"Gov. Hayes represented the par
ty that carried all but four of the
States that furnished men for the
suppression of the rebellion, and
Gov. Tilden all but three of those
which sought to destroy the Union. "
-Grant.
Aside from it being indicate,
not to say outrageous and indecent,
for the President of the whole peo-
pie to use his power aats the power
of the nation to cover up fraud, as
sociate with and hoi5c, thieyes and
bolster up and defeGt a9urpers and
Williams, this uttetaneo. even If it
had come from p5i=a1s republican
citizen, is absoluialy famous. The
argument is this: He 'se a MAORI
ty of the Soutlka~ ses voted for
Tilden, Hayes mn be counted in.
Now, the Southsae states are either
States or they SIS, not States. If
they are ScGSs. .Ie ballots of the
people are as sacred and effective
as that of the blackes5 republican
that ever Rugged a negro in his
dreams. If they are not to be al
lowed to have their votes counted
after casting them, where is the use
and sense of continuing the election
farce any longer in the South?
Eleven years have healed the gaping
wounds of war, and the soothing
fluctuations of time and manifold
events have even obliterated the
scars of those wounds, and then we
brought all our lingering animosi-
ties and hates and cast them into
one huge centennial funeral pile,
and with the torch of liberty, lit
afresh at the shrine where the ma
ton assembled to celebrate its
birthday, we touched off that pile
and now the ashes have been scat
tered by the winds, and the flame
and smoke have disappeared, and
still there can be found a man mean
enough to dig up the past and re
sort again to the argument of hate.
Now and forever, so far as we are
concerned, we shall contend that
the South is as loyal as any other
section, that she has a right to be
heard end that tameness and sub
mission no longer become her. To
be cowhided and spit upon and
browbeat and kicked in the hour
succeeding her defeat was what she
expected, and she was not disap
| pointed; but these indignities have
multiplied beyond measure and en-
dured beyond power to endHre, and
injury and insult and SANDER and
defamation have puked their venom
upon US until every sense of justice
must be satiated. Henceforth, lei
the South speak out and assert hel
rights, in the Union forever, and
may the tongue that says she is not
to be trusted wither in the scorch
of It's slanderous utterance, and
may the arm that is uplifted to
beat her back from her position as
a part of the National Union be
palsied and withered to the marrow

State Convention.

We call upon the Democratic
State Committee to issue its call
for a convention to be held at Nash
Vile on January sth to protest
against the past, present and pros
pective villainy Of the administra
ton, to rebuke the conspirators at
Washington, and to demand that
the expressed will of the people be
carried into effect by the peaceable
Inauguration OF Tilden and Hend-
ricks. Indiana makes the call and
the States should all respond. This
is a constitutional resort and may so
stun the conspirators as to render
unnecessary an appeal to arms.

Admiral Whitthorne.

We learn from the Washington
dispatches that the Hon. w. G.
WhitthoIne, Of this State, Chairman
of the Naval Investigating Commit
tee, is determined to dig, with re-
Hewed vigor into the mountain of
corruption which has been piled up
by Robeson's administration of Ma
val affairs. admiral Whit" as he
is called with meaning, has shown a
capacity and vigor for this impor-
tant work, which has won the admi-
ration and the confidence of honest
men and patriots everywhere. 1t is
quite evident that he possesses the
industry, the brains and the nerve
to do all that duty requires, and be-
fore he is done with the knaves of
the Naval department the people.
who already for the splendid work
accomplished applaud him without
stint, will have abundant additional
reason for admiring and honoring
him.
In this connection it is proper to
state, that Mr.. Whitthorne is devel
oping decided strength in Middle
Tennessee for the United States
Senate. And it would be no in
Justice to other distinguished aspi-
rants for the same high honor, to
say that he is the peer of any man
in Tennessee. He has the expert
ence, the mind the comprehensive
wisdom which comes of well or
ganized brain, well trained, to fit
him for the Senate. And should
the senatorial mantle fall on his
shoulders, we feel safe in saying
that it will be gracefully and
worthily worn. We are by no
means Mr.. Whitthorne's champion,
and write this in simple justice TO
one of Tennessee's most deserving
INSTRUMENTATION San.

A. Great Speech.

We ask the Responding and i'm
patient Democrats of the South to
read the following extract from the
great speech recently delivered by
Horatio Seymour of New York:
The Democratic party is too
strong to be violent; it will not for
felt the confidence of the people by
any display Of passion; it can assert
itself through the regular channels
of political action. Frauds may
delay the course of justice, may ex
cite passion hurtful to the progress
of our country, but legal and just
punishment will surely follow. That
party which controls towns, coun-
ties and States will control the
country. The President against
whom is arrayed the body Of the
people, is an object of sympathy,
not of fear. This is not a subject
which belongs alone to those who
are actively engaged in political af-
fairs 1t is a great American ques-
ton, which concerns every citizen
and every home. They can make q
grand exhibition of the genious of
our government, and of the power of
its citizens by a calm rebuke to
frenzied rulers. Even those who
desperately seek to hide the records
of past misconduct from the knowl
edge of our people viii quail before
an aroused public. One thing all
men see: the Republican party can
not decide its own case in its own
favor against the majority of the
American people upon the certifi-
cate of branded men in Louisiana
without making the body of our
citizens and the world at large feel
that 1t is a corrupt and partisan de-
cision. We cannot have Mexican
politics without Mexican disorders.
The business men in all civilized
countries have been taught by re-
cent bankruptcies and disorders in
governments made unstable by agi
tatiOns, to be watchful and disturst-
full when they see the slightest de-
Walton from political honor, with
out which there can be no financial
j honor.

Grant Spelling for a Fight.

AS he draws inspiration from the
black bottle each morning, Grant
becomes more bloodthirsty, and
bowls more savagely for gore. He
is evidently spelling for fight.
Recently, when the representatives
of the people were talking about
impeaching him, he snapped out the
savage intimation that "they had
better not attempt it." His bloody
threat of driving the house of rep
resentatives into the Potomac was,
it seems, not sufficiently sanguinary.
1t is now followed by a threat to
''incarcerate that body, or a major
ity of it, in Fortress Monroe" Real
", it is getting difficult to find in
history an autoeFat of sufficient saw
age and bloodlAirsty propensities
