UNTIL recently the Democratic or
gan of this city, has had but one siu~
gle tune, and that was Civil Rights"
Now it comes up and tries to perform
another which it calls " Prosser's
Memorial Of Infamy,n but there is
very little music in it, The object Of
all this is to divert the minds of the
people from real evils, 10y making a
great deal Of noise about that upon
which there Is no issue. 1t is agreed
upon all hands, that the Civil Rights
BIZ has very few, If any supporters
here livery man of sense knows,
that when "outragcs ~ in this State,
committed upon men because Of their
color or politics, is referred to, no re
ference is made to Eastern Tennessee.
Public sentiment here prevents such
things. y few weeks ago the Press
and Hcrald attempted to justify an
Instruction i'm Louisiana but
1t saw that public opinion was
the other way and it came down, not
gracefully but quickly. SO it would
be if outrages were to be perpetrated
here and the Press and Hcraid should
defend the outlaws, as it probably
would, healthy public opinion, such
as prevails in this locality, would force
it to take an opposite course.
But why is it that the Press and
HCrald has nothing to say about the
State canYass? Why is it, that it does
not defend the Administration of
Gov. Brown, against the charges made
by cX-President Johnson, the most
prominent Democrat in the state, and
! 10y Hon. Horace Maynard Why
don't it explain about the public print
ing swindle which the people are
caliedupou to endorse by voting for
Judge Porter on the State Democratic
platform" It is believed by some that
the Press and Ifcrald par
ticipated to some eXteu, in
the spoii~ of the Jones
Purvis u Co. swin.Ir, and il. failure
to defcud the concern strengthens that
belief Why don't that paper have
something to say in reply to the charg,
made time and again about the secre
manner ian which the peuitentiary
, was leased ? The people are not az al
d satisfied with Democratic eX plauation
OF the Hobbs-B urch transaction. but
