties, and giving expression to the national
impulses of the commercial, industrial, fnan-
cial and intellectual metropolis of the Union.
There were present Bell men, Breckenridge
men, Douglas men, Houston men, and men
who refuse to affiliate with any purely polit-
ieal party, and who may be called the repre-
sentatives Of the million of eclectic voters
VINO rarely go TO the polls. but who, in No
vember next, are determined to vote for the
ticket that will beat Lincoln. The PROPOSE
ton for united action was received with uni
versal favor, and a committee of five gentle
men was appointed for the purpose Of making
preliminary arrangements. The political
cliques and factions were also represented in
the meeting, and efforts were made to bias
ite action, but the attempts were al put
down AZ ouce.-N. y. Herald, z6n.

Hon. A. HI. stephens ON the Stun,

Hon. A. III. stephens on the Stump.
A correspondent of the Augusta (Ga.)
COnstaaionalist gives the following account OF
a speech made by Mr.. STEPHENS at Crawfords-
vile last Monday:
The court then adjourned, as it was ex-
pected that Judge Linton Stephens would
address the people on the political issues of
the day. But as the Judge was indisposed,
the Hon. A. 81: Stephens supplied his place,
and for more than one hour enchanted the
audience by his matchless eloquence in de-
tense OF the blessings we now enjoy under
the best government on earth, and showing
the evils which he seriously apprehended
from sectionalism and the disorganizing ten
dency of the seceders at Charleston.
He said that Judge Douglas was not his
first choice, yet he believed that Douglas had
shown more moral courage in defending his
convictions of right against prejudice and
fanaticism at home, than any statesman now
living North or South, and the war now
waged against him by oficeholders and seek
ers, from envy and malice, reminded him of
wolves bounding to death lordly buffalo;
and knowing that Stephen A. Douglas has
stood side by side and voted with the South
in her perils and trials, he believed him true,
honorable, and the most powerful friend the
South ever had.
He would not stand by silently and see him
denounced, without attempting to defend
him. He would feel as guilty as was the man
of old, who held the martyrs clothes while
the mob stoned him to death-and for one,
though he should stand alone, he would raise
his voice to cheer on the good men of the
North who were striving to defeat Lincoln
and save the Union. But if sectionalism
should prevail, and all should be lost-if the
Union, and peace, and all should 60 down
together-yet he would raise aloft with all
his strength the banner on which is inscribed
''non-intervention, and firm adherence to
our plighted faith" He closed with most
eloquent appeal to the conservative feelings
of his audience to stand by the Union and the
Constitution of our fathers.
From the best information can get, there
are not ten Breckenridge men in the county,
and it is stated that the vote is nearly equally
divided between Bell and Douglas.

In another part of this days paper will he
found mass of correspondence, from every
point OF the compass, bearing on the Presi-
DENTAL election, and indicating the direction
and strength of the popular breeze in the
various localities, or the change of the po-
lltical current, or the upper current and the
under current flowing in opposite directions
OF the same time. On the whole the tenden-
cy is to unite the conservative elements,
both at the North and at the South, against
the anti-slayery disunionists on one side and
the fre-eatIng disunionists on the other.
1t will be seen that while here in the State
of New York the conservatives are combin-
ing against republicanism, the republicans
are divided among themselves, the Weed
faction and the Greeley faction entertaining
the most bitter feelings of mutual animosity
against each other. The effect of the Union
ticket on the party is demoralizing. The
leading republican journals feel its effect,
and they are out of temper. There is crimi-
nation and recrimination, as always happens
in disasters on shipboard and elsewhere
Charges of corruption are flung at each
other, and hardly denied by the individuals
accused. As for the party in the last Legis-
lature, the evidence of its corruption is so
overwhelming that there is no at
tempt at denial, but clumsy attempt
to throw an equal share of the
responsibility on the shoulders of the
democrats, which is too absurd for serious
reply, seeing that in the Assembly the repub-
licans were ninety-One to thiI ty seven demo-
Gratis, and in the Senate twenty-three repub.
licans to nine democrats. They had the game
of plumber entirely in their own hands, and
those republican leaders who were not per-
mitted to share in the spoils are fierce in their
attacks upon those who led the lobby, alleg-
ing that this profigacy is highly prejudicial
to the party in the approaching irrepressible
conflict; and that if repubiicanism should be
defeated it is not because Its cause is bad. but
its champions unworthy. These chickering's
and misgivings argue "the foregone conclu.
SION" If the leaders felt that they were on
the road to victory, they would be iu such
good humor that they would forget ali past
differences In the contemplation OF The bright
prospect before them.
Scared by the Onward match of conserve
tism, some try TO parry the effect of the COM
bination ticket by pretending, like Chevalier
Webb, that republicanism is highly conserva-
tive and even pro-slavery. Others bring
their batteries to bear upon the combination
of the allies with such fury that they disclose
the secret that their hopes have grown des-
perate, and the conviction that the State of
New York is lost TO them. In Pennsylvania
and New Jersey the republican cause is also
doomed; and there is every probability that
in some of the New England States the coun-
ter revolution setting in so strongly against
it will result in its overthrow.-N. Y Herald,

--s Meet.o
Ii is somewhat remarkable that fanatics at the
North and the ireeaters at the South, representing
they the extremes of political and social anita
onis should be found aiding each other in the pro-
motion OF a common purpose. Garrison and his fol-
lowers are not more earnest In their efforts for the
dissolution Of the Union and the destruction Of the
Confederacy than the Southern ultraists who
stantly infaming the public mind by fervid appeals
to their passions and preiudices intended to kinde
bonds sohich bind them together. While the aboli-
tioiss denounce the Constitution and the Unon
unhoy compact, the dadhors aud advocates of the
Southern League striving ssto precipate the South
into rerolutiOn." Both extremes agree in thinking
desirable and they rival each other in their
hostility TO tn It calm conservative policy which would
counsel mutual forbearance between the different
portions of our Confederacy. .
The object contemplated in the organization OF the
Southern League, is iohich patriot approre
II is combustion for the purpose of Strengthening
sectional Jealousy and hatred and weakening the ties
which bind the South to the Union. II assumes an
attitude Of resistance to the general government and is
du01oed preparation for open rebellion. 1t is
of men uniting together for the redress
OF their common wrongs or for the establishment OF
great principle. No such sacred object sanctifes
the movement, or extenuates the reckIesSness OF
those who participate In it, isbQsed upon coastder-
atoms Of Pecu1siaTy ddrdntage alone. Cotton is the
bond which unites them together Cotton the King
they bend subnissivey TO its dominion II is humil-
iafinE 20 confess that the noble spirited freemen
the South have forgotten their obligations 20 their
country, not because It's government was unjust, or
It's laws oppressive. but because they think their
cuniary interests would be promoted by a dissolution
of the Union. They seem TO regard cotton as the
only test of fidelity TO the South only tie that
