NIB. JOHNSON ON ORGANIZATION.
at the Democratic State Convention in
1855, which renominated Gov. johnson as
The Gubernatorial candidate of the Demo
cracy Of Tennessee, after the passage of
strong resolutions against Know Nothing
ism, the following proceedings were had:g
.ot'R. w. McGavock, Esq, of Davidson,
offered the following resolution, which was
adopted: ssA98
sResolred, that it is all important for the
Democratic, parry of Tennessee to make a
more thorough Organization, and in view of
this end we earnestly recommend each
county to bring out the best men of the
party as candidates for seats in the General
Assembly, and we further recommend Dis
btrict Conventions to nominate candidates
TO represent us ID the Congress Of the
| United States when necessary.
Mr.. Eastman introduced the following
resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That the President of this
Convention appoint q State Central Com
mittee of five persons, residents Of Davidson
| county, to perform such duties relating to
the ORGANIZATION of The party as have here
tofore been performed by similar commit
tees. and such further duties as may be ap-
propriate to the position and necessary to
! the organization Of the party, 49,
b MIR. Huntington, of Maury, offered the
following resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That the State Central Com
mittee, to be appointed by the Chairman Of
this Convention, be instructed to appoint
| County Committees in each county of the
State, and that said County Committees
be requested TO appoint subcommittee in
each civil district in their counties and re-
port the same to the said State Central
| Committee"
Here is organization to the backbone,
''thorough organization"
Here we have recommended District
Conventions to nominate candidates for
Congress. Here we have State Central
COMMITTEES unders resolution introduced
by Mr.. Eastman, who knew more Of the
necessity of organization in achieving vic
tory than any Democrat that ever lived in
Tennessee. Here we have, under resolu-
ton of Mr.. Huntington, County Commit
tees appointed by the Central COMMITTEES
and each requested to appoint sub-commit-
| tees in each civil district. What was the
result of this organization, this thorough
organization, this system of conventions
and committees and subcommittee? The
] result was the election OF
Mr.. johnson by the small
msjority of twenty-one hundred votes in
the State, and the defeat Of Know Nothing
ism. Without such organization Mr.. John.
son would have been defeated and Know
Nothingism would have triumphed. Ther
Mr. Johnson was backed by the organised
Democracyof Tennessee including Col. r
". NcGavock and Col. John &. Howard
both 'precepitators" who we're killed in The
/ Confederate cause, and by Mr.. Dunning
ton, Gen. Cheatham, Gen. S. K. Anderson
and long list Of others who oppose him il
this canvass. Mr. johnson owes his cleo
ton then TO organization, The defeat o
Know Noshingism in that canvass is due t.
organization.

81 MADE no war or the defenceless; never
disturbed their peace, nor wasted their property;
no citizen can raise his hand and say ever
sought to Cypress him. When, borne down by
overwhelming numbers, we were forced to sur
render, and the war was ended,-I accepted the
situation upon the honor of soldier, and re-
turned to the pursuits OF peace. In my humble
way, have labored earnestly, from that day to
this for peace and reconciliation. The great
body of Confederate soldiers, who shared with
me the dangers and hardships Of that war, have
done likewise. We feel that we have not dis
honored our mother State and that she will not
dishonor Us for having discharged patriots
duty."-B. T. CHEATHAM.

MEANWHILE there may be those discon-
tended disorgauizers who still say that the
Interpretation of the result in Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Ohio is no more nor less than
that inevitable Democratic label.-NGSlt-
UilIe Banner. 80
Compare with this the explanation Of
the New York Tribune, which says blunt
ly, ave have been cheated" or that of
the Cincinnati Commercial, which is GER
tsinly as Liberal as cur city contemporary,
and las no more love for the Democracy.
The Commercial completely overlooks that
bugbear '1abel,' and says:
There is good reason to believe that the
decisive vote of Philadelphia was procured
BY the use ofimmense Sums Of moneys and
fraudulent voting and counting. 1t is
stated, no doubt correctly, that many Of the
Democratic judges and clerks of The cleo
ton in Philadelphia were bought, and that
Cameron Il Co. were. enabled TO tx
their majority in that city according to Their
pleasure. They certainly made it large
enough to remove all doubts as TO the State,
which is claimed for Hartranft by from
twenty to thirty thousand majority,
We suppose those miserable hucksters
who sold out for messof pottage are far
samples Of the Banners Democrats with
the 'slabel" torn of.

