Greeley's First Veto.


The Chicago Post has obtained the fol.
lowing advance message by President
Greeley:
"An Act TO raise revenae by imposing
tar Of ten cents a ton on guano.
COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
Ireturn this obnoxious measure without
my approval. The man who introduced
it is On ass; the men who voted for 1t are
scheming British agents, and the men
who say this is not the case are liars and
horse thieves. Ijudge that. on an aver
age. every man, woman and child in
America uses a ton of guano year. in
some shape or other; whether as q farm.
er in New York. Louisiana. Colorado, Po.
dunk. etc.. in agriculture; or as Charles
A. Dana, for editorial articles. We thus
consume. in round figures 40, 600 tons Of
guano annually. The arbitrary and row.
olutisnary act which / veto to-day would
thus impose lax Of four million dollars
a year on our people. With what effect ?
1t would not stimulate the production OF
American guano. American birds could
not compete with the paupcr labor birds
in debauched and priest-ridden Central
America. am not quite sure as to what
| mean or why it is so. or what is which,
but the man who speaks to the contrary
is hell hound and bribed by British gold.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

such beautiful, beautiful hands,
They're neither white nor small,
And YOU, 1 know, would scarcely think
That they were tair al all.
Pve looked on hands whose form aud line
A sculptor 's dream might be,
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands
Most beautiful 10 me.
such beautiful, beautiful hands
Though heart were weary and sad,
Thsse patient hands kept lOiling on
That chil,lren might be glad.
almost weep, as, looking back
To childhood's distant day,
Ihink how these hands rested not,
when Minis were at their play.
But, Oh beyond this shadow land,
Where all Is bright and fair,

VIII palms OF victory bear;
whcre crystal streams, through endless tin
Flow over golden sands,
And where the young grow ola again,
IN clasp my msther's hands.

AS WE ENPECrED-

The Knoxville Press and Herald has a
brief account of the speaking at Morris
town last Monday by GsF. Harris, to whom
John Baxter Of Knoxville replied. We clip
the following relative to Bakers speech:
The speaker then pursued his usual line
OF argument in wholesale attacks on the
honesty of our State officials, charging cor
ruptiOn in his usual vehement manner.
The Governor, in his opinion, was no bet
ter than be Should be, and the gentlemen
who are assisting him in the arduotls duties
ofthe administration Cfthe State affairs,
were human and full OF faiings.
The Democratic party came in
for passing notice and was knocked about
pretty lively. Baxter wanted to get all the
bad men out Of the party and thought it
would be good organization if purged OF
that never to-be-forgotten corruption"
which, though never visible, has always
been an abiding rrticle of faith with him.
Here we have one of Mr.. Johnson's ad-
vocates on the stump making war on the
Democratic State officials and on the
Democratic party. We know of no prom
inent advocate of Mr.. johnson who pro-
nounced in favor Of Gov. Brown or of the
Democratic party. The chronic disorgan-
izers are taking advantage of Mr.. Johnson's
candidacy by increasing their efforts to dis
rupt the Democratic party. They would not
support Mr.. johnson if he was the nomi-
nee Of the party and was struggling for or
ganization and the reelection of Gov.
Brown. They take him as "a crooked
stick" to beat Democracy. Democrats,
viii you help these disorganizers to break up
your party, by voting against its nomi-
nees?

ARISING AE.IIES

There are symptoms Of sharp struggle
IN Ohio on Tuesday next. a special effort
| is BEING made bp the Democratic leaders to
| rally ali their forces. The stay -at-home
gentry are TO be hunted up personally aud
dragged out. That means business. The
Liberals viii be al the polls, every man of
them, and if the BouTbons are extracted
from their shells there will be several per-
! sons astonished before the world is ten days
Older.-C Cincinnati Commercial.
II, unfortunately, the full Democratic
vote should not be poled in Ohio, the
| Commercial can only blame Itself for hav-
ing alenated them by its continued abuse
of Democrats and its demands for Demo-
cratic disruption. The Democracy en-
dorsed Mr.. Greeley as a party, and Mr.
Greeley gratefully accepted the endorse
ment as that of the Democratic party.
The Commercial, not content with Mr..
Greeley's election By Democratic votes, has
been throughout the canvass abusing
Democrats as such, just like the Nashville
Banner, and preaching disintegration.
Open war against ones allies, is not good
principle, Dor good policy. The Demo
cratic supporters of Mr. Greeley have meek
" endured many kicks and cuffs during the
canvass from professed friends, and none
have been SO savage as the Commercial.
Now, it is anxious for these Democrats
whom it has so roundly abused, to C me up
and help out its Presidential nominee. We
earnestly hope that they will do SO, in spite
Of all the Commercials rebufis, acting to
the last Gin the folsbearing and fOregiving
spirit that prompted Mr. Greeley's nomina-
ton at Baltimore.

