GRANT AND GREELEY COMPARED.


1t had been sometimes said that this
nominee had given bail for Jefferson Davis
when he was in prison, but that was too
barrow a platform for any party to stand
Upon. Laughter 1t would be q most
dangerous thing to raise an issue as be-
ween the man who put Mr.. Davis in Jail
nd the man who bailed him out. 1t
'ould not be safe issue at the North, and
e implored his Southern friends not to
lake it. It might provoke q comparison
! 'hich would not be favorable to the nOmi-
Pc of the Cincinnati Convention. Mr..
avis had not been helpless. A hundred
nllions Of property at the South stood
lAdy to bail him, and it sometimes SEEM
e to him (Mr. Voorhees, that it was mere
| lya piece Of restless impertinence on the
| prt of the nominee of the Cincinnati Con-
| wilton to offer himself as bail for Mr.. Da-
vi When Andrew Johnson and Edwin
MStanton, Secretary Of War, desired and
| proposed las he knew to be the fact,) to ar
ret Robert E. Lee, Joseph E Johnson,
ali other prominent Confederate officers,
thre was but one man who could prevent
TIT thing being done, and thatwa the pres
en- incumbent of the Presidential office.
Geeral Grant had stepped forward and
toll them that these men had given him
ther parole as soldiers, and that that pa
roll should be respected. Applause from
theRepublican side of the House.
THE COMBAT DEEPENs.
Mr.. Roosevelt here charged that Mr.
VOGhees had recently been in consulta-
ton with President Grant at the White
HOHe.
NJ. Voorhees, said hehad not crossed the
threhold Of the White House for three
year.; and whoever made such a state
mem uttered a vile calumny.
The entire Republican side fOcked over
to tie Democratic side, and evinced the
deepest interest in every word that fell.
The galleries were equally interested.
SOmeof the Democratic members became
greatly excited over the speech, and sought,
by points of order and interjections, to end
it. Nj. Speer, of Pennsylvania, called Mr..
VOORHEES, attention to the fact that only
Republicans applauded him, but the latter
retorttd that Mr.. Speer had voted all last
week with the Republicans on the tariff.
When he concluded quite a number of
Democratic members congratulated him,
but the excitement over the hall was very
great and continued for some time. Moth
ing else was talked about. The speech was
made, it was said, to influence the South
in sending delegates to Baltimore. Mr..
VOORHEES,, in conversation subsequently,
said as long as certain Democrats were
working for Greeley, he had the right to
express his views against him. Several of
the Democratic members briefly took the
position of awaiting the action of and abid-
ing by the decision of the Baltimore Con-
venton. Some of the party leaders say
that the two thirds rusi0 enforoed by the
national Democratic Convention will de-
feat Mr.. Greeley. Messrs. Holman, Nj
black and Kerr, (Dem's.) of Indiana, all
denied being afraid to take sides, but said
they would abide by the Baltimre Conven-
ton.

experience shall induce generous forget
ting and healing of past divisions and ar
earnest and successful effort to restore lOya
political rule in Tennessee, it will not have
been in vain.
The Republicans of Tennessee, not les:
than those of their sister States. recognize
the administration Of President Grant as
having been one of the most succe sful il
the history of the country. The Ala
bama Treaty; the humane, peaceful
Indian policy which has been successfully
inaugurated; the economy introduced into
all branches of the public service, whereby
millions of d"llars of the peoples money
have been saved from waste; the reduction
of the public debt by hundred million
dollars a wear, and the diminished taxes
levied from the people; the enforcement
of the laws to the conviction and punish
ment of kukluX, cowardIy assassins and
murdereTs, who have made midnight
black with their hOrrid bloody deeds; all
these accomplished results during the last
three wears have made the United States
Government to be loved at home and re-
spected abroad. And in all these the
American people see the pledges of future
peace and thrift by continuing in office the
hOnored and distinguished citizen under
whose administration these results have
been achieved. The passive or 'possumn
policy of the Democratic party shows that
they have no hope by a square open ap-
peal to the masses of the American people
to defeat President Grant.
Their co cooperation with disappointed,
sore-headed, office-seeking Republicans, to
effect the defeat of President Grant by
means of the divisions of the Republican
party will be equally unsuccessful.
Tho DeOD1p have faith in President Grant
They demand his denomination with uch
emphasis that State after State has fallen
into line with entire unanimity. When
the voting is done from Maine to CalifOr-
MIA, and from North to South, the masses
will re-elect him by a majority so large
that none can doubt for moment its sig
niticance.
Hoping that your deliberations may be
guided by wisdom, and their results re-
dound to the best interests of our STATE and
country,
am, very respectfully,
Your Obedient servant,
WILLIAM @. BROWNLOW.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

We invite attention to our very full re-
port of the proceedings Of the State Con-
vension, held yesterday at Nashville.
We think that the Convention acted
wisely in refusing for the present to make
any nomination for Governor. The resO-
buttons cover the subjects now before the
public for consideration, and the instruc-
tons to the delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention are in ACCORD with the wishes
of nine-tenths of the Republicans Of the
State. We invite particular attention to
Senator Brownlow'S letter, as it will pay
careful reading.
The late hour at which this dispatch
reached us renders further comment i'm
practicable.
