THE TRIAL OF DICK MCCAIN AND
OTHERS POsTPoNED----BAIL RE-
FUSED.

On Monday afternoon the cases of the
State rs. Dick Mccain, w. c. Kain, j. c.
Ramsey and Reuben Roddy, were called in
the Circuit Court of Knox county. IL will
be recollected that these gentlemen were in
dicted for being instrumental in bringing
about the death of Messrs. Haun and Har-
mon, who were tried by Court Martial on
charge of bridge-burning in 1861, and
were convicted and executed. Ii is alleged
that the prisoners were members Of that
Court Martial, and rs such guilty of muir
der.
On the ground of the absence Of material
witnesses, the States Attorney asked for a
continuance Of the cases till the next term
Of the Court. The prisoners were anxious
for trial and strongly opposed the delay
but the Court decided to grant the continu-
snce. After this order was made, the pris-
oners urged that they be admitted to bail,
but this was refused.
We are authorized to state that the coun-
sci for McCASN offered TO admit all the
evidence alledged in the affidavit for con-
tinuance, filed by the States Attorney and
that after this was refused and the trial post
poned, all profier Of bail was rejected.
These are the facts thus far developed in
these important cases. Waving an opinion
for the present, we simply assert that il may
become necessary in vindication of the great
principles involved, to animadvert upon the
action Of the court. Until we are fully in
formed by official authority, however, fur
ther comment is reserved.

The factious opposition in Congress to the
Presidents Union policy, though terribly
staggered by the stunning blows lately given
ii, is endeayoring to straighten itself up
and to press the war vigorously. On the
day succeeding the delivery of the Presi-
dents last great speech, the Senate was en-
tertained by Mr.. FEssENDEs, Of Maine, who
delivered fierce invective upon the Presi-
dent and his policy This was followed by
a general caucus of the Radicals, and a
conclusion on their part to keep in the
pathway marked out for them in the begin
ming of the session The bitter vehemence
of STEVENS towards the President was so
far intensified as to make him more hostile
to Southern representation, particularly from
Tennessee. They are determined, therefore,
TO press their schemes 10 the bitter end; but
finding the metal they have to deal with,
they will move with somewhat more circum-
spection and caution.
On the other hand President JOHNSON
was never more calm, or more thoroughly
confident Of the ultimate triumph of the
great principles of the Constitution be-
fore the popular tribunal of the coun-
try. By the mails of last Saturday
alone, he received thirty-six letters from
distinguished citizens in all parts of the
North, indorsing the veto, and commencing
the speech of the 22d. 1t is added that
they were generally from prominent Repub-
licans. 1t is also said that members of Con-
gress heretofore voting with the Radicals
are receiving startling news from their con-
stituents, and are growing unsteady in their
adhesion to the Sumner-Stevens programme.
While such is the situation at the adverse
ends of Pennsylvania avenue, the issues
that have been forming since the war closed
have been fairly made up, and the final de-
cision is RENTED to the people. The people
are acting promptly upon it. Most imposing
popular demonstrations have occurred in
several of the Northern cities, and others are
announced for an early day, upholding and
sustaining the Executive. Two or three
have been held in the interests Of the con-
gressional fanatics-the largest in Chicago,
which is described by the Times as decid-
eddy lame affair. The press, too is bearing
its hand. IN this the President, while find
ing many very able and influential support
ers, receives the most Incorporate and bitter
abuse.
Happy would it have been for the country
if this new strife could have been avoided.
But fate has decreed otherwise, and 80 we
must grid our loins for an unwelcome but
mighty conflict for the right-for the Con-
stitution, and the Union of the States there
under.

SOUTHERN TRADE.

Merchants of this and other cities who are
DESTROYS of the immense and lucrative trade
of the South, now opening to them, should
strive earnestly and energetically to obtain
it. Ii legitimately belongs to Nashville, and
our business men will not fail to recognize
the fact. Should they use the means in
their power, the great wealth of Southern
towns will drift steadily and almost exclu-
sively toward this point.
One newspaper, sent to remote post-offices,
is read carefully and conned closely, adver.
tisements and all, by dozens of persons.
Now, should any one of the dozen readers
discover the goods or articles he wants adj
vertised, will it not abundantly remunerate
the advertiser for the trifing expense in
CURED should this customer be obtained?
The UNION AND AMERICAN, both Daily
and Weekly, has large circulation-larger
than any other paper in this section of
country. 1t is rapidly increasing its circu-
lation in all places throughout the country
south of Nashville, and, as an advertising
medium, has neither equal nor superior in
the West or South. Thus it has ever been,
ar our patrons must admit; and we intend
that il shall take the advance in enterprise
in the future as it has in the past.

THE CHARACTER OF THE WARFARE
ON THE PRESIDENT.