VYRFTHER pRIFFENGe

Opposed to the Democratic ticket for the
Legislature in this county, is ticket half
Radical and half johnson. Democrats
need surer evidence Of the tendency OF
this disorganizing move?
The Banner of yesterday says:
We know Of numbers Of Republicans
who viii not vote for Maynard, and who
acH vote for Mr. johnson.
The Banner talks tenderly of its new
allies, and calls them Republicans" Plain
spoken Tennessseans are in the habit Of
calling them Radicals"
A correspondent of the Banner writing
from Carthage, says:
If YOU will send me few specimen cop
les of the Weekly, think can send you
a nice little club from this office, also from
New Middleton, Gerdonsville, Chestnut
Mound and Rome, all Of whom will be
Republicans.
"Republicans" again, mind you, not
Radicals"
The Radicals are playing sly game with
our "Third Partyites," and viii leave them
in the lurch. The Radical party is as
thoroughly organized in Tennessee as in
Pennsylvania, and will poll its full strength
for the Narragannsett. Maynard is the
man we have to beat, as the election re-
turns will show.

a GENTLEMAN just from New Orlear

a GENTLEMAN just from New Orleans,
who takes no part in politics, but devotes
himself to business, informs the Cincinnati
Commercial that the scene during the ses-
sion Of the Republican Convention in that
city, last week, would astonish the natives
ofthe North had they been witnesses Of it.
Votes were bought and sold openly, and
men went about hawking their delegations,
and forcing candidates to bid for them.
One delegation of colored men, headed by
white man, who acted as huckster, sold
for 81, 500, which was parceled out pro rata.
The political debauchery and corruption
here is indescribable, and would not be
credited were it told. The Custom
house clique, with Casey, coarse-grained,
ignorant fellew, with nothing torecommend
him but bis relation to the President, is
held accountable for this fearful state of
things. Such an outrageous state OF affairs
was unknown in this country before the
election of Grant es President.

It has been but g short time since John
Baxter of Knoxville, A. S. Colyar of this
city, the Republican Bonner and others
were actively engaged in an effort to get
out candidate for Governor against Gov.
Brown. The sFowed purpose of this effort
was to disrupt the Democratic party. Every
one Of the persons engaged in this move
ment, SO far as we are informed, are to-day
active supporters Of ex-President johnson
in his canvass for Congress. Many of them
have been since 1869 the most bitter, vim
dictive, abusive opponents of Mr.. JOHNSON.
Why do they SO suddenly and heartily rush
to his support? Is it because they
expect thereby to help build up the DEM
ocratie party? Or is it because they hope
thereby TO break it down? Mr.. johnson is
certainly found in very bad company for a
Democrat. We know of but one prominent
Democrat in the State who supports him
in his present canvass.

THE independent canvass Of Mr.. john
son has given the "third party-ites" fresh
hopes Of accomplishing their long cherish
ed, darling scheme. Here is the way the
Banner talks, in It's most "independent"
fashion:
~ doubt not there are numbers Of this
class Union and Conservative all over the
State, who have not voted since the war,
who loI vote for Johnson this year, as be-
tween Maynard and Cheatham-not that
they dislike either personally, or that they
love JOhDson-but that he (Johnson) rep
resenls the true idea of nationality and
union, between extremes, ii this extrsor-
binary canvass.
There we have that same "thid party
again, pretty well defined in embryo, and
Travelling for deHverance. Unless better
nidwives are called in, than the Banner,
Colyar and Co., We fear it will prove to be
only another abortion.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-10-31

The interest Of Tennesseeans in the
Federal contest is linked with the fortunes
Of Ar. Greeley. he advocates local self
government for the South by wiping out all
prescription against that large portion OF
the ability and activity of the South which
was implicated in "the lost cause" This
idea of home rule for every section, is the
central principle of the Liberal movement.
Mr.. Greeley invites every Southern brother
to take his old place around the common
family table. BE invites all ''to forget that
we have been enemies in the happy con-
sciousness that we are and must forever re-
main friends.n
Our State interests coincide with the no.
bic policy set forth by Mr.. Greeley. As he
said in his Calf House speech, "every com
munity has right to the services Of its best
citizens,' whether they were Rebels or not,
twelve years ago. The attempt of fac
ton in Tennessee to prescribe all our ante
bellum leaders as s'secessionists" and "pre-
cipitators," is utterly opposed to the spirit
of Mr.. Greeley's noble utterances.
1t is the interest of Tennesseeans to pre-
serve that autonomy and control of their
own affairs, which they wrested from the
Brownlowites few years ago. The pro-
motion of one man, here or there, high or
low, sinks into insignifcance compared
with the interests of the whole
people. To pivot all our elections on one
man, representing no party or principle,
is to abandon republican government and
adopt the C@ssrism of personal rule. The
only organization we have, opposed to the
Radicals from whose grasp the State was
wTung few years since, is the Democratic
party. The only class that pretends any
longer to fight Radicals in this contest, are
Democrats. The only organization that
has the power and the will to preserve our
people from return of Brownlowism, is
the Democracy. 1t is eur interest to pre-
serve this organization against our willy and
expectant foes. Any thing and every thing
that tends to divide and disintegrate our
people, affords opportunity for Radical sue
cesses and urges them to their most siren
uous efforts.
We are fighting Radicalism both in the
Federal field and in the State. Others are
wasting their ammunition on friends, and
giving material aid and comfort to the
enemy, by fighting the Democracy. We
seek TO concentrate our whole fire on the
common enemy. Let US all stand united
on our regular candidates for Congress and
for the Legislature, and there viii be little
danger Of Radical triumphs.
