"dried up." Strangers and visitors never

PEN AND SCISSORS.
Our Democratic exchanges are still
discussing the propriety of nmiring the de
mand of Southern Senators for Congres
sional protection in the Territories, a test
of party fealty. Upon this subject the
Memphis Appeal holds the following lan
guage :
Again : The people of the South are not so
absurd as to exhaust their energies in pursuit
ot an impossibility. With an adverse majori
ty in Congress, they perceive the impractica
bility of protective legislation for slavery in
the territories. If they ask for bread, they
will be given a stone. If they demand inter
vention, they will get it—with a vengeance.
If they invoke the aid of Federal legislation,
they will contract an alliance most fatal to
their interests. The jurisdiction of Congress
being admitted, the overwhelming majority of
Northern representatives will employ it for
the restriction anti suppression of slavery in
the Territories. Seward will eagerly avail
himself of the indiscreet concession to pro
cure a repeal of the pro-slavery statutes in
New Mexico ; ami file a (vantage will be pursu
ed, till slavery will be swept from every spot
within the jurisdiction of the Federal Gov
ernment.
The people of the South are incapable of
the folly implied in the advocacy of Congres
sional intervention. The Democracy, espe
cially, will never commit themselves to a poli
cy so fatal to the interest- of the South, to
th- unity of he party, and to the existence of
the Republic.
-- The Washington States one of the
mast reliable State-Rights journals in
the Union, in an article endeavoring to
account for the defeat of the Democracy
in Connecticut, uses the following lan
guage upon the same subject :
The northern Democracy already staggered
under the weight of their services to the South,
the support of the fugitive slave law, the re
peal of the Missouri restriction—these and
other equivalent affronts to the Abolition sen
timent of their section, had reduced them to a
miserable minority. Nevertli less, they fought
on with invincible resolution and indexible
fidelity to the Constitution—willing to endure
present contumely and defeat, in expectation
of the ultimate triumph of truth and reason.
In this critical contingency they are appall
ed by a demand for still further and still more
embarrassing concessions. It is not enough
that they should sanction slavery in its most
objectionable aspect, by aiding in the recap
ture of the fugitive negro—it is not enough
that they should admit slavery into the Terri
tories under cover of the Constitution—it is
not enough that ther should consent to reverse
tae traditional policy of the Government and
to accept the illimitable extension of southern
institutions—it is not enough that they should
fetter the arm of Congress, hitherto so active
and efficient in the restriction of slavery, and
evoke the dormant energies of the judiciary for
its protection in the federal domain—all these
things, and more besides, the northern De
mocracy have yielded ; but their southern as
sociates are not yet content. They must
AGREE TO E Si PLOT THE TOWER OF THE Gov
taXMEXT FOR THE FROFASATION OF SLAVERT.
It i* a condition they cannot accept. It is an
ext:'. :? lor which they were not prepared
after the solemn recognition of son-inter
vextiox. among the fundamental principles
of the party. What wonder if the northern
Democracy now surrender in despair?
While we adhere to the declara
tion made by as some weeks since, that
the Southern Democracy could not sup
port the nominee of the Charleston Con
vention, except upon the express condi
tion of a repudiation of squatter sover
eignty, ye{ consistently, with what we be
lieve to be the best interests of the South,
and of the Democratic party, we can
not join the general chorus in making this
demand of our northern brethren. It would
completely denationalize the Democratic
party, and render it powerless for resist
ing sectionalism in 1360. Independent
of the serious schism it would occasion in
the ranks of the only party possessing
sufficient nationality to resist Black-Re
pub! icanism, it would be exhausting the
energies of th“ South in pursuit of an im
possibility. To demand a congressional
slave code for.our protection in the terri
tories would in no wise have the effect ol
placing our defence upon the strongest
possible guarantee. While in law and in
point of fact, there would be a wide differ
ence between congressional protection
■ nd congressional prohibition, yet the pub
lic mind at the North could not, with its
natural prejudices against us, be brought
to see it and it would only establish a pre
cedent which a sectional majority would
fieri ert to uui damage at some future time
U the nowling ot factious demagogues lit
Congress so grateful to our ears that we
must re-open its hideous clamor. In our
opinion it is better to let the spirit of fa
naticism look to its own fertile invention
for nourishment—better to convince abo
litionists that all we require of them is to
let slavery alone—that we trust to the
constitution and the common law for its
protection outside of organized States—
that we deny them power to interfere be
tween the slave and his owner any where—
that we will appeal from the fanatical
prejudices of northern members to the en
during charter of Federal rights made by
our ancestors before abolitionism was
dreamed of. It seems better to trust to
the perpetual guarantees of slave-holders
with becoming pride, than to ask for legis
lative favors from a body composed in pnri
of our enemies. Southern emigrants to
territories peopled by u northern majority
may suffer inconvenience for a time, but
