CITIZEN AND NOw.',

Under this caption we find many edlto- rials from Radical pens, the intent of which is to show up inconsistency on the part of the Democratic press in their opin- time of the surrender of the armies, and now. i that he is a candidate for the Presidency. If their man, the great Gen eral, CD the immortal U. s @ could show clean record for truthfulness and consistency, then we grant to these hyper critics the right to censure. But in the face of the great fact that Grant, who then of all northern men was most con servative, Is now candidate upon the Radical platform, pledged to the very pol, icy that three years ago he stood up to protect tue people of the surrendered States against, we deny their right to condemn, and throw their charges back upon them and their candidate as alone worthy of eensure in the premises. It is very strange that a man who, two years ago, because of his silence, was by two thirds of the Radical journals believed a Democrat, should new be so consistent @ Radical; more strange 1t is that the very journals that now lauds him to the skies, twelve months ago grew indignant at the bare idea of his becoming their candidate; stranger still it would be if the parties who accepted his promises at surrender, and whc believed in him because of his conservative tendency, should not cou- demn and oppose him now that he has somersaulted into the lap of Fadicalism, and forgotten the promises he made Away with this talk about then and now; make your man man before you con. .demn others for losing faith in him. First remove the beam from thine own eye, and then thou canst see clearly the mote that is in apothers.

 Thank you, Col, for your kindly welcome. When our name was run up we did not care to make any saluta- vtory noise, as we entirely distrustcd our ability to do justice to the place we were to occupy. We can but feel our want of capacity where there are 30 many able pens 10 fling the fiery in- vective and infiict the cutting sarcasm ; but, "still there are follies even for us to chase" and right willingly will we hunt them. The Augean stable of Radical ordure is to be cleansed, and the foul Harpies driven in flight to where their deceitiul voices shall be heard no more the good and true men are to be elevated, and the sneaks and skulks aired, and when the task of purging the State is accomplished, there are thousand pleasing offices to be performed. We want to do our part as well as we can.

Andrew Johnson.

Every Democrat in Tennessee, every lover of the Constitution and liberty, every enemy to despotism, tyranny ana usurpation is warm friend to Andrew Johnson. If there was remote possi- bilitv of his nomination for the Presi- dency and his election thereafter. there wonld be some sense in urging his claims But those who love President Johnson more than they do principles, who care more for men than they do for measures. seem to be actuated oy vindictive fnalignity and determiia- ton to propagated willful falsehoods against those who honestly believe that the Southern States, sborn of their | liberties and without voice at the bal lot box, with no hope of giving a sim gle State to the nominee, ought to leave ! the task of selecting the candidate to those who can vote and elect the nom inee. The Democrats who entertain | these views are as good friends to Pres ident Johnson as those who cavort and splutter in his behalf for some selfish purposes, and with no regard to the l interest and harmony of the party During the last three years we have written fifty columns exalting and de- | we three months ago opposed an ex- pression for any aspirant, because we could not give vote for the nominee, and because we could not do vlo- | lence to our consciences and the best interests of the Democracy, ergo. we are an enemy to Andrew Johnson! an | ingrate who has deserted the man that has taken care of us . Be it SO! Such ,,,t, ron drive from our duty 10 the democratic party, and. as time unfolds his hidden myster- ies, it will be seen that while dema- gogues and aspirants arc loading around the footstool of power, and wandering off toward the rising sun, we will be true to him whose political career is run, and whose sun is set.-- We will still tell the world that the real cause of the rupture between Pres ident Johnson and congress, was his refusal to make himseli party to the foul scheme to radicaize the poli- ties of the South and to change the na- ture and character of the Government Had he consented to abandon the plan of reconstruction originated by Mir Lincoln, approved by the Republican party and accepted by himself as the best solut on of the most qexed ques- tion in our recent politics; could he have stopped to the caseness of aban- doning his convictions, of violating his official oath and betraying his coun- 1 try. he might easily. have stood confese- ed the Lucifer of the darling hosts of the Radicals. But amid tho foul defec- ton of his late political associates and party leaders, he stood true to the Constitution and the country. And 1 for this fidelity to oath and to duty. the whole party. both in and out of Con- gress, turned upon him and have made 1 the land resonant, from that day to 1 this, with charges of treason and lnfa- nous efforts of Impeachment. Histo- " will yet do Andrew Johnson justice we can tell his self-constitnted champi- ons that long after they have deserted l him and wandered off after pelf and power, we will still be found defending 1 then name and fame of Andrew Johnson and according 10 him due praise for his 1 sublime and heroic constancy.-Mem- phis Avalanche.
