The Republican Platform.

The Republican party Of the State of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, while reaf-
frming its devotion to the great principles
of the Republican party heretofore repeat
eddy declaI ed, yet with direct application TO
the present question at issue in our State at
fairs, do further declare:
/. That we are opposed TO reputation Of
any kind or by any means; that we favor
the payment Of all just liabilities of the State
according to the terms of her obligations;
except 30 far as the creditors may volunta-
rily concede more favor able terms; and that
the last Democratic Legislature, IN falling to
honestly adjust the bonded debt of the State,
showed themselves unworthy the Office Of
Legislators and unfit Representatives of an
honest people willing to do right and anx-
ious to avoid the crime of reputation.
We arraign the Democratic party Of the
State of Tennessee for its inconsistency and
recreAncy to public trust in failing to meet
the great question of the State liabilities
with frankness and honesty in its deelArs-
ton OF principles so called) as set forth at
its late convention.
8. Resolved, TT at we are ia favor Of the
strictest economy and most scrutinizing care
in the conduct Of our State affairs, and that
the present system Of allowing public ofiicerr
to retain the fees Of such offices over and
above q reasonable compensation for their
services is oppressive and unjust, and we
pledge ourselves to the enactment Of . law

cess of such fees over and abo' Q such reason
able compensation into the public treasury
4. That we arc IN favor OF a liberal system
of public schools TO be supported by general
State taxation adequate 10 the education of
all the children of the State believing that il
is an absolute necessity to the perpet0ity Of
republican institutions. Intelligence and good
government under a truly DEM cratic form
Of government 90 hand in hand, therefore
perfecting and perpetuating the common
school system Of the State upon . broad and
liberal basis, 10 the end that "a government

4. We are opposed TO the system Of leasing

with mechanics and other laboriDg men Of
the State, . system inaugurated and persist
emily maintained by the Democratic party
tsnding TO degrade labor and deprive the
toiling masses Of their just opportunity for

The Asiatic cholera has again APP
peared in Spain, and Is depopula-
ting the kingdom. Apprehensions
are entertained that it will again
visit America at no distant day.
We, hope that our authorities will
see TO it that Pulaski is ready to re-
-ceive it. 1t is the highest and hottest
duty of the towns officials to see
that the most rigid sanitary and
hygienic regulations are enforced.
The peop.e could be taxed for no
better purpose. No expenditure of
money could bring better returns.
1t is the wisest economy and the
highest wisdom to spend money
freely for this purpose, even though
no euldemics are waited upon the
soft breezes of summer. No man
would object to a good, heavy tax
for this special purpose. A thor
oughly clean, well drained and dis
infected town is not only exempt
from cholera and yellow fever, but
there are any breeding places for
other poisons, such as those which
produce diphtheria, intermittent,
and other malarial and infectious
fevers Let our present efficient,
industrious and popular Mayor i'm
mortalize his administration by IN
augurating a reform in our sanitary
regulations. Let us have an eff
cient, competent, industrious, fear
less officer to inspect private as
well as public premises, and enforce
these regulations.

Pretty and Young

The Democracy of Tennessee, foI
ten years, has been squarely and
uncompromisingly committed to
the Greenback movement, as the
following facts will show:
The Democratic convention, June
8, 1868, at Nashville, passed the
following resolution upon the cur
rency question, which was intro
duced by General John G. Brown,
Chairman of the Committee on Res
olutions:
"We declare that the five twenty
bonds should be paid in the same
currency received by the Govern
ment for their nse, and that, by the
withdrawal OF the money granted
to the national banks, we hold this
result can be accomplished without
an undue increase in paper money,
now the only circulating medium
and that by this means the people
cal somewhat be relieved of the
burden OF public debt, corrupting
and eDslaving in its character, ano
that IN this there is no infraction
of the public faith, nor violation ol
contract with the holders OF bonds.
On the 18th of September, 1870
the Democracy of Tennessee passed
the following resolution which was
introduced by the Hon. John +.
House, one of Tennessee's mosl
distinguished Democrats:
Resolved, That we are opposed
to the system of National Banks
and urge the immediate repeal OF
the law creating them; and that in
place of the notes OF the United
States should be substituted"
Gen. John G.. Brown in his al
dress to the voters of the State, Au
gust 10Th, 1870, while seeking &
nomination for Governor said:
The 20 bonds should and must
be paid in lawful currency of the
United States
1t is a well known fact that the
Democrats from Tennessee in Con
gress since 1870 have used thelr
best endeavors TO repeal the law au
thorizing National Banks and to
issue Treasury notes in place OF
said circulation, and withdraw the
800 bonds to that extent

His Looks Deceived Them.


