ONLYFOUR YEARS AGO.

Under this heading the Banner of yes
terday publishes the resolution passed by
the Democratic Convention of 1868, COM
plimentary to President johnson, for the
manner in which he. had discharged 0his
great functions as President of the United
States, at period of trying and unpre-
cedented embarrassment" The Banner
precedes the resolution with the following
editorial remarks:
SAT the first Democratic State Conven-
ton which assembled in this State after the
war, we find in looking over the reports of
that meeting that the following prominent
Democrats of the old school were present
and were active participants: Judge Guild,
Gen. w. A. Quarles, Col. NJ. Z. Galloway,
Gen n. B. Forrest, Col. John G. Burch,
and Gen. W. B. Bate. 1t was the re-organi-
cation of post beli1ua Democracy, and this
was the inaugural Convention of the spar
tyr so to speak. Al of the above named
distinguished Democrats were present on
| the Interesting occasion, and here is what,
in solemn Convention, This great Demo-
cratic party of "per-inciple" said about
''the murderer of Mrs. Surratt,n the chilli
tary Governor of Nashville" the "Ter-
raitor to the Constitution and TO the Demo
crscy, "-the Murst, the Danton, the Robe
sphere, the Machiayelli, the Nero, the Cali
| gula, the-the-the deserter OF the Bonnie
Blue Flag that bears single star"
The BCmner has on several occasions,
published the whole, or a portion Of the
resolutions Of the Democratic Convention
of 1865, above referred to, to which we
certainly have no objections. Our Opposi-
ton to Mr.. johnson is based upon his con-
duct since Aug. 81, 1872. The course
which he has pursued has, in our opin' on,
been one which must tend inevitably to the
DISCRIMINATION and disruption of the Demo
cratic party of Tennessee, aud also if sue
cessfal to the eternal disgrace and infamy
Of the ablest and best of our Southern
statesmen, if not to the whole Southern
people.
. But bow stands the Banner on this same
resolution, which it now delights to quote,
and which it too helped to pass. When
Mr.. johnson was last a candidate for the
United States Senate, the Banner alone
hesped far more continually, abuse, denun-
citation, and VtHperstion,, on him than has
been done in this canvass, by all of his op'
ponents together. During that Senatorial
contest, in explanation of its deflunciations
Of Mr. Johnson, after it had favored the
passage of the complimentary resolution Of
| 1868 the Banner, referring to its action at
the time of that convention, said:
"The wisdom of the course taken at tina
time. was universally endorsed in Tennes
see, among all practical opponents to the
| oppressive policy Of The then dominant
party in the State. 1t was not the mar
Johnson that we admired, but supposed
Executive strength we needed, with its re
cognized power of patronage and apparent
advantages in the prospective Presidential
campaign, which at best promised to prove
/ but forlorn hope. ..-..-s

gratitude in Texas. His integrity is

people of the State, without regard
to party.
