Lay not that f1atterlng JUNCTION to your

have abused, revileti, misrepresented and
endeavored to intimidate the johnson men
will not soon be forgotten by the men who
Were too true to principle to go back on the
man who seemed to you, and las you

Gratis of Tennessee :" the man you were
the first to nominate for the position you
strove so hard to prevent him from OBJ
tanning. We have heard hundreds of
Johnson men-older Democrats than the
Union and AnlGricdl-swear by all that
| was sacred that they would never, never
follow the Union and american and its
organization again. We knew that the
organ and organizers would lay aside their
truncheons, after the election, and put on
the old hypOcritical smile, and talk as mild
as milk, with the false lips yet reeking
with the curses of hate and denunciation.
You will never yoke the Johnson men
with your dog-collar again. Never

So HOW IT PANS OUT.
The result of the Congressional election
is the census of the Secession Democratic
party in Tennessee. AS compared with the
aggregate vote of the State, it will be re-
vealed beggarly minority, and when you
take out of it the hundreds and hundreds
of men who voted for General Cheatham
TEEN, together with those who, from feel
ings of resentment, voted for him in order
to beat Johnson, to which add the num-
bers of votes that were bought and swap
ped, and it whites this insignificant lit
tie minority down to an exceedingly fine
point. And yet the drill-sergeants Of this
'tPart.y, like the three TailOrs of Tooley
Street, have had the cool assurance to say
all this time, 1--WE, the People," in the eff
fort to carry out their own selfish schemes.
There are numbers of good men-gentle-
men, whom we know to entertain politi-
cal opinions dramatically opposed to tho
political managers of the so-called Demo-
cratic organization, but who voted for
General Cheatham, for other than politi-
cal or party considerations. So whichever
way we may inspect it, we find that that
imperious little reorganization" cannot
stand alone.-NaShUiLIe Banner, It'll.
The avalanche supported Greeley, not
because he was the nominee of the Demo
cratic party, but because the movement
in politics which Greeley represented was
designed for the destruction of the old
Democratic party, that stood and stands
in the way of the prosperity of Memphis,
of the Southwest and of the whole
South.-Nen.phiS AUdlanche, tn.
THE DEFEAT OF LANDoN c. HAYNES.
The Ninth Congressional District has a
Conservative majority, and Mr.. Haynes
opponent was, in many respects, the most
Objectionable man in his party. That he
would be defeated by less than two thou
sand majority no one anticipated. The
victory was considered on all hands an
easy one. But instead of Judge Lewis it
is Mr.. Haynes who has been defeated.
His record as one of the old "original Sc
cessionistn leaders of 1S60-61 was objection
able, as uniting him to represent the
New South. He belongs to the class who
dragged the South into the war
His Liberalism dated only from Balti-
more. He was regarded as one who still
CROPPED in the shadows of 1861, and stub
bornly resisted all entreaties to step forth
In the clear SunllSnt. NOW GnaL Ine can
vass is ended, we can only reiterate what
has been so often said i'll these columns,
that the class of politicians to which Mr..
Haynes belongs have had their day of pub
lie honors, and that the people have made
up their minds not to give them renewal
of public trust or honOrs. Memphis AUd-
Idnche, It'll.
A LICK AT ANDY.
It is now shown that Andrew Johnson
is not only beaten, but that he was first
duped and then beaten. He was not sup
ported even by those who were his chiefest
admirers and sycophants, who dawdled
about the great mOngrel chief when in this
city. A few of Johnson's sweet admirers
supported Barbour Lewis, and voted at the
same time for Maynard. There was trea-
son to the man, to party and worse than
treason to this city and district. A power
has been organized here by these men
which sweeps them, the city and district
into black vortex more terrible to our
practical and personalfortunes than all the
evils ever inflicted upon people by that
incompetency falsely ascribed to General
Cheatham. Memphis bows in shame
facedness and passes under the Radical
woke and this is the central city of Africa.
