As We had every reason to believe,
the Baltimore Convention nominated
Greeley and Brown on the first ballot.
The Bourbons in the Convention, were
in such a diminutive minority, that
we presume they will make no nomi-
nation-if they should, the feeble at
tempt will be no obstruction in the
way of the car of progress propelled
by popular sentiment too powerful
to be checked even, by their feeble
resistance. The people have dccrecd
the defeat of Grant and whilst the ac-
complishment of that object may not
meet the approval Of the captious few,
the multitude will push them aside for
the present, taking care to mark them
for future consideration and dispo-
sal Of their claims to public conf
dcncc.
And now that the last popularity au-
thorizcd tribunal has passed judgment
upon the question of the Presidential
candidacy, VIC hoist the names of
Greeley and Brown and bid them God
speed in the work of dcmoishing the
dirty fabric reared by the Radicals
and digni6cd with the name Of Gov
eminent, We refer to other portions
of our paper for some of the details
of the Conventions proceedings.

WHILST we appreciate the Leaf 5
solicitudc to strengthen our weakness
and correct our errors, much of the force
of its effort is lost through the want
of harmony between its prccept and
example. For instance: After admir-
ing his defense of conventionsand our
obligation to obey them, we glanced at
the head of its column and there read
Congress for State at large, General
Frank Chcatham, Internationally.
That means convention, or no convcn
ton, and is very consistent heading
for lecture upon our obligation to
respect the discisions of convention.

TnE very acme of treason to the
country is reached BY such men, as
Wise and Mosby, when they determine
to vote for Grant against Greeley. II
they can not consent to disgrace De
mocracy by voting for any one outside
of It's sacred pale, whore is the wisdom
Of diaGTacing themselves by voting for
a desertcr from their party who has
proven himself to be the determined
enemy of Constitutional liberty and
honest government? 4 diCni6cd in
action may be palliatcd, under the cir
cumstanccs, but upon advocacy of
Grant will conaiCn the advocate to un-
dying public contempt and win for
Democracy, a. thus illustrated, the
odium of all right minded men,
such may sacrifice them elves without
loss to the country, but not without
dlshonor to the party of which they
claim to he representatives Should
the Republic collapse under a second
administration of Grant, the finger Of
scorn will, hereafter, be pointed at all
Democrats who, protesting to love
liberty, are practically, the friends of
dCspollam.

ket for Tennessee products with the
exception of cotton. The use which
this locality has for the Princeton road
is to supply it with an abundance Of
cheap coal which will invite ihanufac
taring capital and skilled labor to this
point, and the tobacco raised between
the two points, to be sold ON this mar.
ket, and the surplus wheat for the city
mills. A short connection with st.
Louis would divide the trade in the
two last named articles, and, to that
extent, disappoint the expectations
founded upon the success Of the en-
terprisc.
A narrow gauge road to the coal
fields, is all that GAINESVILLE needs, in
that direction, and its extension to
Waynesboro' will be worth more to
us than an extension to the north pole,
and if its being a narrow gauge will
prevent northern connections beyond
the coal fields, so much the better for
us. Suppose Winslow's scheme, in
stead of being a rusc, had been carried
out, with Nashville at one end of the
line, and st. Louis at the other, what
material benefit would Clarksville
have derived from il? Let the Louis
vile and Memphis road answer the
question. But, with terminus at the
coal mines and, if possible, tcrmi-
nus at Waynesboro', GAINESVILLE may
reap a harvest of prosperity which
it does not dream of in its present
lcthargic slumbcr. This is the true
policy for us, that for Tennessee, is to
convert its iron into machinery and
nails, its cotton and wool into needed
fabrics and to send its surplus to sup
ply the deficiencies in the cotton States,
instead Of counting northern COMPETE
ton, by means of railroad facilities
and liberal patronage. Already do
our home dealers feel the influence of
Louisville as competitor for the
wheat and tobacco that ought to come
to this market-will it mend matters
TO make st. Louis a competitor for the
same products of the soil? IF not, let
us build narrow gauge to the coal
fields, on the real estate basis, If prac-
ticablc, and extend it to Waynesboro'
if possible, and whilst VIC cannot pre-
vent northern connections, if such be
desired, let III look TO our own local
interests and leave other sections to
take care of theirs, and if connections
in this particular direction, are forced
upon Us, let it not be at our cost. We
want all the wheat and tobacco we can
get and it il madness to seek connec-
tons that will build up the formidable
Of concentrated capital
The attraction of affinity which holds
good between particles of matter, GER
tainly holds good, a. between the great
er and the less accumulation of capital,
and without home enterprise to resist
it, the more we are circumscribcd from
the influence of such accommodations
of wealth, the better for Us. because
resistance, our smaller pile
will ultimately 60 to the larger.

