There is no Place Like Home

This poetical expression is no
less beautiful than true, for the
fond attachment to home, portrayed
by it, pervades all classes of society.
The wandering Sythians, who had
no abiding habitation, maintained
that regard and veneration for the
sacred spot where the bones of their
forefathers slumbcred that the
mighty army of Cyrus could not
appal. The rude and untutored
savage of our western wilds, whose
dauntless spirit never quailed be,
quaiIed before a foe, has still
heart beating with the warmest love
towards his friends and the most
tender regard for the sheltered nook
that contains his wigwam. But in
civilized life what is it that binds
every sympathizing heart to the
cottage where our fathers dwell ?
Is it because of its intrinsic
worth, its money value, or is it
those heavenborn associations which
connect each brook and rill, each
hill and valley, with recollection8
of happy hours spent in the society
of some youthful friend who now,
perhaps sleeps beneath the sod.
Yes, this tends more firmly to
rivet the ties of affection, to paint
to the imagination scenes which oc~
Cured at home and to call up from
the wreck ofshe buried past, hours
sacred to memory, yet, these asso>
Citations, joyous as they are, would
sink into comparative nothingnesS,
if, from the circle where we spent
our youthful days, was removed "a
mother yes, home, sweet as it is
would be a temple stripped Of it
garlands, were ii not for the hal>
lowed name of mother to conscc,
rate its portals. Like the even
ing dew, which scatterS its frag-
rance while all else is wrapped in
slumber, so our mother, while every
other ear is deaf, is attentive to our
griefs, mingles her tears in the cup
of our misfor.unes and soothcs our
fearless agony.
What a solemn place for contem~
plation is the grave Of our Mother !.
Happy for US, if, when We stand
there, We have no remembrance Of
harsh words in the past to harrow
our feelings-if we can truly say
that no raven thread of her trcsses
was ever turned to silver by our
disobedience.
If she had faults they are buried
in eternal stiffness and our only
memories are the soothing words
that fell from her lips, the sweet
smiles ripping over her face and
the warm sentiments ever swelling
up from her pure heart, which Aoa5
J along like heavenly visions.
, Alas never did | fully compre>
. hend the charms of that one word
mother-until the grave had coy>
, cred her from my sight. But
though the tall green grass waves
| over her grave and the gentle
3 breezes of summer pass unheeded,
, yet never, till my spirit is called to
| rejoin hers, never, till the grave
l shall enclose my humble remains,
\ will I forget that word-mother.

chdSte communication
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Tenn.
August lltil, 1871 !
To the Editor Of the Bulletin:
Everything passed off quietly in our
county elections; but since, several
cases of negro whipping have been
going on. One day last week three or
four dcsperadoes left their homes near
Sewance and went around the country
whipping and abusing inoilensivc col
ored men.
They called out three or four colorcd
mcn at different places, and us they
would come out would knock them
down, from the effects of which one of
the negroes died. Democratic justifi
cation you are aware. The man that
denies that these same despel ADDE'S are
no, Democrats, would know that he
was utterlng 4 black and damnablc
falsehood.
should have said the election in
this county went Democratic; but any
person that knows where the scum Of
creation IL, knows that the place would
vote Democratic. And that same
scum is right in this county. Such is
Democracy. Still another outrage was
committed on an old white nan near
Decherd. Two young men, very bad
characters, followed the old mar IN
and beat him near unto death. and
iaen robbed him of the .ast amount of
three dollars. Politics had nothing 70

characters are Democrats and negro
haicrs.

From the New York World g..

''
The platform adopted at Nashville
by the Tennessee Democratic State
convention on Wednesday, is at once
the most compact and the most com
prchensive political document that has
come from a southern State since the
close Of the civil war. Taken as a
whole, it is almost the first clear and
unmistakable announcement that the
southern people are fast emerging
from the half dcspairing, half cynical
apathy in regard to questions of ma
tioual policy which so widely prevailed
among them during the darker periods
Of reconstruction and virtual deprivaI
Of representation in congress-, and that
the southern States are coming for
ward TO assume their just share Of the
benefits and responsibilities of the ma
tiona. geycrnu cnt. Taken in its sew
eral parts. and with the exception of
the half dozen lines which incorporate
the dead hcresy Of Prnhlctonism, the
Tennessee platform is as sound Il pc.
litical creed as the year has produced.
With this one exception. it il tho
roughly Democratic. 1t closes every
door in the face of expediencv and
compromise, and places the Democrats
of Tennessee firmly and safely upon
the principles which cannot fail Of a
glorious triumph in 1876. The inter.
ests OF Tennessee, in common with the
interests of other southern and Yves.
tern States, have suffered too gricv.
ously by the Republican theory and
practice of protection and monopoly
for the representative men OF Tennes-
see to lend u lukewarm adherence to
the saving issue ef free trade. And
accordingly the platform Of the Ton
nesscc Democrats puts forth no halting
or II rtain utterancc on this subject.
They oppose impartiqlly all monopo-
lies, rings and combinations for the
oppression of The people, and demand
