The one Darling object of large and &C.
tive fraction Of Mr.. Johnson's supporters,
is the defeat and disruption of the Democ-
racy. These disorganizers bate him per-
sonally and politically like cold poison; but
they take him as q sscrooked stiek' to beat
the Democracy. That Cheatham is the
stronger man, to beat the Radical Maynard,
is now notorious. The address of the
State Committee has gone forth into every
hill and hollow, and tue sturdy yeomanry
who have holy horror of Maynard, Brown
low & Crew, are massed for the Democra-
cy and its nominees. The johnson betting
men hsve completely drawn in their horns.
Acts speak louder than words.
Now, what win these disorganizers do,
that the crisis is upon them? They have
had no use for johnson, but to defeat the
Democracy; and since it is plain be cannot
do il, will they fuse with the Radicals on
Maynard, as their last desperate chance to
defeat our nominee? Democrats, keep your
eye on them. They are already in open
communion with the Radicals in Nashville
and in Memphis. They are supporting
legislative tickets half Radical and half
johnson. Acts speak louder than words.
We know there have been honest thou
sands who supported johnson with
out any such treacherous intents
as the disorganizers. And it exactly
suits their plan to do ali in their power to
make such honest Democrats stick to John
son till the last. Hence their continued
bravado in public, insisting that johnson is
the strongest man after ali possibility of
his success is buried forty fathoms deep.
They keep up this game Of brag, because
they want Democrats to stand by johnson
and weaken Cheatham while they slip
over to the enemy. Democrats, do you see
the triek9 They have been laboring for
years to disrupt the Democracy. Acts
speak louder than words.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

Now that the Johnsonites cannot longer
Disguise even from their own followers, the
hopelessness Of their cause, they begin to
whisper of doing mighty things by swap
ping votes-swapping Greeley, or any other
name On their ticket for a johnson vote.
They tell their dupes that Johnson's
strength can be greatly increased in this
way. 1t is unnecessary to show up the
"croOkedness" of such a trick Oh thepart Of
'original Greeley men, for the reason that
Il cannot be carried out. They wont find
a1y body to swap with. The Democrats
wont do it., Of a certainty. And the Radi-
Gals wont swap good chance fer poor
one. Maynard's election is among the dan
gerots possibilities; while Grants election
in Tennessee by swapped votes, is too big =
joke to dupe even BAD Gals. Better whistle,
to keep your courage up.

LISTEN To TExE WORDS OF A GOOD
AND WISE STATESMAN.

The venerable and distinguished R. N.
T. Hunter, Of Virginia, in his recent able
speech at Richmond, uses the following
words, which appeal with greater force TO
the people Of Tennessee at this time, than
to those Of any other State:
"Fellow- citizens, Virginia has been vast.
ed and worn by the war, wasted and worn
beyond what is known by the outside
world. But she knew what she staked,
and she has made no complaint or murmur
because she lost her cause with The world
against her. She did not beg when she
was trampled upon; she did not whine
when she suffered, but she bore it all In
the same great spirit Of which her sons are
so Justly proud. awe have lost all save
honor" vas the great saying Of the King
after the battle Of Pavia-a saying Of
which the French are so justly proud.
The consciousness OF having saved their
honor, bealed the pain of the sense Of de-
feat Fellow citizens, this is the feeling
which has reconciled the sons Of Virginia
10 alltheir sufferings. The State has saved
her honor, on let her not lose it now"

