and. Reform flag, and pledged ourselves
in every possible channel we would sur
port their ticket. The Democratic peo-
pie finally believed. The greatest and
best and most eminent Liberals felt it,
and led the way and raised the flag, and
the Democrats North and South have
hailed it with joy; and if they have not,
as a few yet presume TO say, pledged
themselves, then they ought and will do
it, and will refuse to crown u noun
tain of misfortunes with a last worst act
of perfidy. And as one citizen Of Ar
kansas, true always to the honor and
rights Of the South, and sharing the Sc
cession and restitution ofall her disasters,
and as a strict State Rights Union man,
now that the wal is over, and considers
ing any contrary policy hereafter a poll
cy of endless war on this continent, and
as a Southern Democrat too, ] cannot
and will not consent to break with the
Liberals. Even if / were without more
to say, 1 should regard this as enough;
but / have scarcely touched the mass OF
facts that are weights and the gravest
reasons, which require of us at the Bal
timore Convention the open and manly
adoption of the action taken at Cincin-
matt.

The Democratic nominee for Tax
Collector cannot be defeated by the
falsehoOds concocted for his destruction.
If there is a man in Shelby county who,
by thirty years of ~unvarying honesty,
has won a reputation for truth and in
tegrity, that man is George R. Powell.
He is ~proverbial for truth and honesty.
In all the varied positions which he has
filled as a trusted servant Of the people,
he has preserved his reputation unfair
nished. He has never scattered the.
peoples money owe the county, thick
as autumnal leaves, for the purpose Of
securing his reelection. A few weeks
since Mr.. Powell committed the great
crime Of permitting his name to go be-
fore the people Of Shelby county a a
candidate for Tax-Collector This was
the signal for turning loose the tdogs of
war;" and the Radicals are bounding at
his heels. Knowing that he could not
be defeated in q fair and open fight,
the Radicals have undertaken to
lie down his character. The
Radicals have been declaring for a
week that M. Powell favored the
election OF William Mclean, two years
ago for a consideration. The card which
Mr.. Powell published in the APPEAL Of
yesterday puts a quietus to this first
Radical calumny Of the campaign. MI.
Powell assures US that be voted for the
Democratic nominee when Mclean was
elected; made no trade with any one;
has received nothing, and he demands
tbath 2 users make good their charge
or az the ISLANDERS fabricated for his
deseu, n. There Is an innate DISPOSE
ton H. breast Of mankind to shield
and p sct the character Of an honest
man uHyustly assailed. This is the first
time that an attempt has been made to
Islander down g. r. Powell, and the
people who have known him 80 long
and fayorably win take care Of his repu-
tation. They viii visit a terrible retri-
button on the Radicals who concocted
the falsehOOd and the candidate for whose
benefit it was forged. A good man Hke
George r. Powell, whose name is prof.
verbal for truth and honesty, cannot be
defeated in Shelby county by bold and
unblushing charges which have moi
shadow of foundation in truth. The
Islander first originated ia wlnks and
mods, then by insinuations and soft-buz-
zing whispers, until the air was sum-
GENTLY im~pregnated with the miasma,
then the charge was boldly asserted.
Mr.. Powell bids defiance to those who
originated the falsehood, demands the
proof, or a retraction. He assures us
that the charge, in whole and in part, in
general and in particular, is an arrant
and anmitigated calumny. Woe to the |
originators.

GREELEY. POWELL AND DOYLE VS..
GRANT, CURRY AND M'L.EAN.


Horace Greeley is opposed to pro-
scription, Acknowledgement and disa-
hilities. He is opposed to carpetbagism.
He is opposed to military rule and the
persecution OF our people. He is opposed
to the thievish rings which bankrupt the
masses to enrich the rogues. He is OPP
posed TO extravaganza in administering
the government, and high taxes upon
the people. He is opposed to two terms
in the Presidential office-the firsltern
being employed in bribing the way with
stolen money for a second term. He is
opposed to squsndering the public do
main upon the swindlers who bride
the President and Congress TO pass in
iquitous railroad bills. He is opposed to
putting incompetents into office, ever
should they be kin to the President. He
is opposed TO making a Poland Of the
South, and in favor OF vi ling our peo-
pie by the law of kindn In brief,
in all the living issues of the hour, Mr.
Greeley and the South are in perfect
accord. His platform ard his let
ter embrace all for which we can
now contend. The Democratic
nominees, whose names float at
the masthead Of the APPEAL, are the
friends of Horace Greeley, but Curry
and Mclean are against him, because
he is the friend of the Southern people
and entertains these liberal views. Curry
and Mclean, the Radical candidates In
Shelby county, are the supporters of
Grant, because his election mean Op-
preston and military rule in the South,
and not the policy of reconciliation;
protection to the shameless carpetbag
governments that have bankrupted the
South; means the cherishing Of hatred
and animosity between the North and
means despotism, usurpation,
corruption, nepOtism. The election of
Grant means all this; yet Curry and
Mclean favor his election, and ask
who have and who will con-
tinue to suffer by these usurpatiOns, to
vote for them. Powell and Jack Doyle
are the equals Of Mclean and Curry in
all the social relations of life; their bust
ness capacities are not inferior, and
what motive have Democrats for voting
against such Democrats and for Radi-
Gals?

J.. MATHES-
THE MECHANICs FoR GREELEY

In every section Of the Union, the me-
chances arc raIlying to the support Of
Greeley. They know that his election
to the Presidency would be a high COM
pliment to the lsboring masses, and they
feel interested in his success. All con-
cede that Greeley has committed errors
of judgment-erred in political eeono-
my, but everybody comedies to him
great talent and honesty. They who
live by hard physical labor-the me
chanic, the artisan, the miner and the
plowhOlder-the d~ay-laborer in every
humble vocation Of life-all these have
never a word to utter against the integ-
rity and kindly simplicity Of character
Of the vhite-eoated philosopher who
would rather be fooled in doing q gener-
Gus act than earn a reputation for smart
ness by some hard, cunning stroke that
sets him Up as anicicle or leaves him with
the trail Of the serpent owe him. Here,
then, is a vast element in politics, drawn
from all parties, which VIII come up
with enthusiasm and perfectly in
traetable VIII give their support to the
Cincinnati nominee. The American
lsborer becomes daily more Of q think
L- cb- seter, and he runs naturally
L. tho lmiration Of a true man.
Alreadv the prelude to the deafen-
inc = Tits which are to rise from
these men for "Unele Horace" begins
to hum on the air and awaken the real
free press Of our country to invigorated
life. One hears it on the street-one
catches it in the workshOp-and no in
telligent man doubts the result. L viii
result inthe triumphant election of Gree
ley. He will be lifted to the highest
civil magistrscy in the world, upon the
votes Of men who get their living by the
sweat Of their brow. No one who
has not studied the labor movements
Of the past few years knows how
many well-informed, bright, capable
leaders there are among these working
men. The politician may not do much
with them, but in their own behalf, with
their own purposes and peculiar pride,
they will stand by the Greeley ticket,
advancing it to victory. With these
men Grant has no strength-no Repub-
liean Of the Grant clan has any strength
with them which can be compared with
Greeley. They begin to see the vicious
ness and inconsistency Of the Grant pol
icy and desire a fraternity with their
Southern brethren which they can
at present enjoy. They also,
three-fourths Of them, are not con-
tent with the social offenses, of
earpetbag instgstion, which are now
so justly complained Of in the South.
They see that Greeley viii abide by the
untrammeled viii Of the people. They
see that Grant never meant it, and that
Grants gang Of managers will allow no
candidate Of theirs 70 mean it.
