AUDI ALTEREM PARTEM.

What greater evidence of the
weakness of their cause and the in
sincerity of their convictions could
the Readjuster party of Tennessee
give than their unprecedented re-
fusal to engage in joint discussion
of the questions at issue. The lead
ers for the most part refuse TO dis
cuss the questions jointly with their
opponents. and the masses, under
the lash of the bosses, refuse to at
tend the speakings. The Columbia
Herald speaking on this point says /:
The best way to difruse light and
disseminate knowledge upon ques-
tions affecting public interest is by
Joint discussion before the people
of the matters submitted for their
decision. This plan has always
been pursued in political contests
which have heretofore taken place
in this State. The Readjusters now
refuse to follow this tine-honored
custom, and decline to meet their
opponents in debate. Their posi-
tions cannot be successfully defend
ed by argument, and will not bear
the light of investigation, and when
understood by the people will not
be approved or sustained by them
hence their refusal.
True Democrats have always anC
still have faith in the justice and
honesty of the cause they spouse
and are willing and anxious to dis
cuss it with their opponents before
the people. Which course affords
the stronger assurance of homes
conviction of the right and best
commends itself to the good sense
and love of truth of an intelligen
and virtuous constituency? lie
the people consider and answer
They should view with suspicion
those who thus refuse them thi
means of enlightenment and prefe
darkness to light.

Col. @. II. Abernathy, the grand
old Nestor nf Montgomery county's
true Democracy, came next and was
received by his expectant audience
with loud applause. He said he

how heartily the crowd agreed with

was old and he must confess it did

must look little out of place to
those present; but he had left his

wanted office; he had had this same
position offered to him, when there
was no contest and an election was
an assured fact; it was no sordid

man who knew old Gil Alternately
would say that, for to-day as he
stood before them he would much

were solid substantial reasons why
this hurtful debt question ought tC

THE platform of June Goth de-
clares against the settlement of the
State debt, because it is not Sin &C.
cord with the views of the people, "
or in other words, the creditors OF
the State shall have no more of the
sum due them, than "the people"
shall direct. And TO this policy our
public men have committed them
selves, for almost without excep-
ton every one in Office, or aspiring
to office, has publicly given in his
adhesion to it.
Well, the County of Montgomery
owes more than $500, 900; the city of
ClarksvIlle more than 800, 900, all
in bonds issued as the States bonds
have been issued, by authority of a
legislative act. The people of the
State do not wish 10 pay the bonds
issued by the State. The people of
Montgomery County do not wish to
pay the bonds issued by the County:
the people of GAINESVILLE do not
wish to pay the bonds issued by the
City. And no policy that may be
adopted looking to their payment
is ''in accord with the views of the
people" Therefore none of these
bonds SHOULD be paid. If this rea-
soning be correct as to the State
debt, why not correct as to the debt
of the City and County? If the
credit and character of the State be
destroyed, what motive can we
have to save the credit and charge
ter of our City and County?
The State cannot be sued-cannot
be made to pay. The City and
can be sued, and can be
made to pay. That is about all the
difference-If this be not so, will
some OF our public men show where
the difference lies?

The National Democratic Con.
gressiOnal Committee of the 47th
Congress sends forth to the country
the following AS the sentiments OF
the National Democracy "Dem-
Ocracy is a sentiment not TO be ap-
palled, corrupted or compromised.
1t knows no baseness; it covers to
no danger; il Expresses no weak
ness ; it is destructive of despotism;
it IS the sole CONSERVATION of liberty,
labor and property; it is the senti-
ment of equal rights, of equal obi
cations, the very law Of Nature it.
self pervading tho land"
These are indeed the high and
lofty sentiments OF true DemOcra-
cy, but when one reflects that every
member of the Tennessee Congress
siOnal delegatiOn-with one noble
and bright exception, that of Hon.
Howell 4. JacksOn-is to-day advo-
eating the cause of the Readjusters
of Tennessee, by whom a portion of
the honest obligations of the State
are sought to be repudiated, he can
not but reflect how difficult it will
be to impress the truth of such sem
timents on the minds of the people
OF this country who are watching
with such deep interest the contest
Of right and justice with error and
wrong, in this State. 1t may rs well
be understood once for all, that so
long rs there is the slig htest faint
or shadow of Reputation in the
ranks Of Democracy, that party can
never get control of the GoNe<a-
ment. The present action of the
Tennessee Readjusters is deadly
blow to the early triumph of true
Democratic principles.

The Cattle of Holland.

