A CARD.

In the Chronicle of the 5th, note, per-
hops, the most sublime article that our
talented genius and author, DIR. w. A.
Shelby, has ever produced. to which / will
simply say that there is not a word of trut n
in 1t, with the exception of his PROPOSE
ton to me to give Ave dollars for any piece
of work that could do on my machine
that he could not do on his. and that was
after we had closed our contest and put our
machines in the house. II was then dark,
and he left the nextda When next M ct
DIR. Shelby in GAINESVILLE at which time 1
accepted hi proposition, at the same time
making him the same proposition, giving
him twenty dollars for each piece of work
ceptcd), for the Wheeler & Wilson is strict
ly n family machine.
DIR. Shelby did not sell even ONE machine
on that trip, nuch less six that day. For
the one he had with him he left on trial
ut j. +. Townsends, which, at least two
weeks later, / passed there and he had
not sold Ii then. AS to whether he has
sold TO but two of those parties, feel eX-
tremely doubtful, as IL is but an old, old
story for him to say he has sold to parties
whom he has not. Even If he has sold six
since that contest, 1t has taken him until
the time of the writing of his memorable
article TO do 1t. And challenge to prove,
In default of fifty dollars, that have sold
fourteen since that time, in stewart.
have written much more than intended,
so will close by simply adding that II the
Dr. has actually got any MONEY, that am
ready, Mt a moments notice, when he may
not be SICK, to make the contest over and
accept his liberal proposition.

WE are very much pleased to see
that our true-hearted and very able
townsman, John F. House, is work
ing effectively in the canvass. 1t
needs the thrilling eloquencc and con-
vincing arguments of such a speaker
to arouse the people to sense of their
danger and their duty. His effort in
Nashville-as We learn from one who
heard him-was q most telling one
and if he perseveres, we predict for
him reputation second to that of nc
speaker in the State.

was dangerous enemy to the party of
which he professed to be q member
and instead of working for the com
mon good of both sections, was, in
truth and in reality, an ally of the
Radical party, and covert enemy to
reform in the broad meaning of that
term. 1t is true, that we are accused
of never taking position, but we
challenge denial of this position and
appeal to facts to sustain its truth
The disorganizers of Tennessee are
doing their utmost to prove the cor
rectness of our theory, nor will they
be convinced until bitter experience
has demonstrated It's truth. The cleo
ton of Maynard, and two or three
other Radicals, may open their eyes,
but whether too late, the future must
decide.

THE boast, that Andy Johnson made
votes here, on Monday, may be true,
nor ought we to be surprised, in view
Of the porvcrsity of mans nature anu
his proneness to arrive at false con-
illusions in the very face of light and
knowledge. Those who make the
boast and exult over the fact-if it be
onc-cannot be convinced that every
vote cast against Cheatham is a vote
for Maynard, That such is the fact
is demonstrate by the simplest reas-
oning from facts and figures accessible
to all. We know. as we'll as as we
know anything, in the future, that the
more votes johnson gets the more GER
tain is Maynard's election.

We publish to-day, a card from Il,
+. Ferguson, Esq, to the voters of
Montgomery county. 1t is dignified,
but cffcctual denial of false charges,
and modest appeal in behalf of the
party to which he belongs, to act from
principle and turn a deaf ear to the
malicious rumors by which he and all
honest candidates are assailed when
ever the vicious demagogue seeks to
triumph over integrity and the best
interests of the whole people. 1t is a
painful evidence Of a want of public
virtue, that the best men in the COM
munity are made targets for the shafts
of malaco and envy, and none the less
so because those shafts arc pointed by
that base ambition which measures
the elevation Of its aims by the depth
to which it hopes to sink the victims
of its foul antipathy. They may beat,
but they cannot dishonor such man
as Robt, f, Ferguson. Vice has its
allies, as well as virtue, and the want
of popular discrimination between the
two, is the source Of the evils which
curse the body polite.

