MR.. BROWNLOW.

The Washington Globe seems to have lost
sight Of all decency and self-respect (f it ever
had any in attempting TO regain the lost conf
dence of it's party. One would think that the
organ of the party in the Federal City would
cuniine itself in its discussions TO the material
issues which will be determined by the coming
elections; but instead of attempting to enlighfen
the people by caLdid augmentation upon the
subjects of bank tariff, distribution of the land
fund.- &c, it daily emits the most filthy and abb
surd calumnes which it can pick up in the four
quarters OF the earth, with which it attempts to
blind and delude the people in the exercise of the
elective franchise.
In that paper OF Thursday is story charging
the editor of Wing paper the Jonesborouob
Wing, with the crime of suborning murder. Sup
pose it were true, should the Wing party in the
United States wheel around, abandon all their
cherished principles, and vote for James K Polk
because one Wing or one thousand Wings may
deserve the galows'
such are the contemplate means which thu
1looe daily resorts 10 for the purpose Of drawing
OIL public attention from the great issues at stake
between the Wings and Locofocos.
The Globe makes the charge against the Wing
editor, Mr.. Brownlow upon the authority of a
Lncofoco paper printed at the same place. We
give Mr. B7ownlow's reply, which conclusvely
refutes the SANDER VIII the Globe have tho

JACKSON, MISS July 22 1874.
If the Wings in this State use The 81 oper ex-
ertions, Mississippi may be carried for Clay and
Frelnghuysen. She gave large majority for
ii 'rrlson, aud the same result may again be
achieved if the Wings will but work and organ
liz. But two of our electors have yet started on
their duty-Guinn and Bradford; both are eff
cient, able, and prominent men. 81

at the nomination of Polk over Van Buren, Ex-

DISUNION IN GEORGIA.

At the meeting OF the Locofncos, held ia the
City Hall grounds, in this pace, on Monday eve
ming last, one of the orators the occasional
gentleman of this ciiy-declared, boldly, unequi-
vocally, and unreservedly. that the party with
which he is associated, are determined upon he
immediate annexation of Texas, regardless Of ali
consequences !"
There is no installing such language, nor its
object. 1t points as distinctly to the dlsmember-
ment of this Union, unless the niquitous object
Of annexng the Mexican province of Texas to
this Confederacy is acceded to by the people, as
any declarations from the avowed Disunonsis
Of South Carolina. No other construction can
be put upon this bold avowai of the Locofoco
orator.
Let us now ask the " Democracy" of Georgia,
if this is the object they are aiming at! Let us
ask the "Union men" who uphold the banner Of
"Polk and Texas" whether declarations such as
we have given above truly express their seni-
mcnts? Is it come to this, that they will hear
DIsUNIoN boldly preached, and not feel alarmed
for the preservation of that Union which once
they were willing to peril their lives to sustain {?
How will they answer?
The times are ominous indeed, if the people
can keep their eyes longer closed to the alarmieg
movements of the " Polk, Texas, and Disunion"
leaders. Citizens of Georgia, wake up to the
terrible crisis which is before you Check this
disorganizlng spirit while it is yet is the grizzle !!
Crush DIsUNloN, in whatever shape it may pre-
sent itself to you, before the foul end has attain
ed its full growth and strength !-Augusta (Ga. J

justice and caAdos to publSh Mr, Hrownlow's
statement or will the editor persist In the propa-
CATION of the calumny when he is convinced of
its falsity!
Mr.. Brownlow has way of shilling off, Lo-
cofocos with his pen, but unless we much mistake
him, he is far too honorable to injure, much less
TO murder his neighbor.
"To THE PUBLIc.-In the Jonesborough Sent-
mel of last week there was statement signed
by brother of ours, Alexander Brownlow, in
which he is made to say that we proposed to him,
after we had difficulty with L. C. Haynes in
1910, that he should waylay said Haynes and
kill him. This falsehood is published for effect
abroad, and upon the authority of brother of
ours, who is styled Doctor Brownow,' from the
fact Of his having attempted to read medicine
with DR.. Vance before he had destroyed himself
by liquor.
II the facts Of our never having had any con-
versation with him since 1889, and of our not
now being on speaking terms, together with his
Democracy were understood at distance as
they are here, we would not be warranted in
even this notice. No enemy Of ours, even here
where they are most bitter, believes this new
charge, and therefore we say nothing more about
itD

EAST 'rENNEssEE.-The intelligence from this
indomabe Wing region continues to be mo
cheering. A letter from an intelligent source at
Knoxville, dated July 26, says, "Mr. Bell has
been handling Turney in just such way as you
might expect, knowing both the men as you do.
By the time he finished his discussion here, it
seemed that the very shadow Of Locofocoisrn had
taken its everlasting flight The Knoxville pa
pers bring us full accounts of the meeting.
Senator Foster, we learn also, arrived st Knox

Convention, and made an able and eloquent speech
in the evening at the Court House, which was

short.

