Mr. Editor Permit me to say through the
columns of your paper, that preferences having
been made and expressed by men of the Union
party as to who should be selected US the candi-
date for Congress, permit me to suggest the name
of ALFRED CALDWELL, of McMinn county. 1t
is needless to attempt laborel array of his
claims. His position on all questions involving
our national welfare arc defined, and he has only
to be well known to be appreciated. We all ac-
cord he is worthy, and, if nominated, well quail
fed to defend our cause at home and protect our
interest in Congress, and his bold and fearless
course in the last Presidential canvass, manfully
standing up in defence of his position, has taken
strong hold upon this community, that Aft. Cald-
well is the man who should be run for Congress
OLD ROANE,
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1861-04-12
Senator for Knox and Roane. Z

Editor Of The KnorpMe WIG The en-
1uiry now is often made, as to who would
be the proper person to represent the
Senatorial District, composed of the coun-
ties OF Knox and Roane, in the next
Legislature.
The people desire man who is un-
flinching in his adhesion to the doctrines
and principles of the Union party.
They want man who speaks out, and
that too, in u way to be understood, upon
the great and vital questions of the day,
who does not fear to proclaim his senti-
ments on the housetops. freely and bold
ly for the maintenance of the govern
ment and our national integrity-the Sc
cession party to the contrary notwith-
standing.
An effort to decoy Tennessee out of
the Union, and make her part of what
is called the Southern Confedcracy, will
in the next Legislature be the grand OBJ
Ject OF the secessionists. And in this
matter, they will manage with their
usual shrewdness and deception.
Where they cannot elect straight out
disunionists, they will, in all probability,
turn their influence in favor of such men
as they will expect to be able to remodel
and revise after they get them surround
ed by their stratagems and excitement
at Nashville.
Now, in view of this hint, and the
many other considerations, it is oil i'm
important to elect candidate for the
Senate, whose position Is clearly fixed
and unmistakable.
The question then comes up, who is
that man? Knox and Roane counties
are full of such men, but there is no
man in the two counties, who has more
boldly, openly, and independently avow-
| ed his attachment TO the Union than
| Capt. ALEXANDER, of Loudon, and it is
| fair to assume there is no man in the
District who could more efficiently vim
dictate the cause of the Union than Capt.
! Alexander. lie is well posted, in the
political issues of the day, all the time
armed and equipped to repulse and de-
molish secession doctrine, no matter from
what quarter it may raise its hdeousness.
lie is true to the cause he espouses-
loves his country, and yields nothing in
argument to its enemies. He is q man
who shudders at the awful idea of break
ing up and laying in waste the Constitu-
ton 1.-THE great charter of liberty,) and
the republican principles of the country,
our glorious country, which has lost so
much of late by designing leaders.
The many friends of Capt. Alexander
would be pleased to hear from him
through the press on this subject; and
hope ho will give an early response.

PARTY Shirt.

1t is we'll established truth that par.
ties are essential to the prosperity Of free
governments, and that when organized,
with a view to national objects and pub
lie welfare, they are fruitful blessings. 1t
is equally true that when organized for
sectional purposes, or with view to the
qualification Of party and selfish interests,
they are public curse. No evidence Of
this is wanting. The deplorable proof
the world sees in the disruption of the
American Union. So long as political
parties in the United States were purely
national in their objects, Notwithstanding
occasional excuses in tone and temper,
they contributed largely to the strength
of the political system, infused vigor
challenged inquiry, and were productive
of manifold benefits. The time unfortu-
nately came when party arose that was
organized with view to sectional or self
ish nggrandizement, rather than the ma
tional welfare. From that hour dates
the decline and fall of the most prosper
Gus and powerful Confederacy the world
has ever seen.
1t is well known that on many occasions
in former times party spirit ragged as
fiercely as it did when Immediately herald
ing the dissolution of the Union, and that
neither the peace Of the country nor the
Union was thereby endangered. This
was owing to the fact that parties were
then operating for national purposes. At
the same time, history bears witness thai
an excess of party spirit under any cir.
cumstances, is hurtful and dcleterious.-
In all parties, however noble may be their
objects, there will be selfish men and
heartless demagogues who are ever on
the alert to catch the spoils of public sta
ton, and bend all their energies to that
end, regardless of the public welfare, ex-
cept in so far as it may be promoted with
out any sacrifice of their individual inter-
ests. Such men are the pests of free
communities. They have noworthier OBJ
.ject in view than self aggrandizement.-
They have nothing in common with the
upright and good.

tFor the Post.l
A Word to Union Men.

