The RADICAL STATE CONVENTION
IN TENNEssEE-SHAMEFUL PROCEED.
ISGs I'VE publish to-day an abstract
of the second days proceedings of the
radical convention in Nashville. We
might give longer abstract, for the
Nashville papers contain several coll
umns of the report, but It is so dash.
ed, double dashed, and extra double
dashed off, like g Georgia cornfeld
laid out in rows ready for planting,
that more of it might confuse our
readers and render what we alread =
give almost perfect blank. These
reports demonstrate that the conyooa-
tion was among the most disgraoeful
OF any kind that ever assembled in tho
State. Its proceedings we're marked
by profane and vulgar declarations
that would have caused those who ut
tered them to be thrown from tho
windows of congregation of horse
thieves and cutthroats. It is abso-
lutely humiliating to the whole
American people that any political
organization in State in the Union
should so outrageously conduct
itself in it's representatives oapaoity
in public hall. No term of oppro-
brium is too strong to apply to black
guards who befoul their party and
their country as these Tennessee radi-
Gals have just done.--N. Y. Herald.

gladness (thiok with trout) dance
through this wilderness of buty, tew
the low music ov the cricket aud grass

aspen trimbles like the love smitten
heart of damsel. Fruits of the
tropicks, in golden buty, melt on the
boughs, and the bees 20 heavy and
sweet from the fields to garneripg
luyes. The stables are worthy Of
Nimrod or the studs of Akillis, and
it's henery was built expressly for the
birds of paradise; while somber in
the distance, like the cave of hermit,
glimpses are caught ov the dog house.
