How to Stop Your Paper.

An exchange gets off the following good
advice:
elf the 'enraGsd subscriber who rusbes
into newspaper Office to tell the editor 10
stop his paper only knew how outraseously
silly he appears in the eyes of the publisher.
he would send the message by bow. and
instruct the boy to keep very quite about i.
too. Just imagine man who habituaIIy
buys five cents worth of tobacco weekly.
rushing into the grocer's, red as a lobster.
frothing at the mouth, etc., and saying to
him with great concern, Il won't buy nv 5
CENTS worth of tobacco in your darned store
any more-I won't-I won't-because l
found nail in the last and it hurt in tons
der place J The grocer does not sit down on
soap box and cry his eyes GU, for the loss
of such a customer; aud the publisher treats
the offended subscriber with the same indif.
ference, SO that all the rage and venom
which some men carry with them when the y
call to stop their paper, only betray a dom
keys nature. If person does not wish o
read newspaper longer he should have it
stopped with as little ceremony as possible,
because no publisher under the sun woul d
exchange the profit of five cents week for
the charming exhibition of cranky human
nature which the angry subscriber displays
In a newspaper Office, when his spine is
arched.

THE Bate PLATFORM.

The political situation in Tennes-
see is one well calculated to excite
the gravest apprchensions in the
minds OF all who have at heart the
success and-what is Of far more
worth--the integrity Of the Demo-
cratic party.
4 convention has met and adopt
ed q platform of principles, and
has said: "thcsc arc the princi-
pies upon which the Democratic
party must stand; these are the
principles which commend that
party to the support and confidence
of the people of Tennessee"
But, it is a fact as palpablc as it
is significant and ominous, that an
overwhelming mai prity of the
Democrats Of Tennessee, State
credit and Low-tax in the exercise
of their individual prerogativc, de-
cline TO endorse the platform adopt
cd by the Convention, and say that
the principles enunciatcd in that
platform are not Democratic prin-
ciplcs and will not received as such,
1t is a fact which cannot be ig-
Inored that thousands of Democrats
will refuse to support the nomi-
nee of tie Convention, for the rca-
son that to support the nominee
would be to endorse the platform
of which he is the exponent
pledged to do all in his power to
to carry out its provisions.
1t is also a fact that there will
not be a Democratic candidate for
the Legislature in the State who
will undertake to stand with Gen
eral Bate in upholding the provis-
ions of which he is the champion.
This is a sad state of affairs, and
we oan only see defeat, hopeless and
inevitable defeat, staring the Pc
mocracy in the face.
We had hoped that something
might be done which would enable
all Democrats to heartily unite and
march to victory.
We still hope, although we may
be hoping against hope, that somc-
thing may yet be done which will
relieve the situation of its dangers
and give some assurance of Demo-
cratic succcss,-Murfrecsboro News.

NAILS CREEK,
EnfrnRs DEMOCRAT:

Oull q lSC@'
EDITORS DEMOCRAT:
Feeling a conviction that some Cat
lcasO of your many readers would
like to hear from the Greek, we sub
nit the following; Mary went over
the mountain at the Dupes Gap a
few days ago, and ii rained that day
and consequently has raincd several
DAYS since, causing the weeds and
grass to get ahead Of many Of the
farmers, and in some causing them
to loose the last working entirely ;
but while these pests are fresh and
green. the corn is also looking cx-
ceedingly well. Very little thrcsh-
ing done yet, but what has been
done shows a better yield of straw
than grain. The oat crop was al
most a failure in this neighborhood
except a few fields Of winter oats,
Notwithstanding the wet season..
Our citizens are very sanguine over
the bright prospect of a boom i'll the
Porter Academy high school. We
have a corps of teachers who would
do credit to a college, and they will
have that all essential element--the
cooperation of the citizens and pat
rons. "See their advertisement in
this paper"
MARRIED-On Monday eve, 81
inst, by our popular j. p, Robert
Porter, Mr.. j. Houston Shaver to
Miss Isabella Roddy, Miss Roddy
was reared in Knox county, but
moved TO Arkansas with her brother,
Preston Roddy, a few years since.
Not finding any such men out in
Kackumsack as Nails Creek affords,
she returned to the home of her
youth to make her selection. She
reached Knoxville on the ii o'clock
train Saturday night, where Mr..
Shaver, her brother Columbus and
friend were waiting to welcome her
and convey her to this part of the
vineyard, where they were united as
as soon as the necessary papers could
be obtained. Only think of it if she
had been two days later it would
probably all have been over before
She arrived, and then! Still another:
On Thursday, 9th inst, Mr.. Elem.
Maze, Jr., to Miss Mollie Burnett,
both of the Greek. Elem. gave as an
excuse for marrying just when he
did that his corn was so deep i'll
weeds that he never could get it out
alone. But kind readers, ye mothers
who have marriagable daughters,
don't let these two littlo marriages
turn the tide Of your immigration
from the Creek. As the monarch of
the forest, the mighty oaks that have
stood the storms of many winters, so
stand we with extended arms and
outstretched hands to welcome you
we offer you, as we have thousands
before you, unincumbered hearts and
hands.
Signed,
BRIG. Jr., TeM. J. W., and
SOLOMON SIFAX,
all of the Creek.

