The race for County Represents.
tive is between AKIN, the Demo.
cratic candidate, and ALBEIT GREEN
the colored Radical candidate. MI
HUGHES, the JOHNSON candidate
stands no chance of election, so long
as those two are in the field. They
represent the two great parties of the
country, Democratic and Radical.
while he, although n Democrat, rep
resents no party, and his candidacy
only makes the election of the Dem
eeratic nominee doubtful. IL you
are opposed to Radicalism, vote fol
the Democratic nominee.

WE again call attention to the inn
portance of having the right class Of
men in our next Legislature. The
Radicals hope, through our diasen-
sions, to elect a majority of the next
General Assembly, and throughtheir
own perfect organization may do 30.
Beside other important matters, I'M
der an act of Congress, the next Le-
gislature will be called upon to lay
off the State SO as to give it ten,
instead of nine congressional dis
tricts. If the Radicals can geta ms
jority, they can SO district the State
as to secure at least half of the rep
resentatives in Congress for the next
ten years. There is but oDe way to
avoid this evil, and that is for every
Democratic voter to no longer listen
to the discordant voice Of disorgani-
zers, but rally in solid squares to the
support of the nominees. Every
vote against them is a half vote for
a Radical. The Questi On now is not,
is the nomination the best that could
have been made? but, is the nomi'
nee better than his Radical opponent
Let the people think and act. .sds

THERE lie NO doubt that thousan

THERE is no doubt that thousands
of fraudulent votes were cast in the
late State election in Pennsylvania.
If a fair election had been held, the
Liberal candidate would have been
elected; and it is claimed that in
creased exertions ON the part of the
friends Of GREELEY to prevent. frauds
may secure the State for him. Let
no man swap a GREELEY vote for one
for JOHNSON or CHEATHAM. The
Democrats and liberals of Tennessee
are pledged to GREELEY, and no
member of the party can swap his
vote without dereliction of duty,
The election of Mr.. GREELEY may
possibly depend on the vote Of Ten
nessee, and if JOHNSON men and
CHEATHAM men swap their GREELEY
vote, even our large Democratic ma
jority may be overcome. Besides, il
is wrong to vote for GRANT under
any circumstances, except that o.
fir m conviction that his election will
be best for the country. Do no
swap your votes. --...

Two years ago, Hon. HORACE
MAYNARD, member of Congress from
the Knoxville district, used all of
his powerful influence to have Ten
nessee placed under military rule by
Congress. If he had succeeded, our
State would now be in the condition
in which South Carolina is in to-day
Mr.. MAYNARD now uses honied
words in addressing the people, but
the same enmity to them and their
welfare is still in his heart, and if he
is elected Congressman for the State
at Large, his unfriendliness to us
will continue to manifest itself, on
every possible occasion, when OPP
pressive laws are proposed. The on
ly sure way to beat Mr.. MAYNARD,
is to stand by the Democratic organ
ization, and vote for the nominee
of the party. Vote for CHEATHAM,
and make MAYNARD's election i'm
possible. -... 81 -

possible.

RECONCILIATION can only be secured
within the next four years, by the
election of HORACE GREELEY. Un.
til reconciliation is brought about,
no permanent peace and prosperity
can be assured to the people Of the
South. No Southern State can be
considered safe from the possibility
or probability of military rule and
the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus. No capital will flow into
our borders and build up the mate
rial interests Of our country. No
immigrants will come in great COM
panies and give us that wealth
which dense population alone can
furnish. Vote for HORACE GREELEY
and Reconciliation.

DEMOCRATS of Mauryi do you
want your great county represented
in the next Legislature by a negro
Radical? If not, your only chance
TO avoid such a catastrophe is to
vote for AKIN, the nominee of your
party. If you are determined 10
vote for ANDREW JOHNSON, do so,
but don't let your prejudice against
conventions allow you 10 vote for
every "independent' candidate, and
thereby be the means of electing
Radical Legislators.

Committee, in all address this week,
say about Mr.. MAYNARD:
"We further give it as our earnest
conviction that the support of these
independents" by respectable pro-
portion of the Democratic voters of the
State will ensure the election of from
three to five Radical members of Con-
gress-among them, that chief OF the
tribe, he who for seven years has been
the most bitter, the mott pFoscriptiye,
the most vindictive, the most unrelent-
ing enemy of a restoration to the South
ern States and Southern people of the
rights and privileges guaranteed to them
