Tennessee and the Fifteenth Ammend
ment,

We rejoice in the information,
which we hope is true, that the
Tennessee Legislature, which is
to meet next Monday, will refuse
to ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment. We do not doubt that
Congress will find or make a pre-
text for officially declaring the
amendment to have been ratified
by the requisite number of States
and to be a part of the Constitu-
ton, but such a declaration, if
unsustained by fact and law, will
not, we trust, be allowed to stand
for a single day after the friends
Of the Constitution shall have
the constitutional power to
annul it. The amendment has
not been ratified by Indiana, al
though the unprincipled Radical
leaders Of that State assert that
it has been; and, if it shall be
nominally ratified by Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, the thing
will be done under the influence
of duress and for that reason will
be to all intents void. Let the
Democracy, wherever they have
the power, as they certainly have
in Tennessee, see to it that the
amendment is not legally or le-
ultimately ratified, and we may
confidently trust that the wrongs
perpetrated by the party now
unfortunately dominant will in
time be corrected. AS surely as
the republic shall live, that good
time will come.-Courier-Journol.

A MODEL JURY CHARGE.-'If
the jury believe from the evil
dence that the plaintiff and de-
fendant were partners in the
grocery, and that the plaintiff
bought out the defendant, and
that the defendant paid the note
by delivering to the plaintiff q
COW, which he warranted not
breachy; and the warranty was
broken by reason of breachness
of the COW, and he drove the COW
back and rendered her to the de-
fendant, but he refused to receive
her, and the defendant took her
home again and put a heavy yoke
ON her to prevent her from jump
ing fences, and by reason of her
yoke she broke her neck and died;
and if the jury believe that the
defendants interest in the gro
Gerry was worth anything, the
plaintiffs note was worthless and
the COW good for nothing, either
for beef or milk, then the jury
must find out for themselves how
they will decide the case; for the
Court-if she understands herself,
and she thinks she does-don't
know how such 4 ID case should
be decided"

FEssENDEN's OR1G1N.-In uan-

of men) he always appeared to be
an aristocrat-a character un-
seemly in our eyes. Even to his
friend Except to the most inti-
mate,) during the first few mo-
ments of every renewed interview.
he exhibited something forbidden
in his demeanor. His counte-
nance, even in it's ightest mood,
never wholly lost it's severity
His merriest laugh did not alto
gether unwrinkle those lines Of
his face which showed him to be-
a good hater. His craven image
on our decimal currency is aabbi-
ly devoid of all his Roman digni-
ty. Self-respect sat upon him
like a supreme virtue. 1t is q
mistake to suppose (as some have
asserted) that he suffered a per-
petual pang at the remembrance
of his illegitimate birth. No civil
tie can constitute, nor the absence
of it nullify, the natural and un-
shamed allegiance which a manly
son must ever bear to his mother.
Not til mans estate did MIR. Fes-
senden come to the knowledge of
his shadowed origin; but when be
suddenly discovered that there
was living in New England a lady
\of whose existence he had been.
utterly Ignorant, but who had
brought him into the world, he
made haste to see her face, to fall
upon her neck, and to lningle his
tears Of joy and sorrow with her
own. Nothing in all his career
was nobler than the filial affection
and respect which he never ceased
to render to this superior woman
during her remaining years on
earth.

The National Capital.
CALL FOR A NATIONAL CONvEN-
TION AT ST. LOUIS.

TION AT ST. LOUIS.
In consideration of the growing g
agitation by the people of the
Valley States of the subject of the
removal of the national capital
from Washington city to the Mis-
sissippi valley, the undersigned,
believing that it ought to be re-
moved, deem it of the highest inn
pOrtance to full and free discus
sion of the subject by the people
of all the States, to call a national
convention for that purpose, and
in making the call, hereby set
forth:
1. That the present location of
the capital is Objectionable to the
great mass of the people of the
country. Its geographical posi-
sition is in the highest degree
both Objectionable and adverse
to the public interests, and never
can be made reconcilable to the
vastness of our territory.
2. That there is every conside-
ration, both of our nationality
and our civilization, to demand
it's removal to the central plain Of
the continent. Whoever will con-
slider the topography of our coun-
try and the growth of our civila-
zation, must know that the
preponderance of national power
and national wealth. if not already
possessed by the Valley States,
will soon be organized and con-
centrated within the limits of
those States adjoining the Missis-
sippi river and her tributaries and
lying between the gulf and the
| lakes. Here will be concentrated
| the great railroad power of the
nation; here the agricultural
wealth; here will be assembled, in
a few years, three-fourths of the
people of the country, all con-
trolled by intelligence and indus
try. Furthermore, we claim that
the force of civilization is Of vast
concern in maintaining good gov
eminent, influencing national leg
islation, and giving strength to a
nation; and, therefore, Of right
the seat of national legislation
ought to be fixed in the center of
our national civilization, it's
wealth, it's power and it's popula-
ton. To obtain wise diccussion
of the facts bearing upon this
great subject, and to secure the
end for which we labor by a just
conviction of our countrymen to
this cause, we make this call for a
national convention, to convene
at ST. Louis on the Goth day of
October next, said convention to
be composed of delegates from all
the States and Territories, as fol-
lows: Each State to be represent
ed by two delegates from each of
it's Congressional districts, and
four delegates for each State at
large. The delegates to be ap-
pointed respectively by the Gov
ernors of the States. The Terri
tories will be entitled to two
delegates appointed by their
Governors also, the District of
Columbia will be entitled to two
delegates, to be appointed by the
mayor of Washington city. Sign
ed by the committee.

THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was time in the history of our
country when greater necessity existed for cir
culatiDg pure Democratic documents. Radical
| legislation has made grave yard and desert of
half Of our country our Liberties have been in
| fringcd upon TO an alarming extent; overwhelm-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbeclity, our government is
the scot and by-word of foreign nationsj dispis.
ed at home and derided abroad, it is oycrbaug
ing the very brink of destructon the departure
of our people from the glorious prccepts of the
past has led them into Il labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in a military
despotism. The New York Mperalist, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire;
its efforts receive the cOuntenance Of high gov
eminent officials, and the appreciation Of the
manufacturing nabobs Of the East we ure rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability Of the ship of State. There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed.
There is but one way TO redeem the country from
the demngOgucs and plundercrs who are fast urg
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles Of the fathers OF the Republic, drive
from places Of trust the spoilers fattening upon
the life blood of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism Thestruggle has already
commenced TIE y mocratic party will be
found, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people
Circulate the documents.
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands of every
Democrat in the county, and within the reach
of every political opponent who may desire to
investigate facts and listen to the truth while yet
there is time On and after the LIST Of July, the
