IT is TO be regretted that Hon. W. G.
Whitthorne, of the Maury. Tennessee,
District, has failed of denomination for
Congress. He was by the far the most
prominent member from the South, and
his exposure of the frauds in the Navy
Department, has given him an enviable
reputation. There would have been a
peculiar fitness in his unanimous renom-
iIation, inAsmuch as the Republicans of
the District in which Secor Robson re-
sides, have in a spirit of defiance, put
him in nomination for seat in the same
body. There could be no political OBJ
lection to Gen. Whitthorne and his only
offence seems to have been the writing of
a silly but harmless letter to a correspon-
dent who fell out with him and betrayed
him by publishing it. Whitthorne is not
the first politician who has cut his throat
with Ben. The Convention adjourned
without making a nomination. 1t is a
free fight, and we hope Whitthorne will
yet pull through.

ously distribute $50 600 circulars at reSiden-

In subsequent article on the duty of
Democrats, the Patriot saws:

The fact must be realized that no political
party, however we'll defined and clearly I'M
derstood its principles by the people, can
succeed in working good TO the country If
its usages be ignored, or over-run by sore
head factionists, or by the misguided
judgement of portions OF its own party.
Without a rigid adherence to its recognized
usages in selecting and declaring its can
dates, such political party loses its power
for good to the country. Hence all well
regulated party organizations whose pur-
poses are to benefit the country and not to
advance personal interestAor pride of opin-
ion, have ever been careful to observe and
enforce the party usages as of equal import
ance to that of its principles.
In consequence of political differ
ences with the proprietor, Judge Martin
has Withdrawn from the Patriot, and the
paper supports the Greenback candidate
for Congress.

o. R friend Judge Martin of the Hous-
ton Patriot, is level headed as usual, on
the new party greenback movement. He
shows the suicidal folly of abandoning
the Democratic party 10 accomplish the
avowed objects of the Greenbackers, viz
to change the financial policy of the gov
eminent, rid it of the evils inflicted on
she country, by the Republican party as the
agent of the money power-and adds:
These outside refractory movements in
opposition to the Democratic party and its
candidates are the more inexcusable because
of the great promise of salvation to the
Government and the people through DEM
Ocratic administration of the Government
aud laws in the event that party shall obtain
control of both houses of Congress in the
coming election. 1t is well understood that
if that much desired result shall fail, the
failure will be produced by outside move
ments such as the (Greenback) club organ
ization above is in imitation. Let us hope
for full return of patriotism to the hearts
of our people sufficient to induce them TO
withdraw all opposition to the Democratic
party and its candidates. Let the Demo-
cratic crop. now of great promise, grow in
a full crop of relief to the people and of
glory and salvation to our government and
country.