CHANGEs.-In the parade of changes by the
organs of the two parties, the Democrats" labor
under this unfortunate disadvantage. Before
we need begin to herald those in our favor, the
Democrats should convert 10000 majority we
had in lS40, in order that both parties might start
fair. Even in the present method of computa-
ton between the two parties, the Democrats
suffer most egregously their arhmeical cal
culations are crab-like, lose two figures to one
they galn--a kind of reduction descending"
and will terminate in reductio od a6surdum.
When we begin to seriously enumerate the
changes in our favor, we shall begin with States,
and thus dispose of the seven that require change.
Virginia we shall first claim illinois and Mis-
sour next; we will give South Carolina to Polk,
and Texas too, since the first is determined to be
annexed to The last. Alabama, Arkansas, and
New Hampshire, we may claim, or may not we
have not concluded to receive them.

BoTH SIDES OF THE TRAcK-At the Locofoco
meeting held in Peekshill week ago last Satur-
day, fine specimen of the new Polk way of run
ming both sides of the road at once was beauti
fully exhibited. Gen. Ward got up and made a
very fair tariff speech, euogizing the Congress
that passed it, and proudly ranked himself among
those v no voted for the tariff act of 1912. The
General took his seat with bow, as much as to

SATURDAY EVENING. AUG. 10. 1874.
THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.

The Locofocos, in 1912, had majority in the
Legislature of twenty-four. This majority has
been annihiated BY the recent elections, and
Wing majority will now range from thirty.two to
forty. One would think there was very little in
this result TO rejoice the hearts OF the Locofocos
and yet the Globe pretends to be pleased with it.
In the gubernatorial election, there will be,
perhaps, slight Locofoco gain upon the vote of
1912, which, however is easily accounted for
Mr.. Morehead ran ahead of the Locofoco cand-
date. Mr.. Henry, BY nearly 5000 votes, notwith-
standing the majority of twenty-four which the
Locofocos elected, at the same time, to the Lee
gi.lature. The reason of this discrepancy is well
understood in North Carolina. The popular
strength lies in the western part of the State !:
Mr.. Morehead is western, and very popular
man: Mr.. Henry, on the other hand, resides in
the southeastern section of the State, and e, with
al, a uery unpopular man, Add 10 these circum-
stances, that the western people are in some de-
gree jealous of The east, and ambitious Of eecting
Governor ON that quarter, and there remains
no d.f6culty in accounting for the handsome Wing
gubprn turia majority, While in, the Legislature
the other p,rty was far ahead
But, in the present election, the I.ocofocos la.
bored under no such drawbacks. Mr.. Hoke is
highly popular man, and resides in the western
part of The State, while Mr. Graham, who is equal
ly popular, resides in the middle region so far
as The position OF their candidate goes, therefore.
they had an advantage in the late contest, and
the result is rather more favorable to them in the
gubernatoris vote than their inherent strength
warrants.
But between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Polk in No.
vember, the popular vote will be very different
Mr.. Clay is highly popular, and universally known
and appreciated by his friends and enemies. His
friends support him with an ardor of enthusiasm
which far exceeds that felt in behalf of General
Harrison, with whose name and history they we're
less familiar. But Mr.. Folks name can enkindle
enthusiasm no nchere-at home nor abroad He
is mere man of straw, and SO far from giving
strength and influence to cause, must be mill.

KENTUCKY AND INDIANA ELECTIONS.


postscript in the Cincinnati Atlas of the 9th

the substance Of which is as follows:
KENTUcKy.-The returns from Kentucky arc
highly favorable. Judge Owsley, (the Wing can
didate for Governor,) runs fully up with the Le-
gisatve ticket, while Dixon, 1.-THE Wing candi-
date for Lieut.. Goyernor,) goes ahead Of it in al
most every instance. Our returns are from Old
ham, Trimble Carroll, Gallatin, and Boone coun-
ties-the latter complete for the first day. The
vote is very full, the party lines appear TO be
strictly drawn, and we anticipate an old fashioned
Wing majority. n#
INDIANA-From Indiana we have news suf6-
cieat to say that the Locos have carried Dearborn
county by about their usual majority, and have
probably elected their Legislative ticket in Dear
born and Ohio, which together elect three men,
