The National Era of last week SAYS:
The sigma! discontinue of Gov Wise in bis
efforts to supplant Mr. Hunter us United States
Senator, was ANYTHING but favorable augurr
Of his Presidential prospects. But the dc$pera-
ton Of the Black Democracy, and the utter hope
lcssncss Of tl!eir cause for l>to, with Lecomp-
f"nite Ut their head, has gradually undermined
their pride. aud prepared them to overlook Mr.
Nisc's past errors for The sake Of his supposed
arailability.' We hare remarked numerous
signs Of Nr. Wise's improving prospects, which
liz owes entirely tn his opposition to the Lc-
compton fraud, concocteu by his own party
friends. His star, for tue present at least, is IN
the ascendant, and VIC shall not be surprised if
he should become the candidate Of the party for
the Presidency. The Southern win. OF the par
II demand that the South shall hare the next
Presidential nomination. and Mr. Wis. is the
only prominen, Anti-Lecouptonlte Of the party
south Of Mason ind Dixon's line. Hence the
necessity Of forsivins his past ecccntrciy, since

Political vOIutIons,

In the discussion between Messrs. MENEEs and
QUARLRs at Goodlettsvil,e, The latter made an at

The speech ef this gentleman, at the Chattanocva
railroad depot, on Saturday night, in compliance
with the request Of large number Of citizens. was
one Of the aeless to which We have listened for
years In the commencement Of his speech Col
BRANsFoRD said that he did not appear before the
public as an aspirant for any public ei,e. but only
as privsse citizen. having n common stake with
others in the prosperity Of the cauntry. He nro-
ceeded ct once to discussion Of Che currency oues-
ton, as affecting all the interests of society. He
exposed much fthe humbug by which the Issues OF
oank notes are held up as great public bepefnctors
anu "his admitting The usefulness Of legitimate
OankiHg' the evils of the system which encourages
nuc'osions expansions and eOntrsctions, we're for
e'oy illustrated. All his arguments we're fortified
ny references 10 official statistics and every point
was impregnables We purpose no report of This
great speech our object being simply TO express
'ae delight with which listened to it, and to ac-
kno"le1ge the instruction We received from it, We
'ust 1t may be repeated al other points in the city
Col BRsNsFORD stated one fact, which we had
overlooked in the discussion OF the bank question
lie said that Of all he banks which bad been char
tered BY the Legislature Of this Stats, bu5 one had
peen Nou6u up WITHOUT 10 to the people. IL seems
to US that this fact alone should be enough 10 salts
fy the people that there are evils inherent in the
system which has heretofore prevailed, and that
stiicter guards should be placed around fhe banks
The making currency, said Col. BRAssFoRD, is
one CT the highest attributes of sovereignty, aud
that sovereignty owes no higher duty TO the people
than TO project them from the evils of DEPRECATED
currency and broken bapks It is for this that the
Democrats are contsnding in this contest. The
leaders of the Opposition, en- the other haad, in.
terested in thesehuctusticns, wish the system which
encourages them perpetuated Andihus the issues
of this canvass are made up.
p S-Since writing the foregoing. we learn that,
IN compliance with the request of many citizens,
Col BRAKsFoRD will again address the people Of
Nashville at the Market House, tomorrow (wednes-
day night.

