THENORTH AND SOUTH UNITING.

The shouts of the South for Greeley
have been echoed back from the bleak
hills Of Massachusetts. We see from
the New York papers that the Democrats
of the Tenth Congressional District in
Massachusetts held ameeting at Chester,
on the twenty-fourth instant, and de-
clared emphatically for Greeley and
Brown. They appointed delegates to
Baltimore thus instructed. This was the
first gathering of the kind in Massachu-
sets since the Cincinnati nominations
were made, and was looked forward to
with much interest as giving the key
note Of the campaign, so far as the De-
mOcraey were concerned. The eonven-
ton was composed Of the leading
Democrats from both Hampden and
Berkshire counties, and there can be
no doubt that it represented correctly
the sentiments of the party in this dis
trict. On coming together, the MEM
bers found, instead of dissentient views,
as some had anticipated, a cordial una

tions were presented and adopted
with great enthusiasm and unanimity:

Republic, proud of u cOuntry's past,
and anxious for its future welfare, we re-
allie that there are higher duties than
zeal for party or strife for partisan vie

ResOiUed, That il is our present belief
that these ends can best be accomplished
by ratifying the nominations and plat
form Of Cincinnati, and that we desire
our delegates at Baltimore to give eX-
preston TO these our solemn convic-
tons.
These are the sentiments Of the South,
and thus have the North and South
"clasped hands across the bloody chasm
which has too long divided them, for
getting that they have been enemies in
the joyful consciousness that they are,
and must hencefOrth remain, brethren"
The political horizon is bright with fa-
vorable omens. The Cincinnati ticket
Is gradually gaining strength, and the
Baltimore Convention will give it anew
and irresistible impetus. Push on the
column.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
THrRsptY MORNING, MAY 8O. IS7s
rns cINcrNSArI PLATFORM.

Democrats who cling to the time-hon-
ored motto of "Principles, not men,"
will have no difficulty in supporting
Horace Greeley. The question is not
what he has been, said or done; but
what is be now-what is he saying or
doing2 Those who support Greeley are
MOI responsible for his former moral,
social or political vagaries. But theyare
responsible for his present posi-
ton. Judged by these, no Demo-
cnat can find fault with Mr.. Gree
Ley. He plants himself on the Cincin-
matt platform, and, if we understand
that document, it is for universal
amnesty, for local self-government or
State rights, leaving the people Of the
several States to regulate and control
their own affairs; for the civil authority
as supreme over the military; for up
holding the great writ of hd6edS corpus
and trial by jury; for reform in the civil
service in the Republic; for the question
of revenue on tariff to be decided by the
PEOPLE through their representatives in
Congress-uninfiuenced by the Execu-
tive, but their action to be Endorsed by
him; for the reservation of the public
lands Tor actual settlers and occupants,
and not ~recklessly ~squandered on rail-
road companies; the controlling senti-
ment in all being to restore peace and
Fraternity to our whole people, that they
may al alike enjoy the benefits, privi-
leges and blessings of Our matchless
constitutional government. Had the
Democratic party been requested TO
make a platform for themselves, they
could not have constructed it materially
different 1t meets almost every requi-
sition we could ask. The sentiments
~enunciated by the Cincinnati COnven-
ton have been the burden Of Demo-
cratic papers and speakers, in and out
Congress, for years past. If men be
nothing and principles everything, we
should care nothing for Greeley only 50
far as he is the representative Of the
principles which are vital to the peace,
prosperity and happiness Of the country.
We have everything to gain and Doth-
ing to loose by supporting Greeley. His
defeat will make things no worse, while
his election will make them vastly bet
ter. We cannot elect a Democrat. The
probability of electing Greeley 10 san
man, familiar with public sentiment,
questions. Shall we nominate a Demo-
crat, and thereby incuranOther fatal and
last defeat, and insure the election of
Grant, or shall we accept the tender
made us Shy electing Greeley? Tennessee
has already solved the problem, without
difficulty, and the people are every
where arriving at correct conclusions.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Pistol and Shotgun Practice at Taylor:
Depot, Mississippi.

