The main object of the Executive
Committee, at their meeting in Nash
vile, Dist May, should be TO heal the
| differences of the past and promote harS
mony and confidence in the Democratic
party. by pursuing a policy Of judg
ment, pru ience and Iiberaiity they can
sweep the State in November, with a
splendid majority; but if the IRdepend'
ents and the Johnson msn, ere to be ar
raigned as traitors to the party as some
Incorporate, partizan papers would de-
sire, the Democracy will suffer q Water
loo defeat.
Let the Committee issue an address to
the people of the State, giving a cordial
and honest invitation to all who oppose
the Republican party 10 join them in the
| canvass, assuring them of hearty wel~
! come upon terms Of perfect confidence
| and equality, and the call viii be ano
swered with enthusiasm from Carter to
Shelby.
The interests OF the State wiz net
| suffer If the Gubcrnatorial convention
| should not assemble until after the Au-
| gust election jackson Courier Herald.
70 all Of which we heartily subscribe,
but if any considerable number Of parti-
san papers, Incorporate or otherwise,
has proposed to arraign the friends Of
the ex President as traitors to the party,
we are not aware Ct it is true many
things were said during the canvass of
1872 that created i'll feeling between the
two wings Of the conservative party in
this State. There was absolutely no help
for this, and the only true course now
for the opponents Of radicalism to pur-
sue is the one laid down by cur coteIn-
porary. Such a leader as Andrew john
son always inspires confidence in hi
followers. and The antecedents of one 81
long 10 public life are always, In some
particular, open to assault by his Oppo
ncnts This state of things is calcula
ted to make men, in their zeal for thei
favorites, forget the golden principles c
soberness and moderation. Let US, then
forget the past differences as to individ
ua}s, and unite as conservatives ant
democrats TO prevent the State from fall

vcmber. While VIC believe that Nj

conservative ranks for the purpose o
