CAN County SEcEDE?-Franklin county,
Tennessee, is one of the half dozen counties of
that splendid State that was carried by the dis
unionists The people thereof, exasperated at
not being out of the Union, have resolved to
withdraw from the Abolition State of Tennes-
see, and 70 with Alabama. They cannot, by
any possibility, continue to suffer the intollera-
BILE expressions of the State of Tennessee
They want their rights" They are not taxed
enough to make them contented. They have to
vote once in a while-a WEAKNESS not imposed
upon the good citizens of the seeded States
They are now troubled little about the manage
ment of the Government. So, few days ago,
the citizens of Franklin county assembled and
in Convention resumed their sovereignty which
had been vested in the State of Tennessee Here
are the resolutions:
Resolved, That we earnestly petition the Le-
gislaturee of Alabama and Tennessee, through
them and by ourselves, and all other authorities
that can give US any aid in the matter to change
the line between the States so as to transfer the
county OF Franklin to the State of Alabama,
unless, before this be done Tennessee secede
from the Union, thereby giving us Govern
ment having our consent; and that copies OF
this and the next resolution be sent to the Gov
ernors of Alabama and Tennessee as early as
can be.
Resolved, That we declare ourselves out Of
the Union, subject to be ratified by the States
of Alabama and Tennessee, as provided in said
resolution, which we again earnestly request may
be attended to,-TSt, Louis Democrat

TIE WHEAT CROP IN ENGLAND-The latest re-
ports from England represent the prospects Of
the wheat crop for the present year to be unfe-
vorable. It's we'll known that the last year was
a calamitous one for the English farmers, so far
as the cereal and root crops were concerned. No
large stock of food, therefore, can be on hand
to supply the wants of the present. and the mar
ke,s will he in a great degree dependent upon
the coming season, The Mark Lane Express of
18th ult,, says that reports from different parts
of each county in Notwithstanding to some
three hundred reports in all, represent that the
breadth Of land sown hitherto with wheat for
the next crop is as deficient as in the memo
rable years of 1923, and probably more SO.
If the next two weeks should prove unfavorable
to the Spring sowing the land will be laid with
other grain than wheat. Fears, too, are enter
tanned that large proportion of wheat already
sown will not vegetate, or has been destroyed
by the frost, in consequence of its weak state
from late sowing, or immature condition Of seed.
There is consequently fear of a deficient harvest
next season.

NICHOLAS BorToN DoUGLAs.-The Washing.
ton correspondent Of the N. Y. Times thus re-
fers to Douglass recent buster in the Senate.
In this connection, will allude to the recent
belligerent spirit on the part Of Mr.. Douglas;
and cannot fail to remark that have never
known him to assume the airs of the game cock,
except when brought into collision with the class
of Northern men who are known to be averse to
dueling. have heard him time and again heap
the foulest and coarsest epithets upon Northern
Senators, whose pacific principles were well
known; hut never did he apply an epithet to
man from the South side Of Mason aud Dixon's
line Mr. Douglas may fatter himself that this
singular fact has escaped observation; but il so
he Is sadly mistaken He may have been logic
ally severe upon Jefferson Davis, on one occasion
as he was was recently upon Wigfall; but in
neither case nor in any case did he ever apply an
epithet to one of the "chivalry." The sngularity
OF this fact is rather enhanced than otherwise by
the well-known circumstance that no Northern
Senator ever assailed him with abuse, while from
the Southern members of the body he has been
baited and badgcred without mercy and without
stint The conclusion is inevitable when these
things are brought into review that the animal
which reared from under the lions shin on Fri
day last not an ass, was at any rate not lion.
But Mr.. Douglas should remember the caution
of Bottom, given on similar occasion; that even
to appear lion among ladies is most dreadful
thing. ..for there is not more fearful wild fowl
than YOUR lion" His friends should have an
nouaced in prologue that he was not = lioL.-
The gallant Bottom insisted that, to save conse-
ouepces. the pretended lion should show halt his
face. and that his name should be given to con-
vince the ladies that it was only Snug the joiner
and no lion. Shame on tho Illinois Senator, that
he was less careful for the ladies than honest
Bottom the weaver. s

Cassius N. Clay, the new Minister to the Court
of Spain, was born in Madison county, KY, on
the 10th of October, 1910. After studying in
Transylvania University at Lexington, in: that
State, he entered the junior class of Yale Col
lege, where he was graduated in 1892, and re-
turned to Kentucky. He devoted himself to the
law, and in 1885 was elected to the State Legis.
lature. He was reelected in 1887, and in 1889
was member of the National Wing Convention
at Harrisburg which nominated General Harrison
for President. Taking up his residence at Lex
ington be was elected to the Legislature in 1S4O
He was, however defeated in lS41, owing to his
opinions on the slavery question, which he every
where fearlessly expressed. He denounced the
scheme for the annexation of Texas, and in 1874
traversed the Northern States addressing i'm
mense audiences in favor of the Wing Presiden-
tial candidate. In l545 he established the True
American, an emancipation journal, in Lexing-
ton, amid great opposition. Upon the declara-
ton of war with Mexico he entered the service
as Captain Of the "Old Infantry" volunteer
company which had distinguished itself at the
battle of Tppecanoe in 1911. He was taken
prisoner at Encarnacion in January, 1S47. He
was exchanged and returned home in the autumn
Of that year, and was presented with a sword in
honor of his services. In lS4S he labored hard
for the election of General Taylor, and in 1850
presented himself as candidate for Governor of
the State Of Kentucky, on the basis of a political
organization against slavery He received some
5000 votes. He has not since been a candidate

chad never had occasion to punish, and never
knew Of his being guilty Of a fasehood;" to
which application Mr.. Sedgwick sent the follow
ing reply:
sr SYRACUSE, March, 1861.
Ny DEAR S1R:-f you have got son who
won't lie or steal, don't for Gods sake put him
in the New York Custom House. He would
soon lose those qualities there, and get other
habits not half so virtuous Still, if you are in
clined to put temptation in his way, instead Of
being careful and prayerful that it be removed
from him, will give him letter, provided any
friend of mine is appointed Collector.

A Nut FOR THE REcoNsTRucTIoN1sTs.-
commend the following extract from the Ashta-
bula American, leading Democratic paper, to
the reconstructionists:
They who talk of reconstructing the Union by
bringing back the seeded States, know nothing
of the sentiments and temper of the people
therein. They feel that they have liberated
themselves from despotism worse than abso-
lutte. They feel that they can conduct their Gov
eminent on more economical principles, with
fewer burdens and greater blessings than those
of any other Government in the world. They feel
that they are homogeneous in sentiment and in
institutions, and that their Constitution shut
carrying out the spirit of the Constitution Of the
United States. Those who believe that the peo-
pie Of the Confederate States are now longing
for the Black Republican domination, had bet
ter travel in those States and learn their error.
