The writer has been solemnly i'm

distractions af young Chicago gentle
man, who has been for about a year past
a resident of the rebellious city Of Mem
phis, Tennessee. Said gentleman has so
far stTayed nom the faith Of his strongly
radical Chicago home, and his still more
strongly radical republican family, as to
write as follows:
As the canvass for governor is now
going on, the country Is filed with
blaekgusrds, who go about preaching
Bro'EnlOw's confiscatiOns, and such Ike

generation practical insight of the vile
corruptions OF this unholy crusade now
wag,sd against the whites Of the south,
and that moment they are converts to
the democratic faith. Old heads have
strong and unusually immOvable preju-
dices but good and durable material is
to be found in the young men Of the
country.
The writer has known great deal of
the south for the past two years, and can
indorse the letter quoted, and would add
that this feeling obtains with all northarn
men whom he has met in the south, with
exceptions few indeed. Let US, then, as
democrats, buckle on our armOr anew,
and never waver in the good work. Let
us never again be led astray with worship
of false gods-never deviate from the
ways of our fathers-never lose sight of
the old and once familiar landmarks of
democracy, and we shall again be vic
torieus. Let all be agOrking, and, though
every white man in the south may be
disfranchised, we can hug our new

and he will still be controlled by those
whom he knOlgs as friends.
TIE eyes of the world are turned to the
democracy of this country, believing that
only in it can be found the fuH fruits OF
a salvation for our government. Can a
Brownlow create q loyal feeling in the
heart OF a Tennesseean ? Can crusade
upor a party already down and whipped
into the very earth inspire feeling Of
love for the power which further OPP
presses it? Can unmerciful cruelty
attach the affections of an erring child
TO a tyrannical and heartless parent
Radicalism proposes that the world shall
@ guage the tree by its fruit, " and, hiding
the preponderance of good, shows only
the evil, which is small, indeed. Pursue
your vigorous, manly, able and steadfast
course, planting your anchor OF faith
always firmly in the old and unchange-
able rock of democracy, and the Times

ton, the universal triumph Of demoe-
