The Mass-Meeting.

We call attention again to the proposition for q
Mass-Neeting, at Nashville, on the 22d of Feb
rnary, and as next Monday is Comfy Court day, II
is an appropriate time for County Meeting, to
appoint delegates. The contemplated movement
properly directed and earnestly pressed forward
must be productive Of much good. The time has
come when the voice of Tennessee should he heard
in behalf Of Onion and liberty. sDisfranchised
misrcprescntcd and degraded bound, hand and
foot, like CULVER by the Lillipntans II is time
that the noble old State should gather up IN
strength and snap the bonds with which It's pigmy
foes fettercd its sleeping energies. One effort
and the work is done. Let that effort be made Oh
Washingtons birthday, and let all remember that
there can be no more appropriate celebration Of
that anniversary than q manly and telling
blow at despotism. The political spiders are busy
spinning cobwebs with which to embarrass tn,
progress of rcstoration; but let them see tina
though their filmy webs are nuisance they ar,
no obstruction to the oward march of men re
solved to be free. We hope the wise men of TIN
State will come together that occasion, and tina
their united voice will be heard in defense Of firth
justice and constitutional liberty, and that the eye
of the petty tyrnnts who rule over us may b
opened to the infamy they have won by trying u
degrade others.

The March Elections.

I We believe the law requires that the Sheriff
shall advertise and hold county elections, nj stated
periods and in case the Sheriff is, himself, candi-
Coroner To advertise and hold the same and make
his returns 10 the County Court. Tho March ecc-
ton is near nj hand, and as the Sheriff Isl eandi-
diate for re. clccton, Il becomes the duty Of the
Coroner TO take action in the premises, that the
law may be duly complied with, and the govern
ment of the county suffer dc,riment for want of
the proper machinery to keep it in motion. An
attempt is being made, by our magnificent Legis-
lature 10 prevent the county elections by conferpg
upon Brownlow the power TO appoint all county
officers and thus to feed the hungry pets Of
his party, for year longer. But the Legislature
can not, egitimately, confer any such power, and
IT is the duty Of the proper county officers to 60
forward in the discharge Of their duties, regardless
OF such lawiess interference. Tennessee has boas-
ted civil government though in very uncivil
hands, for at least year, and rs We have the re-
cogniton and the forms, It is the duty Of every
good citizen to insist that nothing short of military
prohibition shall force any innovation upon Con-
stitution, laws and usages. The manner Of holding
elections is clearly defined; so are the duties Of
officers, and &c they tail not meet the requirements
Of the laws under which they arc sworn to act the
county will not be reduced 10 the necessity of ac-
ccpting the services of the plant appontees OF
illegal authority. We invite the attention Of all
whom it may concern, to this important subject
with the hope that prudence aud wisdom may SC
shape the action of county officials as to defeat any
unlawful attempts to cheat us out of our vested
rights.

ALL who fancy that they see, in the signs of the
times, a prospect for foreign war, may rest as
sured that their fears arc unfounded. The Yankees
were smart enough, early in the war, to buy
English neutrality with pledge to abolish slavery
and that of France by an Amendment Of thu
Monroe doctrine. Those two powers, having vic
timizcd the South for the considerations aforesaid
have no pretext nor desire for war, and this gov
eminent overwhelmed with debt will take care Il
give them no serious offensc though it must blus
ter lite to nmuse the people.
