cratic Convention, on Wed
nesday, the Ninth Inst

Hon. James E. Bailey, Chairman Of
the Committee on Resolutions and Plat
form, made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:
The Democratic party of Tennessee in
Convention assembled, relying as ever
upon the intelligence of the people, and
theil capacity for self-gOvernment-aud
adhering to the fundamental truths OF
the Constitution, submit to the sober
Judgment of the people the following
declaration of principles
l. We do hereby heartily approve and
ratify the action of the National COnYen-
tiOn recently assembled at st. Louis in
its nomination for President and Vice
President of the United States-and in
the declaration of principles adopted by
It as the platform of the party.
2. We recognize in Hon. Samuel J.
Tilden, of New York, and Hon. Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana-the di5tin-
puished nominees of the party-men of
great purity, unquestiened integrity and
unsurpassed ability as statesmen; men
Who are consecrated to the work of re-
form: who are the defenders of the right
and the uncomprOmising enemies of
public pIunderers; and who, in their ex-
haltatiOn to the highest places in the gift
of American freemen, will neither forget
that they are still the servants of the
American people nor betray the trust
cOnfided to them; and we do hereby, with
cheerful hearts, accept the assurance
which comes of their candidacy,
that in the administration of the govern
menC we are soon to return to the pUreT
and better days of the republic.
3. We depTecate and condemn all in
fractions of laws made for the protection
of the person, property and political
rights of the citizen, and demand for the
entire people, without regard to race OF
color, a rigid and impartial enforcement
of the same.
a. we condemn the demonstration OF
silver. and favor the restoration of The
silver dollar to its former legal-tender
standard.
5. We are utterly opposed to the repU-
diation of any obligation justly due to
| the creditors of the State or national
| government.
6. We declare ourselves aligned with
the national Democracy as to the duty
of the Federal government to redeem its
pledges, and meet all its obligations, as
soon as may be consistent with the bust
ness interests of the eOun try, and in such
manner as to avoid forced and unwise
/ contraction.

soupd principles by the national Dem

and pledge ourselves to the payment o
ali debts and obligations justly due Dy

In this age of scepticism, facts are re
quired to inspire confidence in the minds
of the people; but, with good indoors
ers they are willing to test any article
claiming extraordinary merit. The pro-
prietors of Hair Remover offer the FOL
lowing endorsements Of the merits claim ed
by them for their preparation, by the
Pittsburg, Pa, "Christian Advocate" viz:
"The public have so often been deceived.
by the use of worthless preparations for
the hair, that an article of this kind, to
gain their favor and secure their patron
age, must possess real merit We are
glad to assure our readers that Halls
Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover is
meeting with the success which its
merits so justly deserve; and we have
reliable evidence, that it viii perform all
that is claimed for it, in restoring gray
hair to its natural color, and as a perma-
nent dressing, is unsurpassed.

Our County Correspondence.

CEDAR CHAPEL, Aug. -, 1876. g
Messrs. Editors
Since | last wrote to you, quite a
change has come over the agricultural
phase of this vicinity. Several heavy
showers of rain have fallen in the last
few weeks, which have proven quite
beneficial to all the crops growing in this
neighbOrhood. There is corn enough
made already to meet house demands,
and hogs sufficient to supply our tables,
and leave a small surplus for the mar
ket. A majority of our farmers have
small patch of sOrghum-large enough
to keep their families IN long sweeten-
ing" While this crop is regarded as
'small potatoes by a great many, every
gallon that we produce keeps between
so and IS cents in our pocket. It is
what a country retains that makes her
wealthy, more than " hat she produces
1t is what man retains that nakes him
talented, far more than what he may
read. The cotton crop is improving
raridly at this time, but of all crops it
is the most uncertain.
To my knowledge, there are few
and very few-parties who favor the
course pursued by Hon. d. B. Thomas
Whatever of glory to himself, or benefit
to others, may arise from his course, il
wanes into insiguifcance, v hen com
| pared to the destruction of representative
Government; and whatever may be the
peculiar views of his votaries, it mus
| be cknOwledged that whenever any
man assumes the Perogative to dictate tC
State, { enying her citizens the priv
| ilege to speak in their Conventions
| capacity, that far he is wrong; and
whenever any man gets his consent tc
| jeopardize the welfare Of the people of a
whole State, for his own aggrandis ement
whoever he may be, he has departed
| from the original land marks established
by the founders of this great American
Government and either the man will
fail, or our organic principles are wrong,
| a6 initiO.
While we are forced to acknowledge
the imperfectious of the Convention sys-
tenn, and Its frequent failure to meet the
wishes of those interested, yet until
something better is suggested by the
wisdom of the American people, think
we would do we'll to adhere to it; but
whenever a system more conducive to
the ends Of free government is substi>
tuted, then will be time enough to cast
Conventions, with all their past glories,
into the political wasts-basket. But
little is said of the Presidential canvas s
yet, but hope sober reflection will sug.
gest the proper course to all
Yours, &c, ANXIOUS.

