The Mobile Register says: The
negro voters of Alabama may pom
der this fact with much profit: Vir-
GINA, under Democratic rule, has
established over seven hundred
schools for the colored man, while
South Carolina, under Radical rule,
has not only done nothing for them
but the Radical State government
has stolen all the school money and
broken down the negro schools that
were already established.
The Radical State government of
Tennessee took the school fund re-
turned after the war, and squan-
dered every dollar of it. The DEM
ocratic State government restored
the school system and in the larger
cities and towns of the State, every
one, white or black, can send their

schools abound in most Of the eoun-

appeal, upon the local candidates
for Office, that paper pays the fol-
lowing eloquent and truthful tri-
butte to that great and good man Gen.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CHEAFHAAf.
This popular favorite is the de-
scendant of long line of heroes,
whose robust virtues, whose daunt-
less courage, and whose wisdom in
council assisted in laying the foun-
datiOns of this mighty State. Ut
terly unconscious of his own worth,
General Cheatham is modest in his
pretensions, simple in his manners,
plain in his dress, and wholly disin-
terested in all his public service.
He lays no claim to oratory. He
has no trick of speech. lie uses
none of the arts or the deceits of the
demagsgue. He carries no forked
tongue. His yea Is yea, and his nay
is nay. He is more a man of action
than of words. He has a clear
head, and remarkable administra-
tive capacity. His knowledge of
man is intuitive; his judgment is I'M
erring. His fidelity TO all trusts is
spotless. His love of his native
Tennessee is unbounded. The hum
blest soldier in his ranks knew that
in him he had friend and protec-
tor, and the highest chieftian in the
army felt doubly assured, when, in
the council of war, his opinion had
the support of Cheatham. A hun
bred battle-felds attest his intre-
pidity, and ten thousand acts of
kindness to his soldiers prove the
oroufIanauu Df nafnra IA
rough a soldier carry within his
strong-ribbed breast, so tender a
heart. Many thousand ardent friends
have waited patiently and long for
his day to come. They knew that |
Tennessee would some day call him !
TO the front. 1t was fitting, that |
upon her banner, it should be not |
for district, but for the whole |
State. When he led his brave SOL |
diers in Mexico, he fought not for a /
section, but for the nation. When /
he toiled and suffered and bled in
the four years civil war, it was for
all of Tennessee, and not for a part /
only. With the truly brave, ali an
imosity ends when the war is over;
and thus II was that in his speech |
accepting the nomination, this hero
ic soldier truly said: az am for
peace, peace, peace"
Under this heaven-inspired watch
word, with his name upon our ban
ner, we viii keep step with the
host who in all the land
have determined that the war be-
tween the section shall end, now
and forever.
For the first time within twelve
years the people of Tennessee have
had fair showing at the ballot
box in Presidential election. They
ire contending now for the very ex-
stence of representative govern
nent, for the principles Magma
ChartG and for the writ of ha6eds

people against their oppressors; of

tuners; of civil law against the bay

Gsnsral Frank oheathaIn.

We nail to our mast head to-day
the name of Gen. Cheatham as the
choice of the Democracy of Tennes-
see for Congressman from the State
at large. For thirty years his name
has been identified with the history
of Tennessee, and with the honor
and renown her sons have won on
every battlefield, from Monterey
to the city of Mexico, and from Bel
mont to the closing of our dreadful
civil war. Foremost in war, by rea-
son of the high courage, wisdom
and sagacity which form the militia
ny leader, the same courage, wisdom
and sagacity, and patriotic self-de-
Votion, point him out as eminently
qualified to be eur standard-bearer
in the civil strife now waging for
the restoration of the rights and lib
critics, peace and prosperity of our
country. A democrat of the demo-
Gratis, brought up at the feet of Jack
son, and an original secessionist, he
yet appreciates the changes wrought
by our civil war. He would bury
out of sight the dead issues Of the
past, with all the aniInosities engen-
dered by them and mite with all
the honest, patriotic, and unselnkh
of every name and section, to root
out the evils of the times, and res
tore again the fair fabric of national
and constitutional liberty. With
him, democracy is a principle of
devotion to the best
and highest interests of his country,
and not TO the petty purposes of any
party. Frank Cheatham is a name |
which in itself forms q magic. Vol |
umes of patriotism and public Vir- |
tue is implied in il. Long years |
which faithful service have render
ed firm and mistaken, sdoFns his |
character and holds out bright ex- |
emplar to future generations. He
nearer to the Jaekso-
Man standard of craftsmanship than |
almost any man in Tennessee
without disparagement /

