candidate has ever received a larger majority
than Gresham Will.
A young gentleman, characterized by
the Union and american as tone of the
first lawyers of his age in Tennessee
after carefully reading Johnson's Gala
tin speech as reported in the Banner
(Johnson's organ, writes:
BEFORE 1 was twenty-one I entered the Con-
federate army, with but little knowledge OF
political affairs, and certainly with no ma
tured views to the right or wrong OF secession.

Sensible words and good example this
for not only Confederate soldiers, but all
in Tennessee who sympathized with
them, and all who now sympathize
with and intend to vote for Greeley, the
apostle of reconciliation. But that's
not all we have to-day. MI. Joseph
Weems, of Bon Aqua Springs, writes
the Union and american:
Dfsorganizers are popping up all over the
State. Independent candidates, encouraged
BY the Banner and Andrew johnson, are COM
ing out in almost every county They have
no chance of success, but hope to break up
the dominant party in the State and thus re-
store Radicalism to power. Therefore,, the
success OF our party demands harmony and
unity Of action, by its friends, in every
county and district in the State. This can
only be done by the adoption OF the conyen-
ton system and casting aside of all 1ndepen-
dent candidates, and especially my friend, Mr..
Johnson, who IS damaging our cause more
than any Radical in the state.
And this is growing everywhere
throughout the State. The people feel
that the only surety they have for the tri-
umph Of their cause lies in the integrity
of the Democratic party and the ardent
support of the regular nominees. They
know that the Independents have no
chance for success, save at their ex-
pense, and that at the best, they are but
working in the interests of the Radical
