PARTY FIDELITY,

There is a great deal being said just
now in regard to party loyalty by the
Pettibone Faction throughout the entire
District. Persuasions and promises Of
Post offices, Postal Clerkships and posi-
tions in the Revenue Department at
Knoxville have assumed aoOR0eJla pro-
portions and make up the common con
versation OF his leading henchmen. And
1t is astonishing to see how earnestly they
plead with the defrauded people to sup.
port Pettibone, eoea fer tie sahe Of has
party! And, Why's Because they feel
theiT inability to trick and cheat the
people any further They feel the sting
of the wrong and fraud perpetrated up
on the Republicans of the lst District in
the Jones hoFo' Convention. They know
the final issue is just ahead and that the
voters will have voice in rebuking
that ererLGstiHg Shame! Hence, the earn
est and mournful appeals for every body
to stand true ia The party. And that is
Just what we intend to do. We contend
that the D1O1ity of the honest people
constitute the great Republican party.
We know that this majority were out
ragged, defrauded and cheated out of
their candidate and refused in the Con-
vention the privilege of expressing their
political sentiments.

politiccI parties have other reason of being

The first of these objects has been triumphantly

The second political object for which THEWoRLD

AethOdists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
United Brethren, DunkarGs and Luther
ans belong to the Republican party. All
denominations are represented in it. If
they are genuine Christians they labor
and pray for the extlrpation of all evil
and especially the suppression of liquor
drinking. They regard intemperance
as the most dangerous weapon which
the Devil employs. Now, can they con-
sistently, in the face of their professions
of morality and piety support a candi-
date for Office who not only drinks him
self, but invites and entices others to do
so. On the day of the Jonesboro' Con-
vcntion, petty Bone not only frequented
the doggeries himself, but took numbers
into these saloons and treated them,
seme OF whom drank to beastly intoxi-
cation. If after this disgraceful exhi-
bition petty-Bone can get the undivided
support of the Republican party. it de-
serves defeat and will get it sooner or
later. If after this gross indecency, Re
publicans, who have preached us tenn
perance sermons as long as the Moral
Law, vote for Shacknasty of the Glaring
Eye and Roaring voice, we can have but
little respect for and confidence in their
professions of moral uprightness and
Christian virtue. If he can be elected
there is no longer any earthly motive
for politician In this District leading
moral, honest, sober and religious life.

-irginia Why not? Our

in Virginia? Why not? Our
soil is just as productive as theirs,
if not more so. Our resources are
greater. Nature ha- bestowed more
gifts upon Tennessee than Virginia.
We suffered less loss of property by
the war than Virginia. We admit
that four mill tax, or forty cents
on each hundred dollars worth of
property, is something of burden,
but ifany man gets into debt it is a
burden for him to pay. But if he IS
honest he is willing to bear the bur-
den. To plead poverty is only to
cover up dishonesty with falsehood,
and we know that the people of the
Old Volunteer State are too proud
and too virtuous to place themselves
in any such an attitude.
What plea can we make then !?
As above remarked, the compro~
mise covers all the equities we can
ask. Foolish partisans claim that
the State ought not to pay the
"Brownlow bonds" but according
to Gov. Porter's statement made
some time ago, there are only a lit
tie more than S3,OOO,OO0 of these
out, and the compromise offered de-
ducts over 100000 from the
whole debt. a child can see there
is nothing in that.
Then, there is no excuse which
will satisfy the conscience of honest
Tennesseeans, or honest men
elsewhere, why we should not pay
debt contracted to build our mag
State House, our elegant
asylums for the insane and the
deaf and dumb, our peni-
Tertiary and our railroads,
which bonds We, by special legisla-
ton, induced guardians to take for
their wards and widows for their
Satherless children, as we'll as capt.
.alists for investment. We made
the world believe that we were hon
EST, and that we would meet our
honest obligations and keep our
VOWS. To this end we pledged the
,aith and honor of the people of the
whole State of Tennessee, and when
re fail to comply with our promises,
We deserve to forfeit, and will for
cit the confidence Of the whole
world. Judging the people by the
politicians, as Gov. Porter has evil
IDENTIFY done, there is a strong ten
lency in this direction, but we trust
and believe that 1t is "a mistake.
We will continue to believe so until
We are forced to believe otherwise.

WHAT EXCUSE COULD WE
OFFER?

Ii Gov. Porter should, as it is
reported he will, recommend to the
incoming Legislature to compromise
the State debt at sixty cents On the
dollar, with four per cent. interest,
or fifty cents with six per cent. in
te~cst, we do not doubt the correct
ness of his motives. We believe
that he is a true friend of State
credit. The fact that he submits such
Z proposition, however, shows the
grayityofthe situation. He has doubt
less studied public sentiment in the
State as reflected by leading poll
ticians of the party in power. 1t
has appeared to US for some time
past that a majority of that class
were perfectly willing to sae the
State disgraced by reputation. In
tie general scramble for power, they
seem utterly lost to every principle
of honor or honesty, with
few exceptions. They made them
selves felt at the last Democratic
State Conversion, and prevented
any bold or manly expression on
this great question. Those who
were in favor of an honest, straight
forward declaration were in the
minority, and platform was adopt
ed Of which honest men in the party
were ashamed, but few were found
bold enough to denounce it. 1t was
q compromise affair, a document
that might, with the aid of a little
partisOn prejudice, be construed to
suit the views of any one whose
views were not well established and
grounded on honest principle.
But after all this, VIC will not
believe that majority of the peo-
pie Of Tennessee are in favor of re-
pudiation in any form, until
we are forced to believe
it. We believe the people
arc honest, and that they will not
avoid the payment Of debt with>
out some just cause. We believe
that the compromise offered by
those who have claims against the
State is liberal, and that it en-
braces all the equities we can lay
claim to. What excuse then can be |
offered for refusing to accept it ? |
Can we plead poverty Any such
plea is false and we can not con-
vince an impartial world that such |
is not the case. We can pay the
interest on our bonds, on the basis
which has been proposed by large
proportion of the bondholders, with
a tax no greater than is paid by
three-fourths of the States in the
Union. Are we not able to pay as
large a State tax as our neighbors

Tie DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accuratenesS, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation Of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, We commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continu, to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained.
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue TO avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the fulure we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following
