.ssrsspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune
MEMPHIS, March 81, 1851.
70, the frst time in her history, the fair
...,utcheon of Tennessee has been furnished and
the State disgrsced by the public exhibition OF
treason by a considerable portion OF her people.
This day has witnessed it. From an early hour
tas afternoon, the principal thoroushfare, baico'
a,es. wipdows, and every other available space,
has been thronged by citizens aud strangers,
awaiting the arrival Of detachment OF troops
Of the "Cottonocracy, en- route for the imagiDa-
~ scene of combat, Fort Pickens. The women
we're out in hundreds and thousands, and, to
their infamy be il said, had in many instances
provided themselves with flags Of the so-caied
Confederacy. The military of this place turned
out zen masse," to give the traitors grand
reception, and by SO doing covered themselves
with everlasting disgrace. Soon they made their
sppearance-aud such an appearance. Just mag
Inc Old Virginia general muster, and you haze
IN exact idea Of the show. About 800 OF about
- hard-favored, dissipsted, wo begone, dirty,
6ltby-looking, halfgrown boys as you ever saw,
ssrasQng along with the most sovereign con-
ssmpt for order. Bad whisky was evident, and
several Of the digpitaries of the crew were
% far gone as to require carriage,
eoe of which followed in the rear, into
which were packed about half dozen OF them.
Behind came the companies Of the city, 1ithom
fag in their whole line evidently ashamed to
carry their own, behind such rag as was In
advance The women waved their handker-
chiefs and miniature flags. Some men hurrahed,
and 90 they passed on. Not. however, without
many curses not loud but deep, from hundreds
Of lookers-on, and among them your humble ser
rant. l was with several from my home, Viz
ginis and there was but one voice among them,
sod that was that the whole parade was
damnabIe disgrace TO the City Of Memphis, and
the State of Tennessee. How the Rebels will re-
lsice, and al traitOrdom exult at this evidence
OF treason upon the part of this city But let
10 one think il a fair criterion Of public senti
Eent in the State. I have just retursed here
from quite extended teur, and can say with.
out hesitation that Tennessee is sound to the
sore, and will defy all tho efforts of the Sc
eessienists, at home or abroad, to carry her out
OF the Union. The masses are all right. But
tss is no place for rne. / shall get home to tho
Old Dominion, and when she goes out, if ever,
move still further away from the mobocracies
which follow in the wake Of this precious "South-
arm Confederscy."
Yours, vIRGINIAN.

BALTIMORE, March 81, 1861.
Ths Douglas Democrats OF Baltimore have
&,tsn the field again. They nearly completed
,s,sir new organization for the city last week,
having begun by call Of two from each Ward,
or forty in all, which was promptly responded

Der more than 5000 strong last FaN' II Is aes-
tined to exert q decided influence on next all
election. The Interior purpose OF the organiza-
ton ia the election of Mr.. Douglas to the
Presidency.
The Breckenridge Democrats are quiet just
now. They got their fingers so badly burnt with
Secession that it viii take some time to get them
well; and so they are patiently awaiting the fur
TIER turn of the wheel. As l said yesterday,
the present aspect Of Democratic things is, that
Seoessonism will be ababdoned and that the two
branches of the once unterrifed Democracy viii
soue together on tho State issue Of changing
NE Constitution, SO as to make representation
depend on population. But it is difficult to fore
BEL with any degree of certainty, for future com.
phcations may bring up issues not now dreamed
Of. Much will depend Oh the result OF the elec-
ions this week in Connecticut and Rhode lsishd'
and the course of the Administration. ii these
two Yankee States fall of from the Republican
sc tha MOnt00mpry Con-
snrution may become the sole issue In this state
next Fall.
Somebody has recently put forth very crude
ktter, in my Judgment, to Senator Andy john
con- on the presest state of public affairs, IN
which among other ill-judged suggestions, the
substitution of free white labor for slave labor
il urged upon Tennessee aud the other Border
Slave States, az the only road to prosperity and
national happiness. / notice, of late, that our

70 retain our negro population, infinitely prefer
ring free black labor to free white labor. In
sh,s respect, our preudices are quite as strong IN
favor of free black labor, as those of the Free
States are against it. The negro is native to
our SOIL aud by the labor Of nearly 200 years,
be race is entitled to home upon it, whether
&c be slave or free, and more especially if free.
Our 10000 free negro lsborers in thus State are
quite as well off, and much more to our liking,
tan the same number OF Irish and German la.
borers would be. And if ever emancipation
sAould take place in the Slave States, the present
master race will Lever consent, in my opinion
TO the removal Of the emancipated.
