The New Dangers.


President Johnson, in bis samira.
blc letter to the Gettysburg eelebra.
lion, referred significantly to tho
"new dangers that threaten us."
What those dangers arc tho pnblic
rrc beginning to understand. The
radicals in Congress, led By Sumner
K Co., will insist ,ha. the Clerk Of
the House Of Representatives, shall
net call the roll Of members from tho
States lately in rebellion. ii they
are called thoy take their seats In
Congress wilhou, opposition; II they
are not called, then they can ret all.
mission only by consent. This cor
sent, II is now understood, the radl.
Gals in Congress are determined To-
withhold. They have the righ. 10
doso il they cloecc.
The Constitution makes them TIE
Judges Of tho election, and Of tho
qualification Of their own member,
aud, il they factiously consiruc tho
law and exercise their privilege, they
eau keep the Southern States from
representation IN Congress. ltis al
most certain that this course will b.
adopted By the radicals. There is
no good reason why they should %
act, but they will no, stop TO consider
she,her their act is good or bad. !,
serves their purposes, aud they will
ac, out their prejudiccs and passions,
aud take the consequences.
There are Two ways only in which
Ibis meliiaied factions course can b.
rcmcdicl. One is fsr the delegation
from Tennessee, or any member Of
the sane. to make up a case for the
adjudication Of the Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, here again the radi.
Gals have tho advantage Of Us. Tho
Chief Justice Is q radical cf the
vors, sort, and he mar be 20 passion
blinded AZ to take his law from his
preindiees. Still ve have m abiding
confidence 10 the majority Of tho
Court, that they will overrulc his
ipsc dirt and decide according to the
law aud the Constitution. II they
should, the action Of the majority In
Congress, in refusing admission 10
members elected By the laws Of the
several States, would he declared un-

The Democracy.

We hope the Democracy Of this State will
hold State convention at an early day,
and nominate good and strong. ticket. In
a crisis like this the country demands the
services of our best men-men of acknowl-
edged talent and tried integrity. This is
particularly applicable to Governors and
members of Legislative bodies.
So far as nominations are concerned, we
have but little choice of men when honesty
and capability are secured. Coupled with
these requisites, 1t strikes us that at time
like this it would be well for us to select a
man for Governor who will by the weight
of his character, hispers0nal popularity and
the energy with which he will conduct the
campaign, stand the bestchance for success.
Would not Hon. William Allen make an
excellent heading for our ticketp Mr.. Al
len was the bosom friend Of Andrew jack
soh--he is acknowledged one of the most
gifted of American statesmen--his charac-
Ter, public and private, is without spot or
blemish-he is one Of the most eloquent
and popular speakers In the Union.
No power but the Democracy can save
the remnant OF liberty left us, or bring or
der out Of the ruin wrought by our politic-
ak opponents. That noble tribe, the Gibli-
mites Of old, after being imprisoned and op-
pressed, were prompt to come up to assist
In rebuilding the House Of the Lord, and
in imitation Of their fidelity, devotion and
courage, the Democracy should come up
promptly to aid In rebuilding the Temple
of American liberty Holmes Co. Farmer.

Too Many State, County and TOWN.
ship Officers.

Hon. JAMES Fl. GOODMAN, Auditor OF State'
in his annual report for the year 1854, de-
votes chapter to the consideration OF our
Financial system, which he pronounces "a
good one, and based on correct principles
but. he thinks, sit has become somewhat
complicated and disjointed and diihcuit 70
understand" How a complicated and dis-
iointed and difficult to understand financial
system can be good one, appears diiiicuiC
to comprehend. The Auditor is satisfied
that 1--WE have too many State, County ana
Township officers" and if he had the power,
"he would diminish the number OF each.
He would abolish the Boards OF County
Commissioners, and assign portion OF
their duties to the County Auditor, part to
the Probate Judge, and part to the Sherlii
of the county.
Would such change work wells would
it not be throwing into the hands OF the
Auditors, Probate Judges and Sheriifs, the
power to pass on their own acts? Thepre-
yailing opinion is, that the "Boards oi
County Commissioners" are among the
most useful officers in county. Is this
opinion erroneous? If not the Board should
not be abolished.

Mr.. Delano offered resolution, which
was adopted, instructing the Judiciary
committee to inquire into the pr0priety of
providing that railroad corporations shall
be prohibited from making any dividends

stock in good order, and have at least one
track In good and safe condition for the use
of passenger trains; and also that said COM
mittee inquire into the propriety of limit
ing the dividendsof all railroad corporations

annum, until such roads are provided with
double tracks in good order, and safely con-
structed, as well as with suitable rolling
stock, for the use of their roads in convey
ing passengers.
Several bills were taken up, discussed
and referred to appropriate committees, and
the House adjourned.

Great War Meeting in Richmond. j.

The Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday, Feb
ruary Z, contains the report of great war
meeting held at the African Church, in that
city, on the previous night. The following
10 tho account. The Dispatch says:
''In response to the call of Gov. Smith,
of Virginia, the greatest concourse of peo-
pie assembled at that building that ever as
sembled under its roof. The meeting was
advertised for o'clock, but by o'clock
every portion, where a man could stand,
was occupied. The galleries were so densely
packed that serious fears were entertained
that they would give way. 1t was graf
flying to see this immense meeting, when
the object was to hurl back into Lincoln's
teeth the insult put on the Southern people,
by his answer to the Confederate Commits
sioners sent to confer with him on the sub
ject of peace between the two contending
Governments. One was invariably carried
back, by the spirit that animated all pres
ent, to the first days of secession. Never
before has the war spirit burned so fiercely
and steadily. The firm resolve to resist to
the very death the demands of the North
ern tyrant that now animates the whole
Southern people was plainly visible at that
meeting.
sAbout o'clock Governor Smith, at
tended by President Davis, came upon the
stand. The Governor addressed the multi
tude in patriotic and soul-stirring speech,
during which hewas frequently interrupted
by thunders of applause. He was followed
by President Davis in an address of about
three-quarters of an hour, during which he
was frequently interrupted with the widest
bursts of applause.
A long series of resolutions were adopt
ed, of which the following is sample:
''Resolued, That we spurn, with the indig-
nation due to so gross an insult, the terms
on which the President OF the United States
has proffered peace to the people of the
Confederate States.
"Resolued. That the circumstances under
which it was made, add to the outrage, and
stamp it as designed and premeditated in
dignity to our people.
'.Resolred, That in this presence, and in
the face Of the world, invoking the aid OF
Almighty God, we renew our resolve to
maintain our liberties and independence,
and thus mutually pledge ourlives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor"
Vice President Stephens was called out,
but did not respond.