From the Oxford F~aleon.l
A difficulty occurred at TaylOr's De-
pot, in this county, a few days since, be-
tween Thomas Huntly and Benz. Lyles,
on the n side, and T. A. Nicholas,
c. n. Nicholas and A. p. Nicholas on
the other, in which pistols and shotguns
wereC reely used. Huntly received a
pistol and shotgun wound, but will likely
recover. Mr.. A. 2. Nicholas was Sc
verely beaten with a gun, but not dan
gerOusly injured. We are not informed
as to the cause of this unfortunate diff
Guilty. The matter has been investiga-
ted before the Magistrate of that beat,
but we have not learned the result.
Since writing the above we learn that
Benjamin Lyles, charged with an assault
with intent to kill A. p. Nicholas and
others, and was said to have been i'm
plicated in the bloody affray at Taylor's
depot, last week, was heard before a
committing court, at the above place on
Wednesday last. We understand that
Mr.-Lyles was discharged and his innO-
cence completely established before the
court. Messrs. Sullivan and Williams
conducted the case ON the part of the
prosecution, while Mr.. Lyles was de-
Tended by Charles B. HowTy.

No rInE FoR FORMALITIEs.

A ceremOniOus observer Of fashionable
etiquette was once precipitated into
drowning water. A rough, hOmy-hand-
ed country pumpkin rushed to the res
cue; but the fastidiOus slave Of cOnven-
tional decorum waved him of, and
exclaimed in gurgling accents, &" I have
never been introduced to you, and can
not accept your offer Of aid" The Dem
ocrats who refuse to support Horace
Greeley are actuated by the same sort
of stupid regard for nice points, They
admit that a Democrat can not be elect
ed; they concede that the Cincinnati
platform is unobjectiOnable. Horace
Greeley proposes to make himself a
life-bOat that will convey them to a
haven Of safety. But these punctil-
iOus Democrats refuse to accept his aid
because he has not been introduced to
them, formally, by a Democratic
convention. When a mans house is on
fire, he does not wait for al introduce
ton to the stranger who would save it
and his wife and children from the
flames. The liberties of the people are
in danger. The fires of fanaticism are
consuming all that patriots hold most
dear. To eXtinguish the flame we
would accept as a medium the
devil himself. The South has
suffered enough. We have suf-
fered for six years, and are still suffer-
ing from hate, anarchy, oppression, des-
potism, robbery and wrong. We pro-
pose, in this Presidential contest, to deal
with facts, rather than abstract theories
ofgovernment What We need and should
strive to obtain by the best means offer
ed us, is speedy relief from present and
intolerable oppression. We must be re-
Iieveds and that speedily, or We perish.
If the Democrats can relieve US, well. If
they cannot, we must look to those who
are able, and profess TO be willing to re-
Iieye US. They may be well assured
that we are in no condition or temper to
be bartered of by Tammany Hall poll
ticians or Wall street bankers. Now,
the question is simply this: If 1t be
demonstrated that a regularly nomina-
ted Democratic candidate for the
Presidency iBsures the election Of
Grant, thus perpetuatingindefnitely the
luminous rule which is now insidiously

EAST TENNESSEE.
The Andrew johnson Scandal-Card
from H. H. ~IngersOll.
!. ehnENvILLs. -. May 2. 81

