sss- It has been suggested by some of
the papers Of Tennessee--the Chronicle
amongst the number--that the friends of
Southern Rights vote open tickets on the
9Th Of June; and this simple suggestion
has been tortured, by submissionists, into
an attempt to force the people, against their
will, to vote open tickets. This is all tom
foolery, and they are hard run who resort
to such a trick, in order toarouse prejudice.
Every man has right TO fold bis ticket If
he chooses, and f the allies of Lincoln
don't choose to let it be known how they
vote we suggest that they not only fold,
but seal their tickets. Aud now, having
suggested both the open and folded tickets,
we hope both parties will be pleased.

nsr The few Union men in tb;,

BeSn The few Union men in this section
of country seem to have one favorite ap-
peal to non-slaveholders, which is this =
"Will you shoulder your musket to defend
the property of shareholders ?" There are
two points in this argument that are fatal
ly weak. In the first place, the South is
not fighting in defence of slavery, but for
its liberty, its very existence, and the non
Shareholder has as deep an interest at stake
as the largest STAKEHOLDER in our midst
In the next place, if the North succeeds
in subjugating us, slavery will be abolish
ed, and the free negro be placed upon an
equality with the white man, in accordance
with abolition philanthropy. But suppose
the slaves be set free and removed from us,
has the non-slaveholder calculated the eff
feet of their removal, as property Let
him look at the facts, and then draw his
own conclusions. The value of slave pro-
perty, in this county-as the ASSESSOR s
books will shows four millions of dol
lars, and the revenue from that property is
over ten thousand dollars. Now if that
amount of property be removed, it will not
diminish the expenditures of the Govern
ment, and to raise the ten thousand dol
lars thus lost, will require poll-tax OF
eight dollars head. Even supposing,
then, that the South were fighting in de.
fence of its slaves alone, it is the interest
of the on-slaveholder to take part in the
fight, because the tax upon slaves, as pro,
perty, relieves him from this heavy burden
which will, otherwise. fall upon his shout.

sA- Gen. SCOTS horror of leaving fire
in his rear is conspicuous in the number of
troops assembled at Washington before he
ventured to leave Maryland behind him,
and we presume the same thing will be
done at Louisville before he loses sight of
the Ohio river, in his advance upon Ten
nessee. Such precaution proves his
knowledge of the fact that there are many
brave and gallant spirits in Kentucky and
Maryland whom Legislatures can not re-
strain when the tocsin is sounded which
calls them to the defence of honor, liberty,
country, and life. To march through
Kentucky now may be easy, but to march
back again will be a troublefome job.

pea- The advocacy of conscious error
leads men into very gross absurdities
sometimes. We frequently find in our
Union exchanges the remark that there is
a Union majority in Tennessee and Vir.
ginia, but they are overawed by secession
minority. Are Union men such towards
as thus to be bullied and overrun by mi
nority? Their organs say so, but we don't
believe it.

ALBERT PIKE AND THE INDIASs.-A letter from
Little Rock Ark, says
Capt. Albert Pike has been commissioned by the
Southern Confederacy to raise and equip regi-
ment of Indians for instant service. The Captain
is an idol with the Indians on our border. He has
secured to them so many comforts, and they are SC
fond Of him. that he has often been urged by them
to become their Chief, and he can readily procure
a command of FIVE thousand Of them if necessary
He goes at once to the nation.

ptA- The fanatics of the North are howl
ing over the death of Col Ellsworth, and
vowing all sorts of vengeance That he
was rightfully killed, we have no doubt,
and the facts will fully sustain this opinion.
Mr.. jackson was citizen of Virginia, and
choosing to manifest his sympathy with the
South, he hoistcd a Southern flag on his
own house, on the soil of Virginia. Els
worth, all the way from Chicago, entered
Alexandria, as the minion of tyrant and
usurper, and took it upon himself to enter
the house of Jackson, and tear down the
flag. He was there without the sanction Of
law, and in defiance of violated Consti-
tuition, and with the arrogance of the tool
of despot, took it upon himself to tres
pass upon private property and do violence
to the rights Of citizen of Virginia and
for this act of aggression he was shot down
by Jackson, who was also shot down by one
of the banditti headed by the New York
Fire Zouave Colonel Had Congress de.
clared war against Virginia, and sent Els
worth there as an officer of the army it had
raised? No Congress had declared nc
war, raised no army, and there can be ne
war, legally declared, and no army legally
raised, except by act of Congress. Then
how came Ellsworth there? He was sent
there by base usurper whose crimes ough
to be punished with death, and, as the will
ling slave of lawless tyrant, Ellsworth de
served his fate, and Jackson was murdered
for boldly defending his rights against thu
assaults of abolition mauraders.
