To the People of Tennessee.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. MAY %, IS74-The
Executive Committee, appointed by the
Democratic State Convention held Nay
9, 1872 has, by a resolution unanimous
lv adopted, called a convention to Assem-
BILE in this city Wednesday, the 18th of
August next, for the purpose Of nOmiu.
atinga candidate for Governor, and to
take such ether action relating to the
next State election as to that convention
may be deemed most advisable. The
committee earnestly urges upon the
Democracy of every county of the State
the importance of at once beginning the
work of organization 1t with pleasure
extends a cordial invitation to al Con-
servatives, to all who oppose Radicalism,
to unite with the Democracy in this
work of organization, that thereby
united, harmonious and Wells@isciplined
front may be presented, and thus an
emphatic victory In the approaching
election made certain. The result Of
the recent State elections iu New Hamp>
shire, Connecticut and Ohio, and Of mu-
nicipal elections in some of the other
States Of the North and West is full of
encouragement to the friends of Con-
stituGonal Republicanism throughout the
Union, and appeals with peculiar force
at this time TO Tennesseeaus, if they
would escape the depotism which rules
and the desolation which pervades cur
sister Southern States, South Carolina,
Louisiana and Arkansas, to array them>
selves IN unmistakable opposition to the
National administration which has es-
tablished that despOtism and encouraged
that desolarion
The gratifying fact that the great agri-
cultural States of the South and the
West are recognizing, more and more
clearly, the unity Of their interests, and
that there is in the States of the North
and the East noble band who favor a
perfect guarantee and the full allowance
of impartial rights to the oppressed and
puLdered of the South, that there is in
each and every State an increasing num-
Der who spurn monopoly, whether bank
ing or q railway, who hate class legisIa-
ton, whether 1t appear as q discrimin>
ating tariff OF in other guise, and who
demand with potential voice n reform
Of the official cOrTupti0rs which rios in
every depaI tment of the General Govern
mcnt, not as simply charged by partisan
malice, but fully established to the sat>
! isfaction eff all men-each and all of
public, bur to strive for victory, "like
men who know their rights, and knowing
dare maintain Though the recent past
may be dreary and discouraging, the
future is full of hope. The fruition of
our efforts after repeated defeats il ma
| tional struggles and in many Of The State
elections, is about to be realized in the
restoration to power of the party Of Con-
stitutional principles.
The State Commit, urges the neces~
sity Of organization by civil districts, by
wards, and by counties The Congress
iOnal Committees should look to the
thorough organization of their respective
| Congressional districts Each commit
tee should see, as far as the power in it
| lies, that defeat shall not occur by a
multiplicity Of candidates or dissensions
! in our ranks 1t is the duty of every
| citizen to feel an interest and take an
active part in our political struggles.
/ 7 he good men Of the State should see
that only the best men are brought
! forward for Office, whether 1t be Of low
| or high degree
1t is in the highest degree important
! that the various county and Congress
! ional Conventions, and more particularly
! the State Convention, shall be fnlly at
tended by delegates luirly selected from
the body of the people, that these con
veutione may be in fact as we'll as il
name representative bodies.
Let all remember that the interest anC
honor of the State ard the welfare 0
the citizens are largely dependent upor
the result of each ELECTION. Impressed
Eith this conviction let all unite with u
in the good work of perpetuating genu'
inc republicanism aud promoting tht
general good of all the people
