COMING TO THE RESCUE.

The Appeal, seeing the Importance OF
the present struggle, comes up hand
somely this morning to the rescue OF the
tick, and after speaking in. the highest
terms Of the candidates, says I'VE have
a righteous cause and good candidates,
and now let us have long pull, a
strong pull, and pull altogether 1t
is no time now to talk about petty feuds
aud small squabbles. Let us forget
chickering's and personal dissensions-
forget everything that is necessary to be
forgotten in holy effort to bring to-
gether every Democratic vote and crush
out forever the last vestige of Radical
ism. Every man in West Tennessee
knows what Radicalism means, and ey-
cry lover of good order, peace and hon
esty will join in noble effort to
wipe ont the foul blot which
for four years has cursed our
State. We understand that General
Brown intends to canvass the State.
Our candidates for Congress and the
Legislature also intend to make vigor-
GUS campaign. New life is about to be
thrown into the canvass. All the speak
ing talent of West Tennessee must be
brought into requisition, and universal
enthusiasm aroused. Everything must
not be left to our candidates. The white
plume of Governor Harris used to wave
in the thickest of the fight and it is yet
full of inspiring enthusiasm. General
Campbell, of Madison, like true knight
as he is, must take the saddle. Ben. Lee
and Livingston, of Haywood, must go to
the front; Humphrey Bate, of Upton,
must lift his eloquent voice and give the
weight of his great name in behalf of
the cause. Wallace and Avery and
Douglas, and Topp and Haynes must
again draw their trustworthy swords.
The people must be profoundly stirred
or they will not turn out. Everything
must be instinct with life, and every
body animated by an inspiring conf
dence Of success. Let us have such
stir, such hustle, such fervor as has
not been seen since the good old days
when the good old Wings and Democrats
fought their knightly combats over the
Constitution. 1t will be refreshing to
see Tennessee once more aglow,
and to have our candidates and
orators appealing to the people
from a thousand stumps to make
the last triumphant rally for the final
and complete redemption of their State
from Radical rule and despotism. Let
us do this, and let us forget every cause
Of discoutent and dissatisfaction, and
the hell-burnt bricks of the Radical for
tress will tumble in like the house of
Dsgon shaken by the wrath of the cap
tive Nazari:e-only we must be careful
TO step little to one side on that occa-
sion. But five working weeks of stir,
and every nan upon our ticket will be
triumphantly elected"

DECADENCE OF MASSACHUSETTS.

The startling decrease in population among
the country towns of the State is noticed in the
Palmer Journal, the editor giving his observa-
tions of thousands of miles of travel among the
hill and mountain districts. Every mile shows
indications of decay in the wreck of once ele-
CANT mansions, the scraggy orchards choked
with underbrush, and the dllapidated school
houses, long deserted. Thickly tenanted but
sadly neglected burial places show that once
numerous population dwelt here. where now
for long distances one finds no human habita.
tiOn. The population has slid into the valleys,
taking the wealth with it, and now farms can
be bought for less than the buildings are worth.
Rev. Dr. Gale, of Lee, adds his testimony re-
garding the decadence lOf Berkshire county.
Four towns now contain half the population
and half the wealth, and of the remaining
twenty-seven towns, fourteen have less than
300 inhabitants. The churches show fall
ing off ia the number of settled pastors, and an
increase in membership of fonly thlrty-four with
in the last forty years. In number of places
Sunday services have been entirely dispensed
with. The Manchester Union endorses the
statements, and asserts that the same is true
of other parts of the State. 1t mentions in
stances in which the whole school districts have
been depOpulated within the last four years,
farm buildings removed to the villages and the
farms left to the growth of forest trees The
cause of this sad change is ascribed by the
Union, to the attractions of the cheap lands of
the West, and to the later demoralizing effects
of the war AS both of these influences are
still in operation, there seems to be nothing to
preserve Massachusetts, from becoming State
of deserted villages. ."-Pittsburg Commercial.

ROUGH ON THEM-A recent number of the
New York World states that President Grant
told Senator the other day, that there was
not Radical, either of the carpet-bag or seal
awag or any other species qualified to be placed
on the Supreme Bench, and that everybody
else there who was qualified by education and
ability for such position was disqualified in
other respects for such an appointment The
World adds, "This is the worst cut carpet
baggism has yet received, and coming as it
does from the head of the nation, may be taken
as a sufficient reason why he adheres to the
Northern States IN selecting appointments for
the Southern vacancies on the Supreme Bench
with such pertinacity. It seems more proba

WONDERFUL LoNGEvITY.-Therei is man
living in the mountains of North Carolina, not
more than forty miles from GreenvilIe, s. c.,
who has reached the extraordinary ags of las
years. At the time of Braddock's defeat. he
was twenty years old, and had wife and three
children. gentleman at Greenville informs
US that this man, who has come down to us
from former generation, has always been in
moderate circumstances, lived upon a plain,
coarse vegetable diet; that he has never drank
any liquid but spring water, and bids fair to
live many years longer. He enjoys perfect
health, possesses all of manhood's attributes,
and wants to marry. He has survived seven
wives, and having lost his last one about sixty
years ago, he naturally begins to feel quite
lonely.-North Car0linian.
This rivals and may excel the celebrated
case of old Parr in England many years ago,
who died at the age of LA years. Methuselah,
however, in antediluvian days "saw that" and
went several hundred better.

The colored person now began to assume a
tone of naughty indignation-so Strengthening
himself up, and pulling the wrinkles out of his
gorgeous vest, with slight jerk of the lower

naughty anger how he had been cheated out of
the United States Senatorship by the "rebels

GENERAL SLACK OF INDIANA-Genera
James r. Slack, of Indiana, was President OF
the late Democratic Convention cf that State
and on taking his seat made the following point
ed speech, viz:
Gentlemen of the Convention Accept nv
sincerest thanks for the distinction you have
conferred in calling upon me to preside over
your deliberations, and permit me to indulge
the hope that all your proceedings will be char.
acteriLed with the utmost harmony; that your
conclusions may result in blessings to the coun.
try, and that you may nominate ticket which
the combined hosts of Radicalism cannot de-
feat, Cheers.
1t is only repeating the truth of history to say
that when the Democratic party rule, the peo-
pie of our whole country rejoice, and that
when Radicalism reioiccs, the people of our
whole country mourn. To restore the Govern.
ment to its original purity and perfection is
now the mission of the Democratic party.
[Cheers.] To accomplish this purpose Radi.
caism must be excluded from the councils of
the nation. Then, and not till then, will peace
and quiet, and prosperity, be restored to the
people. Again, gentlemen, l return to you
my sincerest thanks for the distinguished hon.
or you have 80 generously conferred on me.
The Conyentioni is now organized and ready for
business.
General Slack, if memory serves us right, is
