II. CHEATHAM, or Davidson FOR THE LEGISLATURE. iv. n. nritLEY.

The nomination, on Monday last, of N. B. Dudley as a candidate for the Legislature, nearly 'completes our ticket. Mr. Dudley is a man of fine judg mcnt and good debating powers, and will make a good fight in the good cause.

Let his friends, at once, go to work in earnest, resolved to cryry him triumphantly through the contcBt, and, in aiding him, strengthen the District and State ticket to the extent of their ability. It is not right, generous, or politio to put men on a ticket and then leave them to fight their own battles. Opposition to locofocoism is a common cause with all who repudiate its policy and despise its corruption, and a a. cacn individual memDer snould act as though the result of the election rests upon his efforts. All are equally interested in the result, and he that fails to do his part according to his ability, fails in the dis charge of a very high duty.

Then let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, and loose no opportunity to advance the -good work. We predicted, before the meeting of the locofoco State Convention, that its resolution on the currency, would be two faced one to be turned towards the hills and hollows, the other, towards commercial localities. That we were right, is now made apparent by the positions of the Appealing the Avalanche the former the organ of the Softs, the latter, of the Hards The Appeal announces to its readers tha the resolution pledges the party to a Bound paper currency, convertible, at the will of tho-holder, into specie. The Avalanche admits. that there is a want of directness and clearness in the language of the plat form, but by putting three of the resolu tions together, it arrives at the conclusion that the party is committed to the ultimate abolition of all banks, and a return to hard money.

One resolution declares gold and silver to be the constitutional currency another declares that banks are ho engrafted upon tho monetary arrange nicnts of the country that even democracy can not eradicate them and a third, de clares that the Legislature shall reserve the right to rescind, at pleasure, the charters of all private corporations. These three resolutions the Avalansh dovetails together and makes a hard money plank for the Hards to stand upon, and prepares the way for a hard fight on both sides of the question, but in perfect harmony between tho disagreeing factions of the locofoco party. The ring of specie in to be heard among tho hills and hollows, ami bauk notes are to rustle iu the towns and cities, and the parties to this fraud ore to pull together in perfect harmony united by a single bond the spoils. Such is the locofoco platform, and such tho dibhoncst means by which the party hopes to achieve a victory. Capt.

Jaekson and Dr. Peyton opened the Congressional canvass, in the second District, in Kentucky, a short time since, when the latter, democratio candi date, in reply to the questions proponnded by tha former, placed himself in a position very antagonistic to tho South. He de clared that Douglass is a Simon pure de mocrat standing square upon the Cin cinnati platform; that he his views of the power of the people over the subject of slavery in the Territories alias squatter sovreignty that ho would vote for the little giant for President, and would not vote for a law of Congress to protect stove property in the Territories. Seward, Giddings seem pretty well content with this position, and it remains to be seen how far the people of Peyton's District will endorse such a concession to freesoilism. If the Cincinnati platform upon which Douglass stands flat-footed maintains the doctrines, that the rights of the slave holder, and a decision of the Supreme Court may be annulled by the unfriendly action of a parcel of squatters upon the national territory, then the southern delegates to that Convention either knowingly bartered away the rights of the South, or ignorantly suffered themselves to be over reached by their shrewder allies in the North, or, by collusion, fixed np a platform that could be construed to mean onethingin the South, and quiteanother in the North.

Either supposition fastens upon the south ern delegates, ignorance, or corruption. But, be this as it may, the recent course of Douglass, in maintaining the worst form of squatter sovreignty, that which wrongs the South by evading the Constitu tion, and contemning the Supreme Court and the decided stand taken by leading looofoco southern Senators against his glaring political heresy, ought to warn every southern man of the danger of endorsing that heresy now, whatever may have been done bofore the late debate in the Senate npon this subject If Douglass stands square npon the platform, he maintains its doctrines, and it sustains him but it does not folio that he or it should be now endorsed by the Sonth, because the South once endors ed both and he is not a safe reprcsenta tive of the institution of slavery who will do either under the coercion of party dis ciplino. Whatever may have been thought of the Cincinnati platform, two years ago. the construction given to it, by the North and the declaration of leading southern democrats, that the Kansas bill is swindle, furnish abundant reasons why no southern man should endorse Douglass, or his construction of tho platform but when, like Dr. Peyton, he does both, and then declares that ho would vote for no law to protect the slaveholder in a Terri tory, tho people ought to repudiate him as unworthy of their confidence.

