The Banner, in its anxiety 20 make "trea-
son odious" and bring odium upon the
cause Of the South in the late war by de-
nying its justice, charges that It is the Sc
cessionists who raked up these war matters
that are now being made matters of dis
cussion before the people of Tennessee. Is
this charge true? There is not reader of
the Banner that does not know that for
three years past it has made bitter war
upon ex-President johnson because
of bis war record. That warfare
did not cease until Mr.. johnson an.
nounced himself an independent candidate
for Congress and commenced his attacks
upon Democratic organization. II is not
love for Mfr. Johnson, but hatred Of Democ-
racy, which has caused this sudden change
in the course Of the Banner toward MIR.
JohDsoD. It has been but q few days since
the Banner was charging Mr. johnson with
abandoning the Democratic party In 1850.
II Is but few days since that the Banner
was against any candidate who took Gree
ley as ga Sboice of evils" Now It warmly
supports Mr.. johnson, who takes Greeley
only as he would ga crooked stick" to
beat . bad dog. Il wes only a
few days since that the
Banner was publishing communications,
arraigning in singing terms Mr.. johnson
for imprisoning In Fort Mackinaw Gems.
Barrow and Harding and Judge Guild, for
impriSonirg Nashville clergymen in the
Penitentiary, and indeed for bis entire war
record. Now the Bonner blsmes the UNION
AND AMERICAN for publishing Mr.. Dun
nipgton's Columbia speech in reply to Mr..
Johrson's Gallatin speech.
Mr.. Greeley has been severely attacked in
the South for his war record, but be has not
seen fit to enter into justification Of him
self by attempting to array the people and
soldiers of the Confederscy against the ofii-
GERS of the Confederate army and the
authorities of the Confederate States, and
by heaping reproach upon the Confederate
cause. The UNION AND AMERICAN would
prefer to ''clasp hands across the bloody
chasm," and forget ''that we have been enc
mics in the joyful consciousness that we
are and must henceforth remain brethren"
But when the Banner, Mr.. johnson or any
other person or paper attempts to hand
down to posterity the names of Lee, Stone
wall jackson, Sydney Johnson, aud their
associates, 'linked with thousand crimes"
then we shall enter our emphatic protest
and insist that though the eanse was
'lost, there was honor and patriotism in
the struggle.

compact and watching for divisions, viii
rule the country. We Ihave
the power now, by q harmony
to elect every Congressman and a large ma
jority Of the Senators and Representatives
In the Legislature. But if every gentle
man who feels competent to Gil these offices
puts himself forward and his friends vote
for him, we may lose every one of them.
This would be an extreme case, but it is
a possible one. Will any good man hazard
the success of his party to advance himself?
Suppose by our divisions we lose the Leg
islature-what party will be restored to
power? The party that doubled our State
debt in three or four years-the party that
throttled and disfranchised majority Of
our best men--the party that created areign
of terror with its rough and brutal militia.
Shall we invite these men back to Office and
power again rather than submit our claims
in convention TO our neighbors and to
our party friends? Shall we, by cur dis
sensions, dig up the bones and galvanize
into life again this putrid skeleton, which
we have buried politically, without funeral
honors, so short time age?

as that which Grant has given the country.
As an evidence of this fact, it may be stat