WE took the position, in the can

party was to work for a majority in
the lower house of Congress, and ar
gued that with such majority, Grant
if reelected, would be checked by a

the election of Greeley would be but
partial gain to tho cause Of honest

THE recent elections ought to teach,
even the Bourbons, the practical truth
that the triumph of Democracy must
be postponed until honest patriotism
shall have paved the way for its sue
cess. Independent Democrats may
well profit by the same lesson, so far as
to learn that harmony and unity are
the only means whereby Radicalism
can be made to give place to Democ-
racy. But selfish ambition was ever
deaf to the pleadings of patriotism,
and so long as even portion of the
people is willing to reward the knave
for his cunning, there will be no rem
edy for the evils of misguided ambi-
ton. No amount of evidence can
carry conviction to minds blockaded
by prejudice, and no appeal, in behalf
of patriotic duty can find q lodgment
in hearts preoccupied by selfish pur-
pose to indulge personal preference at
whatever cost to the countrys honor
and prosperity.

THE SPEAKING LAST MONDAY.

1t will be expected that we shall say
something of the incidents of last
Mondays doings in this place, it being
the day set apart for the use and bene-
fit of the candidates for Congress from
the State at large. We shall go into
no minute details, but content our
selves with a general view of the pro-
ceedings. In the first place, General
Gheatham was met and greeted by a
large crowd of our best citizens and
welcomed by an outburst of enthusi-
asm that did credit to their own patri-
otto devotion to their country, under
all the trials and follies arrayed against
their honest convictions and earnest
desire to redeem their country from
the accumulated evils of prolonged
msrule.
The friends of Andy Johnson--three
or four in number-met and escorted
him to his hotel, and Maynard was at
tended by considerable number of
of the sable sons Of Africa with not
single white face visible. Each speaker
reiterated what he had said on former
occasions and each was applauded by
his sympathizers. The crowd was a
large one and most confoundedly mix
ed, unless we come down to the prac-
teal fact that the friends of johnson
are the friends of Maynard-in this
sense, the crowd was made up of two
parties-thc friends of reform and
honest government, and the friends of
DISCRIMINATION and misrule. The for
mer, was largely in the majority, but
divied into three parties, the result
will show, probably, majority for the
Radical candidate-the disorganizers
being the most efficient friends Of
Maynard.
The speeches, it is needless to criti-
else. They are stereotyped, those who
have heard them elsewhere, know
their character, and those who did not
hear them here, can form sufficiently
accurate estimate of their tone, from
being informed that they were Con
sentative, Radical and disorganizing-
Cheatham, Maynard and Johnson
the two latter meaning the same thing
and tending to the same end-a Radi-
cal in preference to a Conservative
The facts alone, can enlighten, how
ever much the details might amuse
and we are in no mood to tickle the
fancy when honest conviction is SC
much needed to save the government
from overthrow and the country from
commercial and political ruin.

A LESSON FOR THE NEGIoE:


The i-noran; colored voters who. like
clay in the hands of the potter, are
moulded according to the will o: their
Radical masters, will, if they are posses
sed Of the power of reflection
at all. learn lesson from the
resul, Of the late exodus Of imported
voters into Indiana. Everybody, white
and black. Radicals and Liberals, knows,
Of course, that the scheme is directed oy
white Radicals, and that the vastamount Of
money necessary to carry it on, ia furnished
By them. The negroes are onl? the plis-
BILE tool: in Radical hands, many of them
altogether unconscious that they are about
to commit great crime against the laws
of the country, ana mos. OF them
under the impression that they are
performing meritoriou' act in helping
TO elect nMssss Grant in any way. But
the penalty attached to their ofense
agains, the law, if paid al all will be paid by
them, as in the case of the negroes impris-
oned at indianapolis. The Radical white
sinners escape not only punishment but
exposure OF their villiany, and lay back
in security while the ignorant blacks
whom they have fooled into rascally ways
are trembling for the consequences of
their acts. Happy the day for the negro
when he learns to think for himself, when
he slips his neck from the moose put upon
it by Radical politicians, and stands up IN
reality free man.

THE IMPORTATION SCHEME.

The Radical way Of carrying the cleo

manner which must be rather unsatisfac-

( Thursday, a gang Of forty-four negroes
arrived in Seymour, Indiana. On being
questioned some said they were from
Kentucky others claimed to be from this
city and some few refused
to tell anything except that they
knew their own business, but
nearly all said they were going beyond

on Wednesday and they departed from Sey
