They tell US it is not the time to show two
lines of policy; but they wish their paper
to stick close to principle and less to men

THE WEEKLY UNION AND AMERICAN.
We are IN receipt of the enlarged edi-
ton of the Weekly UNION AND American.
1t is whale, as the boys would say-a
huge sheet of seventy-two columns-an
argosy of news and editorials upon passing
events, and the publishers have reason to
be proud of it. Its corps of writer's COM
prises a number of the most experienced
and accomplished in the State and every
department of the paper bears evidence of
the care bestowed upon its columns. Its
editorials are always marked with dignity
and freedom from violence of expression
in striking contrast with the practice of
many journals whose conductors seem to
regard fierceness and vehemence as
the chief requisite of first class neyspa-
per. On the contrary, it has been the
pride of the editors of the UNION AND
AMERICAN to publish a journal which, while
meeting the demand of its readers for the
news of the great world about, should be
also, model of courtesy in discussion.
They have written upon the theory that
the true journalist who aims to ennoble
his profession should rather initiate the
statesman than the boxer of the prize ring
and avoid as far as possible any catering
to depraved public sentiment. And the
Journalist who faithfully persists in this
course, will find his reward in the an
plause Of every one whose good opinion is
worth having. We are glad to see the in
| creased circulation of the UNION AND AMER
loan In our section, for it deserves it.
From the Brownsville Bee
We regard the UNION AND AMERICAN as
| the ablest and most reliable paper pub-
hshed in the State of Tennessee. and

| in our midst.
1t contains all the news, domestic and
foreign, all public acts and proceedings
throughout the State, markets, finance and
trade reports, and is well filed with sound

deserving the attention of every man. The
weekly Is mammoth seventy-two column
triple sheet, giving more good reading
than can be had anywhere else that we
know of for the small price of So per wear.
