PREJUDICE

No matter what may be our preju-
dices in regard to Greeley, the po-
litcal die is cast, and there is no
movement that can be made that will
absolutely counterfeit the support
of the Democratic party Of Greeley.
1t is a movement Of the people TO
restore the Constitution to its origin
al purity. Greeley is a representa-
tive man and has turned against
the party with whom he has acted
with for years, and demands the
Liberation of the South from carpet
bag government and radical misrule.
"a man who would stop to quarrel
with Greeley's past record at such a
time as this, and under such circum-
stances, would stop to quarrel with
the particular construction Of the
fire engines brought for his rescue,
while his house was burning down.

THE CAMP AIGN.

IF disposed to do justice to Gen
eral Grants mental capacity, we
might readily admit that he knows
how to plan campaign--it not to
organize q victory. At least, with a
will "a purpose, and capacity for
planning, not TO be despised, aided
by a strong party-dispensing a
vast patronage the Civil, Military
and Naval service at his command
with unusual facilities FOR manipu-
lating the ballot--we can have very
little assurance that in contest
alone with Greeley, Grant will not
be proclaimed the victor. He will
certainly be reelected if the demo
cratic refusal to support Greeley ag-
gregates any considerable number of
votes. so that the whole question re-
solves itselfinto e choice, pure and
simple, of Grant or Greeley.
IF the South has, for the time,
torsaken principle, 70 profit by poll
cy, it will be doubly unfortunate if
detection in her own limits involves
the defect of her chosen allies. Bet
ter have taken no part in the strug- |
gle, and remained silent with her
"dead issues than from policy,
merely, to have waged hostilitieS
against successful tyranny, There
is but one hope for Greeley the
full democratic vote If il is best
TO have him President: If the South
has something better to expect from
him than from Grant, then. as we
value our greatest interests, let us
move with one purpose to his sup
port.
Above all, LET us not be NOV
ed in this crisis of our fate by mere
prejudice or by any feeling or iudg-
ment short of the greatest good of the
South. Let us aim at THAT with all
the wisdom-all the discretion we
can command.

The st. Louis Dispatch says a
gentleman OF that city recently sent
word to Dan Voorhees, thet "all his
old friends were getting into the
Greeley boat; that he vas too good
fellow to leave behind, and he had
better come along too, before they
showed off. Voorhees, received the
message and sent this back; He
said he was pretty much in the con

ANDY JOHNSON

KNOXVILLE, August ll.--Ex-
President johnson spoke by invita-
ton last evening to q good crowd for
two hours and quarter. He was
introduced by Judge I. A, r. Mel
son, as the peoples man--plain An
dy Johnson.
Mr. johnson said he was no cam
didate for any office. He said it was
well in times of popular upheaval to
take our bearings and see whittier we
are drifting. Recurring to first prin
ciples, he showed at length how the
Government had been drifting from
constitutional moorings and had be-
come the plaything of an irresponsi-
BILE Congress at the dictation of a
usurping Executive. He reviewed
Grants administration with severity,
but calmly discussed official gift
taking as bribery, citing the case of
Sir John Trenor, in England. He
favored one term, and the election
of President by direct vote of the
people. The reelection of Grant
would be great national disaster.
He accepted Greeley on the princi-
pie of universal pressure. Circum-
stances beyond human control have
limited the choice to two men--pa-
triots cannot hesitate in the choice of
Greeley. 1t is no time to say this
or that is or is not my party, but let |
us all unite in saying this is my coun-
Try. The country must have recon>
restoration of civil rights
o all citizens; confidence between
sections, and reform ofthe service.

HOW BEECHER READS THE rs
SUES.

Inthe. last number Of his paper MIR.
] Beecber undertakes 70 define The
s.real issues Of the present contest
of parties. He says;
"First then, in order TO establish
harmony between the Southern
whites and the negroes We have open
to us two opposite and inconsistent
courses of action. We may refuse
altogether to interfere for the protec-
tion of the negroes. The South de-
sires that there shall be well-defin.
ed position of inferiority for the ne
gro. That is what is meant by free
ING the white man." 1t is thought
by some that such a position of things
will help to make peace between the
two races.
son the other hand, it is open to
us to leave the negro on an equality
with the white, and to refuse to sur
render our power to protect him from
violence, should he need protection.
Here is the only important difference
in the politics announced by the two
parties. Amnesty is virtually Sc
cured already; the sole remaining
exception is the exclusion of few
hundred men from office, and this is
sure to be seen done away with.
The "carpet-bag government" who'll
ly beyond the reach Of the Federal
authority. The one Issue, we repeat
where there is direct opposition be-
tween the two parties in the field is
this Shall the national government
be pledged in no case to interfere for
the protection of the blacks 7 The
Grceley-Democratic party says,
Yes; the Republican party says,
No."

GREELEY ON HIS TRAVELS.

MANCHaTTER, n. H., August s.
Horace Greeley had fine reception
at his old home, with cannon and
band, procession and a speech
closing with happy allusiOn to the
mutual interests of cotton growers
and cotton spinners. An expression
OF trust that sectional misapprehen-
sions of hatred were yielding to
experience, provoked nine hearty
cheers. A joint delegation from
nine counties came to conduct Gree
ley to Concord to-day.
