what the People say.

Under this caption that sterling
democratic paper, the Bolivar BuI-
Letin, thus speaks its sentiments
and those of nine tenths of the peo-
pie who read it. The same feeling
seems to be pretty prevalent else
where, besides in old democratic
Hardeman:
, Most of the readers of this Jour
nal are aware of the fact that we
have ever made it point to reflect,
with truth and honesty, the Democ-
racy of HardemAn county. In other
words, our paper has been looked
on as the mouth piece of the Dem
ocracy of the banner county of Ten
nessee, never having to retract a
published statement or 'rise to ex-
plain" And now, after a careful
survey and vast amount of 'finter-
viewing" we unhesitatingly assert
that the Democracy of this county,
strengthened by Conservatives, will
vote for the Cincinnati nominees al
most to man, no matter whether
the Baltimore convention dominates
straight out ticket or not. We
have heard many of the staUnchest
and most influential Democrats in
the county assert positively that
they would not for one moment en-
terrain the idea of supporting, I'M
der the circumstances which at pres
en- surround US, any other than the
Liberal Republican ticket. Their
reasons for doing so are well found
ed, have been carefully considered,
and no extreme measures can drive
them from their set purpose. If
there are any who are foolish enough
to suppose that the well defined in
tentiOns of the People of this coun-
ty can be shaken by a sudden clap
of political thunder or anything
else, they are very much mistaken.

Means What He Saw,

Though confirmation strong as proofs Of
Holy WRIT and as numerous as the sands
on the sea shore, were produced TO prove
that DR.. Pierce, the proprietor Of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, is in earnest and means
what he says, when he offers 500 reward
for any case of Catarrh which he cannot
cure, vet there would be some skeptics who
would continue to shout "HuR6ugl7
ssHUMBUGM7 1T cannot be, because DR..
Homespun says Catarrh cannot be cured.'
Now this DIR. Homespun is the identical,
good-natured old fellow who honestly be-
Iieves and persists in declaring that this
earth is not round or spherical, but fiat as
4 "slap-jack,r and does not turn over, 9TH
erwise ths water woHld all be spilled out
OF Deacon BascOm's mill-pOud. But astro-
nomical science has positively demonstrated
and proven that DR.. Homespun is wrong in
supposing this earth to be fiat and station
AIRY, and medical science is daily proving
the fact that ne is no less mistaken and be-
hind the times in regard TO the durability
OF Catarrh. In short, it has been positively
proven that this world moUes, and that
medical science is prOgTesSiUe-the opinion
Of DIR. Homespun to the contrary notNith-
standing. That DIR Sage's Catarrh Remedy
viii cure Catarrh, thousands who have used
il attest.
Then buy it snd Use it, in doubt do not
stand,
You VIII md it in drug stores ali over the
land.

Virginia Nearly Unanimously for
Greeley and Brown.

If the resident members of this
committee are touching elbows with
the people of Virginia-to use a mil
itary phrase-they will see before
the committee meets on Saturday
next-nay, they can see to-day
how definitely shaped is the opin-
ion of Virginia.
The State intends to be represent
ed at Baltimore; it intends to ex-
press its viii in the Convention
there; it knows already what that
will is, viz: to name no other candi-
date but Greeley and GratS Brown.

We Hardly Think anybody Does.

The Trenton Gazette emphatical-
ly dissents from the resolution re-
Gently adopted by the State Conven-
ton in Nashville, which expresses
the unbounded confidence in the
"honesty, patriotism and prudence
of the National democratic conVen-
ton, when it shall assemble" The
editor declares that he has not full
faith and confidence-nor indeed
any faith and confidence-in "the
honesty, patriotism and prudence of
the National democratic conVen-
tion," nor in belmont, the head of
the convention" and says the peo-
pie of Tennessee share in this feel
ing generally. The Gazette is right
in its position, and the whole peo-
pie of the State will sustain it. The
time for nero politicians to bind the
people, hand and foot, and carry
them about whithersoever they will,
has past, and we trust never to re-
turn.
The people of Tennessee do not
want any democratic National Con-
vention, and we have mistaken the
temper of the times if they submit
to the leading strings of politicians,
when it is SO easy matter to ego it
Alone" and defeat their ambitious
views.

