John @. Brown.

Last weeks issue of the Gallatin Ten
nessean has an editorial article concern
ing the Senatorial election which pays
an eloquent tripute to Gen. Bate. This
portion of the article we heartily en-
dorse-but we are sorry to find this SEN
tence:
eve have to say that in our opinion,
1t will be n difficult matter for the
friends of Ex-Governor Brown to con-
vince the people of Tennessee, and es-
pecially the Democracy of Tennessee,
that Gen. Bates non-election is not at
tribntable to their maneuvering, having
in view the election of Brown two years
hence rs the successor of Mr.. Cooper"
The Lebanon Herald, as all its readers
know, was very sincere and earnest in
It's support OF Gen. Bate for United
States Senator, and its editor spent two
weeks at Nashville, endeavoring to as
sist in eifecting his election. We are,
therefore, we presume, credible wit
ness, and will not be accused of partial
ity towards Gov. Brown, when we say
that the extract given above does that
gentleman great injustice, at least by
implication. We know, ofour own per-
sonal knowledge, that Gov. Brown with
drew from the race for Senator in per-
feet good faith; and we are personally
cognizant of the fact that, after his with
drawal, he labOred earnestly, persistent
ly and sincerely, as did most of his
strongest supporters, to effect Gen.
Bates election. That few of Browns
friends were opposed TO Bate may be
true; but, In the face OF the facts stated
above, it is grossly unjust to Coy. Brown
Co hold him responsible for the Obstinacy
of such of his friends as his most siren
uous eXertions failed to control. John
&. Brown acted with the utmost fairness
and honesty throughout the whole con-
test, and, as an original supporter of one
of his opponents, we desire to place on
record our testimony to that fact.-Le6-
anon Herald.

The Truth.

Certain newspapers in the State, act
ing in the interest of Andrew johnson,
are attempting to create the impression
that he is the choice of the people of
Tennessee. They are publishing all the
newspaper articles they can find which
praise their great Mogul, but they care
fully exclude all articles which express
different opinions. We wish the people
in other States to know that Andrew
johnson is not the choice of the Tennes-
see Democracy. and that his election by
the Legislature was a fraud upon the
people. Mr.. johnson was a candidate
in 1872 and came directly before the
people. He was beaten in every county
in the State except, perhaps, Summer
and Williamson, and he was beaten in
nearly every civil district in the whole
State. During last year he used all his
influence and power to defeat the Demo-
cratic party, and yet the party elected
their candidate for Governor by near
30, 900 majority, and also elected ninety
two members of the Legislature who
protested to be Democrats. Mr.. john
son is not the choice of the Democratic
party, and this the mem bers of the Leg
islature and newspapers which advocate
and indorse his election know as well as
we do. Andrew johnson is now a can
didate for the Presidency, and it had as
well be known now as later, he can
NEVER receive the support of the true
Democracy of Tennessee. Mr.. johnson
has denounced the Legislature as cor
rupt, and be it known that such a Leg
-islature does not speak the sentiments
of the people of Tennessee. The Legis-
lature may indorse all his political lite
since 1885; the people of Tennessee will
! never so stultify and degrade them
selves.-Memphis Ledger

What the Election of Andrew
johnson Means.