Especi ally ought they to do this, when they see the locofocos of Virginia running a man for Governor, who is eulogised, by the abolition organ at Washington, for his anti-slavery antecedents. The man who labored for the abolition of slavery in western Virginia, is opposed to its ex tension, and that is the sole doctrine of the freesoilers and the man who insists that tho people of a territory have the Soma of the disunion organs of the South are beginning to discuss the measures thai should be adopted, in the event of the success of the Republican party, This is the first step to wards the same trick which gulled so many whigs into the support of Buchanan that is to frighten tho people by presenting the alternative of locofoco success, or dis union. It is a dishonest device that should call forth excerations from every honest heart, upon the heads of the knaves who conceived it. These same disunionists have never failed to act with the locofocos, of the Sonth, who gave birth to the Republican party, and who have signed, sealed, and delivered every conveyance of southern right that has been ceded to the freesoil party. They still cling to locofocoism, and their province is to sound the false alarms that are designed to frighten the timid, and afford a pretext to the knavish that the former may fly to the locofoco camp for safety, the latter, for plunder.

If the people would reflect, moment, they would see the folly of heeding these cries of alarm. If the pretended disnnionists were honest, in their assumed fears for the safety of the Union, would they cling to the only party that has ever endangered it? Look at S. Carolina I Has it ever given any other than a locofoco vote Yet, for years, has it been uttering threats of disunion, upon the plea, that the very party it supports, so administers the government as to op press the Sonth. If S. Carolina were honest, it would abandon that party, and try the effect of other measures.

But it either seeks disunion, and uses the cor rupt locofoco party as the means of effecting it, or it knows there is no danger, and plays the alarmist for a share of the spoils. Common sense can suggest no other solu tion consistency will tolerate no other. 9ST We conclude, to day, tha uteres- (ng story written by our correspondent at New Providence, and hope that our readers have derived as much pleasure from its perusal as it afforded us. We also resume the Novellette Lily Aylmer by onr fair correspondent in Mississippi It Jas bees unavoidably suspended for two weeks, but will now be regularly continued1; and as it is growing in intrest, wc commend its perusal to our both for tha sake of iu matter and manner. taT It seems that our County Convention, on Monday, did not exactly suit the taste of our neighbor of the Jvffirtonian, ami lut in down on it in a way peculiar to liir.iM-lf.

That it did not please him, we nan loJily imagino, and no ene will be surprised at it, when informed that the Convention was called, and its bui-iuuss transacted without the slightest reference to his tastes or wiahes, and without the least regard to what ho might think, or suy about it. From his remarks, ho is etik-ntly displeased; but we liopo the opposition will bo able to stand up under the weight of his wrath. ft tvj Our neighbor denies that tho de- iiincratio party is the. most corrupt one in tli'! country. Andy Johnson says this is tho most corrupt government iu tho world.

Of course the democratio party has made it so, for it has hud almost uninterrupted po.sbcsMon of the government for the last '(jurlcr of century. Andy Johnson, Toniibs, the Washington investigating com mil tees, and au endless host ot witnesses prove tho charge of gross cor ruption, and against all these, we have the avso" of the Jeffursonian to tho con- right and the power, in their territorial capacity, to exclude slavery, and who re fuses to extend the pi otection of Congress over the slaveholder, is opposed to the ex tension of slavery, and, whatever his opinions may bo, is the practical ally of tho freesoilers. These insidious thrusts at tho institutions of tho South, through its pretended locofoco friends, if not parried by the people, must, ultimately. prove fatal, and the man who supports Letcher or Peyton, however honestly, is work ins an extent of mischief for which there will soon be no remedy. The Bccond District of Kentucky lies broadside of ours, and is sepcrated from it only by a marked line, and we are very solicitous that the heresy, taught by Peyton shall not cross that line.

