We call special attention to the advertisement
of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Road, " hich
appears elsewhere To the travelling public this
road offers rare inducements, such as cheap, fare,
excellent cars, quick time, attentive othcers and
employees. It Is a real luxury to travel from
Bristol to Mobile in one of Pullman's Palace
cars without changing 1t, to some extent,
combines the conveniences OF home with the
pleasures of travelling through fertile and in
teresting country.
To those who have shipping to do, it is in
deed, popular route:
The freights are as low or lower than other
routs, the transit is rapid and the best Southern
Markets are reached. East Tennessee shippers
will find this a favorable route for their bust
ness
The officers of the road have been fortunate
in procuring the services of Gaines NJ Harril
Of this place, as ticket agent. He will sell tick
cts over this popular route at the lowest rates
They are determined that their line shall not
be excelled by any in the country.

who did not receive the nomination. He
says:
/ had hoped that such wise counsels
would have prevailed at our State Conven-
ton as to have almost insured our success !;
in which event l would have given all of
labor, influence, and strength [ have to a
noble cause for which 1 have heretofore la
bored. But Sin the house of its friends, -
at that Convention, were dealt the deadli-
est blows to the Democracy it has yet re-
ceiYed. The voters of our party
are not uniformed of the false position
the party is placed in. They know we are
going before the people this Fall with at
least two untruths glaringly conspicuous
in our front. When the Convention took
upon itself to declare that the Democracy
of this State recognized as accomplished
facts the two latest (so-called) amendments
to the Constitution, and regarded them as
no longer political issues before the coun-
try, it stated an untruth. Nothing in the
politics, then or now, has more affected
the hearts and minds of Democratic voters
than these, there denominated dead issues.
If the Democratic party is moribund then
its political priests may be allowed to die
tate to it confessions of sins of their defin-
ing. But they have certainly made the
party to appear like the dying African,
who, when asked by his preacher if he was
ready to die, and whether he had forgiven
his enemies, and especially his colored
neighbor, between whom and himself
there had long been feud, answered: "If
Use gwine to die, forgive him but if [
gets well, dat darkey had better look out
for hisself."
