Much space In the Bolter organ
is devoted to the augmentation OF
Gen. Bates course upon the propo-
sition to sandwich him between
Beasley, Hawkins and Russell.
That these organs should set up the
usual yawp, which follows an at
tempt to take a false position, and
force a false conclusion therefrom, is
not at all surprising to those who
have had an opportunity to observe
their course and direction. The
Banner fairly shakes and shivers
nnder its cloud of canvass rs its
spreads sail after sail in the vain
hope that some breeze may give it
n little speed, and each one fails to
catch the wind. The american
starts its supposed pOnderous weight
in motion to crush something by
far-fetched and obscure complaints.
The whole unvarnished and naked
truth is that the only hope the Boil
tiers and their allies had Of getting a
respectable number of citizens out
to hear their candidates, lay in hav-
ing Gen. Bate 10 accompany them
for the purpose of affOrding an at
traction. Beasley has tried his
best IN the west and could not draw,
consequently he is not an attraction.
RUSSELL and Hawkins with Beasley
thrown in can never expect any
thing more than a corporal's guard
to listen to them, and this refusal on
the part of Gen. Bate to 90 with
them and furnish them material to
talk and blow to, was a perfect
crusher. Hence all manner of slurs
and innuendOes appear in these re-
spective journals, rejecting in all
possible ways upon Gen. Bate In
the most fallacious hope that by
these means that he can be stung to
the quick, and while in the heat
some arrangements may be made by
which the Boilers and their allies
may be spared a beggarly array of
when they all start upon
their tilt against Democracy. The
Banner is so far gone upon this
is so very keen and
anxious that its candidate may get
with the sight of a crowd
that it calculates just how long each
may speak before he and
the others will exhaust the day as
well as the patince Of the hearers.
Does the Banner not see that when
Beasley and RUSSELL have |
spoken their speeches should count |
rs one, since they are all made |
against Bate. What sort of arith-
metic does that journal study when
It proposed with startling GOODNESS
10 have these three worthless take
three hours and forty-five minutes
against Bate and Democracy, and
give him one hour and fifteen min
ltes in which to respond. The Ban
1er calls that equality, and with the
anxious longing for an opportunity

ONT debate. Gen. Bate proposes
o fight the Republican leader and
rot to be hampered in his time by

The Nashville correspondent OF
the CoUrier-J0HrRdI says: brother
Beasley, the infidel, will soon find
his few friends deserting HIM, just
as the sober, sensible men will de-
sert Col. Russell. That wide-awake
and able journal, the Carthage
(Tehn.) Clarion, has just dug up an
old. letter written by John X. Beas-
lev, and published i'm the Courier
journal of December I, 1869. In
this letter he lays down ten propo-
sitions, and challenges all the preach
ers in the United States to meet him
in debate. He denies that there is
any immaterial being in existence !;
he denies the Holy Trinity he de-
mics that the Gospel is preached in
any Catholic, Protestant, Baptist,
Cambellite or Jewish church,
declaration which implies that the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Con-
gregational churches are not Pro-
testant churches. He denies that
any man has an immortal soul de-
MES that there is an external hell of
concious misery; denies that God
''is such a demon as the doctrine of
eternal suffering in hell-tire. and
birthstone represents him to be.
OF course this implies q denial OF
future rewards and punishments,
without an orthodox belief inwhich
no one, under the constitution of
Tennessee, can take the oath of
Office and be an Office holder. This
cuts Mr.. Beasley out, and shows
what has been declared all along
that the race is between Gen. Bate
and Gov. Hawkins. Sensible Green
hackers will not throw their votes
away. Mr.. Beasley is, therefore,
ineligible, and could not take his
seat if elected. And no sensible
temperance advocate will vote for
Mr.. RUSSELL after his weak promise
to place himself across the pros
perity of the State"
