Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-07-13

The Ledger and the Kentucky
BCurbOns have no claims upon the
Democracy. They represent the Old
Men OF the Sea, whom the Democracy
mss shaken from its shoulders. They
cling to the name Of Democracy, and
are doing al in their power TO pre-
vent its success.-AUGlGRche.
The writer of the above, while pen
ming it, TO doubt laughed in his sleeve
at his own unapprOaehsble impudence.
During the whole Of last year the
AraJOacbe not only renowned but
denounced Democracy. twas charged
by all with being an independent
paper with Republican prochyi-
ties. 1t opposed every effort of
the Democratic party to organ
ize for the purpose Of de-
featiDg the Radical carpet baggers
who had so long plundered the peo-
pie. The Democratic party held con-
ventiOns and nominated candidates;
but the A~Ua5aaeAe sneered at its tick
ct and voted for such men as Lee,
Hudson and Greeley, in preference to
Morgan, YeTger, Flippin and John
Brown. From day to dsy, it attacked
the Democratic party, sheered at its
name, and opposed its organization.
We could I'LL every page and column
of q entire issue Of the Appeal
with the AUGlOache's assaults upon
the Democratic party. The extract
below is q sample Of hundreds OF 9TH
ers which We intend to reproduce:
The Avalanche is sindependenf,~
and viii continue to be so. The old
APPEAL viii never be able to under
stand anything but opposition to negro
suffrage and the Fifteenth Amend
ment, as taught by the Philadelphia
Age. The AUGIdal he has never labor
ed to prove that the people OF Shelby
county are partisan, but has proved
that the 50 called leaders Of the so
called Democratic party are partisan
and prOscriptive. The old APPEAL
PIRATES about the Democratic party of
the North, and says We struck a blow

were nominated whose war record
was without spot or blemish. These
same Democrats turned their backs on
Forrest and Hampton and will do 30
again. Yet to this venal set OF politi-
cal hucksteTs the APPEAL clings and
because the AU0JGaehe does not, saws
we are labOLing TO prove toe good
people OF Shelby county to be parti-
san. If patriotism be the last refuge
of the scOundrel, what sort of a crea-
tUre must be he, who takes refuge IN
exclusive craftsmanship, when there
are no parties2-MGy "a 1870.
After Uttering such sestiaeBts as
the above, after opposing the orpani-
zatien Of the Democratic party 1eyi
twelve months, and after voting for
Radicals, this apostate marches iorth
and says such Democrats as the Louis.
