the United States Government, betrayed the

of his 'loyal" sentiments expressed in
reference to the event off possible war be-

OUR PROSPECTS IN TENNESSEE.

We are not of those who believe the
cause of the Republican party in Tennes-
see hopeless. On the contrary, we regard
success as certain. 1t must come sooner or
later. Right will prevail. The principles
Of the Republican party must triumph
where reason prevails. The people of Ten
nessee will, at no distant day, see for them
selves, that the professions of Democracy
are hypocritical. Promises made but to
be broken may deceive for time, but their
true import will be discovered. When the
honest voters of our State once fully I'M
derstand the incompetence and corruption
of Democratic leaders, they will no longer
trust them. This they will certainly learn
before many months. The spell which
now binds them to the Democratic party
will be broken, and they will he free to
think for themselves. When men think,
they generally act reasonably.
From these considerations we are led
to hope that the days of Democratic
supremacy will come to an end. Nothing
but superstition, ignorance corruption and
love for office has kept the Organization up
thus far. Yves signs now of a dissolu-
ton. The old party leaders are loosing

their supremacy. The party lash is not
feared as it has been. Influential journals
are speaking out plainly to the effect that
they no longer regard the party as indis-
pensable to the salvation of the country.
AS Republicans, we have only to per-
severe. We have only to divest ourselves
of dead weights if we are burdened with
them. We have only to pursue course
marked out by reason and common sense.
We must cultivate harmony among our
selves and pursue a judicious, prudent pol
icy, and hundreds of good solid men who
have acted with the Democrats will be
with us.
While we pursue q prudent course
towards those who differ with us,
we must demand that Republican voters
Ill every part of the State shall be
protected in the exercise of their privileges
as citizens. If we can secure this, it is not
at all impossible that we shall carry the
State in November. If we do not carry
the State we will make such an impression
on the ranks of Democracy as will insure
victory in the next contest.

OUR REASONS.

The Nashville Banner takes Us to task
i'll a very kindly way for speaking of the
Greeley Convention at Cincinnati as a
"disgracefuI pow-wOw" and wants to
know what there was about it that was dis
graceful. We shall attempt ananswer in
the same spirit. We thought the spectacle
presented of member of the Federal Su-
preme Bench openly contending through
his friends for the nomination, was dis
graceful to himself at least, if not to the
high position he occupies. If reports be
6tG hE fs4RJ T969Ft66d to ApRGjanceS .t Tor
disgraced candidate for the office of con-
stable-such as furnishing free railroad
tickets, filling delegates with mean
whisky, &c. The convention as a body
was not responsible for this, but a large
minority Of those composing the Conven-
ton, engaged in it, Long John Went
worth" a prominent man in the Conven-
ton could probably throw some light on
this subject. We also consider the bargain
between Gratz Brown, Frank Blair
and Reuben +. Fenton, under the terms
of which the nominations were made,
by which large number of the delegates
to the convention were deliberately sold, as
being disgrace to all concerned. Judge
Hoadley stated that he and Judge Stanley
Matthews had left the convention "in dis
gust Col. Parrot, of Montgomery coun-
ty, Ohio, speaking of the nomination, said
there was never a more shameless trade.u
Mr.. Fry, of the same State, who was also a
delegate, said bargain and sale were evil
dent" Judge Hoadley said 'Tammany
had triumphed.
Adams was certainly the choice of ma
jority of the convention, or at least of
those who sympathized with its objects,
but he was defeated bytrickery. a 'yell-
ing programme" was the nlodlS Operandj
of Greeley's nomination, and by this trick
Adams was defeated. All these things
have been charged and never seriously
Questioned. For this reason we have been
led to suppose the convention was wanting
in dignity.
The Philadelphia Convention was or
derby throughout-the only proceeding
savoring of lack of dignity, being the
frequent and spontaneous outbursts of
enthusiasm which greeted the candidates,
the speakers and the platform. To this
no one objects. A popular assemblage like
that is not expected to be as quiet and dig
nified as a meeting of United States Sena-
tors in the Senate Chamber.

ALABAMA POLITICS.

H. V. r., of the Cincinnati Commercial,
writes letter from Montgomery on Ala
bama Politics, from which we take the
following:
The negroes of Alabama present a solid line
for Grant. Greeley will not get three per cent;
of the colored vote in the entire State, and
what few he does receive will be in the northern
interior counties, where the Republicans have
no organization. Here, through the cotton
bet,' he will not get to exceed one per cent In
this city he will not get that. Montgomery
contains very many more negroes than whites,
but in all the city Horace Greeley will not re-
ueive five colored votes.
