officers who nlay have proved faithless
to the principles Of that great party, a,
we'll as to you. That the mission cfthe
party is not yet accomplished, listen,
fellow citizens, to the Union Republican
Congressional Committee in their ad.
dress to the people Of tho United
States
"It is sometimes said the mission Of
the Republican party is accomplished.
If by that no more is meant than that
tho party has discharged every trust
heretofore committed to it, we admit Il.
1t has been thought when one was found
faithful over few things that was q
good treason for trusting him with many
more things! Can you do better than
be instructed by such an example?
Especially since you must employ either
the party which you say has fulfilled
every trust, or employ that only other
party which has betrayed every trust.
"The occasion for political effort has
not passed. American progress is not
ended. Oother labors lie before you,
lighter perhaps, but not light.
H. You have to sec that what is done
shall not be undonc. Republicanism
offers you the best security against
retrogrcsson.,
"2 You have &c sec that the work of
reform goes forward. Three great
abors demand your present considera
| tion.
"The fourteenth am.ldnent to the
Constitution i, not yet enforced BY
appropriate legislation. Millions of
American citizens are denied even tho
co mmon law rights of flocomotion be-
cause they arc black. Ifsuch wrongs
are to be redressed, the Republican
party alone can do it,"
In conclusion, fellow. citizeua, in the
language of that committee, "if you
cherish the deeds of the recent past, aud
would not see them undone if you 70
spect the present, and would not dis
grace it; or, if you have hope of tho
future, aud would realize that hope"
we urge you to send to your couveu-
tions, and place in the public Offices
none but Intelligent, patriotic, unsol6sh
and true and tried Republicans.
Relying with confidence upon your
devotion to the principles of our party,
and above and beyond all, firmly believ
ing, us wc do, that you love your State,
we look to you for the redemption Of our
Commonwealth.
We are, respectfully, your obedient
servants and fellow-citizens,

"Thc tax unions move slowly. Why!
Because tho principle chat underlies
them is rebellion. The mass of the
people know it. They have had enough
of rebellion and fighting the "powers
that be, and hence the tax unions move
slowly. They teach the non-paym ent
to Republican Government of the
taxes, which is nothing less than rebel
lion.
Well, ali wo have to say about it is,
join the tax unions who ever may, the
taxes will continue to be collected in
this State, and tho poor fools who do
join these unions thinking that they
will avoid the tax levy thereby wont have
our sympathy, for if the dear, bought
experience of the past wont teach them
to shun the advice Of those whose motto
is "rule or ruin" nothing will.
Now we will look at this matter in
another light. We will bring it direct
ly home to tho small farmer and land
holder.
Suppose you conclude to join the tax
unions, and swear to resist the payment
of the taxes oalya you may be advised
is right What then? When the tax
gathcrer comes along, and don't receive
the taxes, the penalties arc put on, OK G.
cutions issur;., costs attached and then
turned over to the Sheriff and h Q is
ordered to levy on your personal proper
ty, which he must dispose of first before
he can sell your land. Well, how many
Of you but what have personal property y
sufficient to pay your taxes? What next?
You will resist tho levy by the sheriff,
he will call out the posse comtaius
{nl;litia) you resist L, which is rebellion
then the President comes in and views
the situation ! rcsult-you pay the tax
es, penalties, costs and all, added, and TO
your modification find, perhaps, as the
tax payers in Charleston did, thai your
advisers preach what they don't prac.
tice.
Certain lawyers in Charleston went
an d paid their taxes and then advised
the citizens of that city to resist the
collection Of theirs, and they would
defend them in the Courts, of course,
if paid for their services. But th 6
thing leaked out, apd the estate lie"
"damn the principle the money is what
We want" was clearly demonstrated.
Well, your horses and mules, cows,
sheep, corn and bacon, put up and sold,
of what value is your homestead to you?
IF this does not realize sufficient to pay
your tax, then your land is sold or for.
feitcd to the State. We said in prcvi.

the country. They have little person a

: In the article copied from the Ne,os &

found to buy the land offered for sal G;

TIE COMING GOVERNOR.

