THE ShelbyyiIle Commercial, in an
editorial beaded - oiued to His Idol"
says: Thomas, Of the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle, like a good many other edi-
fcrs of The Tennessee press, virtually
Nays he is only acting with the Demo-
cratic party through necessity Ger
tainiy no other editor in Tennessee is
like Thomas in personnel, and but few
can indorse his insincere Democracy,
If he really entertains the opinion
charged by the Commercial The
thronlcies is Democratic, however,
.Hemp.is -aPpeai.
We took occasion some months ago
to show, concisely, that the Wing and
Democratic parties, prior to the war,
advocated the same fundamental doe
trine, and that the difference between
them was in the adaptation Of means
10 ends The policy of the two par
ties differed somewhat widely; that of
the Mhigs being emineatly eopserya-
tive, whilst that of the Democrats was
more or less radical and extreme.
10 view of this difference we found, at
the close of the war, no serious objec-
tion to the hearty cooperation of the
members of the parties. the leading
doctrines OF each being SO nearly iden-
teal as to invite no quarrel about the
,nars, r,.a.o,.rx, I.-f oa lo.,lat o1 a. o.vo
effect to the principles mutually en-
dorsed and advocated. We are con-
seious of no 'insincerity, Tin our co-op-
Grafton with Democracy, and repeat a
former declaration, that our motive IN
doing SO is the good of the country
We have nowhere indicated that me
cessity'' had anything to do with shap-
ing our course; on the contrary, we
we're flee to turn Radical, or we night
have worn the livery Of an 1ndepend-
emit and, like the bullin the china shop
smashed things generally, and gloried
in the multiplication of glitterine gen.
eralties, and sought distinctions as a
disturber Of the peace of the party
with (which We act And, as lastresort,
we might, like A. j have repudiated
allegiance to Democracy and all other
parties, thereby spreading net to
catch all the gulls Astounding in each
and every political organization. We
have adopted neither of these dishon-
orable and unpatriotic devices. but
have accepted the Constitution as our
chart, and the prosperity, liberty and
honor of our country as the port of
