this which has suddenly transformed me
into n Prctcndcr, though was not one
the day before" The pcriIs of the Re
public DO not spring from the Princes,
but from Constitution drawn up by
Royalists, but shaped into an instrument
OF Jacobin oppression. "By what social
improvements have you justified your
rule? You have neither been able to
respect the ConcOrdat nor to abolish it,
to continue free traders nor TO become
protcctioniStS, TO reform taxation nor to
defend it, to soften international I'M

Prescription has commenced, and CON

the Princes will be expelled, and then
the Chamber will be driven to the Iloi

Napoleon might, had he chosen, have

TME CONTENTION.

The Democratic Convention which
met at the court house on Saturday
last, was composed of representative
democrats from all sections of the
county, though not as large a meet
ing as we haYe seen here on some
other occasions. The meeting was
harmonious, and its action will meet
the appreciation of nineteen-twenti-
eths of the democratic voters of this
county. The resolutions adopted
speak with no uncertain sound upon
the questions presented therein,
and are democratic to the core. They
show beyond questions that the
democrats of this, the banner
democratic county of Tennessee, are
in line with the great body of the
party IN the state, upon the Blair
Educational Bill, and the principle
Of railroad regulation by the States.
They show that the democrats OF
this county were able to penetrate
the veil which was thrown around
the educational scheme, and to dis
cover the object and purposes of Its
author. and the covert workings of a
measure gotten up for the double
purpose of depicting the treasury IN
the interest of a protective tariff,
and to give fatal stab to the demo
cratic doctrine of states rights, and
local self government. For if the
Democratic party admits that the
general government has the power
to donate money to the maintenance
of our common schools, it thereby
admits that it has the power tc
assume absolute control of the same
to the exclusion of the states. If the
general government has the consti.
tutional right to take control of our
schools, can 1t not, with equal pro
priety, arrogate to itself the righr
to control the entire domestic affairs
of a state?
For the Democratic party to adj.
NIT this power, would be a surrender
of every principle of constitutional
construction, for which it has eve
commended. The authors of thi
measure believed that the democrat,
would look only to the money in
volved in the matter, and in thei
eagerness to get that, would loos,
sight of the principle. The readi
ness with which many democrat
haYe swallowed the tempting morsa
shows that the Republicans werr
not far wrong in their calculations

Some of Mr.. RandalPS constitu-.

men of his state have petltioned
Congress TO cut down the tariff and
the Randall Club, of Philadelphia,
has assumed another name. 1t also
passed resolutions endorsing the
Morrison Tariff Bill, and denounced
Mr.. Randall for his opposition to it
1t would seem that the workIngmen
are beginning to see the falsity of
the claim that they are benefited by
a protective tariff. They are begin
ming to see that they are not pro
tected against the pauper labor of
Europe, and that the employers
take all the profits, while they ale
forced TO pay high prices tor every
thing they buy.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

A charter for a railroad from
Middleton, Tennessee, by the way
of Bolivar, Brownsville, Friendship,
and Newbern, to the Kentucky
line, near Hickman, KY, has been
obtained, and the preliminary sur
vey will be made in short while.
The purpose Of the new company is
to unite with the Ripley r. r. which
is now being pushed sOuthwardly
from Ripley to Ship Island, on the
Gulf, and make a continuous line
from the Gulf to the Mississippi
River, at Hickman. A meeting
Of our citizens was held on Tuesday
evening, at the court house, in the
interest of the new road, and to
select FIVE charter members from
this place, the other charter mem
bers having been selected from
Brownsville, Friendship, and New
bern, whose names we failed to get.
Messrs. Austin Miller, g. T. In
gram, FRANCIS Fentress, Samuel
Kahn, and Jesse Norment, were
selected by the meeting as the
incorporators from this county.
Short, but enthusiastic speeches
were made by several of the gem
tlemen present. The only thing
necessary to secure this much needed
Enterprise, is to arouse the people
along the proposed route to q pro
per conception of its Importance.
With this road, the proposed road
from Nashville to Memphis. can also
be brought by this place. With
either, or both of these roads, Boil
var would soon become one of the
best towns in West Tennessee, and
Hardeman County would be one of
the most prosperous counties III the

miles of railroad as any county in

line, will come up to the help Ofthe
gentleman who are endeavonng to
secure this road, it will be built.