A letter from a gentleman now travelling
in West Tennessee, dated Brownsville.
Nov. l, says: "Phe condition of things in
West Tennessee is even better than / ex-
pected to find them. The Democrats are
rallying to Cheatham. In this county (Hay-
woody where it was thought johnson had
some strength, it is now thought that he
viii not receive more than 800, while Gen.
Cheatham viii receive about 1,700 votes.
In Dyer county where the johnson men in
Nashville claim some votes, it is said Cheat
ham will receive at least fyet one of the
whole vote of the county.
"In Crockett county there is not fifty
johnson men and SO It is in other parts of
West Tennessee where l have been,
''It is now certain that johnson will not
carry single county in West Tennessee.
In Shelby it win be close, but the chances
are decidedly in favor of CheathaIn. l
saw mon at M'Kenzie from several of the
counties and they all concur in the state
ments l have given you, and you can safely
make yolr calculations on these facts.
Cheatham's majority in West Tennessee
can not be less than $1,000 and changes
are daily going on in hts favor"
A gentleman at MorristoWn, Hamblin
county, under date of Slst October, says,
81 shall write you but few lines to say
that our county of Hamblin is Y right,
and getting better every day on the Cheat
ham question. 1 am satisfied that Gen1
Cheatham will get three-fourths of the
Democratic vote of the county. The
County and Senatorial candidates had 1900
tickets printed for Cooke and adjoining
counties; on these they had Gen1 Cheat
hams name placed On 1900, aud A. Us. on
200. This shows which way the wind
blows. Hawkins county will give Gen'l
Cheatham much larger vote than to Mr..
johnson, at least 2 to l. Gov. Harris did
nobly here and at RogersVilie, and made
many votes for Genl Cheatham."
From lawyer of high standing and who
has attended Court during the past two
months in the counties estimated by him,
writing from Lexington, Oct. 81, says:
"The Democracy and Liberals in this coun-
ty are well organized and will vote the
ticket with but little dissention The
independents" assisted by their organ,
the Nashville Banner and few Radicals,
are making great eff rts however, one of
the most violent and influential Radicals in
the county receives weekly large number
Of the aforesaid paper, l suppose for gra-
uitous distribution. 1 have recently been
in and over several counties and can ap-
proxtmate the result, which is as follows:

THE UNION GF EEE PUssE AND
SWORas.

SWORas.
Wlo controls the Secretary of the Trea-
ury with his one or two hundred million
dollars in gold, and paper equivalent to
gold, in hand? Gen. Grant. Who con-
trolls Gen. Grant? Gamblers in govern
ment bonds, railroad and bank stocks, in
the farmers grain, -four, meat aud other
provisions, and in all other products of
American industry. Experience has proved
which is perhaps the best test of every
thing-that by g simple Treasury order to
sell gold in New York, or buy bonds, pro-
duces a change in values Of fifty million
dollars in American property, for the ben
eft Of spectators. It matters not to the
knoloing ones, who run this government
machine to re-elect Grant and swindle hon
est men out of untold millions, whether
prices 90 up or down. To vote for the re-
election Of Grant, is to vote for the art and
prac.ias of robbing the many TO enrich the
few, and using the peoples money by the
million TO corrupt weak minded voters. a
change OF administration is demanded by
the best interests Of the country. 1t is to
meet and cure evils Of this character that
the Constitution requires an appeal TO the
ballot-box and the moral sense of the nation
every four ye&rs, In electiDg its Chief Magis-
trate. Rotation in Office applies especially
to all incumbenSs exposed to great tempta
tions. The wealth Of the country is so large,
and its legislative and executive duties 50
msmentous, that none but men distinguish
ed for their honesty and intelligence should
bs placed in office. To-day military chief
tain uses the gold of the nation to purchase
the too money loving, North, and the sword
of the nation to crush the too much humil-
lated and robbsd South.

The Jackson (Tenn.) Wing and Tribune
says of the recent speech Of Horace May
nard in that city:
"He was exquisitely mild on Gen. Andy
johnson, but devoted considerable time to
Gen. Cheatham and his party. 1t was evi-
dent to all, not too deeply prejudiced to see,
that Maynard was fearful Of making votes
against johnson, and that Cheatham was
really his opponent. Throughout his en-
tire speech he sought to allsy all fears of
his (Maynard's) election, and indirectly en-
couraged the johnson men to persevere in
their mad and dangerous career of disor-
ganization. This fact cannot fail to have
impressed itself on all calm-minded men
who heard the discussion, and in it is SOL
emn warning to US TO stand by our organi-
cation if we would defeat Radcaism."

YOUR AgTENTI0s, DEMOGRAEs

The city Of Nashville is claimed as The
great johnson stronghold. 1t was here he
was dominated by fifteen thousand" on
paper. The johnson strength in Nash
vile is grossly exaggerated. We offer in
proof their fusion with ne R4cicals on
the Legislative ticket. Is not this a plain
proof that they have 10 hope Of carrying
Davidson county without Radical assist
ance? What could be palmer? Demo-
Gratis, make note of it. Davidson coun-
ty will do her duty against the Disorgan-
izers and Radicals combined.

