MR The Murfreesboro Moni

p@ The Murfreesboro Moni-
tor after announcing the with
drawal of Gen. Palmer from the
congressional canvass, pithily and
sensibly defines its position as fol-
lows
This week we place the name
of Gen. Jno. NJ. Bright at the
head of our columns as our choice
for Congressman from this district.
Gen. Palmer having withdrawn
from the race, there are none that
we prefer to Gen. Bright, and we
shall accordingly, advocate his re-
election. The convention to meet
at Shelbyville on the 9Th of next
month will, probably, simply 60
through with the formality of
nominating Gen. Bright by accla-
nation, as Gen. Palmer is the only
man in the district who would
have the ghost of chance, before
that body or the people, against
him.

A Characteristic Warning

The Washington Chronicle is
said to be Senator Harlan's paper,
and it certainly is one OF General
Grants organs. In it's editorial
columns it publishes the. following,
which it proudly says is from a
"silver-tongued champion of free
dom, and is given as warning
to colored men against the peril
of voting for the Baltimore nomi.
nee"-Horace Greeley:
"No negro can vote for Greeley
who values his life or property, or
cares for bis race. If, by a frown
OF Providence, he is elected, l shall
advise every Southern loyalist to
load the Ievolvers that Grants
arrest of North Carolina Kuklux
has allowed to be laid aside. If
he is elected, let the negroes live
in squads of fifty, whom no coward
will dare shoot down, and show
no property after sunset. Lonely
men will be shot, and no black
man will own mule forty.eight
hours if any rebel knows the fact"
What do respectable Republi-
cans think of such o villainous lie
from one of President Grants home
organs?

H% Hon John 2. Stockton,
U. S. Senator from New Jersey,
and who was q delegate to the
Baltimore Convention and to the
end opposed the nomination of
Greeley, has written and published
a letter in the Newark Journal in
which he takes the ground that it
is the duty of all Democrats to
sustain the nomination. He says:
Now, sir, since the high court
of the party has spoken, there
can be no difference of opinion
among Democrats. Party usage
as well as the higher considera-
tons of patriotism, will unite the
the Democrats of New Jersey as
one man on their nominee; and |
doubt not that New Jersey will
cast her vote in the electoral col.
Iege for Horace Greeley. $ l
trust and believe that those Dem
ocrats, like myself, who have alb
stained from any movement out
side Of the party organization, will
now unite as one man in this sacred
duty, and show that the old Dem
ocratic party can still, as hereto
fore, make a sacrifice of all pref
udice and passion, and can join
with all patriotic citizens in a de
termined effort to preserve at least
such liberty as has been left to US
by the usurpations CT the Radical
Congress caucus and the military
power.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 5, 1872. |
Mr. Editor-DEAR SIR-You
will please give place in your
valuable paper to a few OF my
thoughts OH these words "Mem-
hers one of another. - Romans
1915.
You see that prison in that
city of brotherly love? In its
exterior apps arance it presents
the finest combination of architec-
tursl skill and taste. 1t is built
of solid granite, and altogether is
one of the most magnificent Struc-
lures any where to be found. At
first sight you would suppose it
the abode of calm peace, retire
ment and happiness. Its inmates
are provided with every essential
necessary, convenience and even
comfort of life. But neverthe-
less there is one source OF misery
there, more horrible and eXcruci-
ating than language is able to ex-
press. Each individual inhabi.
tant of that apparently magnifi-
cent abode, is compelled to live
entirely alone. lie is buried in
solitude. No brothers face TO
see; no human voice to hear; no
sympathising hand to feel but
from morning to night, and from
night till morning, his solitude re-
mains unbroken. There are
wretched and desperate men there
who have drank to the dregs the
cup of human sorrow in every
9th r form; who have periled
their lives IN every kind of ad-
venture and suffering; whose
miserable existence has resembled
tue flashing of the sea in its fury !;
and yet, in every other condition
heretofore experienced with friends
and companions to cheer and sus-
tain them, they have often raised
the loud laugh of transport and
joy. but ROW every pulsation of
gladness is completely hushed.-
The features stiff, rigid and mo-
lionless, betray the feelings of a
soul which shows nothing but ag-
ony and despair. Each individu-
al is constrained to feel the truth
of those familiar words of the
| poet, and to say to himself,
go solitude, where are thy charms,
Which sages have seen in thy face,
! Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than to reign in this horrible place"
o give me the rack, give me
the gibbet, give me fire, l care not
what may be the nature of the
torments which the laws may
mete out TO me, for | have deserved
them all; but do not confine me
in this dungeon alone. Do not
utterly exclude me from human
sympathy. Do not thus compel
me to prey upon myself and to
become my own tormentor.-
Yours, &c. SERENUs.

this paragraph going:
"Point wherever you please to
an election precinctwhich you will
pronounce morally rotten--given
up in great part to debauchery
and whose voters subsist
mainly by keeping policy Offices,
gambling houses, grog shops and
dark dens of infamy; and that
district will be found giving a large
majority for that which styles
itself the Democratic party"
Grant and Boutwell,, and Beast
Butler and the like belonged to
the Democratic party then, but it
is purified now by their absence.

ES In 1910 the Democrats
laughed heartily over the nomina-

months, then it grew serious. The
GRANTEES have had their laugh

now their mouths are beginning
to straighten. AS the matter
grows more serious they console
themselves by asserting that more
Democrats will stay at home, or
vote for Grant, than Republicans
that will vote for Greeley.

Ike Mr.. Bayard, of Delaware,
who was the principal opponent
to Greeley in the Baltimore Cor
vention,.h has addressed a long let
ter to the Delaware Democracy
telling them that their best way
now is to support Greeley and
Brown. We copy below the clos
ing paragraph of Mr.. Bayard'S
letter:
Events as they now confront us
were shaped in opposition to our
efforts, and as they are we are not
responsible for them; but we are
responsible for our mode of de ling
with them now; and | hope our
State Convention will promptly
and decidedly nominate an electo-
raj ticket in opposition to Grant
and Wilson, and in favor Of the
only candidates who, as matters
now stand, can be hopefully ex-
pected to defeat them-I mean
Greeley and Brown, for whom l
expect to vote on the fifth day OF
November next. l hope to return
home by the middle of September,
with my health restored, and en-
abled TO take part in the polit-
ical canvass. The subject to
which this letter relates has given
me a great deal Of anxiety and
distress, which | know is shared
by thousands Of true men of the
same political party in this State;
but | believe that my decision is
the right one, and l know that it
is founded upon honest motives.
This only alternative to a whole or
halfway aid to prevent Grants re-
election may be hard for us to
adopt, but | think it is our duty,
and so trust will you and the en-
tire Democracy ofDeIaware. Your
friend sincerely,
