THE GATHERING RAM DISTRICT.

By almost every mail we receive intelli-
gence of the Battering Ram District,
and feel confident in saying to our friends
that victory will be ours, if we will but
work faithfully and put forth our strength
A we'll known Republican writes from
Campbell county that he never saw things
better before and that men of all parties
will support Thornburgh. From Jeffer-
son county, his birthplace and former
home, the most cheering news comes, and
the vote there will be most gratifying.
From Sewer we learn that heavy ma
jority may be expected. In fact the news
is most cheering from all parts of the Dis
trict. Even beyond the mountains where
the Republican voters are scarce in those
counties which were tackled on to the Dis
trict for the express purpose of electing a
Democrat, are taking fresh courage and
will do better than at any recent election.
But we must remember that we have a
heavy burden to carry in overcoming the
gerrymandering of the Legislature, and
that we need every vote. Rarely has there
been time when earnest and industrious
action was more called for and promised a
greater reward Let us all work, and all
will be right.

THOSE WHISKY LAWS.

The enemies of Horace Maynard are
trying to make policical capital against
him on the ground that he was a member
of Congress when the Whisky or Revenue
laws were enacted. These men try to make
capita out of this fact for Andrew John
son. But the truth is, johnson was Pres
ident when these avs passed Congress
and he approved them. Maynard labored
faithful Y to modify these avs and at last
succeeded, so far as to give our East Ten
nessee distillers far more privileges and
advantages than they ever had under the
tdaCS dpprOucd Gy johnson. If Maynard
is so obnoxious on account of these laws
which he had changed so far as he posi-
bly, could to be favorable 10 small
distillers and dealers, how much
more obnoxious should Andy johnson
be for never attempting to modify them
or make them more favorable to his own
East Tennessee friends. The fact is, these
revenue laws were necessity to raise
money to pay off debt forced upon the
country by the rebe ion for which the
Democracy are responsible. The laws in
tiicted some hardships upon the people, as
all revenue laws do, but certainly the Re.
pub leans are not responsible for doing
what Democratic rebellion made neces-
sary. 1t does not lie in the mouths of
Democrats to fuss about these whisky
laws, and especially it does not become
Andy Johnson men to talk about them
for he is as much responsible for them as
Maynard or any one else. He also signed
the bi levying a special tax of three cents
per pound on cotton-a law about which
the cotton planters of Middle and West
Tennessee complained very much.

WINNING LAURELS.

The joint discussions between Maynard,
Cheatham and Johnson affords our distin-
guished champion a fine opportunity for
presenting to the people of West and Middle
Tennessee, a complete defence of the Re-
publican party and Grants administra-
ton. He is doing this with such ability,
tact and success that even his bitterest foes
are compelled to award him full credit.
Thus the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf in its
report of the discussion at that point says ::
Mr.. Maynard spoke first and made a
most plausible speech for his side of the
question, He used no harsh ar unkind
words towards any class of people, but
treated all with the utmost courtesy, con-
filming himself closely to the discussions of
the day, making no unnecessary appeals to
the colored people. He is smooth, oily
speaker, and commands the attention of
an audience. He makes the ablest defense
of the Grant Administration we have ever
heard. Mr.. Johnson gave him credit for
having more brains than all the balance
of the party in the States. We do not
agree with Maynard in his political teach
ings, but must admit that he is states
man Of no ordinary talent. He received
marked attention, which he most grateful
ly acknowledged at the close of his speech.

THoRNBURGH tells the mountain people
that according to the opinion of the Ten
nessee Democratic Legislature, it takes
about one hundred and fifty-five thousand
mountaineers to make a Congressman,
while it takes but about one hundred and
twenty-three thousand of the other end of
the State. The facts are that way. When
the Democracy came to map out our dis
trict they were so spiteful that Hon. ]. T..
Nowlin, of White county. said that the
district was IAN exhibition of the most
monstrous contortion of the natural, SO
cial, and local feature of the history of this
State" 1t was intended to disfranchise
the Union element, but thanks to the
workingmen, the election of Thornburgh
will Illustrate their plans.

REASONS FOR SUPPORTING THoRNBURGH.

If the Greeley coalition ever had a pros
pect for success it was speedily destroyed
by the action of the confederate wing of
the Tennessee Democracy. While it pro-
fessed to take Greeley as the means to bind
the North and South more fraternally, it
put forward as its candidates for Office in
this State, men just mustered out of the
rebel armies and based their candidacy upon
the laurels won in the war against the Union.
?) Caldwell and Col. d. M. Key We're re-
spectively nominated over Union Demo-
Gratis. The former thrust himself forward
upon his rebel record. He defeated Con-
sentative Union men in the conven-
ton under the threat of one of his dele
gates that voting for Lincolnites was play
ed out. Now, will the people encourage
such spirit by supporting Caldwell?
Would it not have been far more
consistent if such men as Kew
and Caldwell had kept quiet and not
embarrassed their reconciliation" dodge
by their candidacy? Do not Greeley's,
friends see how their cause has been ruined
by such hot-headed, selfish men? Would
not the Billiards, Williams or Nelson's
have done better for such nominees
The people of this Congressional district
should not be at a loss for fitting oppor--
tunity to rebuke such men. Col. Thorn
burgh has been put forward by the work,
ingmen of Knoxville as their candidate for
Congress. They have done this because.
they know he can best promote their in
terests at Washington. The people have
ratified the workingmen's choice. Thorn
burgh is not the nominee of pack ed con-,
yention, of ring, or of caucus. He is
the Peoples candidate. He has occupied
an important public position since the war,
In that Office, without fear or favor, he
discharged his momentous trusts. He
there proved that he is not partisan. He
there proved that he could serve the peo-
pie impartially, ably and faithfully. If
sent to Washington he would follow the
same consistent course.
BY voting for him the people can rebuke
the proscriptive spirit of Democracy; re-
mind such men as Caldwell that this is
not the time for them to serve the public,
and at the same timessend an able repre-
sentative to Congress who, in the ardor,
zeal and ambition of his manhood can well
serve his constituents.

