IT Is not the fault Of the APPEAL il
the Conservative party be Invested Of
any share of its strength. Democrats,
in agreeing to support SENTER, never
agreed to change front, to stultify
themselves and adopt the leading dis
tinctive feature Of Radicalism. SEY-
NrOUR's was the white mans party,
asserting in every utterance of princi-
pie that this must ever be a white
mans government. SENTER never
wrought the slightest change in Demo-
cratic principles and theories, and for
all the evil and discussions that grow
out Of differences now discussed, they
alone n responsible who sought to
effect the qualification Of the Conserva-
tive party Of Tennessee. The people
Will never assent TO the scheme by
which they are sought to be delivered
over, bound hand and foot, to the mas
tiers Of the Radical party in Tennessee.
They who made the trade with SEN
TER and BROwNLow may adhere to
it in good faith, and while we applaud
their honesty we must deplore their
folly. We hope their meeting to-day,
in which DR.. SHAW and other Radi-
Gals may well participate, will be har-
monious and blissful to the last degree.

THE question of negro suffrage is
not a party question in the old sense
of party action. 1t is a great national
and vital one, and underlies the pros
perity of the State. The question
whether we shall have an Empire or
a limited Monarchy, an Arts
tocracy or a Republic, a gov
eminent of Intelligent whites
or q government by mixed
eoIors and mongrels, is n for the
statesman and the patriot, not for the
partisan. When, before the election
of Senter, we We're suffering under
the long continued wrongs and abuses
of Radical rule, through the negro,
and combined against the Radical
party for the public good and
for selfprOtectiOn, who dreamed
that that was partisan action
in the narrow, old-fashioned and
party sense? Did we not feel that as
patriots we rose above party? Did
we not scorn every issue of party,
Wings, Democrats and all, and COM
bine to save the country, under the
name chosen by our friends of the
North in the election for President?
And when we elected SENTER did we
not quietly do the same thing, and
make the same combination? What
less can we do now? To yield to ne
gro suffrage is to yield to Radicalism
its Browning victory" and to
surrender all we have gained
in previous contests. If ne
gro suffrage now prevails, and
is incorporated as a part of the or
ganic law Of the State, the Radical
party viii again be in the ascendant,
and we shall return under its damn
ing sway. We shall have old things,
old peculatiOns, old mischiefs, and
" BROwNLow's he'll" over again.
Who bids for that ? Not the APPEAL.
1t shall not be our fault if negro suf
frage, with all its internal conse-
quences, is fixed on the State Of Ten
nessee, on the pretense of peace, har-
mony and fraternity There is no
good in it. And we are glad to see
the peopleofShelby county are against
it by three thousand votes, and by
twice that number of white votes.

OUR Democracy hath this extent
no mOre-to serve the country and
save the State. Had the Government
of Tennessee been exclusively in the
hands of its whites for the last four
years, who believes we should now be
groaning under forty millions of debt,
with city and county Indebtedness
amounting to as much more, and tax
es 50 heavy as to make men feel that
the more property they have thePoorer
they are? Let those go for negro sut-
frage who will. Let poor whites al
low negro votes to kill their own if
they will. Let poor men pay taxes to
support negroes as rulers and vo-
tiers, instead Of workers, if they will.
Let partisans on "no party grounds
and in the name of the people, seek to
place blacks in authority Y whites,
in order to get into offices by black
votes, which they know white votes
would never give them, if they will.
Let timid men and capitalists take
the cause of their losses, expressions
and taxes, and the direst curse they
have ever experienced (wOrse even
than war ITSELF back to their business
and bosoms, in order to escape lesser
calamities they know not of, if they
will. But for US we wash our hands
of negro suffrage, and never will eat
that dirt until we are forced to it.
There are good men of whom we have
no questions to ask. But vote or advO-
cate IMAM foranystatio knowingh him
to be willing to place our rights for
ever in the power of negro votes we
never will. The man who waivers, or
has "buts" and "if" on this subject,
we cannot support as a candidate for
the State Convention, or any Office, by
the faintest word of encouragement,
withOutfe feeling elfcondemned as hav-
ing failed to warn the country in a
crisis of peril. This is our Democracy,
and we claim it is but the synonym
for patriotism.

M

Editors Appeal: In the coming cleo
tons, when all good citizens are look
ing out for the best men to fill the
city and county offices in future, it is
gratifying to see the names of such
men as J. Jack Wilson announced as
candidates. M. Wilson is an old citi-
zen, entirely reliable, fully identified
with the interests of city, ener-
getic, industrious, honest and faithful.
His knowledge and experience as a
" river man " will make him an ex-
cellent wharfmaster. As there will
be no nominations for this Office. and
it will be a " free ight,v with a large
number Of candidates in the ring, 1
hope Jack Wilson's friends will turn
out in force and elect him. A.

IN our columns of yesterday morn
ing two special dispatches from Little
Rock appeared, which, from some ap-
parent conflict in their statements,
would seem from their cOloring at
least to have come from two different
sources, and from opposite interests.
Thus we are liable to be deceived, and
to mislead our readers through the
teIegraphic columns. We have often
cautioned them against taking for
true everything which appears there,
where partisan and private advan-
tages are too often sought or cOlOrings
given, and the public mind not sell
dom pre-Oecupied, and possibly preju-
diced. We are informed that public
opinion in Little Rock is not so de-
cidedIy in favor of the movement of
the new Board as to indicate a belief
of any particular benefit to the public
from Wrestling the road from the old
Board. The truth of the affirmation
that "There is nothing in law tosup-
port or authorize such a movement"
as the removal Of the case from the
Radical Supreme Court of Arkansas
to the United States Supreme Court is
not altogether apparent from facts
within our knowledge. If the matter
cannot be compromised, and must be
Irrigated, it is certainly to be preferred
that the adjudication should be by the
United States Court, which has juris-
diction in cases of conflict between
citizens of different States. What this
new Directory is to gain, so far as the
public interests are concerned, by pur-
suing the matter, we are at a loss to
see. Mr.. BRINKLEY, it seems, was
on the eve Of completing the road, by
procuring the requisite means, when
his proceedings were arrested in New
York. If by the withdrawal of the
new Directory, and the restoration Of
the former status, so that the money
can be obtained, the roadway yet go
on to completion, we hope the new
Will yield, out Of regard to
important public interests.

FORTY THOUSAND negro voters in
Tennessee would give to every politi-
clan, at all inclined to Radicalism, a
basis Of dangerous force and power
which could not always be resisted.
The politics Of the State would forever
be corrupted by this strong element Of
pollution. Lawmakers would be con-
trolled by such an agency Of political
influence, and Tennessee burdened by
taxation levied with reference to ne
gro votes. We have seen and suffered
enough, and would have no more Of
negro suffrage.

IT Is time enough for Us to assent to

may retard, but cannot hasten the
