Those principles are uncomprom-

contained the fewest in number we
have had for many years, has declar-
cd, by tabling resolution to en-
dorse us,that they no longer need
our services, we, ,ofcourse, ,do'not con-
slider that we are bound TO support
these men until they getright. We
regret that this split in the party
has taken place, at such an impor-
tant period in our political status.
We believe it will not affect our
State ticket, and we have said to
our friends, that there is not men
enough, or money enough, in Vim

principles. But to support mere
demagogueism any longer, in this
county, we will not. Those Of our
subscribers, who have paid in ad.

the course we pursue, can call and
have their money refunded, as we
shall fight it out on this line.

The Fate of MaNimilian.

The proclamation OF MAMMALIAN
which we published yesterday, is
invested with painful and melan-
choly interest. The unfortunate
Emperor reproaches NAPOLEON for
having induced him to go to Mex
leo, with promises of his support
and protection, which promises he
did not redeem, but as soon as it
suited his own interest, abandoned
him; MAMMALIAN can we'll exclaim,
in this, the hour Of his misfortune,
Put not try trust in Princes" !"
NAPOLEON only designed to use him
as an instrument Of his own schemes
which did not embrace any high
or honorable motive. The failure
of this Mexican enterprise is the
great stain upon the diplomacy OF
the French Emperor, and in the
sequel will be the the most prejud-
ical to him. 1t is like, in its results,
the efforts Of the elder NAPOLEON
to place a king upon the European
branch of the Spanish family. But
it is attended with more personal
and political humiliation. The eld-
er NAPOLEON sustained his brother
in Spain against English intelven-
ton and home resistance, with all
the power at his command, up to
the very last, and if he failed it was
the failure of heroic persistence,
even IN a bad undertaking. But
with LOUIS NAPoLEoN's Mexican en-
terprise there is no such redeeming
qualification. His abandonment of
MAMMALIAN. seems to have been as
cowardly as his original support of
him had been unwiSe. .
There is no nation more sensible
to generous emotion than the
French, and the spectacle which is
now presented by MAMMALIAN, and
his mournful reproaches upon the
honor Of their Government, will
create a profound sensation that
will not be favorable to the contin-
uance of the imperial dynasty. A
retributive Providence will most
likely visit upon the author of this
perfdy, which has so terribly in
volved gallant gentleman, the
full measure Of the wrong which he
has caused, and the suffering he has
inflicted. AS NAPOLEON |, upon the
island of St. Helena, looked back
upon his conduct iR Spain as the
original cause of his ruin, so LOUIS
NAPOLEON may hereafter date the
second downfall of his house from
his ill.starred and ill-fated Mexican
eXpedition.-EnQuirer.

Our Convention.

To the Democracy Of this county,
we have to say, for the first time in
our life, that we ever could even
think it, that we cannot support the
county ticket nominated on last
Monday. Our reason is This: we
asked, as you will see in the pub.
lished proceedings in this paper,
that the course the Record has per-
sued, while in our control, should
be endorsed by our Democratic
fellow citizens. This the Conyen-
ton, or a small majority of them,
refused to do, by tabling the resolu-
tion.. We allowed our name to go
before that Convention for the pur-
pose Of stating a few facts to the
Convention, knowing that certain
men would be in the Convention,
and require pledges from the can
didates, and knowing that would
be the only chance we could have
to say a word before the Conven-
ton, as the gag-rule ofnot allowing
any man to say any thing TO our
Convention is always applied, Last
year, we were choked down in that
way. O, Il. Cunning moved that
this resolution should be voted on
without debate. The Convention,
as we claimed, should have recog-
nized one or the other of the papers
as the Democratic OF gan in Vinton,
as they refused to acknowledge the
Record, after we have kept up the
paper for so many years, and been
attended with more general sue
cess than any county in the State,
considering its surroundings. AT,
ter the amount of labor and time
we have been to,we believed honest
ly, it was the duty Of the Conven.
ton to require at the hands of the
Clerk, Sheriff and Commissioners
that they should,in their oGicialprin-
ting, support the Record. This we
had a right 10 ask,aS this press elect
ed these men. Anything less than
their official patronage, we could /
not accept, and on their part, less
is base ingratitude. Not that we
care fig for the dollars and cents,
for this Press CAN, WILL and
SHALL be continued. While we
control its columns,lt will pander to

pense of principles and fair play

Of running out the Record. Let US

THE CITY.
MEM HIS:
wednesday Evening, Sept. 4, 1867

A MORNING paper keeps standing
at the head of its columns in conspic'
uous letters the following:
Largest circulation Of any paper an
Vest Tennessee. Largest city circula-
ton"
Now, if this is true, we have no right
to say one word on the subject. But if
it is not true, it is not right that any
other paper should take from us the
credit and reap an advantage which be-
longs to the LEDGER. The public, whose
advertising patronage depends much on
the circulation of newspaper, is enti-
tied to know the facts. And the paper
which pretends to the largest circulation
should be able to establish it. We pub
lish that the LEDGER has the largest cir
culation. We think it is three times as
large as that paper. So that one OF us
is mistaken. Whichever it is should
take down the horns. And we now offer
to pay over to Col. Kerr for the Fanny
Thurston fund one hundred dollars * our
whole circulation does not exceed that
paper t,co TO one, provided only the pub
fishers referred to will do the same if it
does--to be determined by selection of
mutual friends as judges. Thus the
truth will appear, and charitable fund
be increased in either event.
We can get no reply as TO the question
of relative circulation of the Bulletin
and the LEDGER. We shall therefore adj
here to our opinion, heretofore expressed,
that the difference in our favor is as
three to one The public will draw its
own conclusions, as to whether it is adj
missible that our neighbor should pre-
tend to a circulation at all If, by hunt
ing about, anybody should discover that
paper in a dwelling house or store, they
can count that for one. We do not deny
that here and there, one may be found,
after close hunt, while the LEDGER is
to be found everywhere We rather RET
greet the result, as Col Kerr informs us
that he has particular use for that hun
dred, and can apply it to a very good
nurnnsn

How FEw CowBELLooIASs WERE
FLASKm.-An old codger in South
Memphis, who recently illustrated his
devotion TO the memory OF wife No. by
providing himself with No. 2 three weeks
after the funeral, received n visit from a
party Of impromptu cowbellogians the
ether night. Horns, brass kettles, tin
pans, and other equally musical instru-
ments, made midnight hideous, and wor-
ried the old youth not little He
wouldn't treat" and "the boys" after
blowing themselves red as salmon, left
in high dudgeon, vowing to return.
They did return night or two since
aud frightened all the chickens and dogs
out of propriety by abe most horrible
din that ever greeted human ears. The
ancient chap anticipating the visit, had
taken the precaution to have couple Of
policemen adjacent, and about the time
the lovely concert reached its hight the
"minions of the moon" rushed upon the
scene The young minstrel who was en-
deavoring to, blow the miserere through
dinner horn; the juvenile "0le BulI'
who vigorously scraped the overture from
Norma" on a demoralized fiddle, and
the chap who was gradually grow
ing red in the face beating
the grand march from Faust on
a collapsed coffee.pot; INDUCED in a
brief glance at the situation, and more
comprehensive view of friendly fence.
A moment afterward the nails in several
pairs of boot-heels cleaned in the region
of the fence, followed by an imitation on
a small scale of Napoleon's retreat from
Waterloo. The old boy chuckled at the
success of his flank movement, and was
soon in dreamland again.