WHO SAYS S0l

We have seen a great deal in the Nash
vile Banner lately about Horace Maynard
being "the most unpopular man in his
party" in the State. We have seen in it
frequently such articles as this:
johnson will draw large portion of the ma
tive Tennessee, original Union Republican vote
from Maynard realizing that his election would
be more beneficial to the State than Maynard's,
whose nomination was regarded by many he
publicans as n bllnder.
Now we should like to know who gives
the Banner such information. We know
Mr.. Maynard has been in the way of a few
aspiring men for some time, but even they
profess to be for him now. The Banner
has its information evidently from some
few men secretly hostile to Mr.. Maynard.
Who are they? If the johnson organs,
however, count on these men influencing
Republicans not to vote for Horace May
nard, they will find themselves mis-
taken. There is not Republic
can in Tennessee who does not
feel proud of the dignified, gentlemanly
and able manner in which Mr.. Maynard
is upholding the standard of eur glorious.
party. He has successfully met the boast
ed chief of Democracy and in the judgment
of impartial men, he has vanquished him
in honorable debate. Where is the Repub-
lican who, under such circumstances,
would not vote for him? What has Andy
johnson ever done to merit support from
Republicans? Has ne not done every
thing he could to disrupt our organization?
Did he not assail every Republican leader
in Congress? Has he not heaped un-
measured abuse on Gen. Grant? Republi--
cans talk of voting for Andrew johnson p
The Banner must get its information from
traitors in our camp.
Let the Johnson organs count upon Re-,
publican votes for their candidate if they
choose, but when the returns come in they
will find all they got were disappoint
ed office-seekers, whose peculiar merits.
were not appreciated. Republicans will
never be so mean as to desert the man
against whom the malice and venom of
the rebel Democracy of Tennessee have
been directed, by legislation, by speeches,
and by the press, for the past six years, and
who is now bearing aloft their banner in the
greatest political battle of the past decade.

THE Greeleyites do not seem to get much
encouragement from any source. The
Nation an independent paper, one of the
original Adams journals, says the October

IT is fearful to see with what spite and
rigor the Johnson organ of this city as
sails the old guard who adhere to the nom
inee of regular convention of which one
of its prOprietors was a chief officer. AS
the Memphis appeal well says, there is
some consistency in the position of the
AVdLanehe and theNashville Banner. Those
papers were not represented in the conven-
ton. They have not lived off of the State
Government for the past three years as has
the Johnson organ of this city. The jun
Tor editor of the latter paper was in the
Cheatham Convention and never excepted
to its attack upon the Cheathamites is
frightful. VIII the old guard of the De
mOcracy submit to such treatment from

of this large and influential class through

given to any candidate. Let them see to

GIVES UP THE FIGHT.

Occasionally Greeley editors can be
found foolish enough to intentionally mis-
lead their readers as to the results of the
November election We know of some in
this latitude. But Halstead, of the Gin
cinnati Commercidi one of the syndicate
of editors that originally undertook the
little job of quilting the people into elect
ing Greeley, is too good a newspaper man
to deceive his readers. He knows Greeley
will be badly beaten and he therefore
gives up the fight,as will be seen from this
article
1--WE have endeavored to place before our
readers the precise truth as to the political sit
uation, subject, of course, as always, to the mis-
use of our candor by the partsans who arc un-
scrupulous. The October elections must be nc,
cepted as indications of the reelection of Presi-
dent Grant. All the world sees this, and deni-
ais are vain. Here and there drill sergeants
flourish their truncheous apparently with but
little effect, and proclamations are issued as
dolent of the uncomfortable will as that of Jules
Favre when he declared that France would not
give up a foot of soil or n stone on the walls of
fortress. 1t is our preference to accept the
facts as they como and state things as they
are"

WHEN SENATOR WILSON predicted that
North Carolina would vote Republican the
Greeley organs pronounced him wild.
When he said the October elections would
show large Republican majorities the same
papers said he was talking for effect. But
so far, every prediction he has made has
been verified and he has thus given new
grounds upon which to base his claim as
the best informed politician of the country.
In view of this the following from his ST.
Louis speech of the 9th inst, may afford
some encouragement to the Greeleyites.
He says: "You have met here tonight to
rejoice over the result of the labors of your
friends in the other States. 1 have ex-
pected this triumph. have expected that
we would carry every one of the free States
the older ones, | mean-and / shall be
disappointed if we do not carry at least
two-thirds of what were called the slave
States. And 1 have one ground for this,
and that is, that the needs of this country
demand it,
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1872-10-23
THOSE CONNECTICUT GAINS.

The Greeley organs have been taking
great encouragement from the Connecticut
local elections. 1t seems from the New
Haven Palladium that there is no comfort
for them even in this. 1t says:
Official returns from the town clerks of
155 towns show that the Republicans have
carried SO, the Democra As, and 81 have
elected mixed tickets, by far the larger
portion having majority of Republican
officers. Corrected returns give nine towns,
which were Democratic last year, as gain
ed by the Republicans, viz: Bethlehem,
Cromwell, Ledyard, Madison, Newtown,
North Haven, Sprague, Plymouth and
Vernon. Five towns, which last year
were Republican or mixed, are this year
Democratic viz: Andover, Bethel, Dan
bury, Naugatuck and Wilton. There is
not an intelligent Democrat in the State
but knows that his party was never in a
feebler or more disorganized condition and
all the Dragging in the world will not per-
suade them to the contrary.