sons, without pluckinga laurel from
the brow of any, we are for Frank

The name of General Cheathaln APP
peared at the masthead of the APP
peal yesterday morning, just forty
eight hours after his nomination;
and this paper will most cordially
aid the people of Tennessee in elect
ing him 10 the Congress of the
United States. General Cheatham
is one of the most popular men in
Tennessee; has served the people
faithfully, and to defeat him would
be disgrace to the State. His ca
reer as q soldier and citizen deserves
the sympathy of all who honor cour-
age in action, dictated by mobility
of soul. In war he is as courageous
as lion, and in peace as tender as
a woman. His life illustrates the
truth of that philosophy which
teaches that the brave are the low
ing, the tender are the daring. The
noble responses made to the nomi-
nation of General Chatham ferete-
kens his triumph in November next,
and the signal overthrow of the in
dependents, who in politics, are re-
garded with as much contempt as
guerrillas in time of war. The
news from all parts of the State in
dicates q popular uprising of the
people to defeat the conspiracies of
the Radicals and the Independents.
But all who are struggling to defeat
Grant, and to elect the ticket which
appears at the head OF this column,
must get to work. It is but little
over two months to the election, and
there is much to be done in that
brief period of time. The result in
North Carolina should warn us
against being lured into a false Sc
curity. We think we are safe in
Tennessee, and probably we are;
but we must make assurance sure.
The Radicals are concocting all sorts
of schemes and combinations. They
are hunting for independents 10 be
used by them in the approaching
election. They will move heaven
and earth to carry the State. They
have an active and Woodworking
committee, which is Just now flood
ing the State with campaign docu-
ments, well calculated to produce a
reaction in the popular feeling when
insidiously introduced into every
family, and left to work their effect
without contradiction or explana-
ton. We have before us now a
number of these documents which a
half dozen clerks in the pay of the
Radical committee are hnsily en-
ployed in ranking to all the conser-
vative people of the State. The
franks of the Radical Congressman
are freely and shsmelessly used for
this political purpose. They have
funds in abundance, also provided,
we suppose, from the same source
that furnished the means to corrupt
North Corolina. All the machinery
of the government is at their dispos-
al to circulate these documents. In
view of this activity on their part,
it is time we organized to take the
field and open the campaign in ear
nest. We must not lose the flood of
the tide by our supineness, or rely
too much on our fancied security.
Tennessee can be colonized as Wen
as North Carolina. Perfect organi-
cation is the only safeguard. 1t
viii not do merely to say the State
of Tennessee is safe; we must make
it SO beyond the peradventure of
any unforeseen emergency. This
can only be done by voting for the
regular nominees of the party.-AP-
peal.

Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Convention began
with loud talk about reform, nom.
mating a statesman for President,
purifying and Identifying politics,
Sc. &c, and ended with the broad
burlesque Of nominating Horace
Greeley for President, and Gratz
Brown for Vice President. Mr.. Gree.
ley is great man IN his place, but
bengprcsident isn't his forte. His
craftsmanship is ABOUT on par with
his farming, and the United States
cannot afford to to foot the bills OF
four years experimenting on the in
practicable theories OF lis wise, fool.
lsb, sound. hair Drained. steadfast,
cratic. honest, old fraud who
has done more, p erhaps. than any
one man to build up the Republican
party. and has also used his best
efforts 20 destroy it.
ThereSult of this nomination. which
was engineered through by trickery,
bargaining and selling, will, we
think, be to unite the masses of the
Republican party, upon the nominee
&c the Philadelphia convention,
while the attempt OF the Democrats
to divide the Republican party is
likely to react upon themselves for
strange as 1t may seem, many Ot'the
"old Bourbons' in the West and
South heartily indorse the nomina.
ton of their old antagonist, and
advise that the Democratic party in.
