There has recently been an election 10
Nashville, in which there were two par
ties, and but two, Is there can only be
virtually, whatever the pretencs any
where in the Country. One party was
for the Government, the Administration
and its measures, and the other party was
against them, and the latter party was
the most numerous. During the PEN
dency Of the election the Vallandisham
address appeared, and gave great aid and
comfort to the opponents of the Admins
tration, just as it does here in Iowa.
The Nashville Union Andy Johnson's
organ an ardent advocate of the Union
and the Administration, paid its respects
to the Democratic address aforesaid in
the following article, which we commend
to honest and patriotic Democrats in the
North. who may happen to have friends
and relations, fighting the battles Of their
Country under the flag of the Union.

NEW PLOT OF THE CONspIRAToRs--AT-
TEMPT TO RKoRGANlZE THE BUCHANAN
DEMOCRACY ny CERTAIN CONGRESSMAN
BE ON YOUR GUARD
We have been intending for some days
to notice very remarkable movement of
certain Democratic Congressman. we'll
known rs allies and sympathizers with
Breckenridge, Cobb, Floyd and Humph-
rey Marshall. A meeting was held the
other day by these old party hacks whose
| regulations are us battered and soiled as
an old harlot's. and an address sent forth
to the people of the United States. This
formidable pronunciamento, after circula-
ting FIVE or six weeks. got just fourteen
signatures.
Unavoidable absence, We presume, On
public business, prevented the names Of
Howell Cobb, Jefferson Davis, Jesse D.
Bright, Humphrey Marshall, Gustavus A.
Henry Wigfall, and Neil Brown, from
adding their lustre to this newly risen
galaxy Of patriots.
| Vallandigham and his crowd want TO
continue in Office, and got their old friends
back again, and for this purpose "there
must be opposition to the present Ad-
ministration. We thought that as the
Nation was struggling with mighty re-
bellion, il was the duty of all citizens,
without diatinOtion of sent or party TO Ay
to the support Of the officers who had
been put in command of the laboring
ship Of State, in order to rescue her pas.
sengers and save her precious cargo.
"No," say the fourteen, ssthe 6rst thing
is to settle the question as to what sort Of
. flag the ship must carry And NEXT
we must have the of6Ces. Nobody has
confidence in US. We were turned out
Of Office for bad conduct, but the ship
shall perish unless We are restorel.''
But the address tells nonstrous false
hood when Il says that 10 "aIl its civil
acts and appointments, the Administra.
ton has recognized its fealty and ohliga-
tons to party. It is an impudent, glar-
ing lie. Who did President Lincoln Of.
Ter 10 appoint Secretary Of Wnrs Jo-
seph Holt. Southern Democrat. Whom
did he appoint Secretary of War; Hon.
Z. NJ. Stanton, another lifelong Demo
crat. Whom did he nominate as Major
General Of the United States armies?
George B. Mcclellan, another firm, un-
wavering Democrat. What are Gen. Du-
