f. From the Winchester Home Journal;l
We hoist the names this week
ofHon Jno. NJ. Bright and Gen.
B. f. Cheatham-the first for
Congressional representative
from this the 4th District: the
second dforrepresentative in Con-
gress from the State at large.
We are aware thatmany persons
prefer Andrew johnson to Gen.
/ Cheatham, but the latter was
nominated, and is a man who
will have powerful influence in
Congress, as he has always had
in private and military life. He
lis man of peace, and fully COM
fmitted to the greatireform move
ment headed by Greeley. We
hope he will have no disorganiz-
ing opposition. We strike a bal
iance-sheet in our support Of
Cheatham and our support of
Greeley. Both are representa-
tive men, and both harmonic
upon patriotic icimpplses-the one
from a Liberrl Republican and
the other from a Demo cratic
stand point. ~
IT.. From the Lawrence Journal.
Mr.. Johnson in entering the
field as an independent canidate
for Congress for the State at large,
virtually secures the; election of
the Radical nominee, whoever he
may be-. The Radical Convention
! assemblies at Nashville on the 4th
September, to'nominate candidates
for Governor and for Congress-
man for the State at large. These
nominees will get the united sup
port of tie Radical element, which
is to be feared, ,din view of the d.
vision in the liberal ranks.
If Mr.. johnson is the true DEM
ocrat that he processes himself to
be, he will not seek to destroy
the Eope OF thY liberals in SO i'm.
portant a contest as the one be-
fore them. He has had honors
enough. He,Bsrved the "d4ar
people as mitch as he ought, in
almost everypublc CAPACITY. He
should retire to his home in Green
vile, and live as an x.President
of a great nation should, and by
SO doing, be can still retain de-
gree Of respect from the people of
his State But if he persists in
remaining in the political field in
this canvass, to the great detri-
ment of his acknowledged party,
he may experience.tbe humiliation
of seeing one of his enemies eleva-
ted to the place to which he now
aspires, aud he will return at last
to his home followed by the NAL
edictions instead Of the blessings
of his "peopie,"
.,,4 ,''''l' From the Columbia Herald.
We believe large majority of
the people of Tennessee desired
the enominationof Andrew Johnson
for Congress for the State at large,
because of his great ability and
peculiar fitness for the position,
but we trust he will not run "a
gainst the nominee Of the conven-
ton. .Fhe opposition-to the ex-
President is but the memory of
prejudice, and did not extend
much beyond a few prominent per-
sons in every county. Notwith-
standing all this, our party is "a
bove our consideration for any
man, and we hope that Mr..
Johnson will not oppose the
nominee ys1 dis s-5
From the Pulaski Citizen.
The convention was not packed
for Gen. Cheatham, and the
charge is5bur a ,subterfuge, made
in the face Of the cwell-known fact
that there was ne Organization of
the Cheatham men up to the day
OF, the convention, and that the
Chairman of thefeSecutive CON-
mittee, who callsd=and engineered
the conventions. was himself
johnson man.
