Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1857-07-30
WrLInW RAEn

Ar. STEPHENS has at length been endorsed
in his lueubrations, written from willow Banks,
by fhe Wing and American Club Of Memphis.
We judge they have had a mighty struggle to
bring themselves up to the issue. Ths Demo
cratic papers of the District printed the IA
nous letter a few days after Mr.. STEFHENs'
nomination. They have kept it before the
people constantly from that time to The present
Mr.. AVERY has rad fTom every stump in the
District the choicest extracts contained in it,
And vet the Know-Nothing organs have never
yentured to defend, extenuate or even mention
Il, until our fseetious evening eotenPorsry-ths
Nsvs-yesteTday issued a supplement giving
this chasts an elegant document to the world
and announcing its endorsement b. the Wing
and American Club Of MenPhis." This is in
deed slow work. We can imagine the feelings
Of the Wing and American candidate as he
trarersed the District under the Ere Of this
heavy ordnance, taken from bis own arnory,
eoolly and meTeilsssly piled from day to day,
without one effort to rescue him from Its force,
BY his own chosen friends and comrades.
We'll might be have exclaimed to bic disnsyed
associates, @CaIl you this backing your
frieDds?" Deep and dreadful must have been
bis modification at finding that even his sup
POrtsTs shruHk from the sEOwsl Of the send-
ments Of bitter, relentless and vulgar hatred to
the Democracy which are embodied in that
epistls written, it Is true, In the confidence Of
private correspondence, but Tor hat very reason
more likely to express the true impulses Of the
writer. The leaders Of bis party may have
secretly entertained the SANE opinions.
But they publicly bssitstsd 10 sTOw them
They have aeveT, to cur knowledge, brought
themselves to the point Of standing up sguarsly
and endorsing them until the announcement Of
yesterday. What . change has come over the
spirit Of their drsan"2 Has Mr.. sTErEESs
limited 10 them that their course was not quite
Is ~vslorOus az IL ought to be-that almost at
the last hour they eonsforWard and boldly say,
WE ENDoEsE Tr"? Do they sbsurdly sup
pose that such transparent tactics can break
the force Of a denuneiztion which would more
fly have emanstsd from Grub street than
from WM. Il. s-EFHExs? Do they suppose
that the Democrats Of the Tenth District, and
the OG-Lns Wings, who assisted them in Civ
ing Mr.. BUcHkNAS a majority in the District
at tie late election, can see the appropriate
ness OF sending TO Congress a man who has de-
nounced Nr BUcHANAS in the eosrsest vein
whes he vii Be reduced to the alternative Of
either supporting his Administration OF OF

these wings and Americans" never more
pomit their disturbed bile at AKDEEw JoHS-
sOx after they have brought themselves to the
melancholy point Of issuing a special hand

1asnt which can aspiret to the poor Pre-eninenes
OF having exhausted the vocabulary Of vituPs-
ration against JAMEs BUCHANAN and the Dem
oerstic party. Let the Democracy see to it
that such a Representative OF such a party
never represents them in TIE Congress Of the