it is not necessary to add to other annoy
ances the humiliation of begging protec
tion of an abolition Congress.
-The Quid-Nunc speaks thus of
one of the most remarkable public men of
the day :
But after nil. Senator Johnson is a man of
tremendous force of character. He may be
proud, but he has something besides < plcbe
ianism’ to be proud of. He possesses the high
est element of greatness, in all its purity and
simplicity. He is a sincere, earnest man.
There is no sham about this great, shaggy,
blackmaned lion, who was whelped in the
mountains, and whose lair is still there!
Such is his force of character, so desperate
ly in earnest ishe always, that we are very
much afraid he is equal to the task he propos
es to himself—the Jackson exploit of over
riding conventions, and having himself pro
claimed and elected as the Peo[ le’s Candidate
for the Presidency. His elevation to that last
pinnacle of success, however, we believe
would reform him—would take all the malice
out of his plebeian heart, all the starch out of
his grim, stifF-uecked, bull-headed hatred for
‘ gentlemen.’
Certain we are, there is much Cromwellian
stuff in him—much of that roval metal which
founds great houses and big fortunes—much of
that kingly art of controlling, which lifts its
possessor up and places him on the backs of
men, to ride them legitimately, by hook or by
crook, whether they will or no !
Let the truth be told 1 Andy Johnson is a
great man in many respects—a man of indefi
nite latent force—a very Lion of the Tennes
see Democracy. But he is not the best man
in the world, or in the State. He is neither
as good-natured, nor as genial, nor as strictly
honest, nor as gentlemanly as he ought to be.
And this we are' ready to verify, to the best of
our knowledge and belief.
-Appropos of the Presidetial ques
tion the same paper has the following:
A Young American friend suggested the
other day. in our presence, the following Dem
ocratic ticket for 1860:
“ For President,
John C. Breckf.nripgk, of Ky. .
For Vice-President,
Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia.”
“But,” we suggested, “Mr. Pryor is not
quite old enough, being yet under thirty, if we
mistake not; and besides, both gentlemen are
of the South.” So, he concluded that ticket
wouldn’t do, and proceeded to nominate Mr.
Dickinson, of New York, for Vice-President,
in the place of Mr. Pryor. We agreed that
would do pretty well. “But what do you
think of this ticket? ” we asked:
“ For President.
Ssephen A. Douglass, of Illinois.
For Vice-President,
A. H. Stephens, of Georgia. ”
“O,” said lie, “I like Douglass well enough,
and so do the masses of the South ; but the
truth is, most of our politicians, somehow or
other, are against him, and, if he is nominated,
I’m afraid they wouldn’t or couldn’t fight for
him with that vim which would be necessary
to elect him. As for Aleck Stephens, lie’s a
trump, on any ticket, either at the head or tail
of it, and few would object to him.”
-Tim Nashville Union <S' American
hits ofT the Ogle stories of the opposition
in regard to Democratic extravagance and
corruption, by showing that the opposition
is extravagant from principle. “ That par
ty, ” says the Union <$' American, “de
mands more protection for certain special
and sectional interests.”
To produce a necessity for this protection,
it fosters a system of excessive expenditures.
It favors a wasteful system of Internal Im
provements. It builds forts and harbors at
every inlet. It favors pension laws, which re
quire millions. It advocates an enlarged army
and navy. It recommends the abandonment of
the national domain; and all this for what?
That the expenses of the government may re
quire a heavier duty on foreign manufactures.
We challenge examination, and it will be
found that the Opposition in Congress have vo
ted for every measure of expenditure which
has been calculated to produce an increase of
the tariff. The Opposition, then, is extrava
gant on principle. It deems the waste of pub
lic money as legitimate a means of promoting
the public in'erests, as the farmer does the
agents of agricultural imnrovement which he
scatters upon his fields to euhance their pro
duction.
-As a faithful chronicler of the
“ signs of the times” we notice that the
Cuba sentiment is gaining strength every
Jay. And what is especially cheering to
Southern Democrats is that men of our
party everywhere, from Tamany to Tor
tugas, are arraying themselves in behalf
of this great measure of Southern expan
sion. On the other hand the Republicans
and what Col. Pryor terms “ the new line
whigs” in apparently a spirit of mere
wanton opposition, are coming out craven
!y against it.
-The A etc York Tribune in the
course of some remarks upon the law
recently passed by the Legislature of this
State expelling free negroes from our
midst says :
“ The State of Arkansas was cradled, nursed
and reared in what. In the swindling cant of
our political confidence-men, is termed De
mocracy- It has never had any other than a
Democratic Governor, Legislature or Senator
in Congress, and but once, by chance, for a few
days, a Whig member of the House. Xo Har
rison tornado, no enthnsiasm for Old Zack,
was ever able to shake the Democratic con
stancy of Arkansas. She has ever been the
most uniformly, reliable Democratic State in
the Union.”
The Tribune is correct. Arkansas has I
ever been reliably Democratic, and as
such has zealously guarded against the ^
kindred evils of abolitionism and free- (
negroism. The inference conveyed by its (
language may suit the purposes of its abo- 1
iiiion followers nt the North, but it will j
hardly benefit the allies at the South.

