The CANvAss-Thus far The canvass in Tennessee
opens most auspicouslv for the triumphant success
of the Democracy. We feel an honest pride in re-
cording the fact in all the counties in the State
where conventions have been held or popular as
sembles have convened, rejecting the sentiments
of the great Democratic party not one single item
has occurred or TRANSFERRED to mar that unity of
principle and feeling so proverbia among Demo-
Gratis when the principles of liberty are at stake or
the country endangered from the invasion of TO-
reign enemy from abroad, or political sworn band
of anti-Republicans at home. In the last Presi-
dentel Canvass, we had an easy going time of it,
the wing party so called having run itself entirely
out except in the four States of Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Vermont and Massachusetts, the four aces
of the wing party-and even those fearful, of future
results, have, with a few slight exceptions aban-
doned even the name of Whiggery and sold them
selves at a nominal price to the Know Nothings.
The name of whiggery exists only as shadow
of the past, thing TO be talked about by the peo-
pie, and mentioned occasionally by those papers
who have been the advocates of whig principles
heretofore, as something that has been, vision of
history, buried in the tomb of the capulets in 1882
gone glmmering through the things that were
and subsequently Galvanized into life under the
natural cognomen of Know Nothingism while the
Democracy, conscious ola just and honorable in
tegrity, standing upon the platform ofust and equal
rights, ever mindful of the duties incumbent upon
them and determined at all hazards and to the last
extremity TO maintain the principles of civil and
religious liberty in accordance with the precise
language, and within the common sense definition
OF the Constitution-stand finland challenge the
entire army OF all the factions 10 the conflict -
Andrew Johnson is the acknowledged leader of the
Democratic party in Tennessee, and upon his sue
cess, do we stake our political fortunes for the
time, with the full consciousness, that the result
will be not only bare achievement, but a victory
ofno common magnitude, moral in its tendencies
and glorious in its result.-Boli Democrat

The QUAKRRs Two CENTURIES Go--The Boston
Transcript IL giving an account Of the extension Of
Improvements IN that city, presents some curious
items IN reference 20 the Quakers, taken mostly
from The last number OF brakes History of Boston:
"Ihe first Qaakers who came to Boston arrived
IN Nay, 1856 The laws against the sect were
very severe in the Massachusetts colony, andevery
Quaker found in it was liable to the loss of one of
his ears. -Four of them were put 70 death
From the year 1894 to 1903 the Society of Friends
held regular meetings in Boston. This sect built
the FIRST brick meeting house in town. Its site is
believed to have been somewhere in tie neighbor-
hood Of that on which Braule street church now
stands. In 1908 the society sold their house Of
worship, and the town authorities refused them
permission to erect a new one OF wood. a second
brick ediice was erected on what was afterwards
known as Quaker lane, now Congress street. This
meeting house was destroyed in the great fire of
1850, but was Immediately replaced. The building
stood till April, 1925, when it was sold and re-
moved. Il had hardly been occupied for twenty
years. A neat stone edfce was soon erected in
Milton place, which is occasionally used for public
worship when all approved minister of the sect is
in the city, How differently the members of the
Society of Friends are now regarded from what
they were by the Massachusetts, eolonists in 1915,
when la was enacted subjectng every person
found at a Quaker meeting to be committed total
ito have the discipline of the house, and to be kept
to work with bread and water or else pay EST"

o. We were informed the other day that there
were 800 know-nothings in our county, and that
they were stealthily laying their plans TO secure
the election of certain namelesS unknolUn to the

tell-but one thing we DO know, that if such
thing is in progress it is the Vaccinations of whig-
gery-sn unholy concoction for the purpose of de-
feating the will a KNOWN majority aud sending
a wing representative from Sumner Prudence
then dictates that the democracy be wary and not
subject themselves the possibility of defeat by
dividing their strength between a multiplicity of
candidates. In no event can the democracy lose
aught by harmonious concert. Let them then stand
as a unit-concentrate upon some true man (such
we have now in the 6eld-we dsparage no other
democraD-and we will triumphantly elect him,
despite the assassin assaults of an smbushed foe
despite political potroons who too cowardly to

LEAVE THE LoDeEs--The rush of Democrats out
of the know nothing lodges has frightened the Or
der into the most villanous expedient Of selfpre-
servation. The applicatonssof members for with
drawal are invariably rejected on some frivolous
and false pretext, and they threatened, if they
dare to leave without permission with all the pen
aties of personal disgrace and social degradation.
By this infamous device it is hoped to arrest the
progress of decay and dissolution which threatens
the Order in its sudden and overwhelming ruin
There is no Democrat of the least manliness who
will be intimidated by any such impotent menace.
Men were seduced into the Order by promise of
permission TO leave it at their pleasure, and it is a
gross injustice aud outrage to reject their applica
ton for withdrawal They have a right to quit at
their pleasure, and il an "honorable dismissal be
denied them, why they viii leave and ask favors
The moment q member announces his separation
f'om the Order, he is sbsolved from every oblgs-
ton to obey its behesis. Mex are not slaves, tame
ly to submit to this base deception and grinding
despotsm. Richmond Enquirer.
