ALLIED TO TREASON. ''

II. l.. Morn, of Columbus, Ga,
was one of the Vice Presidents of
the Cincinnati Radical Convention,
who arraigns the Democracy as cal
lied to treason" When you come to
think Of this charge there is more in
it than you may imagine. For this
same motley Mott holds an appoints
ment under a Democratic admins
tration as Trustee of the State Luna
tic Asylum. This official treasona-
bic alliance with him, of course, sub
stimulates the charge. But we think
our Democratic Governor should
knock that "plank" out of his "plat-
FORM" or, when he goes to St. Louis
as a delegate, the Democratic Con
vention may insert sentence in
their platform confrmatory of this
"aliance with treason"-treason to
the Democratic party.

OMISSION,

In last weeks account of the gradu-
ating addresses ut the University an
omission was made which we much re-
greet the address of Mr.. Ed. HEN
BRICKS was entirely unnoticed. This
was the more unfortunate as it was
really very creditable essay and went
outside of the ordinary routine ofsub
jects. The title was "Iconoclasm, "
which the essayist explained meant
smashing of idols. He irst related its
origin as applied to the image break
ing schis MATES of the fifth century re-
peated in the puritans of the sixteenth.
He then went on to show that the de-
molition Of idols of one sort or another
is the most striking characteristic Of
the 18th century, as evinced in the
historical scepticisn initiated by Me
buhr which reduces so many heroes of
antiquity to the level of ordinary NOR
tails. He spoke of the change of our
feelings towards the age Of phiYalrE,
and of that general breaking loose
from the past by the gradual and dis
migrating influence of time which is
the great innovator. Eds voice is not
yet settled enough to make an orator,
but his essay was delivered with dis
tinctness and Just emphasis, and elici-
ted much deserved applause and an
avalanche of bouquets.

COMMENCEMENT AT THE CLARKS-
WILLIE FEMALE ACADEMY.
SUNDAY MORNING-sERMoR.

SUNDAY MORNING-SERMOR.
The commencement sermon was
preached by the Rev. j. NJ. Wright,
from the text Matt. xiii, 90. "Woe
unto you scribes and Pharisees hypo-
critics, because ye built the tombs of
the prophets, and garnish the sepul-
chres of the righteous, and say if we
had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with
them in the blood of the prophets"
He explained that the sin and error
of the Pharisees was in seeing all merit
in the prophets of by-gone days and
reprobating their prosecutors, while
they themselves overlooked the pre-
sence, in their own time, of one great
er than all the prophets, and were
ready to persecute him and bring his
righteous blood upon themselves.
His mode of applying all this to the
present day was one for which his great
historical learning and general inform
alton specially qualify him. He APP
piled it to those who recognize in the
past alone great men and great prin-
ciples of action and fail to recognize
in the present either the men whose
guidance they should follow or the
exigencies which demand their ex-
ertion.
Quoting Homer on the supposed
physical degeneration of his own time
compared with former generations, and
Horace. who makes his old man lauda-
tor tenapOris acti, he goes On to show
that even the practical Tacitus was in
consistent on this head, and that while
in one place he ridicules the spirit of
his own age dunn peterG ertolinaas re-
ceRtiam iacuriosi, he himself falls into
the same spirit when he calls Agrip-
pima RHicum dRtiqUitatis specimen. He
spoke then Of the fancied golden age
of the poets aud philosophers in all

CALL FOR COUNTY CONYEN-
TIONS.