This gallant and earnest friend Of
the South, in his paper, the South
ern Home, published at Charlotte,
n. c., is for Greeley. lie says:
,"We give to-day the letter of ac-
ceptance of Hon. Horace Greeley.
There arc some expressions, which
we would like to see struck out.
But on the whole, it is liberal, cath
ole, frank, generous and manly.
We think the Baltimore Convention
can safely accept him with this let
ter, and the platform upon which he
stands. He has come more than half
tOay with extended hands to meet
the estranged and oppressed South,
and we can consistently, with our
ideas OF honor and chivalry, step
forward to welcome him."

NASHVILLE.

Last speech Very Generally Con-
demned by Democrats.


NASHVILLE, May 16.-The Ger
mans OF Nashville held q meeting
last night, e. C.. Giers presiding, p.
X. Albert and August Nickel, secre-
taries. Speeches were made in IA
vor of Greeley and Brown and the
Liberal Republican movement, by
J. B. Jeup, editor of the EmigrdHt,
General TraHernicht, A. Hitzfeid, of
Memphis, and others.
Resolutions were adopted re-
nOuHcing all former party allegiance
and assuming position of neutrali-
ty until new party may be formed
based upon honest principles and
true Republicanism; indOrsing the
platform OF the Cincinnati ConYen-
ton, and pledging their votes TO
Greeley and Brown; congratulating
the country upon the passage of q
general amnesty law as one Of the
good effects of the Cincinnati Con-
VentioR; thanking Mr.. Greeley for
his course during the Franco-Ger-
man war; declaring that they will
hereafter support no man for Office,
of any kind, merely because he is q
party candidate, but will vote for
the best and most honest, and in
conclusion, demand for the Ger
mans proportionate share of the
Republics offices. The meeting
was large and enthusiastic.
Voorhees, Terre-Haute speech,
published this morning, is univer-
sally condemned by all Democrats
and other supporters of Greeley. 1t
pleases only Grants friends. The
Union and american Democratic
organ) regards it asEcOntaining all
that can be said against Greeley,
and says that his friends must rec
ognize that influences are at work
against the adoption of him at Balti-
more. To meet these influences and
secure the desired consummation,
all true friends of the Cincinnati
nominations, it says, should close
ranks, ignore petty quibbling and
put their shoulders together to do
the work before them.

Just what the People want.

Horace Greeley, in his letter of &C
ceptance, has this noble, manly and
sensible sentiment. "IfI am elect
ed shall be President, not of a par
ty, but of the whole people,"
GThat is just what the people want.
A man who cannot rise to the dig
nifty of the occasion, and assert his
independence of party" is unfit to

sensible Talk.

The GAINESVILLE (Tenn.) ChToRi-
Gle says: cit seems that Hendricks,
of Indiana, and Pendleton, of Ohio,
repUdiate Greeley. If the military
oppression to which Southern Dem
ocrats have so long been subjected;
if the political vampires that have
so long been sucking the blood of
Southern prosperity; if Radical de-
termination to destroy the last YES
tage of popular government create
no sympathy, arouse no patriotic
ardor in the breasts of such north
ern Democrats, it is abroad hint to
their /. brethren of the South to
form other alliances that promise an
amelioration of their condition and
to repudiate Democracy so purely
sectional and partisan as to be une-
quail to the duties of the hour and
the pressing demands for that broad
patriotic wisdom so indispensable
to the preservation of free institu-
tiOns. We do not expect any true
Democrat to eulogize Greeley, be-
cause his antecedents forbid it, but
if he is honest enough to enforce
the doctrines put forth by the Gin
cinnati Convention, he is too far in
advance of Grant to be lightly dis
carded for the very remote possibili-
ty of doing better, with every pro-
liability of doing infinitely worse.

There are few men in our coun-
try, and we are happy to say only a
few who are opposed to Greeley and
Brown, and declare that they will
vote for U. S. Grant, rather than for
the nominees of the Cincinnati Con-
vention-yet when asked their rea-
sons they have none to give. They
agree with us when we tell them
that Greeley is honest, and that he
is great man, profound thinker,
and fully capable of wisely manag-
ing the most important affairs of our
Government. They acknowledge
that Grant is incapable and corrupt;
still they say they will vote for
Gr2nt,-yet these men call them
selves Democrats. The better name
for them would be Radicals, too
proud to own allegiance 10 their
disgraced party.-Huns6Oldt Jour
