malice and all uncharitableness. But at
this juncture of affairs, above all others,
when the era of peace, reconciliation and
Of good feeling seems 20 be approaching,
is it desirable that Tennessee should be
represented in Congress by M one
whose presence might create discord?
l think not. 1 do not believe, in
our present situation, that my State
and other Southern States can be
relieved or benefited ia-that
way. I believe that a manly
bat quiet policy is hest for US. II | am
elected 70 represent yOg, ] shall en-
deavor, by a manly but civil demeanOr,
to acquire such respect as win enableme
10 exert an influence in your behalf.
But II, in your judgment, the demands
OF the times require an agitator, / am
frank 10 say that / would not answer
your purpose. With regard to national
politics, 4 belong 20 the great brother
hood OF Conservative men throughout
the country who are combining TO elect
u reform candidate TO the Presidency in
the person Of Horace Greeley.
Laying aside party politics and parti-
lsaa passions and prsUdices, and re-
muiing him rs the representative can
didafe OF the great Ideas Of peace, har-
mony, reconciliation and a restoration
OF the Union and Constitution to the
hearts affections of the people every
where, 7 know Of no man, either North
or South, who could with more pEupri-
ETY. be pitched upon as such q repre-
sentative candidate than Horace Gree
ley. AS such I accept him cordially
and shall support him honestly, sin
cerefy and earnestly. He is honest, just
and patriotic. His honesty will be a
safeguard to your property; his justice
to your equality in the Union and before
the law; his patriotism to your honor,
welfare and independence as a nation,
and his philanthropy to the interests Of
humanity and civilization everywhere.
I regard the ensuing Presidential cleo
ton as one of vast importance, involv-
ing the welfare, prosperity and happi-
ness of the people for years to come.
l shall therefore urge those who
think with me to do everything
in their power, everywhere, to promote
-harmany and unity of action. Organize
and set-organiZe that you may act
with force and effect. UNITED we
stand, divided we fall" is an old saying
never truer than now, and q / hope
win ponder well before the day Of
election. Allow me 10 say in CONCLUSION
that l intend to meet you, my fellow
citizens, on all occasions between this
and the election, whenever l can do so.

two men interfeTes with The aspirations
of Johnson and COlyeT; ergo, we are
required-to repudiate the regular nomi-

GENERAL cHEArnAn's ADDREss


We publish in another column Cen
eral Cheatham's address to the people of
Tennessee. 1t is a calm, dignihed dOcu-
ment, and contrasts most favOrably with
the rant and mstian of Andrew john
sons Pedagogical appeals to the people.
We cannot believe that the State of
Tennessee will perpetrate the mon
strous outrage Of discarding General
Cheatham, who has faithfully served
the people. For twenty years the name
Of Frank Cheatham has been the syn
onym Of honesty, integrity and I'M
ffnching devotion to the requirements
of duty; and to defeat him now, in this
his first aspiration for Office Of any kind,
would be Tequiting his services with the
blacklist ingratitude. In social life,
General Cheatham has numerous admir-
ers, and his popular manners and ge-
NAL nature would soon attach to him
many friends in Congress, and thus en-
able him to be of more service to the
people than his opponent, whose I'M
popularity would bring defeat and death
TO every cause he favored. General
Cheatham has never labOred or fought
for plumber. His hands have no dishon-
orable stain upon them. When he
fights he grapples with armed men.
What ever faults be may have commit
ted, he has never been guilty of the
crime Of hanging an innocent oma
The address of General Chestham will
touch the popular heart of a just and
grateful people. He is unframed in de-
bate and the wiles Of the demagogue.
He is conscious Of the disadvantages a.
well as the strength and malignity Of
his INSCRIPTIONS adversary. But Gen
eral Cheatham is backed by that never
failing source Of Strengthens own con-
seriousness Of recIitude and honest
purpose. There is a just people at his
back, and they viii proclaim at the cleo
ton in November that the Offiee-holder
Of thirty-ive years cannot defeat a pa
triOtic citizen who has never failed to
respond to the call of his eOuntrymen.

We are gratifed at the bold stand
which the Union and American has
taken in favor of General B. f. Cheat
ham. The recent editorials In that paper
are like the blar Of the bugle sounding
the charge. If the people Of Tennessee
are not ingrates; if they are not traitors
to party organization, they will emulate
the example Of the Union and american,
and rally to the support Of General
Cheatham. His defeat restores Rad
icalism TO power in Tennessee,
by destroying our party organiza-
ton, without which no party can hope
to triumph. We would ask the people,
Is the Greeley party Of Tennessee worth
struggling for? If it is, let us stand by
its organization. Is it worth your re-
speet? Then uphold it IfyOu love it for
what it has shown itself capable of do
ing. then cling to it. COlyer, johnson,
KelIar. Foote, and the whole ring Of in
dependents, have entered into a con-
spiracy, and so they succeed in their
selfish schemes they care nothing for
Horace Greeley and the organization
which is struggling to give him the cleo
torsI vote Of Tennessee. There is no
objection to John C. Brown, our candi-
4ate for Governor; General Cheatham is