As to the feeling of the real people of the

original Union man of Georgia, hssit0 say.
He was asked: "When you say that they

asters, is not that equivalent to saying th.it
i they see now no hope of succsss?" ."No,''

that. - Our people did not know
what revolution meant. You see we had
never been engaged in a war; and with
many men it was supposed to be a sort Of

what it means; and / tell you it would take
powerful moving causes to get up another
revolution down there-a good deal more
than to get up one in the North. As GER
tain as You are born they would not listen

NEE imperial fegtiyities at Berlin art

THE imperial festivities at Berlin are
scarcely over and the world assured that
Europe has now entered upon san era of
peace" the like Of which has never before
been experienced, when news comes
through the London Times that Russia has
expressed her dissatisfaction at the ag-
gressiVe attitude OF the radical party Of
France" and has at the same time suubbei
M. Theirs, by withdrawing her note of COZ
grs;ulation 10 that gentleman on his confr-
nation IL his Office, The statement is ex-
plicit and appears in a Trustworthy journal,
1t seems hardly possible, however, that
such note, which is almost nex5 to a dec
laration of war, could have been sent. The
Gar Of Russia has never forgotten the part
played by the French nation in The CriInea,
but it is difficult TO believe thai Il is his in
tention to pick quarrel for the purpose OF
revenge az this lac day with ais old antag-
onist, especially when it is well known that
strife and conquest have littla or no allur-
ments for the latter in its present compar-
tivey helpless condition.

THE Banner, IN view Of the late un-
toward elections, has learned The secret of
beating majority with minority. Like
all great discoveries, it turns cut to be ex-
ceedingly simple. Just scratch off the
"lsbel," and your minority will beat the
majority every time. Five dollars reward
for case where it fails.

THEY have singular way Of making
figures lie at the Treasury Department in
Washington. Secretary Boutwell's Octo-
Der report states that the "debs, less cash
in Treasury" at s., 6G,994,677, and "cash
in Treasury at S1O2,546,4l4. The total
debt must then, be the sum of these
amounts, or s2,269, 541,O9f. But, 10 and
behold! in the same report the total debt is
given at but 81, 296,31O,19O. Is there any
explanation Of this glsriag discrepancy OF
over S33. O00. 900?

The Banner does not think that original
secessionists and ex-secassionists ara site
fttest types of Liberalism and Re-nationali-
cation of this seetion'' Yet the initial
point of Liberalism was its protest against
the prevailing Radical ostracism Of this
particular class. This protest, on behalf of
this very class, was the one continuous sub
jet of Mr. Greeley's western speeches.
And the speeches of B. Gratz Brown,
throughout the campaign, axe burdened
withthe same plea for the political rehablii:
tation of ex-Rebels. Suppose the Banner
takes a turn a. correcting the heresies (?)
of its Presidential candidates. We but
follow in their footsteps.

FnR JOaNsON's CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT.

RIGHT
A correspondent of the Banner writing
from McMinnville, asserts that ex-Presi-
dent johnson in being candidate for Con-
gress is " only exercising constitutional
right. That Mr.. johnson has "cOnsti-
tutional right" to run for Office is a
fact too well established for any man in
Tennessee to deny, but that the people
have the constitutional right" to vote
against him is equally true; and that dele
gates from large proportion Of the State
have the constitutional right" to nomi-
nate candidate for the same position to
which Mr.. johnson aspires is also true.
Such nomination the friends Of MIR. John
son cannot possibly claim as violation of
his constitutional right" to run for office.

THE Cincinnati Commercial in its re-
view of the late elections, complains of the
want of compactness in "the Liberal and
Democratic organization" 1t differs some
what with the Nashville Banner and Mr..
johnson concerning the advantages and
desirability of organization.

If tie Baltimore National Democratic
Convention bad never assembled the result
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana might
have been very different. Why should the
Radicals abuse the Baltimore Convention
-BdnRer.
Such seems to be the il-liberal view OF
diminutive Nashville caucus, bent on
the rule or ruin of Tennessee. But those
representative Liberal Republicans Horace
Greeley and Charles Sumner speak of the
Baltimore Convention as giving the strong
est guarantee possible for equal rights and
the perpetuity of the Union. Perhaps the
Bonner understands the temper of the
North better than Mr.. Greeley or Mr..
Sumner. Leasswise, it seems to claim as
much.