0 GREENyILLE, Tenn May p, 1872.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Through the kindness of a former cit
izen of this place, now residing in Indi-
ana, I have seen the item in your issue
of the eighteenth, and the special from
Brooklyn. published on the twentieth
instant, in relation to the JOhnsOn-Har-
old scandal. The item is substantially
true. Mrs. Harold, a pure, y%irtuous
Christian lady, about fifty-two years OF
age, a lifelong neighbor and intimate
friend of Mrs. johnson, driven to mad
ness by a cruel, infamous SANDER, con-
Meeting her criminalty with the EXPIRES
ident, committed suicide on the seventh
instant.
But why the Islander should be first
published in the Journal, thus Teviving
and sending far away from home a
seandalous falsehood which had nearly
died at home without publication, is a
question / am at a loss to answer. Why
blacken the memory Of sainted wife and
mother?
The special is full of untruths:
l. No resident Of Greenville is now
in Brooklyn attending the Methodist
General Conference"
2. Mrs. H. was not ''seduced by eX-
President Johnson"
8. Discovery and exposure" did not
lead her to 'the commission Of the rash
act.'
4. Great indignation is not expressed
among rhe citizens of Greenville against
the ex-President," but is against the
author and publisher of the scandal, and
he has fled.
5. No one of "the best citizens refuses
to speak to him on the street" On the
contrary, the deepest sympathy is felt
and expressed for him on account of the
vile Islander, which cost his invalid wife
her kindest friend and dearest lady COM
panion.
For the sake of the dead as well as the
living, I trust you will give the Islander
as prominent a Tefutation as practicable.

PROGRAMME.
A Good Suggestion from One Of the
Wheel-HOrses Of Democracy.

EDITORS APPEAL-For the purpose OF
facilitating the dispatch of business, and
to avoid, as much as possible, the bar
gain and intrigue which generally dis
graces the action of nominating con-
ventions, I suggest to the Executive
Committee, and the convention which
meets on the twentieth Of June, to
nominate candidates for county officers,
that the delegates vote by general ballot
as they do on election day-that is, each
delegate write on his ticket his choice
for Sheriff, Tax-C~ollector Trustee, and
for all other offices at the same time.
Thus candidates would be nominated
upon their own merits, without regard to
the defeat or success of other candidates
to a great extent; and in this manner
the work of the convention can be ac-
complished in much less time than the
old way. Let it be so ordered that after
the third ballot the lowest for each office
be dropped until the twO-third vote can
be obtained, and continue the ballOting
until a candidate for each Office receives
the necessary vote. 1t will be seen at a
glance that it will greatly economist
time and labor and I think viii give
greater satisfaction.
Let this programme be adopted. The
convention is composed of first-class cit
liens and no honest man can complain.
Let each delegate before proceeding to
nominate bind himself by a res
olution adopted on a call of
the ayes and nays to not only
abide the nominations but to vote for
and support the nominees, and let each
candidate subscribe to an obligation
binding himself in like name Do
this gentlemen, and we will never again
see that disgusting spectacle Of a dele
gate d%enouncing the candidate of his
convention. And it will keep out Of
the convention those d-isorganiZers who
being Radical at heart are %cOntriving to
get into the convention tOplay the game
Of twO years ago.
These suggestions l throw out for the
benefit Of those who study the best in
terests of the party, trusting they will
give them the consideration to which |
think they are entitled.

and most certainly destroying the liber-
ties of the people, and at the same time
strangling and crushing out every YES
tige of constitutional Democracy; is it
not the sincere and bounden duty of
every earnest and disinterested Demo-
crat who is neither a trickster nor a
mere schemer for personal preferment,
to advocate the means that is most
likely TO drive from power the corrupt
horde which now controls the govern
ment, and thus pave the way for the re-
storatiOn Of constitutional liberty and
the ultimate return of the Democracy to
the power that was lost by the unfortun-
ate dissensions which rent it asunder in
1860? A crisis has certainly arrived in
the political affairs of this nation, when,
to overthrow the corrupt administra-
ton, all the elements Of opposition
should unite in a common effort.

In view of the Siberian survey lately

the probability that this terra iacoonttd

teeming population, the position Of the
Siberian extles is much talked of in
Russia just now. The total number OF
these persons, many of whom have been
banished by administrative decree with
out a trial, amounts to three hundred
and fifty thousand. Manyof these ban
