RaDgCAL wRANGLING.

The Radical party is in trouble. Its
final dissolution is near at hand, and its
leaders are wrangling among themselves
for these last chances to get Office. There
is great squabble among the Radicals in
the Richmond (Va) Congressional dis
trict as to who shall have the honor OF
being beat by Democrat. In Ohio there
is serious trouble in the Radical State
Central Committee, with fair prospect
that it will tumble to pieces. The New
Jersey Radicals are in q perfect ferment.
The Legislature to be elected in the fall
will choose United States Senator, and
the leaders are quarreling as to who shall
have the chance in the event they can
elect the Legislature. In Missouri, the
Radical party is divided, and the leading
men extremely hostile and bitter toward
each other. One side is in favor of so
amending the constitution as to permit
white men to vote, while the other side
is opposed to any such amendment Gov.
McCurg leads the latter faction, and will
be its candidate for Governor. The anti
prescriptions are led by B. Gratz Brown
and the St. Louis Democrat. Brown
will run on the anti-proscription ticket
for Governor. The Democrat claims
that the anti-pro scriptionists will control
the coming Radical State Convention and
present Brown as its candidate. No mat
Tor which faction dominates the conven-
ton, the other SIDE VIII navo a candidate
in the field, and thus defeat is certain.
Like the scorpion begirt with fire, the
Radical party is doomed to die of poison
impaired from its own fangs.

ized,n after the prediction Of Senator
Doolittle, and a 'treign of terror, F" the
horrors of which could not be surpassed
in time of war. Terrible as was the muir
der of Mr.. Nathan, there are features in
the wholesale crimes being perpetrated in
North Carolina that throw 1t in the shade.
1t is not one man that falls by the hands
of felon, but whole community of men,
women and children, aprey to the violence,
revengeand lusts of band of armed feloHs.
It is not robbery of money and jewels,
followed by murder, when discovered, OF
one criminal But it is whole commu-
nifty given up to lawless arrest imprison-
ment, beatings, hangings, rapine and
rape, under the authority of the great
government of the United States, as Hol-
den boasts he is backed by General
Grant Now, if New York city needs
four thousand policemen to protect the ne
lives of her opulent and most estimable
citizens while sleeping in their beds, what
do the outraged citizens and the terrified
women in North Carolina need9 VIII
the people of New York, in their misfor-
tune, think of the calamites which Rad
ical ambition has so cruelty visited on the
best and purest members OF society In
North Carolina2 VIII they take II home
to themselves and imagine their feelings,
if instead of the single felon IN Twenty
third street, Holden and a Kirk, and
their icentious brigands, were turned
loose upon that community, and given
full license to plumber, imprison and hang,
with Gen. Grant to back them, and
United States troops standing byto see the
enormities successfully executed 2"

TIE West is growing FESTIVE under the
domineering of New England. The In
dianapolis Journal RadicaD speaks out
very plainly on this point. 1t says:
''The East is trying to force the West
to succumb to the power of its capital
and commercial interest, and seems to be
as ready to add lnsolence to injury as the
slave owners were to crack the whip over
the heads they controlled; snd all this in
the full light of the fact that they are de-
fying a power that is able to crush them.
The STAKEHOLDER has been taught his les
son of sectionalism. The Yankees had
better learn before it is enforced with the
rod"
That is rather rebcllious talk. Sumner
will have to take these Western Radicals
down peg or two or there will be trouble.

SOME time ago the Washington Osron-
icLe advised its Radical friends in the
South, that the only way they could main
tain their supremacy was by taking ''bold
and radical ground" Holden tried this
game in North Carolina-he armed tie
notorious Kirk and his mob and sent them
out to arrest citizens indiscriminately, and
refused to acknowledge the authority of
the court-but nc did not win. Bullock
tried it in Georgia, and he has just expe-
rienced signal failure.

the Radical Executive Committee. Chats

CALL FOR A STATE CON-
VENTION. ~ q !


TO the Democratic and Conservative
Voters of the state of Tennessee.
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.
1t 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
Democratic and 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, therefofe
for the purpose of preserving harmony
in our ranks and promoting unity of &C.
ton in those elections resolved to call a
convention of the Democratic and Conserv-
alive party of the State to assemble at the
Capitol in this city on Tuesday the 9Th of
September next at II A. M. for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for Gov
ernor, and taking such other steps as may
be necessary to secure the thorough Or
ganization of the party. The several
counties in the State are, therefore
requested on or before the LIST Monday in
September to appoint delegates to that
convention. GEO. J. STUBBLEFIED, "a

The New York Democrat says: eve
should think the Radicals had now be-
come sick of the Butler family in Con-
gress. There are two there now: one
from Massachusetts, and one from Ten
nessee, and such Buffers. But then
they are representative Radicals.

PRosCRrPTtoN

1t is urged in one or two places that the
UNION AND AMERICAN has become pro
scriptiVe because it insists that the plat
form of the State Convention and the can
didate for Governor nominate to advocate
it shall be distinctly, unequivocally and
emphatically in favor of the principles
avowed and maintained by the National
Democracy. Has there been anything in
the conduct of the Democracy of the
North since the last Presidential contest;
has there been any change in their princi-
pies, which should make us less willing to
unite with them now than then? As in
dicative of the feelings of the opponents
of Radicalism in Tennessee IN 1868, we
republish from the files Of the Banner of
May, of that year, the call for the State
Convention, and the call for the Davidson
County Convention: ~ AIR m
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTIONS GALL
ISSUED FOR THE NINTH OF JUNE.
By direction of the Democratic Central
Committee, State Convention is called

pose of appointing delegates to attend the

will meet in the city of New York on the
4th day of July next. The people of the
different counties throughout the State are
requested to hold County Conventions and
appoint delegates to represent them in
said State Convention. ,g5i.u1s nsod = z

A DANGEROUS counterfeit fifty-cent
fractional currency note of the new issue
has Just been put in circulation. 1t close
resembles the genuine. The paper
used in the genuine is pink tinted. The
counterfeit is slightly greenish in color,
and the face is somewhat blurred. The
words fractional currency and stamps are
darby shaded, which is not the, case in
the genuine. There is also a difference
in the back of the notes. The plates
upon which the genuine notes are printed
have been changed so often that people
find it difficult to become familiar with the
genuine before the counterfeit makes its
appearance.
