We will not believe until they, them
selves, proclaim it, that Tenncsseans,
outside of the African and Yam
kce elements, will vote for the South s
worst enemy, in the past and the
present hater of its peoplc-Andy
johnson. When they have so far for
ieitcd the claim to the future conf
dcnco of the people as thus to betray
into the hands of willy and unscru-
pulous enemy, we shall cease to be
surprised at anything they may do, un-
less it be something patriotic. We
impeach not the individual honesty of
the Conservative supporters of An
drew johnson, but deeply deplore the
contracted view of the future and the
ready confidence in a knave, legiti-
matcly to be inferred from such sup
port. Their plea Of the odaptcdness
Of his abilities to the present cmer-
Eency can have no weight with them
solves, or others who remember with
whatacalond vindictive energy his abil-
. itywas brought to bear against Tonnes
see in the hour of its greatest need,
Ability, without honor, or honesty, is
dangerous weapon in the hands of
one who has once been traitor, and
whose after course is marked by no
higher motive than inordinatc ambi-
ton, and an impudcnt attempt at self
vindicOtion by casting the burden OF
his impurities upon the shoulders of
his infatuated followers.

TUE news on Wednesday, of the
Radical success in the State elections
in Pennsylvania and Ohio was discour-
aging to the Democratic party but the
news from Indiana, Thursday morn
ing, rcnews our hope, and anninat ties
the friends Of Greeley and Brown, the
Liberal Democratic candidates. With
that State, We feel confident we can
beat the radicals and consign Grant to
the tomb of forgetfullness with all his
impcrfcctions on his head. The great
cause of Republican freedom through
out the Union demands of us our most
strenuous efforts to defeat the corrupt
combinations that Grant and HIS rings
are making against the success OF
Greeley and Brown.
Let Tennessee stand to her guns, il
she stands alone, in this great battle
which the true friends of genuine free
dom are waging against the tyrants
who would Cypress us and the corrup-
tionists who would despoil us of our
rights and our heritage Of freedom.

WE regret that our limited space
prccludes a detailed report Of the
mass meeting, on Monday last. The
object Of said meeting was to secure
harmony in the election of Reprcsen-
tatives Of the County and Senatorial
and Pictorial Districts, and the indi-
cations Of success are as fiattering as
we had anticipated. Interesting
speeches were made, by several parties
in the interest Of peace and unity, and
though the nominations and ballots
indicated considerable differences OF
opinions, as to the man, II. L. Fcrgu-
ron, Esq. was made the unanimous
nominee for county Representative
DIR. Steger was endorsed for Floater and
Col. Brandon, for Senator. Nor did
the meeting fail to re-endorse Gen.
Chcatham for Congressman at large
the resolution to this effect was offered
by Col. Bailey and supported by an
eloquent and effective speech, and was
further supported by Mai. Thos. +
Henry in very able and altogether
appropriate appeal to the justice, pa
triotism and judgment of the people,
The feature Of the occasion however,
was the eloquent and characteristic
speech of Maj. G.. A. Henry declining
to accept nomination if rendered to
him. DIR. Steger made short address
and a favorable impression upon the
crowd. Mr.. Ferguson, being unwell
attempted no address beyond an cx-
preston Of thanks and promise to
do his duty if elected.
This is very brief synopsis Of the
doings of the day, and the meeting ad-
journcd with an apparent unanimity Of
purpose to stand by the nominees, to
stand by their State and their whole
country, May the returns prove this
purpose to have been sincere.

culatipg these reports, will meet me at

in private. If not | shall feel OF lib
erty to denounce them in the spirit
which the nature of the charges de-
mands. All want is fair play. This
1 demand in the name of the party
who have given me their confidence.
The people of Montgomery county
in convention assembled, unanimously
ratified the action of Stewart county,
and | am the standard bearer of the
Democratic ard Conservative party in
this District for Floater. / am for its
nominees from Greeley and Brown to
the lowest candidates in the field. /
believe their election will restore a
constitutional form of government and
give peace and harmony to the country.
AS our enemies are united, hope
the friends of law and order will rally
to the support of the old Democratic
party, and give us a glorious victory
in November.
Respectfully,
j. G. w. STEGER.

DOES any one believe Johnson would
have been anti-convention had he been
its nominee2 Does any one believe
he is anxious to preserve those funda-
mental doctrines which convict him Of
treason to party, of usurpation OF
power and wanton tyranny over the
citizen? These "reminiscences goad
even his conscience and to spare him
self the pain, he would willingly see
Democracy forever crushed unless he
can control its creed and its acts.

THE Radical hatred of Greeley is
intensely bitter, and it is because that
party lives by plumber, and it knows
that Greeley will put a stop to steal
ing. Tcnnesseans ought to consider
we'll, the responsibility they assume
when they permit Cheatham, the hon
est representative of an honest party,
to be beaten by Maynard, the repre-
sentative of party of public plumber.

NOTWITHSTANDING the efforts of
Andy and his fuglcmen, seemingly reli.
able parties report the rapidly grow
ing strength of Gen. Cheatham. This is
indeed, cheering news and is due main
ly, no doubt. to the fact that Andy
too hasty friends have discovered that,
practically, they are supporting May
nard, who is Johnson's alternate
They see that the issue is-not Andy,
or Cheatham, but Cheathman, or May
nard. This phase of the political
complication, they did not anticipate
and are not we'll pleased to find them
selves working in Radical harness.
Such however, is the fact, and if they
follow Andy, will find themselves in
the Radical camp.