The following announcement speaks
for itself; We wish only itcouId speak
loudly enough to force its topics upon
the attention Of those who are con-
cerncd in them, and that is upon every
voter in this and the adjoining coun-
ties:
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Montgomery county met at the
Office of Polk q. johnson on June 5th.
1876, and resolved to call a County
Convention to meet Monday July, 10,
IL clock, A. NJ, at the Courthouse,
for the purpose of appointing delegates
to the State Convention to meet at
Nashville, August 9th; also to norni-
nate candidate for county Reprepre-
sentative for Montgomery county, and
TO appoint an Executive committee for
the county for the ensuing two years.
They also suggest that q Convention
be held on Saturday, July22, at Indian
Mound, Stewart county, to nominate q
candidate for hoater from Stewart and
Montgomery, also that a convention
be held at GAINESVILLE, Saturday, July
" IOE LuE
Senate from this Senatorial District.
The Committee call attention of the
districts to a resolution passed two
years since that any district failing to
appoint delegates TO the Convention
will not be entitled to representation
and do urge upon the districts to
hold meetings on Saturday July LIST
for the purpose Disappointing delegates
to the Conventions above called and
suggested.
ID. N. KENNEDY, Oh.
Polk g. JOHNSON, Sec'y.
We cannot relinquish this subject
without a word more on the import
ance of it. Within the next two
months questions will be settled by the
legislature of Tennessee of more i'm
portance, as we believe, to the people of
the State than their private business,
their crops their merchandise, their
professional emoluments or their daily
wages questions on which the ruin or
prosperity q hundreds of thousands
depends, and get we feel the enormous
difficulty OF interesting people IN the
matter sufficiently to induce them to
give their personal attention to it.
1t is forever aDgrily urged that pub
JIG questions are disposed Of, not by
the will of the people, but by the man.
ipHlation Of irresponsible cliques Of
Of politicians in Strawberry Alley or
in the Capitol at Nashville. There is
always some truth in this, sometimes
more, sometimes less, but the remedy,
which is all that concerns us at pres
ent, is this and only this; for the people
70 take their affairs into their own
hands by attending and acting at these
primary conventions.
IF they don't attend to their own
business :hey may be sure that some
body else will, and then it will not be
transacted in the interest, not of the
people, but of such political specula-
tors as may resolve to make capital
out of it.
Remember, therefore, GAINESVILLE, on
July 10th, Indian Mound on the 22nd,
and GAINESVILLE again on the 18th.

DRESDEN (Tenn.) Democrat The
Weakley county tobacco crop last year
was fully four millions of pounds-a
figure which placed us long way
ahead of any other county In the
State, except, perhaps, Montgomery,
the only county in the State which led
US in 1870. This year the crop planted
would have been much larger than
that of last year but for the destruc-
ton of plants by the fea-bug. We
still think, however, we can count
with some certainty upon half crop,
as compared with last year, and as the
damage to the young plants seems to
have been almost universal, we may
count, with good seasons upon the
value of the product being fully as
great as the crop of last year.

IT may be remembered that we spoke
IN very high terms of Mr.. Chas. Ivie's
grafton, entitled Egypt in History"
especially of its peroration. Wenow,
with his consent, give a portion of the
latter in confirmation of our opinion.
Egypt herself is personifed and sup
posed to speak in her days of suffering
and humiliation. We give her fancied
complaint and warning with few in
troductory sentences
That Egypt was once great no one
can dispute. Her pyramids and her
forests of sphynxes sufficiently testify
to this but the genius which con-
ceiyed and the power which executed
works so gigantic have passed away.
The MONDAY glory of this country has
long set, and night blacker than that
which at the prayer of Moses appalled,
the courts of Pharaoh has settled upon
it, and dearly have been explated the
suHerings and indignities which she
once inflicted upon Gods chosen peo-
pie. Want stares her people in the
face, and at every step the traveller is
reminded how terribly the denuncia-
tons of Heaven have been VERIFIED
The tongueless caverns of the craggy
hills cry Misery the hollow heavens
re-echo Misery The oceans tumul-
tuous wave flashing the sandy beach
bowls loudly to the roaring tempest,
Misery. Then, In an interval of still
ness, voice is waited over the waste
of waters which separates us from the
land of Misraim, which speaks to us in
tone of wall and warning, husky with
sad memories but full of meaning.

Her face is Scared and blackened,

By the remaining vestiges of Kar-
nae and Luxor at the hundred gated

are portrayed all the paraphernalia of
my ancient religion, by the fearful
sacrifices of human victims to my
monstrous deities, | bid ye, all nations
of the world, do homage to the relig-
ion of the true God lest you likewise
may fall even as | did, By all former
greatness now lost, by all the magnifi-
cence, pomp and luxury of my ancient
palaces, contested with my present
penury, by the ruins of Thebes and pros
tration of Cairo, by the time-worn pyr-
amids which for forty centuries have
been the marvel ofall ages, by all these
and more, I warn you to reject des-
potism in your rulers, vice and idle
ness among your people; for just
as surely as these are cherished in
your bosom, just so surely nest of vi
pers is there warmed into life that
will some day sting you also to death.
Beware of following In my steps-be-
ware of my errors for they were many,
and, oh nations of the world, censure
me gently and with the softening balm
of charity and compassion, in view of
the power and grandeur which once
were mine.

INVESTIGATION TRAVESTIED.