Locofocoism by its habits, is exceedingly liable to catch as well as to spread, infections from on to another of its votaries and not being thinking institution, if its safety is not care for by those who seo tho danger, they will continue to shako hands with Douglass and rub themselves against the Cincinnati piattorui, totally unaware that they are catching tho political itch by tho contact Davidson County, in the selectio of its candidates for the Legislature, ha done itself honor, and entitled itself to the thanks of iho Opposition, throughou the State. John Trimble and J. B. White are fitted, by their hih moral characte and intellectual powers, to grace any posi tion to vv.hich tho people can raise them aim tho lotty patriotism whicu alone ao tuated them in the acceptance of the posts assigned them, tho devotion to country which supplants every consideration private interest affords an example of unselfish loyalty, worthy of universal imitation. Such are the men, and such the spirit, to savo the Kopublio in the hour of peril, and to preserve its integrity in the season of corrupting prosperity, and heedless safety.

The Opposition in Louisville, suc ceeded in achieving a handsome victory, on Saturday last; though the Journal says the torrent of raia that fell in the evening, prevented many Americans from voting. The Washington Union hat been told to Gen. Bowman. It changea hands often, we suppose, npon the principle of rotation in office when one set gets fat by feeding from the publio erib, it gives place to another. County Convention.

Pursuant to previous notice, a large meeting; of the Opposition Party of Montgomery County, assembled at tha Court House In Clarksville, on Monday the 4th for the purpose of nominating a wa-didntc for the lower bouaa of the next Legislature; and also, to apjioint delegates to the Convention to be held at Dover, on the lrt Monday In May. Jas. K. Bailey, called the meeting to order, and on motion J. 0.

Shacklcford, was called to the chair, and 3. 8. Keblett appointed Secretary. On motion by Qen. J.

M. Quartos, the Chairman appointed tba following committee to report a list of delegates to attend the Senatorial Convention, vie J. K. Bailey, G. A.

Orgain, Before the Committee retired Maj. O. A. Henry offered tile following resolution, which wa adopted unanimously! Itetolved, Thnt we reeognixe In Col. M.

D. Davie, our representative for the two last sessions of the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, a faithful, able, and efficient public servant, and to whom we with one voire accord the plaudit, "well done Hartford, April 4. Tha Re publicans hare elected the entire Congressional delegation, a well as the whole State ticket and a large majority of tho Legislature. Fire Ordinance. Bt it ordained by the Mayor and Aldermen of the C.ty of CtarkmlU: 1st.

That in order to effect a more complete or ganization of the Fire Department of the City, It la hereby made the duty of each chnrtered or city Fire Company to furnish to the City Recorder, a quarterly itatement of tha number of efficient working men in tha tympany between the age of 18 and 60 years of age such itatement to be certified by the Captain and Secretary of each Company. 2d. If the itatement referred to in the preceding section show a force of forty or more such members, and If it further show thnt the Company have complete apparatus, capable at all time, at a moment's call of doing good service, the Mnyor is authorized and hereby directed to give said Compnnv. quarter ly, aa aforesaid, a credit on the Books of tho city, of f. 50, iio be drawn for by said Company, countersign, ed by the President and Secretary.

3d. The FlreCompany throwing the first water at any fire In the city, shall be entitled to a silver Cup, worth not lea? than 25, or the amount in money, to Mr. R. B. Cheatham, the Opposi tion candidate for Floater, spent a portion of the last and the earlier part, of the present week, in our town.

In the Connty Convention, on Monday, he was called to the stand, but, in the absence of his competitor, decliucd to make a speech, excused himself, in a few happy remarks pertinent to his position. Mr. C. is a working man made np of sound judgment, nntiring energy, and a seal commensurate with the importance of the cause in which he is enlisted. Such a man not only can't be beaten, but will out run the question.

