THE NASHVILLE AMERICAN.
American and Standard for 50.

This faithful and unvavering advocate OF
Democratic principles, views the result OF
the late National and State elections, as only
an additional incentive to every sincere
lover of his country and its institutions, to
look more closely than ever, into the admin
israiion OF the public affairs by the people,
servants, 1t will be the province of the
American to approve right and denOunce
error as heretofore, and TO give the people
such Information as will lead them to cor.
rect conclusions. The facts il will give will
be without bias, upon which its readers can
form their own opinions. Time and the re-
curence al popular elections show that a
very large portion of the voters of the Tn.
ion act from the impulse OF the moment,
rather than from settled convictions in re.
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for the use of
public journals to obtain juSter and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This the American will endeavor with the
utmost pains to supply.
The American will continue the well
Known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State and Nation
al, aud it will strive to deserve what it al
ready enjoys, the name of being tht best
newspaper south OF the Ohio river, regard
less OF politics or location.

Fort Gibson, in the Cherokee nation,
a point about fifty miles west of Fort
Smith, was the scene of a horrible
tragedy on Sunday. The Creek and
Cherokee Indians were having a
barbecue preparatory to naming their
candidates for the ensuing election
next month. Whisky flowed freely.
Two full bloOded Indians-Bill Low
EFT and Deer Track, became drunk
and in their frenzy made an onslaught
on some of the party. Several men
we're killed and mortally wounded.
The murderers are at large and no
efforts are being made to arrest them

Hanging of Smith.
CoRINTH, July 15.-Henry S. Smith
who killed James Burt in april, 1880,
four miles north of huntsville, Miss,
was hanged here this afternoon.
Smith, who had been confined in Jail
at Tupelo, Miss, was brought to
Corinth Saturday, at 1890 P. NJ. A
guard of twenty-five men, armed
with shotguns, conducted the prisoner
from the Jail to the gallows, where
fully five thousand people had assem-
bled. Smith assembled the scaffold,
read several chapters from the Bible
aloud. Ministers sang hymns and
prayed, after which the black cap was
adjusted. Before having his hands
tied Smith raised the black cap and

rope. Smiths neck was broken by
the fall, and he died almost without a
struggle. The body, after hanging
twenty minutes, was cut down and
buried by the authorities. The muir
of Burt was most cold FLOODED he
and Smith were comrades, journeying
to Tennessee, when, without cause, so
far as is known, Smith struck him
with an AK several blows, then threw
his body into a stream. He made his
escape, but was captured shortly
afterwards at West Point. Miss, and

reward of public confidence, founded
on the honesty and intelligence of the

We have no objections to our friend
following the bent Of his inclination,
we contend, with the same right he
does, against us, that he has no right
under the sun to read us in or out of
any party. We claim to bea Democrat,

doctrines Of State Sovereignty on Of
slare,y. We have our opinions now
on those questions, and they cannot
be changed. 1fDemocracy means a
continuation of the struggle for these
things, then we do not understand the
tenets of the party. If it does not,
we submit the following as our opin-
ion of what it should struggle for.
(For further particulars see our plat
torm.)
Gen. Cosgrove coolly makes the
startling statement, that though he
carried a musket in the Confederate
army, he never yielded to the PERM
cious doctrines Of State Sovereignty and
slaveyy.
What an admission There was
CosgrOve, against his CONVICTIONS
volunteer Confederate soldier
shooting down the Union boys in
blue
Wen now explain our Democracy
and let our readers endorse it or Cos
groves:
unsupported heart and soul the
Confederate cause, for which we
fought, and believed tia righteous
one.
When the c onfederacy went down,
we understood that the right of Sc
cession and slavery ,rere dead.
We believe though, that, while the
States have, by the decision Of arms,
lost the right of secession, all the
other sovereign rights Of a State under
the constitution still remain, for the
very men who had fought for the
preservation of the Union, such as
Hancock and 0thers-with the entire
Democratic party of the North--h have
stood shoulder to shoulder with the
people of the South Oh that issue.
On platform is the one which the
Democratic party in Convention as
sembled, issues from time to time.
And the Democratic platform,
which is ours, is not in accord with
Cosgrove's.
Hence we can't see how our friend
Cosgrove will do to get along COM
fortably in the Democratic wigwam.
Gen. Gosgroye has been a true sol
der and was an eloquent and daring
supporter Of the Democratic party in
the days that tried mems souls. His
advice was listened to and followed
much by the people of a large section
OF the country. For this reason dc
we feel that his startling utteranceS
should not be allowed to pass unno.

