TIE RAuEER

The task Of eDlighteniDg the Banner is hope
less one, For many years the UEIoN AID AlERI-
oAH has assiduousy abored to educate its benight-
ed neighbOr in sound doctrine, and to teach it 3
healthy and saving patriotism. We have always
found the Banner possessed of an inqUiring mind
and, on our earlier acquaintance with it, we often
INDUCED the hope that these inquiries were the re-
suit Of honest doubts and unsophisticsted igns-
rance. With this belief We used to answer its
questions, and to hope for reward for the labor
in q much needed reform Of its political morals.
But we long since abandoned this hope. In its
case. we are believers in the doctrine Of total po-
litical depravity Tle Banner is foreoEdained to
work only political evil, and that continually.
There is no use in praying for it, and just little
in endeaYoring to enlighten it. 1t is still in the
habit Of questioning Us on many subjects, as those
who read it know and we seldom notice these
questions, from the orthodox belief that it is 8
waste Of time to labor for the salvation Of those
who are predesiued for the service, of the Bad
One In short, 80 far as the Banner itself is con-
cerned, we long since came to the conclusion that
it was bound to Evil, and its salvation past our
praying for.
About year since, if we remember dates cor
rectly, the Banner proposed to Us q comparison Of
the relative "seundness" of LslVis D. Campbell, of
Ohio, and STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, of I.linois We
accepted its propostion-snd that soas the end Of
~ We have never been able to extract q word
of the promised comparison from that paper. 1t
O.Oss W. this comparison, and we claim the debt.
Again: the Banner has never yet told US what
Mr.. jobs BELL is going to dO-whether he will
hold his seat in the Senate or fulfill his pledge,
and resign.
There are g number of other unsettled accounts
between US, and which, with the cases just cited,
must be closed before the Banner attempts to start
/ new issues with Us.
1t is very likely that we shall, at. our leisure
and probably within the nextfew days, discuss the
article in yesterdays Banner, headed "Ar. Eth
| sridgss BOnb-ShsE There are points in it which
we shall be pleased to handle, for our own amuse-
ment 1t il for this reason only that we purpose
this notCe-thstit will please to take it-Wbeth-

POLITICAL

The voters Of Tennessee will be called on in Az.
gust next to elect Governor, Congressman and
members to the State Legislature That the man
who will be nominated by the Democratic Con-
vention that win meet in Nashville on the 18th Of
April viii be elected, there is but little doubt
Williamson, Wilson, Sumner, Cannon and Ruth
e-ford send member to the House Of Representa-
tiVes in Congress. Who shall it be? Williamson
and Rutherford send Senator to the State Ii ysla-
turP Rutherford herself sends Repre- sentative, and
Bedford and Rutherford send joint Representative
or Floater. On whom shall these honors be con-
ferred on the present year? We DO not propose
these questions with a view to begin the canvass
early, but that the people may begin to think in
time so that they may think deliberately and come
to wise conclusion. We think q e time has come,
after waiting long, FOR the democracy in this dis
trct and particularly in this county to be properly
represented; and we think it will do no harm for
the people to begin to look about with q view to
the selection Of candidates to represent them in
the national and in the State Legislatures. In Sc
lect candidates let no regard be bad to men far
ther than they may be consd red popular repre-
sentative Of our principles; and let desire for the
triumph Of principle be the governing motive in
making all nominations. We make these remarks
that our readers may begin to think, we do not
