Mr.. EDlTOR. have dispassionately

Before going into the ca lculation,
| will premise, by stating that there
are thirty-seven States composing the
grand confederation, or the Union,
and that these thirty-scvcn States cast
367 electoral votes, minority (morc
than half) Of which is necessary to a
choice. AS there are but two contest
ants in the political arena one or the
other must necessarily be chosen.
Greeley and Brown, without some
fraudulent and Illegal interference on
the part Of the government, by it.

receive the electoral votes of the fol-

WE hope our correspondent Voter,
though not the son of prophet, may
prove himself prophet. But when
we view the situation in Tennessee,
and mark the tendency to apathy and
discord, We have sad misgivings of the
result in November and the future of
the Government. When the people.
of one State, display criminal indif-
ference to the preservation of their
right and liberties by discardng all
available means for securing concert
of action, there Is reason to fear that
other States may be similarly cursed
Popular government, based upon the
theory of popular intelligence and
virtue, must prove failure when the
people them selves become indifferent
us the TO means of preserving it, or be-
come jealous only in the cause of dis
organization-a work suggested by
selfish ambition and iostercd by am.
bilious and dishonest domagogucs.-
Tennessee leads off in this role and
the country will.be fortunate indeed
if her example is rcpudiatcd by Other
States.

LAST week we had the pleasure Of
an interview with Dr. StciGer, of Stew
art, who is a candidate for F!oatcr,
subject to the Convention which has
been called to make nomination for
Joint Representative Of the two coun-
tios We were pleased with his mod
est aud candid bearing and his manly
avowal that he will not be in the way
of that harmony 50 essential to sue
cess, but will abide, in good faith, the
action of said Convention.
So TAR as H. il concerned, We apprc-
hend no danger of a want of concert,
but the party, in this county, has been
~ thoroughly d,Sorsanizod that amid
the confusion, We can discern no land
marks that afford clue to its prob
able action upon any political qucs
ton. We do not know that il will 20

whether, if it does, it will bolt the

this state Of painful uucortainty-thc
offspring of wild crusade against
every form of authoritative orgluiza
tion-wo can see no escape from pros
pcctiyc defeat except in the remote
possibility, that the people may see
the impending danger and try to avert
it by return 10 iir,t pinciplc, and
safe prccclcnt- This is forloru
hope ~ long as popular sentiment can
not only be guided, but created by
the sen-cle,, cutlery of designing dem

makes them the equally convenient

cntrust them to the guidance of men
intelligent enough to see that in the
promotion of their own individual
good, lies the good Of the people also,
than disorganizing independently whose
skill is in pulling down, instead of
building up, and whose ambition is,
to be on top, whether the structure
rises in beauty and strength or falls in
ruins from deficient workmanship or
rottenness Of materials.

MASS MEETINa.--Wc invite attcn-
ton to the call of the Executive Com
mittee for a mass meeting of the peo-
pic of Montgomery, to be held in this
city on Monday, October 9TH, to reason
together and take some action, in the
interest of harmony, by agreeing
among themselves to discard local and
personal prejudices and substitute
therefor, patriotic determination to
serve their country rather than selfish
Office seekers. The time is suspicious
for such meeting and such resolve,
and we hope the people will come to-
gether from all parts of the county
resolved, if necessary, to sacrifice
much for the common good, and to
discountenauce disorganizers as most
dangerous enemies to the peace and
prosperity Of the State.

We are satisfied that the white sup
porters of Andrew johnson may be
classed under the heads-original I'm
ion men, csrpet-baggers, scallawags,
and few of those southern sympa-
thisers who, however honest their CON
victions that the South was right, es-
capped the clutches of the lawless ty-
rant now wheedling them into the be-
lief that he was the patriot, they the
traitors to the Constitution and the
South. This belief is base upon the
conviction that no true southerner is
prepared to admit, even by implica
ton, that he has committed treason
nd therefore, merited all the wrongs
and insults inflicted upon him by An
drew johnson and his northern allies
or that his heinous crimes drive hin
without the pale of the Constitution
and the laws, beyond even, the sympa.
thies of a people professedly chris
tan, 1t is argued by these supporters
of johnson that the crisis demand:
the services of our ablest men-mer
competent to expose the villanies o
Radicalism and to vindicatc the SUI
premacy of a violated constitution
Was Andy less competent to do thes'
things in 1860, than now? Was til,
crisis less urgent then than now? Yet
through dishonesty, he proved himsel
utterly incompetent to the task whicl
his ability is now invoked to perform
What additional security has he given
since the beginning of the war, tina
he will be true to the South and faith
full to the Constitution? 1t is answer
cd that his quarrel with the Radica
party has revived his ante-war devo
ton to the Constitution and, since h
can make no more capital ont of hi
Radicalism, the only hope of prefer
ment left him lies in his ability t.
wheedle himself into the good grace
of the people whom he so basely be
trayed and so cruelty oppressed. I
this we object, that the man who's
principles and uprightness depend up
on his personal relations to a party, i
n knave at heart, and not to be trustee
farther than his individual interest
may serve to secure his advocacy Q
the right and his fidelity to a party o
people. That this is true Of Andre,
johnson is apparent not only from hi
antecedents-his war record, but fror
his present attempt to force himsel
into Office by disruptng the party fror
which he asks that Office, and the pref
orence which his conduct bctrays 70
his co traitor, Maynard, over the gal