Marshall Gazette: We might 80 ana
undertake 10 show wherein onr opln-
ion, the Convention made nlstakes, but
we do not presume 10 set up our oplh--
ion against the judgment Of several
hundred intelligent men.
Franklin Review and Journal: De-
spite the howl of reputation that has
been uttered for the last decade against
Tennesseans, they met in convention
and made an offer Of settlement, full OF
honesty, full of justice, and full of con-
cessi0n and compromise.
Lynchburg Sentinel: As to the plat
form it is different from what we could
have wished, still ii is the result OF
much labor on the part of the ConYen-
ton and shows Il desire on the part of
Democracy to do the fair thing, both to
the State and the bondholders,
Union City Our Country: A Demo
cratic platform is an cnunciation of the
principles upon which the Democratic
party appeal for support. Looking at
it from Il standpoint, will some one tell
ua what living Democratic principle is
embodied In the Bate platform?
Columbia Herald: The platform
adopted by the joint Convention is sub
iect to serious objections, 1t is our great
desire to see the Democratic party
united, and we hope something may be
done In the convention TO meet the llth
of July, that will yet bring the party
together. In this hope we wait until
after the 1lth of July.
Rogersville Spectator: While the
platform adopted at Nashville was not
in some respects what we had hoped it
would be and what we would have had
it had we have had our wishes carried
out, yet we recognize the voice of the
vas tmajority which spoke there against
the sOundness of her views as the de-
cision of the people of the State, and
we cannot raise any factions and impo-
tent opposition.
Shelbyville Gazette: AS to the
party platform as whole, we do not
think it will receive very hearty
endorsement.
Jackson Dispatch: 1t is not our
purpose to criticise the platform at
present. The State debt really is
not a Democratic qucstien.-~-e-,
Pulaski Citizen; Though we ex-
pcct to support the party-as the best
thing we can do-there are several
things we would have eliminated.
Jackson Whig: There are certain
features in the late Democratic plat
form that do not accord with our
views or wishes, and yet, being ST.
mon-pure Democrats, we yield TO the
voice Of the majority,
Wilson County News: The plat
form is a compromise of the two
Democratic theories on the State
debt question, and comes as near
meeting public expectation as was
possible under the circumstances.
Monroe Democrat: The platform
of the Democratic party is the result
of the aggregated wisdom Of the
party assembled in convention. We
accept it, and we do not presume to
set up our opinion against the judg-
mcnt Of several hundred intelligent
men.

4 Sensible View.

An Eastern paper has the following
practical view in regard to Kidding our
selves of the Chinese: "Thc Chinese
flock to the Pacific States for employ
ment. They do not rush there for the
pleasure of living in California Or to en-
jov themselves at leisure. There would,
therefore, seem to be 4 very simple
remedy for an Asiatic invasion. The
people have only to resolve not to en-
pIoy them under any circumstances, or
t. hold any commercial intercourse
with them, to make them return to
their native land, the highest aspiration
Of the adventurous pigtails. The mat
ter is 50 completely in the hands of the
whites that it is surprising they have
not before this organized Chinese non

pealing to Congress for non-immigra-
