CHEATHAM, JOHNSON AND
MAYNARD.
The Meeting at Joncsboro.

To the Editor of the Union and American.
JoNEsBoRo, Sept. %, 1ST2.-This has
been good day for the Conservative-De
mOcracy of Tennessee. The candidates
for Congress from the State at large met in
discussion here, and assure you that the
result Is highly satisfactory to those Of our
party who are In favor Of organization and
the overthrow of our political enemies.
Mr.. johnson opened the discussion in
speech of two hours, in which he "came
down" in vigorous style on the convention
which nominated Gen. Cheathan-called
it "pscked" affair, and said many hard
things about conventions, which had he
left them unsaid would have been better for
himself. He was very severe on Frank
Dunnington and others who oppose him.
He would not say here, to-day, as hereto
fore in his speech. that the contribution
levied on Rebels while military Governor
were for the support of Confederate sol
dier's wives and children" but claimed
that it was for the 'poor Of all classes"
He might have said that it was as much, or
more for the refugee negroes who fiocked
into Nashville as for any other purpose. He
plead for amnesty from the Rebels, but /
assure you that his present course cuts him
off from all hope of it in this section.
Mr.. Maynard followed Mr.. johnson and
defended Gen. Grants administration aid
the Congress of the United States In about
as good style as il could be done.
Gen. Cheatham closed in speech in
which he defended the convention Of Au-
gust last, and denied that 1t was ''paCked
affair."" as charged BY Mr.. Johnson. He
said that he was no orator, but had been a
lvOrkiag man all his life, and If the people
of Tennessee wanted ,rOrking member of
Congress that lie would, if elected, prove
to them such member. He declared for
the Presidential ticket of Greeley and
Brown, as the ticket Of peace and restora-
ton.
The speech of Gen. Cheatham was we'll
received and as he descended from the
stand round Of applause greeted the old
hero, and many Of bis old followers crowd
ed around him 10 shake hands with the
man who had shared their dangers and pri-
vations In the late war. The enthusiasm
among Gen. Cheatham's friends reached a
high point, and the General was kept for
nearly an hour in the court house, af.er
his speech, receiving the congratulations OF
his friends and warm supporters.
Johnson's abuse of rebels and his con-
tinued emphasis on the word ''traitor," lost
him votes here to-day. l am told by gen.
tlemen of undoubted reliability, who were
at Bristol on yesterday, that Mr.. johnson
drove hundreds of his supporters from him
by his denunciation of ''rebels.n "Whom
the Gods would destroy, they first make
mad" The ex-President appears to be in
an exceedingly bad humor, while on the
other hand, Gen. Cheatham's smiling face
at all times is evidence OF his satisfaction
with the situation in this section. East
Tennessee win do her duty on election day.

GEN. aUARLEs AT UNION CITY.


UNION CITY, Sept. 26, 1s72.-Yester-
day was good day for Democracy in
Obion. Gen. w. A. Qusries addressed a
large and attentive audience in the Court
house here, on the political ISSUES Of the
day.
His rapid but philosophic resume of the
blended parties of the country, united
against the threatened dangers of our COM
mon country, satisfied all present that
whatever had been their former status
in party, they were right now; such a
speech noe, when 80 many efforts are being
made to open old party feuds and ami
moslties, is pleasant contrast to the Inn
potent rawlings OF some who are calling
from the 'talms of oblivion" the rattling
bones of long buried hobbies, ghestly en-
tries In the political field.
The speech of this distinguished stand
ard-bearer of our cause was Of special value
at this particular time, as he is imbued TO
the fullest extent with rigid ideas of party
discipline. he knows, and endeayors 70
impress on the masses of the party, that
the only hope Of party success IS spirit Of
self-sacrifice, conflicting claims of candi-
dates for Office abiding the party action in
convention, and the party uniting under
the leaders so chosen. He Is emphatic IN
bis denunciation of all boilers.
Set Obion down her whole census return
for Greeley, Brown and Cheatham.

THE OLD WHITE COAT.

A correspondent of the New York C0n-
Stercial Advertiser writes that in 1858 he
made square bargain with Horace Gree
ley for his old white coat, which, for fair
consideration, the Philosopher agreed TO
send him. Greeley neglected to fulfill his
part Of the contract, and, after repeated
solicitations, sent the following reply:
'The simple and sole reason for my not
sending the old coat is this-my wife de-
clines to part with it, and as she knows
where it is, and do not, it would not be
easy for me to send it without her consent,
even if | were inclined to take it from her
against her wish, as [ should certainly re-
sret to do. / did not anticipate any oppo-
sition on her part at the time l saw you.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY"