The desperately malignant and unscrupu-
loHs character of the warfare which is to be
made upon President Johnson, may be
judged by the following charges already
brought against him. The New York
Tribune referring to the delivery and trans
mission to the public of the speech Of the
22d, says:
AFTER il was put upon the wires at Washington
for transmission 10 this city orders 'cere received
for as sHppressiOR, and a trGs not az about /
O'Clock that this order tcas revoked. The delay
made IL impossible for us then TO put II in type
before our usual hour for going TO press. As the
GororHmrR nj finally thought proper 10 permit its pub
LEGATION, we give Il the advantage OF the wide CIR
oulation OF the Tribune"
The reporter for the New York Times thus
nails this falsehood: $50 far as the President
or the Government are concerned, We can
assert outhoritatirety that no orders for sup
preston, nor orders of any kind were given,
nor suggestions made, as TO the transmission
over the wires, or publication of the speech.
The President knew absolutely nothing about
the publication of his speech. Each paper
represented here was put upor its own en-
terprise. The struggle among us was only
10 get the use of the most authentic and cor
rect account"
Again, the Tribune says:
There is, we suppose, no Improperly in refer
ring, in public journal, 90 what is in all men $
mouths. The extraordinary speech Of President
johnson on THURSDAY has been attributed to a
weakness TO trhich u ts universally understood he
a. occasionally addicted"

lowing additional batch is thus referred to

SPEECH OF GEN. II. l.. CRITTENDEN.

The special and predestinated savers of the
Union in this State are highly indignant at
the course pursued by the President. What
will the bellicose talking heroes, under the
lead of our obese Secretary of State, say to
the following from General Tom. Crittenden,
delivered at the mass meeting in Louisville
on the 22d:
Mr.. Chairman aad EelioW-C Citizens:
Whatever others have come to this meeting for,
tonight. allow me 10 say that came here to en-
dorse the conduct of the present Chief Magistrate
of the nation from the memorable period when,
addressing Governor Sharkey. Of Mississippi; he
said: e The people masf be trusted 'rHh their Gor-
eminent I. and. if trusted my opinion
is that they will act in good faith, and
restore their former constitutional relations with
all the States composing the Union. That
sentiment was a noble one; il has been the key
note 20 the policy of his Administrator, and
came here to indorss Andrew johnson in all that
he has done since he gave expression to IT. lie
has exhibited more wisdom and more hrmneSs In
his public conduct than any man | know. IN
dorSe Andrew johnson because believe that he
is grand illustration of the fact that, when
mighty nation olevstes man to such position
as he occupies all party shackles should fall away
from him. Applause Andrew johnson has
been an old Democrat, and he has acted with the
Republican party; ] am an old Wing and since
the death of the Wing organization L have be-
longed to no party. l support the President
therefore in no partisan spirit believing that ne
in the discharge of his great trust has discarded
all mere party claims And, let me declare to
you. fellow citizens, would not now exchange
Andrew johnson, with his iron nerve and devoted
patriotism, as President of this Union, for any
other living man:
This is no time for the display of party passions

upon Andrew Johnson's platform-the platform
of the Constitution and the Union, against all the
foes of either. hold with him, as he lately ex-
pressed it. that the Government, having rightly

strong arm of power now. in sweeping around the
circle of the Union. il, in other quarters there

sition out of the way. and heartily sustain An

the people of the South, very properly re-

the two sections of our common country.

OUR RECENT srATr CONVENTION.
The Nashville correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial gives the following rs his
version Of our recent State Convention:


The object Of this assembfage was 10 strike a
blow upon the entering wedge of discord between
the President and the Radical wing Of Congress.
The body was made up OF such disoordant materi-
als--tnen who had been in the Union army, men
who had been in the rebel army; who had voted
for the elective franchise law now in operation in
Tennessee, or who hated aud execrated that meas
ure, and the BrOwnlOw goVernment-thai a stormy
session was apprehended. The difficulty, however,
wigs the ekllful dodge of referring all the sets of
resolutions quietly 20 the committee Of ten, with
out discussion, which STAYED OF excitement, and
safely buried in the tomb Of the Capulets all res
olutions excepting those which the committee had
tucked away In their coat pocket. The Conven-
ton was manipulated by few old stagers after
the most approved methods of procedure in the
days Of yore. To one familiar with the rehearsals
such occasions il was very plain that the fox 5
tail was sticking out Of the hole. and that the
same old artfal dodger was in there. Everything
had been cut and dried. in full readiness, weeks
before the I'D. ard il quite evident to an eN-
pert that the mi1utssa details had all been pre-
arranged with the most careful attention and
scrupulous eXactneSs.
The Convention. without canvassing the cor
rcctness Of its action, may be set down As an &C
complished Success IL has drawn 4 line Of denmark
alton in Tennessee. and has created rallying
point for the formation Of n new political party,
which will commence its career with the cordial
Endorsement and cooperation OF nineteen twenti-
cths of the newspapers Of the State, which are
already exulting with fierce enthusiasm.
