The Nashville American!

This faithful and unwavering advocate Of
Democratic principles, views the result Of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive to every sim
cere lover of his country and its institu-
tions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. 1t will be the province OF
The American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and TO give the
people such information as Will lead them
to correct conclusions. The facts IL will give
will be without bias, upon which Its read
ers can form their own opinions. Time and
the recurrence of popular elections, show
that very large portion OF the voters of the
Union act from the impulse of the moment,
rather than from settled convictions in re-
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for theuse Of
public Journals to obtain Juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American will endeavOr with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news State and National,
and will strive TO deserve what 1t already
paper south of the Ohio river, regardless of
politics or location.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
90 FEEL wmAT nAvE FELr


A young lady In New York was in the
habit OF writing on the subject Of temper
anee. Her writings were full Of pathos, and
evinced such deep emotion OF the soul that
the subject or fntenperance, whereupon she
wrote the following touching lines;
Go feel what have felt.
Go bear what I have borne
Sinkneath the blow a father dealt
And the cold worlds proud scorn;
Then suffer on from year TO year
Thy sole relieft the searching tear.
Go kneeI as I have khelt,
Implore, beseech, and pray
Strive the besotted heart To melt,
The downward course TO stay
BE dashed with bitter curse aside,
Go weep as have wept
Ger loved ather's fall.
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gail
ldfe's fading flowers strewed all the way,
That brought me up to woman's day.
Gosee what have seen,
Behold the strong man bow
With gnashing teeth-lips bathed In blood,
And cold and iivid'bro
Go catch his whitening glance and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer,
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Mark her worn frame and wfthered brow;
The gray that strealxs her dark hair now;
With fading frame and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose pliglted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and TRUTH
But who, fOreswOrn, yielded up
That promise to the cup,
And led her down through love and light,
And all that made her promise bright
And chained her there'mid want and strife
That low thing-a drunkard's wife
And stamped ON childhoOd's brow, so mild
That whitening blight-the drunkard's child
Go hear and feel, and see and know,
All that my soul has felt and known
Then look upon the wine cups glow;
See IL its beauty can atone
Think II its flavor you can try,
When all proclaim, its drink and die?
Tell me HATE the bowl p
Hate is a feeble word
loathe-abhor-my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred
When see, or hear, or tell
OF that dark beverage Of Hell,

quite an interesting conversation
took place in relation to the public
services of Willie Blount, the war

and ex-GOv. Porter was requested
to prepare a sketch of that vigorous
and intelligent gentleman, whose
services prepared and insured the
victory OF Gen. Jackson at the bat

AN UNHAPPY MISTAKE,

he did to Governor Foster, Of Ohio, who
suggested the issuance of a proclamation set

on, for the welfare and recovery of the presi-
dent OF the United States from the recently
attempted assassination. Il is to be regret
ted, too, that he has not put forth some bet
ter reasons than lie did for the refusal 10
coalesce in the general plan. On the very
day on which the dark d ed was dore
the people of the state Of Texas without II =
gs'd to party or TO creed, or to tho inspiri &

denounce the criminal and to express their
