OLD SUMNER.

To the Editor of the Union and American
SUMNER COTNTY, Nov. There can
be seen on the streets of Gallatin, at all
hours and times Of the day, especially to-
day, two or three of the noisiest johnson
men in the State, with an arm FIJI of Ban
nerS, and another little document beaded
"Hsrd Up" contradicting the statement
made by the Democratic Executive Com
mittee, but no one ddddy'S it; all of these
wise and knowing ones take particular
pains not to put their names to it; the
truth is, they are ashamed of such thing
being circulated in an intelligent commu-
nifty with their names stuck to it. There
is a strong probability of there being
break in the johnson ranks in this coun-
ty, as two of our prominent and most in
fiuential citizens are both claiming the
honor Of nominating the Great CommOner.
One of them says he nominated him through
one OF the leading organs of the State, and
the other by writing him letter on the
2oth of July, 1872, asking him to become
the peoples candidate. If these two gen.
tlemen, who claim this honor, viii take the
stump and canvass the county in his be-
halt will bet ten to one there will not be
one hundred and fifty johnson Inenin the

WILSON COUNTY.
Organization Triumphant.

To the Editor of the Union and American.
LEBANON, Tenn, Oct. 31.-Our Grim.
inal Court .being in session here, this
week, We have had the pleasure of meeting
and "taIking politics" with many well IN
formed gentlemen from all parts of this
county, and we believe from them we have
received correct information as to what
the vote of old Wilson will be on next
Tuesday. From this information we say,
with confidence, that on that day a voice
will be heard from among the cedars of
this good old county which will give COM
fort TO the friends Of organization and De-
mocracy, and al who would save this State
and this Nation from Radical rule, and
which will 60 as a dreadful warning to all
boilers and disoTganizers who love office
better than party, principle or country.
On behalf of the party in this county we
thank you for the noble, manly and sue
cessful fight which you have made, through
the UNION AND AMERICAN, for right aud
principle, and send, through your noble pa
per, greeting to our faithful cO-wOrkers in
the good cause throughout the State. With
US the fight has been fierce and protracted,
and many whose support we had
a right to expect have not stood
by US, buI gone to the enemy.
Recent developments show most conclu-
sively that ueither johnson, Brien, nor
Hamilton can be elected, and that to vote
fcreither of them only increases the proba-
bilities Of the election of Radicals. This
none are so obtuse as not to see; for like
the soldiers warrant, at is Written in fair
characters and legi5le." Notwithstanding
the bitterness which has, indiscreetly, been
INDUCED in among Democrats, who have,
we hope, honestly differed in this canvass,
we are still all one and have common
cause, and thank God! we have enough pa
triotism to rise above all prejudice and per-
sonal preferences and go for the only men
who can save the country, The regular nom
inees.
Let ali Democrats lay aside all prejudice
and unite BOW, that we may rejoice Ia GER
tain victory; otherwise our unworthy dis
sensions may work our ruin. Which is
better, for all Conservative men TO unite
now, and by sacrifice of little prejudice
save the country aud rejoice in common
victory, or 10 continue our unnatural quar-
rel, which must end in common defeat and
bring US together in common sorrow and
shame when all is lost? Democrats and
Conservatives never divide.

THE VOTE.

The Banner says: The voting popula-
ton q The State, white and black, is 24S,-
i5S, and the Republican vote by the last
count was exactly 41,5G0-no more, no
less The Banner should have stated fur
Their that the Democratic vote by the last
cou was only 76,979-No MORE, NO LESS,
max. ng, according 70 that method OF count
ing, 10, 479 votes in the State. But every
CAc knows that there was q large fall.
NJ If il the total vote at the last
election, and that this was larger in the
I.-,acA than in the Democratic vote. The
ha.icais were disorganized; there was no
residential election hand. They knew
ina there was no hope of electing Wisener.
Now how very different! They are thor
oaghiy organized. They are active and
Hlgi-1t. Every Federal official in the State
is a. work. The Presidential election is on
hand, 5ir. Johnson has divided the De-
uocfacy and brought again into the field
the a.aJr5au:zers under the lead of John
Baxter, Colyar, the Nashville Banner and
the Memphis ACGlGnche. The Radicals
are c0ndden: that they will elect three and
perhaps six members Of Congress. We
may therefore expect q fun poll Of the Rad
icll vote. On the contrary, the disseusions
and distractions produced by Mr.. John
sons candidacy will doubtless keep some
Democrats from the polls. We hope not.
We hope every Democrat viii come to the
polls. Come ous and take position with "the
old guard" Don't fall into lihe with the