The gubernatorial question cannot be
postponed entirely until after the 9Th Of
August. Even in the midst of this most
interesting, and perhaps most important,
county canvass ever known in Shelby,
the gubernatorial and the Congressional
questions will obtrude. The latter is
farther off-that is. the Bolivar Con-
vention is some weeks later than the
Nashville Convention, to be held August
18th, and as there are several aspirants,
real or supposed, we will merely say on
that subject that the man who shows his
hand on the right side in this county
election will have vast advantage over
those who may be waiting to see which
is the strong side. This is no time for
weak kneed patriots or time-serving pol
iticians to slip into Office. Men of nerve
and principle are wanted, who will dare
to take the side OF right whether it be
weak or strong. So much for the Con-
gressional question. AS to the
next Governor, we find from the
State press that an unusually large
number Of able men in Middle and West
Tennessee have their advocates. At
least dozen good men have been men
toned, though very few are announced
as candidates, and as far as we can
Judge, no one has much greater strength
outside of his immediate circle Of friends
than another. Each man may magnify
his own chances, but the public,
knowing that material is abundant,
locks on without unusual concern.
Every candidate has sdherents, but there
is no indication that any announced
candidate will sweep the field on the first
ballot or set the woods on FIRE subse-
quently. Under these circumstances it
is not strange for those having the best
interests Of the State at heart to hope
that delegates viii go up to the State
Convention untrammelled and unbiased.
1t may be, and indeed we think it likely,
that the choice viii fall upon some
quiet, able man, who has made
no effort to attract public atten-
ton. 1t may be said that this class
is small, but if SO they are emily
the more conspicuous and easily brought
before the public mind aud cannot
always hide their light under bushel If
they would. West Tennessee may have
a suitable and available man 70 present,
and if SO we hope be will be accorded
the honor Of nomination, but if the
choice falls upon Chancellor Marks
General VIM. B Bate, Michael Burns or
some other good man Of Middle or East
Tennessee, it is all the same in the gen.
eral result, except that we might stand
chance to offer an able man fer United
States Senator next winter.

| of German Catholics.
New YORK, July l3-All the oil in
the tanks at Weehawken was burned by
fire yesterday morning. The Erie Rail
road Company Immediately put to work
a gang of two hundred men at tearing
up and laying the tracks. The fremen
managed 10 save the brick warehouse,
and Superintendent Sweet expects to be
able to ship the oil by tomorrow morn
ing, temporary dock being built about
one hundred yards above the old wharf.
The total number of barrels Of oil
burned was $1,000, and about 10000
barrels of naptha. Watson, the book
keeper of the Erie company, says that
50, 10000 will cover the total loss.
A Frankfort letter says the Rhine has
recently been the scene of two impor-
tant congresses OF Old Catholics held at
Bonn, and the union of the German
Catholics has just been concluded ct
Mayence. The latter assembly is the
most significant Catholic meeting held
for some time in Germany, and the
speeches made and resolutions adopted
have created no little stir in the German
official liberal and Protestant press.
Dispatches of reverence and loyalty
we're sent to Rome. There we're public
and private assemblies of members,
banquets, general communion in the
cathedral divine service at all hours and
concluded by pilgrimage of the guests
and members, led by Bishop Ketteler,
to St. Roehens, near Bingen.
One resolution on the general condi.
ton of Christian society says, Modern
civilization is incompatible with the
Church; a consequence of warfare
against the Church is dissolution of So
cial and political order. The remedy
therefor can only be expected when po-
litical independence and all traditional
rights are accorded to the Papsl See"
Other resolutions are directed against
the Constitution of the German
Empire, national party, Jesuit laws,
militarism, guidance of public
instruction by the State Liberal press
and the foreign policy of the German
empire, especially towards the Vatican.
The State is particularly exasperated by
the Mayence Assembly and all the ac-
tive members of the Mayence committee
have been summoned to appear before
the Court of Aachen to answer the
charge Of producing excitement against
the powers that be.