Cane-Miu and Evaporation Patents.

We notice the Blymer Manufacturing
Company of this city, sole owners of the
celebrated Victor Cane-mill and Cook
Evaporation Patents, have brought suits
in the United States Courts against sun
dry cane-mills and evaporators, (among
others the Kentucky or Brennan Mills,
and the Ramey, Scantlin and Clegg
EvaporatOrs) as infringments. Many of
eur readers are using cane-mills and
eVapo ratOrs, and some of them may have
a personal interest in this matter. The
penalties of the Patent Law are very
severe, and not only the manufacturer
but also the dealer and purchaser are
liable to heavy damages in case of in
Engagement.

Ladies Pic Mic Near Middleton.

Two miles and a half south of Mid
dleton, in a grove near DR.. Neeley' 3
house, on the 9th of August a pie mic
was given, wholly by the ladies of that
vicinity, and 1t was conducted with so
much refinement that we consider it
doubIy due the honor of a column in
your popular paper. The day passed off
as a fairy dream, with Hothing to mar its
peace and pleasure. The morning being
unfavorable, it was not attended ty more
than three huadred people Refresh
ments were in great abundance on the
grounds
From Irish potatoes bacon AID beans.
To the daintiest dishes. 1T for kings and queens.
The public entertainment was splen-
did, the dialogues were acted in a most
excellent style, aud the speeches by the
little folks delivered with so much buoy
ancy that their parents will ever have
fond recollections of the picnic at Nee
leYs Grove. at the close of each dia-
logue and speech we had music, consist
ing of two violins and one dulcimer,
whose soft notes foated on the air with
the most melodious strains that ever
greeted the ears of the attentive listeners.
Miss Victoria Thompson, who performed
SO exquisitely on the dulcimer, is more
than worthy of the praise she won. At
the close of the exercises we're miscel-
lansous speeches by Messrs. D. helms,
Higgs, Norton and G. w. Yopp. MIR.
Nelms, who commented on the ehildren's
speeches, has won his way to their
hearts, and they return him their thanks
and warmest regards. Mr.. Frederic
who was marshal of the day, performed
his duty with so much galIahtry he justly
deserves the praise they have given him.
So all who want to have charming time
amid a most hospitable people, let them
take time and call on the young folks
south of Middleton. Respectfully,
! T. E. Y.

A HEALTH PROMOTING STnIULANT. -
Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, declare
that wholesome stimulation is not only
desirable but es sential in many instan-
ces. When the temporary good effect
of a sound stimulant is confirmed and
rendered permanent as in the case of
HOstetters Stomach Bitters, by the ac-
ton and Alternative principles combined
with it, becomes infinitely more efica-
cious Us a renovant of physical energy
and corrective of those conditions Of the
body which invite disease. The BItters
have received the emphatic sanction of
medical men who have observed the eff
feet of that popular stimulative cordial as
remedy for weakness, nervousness,
dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of the
liver, malarious fsvers, and many other
disorders. Its basis is sound old rye,
the purest liquor known to commerce e,
and itself possessing tonic properties of
no mean order. julyl3-lm.