Danger to the Legislative Ticket.
To the Editor of the Union and American:
HUNTINGDON, Oct. 81, 1S72.-Messrs.
Brown and Freeman spoke to-day TO an at
tentive crowd, at Huntingdon and at night
at Mckenzie. Freeman appealed TO the
Radicals of Carroll county and Of the State
to poll their entire strength on next Tues
day. Referring to his observations through
out the several counties Of the State, he
told bis friends that the Radical party of
the Slate was under the most perfect con-
troll ard entirely harmonious, that from
Carter to Shelby the chiefs of the party aud
each of its members, night and day, with
unremitting z5al, ardor and confidence,
were working in the sincere belief ola full
and complete success on the day Of election.
Gov. Brown made most powerful and eff
fective argument, indicating completely
his own administration and the claims of
the Democratic party TO support.
He called the attention of the thoughtful
men of Carroll county to the thorough or
gan ization of the Radical party and their
extraordinary zeal in the present canvass.
He referred to the danger to the State of
Tennessee of dividing the strength of the
party among a multiplicity of candidates.
His speech to-day has had the effect to
arouse to action the good men of our coun-
ty TO the necessity of putting in the Legis-
lature good and true men from our county
and Senatorial district.
We are satisfied that the danger of a Re-
publican Legislature or one strongly tine
tured with Radicalism is not properly ap-
preciated nor urged upon the people OF
Tennessee. a Legislature of true men,
heartily in accord with such an Executive
as Gov. Brown, is of far more importance
to MS than the questions now so agita
ting the public mind. Tennessee cannot
afford to submit the important interests
now demanding the action of the State
Legislature 10 the Radicals. In the lam
guage Of Gov. Brown, the gallant stand
ard bearer of the Democracy, ,"In Gods
name, have we appreciated our freedom 50
little as to throw it away after only three
short years of peace? Do you wish to give
the State government again into the bands
of the Radicals? If you do not, then Or
game; lose sight Of the side issues forced
upon you to waste your strength and tri-
umph from your divisions, and go to work
like men--men who know the needs of tho
hour and the dangers which threaten; men
who are determined 10 save the S ate and
country from Radical rule"
Look out for a Democratic gain from old
Carroll and for true men in the General
Assembly, 5.

CHEATHAM COUNTY.
Judicial and Political

situations, located in your city-charge,
grand larceny, term of representation six
years: Peter Hunter (colored) on charge
OF petit larceny, plead guilty, and sentenced
TO one day in the county jail. While we
did not have much court we have had a
perfect deluge of candidates and public
speaking. In addition to the Dumberthat
held forth to the multltudes here on Mon
day, Col. GolladaY, candidate for Congress,
put in his appearance Tuesday and by
courtesy of Judge Rice, was allowed to &C.
cUpy the Courthouse for the purpose Of adj
blessing his fellow-citizens, which he did
in a well conceived and well delivered
speech of about one hour, in which ne COM
pletely indicated himself from the charges
made against himself, and from the manner
of the reception of the speech, judging from
the cheers that he received and the loud
huZzas for Golladay that ever and anon
went up from the crowd, we conclude that
he will receive a good, yea, very fstter-
ing vote in this county.
On Wednesday Mr.. Trotter, candidate
for Senator from the 10th district, came to
time, and the same courtesy being ex-
tended to him as was extended to the
other candidates, although laboring
under severe indispositioD, he made an ap-
propriate speech, interspersed with some
very amusing anecdotes that were We'll re-
ceived. Upon the whole, Tro,ter made a
very favorable impression; and now al the
candidates have entertained the people of
Cheatham with speech aud an exposition
of their views of State and national policy,
except Mr.. Moody, who is also candidate
for Senator from this district.
Our sheriff will start tomorrow to Nash
vile with our third representative in the
neutrality-suspicious. Harris after which
our Jail will again be empty, and ''Othello's
occupation be gone" again. Vox.

gressional ticket, A. j. Kellar's withdrawal
secures the defeat of the Radical Barbour
Lewis. There is another A. j. in the field

WAvERLY, TENN, Nov. l, 1S72.-Ac-
cording to the census of 1870, old Hum
phreys votes about twenty-five a hundred
and seventy-ive, though she usually polls
about fifteen hundred; of which Mr.. May
nard will get about three hundred Radicals
and negroes, johnson viii get four hun
dred, and Cheatham will get the remainder,
eight hundred. Old Humphreys will stand
by the regular nominees from Greeley
down. She was right in time of war, and is
right in time of peace. The johnson and
Maynard men here have both given up the
contest. All right for old Frank.
