AT BRISTOL, ION THE LINE. >

On Monday next, the 18th inst,
the brave young leader of the sky
blue, true pure Democracy will en-
ter upon the regular campaign with
Hawkins and Beasley, at Bristol,
Tenn. Bristol is in Sullivan coun-
ty, away up on the Virginia line.
What splendid vantage ground
for the representative of honest
Democratic principles to meet the
advocate of Republicanism and the
leader Of error and wrong. Oh,
would that RUSSELL could face the
exponents Of these two undemoerat-
ie parties there on Monday. What
copld he not say to them?
To the one: "How dare you
stand mere before this people and
claim honesty and consistency for
your party when just a few steps
there across the line that party's
record is stained and blaekened
with an unholy alliance with the
enemies of public credit.n
To the other; ".With what con-
sistcncy and pretense of honor can
you come before this people and
ask them 10 lend their aid and sup
port to further cause, the first aim
aud intent of which is to do the
very same wrong you have so ear
nestly and rightfully condemned in
others. You proclaimed against
those who allied themselves with
Malone over there in poor, unfort-
innate Virginia, condemned them
as regulators of public obligations,
now here you are asking these good
people 10 ala you in policy that
will inevitably lead to the same
end ?n
And there would stand, proud
and erect, upon platform sound
and consistent, the gallant young
standard bearer of the only true,
simou-pure, logical, always con-
sistent and eternal Democracy and
wait for an answer which would
never come But then Bate will
not meet Russell at Bristol ION the
line.n

a MkAN INSULATION.

We regret the fact that some OF
the Readjuster organs, in their des-
perate attempts to break the force
of the brave struggle that the true
Democracy is engaged in to uphold
a good and lawful settlement of our
State debt and thereby preserve the
good name and financial credit of
Tennessee, have abandoned fair
argument and see tit to indulge in
low and wantOn insinuations against
the personal integrity OF some OF
the candidates of our party,
The Nashville Banner in noticing
the recent speech of Mr.. Rhodes in
defense of his course in the Legis-
lature takes occasion TO allude to
these cowardly innuendOes. 1t says /:
1--WE publish below the speech of
Mr.. Rhodes, OF Montgomery, as we
find it in the GAINESVILLE CHRON-
ICLE. Some OF the Bate organs
have seen fit to report the fact that
Mr.. Rhodes had received pecuniary
aid. He had declined positively on
the ground that he Was not able to
make the race consistently with his
duties. Friends came toward and
rendered him assistance, as friends
do other young men in politics and
elsewhere. Because of the mean
insinuations made, we think his
speech Il good one to print. 1t is SO
clearly from an honest man and
sincere man with noble impulse,
that the very ring of it is the ring
of true metal, We have nothing
to say against his Egyptian opp0-
nent, Mr.. Milliken, bat that he will
lind his match in Rhodes.H

ocracy are in the wrong In The sup
port of MIR. Russell, then Gen. Bate
ought to be willing to meet Mr..
Russell, and show the people, face
to face with his competitor, that the
principles advocated by him are
wrong and damaging to the best in
terests of the State and her people.
Surely the best way to diminish
the strength of Mr.. RUSSELL is to
meet his supporters in manly, court
eous debate and convince them of
their wrong. a one-sided discus
sion is rarely effective. "One tale
is good until another is toldn is a
honely adage, but founded on good
sense and based on this belief is
the Tennessee habit OF demanding
that both "tales" shall be told be-
fore judgment is entered. If Gen.
Bate is the Ajax Of debate that he
is claimed TO be he surely should
not shrink from debate with "a
man who has never been heard of Il
mile beyond the smoke of his own
chimney" II this excuse for re-
fusIng to meet Mr.. RUSSELL was his
only reason, and it shall be regarded
as good one, then it fought to apply
to all of his lieutenants. But We
see it stated in the papers that Sen
ator Harris proposes TO make q list
Of appointments, and to challenge
I Senator Jackson or ex-senator Bal
| ley. Now if Gen. Bate cannot af-
ford a Joint debate with Mr.. russell
"because he is a bolter," how can
so distinguished "A man as Senator
Harris be so understanding. If
! Senator Harris shall extend this
challenge, as his friends announce,
1t will be without doubt accepted,
and this will at least afford pOr-
ton of the people the opportunity
they desire, of having a discussion
of the merits of the platforms of the
opposing wings of Democracy. That
Gen. Bate does not desire TO give
the people light on the issues that
unfortunately divide us is the pain
full conviction of all right-minded
men,
But the Readjusters say Beasley
and RUSSELL and Hawkins "are allies
and co-conspirators." Now this is
Il serious charge and implies much.
If it be true, then ought not the
chivalrOus standard-bearer of rea1-
justerism meet these "allies and
cOnspirators," face to face, and be-
fore the people, and expose their
evil designs and tear off their masks
to their utter confusion and his
great glory. This would seem to
Old-fashiOned people the true way
to meet such ii combination, instead
of flocking off by himself and fill
ing the air with charges he has not
the true manliness to make before
their face. Such a spectacle as
Bates refusal to meet his cOmpetit-
orS, face to face, has not been seen
in Tennessee politics in many
year, and it only serves 10 prove
the desperate state of readjusterism
in Tennessee politics. Mr.. Russell
will uphold the banner of Democ-
racy against the assaults of Green
backism and Republicanism, and
we can only regret that he cannot
meet, face to face, the champion OF
Readjusterism. Democracy must
not be disturbed about the results,
for in him we have a champion
able and clear-headed, knight
without fear or reproach.

A letter from James Raimey the

me. 1t was pleasant reading TO be
reminded that was not forgotten
by many on southside, for whom I
toiled and prayed four most de-
lightful years, and to hear that
there We're those who Contemplated
meeting me in better world.
What a meeting. What meet
ing, that viii be % Some have
passed over, and many of us may
be near the inargin. Bro. Stephens

Southsiders. Those people always

ply take TO new men because they
are new, but when one is sent to
them they put their arms around

Any politics over your way I?

much as possible, but l expect to
avail myself of the opportunity of
voting against the Whisky ring.
My theory has eyer been that the
Church and State were the proper
agencies to restore inebriates and
crush out whisky. l cannot say
that it was wisest to put the temper

plank afoat, and swing to that

other measures, and talk about
tricks and stratagems, but l cannot
turn my back upon the four-mile
plank. How can any christian
man do so? As to the State debt,
subject with which l do not ned
die, hear that the mathematiciaas
have decided that one Democratic
platform is about as cheap as the
other.
Will you allow me to say word
for Granville's School? Many of
your readers know him as an i'm
