you will scarcely hear a pleasant word
among the children in their plays with each
other. And the discipline of such family
is always weak and irregular. The children
expect just so much scolding before they do

law, they never think ofdisobsdienee, either

be patient and cheerful, if you cannot sue

your children also. Impatient angry tones
never cid the heart good, but plenty of evil.

DEAD AT LAST.

For seven long, weary years have we anX-
iouslS and hopefully looked for this good
time. The radical party is DEAD in Tenn
essee No more will the Brownlows, the
Stokeses, the ArnelIs, the Smiths, Nincum-
poops lord over this grand old Common
wealth. Good bye, 40 acres, a mule and a
pillow Farewell ye tyranical, lying, sneak
ing thieves, and may the Devil take you all
in charge Yes, Tennessee is redeemed;
at Nashville, last Tuesday, when General
John c. Brown, of Giles, was nominated
for Governor by reclamation upon a pure
and undulterated Democratic platform, the
radical coffin was made, and on the Sth of
November next the lid will be forever
nailed down over the Hfeless carcass of the
most beastly and besotted abortion that
ever disgraesd Gods green earth, and we
are all glad Of it
We refer our rsa ders to the following
platform adopted by the people, the
Democratic people of Tennessee, on last
Tuesday. 1t will be seen that the word
conservative was kicked out of the Capi-
tol and that Tennessee now, as they
always have done when unfettered, come
boldly to the front, and in their coming
victory over radicalism is sure:

Judge T. J. Latham.

The following complimentary no. tees we
copy from our Memphis exchanges:
Among those prominently spoken of is
our fellow-towns-man, Judge I. j. Latham,
now the Bankrupt Register of this District.
He is fully identified with our people in in
terest, by birth, relationship and permanent
residence, and labors under no political dis
abilities, as he was a consistent though
quiet constitutional Union man during the
war; and if elected, would meet with no
opposition on taking his seat. For this
| same reason, it is thought that Mr.. La
tham's presence in Congress would be pro-
motive of the best interest of our section,
and obtain consideration where she efforts
| Of others might fail While this is so, ev-
cry one OF all familiar with his record, dur
ing and since the war, knows his thorough
| conservatism, and want of all sympathy
with proscritiVe Radicalism. This is
thought to be entirely satisfactory as far as
a political record goes and to meet the re-
| quirements of the Central Democrats EX-
| ecutive Committee. His own well known
moderation his afable and courteous deport-
ment, might well be expected to do much in
effecting more moderate and tolerant legis-
! lation than has governed the action of
| Congress since the war. That he would
use his best exertiOns to subserVe the inter
est~ of Memphis and promote her prosperi-
| ty we have every reason to believe. We
have said this much in reference to Mr..
Latham because kis name has only been re-
Gently used in connection with a nominal
ton for Congress, and it is well that he
should at least be placed on par with his
competitors who, in the last few years, have
been more or less before the public.-Pub.
Tic Ledger, Of dug 18Th
Without disparagement (as the phrase
runs) Of the claims of others, we can say,
and say truly, Judge Latham is worthy and
we'll qualified. He has experience as citi-
zen, lawyer aud politician is shrewd saga
ciOus, intelligent and energetic. He was a
| Union man, pure and simple. He had no
hate or enmity for those who differed with
him; on the contrary, he, from the first, by
pen and voice, urged upon the Lincoln ad-
minsitration a cOnciliatory course as best
calculated to win over the gallant people he
| loved as one born and bred among them
He never ceased to discharge the obligations
incum bent opOn him as friend and neigh
Dor. He deplored the war, and as it closed
made ready and threw himself into the
breach bet cen the Radicals an his disfran-
chised cOuntrymen. He enters the race
with clean hands and willing heart; and
should he be nominated, will, no doubt, be
ell cted, and make a working, thorough 60
ing Repre- entatiVe.-MemphiS Appeal of
| august 14th.

COUNTY CONVENTION!
Attention Voters :!

As will be seen from document signed
by Geo. J. Stubblefeld, Chairman of the
Democratic and Conservative State Excel
tive Committee, and dated Nashville, Aug.

pose radicals and radicalism In every par
ticular, to consider it bOunden duty to
meet in convention at the Court house, in
Bolivar, on the first Monday in September
and select delegates to attend the State Con
Vention.
Remember, the radicals claim that they
are completely organized, that they are in
q most happy condition to make the race for
Governor, and that they will put their
strongest man IN the field.
Our duty is plainly before US. We must
beat the plundering thieves at every point
People of Hardeman, we have done it and
can do it again.
Let the watch-word of every honest man
be: Put no radical an office" The radical
party has been and Is a curse to the Nation
and State.
Go for white men, not mongrels, State
Rights and equal taxation.
You know what the radical party is. You
desire its total defeat. Then come to the
County Convention and see that competent
gentlemen of unmistakable anti-radica
views are delegated to represent Hardemar
county. Come up, all of you who are will
ing to push the three plank platform tc
victory.

nessee.
On the second Tuesday in November
next, the important elections for Members
of Congress, Governor Of the State, and
Members of the Legislature will be held.
It is deemed of the highest importance, in
order to secure the complete overthrow of
the political party which has for several
years ruled and almost ruined us, that there
should be unity Of action among the Demo.
cratic aud Conservative party of the State
in those elections.
The Executive Committee appointed by
the State Convention held in this city on
the 9th day of June, 1868, have, therefore,
for the purpose of preserving harmony in
our ranks and promoting unity of action in
those elections, resolved to call cOnven
ton of the Democratic and Conservative
party of the State to assemble at the CAPT
tol, in this city, on tuesday the 18th oil
September next, at II a NJ, for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for Governor,
and taking such other steps as may be ne
cessary to secure the thorough organization
of the party. The several counties in the
State are, therefore, requested, on or before
the lst Monday in September, to appoint
delegates to that convention.