WE publish to-day, the letter Of
Mr.. J. B. Killcbrew declining the call
made upon him to become a candidate
for Congress from the State at large.
The stand taken is sensible, and forti-
fed by a spirit of patriotism as rare
as it is admirable. Professional Office
seekers are prone to place themselves
little in advance of the people by
sclf-laudation, Mr.. Killebrew reverses
the order, and all his remarks are die
tated by due regard for the people,
without reference to self. He clearly
points out the leading qualifications
that should commend a candidate to
popular confidence, and believing that
he can do more for the people in his
present position than as a member of
Congress, wisely resolves to adhere to
that position. transformations merit is
sure of its reward at tho hands of a
discerning rublic.

and livid as scarcely to be recognized.
1t is gratifying to say, however, that he
is now much better, and that his mcdi-
cal advisers deem him altogether con

THE Leaf charges that the CuRoNI
Gle is undecided whether or not il
will support the nominees of tho
County Convention. There are some
men who, though they read, can no,
understand, and others who under.
stand all things, read, or not read
With neither class is reason of any
avail, but in standardization, we re.
print the following, from last week i
CHRONICLE:
In as much as the County Conven.
ton, was held on Tuesday, and dis
charged its functions, we perform our
part, by keeping before the people the
names of its nominees for the various
offices; but we have quite long list
of names of Candidates. that we know
not howto dispose Of. Being announ
ced until the day of election, we have
no right to drop the names until au-
thorized to do so. We publish the
list entire, this week, but shall, next
week, drop all save the names of the
Convention nominees, unless otherwise
instructed.
The most hayward ingenuity can
not torture this into anything bat a
plain declaration in favor of the nom
inecs of the Convcntion-without a
condition expressed, or implied; but
because we declined to throw out the
names of candidates who paid for their
announcements, as advertisements, up
to given date, our ncighbor, as We
infer, seized upon that fact and built
upon it the broad insinuation of weak
ness and indecision in dealing with
current events. Boldncss is well
enough when sustained by facts and
tempered with wisdom, but in the alb
sence of either, it degenerates into
mistaken independence, and an at
tempt to obtain character for firm
ness under false pretenccs.

GOVERNOR CURTIN.

The Returned Minister Seriously III In
Brooklyn-Hopes OF His Speedy and
Complete Recovery.
Governor Curtin arrived on Sunday last with his
family from Europe, ana went at once to
the residence of his daughters father-in-
law, Mr.. William II. Sage, a New York
lumber merchant, residing at st. Marks place,
near Brooklyn avenue, Brooklyn. The Governor
was exceedingly unwell all through the voyage
with an anection Of the stomach, amounting to a
serious case Of Inflammation OF that organ. Imme-
diately on his arrival he took to his bed and grew
rapidly worse. SO that on Wednesday his medical
attendants were forced to pronounce his case de-
cidedly dangerous. slight Improvement In his
condition was visible yesterday morning, but the
case was still considered so critical that his physi
clans forbade him to see or speak to any one but
his nurse. The Governors symptoms were more
hopeful still at eight O'Clock last evening" when the
HERALD reporter called to see him, SO that Mr.
Sage was able to express his belief that
the patient would be quite well again IN
few days. 1t is, OF course, impossible to
positively ascertain the Governors position pott-
cally, and all rumors OF that nature may be at
least regarded as premature. 1t Is known, how
ever that during the voyage hither from Liverpool
he spoke freely on the subject to some OF his Ameri
fellow passengers, declaring his decided prefer
ence for General Grant over any other candidate
and avOwing his intention to support the present
incumbent.
