First Knock Down for Memphis.

Our contemporary blows Justify for
Brown. 1t wants no postponement of the
State Convention. The Memphis AUa-
Janchc hits it squarein theeyes in explain
ing its loyalty to Brown, and opposition to
Cheatham: -.--..
The Press and Herald is directly inter-
ested in keeping the old partisan Organi-
zation intact. It's editor has held office and
is dfaGious for more of at. He speaks from
the standpoint of an office seeker, and be-
longs to the class who rush to the front to
crack the whip over the non-office seek
ers who choose to think for themselves. 1t
is his interest to do so. 1t is his interest to
keep alive the passions and prejudiees
which so long proved ruinous to the best
interests of the people. We have no fault
to find with a partisan for seeking to adj
vance his own interests, but we speak for
the people, who are interested only in
good government, and not disposed to
longer obey self-interested cliques and
rings.

WE hope our readers do not fail to read
Our New York Letters. We invite atten-
ton to the one in this issue. 1t is written
by gentleman of high character and abil-
ty, editorially connected with one of the
leading New York papers, i'll sympathy
with the Cincinnati movement, and his
opinion of the Liberal movement is, there
fore, not apt to be any too favorable to the
administration.

The people of Knoxville have heard a
great deal lately about editors wearing
brass coIlars.n For an interesting eX-

pictured, fills the bill.

THE cOlored people of Tennessee consti-
tute large element of the Republican
vote of the State. Notwithstanding I'M
just Determinations against them in bust
ness, and unusual efforts to influence their
votes have been made in many instances
by the Democracy, the colored voters, as a
class, have consistently and courageously
adhered to their political convictions. In
view of the share accorded them by law in
the political administration of public af-
fairs and their uniform sympathy and ac-
ton with the Republican party, we trust
the Republican State Convention in Sc
Letting the colored delegates to the Phila-
delphia Convention, will send representa-
tive men of the race. We have colored
men in Tennessee of ability, courage and
character who ought to be heard on behalf
of their people in the Philadelphia Con-
VeutiOn,

The Free Traders who really began the
Cincinnati movement and intend to con-
troll it or kill it, are disguised with Gree
Iey's New York resolutions. Thus the
EUeai,eg Post calls them petty" and says
while Trumbull and Schurz talked very
we'll, the resolutions were as mute as the
tongueless caverns of the earth they
muff1ed the whole matter in few vague
and glittering generalities; and that
which should have been stentorian trum-
pet-call TO the vast army of progress
dwindled into thin and timid whistle
only meant not to offend the politicians. :"
