try and Henry and Caruthers- and
last but not least by Crittenden and
Clay, and all their illustrious asso-
ciates. Can you who quaffed the
crystal fountains of wisdom that
flowed from such sources as these,
st0op and turn to the muddy streams
so full of the impurities and foiIies
and passions of this unhappy and
degenerate age?
'Can you on this fair mountain leave 10 feed,
And batten on this moor"
Wings of West Tennesseel Let us
stand together as we did in happier
days, struggling for what we Thought
We're the true principles of govern
ment. Let US not reject the aid of
any who are willing to Join us in that
work. Under our present organiza-
ton with the, Democrats sand with
ali who are in favor of equal rights,
we have accomplished wonders we
have brought order out of chaos, vic
tory out of defeat. We are a part of
that Grand National Conservative
party which has for its aim the re-
demption of our beloved country, the
restoration of liberty, and the eultIva-
ton of ~fraternal feelings among the
people. ItprOies5es no intolerant creed,
it exaets no humiliating pledge, it
seeks no unfair advantage, it asks no
unworthy concession. The question
is, are you for your country against
a party? Are you for equal justice to
all men?
A mighty host of Southern Wings
are marching in this line. They have
their full share in its honors
and their just weight in
its councils. In Tennessee, es-
pecially, they have been received
on a footing OF the most perfect equali-
ty. Since the success of this great
national party in our State, it has sent
Cooper, a Wing, to the Senate of the
United States; it has nominated
three Wings for the Supreme Bench.
In this Congressional District it elected
the lamented LeftWich, a Wing, to
Congress; and in this county it sent
two Wings, Heiskell and Stephens,
without opposition, to the Constitu-
tiOnal Conventions; and, more re-
Gently, has elected the Wings Morgan,
and F1ippin, and Heiskell, Judges.
In short, everywhere in Tennessee,
full justice has been done, as far as /

Wings.
With such evidences of fairness on
the part of our Democratic associates,
with such generous abnegation of self,
such absolute surrender of personal
ambition to the good of the country,
will you, can you, refuse them your
hearts and hands in this hour of your
country's peril? You may rest as
sured that we need their help as much
as they need ours. Neither of us can
stand without the other. We are
bound to bury the ~recollections
Of past differences, and to join
hand in hand for our mu-
tual salvation. / know that in times
of high excitement we used to say
hard things about each others party.
They said ugly things, and so did we.
Perhaps, if the balance was struck, it
would show that the account is about
equal, and that the debt ON both sides
isspaid. So let 1t stand. If the statute
of limitations does not bar the debt,
let it be washed out by the fearful
memories of that sad but glorious war
in which we fought side by side, and
in which our Democratic sons and our
Wing ons lay down together for their
long sleep, interlocked in deaths cold
