make room for as many rebel soldiers. |
This is the evidence Of the spirit Of
the Northern Democracy.

the following:
In tie 43d (Republican) Congress
there were upon the Door-k keepers
roll 1853
Of these were Union soldiers Is
In the 44th Democratic)Con

Door~ke6per's roll 123

The Democratic Congress actually
only lacks one doubling the number
Of Union Soldiers under the Repub~
lican Congress.
The South Carolina Democrats

How these East Tennessee RAIDS
sneer at the ''nigger" now that they
realize they no longer own bis vote.
It was doubtless a similar realization
as to the German vote which plompc-
ed the Maryville Indcpc3adent (Rep)
to speak Of Gen. Sigel as "a Dutch
failure "-Nd5huiUe 1n7crjcaa.
If there is a paper in Tennessee
that supports Nancy for Governor,
we have not seen copy Of it. Yard
ley has one organ, and Thomas, we
believe, one. All the Democratic
papers in the State, SO far as heard
from, with one exception, support
Gov. Porter. .-ArnorUijIe Tribune.
There are those who affect to be-
lievo that a combination or a con
spiracy has been entered into, by
| which the Republicans Of this State
made no nomination for Governor at
| Nashville, agreeing to support Dor
sey B. Thomas, Gen. Nancy on some
one else This is a mistake, Tn the
first place, no man has the authority
or the power to transfer the Republi~
can votes Of the State to any one.
II Gen Nancy, becomes a candidate,
he does it on his own responsibility.
So Of Dorsey B. Thomas. Repub-~
cans are in no way bound TO snp. I
either OF them. They may support
either Of them, or GOV. Porter, or
not vote for Governor at all, as their
individual judgment may dictate.
The policy Of making no nomination
was an experiment which we did not
encourage or advocate, but it Las
been made and we acquiesce. But ;D
doing SO we are not bound to support
any charlatan who may come ont as
an independent candidate. -hnor-

The colored men who have souoht
refuge and hope in the Democrats
Conservative ranks occupy a peculiar
position. There is enough evidence
Of the temper Of the Republican
party toward them. It demands
/ free speech, but not for the colorei
Democrats; it demands a fair eIeo-
ton, provided the colored vote goog
