SIMMER MOVING.

Few Of our Middle Tennessee cOun-
ties were worse split up IN 1872, and
none giFe now more certain promise of
returning harmony. At the recent
meeting in Gallatin, the proceedings of
which were fully reported in the UNION
AND AMERICAN, Messrs. ]. R. A.
Tomkins, 7. ]. Turner and Thos. Boy
ers. were appointed a committee to
draft and issue an address to the peo-
pie. and a county convention is called
to meet on July 6. AS indicating the
eommendable spirit Of the address, We
make the following extracts:
There was no principle involved in
the dissension that took place two years
ago, and that it was caused by mere
difference as to the choice of men.
Both of these men are now of one par
~. and no doubt both are heartily WILL
mo to work with us for its success IN
the coming contest. We are unable to
see any Just cause why the friends of
the distinguished gentleman should not
unite in the effort to undo the mistake
of the last canvass.
You will have at the coming election
in November next, to elect Governor,
a member of the Legislature, member
to represent this Congressional Dis
trict IN the Congress of the United
States.
We hear a general oomplaint of high
taxes. a large State debt, compllca-
ted in its connections with railroads
and turnpikes; objections to the assess
ment and funding laws; various plans
for paving the interest on our State
debt-some for paying half, some none
for time, others all, whilst many good
citizens. the bondholders, minors,
widows. old men and those who bought
ON speculation. ask the State to redeem
her pledged faith to pay
the interest and not tornish our
fair name by liquidation; the school
system; the great expense OF State
prosecutions, and a United States Sen
ator to elect are among the important
questions TO be considered. We might
extend the list to al indefinite extent
Int sufficient has been mentioned to
show the importance Of our State eiee-
| tons.
As to the means to be used to insure
success: Let our principles be sound
testing every proposed measure by
the Constitution of our country, and
| the morality taught N our Bibles; that
our legislation be wise, honest, and foT
the GOOD of all and not in the interest
of any man, clique, class, corporation
or monopoly; and there must be har-
mony-for IN union there is strength
without it defeat is certain.

THE AuENDE HONORABLE.

Some days ago the UNION AND
AMERICAN circulated squlb that the
gentlemen who called upon Mr.. John
son to get him to speak IN Columbia
were ali Radicals. 1t turns out that
Alf Horsly, the gifted editor OF the
Columbia Herald and Mail, IN his last
issue, names the men, and pronounces
the statement as untrue. 1t would be
very proper in the UNION AND AMER

stating the truth, as stated by MIR.

PEACE AND WAR ANTAGONIST


OF the four classes of students in
Bowdoin College, Maine, three have,
with few exceptions, been expelled for
refusing to submit to military drill as
part of their education, and that
staid and independent paper, the Nea0
York Journal Of Commerce, defends the
young rebels:
The war has left US with an abund-
ance of military men In civil offices,
and a military spirit pervading every
thing. The atmosphere at Washing
ton is highly military, and the White
House is a sort of army headquarters.
Federal laws are enforced by military
officers, and troops are called out on
tue slightest provocation. If an Illicit
whisky still is to be seized. that
operation, even In this city and
vicinity, is no longer performed
by deputy marshals in plain
clothes, armed only with the
majesty of the law, but by regular
troops, who march through the streets
with guns loaded and bayonets fixed.
All through the South, since the wal, the
Government has put reliance mostly
on its soldiery. The tendency of this
military spirit is to encrOach upon, and
finally overawe, the civil power; and if
things 60 on ,,as they are drifting now
we shall not be surprised to see cOrdons
of Federal bayonets hristling about
the polls in the most peaceful commu-
mites. Against this tendency there is
need of perpetual vigilance, and Occa-
|. sionally emphatic protest. Therefore
we cannot look with Indifference on the
combined action of the BOwdoin Col
lege boys in refusing to be turned from
students into soldiers. They only show
that antagonism which persons of stu
dious and thoughtful minds must feel
to the domination of the military idea
in civil life.
The hasty appeal to armed violence
as a cure for all the ills that flesh
is heir to, 50 common everywhere with
nations and individuals, is a remnant
of barbaEism. Without military drill
in the use of death-dealing weapons, a
college education is deemed incomplete
In this Christian age and land, where
one might wish in vain for the day
when spears shall be beaten into
pruning hooks and swords into plough
shares.
The antagonism mentioned by the
Journal Of Commerce really exists; it is
for the people to say whether they will
foster the fighting elements in society
and the despotism that inevitably fol
lows, or encourage all the influences OF
peace, liberty and good will We can
not have genuine peace under thedomi'
nation of the military notions of past
ayes. They are the offspring of wal
conditions and influences, and so long
as they are propagated, they forbid any
progress toward higher and better
development of mankind.