20 the Voters Of Davidson and
Wilson Counties:

When 1 became candidate, determined to
conduct the canvass on high-tOned and hOnOra-
BILE principles. You will discover from my form
er circular that strictly avoided using single
word that would be offensive to any one. In nv
circular | stated facts, which were Endorsed by
the Chairman and Secretary OF the Convention.
DIR. GeaVes, in his reply, has seen tit 70 charge
me with dishonesty, dissim ulatOn and duplicity;
and makes some round assertions to sIfhstantiate
them, and states that / should have said, ''for
the sake of harmony would Withdraw from the
canvass" and that when a vote of thanks was
rendered made courteous and polite bow;
which statement is lot correct, according to nv
recollection. He was informed by one of our
mutual friends, who was member of the Con-
vention, before he published his circular, that
L made no such statement. My name never was
presented to the joint convention that nominated
DR.. Gleaves. 1t was before the Wilson deleea-
ton; when DR.. Glesves refused TO abide the de-
cisiOn under the majority rule, and / was re-
leased, and withdrew my name from the COnven-
tion. He never did agree publicly to abide the
action of the Convention. In regard to nv
being recommended by the Republican Exec
utive Committee, desire to state that l was
not acquainted with any of its members and
knew nothing Of its action, and by reference
to the daily Banner of the 30th instant YOU will
find they publish: "We desire to state, such ac-
ton was taken by the committee, after fully
satisfying themselves of his (Col. HamitOn'sl
eminent qualifications for the office, on their own
responsibility, and without consultation with the
gentlemen named or his friends, signed Official
" by the Chairman and Secretary.
While am willing and anxious to get the vote
of any party don't want to be misunder-
stood, or sail under false colors. In my former
circular l stated my political sentiments, which
no one, that knows me, will doubt DIR. Gieaves
has some experience in legislation, and his OIL
cial acts are public property. As a sample of
his ability to legIsate will refer you to one bill
he introduced. By reference to House journal
of '55-56, you will find Btl No. 2i2, entitled bill
to provide for lunatics to amend the divorce laws
and for other purposes, which provided that per
Inanent insanity was sufficient cause for divorce.
Marriage is the most important institution of
life; those married forsase former friends and
associates, pledged to share each others jys and
sorrows. In after years. one is smitten by the
hand of misfortune; shall the unfortunate one
be fOrsaken, and the other released from early
pledges2 The picture is too dark Humanity
shrinks from the contemplation of it. L earnest
" appeal to the voters of this Senatorial District
for their support, and hope they viii not permit
slanderous reports to influence their action on
the eve Of the election.

InnNsnx - rnRmPHIS

There has been a good deal of loud talk
through the canvass about Memphis being a
johnson stronghold. The withdrawal of
A. J. Kellar, the independent" johnson
candidate for Con gress, tells a different
story. The game of b huff fails even in'the
Bluff City" The crisis has come, and
Kellar is forced to retire from an utterly
hopeless struggle. Acts spesk louder than
words. Cheatham is the strong man, to
beat Maynard, in Memphis as well as every
where else.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-11-03

81 am of the opinion that the vote will not
be far from this estimate. We estimate
johnson here at 40, but we know Of but
eight men that are for him, bHt think they
can probably carry some more. West
Tennessee will 'everlastingly salivate' the
ex-President, and go for old Frank with a
perfect hurrah."
From Sparta, White county, We have the
folio sing of Oct 81: "The Great Com
moner,' as the Banner styles Mr.. johnson,
came to-day, accompanied by Mr.. Maynard,
The few Johson men about Sparta had
been boasting that Col. Savage dare not
meet Mr.. johnson, and that the Cheatham
men would not ask it. But application was
made upon their,ar-ival for a division Of
time, and after consultation between John
son and Maynard, they agreed that Col.
Savage should speak 45 minutes,
in advance, which he did to the
satisfaction of every Chatham man pres
ent. When his time expired, Mr.. May
nard spoke for two hours, but did not
greatly encourage his friends. Mr.. John
son then took the stand, but being quits
hoarse from speaking in the open air COM
planned very much. BE reiterated his
campaign speech. have heard him fire.
qIently, and have heard others speak OF it,
all Of whom say he did not come up to
their expectations, and that all were dis
appointed. Not single cheer was given
nor any applause.
"When Mr.. johnson concluded, Col. Saw
age replied and did good execution. The
crowd was large and very respectful to all
the speakers. At the close of Col. Savage's
speech, while abiding to Gen. Cheathsm,
a perfect shower Of boquets from the ladies
covered the stand"
A letter from Shelbyville says: "John-
son and COlyar have been here. The 'Old
Guard is at work and we feel confident
that we viii carry Bedford. Rest assured
that the Democracy of Bedford will do
their full duty. We have known Colyar
long time and do not want him to furnish
rs political candidates or political priuci-
Mes"
