a TRICK ExrREmELr THIN.

Andrew johnson IS an historical char
acter, and in view Of the position he now
occupies does not really want the in
dOrsemeRt Of this convention, since his
suggests an element of discOrd. Let Us
consult harmony, and not recommend
any candidate to the National Con-
ventiOn.
The above is taken from the Nash
vile Banners report of the proceedings
OF the Democratic Convention Of May,
1868. That paper, with its usual disre-
gard Of fair play and its willingness to
prostitute the high position Of a journal
list to the exigencies Of the hour, now,
with its files before it and with q full
knowledge Of the true quotation, pub
fishes as a quotation from General
Quarles's speech on that occasion the
following: ANDREW johnson is an
historical character, and in view
of the position he now oeeu-
pies does not really want the in
dorsement of this convention" when
in the very next sentence General Quar-
els expressly says, advises, as he does
now, LET US consult harmony, " and, in
order to do so, leave the disorganizer to
the historical position he occupied. A
position OF the pages Of history may be
honorable, or it may not; and General
Quarles expressly pretermits any views
he may have had as to the nature Of
that position. To any fair-minded man,
his action on this point is expressively
suggestive-of anything than q COM
mandatory or approving view of that
historical position