FROM WASHINGTON
YV asrinotok, April 12.—Lord Lyons
to-day presented to the President his cre
dentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Min
ister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Ma
jesty. In doing so he gave utterance to
the most profound feelings of friendship of
his government for that of the United
States, and expresses the hope that the lies
of amity would be drawn still closer. The
President warmly reciprocated the senti
ments announced. The interview was of
a more than usually cordial character.
The impression prevails that Judge
Karuett, of Penn., wiTTtie appointed supei
iutendant of Public Printing.
Ex-Congressinau Groesbecg, of Ohio,
according to the representations of iiis most
intimate Iriends, has been offered the ap
pointment of Commissioner of Police.
Although the Government has nothing
more than the telegraphic accounts con
cerning the recognition of the Juarez Gov
ernment by Minister McLane, it gives full
credit to the intelligence. Enough has
transpired to warrant the assertion that
Senor Mata will be received as Minister
to the United States on his return to YVash
ington. YVhen Mr. McLane went to
M exico, M iratnon was represented to be in
force before Vera Cruz, and the issue was
doubtful. He went thither with a full un
derstanding that if Miramon was defeated
at that point he was to recognize the Lib
eral Government, Hence the determina
tion of bis action in the premises.
It is understood here as a reason why
Mr. Forsyth was not sent back to Mexico
as United States Minister was that by
recognition of the Zuloaga Government, he
rendered himself unpopular with the Lib
eral party, nud hence it was considered
that his usefulness would be impaired.
The Hon. John Letcher, the Democrat
ic candidate for the Governorship of Vir
ginia, is in this cilv, en route to resume the
canvass in the central and southern portions
of the State.

acted in the Interior Department, occupy

times till midnight.
The receipts of the Patent Office, during
last mouth, are said to be $14,000 over the
expenses.
The case of O'Flynn, the Postmaster at
Detroit, about which there has been much
interest of late, has been investigated. So
far, it is thought he will resign.
The Republicans intend firing a hundred
guns to-morrow afternoon, in honor of
Jefferson's birthday, and of the Republican
victories in the recent State and Municipal
elections.
Hard Money.—An apt illustration
will sometimes enforce a proposition more
strongly than volumes of argument. Of
this class of illustrations, the following,
from quaint old Adam Smith, strikes us
as one of the happiest. Allow us to offer
it for publication as we find it repeated in
Say’s Political Economy :
“ The capital of a nation he likens to
an extensive tract of country, whereupon
the cultivated districts represent the pro
ductive capital, and the high roads the
agent of circulation, that is to say the mon
ey that serves as the medium to distribute
the produce among the several branches
of society. He then supposes a machine
to be invented for transporting the produce
of the land through the air; that machine
would be the exact parallel of credit pa
per, or bank notes. Henceforward the
high roads might be devoted to cultivation,
(that is, gold and silver being locally less
valuable, would seek other countries, where
it could be more profitably used.) The
commerce and industry of the country,
however, he continues, though they may
be somewhat augmented, cannot be al
together so secure, when they are thus, as
it were, suspended on the Dtedalian wings
of paper money, as when they travel
about on the solid ground of gold and sil
ver. Over and above the incidents to
which they are exposed from the unskill
fulness, (and he might have added the
corruptness) of the conductors of this pa
per money, they are liable to many others
from which no prudence or skill of those
conductors can guard them.”
Commend us to honest old Adam Smith!

TheBankof Tennessee Disme.wb er
ed.—On arid after the first day of Sep
tember next the Bank of Tennessee and
Branches are required to pay out only
such notes as are on the face redeemable
in gold at the counter where issued. This
bank must obey the letter of the law ; the
Union and Planters’ bank refused to be
governed by the Legislature in this mat
ter.
One branch of the Bank of Tennessee
can not issue aud pay out the notes of
another branch of the same bank. Of
course it can not receive the other branch
notes unless the arrangement is previously
made for the redemption of the notes. No
bank can continue to receive on deposit
and in payment of debts the notes of other
banks which they are forbidden to pay out.
In a very short space of time the home i
issue would be exhausted and all deposi- 1
tors would have to pay in gold. By this
act of the Legislature the Bank of Ten
nessee is dismembered—it can no longer
act as a unit. Each branch is in effect an j
independent hank, relying on its own re
sources—holding the branches as they do
other hanks, in war enemies—in peace
friends.
Tne mother bank will probably no Ion- -
ger attempt to redeem the bank notes at 1
Nashville—for they cannot do this without j
keeping on hand two dollars in gold for .
one in paper. This will prevent Nash- <
ville from being the money centre of the '
Stale, and it is probable that all the branch- ,
es will be able to take care of themselves (
and furnish a sound currency to the peo- t
pie.—[Clarksville Chronicle.
