the 'ssprigs" and "bloods" OF Lon
don TO tie up an arm or a leg, and
turn out for an airing in the park, IS
wounded officer nom the battle
fields; but who, during the fight, had
not been out of hearing OF "Bowe-
Bella" The thing took for q time,
and many q fair lady "oh'd" and
'sah'd" in sympathy and admiration,
as one Of these unhurt but bandsged
tricksters went im2ing by. ''There
goa poor fellow who bled at Water
loo, says one. "Where9D says
another, " do let me get a sight of the
brave" And men, too, raised their
hats and bowed in thankful recogni-
ton to the unknown but wounded
hero Of Waterloo. We have many
Waterloo heroes during the present
day. Whenever a friend to the de-
funct but righteous Confederate cause,
conceiges the idea of joining the
Radicals In their infamous crusade
upon the South; patriotism bubbles
npon his lips, while treason is sim
msring Ia his heart. He unwraps
his sores, and hold them up with SIS
much pride as Arnold felt in airing
his broken leg. An such seem to
reckon, that becausea jack-daW con-
tinuaIly caws upon the church steeple,
It Is q religious bird, and they hope
by holding up their former devotion
TO the cause, they propose to spit
upon, 10 be as successful as the Water
loo impestors at London. Whenever
yen hear q Democrat prating about
his patriotism, inveighing against
partyism, and cajoling, faFning and
wheeling the working masses, you
may put him down as a religious
jsck-daw, pulling upon the church
spire, q Waterloo swashbuckler strut
ting In the political park. Colyar and
his little crew must presume largely
upon the ignorance or the gullibility
OF the Democracy of Tennessee, OF
they would not attempt to win them
rom their allegiance by such contem-
dbie subterfuge. The first move Of
an ohceseeking demsgogue is to as
sumo a patronizing air toward the
working men OF Tennessee, who are
eontenbedan happy,g get as much work
as they desire at high prices, and as
everybody now labor, to appeal to the
passions and p~rejudices of working
men is to address the whole people.
The working men are able to take
care Of themselves. The demagogues
who propose to become their political
Moses, treat them as II they had no
friends, Wa alone In the world, have
no senssto guide their interests, and
would 90 to ruin If the kind dema-
gogue should withhold his hand. The
working men Of Tennessee have not
asked COlyzr and his new party hum
bug TO take charge Of them. OF sill
others, the working men are
the strongest, most manly and
~selfreliant. As their bodies are
nun CT thews and sinews. so
their minds are full with robust ideas
snd views, and pervaded by a love of
manly independence. It is an insult
for any scft-handed member of any
ofthe professions to put himself for
ward as the peculiar champion Of the |
working men. This Is no compliment
70 their intelligence. They need no
champion. Theycan make their way
through the world without the assis-
lance Of erazed fanatics who should
have guardians appoIntedto keep
them from firing the river. The men
who build cite, ships, engines, cars and
Dridges,and construct all kinds of ma
chinery and manufacture all the fab
zi@ and articles used byman, need no
championship. They are strong and
Intelligent enough to take care of
themselves. This cant about their
weakness and about their being CD
pressed e all nonsense and n.y.
pocrisy and is designed to foment class
isaloasies and preiudsces. In this
community we are all working men,
alike poor, and all compelled to strug-
gle for Our daily bread. Some work
"a one way and some in another. The
works no harder than the
merchant, though his work. is different.
Eor Is one class preferred over another
ir<he Democratic organization. The
ain Il 70 ignore all classes and to keep
out thoss miserable rivalries and ieal-
onsies that are 90 much harped upon
bydemagogues. The political monde
OF Tennessee-the Waterloo
heroes, and the pious jack-daws
have not only taken the working
men uDder their protecting wing, but
they propose 70 lift themselves above
party and TO soar into the realms of
patriotism, the scoundrel's last refuge.
is brazsn enough 90 hear a dema-
gogue, Ia his search for office, cajoling
the working men, and boasting Of his
patriotism, but It Is impudence unap-
proschebie to hear q bitter partisan,
gangreened with hatred, i~nvelghing
against party. A man can be neu-
tral, but no honest politician, whose
sentiments are based on honest con-
and positive principles, can
BE- independent OF partisan bias.