Andrew johnson in speech in Gala
tin last September referred to his public
life since 1885 as his platform. He
made the issue boldly that his election
would be and Endorsement of his public
life. Upon that issue he was elected by
forty-fOur members elected as Demo-
Gratis and eight Republicans. In view
Of that speech and of all his other
speeches since that time we may truly
say that his election, under the circum-
stances, means an Endorsement of all
his acts as military Governor of Ten
nesssee, including his imprisonment of
unoffendlng ministers of the gospel and
his cruel treatment to helpless females,
together with his agrarian speeches on
Capitol Hill. 1t means an Endorsement
of his rejection of the Johnston Sher-
man treaty, which would have secured
to the South her rights and would have
given peace to the whole country,
which treaty was made in accordance
with the views of President Lincoln.
1t means an Endorsement of his refusal
to pardon General Lee and OF his desire
to have him tried and punished for trea-
son. 1t means an Endorsement of his
special suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus in the case of Mrs. Surratt, which
deprived her of the right of trial by
jury and caused an innocent woman to
be hanged. 1t means an Endorsement
of all his declarations 'that treason
must be made OdiOus and traitors must
be punished" 1t means an indorse-
ment of the bill approved by him fixing
tax of three cents a pound on cotton
by which the Southern people were
robbed of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. 1t means an Endorsement of the
bill approved by which the gold debt of
the United States was increased nine
hundred millions of dollars and the cur
rency contracted to an alarming extent
1t means an indorement of his issuance
OF bonds to the Memphis and Little
Rock Railroad Company in violation of
law. 1t means an Endorsement of his
assertion in his Gallatin speech that the
doctrine of State sovereignty as an
nounced in the Democratic platform of
1871 and as contained in the messages of
President Jackson, was secession and
rebellion in disguise" 1t means an in
dorsement Of his disorganizing course
since 1871, of all his speeches denounc-
ing conventions. 1t means an indorse-
ment of his opposition to the present
Constitution which enfranchised the
white people of Tennessee. 1t means an
Endorsement of his denunciation of the
Democratic party of Tennessee as "the
Greeley Democracy, the rebel Democ-
racy." 1t means an Endorsement of his
doctrine as announced in his Nashville
speech, that Legislative bodies were
corrupt and could be bought" This is
what means the election of a andrew
johnson, at which so many newspapers
appear to rejoice. How can it promote
harmony in the Democratic party to
| reward with the highest office the chief
disorganizer? Andrew Johnson is not
a member of the Democratic party, and
his election by Legislature protesting
to be Democratic was simply an out
rage, and does not meet with the ap-
proval of the Democracy of Tennessee.

EB- Col. Jno. NJ. Galloway, a men,
Der of the Legislature from Fayette
county, has been called to taw by his
constituents for supporting Mr.. John
son in the Senatorial election. That
gentleman writes half column excuse
which amounts TO this: He had pledged
himself to the Shelby county Executive
Committee to do 50, and if he had not
so pledged himself, the opposition, who
had declared for Mr.. johnson, would
have beaten the democratic ticket. Sc
here is a clear con fession that the oppo-
sition of Shelby county controlled the
democratic delegation for Mr.. johnson
A beautiful excuse, truly. The Somer-
vile Falcon thinks Mr.. Galloway should
have obeyed the dictates Of his OWE
conscience and reflected the wishes OF
his immediate constituents, rather than
run off after the Shelby democrats, con-
trolled as they cOnfessedly were, by the
wishes of the radicals.

The proceedings in the case of JOHN
YOUNG BROWN were simply pusillani-
nous. The Radicals have majority of
this present House of Representatives.
In few weeks they are to go out of
power in that particular body. They
are, therefore, making hay whilst the
sun shine. With characteristic mean
ness, they are insolent and intolent, re-
fusing to allow any retort in kind. Mr..
DAWES ought TO be ashamed of himself.
Mr.. Blaine should seek some quiet cor
ner and blush for his manhood As for
Mr.. Hoar, he is a malignant idiot, an
educated ass, who has disgIaced him
self and the old Bay State wherever he
has appeared. 1t is enough to say of
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, that he is the SON
in-law of Zach. Chandler. The whole
lot compose sorry crew of defeated
partisans, capable only of small re-
venges. If they should involve the
couRtry in civil war, they will not be its
first victims. They VIII belong to the

SCHEDULE.


Ey- Elsewhere we publish two arti-
cles from the Memphis Ledger, a bold,
outspoken democratic paper, which we
have reason to believe speaks the senti-
ments Of the West Tennessee democracy,
notwithstanding the contradictory ac-
ton of some of her representatives in
the late Senatorial contest. The Nash
vile and other papers protesting to be
democratic, are publishing extracts
from various sources purporting to give
public sentiment on this question, but
it is noteworthy that they publish one
sided extracts alone, and mislead the
people to suppose that the whole world
has been converted to Johnsonism.
Why do they not deal fairly with the
people, and give the other side fair
showing? Are they attempting to ham
per the people of Tennessee to Johnson
just because he succeeded? If so they
will surely fail. We say with the Ledger
that the democracy of Tennessee will
never support Mr.. johnson, and thereby
support his political record since 1885,
the platform upon which he claims to
stand. Remember this prediction: An
drew johnson means to be the demo-
cratic nominee for President in 1876, if
possible. If he fails to get the nominal
ton he will be an Independent candi-
date.