Let the Opposition do its duty but half as well as he will do his, and, our word for it, the cause will be the gainer by his efforts. Our ticket, throughout the Dis trict, is one of marked ability let the party do its duty, and a glorious victory will reward their efforts. In what respect aro the Black Re publicans more inimical to southern rights, than aro the locofocos of the South The Republicans oppose the further extension of slavery, and contend that Congress has the power to prohibit it. The southern locofocos deny that Congress has such power, but concede that it has no power to protect slavery in the Territories, and that tho squatters upon the publio territorial domain have the right toexclude it. In other words, they endorse squatter so vreign ty "a better freesoil measure than the Wilmot proviso." Practically, where is the difference? If the squatters can exclude, and Congress can not protect, slavery, precisely the same end is reached for which the Republicans are striving; and the difference in the means is of no consequence whatever both are alike in-imincal to the South, and the Republicans have the advantage in the apparent honesty and directness of their mode of pro ceeding.

For tba Chronicle. Mr. Editor A few days since, while passing through your city, we had the' pleasure1 of receiving an invitation from the courteous and affable Dr. Hamilton, to visit the Clarksville Female Academy, of which he is the President, and truth com-pells us to say, we were never more delighted. Wa found it in a most flourishing condition, and our curiosity was at once gratified, when we readily observed the reason why this institution is attracting so much attention at hemeand abroad.

Feel ing an interest in this, as well as all other institutions of learning our inquisitiveness induced us to make some inquiries in regard to the history of its organization and its progress and wa were no less rejoiced than surprised to learn that it had been in operation but little more than 6 months, and that it now numbers some two hundred pnpils. These facts may be astonishing to those who are not personally acquainted with the distinguished, able and energetio Principal and the proverbial healthiness of its location. But to those who are acquainted with the fact, that Clarksville is one of the most healthy, as well as beautiful towns on the Cumberland river, and who are also acquainted with tha unparallelled urbane ty and energy of Dr. Hamilton, it cannot be a matter of astonishment that this In stitution is receiving so large a share of patronagejand is so rapidly distancing the most popular institutions of the couth The building itself is commodiously ar ranged, and admirably adapted to the health and comfort of the pupils. The rooms are large, well ventillatod and furn ished with everything that is necessary for the sotnfort and convenience of the board ers.

The adjacent grounds are most ele gantly improved and tastefully embelished, for the recreation of the young ladies, and neither pains nor expense are spared to make their academic duties as agreeable and fascinating aa possible. Dr. Hamilton is a thorough disciplina rian, and governs with firmness, tempered with mildness, and a paternal affection for those under bis instruction and govern ment. In short, we must say we have never had the pleasure of visiting an institution of learning where such universal good order and harmony prevailed, and where the pupils yielded such cheerful and implicit obedience. Kvery department in the academy is tiled with able and expert enced teachers.

From our knowledge of this institution and of the high and irre proachable character and superior qualifi cations ot the President, we would most confidently and earnestly commend it to the patronage of parents and euardians. who have daughters and wards to educate. as possessing superior advantages for a finished and thorough education. rrom present indications, we predict for the "Clarksville i'emale Academy a bril liant future. A PATRON.

Dover, March 28th, 1859. The news from Central America is more interesting than pleasing. Sir Gore Ousley, the British Minister, has over reached Old Buck and all his Cabinet, hivered the Ostend Manifesto platform, and nullified tho Monroe doctrino. A government that is weak, to imbecility, at home, can not be efficient abroad and its strictly partizan character requiring that active demagogues shall be rewarded, without regard to merit, must lead to weakness in all the departments. Lamar might as woll have been at home while Ousley was overreaching Old Buck but with a statesman there, it could not have happoned.

As fur as can judge, it is edited with ability and Judgment. VtU The Jcffersonian brings up the Gardner claim to prove the corruption of Mr.

Fillmore's administration. Now, just for information, we propound the follow ing questions, and ask a succinct reply. Was not the Mexican Commission appoin ted by Mr. Polk? Did not that Co mm is sion ucciuo trial mo uardncr oiuini was valid? Was there not a democratio majority in both houses of Congress when that claim was allowed, and for which our neighbor holds Mr. Fillmore responsible? And if these things are true, who is re sponsible for the Gardner swindle? as it is called.

Plain answers may enlighten the public, Wo regret to learn that the Hon Ed. II. Ewin has declined the nomination tendered him by tho Opposition of David son. But as a solace for this disappoint ment, we have the pleasure of announcing that John Netherland has accepted the nomination for Governor.