A scene in court with a stupio
witness. A man has been caught
in the act of theft, and pleaded il
extenuation that he was drunk.
Il Court to the policeman, who was
witness )-"What did the man say
when you arrested him?"
SWitness-@He said that he was
drunk. zr-
Court-"I want his precise words
just as he uttered them; be didn',
use the pronoun he, did he? He
didn't say he was drunkY"
Witness-~0b, yes, he did-he
said he was drunk; he acknowledged
the corn"
Court (getting impatient at the
witness stupidity )-"You don't IN
derstand me at all; 1 want the
words as he uttered them; didn't he
say Il was drunkr"
Witness (deprecatingly) - ooh,
no, your honor. He didn't say you
were drunk; / wouldn't allow any
man to charge that upon you in my
presence.
Prosecutor-"Pshawl you don't
comprehend at all. His honor
means, did not the prisoner say to
you, Il was drunkr "
Witness (reflectively)-"Well, he
might have said you was drunk, but
l didn't hear him.
Attorney for the prisoner-"What
the court desires is to have you state
the prisoners own words, preserv-
ing the precise form of the pronoun
that he made use of in reply. Was
it tirst person 1, second person thou,
or the third person he, she or it?
Now then, sir with severity, upon
your oath, didn't my client say i
was drunAY
Witness getting mad -"No, he
didn't say yom was drunk, either, but
if he had l reckon he wouldn't
lied any. Do you suppose the poor
fellow will charge this whole court
with being drunkY'

IF YOU WANT A KISS TAKE n.

There's ajolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much like this,
That man is half in Heaven
w hen he has Woman's kiss.
But there's danger in delaying,
AID the sweetness may forsake it;
So tell you, bashful lover,
lfyou want kiss, why takeit.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this;
Never let laughing maiden
See You spelling for kiss.
There's royal way of kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it,
Have a motto that is winning;
lfyou want kiss, why take it.
Any fool may face cannon
Any body wear q crown
But man must win woman,
If he'd have her for his own
Would You have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it;
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon desert,
With forest smiling byl,
Who would give his sunny summer
For a bleak and wintry sky?
y, teDyo there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving $50.
Is to want kiss and-tSke is.

One of the leading heroines OF
the pestilence in Memphis, and one
who has spent her means and
bravely exposed her life as a nurse,
is Annie Cook, the keeper of a
bawdy house. She gave her money
and sold her jewelry to raise more
for the sufferers and turned her
house into a hospital, she presiding
as chief nurse. God will look with
a me-ciful eye on this outcast, as
He did on the unhappy woman
whom the Jews would have stoned.

I
Mr.. EDITOR That this heavei
favored region is all that its nam'
indicates, l steadfastly believe
but That it is indebted for its aromi
to the misnomer signed at the clos
of recent articles appearing in you
paper from this Valley, Is very ques
tionable. Monopolies have beer

with scriblomania, but | had rather
give him a dose than see him fall 8
victim to the dread disease.
"Ofman's first disobedience, and the fruit
OF that forbidden tree whose mortal taste,
Brought death into the world and all our woe
With loss of Eden, till one greater man
Restore US and regain the blissful seat"
sang in seraphic strains the sight
less poet of the olden time. But
that cowardly man should perch I'M
seen behind the 3rd of Genesis, in
which is found the sad story of our
woe and seek to shield himself from
the just responsibilities of life, in
blissful ignorance of the fact that
Paradise has been regained, is but
in keeping with his ironical utter
ance 1--WE are not partial to bachel-
ors." Indeed, Mr.. Editor, he may
truly sing,
"Of all the folks ever saw,
love yself the best"
That he should refer to the chap
ter before me is melancholy indeed.
From il we learn that Jessamine is
not the first individual who has
found himself in a condition to take
refuge behind Nom De Planes and
Fig Leaves to shield him from the
gaze of an angry God or delicate
woman. True, that chapter intro
duces us to a character in the LIST
verse with whom our aromatic
friend may claim kinship, and with
whom he may take sweet counsel,
but whatever else his Satanic maj
esty may transmit to him one thing
is certain, he never has handed
down to him that subtlety that
characterized him and the fair
bowers of blissful Eden. Jessa
mine, we know you. Your produc-
lions could only originate in
a bachelors den, where you have
fed for refuge from flowing curls
polonaise trails, and squalling ba-
bies. But my dear friend we fear
that you have misconstrued the 14th
verse of your own 3rd chapter, it
was not addressed to you but to the
serpent. But Jessamine doubtless
refers to that chapter, to-wit: The
lovelier sex with the part she took
in that sad scene where the Internal
spirit stirred up with envy and re
venge, deceived the mother OF man
kind. Now Jessamine ian honest
confession is good for the soul.
Will you be kind enough to tell us
in YOUR next budget of sweetness
whether this horrid disease has been
chronic with you from childhood or
is it a case of sour grapes" Now
then by-by until l hear from you.
OF course you will answer this then.
Take your Kitty puss and crossing
its paws vainly try to teach it "Now
lay me"-but oft in the Silly
night
Ere slumbers chains have bound thee,
Thou wilt strive in vain to send
with the voice of ventriloquist to
the cedars of Lebanon the plaintive
strain
"Darling, am growing old"