The parties of Tennessee are Union"
and "Disunion more, nothing
less. Union men, thank God, have ma
jority of more than 10000, and they are
composed of Wings and Democrats. 1t
is necessary that their action in the APP
preaching canvass should be entirely har'
monious-there should be no discussions
in the ranks. In order that such should
be the case, there should be as nearly as
practicable, an equal division of candi-
dates. Such cause will leave no ground
for Wings to say sit is n Democratic
move" or for Democrats to say sit is Il
Wing move" Let the people select up
on the above stated basis, good and un-
doubted men, and all will move on
smoothly. Tennessee, in her official ar
NOR, will be more terrible to treason and
10 traitors than an "army with Banners"

South Carolina.

1t seems that South Carolina is not sat
isfied with the Constitution OF the Con-
federated States. On the contrary, it falls
far below perfection in the estimation of
that peculiar people. The following pro-
ceedings occurred in the Convention to
ratify the Constitution. Under motion
to go into secret session,
Mr.. Manigault submitted the following:
Resoiced, That in the Constitution
adopted by the Congress of the Confed-
crate States of America, at Montgomery,
many but not all the material defects of
the Constitution of 1887, pointed out by
the experience of seventy years, have
been amended or removed.
Resolyed, That before this Convention
ratifies the Constitution adopted at Mont
gomery, we feel bound to express our con-
Viction that it is imperfect and objection
able, and ought to be amended on the
following points:
|. In leaving open the door to the adj
mission of non-slaveholding States into
this Contederacy.
2. In adopting tho basis of only three
fifths of the slaves in calculating the
Federal population.
3. In granting to the Government of
the Confederacy an unlimited power Of
direct taxation.
i. In making the prohibition to import
Africans Constitutional principle, and
not merely giving to the Confederate
Government the.power to prohibit it as
a matter of expediency, and not putting
the Coolie trade on the same footing
S. In continuing the Postoiiice monop-
oily in the hands of the Confederate Gov
eminent.
The Constitution was opposed by En-
Governor Adams, Mcssrs. Middleton,
Gregg, Spratt, and others, upon the fore
going and other grounds. Among other
amendments suggested we find the fol-
lowing:
Art s. add-Nor shall any State be
hindered from peaceably seeding from
this Confederacy.
Art. 6, clause G-E'peclally the right
to judge of any inlraction Of this Con-
stitution by any department of the Con-
fcderate Government, and of the mode
and measure of redress.
The Georgia journal and Messenger,
noticing this, remarks:
We think, on the whole, that it may
be well to hold convention of the Sc
coded States, composed of delegates cleo.
ted by tie people, for that purpose, to frame
Constitution that shall be permanent
and satisfactory, or as far so as practical
BILE. In the mean time let all classes Of
our fellow-citizens give to our new Gov
eminent cordial support.

Is the Potato Crop Benefited by Ma.
nure on Good SoilP

At arecent meeting of one If the Farm
er's Clubs of Chester county, Pa, the sub
ject of Fertilizers" being under discus
sion, amember remarked as we learn from
q correspondent of the Germantown TEL
c9raph, that he had frequently used plas-
ter with good effect upon his potato crop.
This remark brought out the following
statement from Benjamin Hickman, who
is said to be one of the best practical farm
ers of Chester county:
"The potato crop does very well on
poor land, aided by manure, but on good
land potatoes come earlier and grow to a
larger size without manure. Land may
be too rich for potatoes. Has known the
tops to grow thirteen feet in length upon
manured, and only yielding potatoes the
size Of a hickory nut"
At the same meeting, and somewhat in
confirmation Of Mr.. Hickman's statement,
says the correspondent, two other men,
bers, Lewis p. Hopes and Amos II. Dar-
lington, remarked, that on good soil ma
nure was injurious to the sweet potato
crop-tending to make them watery and
tasteless. without increasing the yield.
If it is fact that potatoes come earl
or and grow to larger size on good land
without manure" in Pennsylvania, it will
hold good in this and other Southern
States. The matter is worth testing at
least, and as the time of planting is near
at hand, we hope some of our potato-grow-
ers will give the matter fair trial and
report progress"