1t is well known that as soon as the
Democratic party attained a majority
in the House of Representatives a
searching investigation was set on foot
into the enormous abuses which were
known to have crept into the admins
trative proceedings of government,
till then, almost irresponsible. This
was resisted at every step by the re-
publican party in the Senate where
they still have a majority and in the
administrative circles around the Pres
ident: these have succeeded in gaining
an acquittal for Babcock and, through
their obstructive policy, the impeach-
ment of Belknap drags its slow length
along never probably to issue in any
practical procedure though the late
war Secretary is almost confessed
thief.
But this thing of investigation be-
ing found to be a power in the State
the radical party have tried their hands
at welding it for the destruction of
one another and sometimes an adver-
sary Blaine is already so nearly killed
off that his quasi champion the Tri-
bune has dropped him and is ventilat-
ing its admiration for Governor Har-
tranft of Pennsylvania Bristow is in
the tolls and Speaker Kerr is eKpiat-
ing, without an atom of evidence
against him, his offence in giving the
majority of committees to Democrats.
1t is a poor policy. but the best left
to Morton, Conkling 4 Co., who seem
to think that they may yet reach the
haven where they would be making
out every one else as bad as themselves.
1t is public attempt at the you're an
other" style of schoolboy alteration.

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

We presented the platform agreed
upon at Nashville last week. 1t is
similar in its scope to that adopted at
Cincinnati a week before. As an at
tempt was made to modify its express
sions by a minority we feel called upon
TO make some remarks on the points
under discussion.
The main controversy was on the
9th article which we subjoin together
with the 4th which was not opposed but
which should be stated in connexiou
with the other, that the whole of the
conventions demonstration on fDan-
cial affairs may be taken together.
A. We favor the resumption ofspecie
payments whenever the same can be
effected without injury to the business
interests of the country, and with
fair prospect of being able to maintain
1.-THE policy Of the Republican party
having rendered an early resumption
impossible without ruin and bank
ruptey to the country.
6. We are opposed to further con-
traction of the circulating medium and
believe that commerce and the indus
trial interests of the country would be
promoted by the replacement of por-
ton Ofthe currency already withdrawn.
Now because we have expressed the
opinion that abstruse questions in
finance cannot be advantageously dis
eussed outside the halls of legislature,
in popular meetings, we have been ac-
cused Of desiring to set aside public
opinion as factor in public affairs.
These resolutions were manipulated
by that section of the Democracy which
has determined to bring them to the
front exclusively Of all others-and
yet the authors of them seem to have
come very nearly to our conclusion on
the subject, for after all they simply af-
firm that resumption is desirable when
convenient, it is not convenient now,
and we see no reasonable grounds for
conjecturing when it will be-amen-
so no harm is done, and not much
good. As for the resumption act of
last session whose repeal is demanded
in the 2nd clause, we heartily endorse
the demand.
That measure was not intended for
legislation but for party maneuver,
it was crudely aud hurriedly put to-
gether and is an excellent demonstra-
ton of our proposition that financial
legislation cannot be successfully
adopted in the heat of party conflict.
More than this is hardly called for
until we see the st. Louis PLATFORM
which is to be the resultant of all these
State platforms.
The other ground ofeontrovcrsy was
the last clause instructiug the delega-
ton in favor of Mr.. Hendricks, to vote
as a unit on all questions, and in all
respects tying their hands as tight as
possible. This we believe to be a
most unwise policy, unless conventions
are to be for ever manipulated in favor
of politicians rather than in the inter-
est of the people. We are raising no
opposition to Mr. Hendricks whatever;
we should vote and work for him earn
estly if nominated; but we should op.
pose this close dictation if it we're ex-
ercised IN favor of Mr.. Tilden, for
whom we have frankly avowed our pre-
ference. Mr.. Hendricks can in all
probability get the veto of not more
than one State besides Tennessee and
a delegation so instructed becomes, as
soon as that appears, 4 mere cipher
in the convention.

TRIGG County Democrat: The farm
ers Of this county deserve the highest
concentrations for their persistent
efforts to raise plants sufficient to set
out their tobacco crops. In a MAORI
ty of instances their tobacco beds have
been resolved twice, and as fast as the
plants began to show above the sur
face they have been devoured by the
bugs. The situation is 10 the highest
degree discouraging. Many of our
farmers have not recovered from the
effects of the short crop of 1874, caused
by the drouth of that year, and now,
with the prospect of another short crop
staring them in the face, it is no won
der that they begin that they begin to
complain of hard times and high taxes.
