Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-07-15

essee, where all the deceits and naehin.
! atlons of Rsdicalisn have united to make
an ever-present he'll. We must do more
/ than content ourselves with effete or.
CARNATIONS diFnified with good names
but wanting the spirit, the young energy
aud lie Without which we cannot win.
The Conservative Union man and the
ex-Confederste soldier must bend theiI
energies toward victory. The activity
that before the war Tennessee was famed
/ flT, must be revived aud sustained until
q united public sentiment shall achieve
/ for US our liberties. This nomination OF
| the great Democratic party we're barren
of purpose to Us did we fail to take ad-
| vantage Of the strength it inspires, and
| achieve something for ourselves within
| the limits OF cur own State. II the
prevalent general JOY Is not harbiGger
| OF our deliveFsnce, We had no right to
! representation here. II the simple fact
Of the existence Of q repre- -entative body
! like that that has adjourned has no
strength for Us 10 Tennessee, then it was
3 failure. But il had strength, and hiss
/ impaired to US prOpoFtiCned 70 cur needs.
| We have but to stretch forth our hands
in energetic effort 70 make that strength
available to the Overthrow OF Brown
low. Any approximation 20 the pOlltl-
cal efforts that of old carried the Wing
and Democratic parties to victory Ia
Tennessee, will insure Us victory in the
contest for Congressional as well IS Pres
idental ho1ors next November.
But am carried beyond my limit by
nope, and sm writing Of "things to
come" rather than Of the present, with
which you desire I should deal. As /
write, crowds OF men are on either side
of Broadway, vending their way to
Union Square to participate IN tBe ratI-
hcation of the Conventions action by the
people of the great metropolis. Trans
psrencies and banners and flags and all
the paraphernalia Of triumphant host
have been called into T5qulslnOn rs ap-
propriate to an occasion most mem0ra-
bic, among all the noted of which the
history of New York is full. Go over
the list Of delegates and select thence the
hundred or more effective AID brilliant
speakers, among the best men of our
country, and you can have some faint
idea Of the meeting whence shall 90 to
the country the hearty consent of New
York city to the platform Of principles
and the candidates Of the Democratic
Convention Of 1858.
Ere this reaches you, Memphis, as
every city in the Union, viii speak its |
approval and wheel into line with the /
column that must not be defeated. And /
let Us hope that nothing shall intervene |
between US and the contamination of
our designs, comprising as they do the
of our independence for the /
second time. We have EWo-t thirds Of the /
soldiers Of the late Union armies with /
Us, and q majority of sl their general
officers; we nave much Of the Conserv-
aLiye Republican element, with Chase
and such men pledged TO platform that
comes nearest the realization of their
wishes. Everything combines to our
success. The people desire change. They
are tired of Radicslism. They want a
zeal peace. They want release from tax
sti0n. They want an equalization OF the
burdens necessary to the support OF the
Tney want the restora-
ion CT that confidence which, spriDgiDg
rom conviction OF the enjoyment Of
EQUAL rights, imParts c0ntentment and
.Ustsins every industrial pursuit. Only
rom the triumph of the Democratic
,arty can these wants be supplied. The
people feel this-henee the enthusiasm
hat pervsdes the country. BY effort
kin to our present feelings, we must be
Notorious. J. NJ X.