Mr. A. G. MERRITT, Democratic candidate for
Floater is conducting tsiseanv with an abity and
earnestDess which entle him TO success If he does
not obtain it Hi: speech at The Market House on
Friday night vas enc Of The ciearest AMI most sou-
vincing argumsntsin favor Of the Democratic pol
icy with regard 10 The currency, which wehaye had
the pleasure Of heariug lie showed that the legis-
lstiOn of the Democratic party ia the last General
Assembly had rescued the country from the sea
of troubles nso which the legislation of the OPP
position had plunged ii he showed that the cur
rency OF the State under the i1husnce of the re-
forms introduced by the Democratic party, is in a
better condition than at any previous time and be
clearly proved that the welfare of the Sae depends
on the eontiuuance of the Democratic policy
this subject
The charge that banks cannot be established
and conducted successfully under the Democratic
system of repeaable charters, was refuted by ref
erenee TO the experience of Virginia, Ohio, Penn
sylVsnia and New York, where banks have been
in healthy operation for years under this provis
ioa. He showed that m>j oriy of the banking
capital of the Union was invested ia banks over
which the Legislature retained absolute and entire
control
He pointed out the danger Of oresiing corpora
atoms which entirely irresponsible to the peo-
pie and beyond the control Of tser representatives
The General Assembly has the power 10 lrgislate
with regard to the dearest rights Of sOciety--the
life and liberty Of the citizsn-bat the Opposition
say that it cannot be trusted 10 legislsto With re-
gard to these immaculate and sacred institutions,
called corporations.
The privileges Of banks are more holy ip the
eyes of the Opposition than the rights of the citizen
or of society The people through their represen-
taiives retain the power to change, modify or abo
ish every other privilege which they grant, right
which they establish. But when they want to re-
tain the same power over banks, the Opposition
raise their hands in holy horror aud tell US, Glands
off. You must not presume to sully by your touch
the royal robes of banking corporations"
The people only wish to exercise supervision and
control over banking institutions as they do over
every other institution Of the Stste-they wish to
retain the power TO guard themselves from oppres-
sion and wrong. The Opposition say, "No. These
matters are above your comprehension. Do not
seek to control the banks. The BANKS SHOULD
GOVERN THE PEOPLE, NOT THE PEOPLE THE BANKS"
To this doctrine Mr.. MERRITT, in common with the
Democratic party, objects. He maintains that the
people capable Of governing themselves, and
experience has shown that it is necessary to their
security that they should do il.

Why Vote with the know NOthinrs

Let every voter in Tennessee seriously ask him
self his question before he deposits his vote in the
ballot-box on the 4th of August. The Democratic
party is the only national party now in existence
There is no nationality in ''AbolitiOnism;" no ma
tonality in bastard Amtricanisn ;" and no nation
atty of sentiment in the present mongrel "Opposi-
ton" 1t is mere league between political ban
dts seeking to deluds honest people into their sup
port The old Jeffersonisn Democracy stands in
firm phalaux where it has Stood by the side OF
the Constitution and the rights of the whole people
Where, under such circumstances, and such time,
should honest, UuiOn-lOvipg citizens be found? Let
this question be pondered. Let men lay aside their
preudices for the time and think ofi dispassionate
ly Let them determine to act the part of patriots
rather than of partizans Let them determine to
vote for the service of their country rather than for
the service of "lsaders."

what has Become of it.

Know NOthingism, when first organised, was pre-
sided over by 'Grsnd National Council" to which
all other councils were subordinate. The last time
We remember t. haze heard of this 'Grsnd Nation
al Council" was in 1857, when it assembled in Lou
isville. It had Executive Committee" of which
Gen F. X. ZoLLICoFFER was member. Would it
not be well for some Of adOpted-citizens to ad
dress note 10 the General and ascertain what has
become CT that "Grand National Council" and
whether or not he is still member of its Executive
Committee. Such facts would 10: only serve good
purpose in the present canvass, but would prove
highly Interesting to the antiquarian in future
time.

Gen, ouarIes and The Old wings.

Gen. QUARLEs went cut Of HIS way in his speech
at tie Market House to denounce Gov Johnson, as
he did in most unreserved terms. He expects in
this way to compensate for his denuncialion of the
O'd Wing party in these days when he said that
Tennessee, Kentucky, Vermont, and Massachu-
setts 0srs dark spots the map Of the country" because
they voted foIGen. SCOTT. Much as Gen. QUARLEs
dislikes Gov JOHNSON, he voted for him in 1885, in
preference to Msj. HENRY. In his published speech
of 1885, before us, he givcs his for this
vote as follows:
But it may be asked did you not vote for Gov
JOHNSON two years ago? l DID-and my reason
for doing that The Old Wig party aosre then
dgitatng those principles to 0hich have ever been OPP
posed, and l chose TO support Gov. Johnson. al
though differed aCth him as lvidely as do n1V, IN
PREFEBEyCE TO The PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTY
WITH WHOM l DIFFERED IN EVERY THING"
So it will be seen that much and bitterly as Gen.
QUARLEs disikes Gov. Johnson, he dislikes the
Wing party still more.
How many Old Wings will support the man who
has thus denounced them?

We overlooked the paragraph, but the readers of
the Louisville Journal tell US that, one dsy last
week, it contained a statement to the effect that
JoHN BELL had written letter to Washington,
stating that the excitement here equal to that
of 1910; that NETHERLAND would be elected by
from 5000 to 5000 majority; that the Opposition
would elect eight members OF Congress; and that
both banohes Of the Legislature would be oprosi-
ton Such is not our opinion. Bat it is well
enough that the Democrats of Tennessee should
know what the Oppositionists are working for.
