Tildep. NJ osber Democrat
had been abla to accomplish
50 much OF reform and retrenchment
and none OF them had ever exhibited
20 much Of those qualities of determine
sion and firmness admired In Andrew
ksckson. We found him not only Crap

dsrers, but that he had already made
himselfa a nsver to-be-forgotten record,
IS tie master to whom New York city
was mostly indebted for the destruction
OF the Democratic thieves whose parti-
slnship never al any time rose above
their ability to rob the people they
p7oiessed to befdend. We found in sd-
ditiOn 10 this and orowaing life rich
IN services, bsSring important results TO
a people oyerweighted with taxation,
that he had ais, in less than two
years reduced the taxes of his
State one. half and crushed the ring
which fIr years had absorbed the
earnings and nonepolized the business
OF the Erie canal. With this record be-
fore us, and remem bsring bow import.

sense of tie word, Zoe APPEAL present.
ed DIR. Tilden tcz Democratic support
alone among al the leading papers Of
our State. Subjected to ms representa-.
tion, aunts ard inueBdo, We pressed
our candidate even in the face Of the
State convention, confident in our judg-
ment, because we found support for it i
In the columns Of many OF the leading
Democratic and some of the first among
the Independent journals of the country,
and were eucOUAged by the indorse-
ment of Mr.. TIden by State conven-
lions REPRESENTING communities whose
Democracy has always triumphed, and
is csrtsin to triumph in November.
Thus encouraged, we pressed Mr.. Til
den for the nomination be received yes
terdsy, Notwithstanding the assault Of
Dir. Kelly, aud the sdrolt speech OF Mr..
DoolittIe, Of WiseonEin. That the De-
mocrscy Of Tennessee will lay all differ /
encss aside, and unanimously ratify the
work OF the st. Louis convention, we
can have no doubt. The Issues are
too momentous TO admit Of any
cap.ious or Inkewarn policy by |
those who 50 molly stood by Mr.. Hend-
ricks The south has most to gain by
the election Of Mr. Tilden. With him
in the Presidential chair, we will be as-
sured Of home-ruIe, ss well ae retrench-
msnt, economy snd reform, and we shall |
have convincing proof that the ude Of
sectionslism which threatens Us sgsiu |
hss been stayed, and stayed forever.
We repeat, then, all that we have said of
Mr.. Tilden, and renew our importunities
for an unselfish support OF him by the
Democracy Of Tennessee. We council
harmony and unity, and urge upon all
our leaders to put themselves in prepa-
ration for q sweeping victory, carrying
with it sIl the offices in the State, from
the highest 10 the lowest. And to the
Democrats of Mississippi and Arkanaas,
WHO have again justifisd cur con-
idence in their segaeiiy and
their fealty, whose delegates have borne
themselves so nobly, snd.scquitted them
selves SO handsomely in the St Louis
convention, we can only say continue
as you have begun, and you need have
no fears Of the fiosl result. Until No
vember let US watch and work for
