Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1879-06-21

IN his speech at Washington, a
few days ago, Gen. Ewing, Demo-
critic candidate for Governor OF
Ohio, gave utterance to the follow
ing plain, impressive and patriotic
language:
The people of Ohio have too much
patriotism and enlightened self
interest to consent that sectional
strife shall be protracted ten years
after all the settlements of the war
have been accepted and acquiesced
in everywhere throughout the coun-
try. The demand that this settle
ment having been accepted, pros
perity and concord shall return
hand in hand and above all, Ohio,
the first born of the struggles of our
Revolutionary sires, aCiU ReUer sab
NIT to surrender to any party the lib
critics that lcere meant for mankind.

THE Courier-Journal is still at
lacking Mr.. Thurman, and in
double loaded columns at that. His
grounds of attack are that Mr..
Thurman did not at once close with
the proposal to nominate him as
Governor of Ohio, and rush into
the canvass before the nomination
is made or the convention held.
We do not pretend to be esotericaIly
informed of the counsels OF the
Democratic leaders in Ohio, and we
should esteem it a misfortune to
the party and the whole country if
Mr.. Thurman's inestimable servi-
ces i'm the United States Senate
should be withdrawn to meet any
party exigency that we can divine.
But however this may be, it is with
pain and wonder that we see the
Courier-Journal taking daily steps
to abdicate its grand position as
leader of the Democratic party in
the Southwest and degenerating
from Democratic authority into a
mere Tilden organ. It's course can
neither injure Mr.. Thurman nor
benefit Mr.. Tilden, but it can and
does deprive the Courier-Journal OF
the last fragment of the influence il
once held in the party.

a CoIorod MAN on the Ohio Ticket.


Among the delegates to the late
Ohio Democratic Convention was a
colOred man named Andrew Jack
son Dawson, a full-blOoded black,
and a man Of fine presence. In
seconding the nomination of Gen.
Rice for Lieutenant-G Governor, Mr..
Dawson made the following speech,
one of the best talks made during
the meeting:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of
the Committee: | arise to endorse
the nomination of a man whom
regard as brave and gallant gen.
tleman-a man who had the patri-
otism and the bravery to go to the
front to fight the battles of his coun-
try. / endorse the nomination of
Gen. Rice. Nominate him, and the
cOlOred men from Lake Erie to the
Ohio river, across our whole broad
State, will be with the Democracy.
Gen. Rice went out and risked his
life and left his good right leg in
battle, while the nominee of the
other party Skulked in the rear,
specializing off his country. The
Republicans are fond of reminding
the cOlOred men that they are free.
Yes, thanks to Gen. Stedman, Gen.
Rice, Gen. Ewing and scores of
other brave soldiers, we are free
| free to vote for whom we please ;
and l say to this august assembly
that the colored men prefer to vote
for man who served his country
in the front to the man who served
| his party in the rear.

The Lenoir IN. Co. Topic tells OF
the attempted suicide of Mr.. Robert

old, residing in Mulberry. He
mounted a ladder which he had
placed against the house the even

says; "The Postmaster-GeneraI is

sary. The mail-coach robbers for a

cupation. They did rob the
mail pouches on the unoccupied

nothing. People don't send money

partial human sanity, and the Post

good service.

THE New York World says the
concern of the country at large in
the ''negrO exodus" is simply the
loss which that exodus may infifct
upon the cultivation or gathering of
the growing crops. The reports
now make it quite certain, we are
glad to say, that no loss worth reck-
Oning has so far been done to the
cotton crop. The sugar crop in
Louisiana is not grown in the region
reported to be affected by the flight
of the negroes. If, therefore, the
press reports from the Southwest
are as trustworthy as they seem to
be impartial, the exodus has really
effected nothing at all, and the
agents in the Northern States who
are commissioned to magnify it for
political effect have not succeeded
in doing the mischief to every hon
est interest in the land which thew
designed TO do, and they may be
safely left to fall out and tell the
truth about each other, after the
manner of Republican politicians in
the South, political witnesses from
Louisiana and the like,

resigns If there is a majority against
him in the House Of Commons.
Again, the distribution of Execu-
tive power among the States is
principle which has weakened with
every war we have had. 1t re-
ceived a heavy blow in Jackson's
time during the South Carolina
troubles, but a much heavier one in
the termination of our late civil
war; the Republican party being
able to argue as if the failure to
establish the right of secession was
condemnation of all State privi-
1eges.
These measures now under con-
trOversy, which place all supervis-
ion of elections in the hands of
partisans appointed by the Presi-
dent, are the mode in which the
Executive asserts It's yet unheard of
power, and unless repealed will be
the death-blow of all State preroga-
tive, and with that the Executive
entertainments will become COM
plete and irresistible. The present
extra session has failed in repeating
them; the next effort viii be made
before the people; if that fails, then
the Executive will become perma-
nently predominant over the legis.
lative power; it will control the
legislative; it viii control those who
elect both the executive and legis.
lative. And what then? A com
plete autocratic despotism will have
been established, only removable

ing living in the South, but they
are not likely to find that growing
wheat and corn in Kansas is a bit

Hon. r. NJ. Lasher, Superintendent
of Public Education in Louisiana,
that should the Constitutional Con-

will give a fatal blow to the public

mote education in building up q

system, we take no share in the
work of destruction. Besides, it
will leave US with no responsible