Cosgroye's anh-States' rights doc
trincs place him in a Democracy that
has never been and never will be
ours
Whenever the Democratic party
accepts such doctrines, it will soun(
| it's death-knell and the end of the
Republic contemplated by the framcr
of the American constitution.
If Gen. Cosgrove wants to remai1
in accord with the Democracy, h
must cease to sap at the foundation
of the pillars of it's temple-Stat
Sovereignty.

Writing on the subject of the South,
the Boston Commercial Advertiser
has the following: "Again Is the
South solid,' but this time in a way
to persuade the American people that
they are not divided in their sympa-
thies, or in their love for the republic
and it's institutions by any sectional
lines. In this hour of trial and afflic-
ton there has been no manifestation
of grief more profound, no express
sion of sympathy more genuine, than
that which has come from the South
ern States. After all, in baptism by
such suffering great sonls are deyel-
oped, and, we believe that after the
shock of this calamity is over the
American people will be united in
closer bonds than ever before

Nine States and Tho Tcrrltorg of Dnltota
Present the most Marked Improvement.
Chicago Intcr-Occan.
Within the last few years the term
northwest, as applied to the group of
states naturally tributary to Chicago,has
acquired new Significance. The cir
cnrnstances of trade and progress, not
the convenience Of gcographers, nor the
impulse of sectional feeling, made the
new division and gave to it distinct
and marked individuality. The mate.
rial and political progress of the states of
Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Mlsuon-
sin. and the territory of Dakota, making
mp the northwest group, bears the sa.ae
relation to the progress ol tie othcr
groups or divisions Of states rs Ciica:o
does to the other cities OF tile country.
The northwest in spirit, plucl, aa'! e.
en.erprsels more like Chi u3o thIn Ne'
York and Philadelphia arr ike the mid
die states, or st. Louis like the south
western states. The progress of the sec
tion considered as a section is rrmarin-
BILE when measured by the decade. and
phenomenal when measured by the last
year. the progress for the decade takes
in the extraordinary additions to the
farm land under cultivation, the cumu,a.
tive movement that has trSusiurmcd
naked prairie farms into table
homes lprosperous surroundings, the
growth of manufacturing interests, and
the increase in industrial communities in
such proximity to farming regions as to
make permanent home demand for pro-
ducts, and the tremendous strides made
in the extension OF railroads and the inn
provcment of railroad facilities.
The progress for the last year is mark
cd by the increased business activity in
all towns and cities, and by the results
of substanstial improvement in all in
dustrial callings. The northwest IS no
longer given mp to specialties. IT it not
simply Il great wheat producing, or a
corn producing country; great cattle
or hog growing section: but great ag-
ricultural and manufacturing district,
with producing and industrial tendencies
evened down to that symmetrical line Of
activity most conductive to rapid and
wholesome progress. This fact is appar-
ent when the states are examined MS !,
whole, and IS the more significant when
the towns and cities and the contiguous
districts are taken up in detail.
OF the D,152.554 people in the thirty.
eight states, nine territories, and one
district of the United States, the nine
states and one territory making M the
northwest have 12,1Si,6G4. OF the in.
crease of 1l,594,lS3 in the last decade
3,550,254, or more than one-third. is in
the northwestern states. In each Of these
states the increase, as will be seen by

The significant fact in this showing is
that states having in 1870 less than one
fifth OF the population of the country,
aud in 1880 less than one-iourth, yet rep
resent one-third OF the increase in the
population OF the whole country.
O the Sl,7l5 miles of railroad in the
United States in 1879, the nine north

states contain $40 miles, or nearly as
many miles as were built in all the other
states and territories. OF the 81 .GGt

naturally tributary to Chicago have 3d.