The Dutch farmers have long been
famous as butter and cheese makers,
and the dairy cattle of Holland, especi-
ally of North Holland and Friesland,
have been regarded on the continent
of Europe as the best dairy cattle of
the world. They have been carefully
bred according to practical rules-not
according to our English or Anglo
American ideas altogether-but so that
we have a remarkable result before us,
in the best breed of Dutch cattle of the
present day.
The cows are black and white, of
the largest size, " big as Short. horns"
and admirably well formed as milk
producers. The Dutch COW usually
has a capacious pas,nch, a large udder
and teats, great branching, tortueus
nilk-veins, an " escutcheon I" of the
most favorable promise, and a general
preponderance of The digestive and
lactiferous parts, over the other por-
tons of the body.
Their milk is moderately rich, yield
ing excellent butter, but whi.e this
has not so positive and delicious a
flavor, nor such good color as that OF
the Channel Island cows, yet it is
firm, and has the reputation of keep
ing better than the butter of any other
of the pure breeds,
For cheese making, however, the
milk has no superior. This is supposed
to be owing 10 the fact that the butter
globules are, though not large, of a
very uniform size, and are easily
mixed thoroughly with the milk, be-
fore and at the time Of coagulation, or
curd forming. This gives the cheese
a uniformity of richness, In all its
parts, which is inherent in the init
mate texture of the curd, and which
does not depend upon subsequent
mixture.
Like other large breeds, these cows
require abundant feed, gen ly rolling
or level land, and do best on rich ,allu-
vial meadows, like those of their ma
tive Hollowland,' as Waring calls
In this respect, they are like the
with which noted race
one has a natural inclination to COM
pare them.
The Penn's Grove record., 1882-01-21

among them the cowboy, who shoots
him with his rife; the coyote and the
dog, that try to run him down, and
the Governor Of Texas above alluded
to, who libels him in his book. He
has two ways of protecting himself
against his enemies. One is to squat,
when he suspects danger, and folds
his ears along his sides. BY doing
this, be often escapes observation, as
only his back is exposed, the color of
which harmonizes with the brown
of the withered grass. The other
plan, which he uses when discovered
and pursued, is to create remoteness
between himself and his pursuer.
In giving his whole attention to this
matter, when necessary, he is a stupen-
deus success and earnest to a fault.
When disturbed, he unlimbers his
long legs, unfurls his ears, and goes
off with a bound. He generally stops,
after running about a hundred yards,
and looks back to see if his pursue is
enjoying the chase as much as he
thought he would, and then he leaves
for parts unknown. There are many
fast things, from an ice boat to "A note
maturing in the bank, but nothing to
equal the jack rabbit. An %unfounded
IN gets around pretty lively, but
could not keep up with him for two
blocks.
When an ordinary cur dog tries to
expedite a jaok.rabbit route, he makes
a humi iating failure of it. He only
gives the rabbit gentle exercise. The
latter only throws up his ears, and,
under easy sail, skins leisurely along,
lacking occasionally, to give the fune-
raj procession time to catch up. But
if you want to see velocity, urgent
speed and precipitated haste, you have
only to turn loose a greyhound in the
wake of a iack.rabbit. Pursued by n
greyhound, he will let himself out"
in a name that would as'onish a
prepaid half-ra!e message.
If he Is a rabbit that has never had
any experience with a greyhound
before, he will start off at an easy
pace, but as he turns to wink, deri-
sively, at what he supposes TO be an
ordinary yellow dog, be realizes that
there is a force ia nature hitherto I'M
known to him, and his look of aston
ishment, alarm and disgust, as he
furls his cars, and promptly declines
the nomination, is amusing. Under
such circumstances, he goes too fast
for the eye to follow his movements,
and presents the optical illusion OF a
streak of jack-rabbit, a mile and a
half long.

DR.. Hollands First Poem.

The first article of mine that ever
saw the light, was a little poem Of four
stanzas, entitled James Tree" A
little lad, son of the late Judge Dewey,
of Massachusetts,, stuck a willow twig
into the ground of his fathers garden
which took root after the of
such twigs, and grew into a tree. The
boy lived long enough to call this tree
his own, and to C its protection
as such, and then he died. After his
death / wrote the poem, and it was
published in the Youths Companion,
a publication still prosperous.
1 was then seventeen years old, and
that was forty-four years ago. l took
the printed copy, containing it, from
the post-ohce, peeped within, and then
walked home on air. / shall, prob
ably, never be so Accordingly happy as
l was then. Earth has nothing like it
earth never had anything like it.
for me. I have eel my work in type,
since then, until / am tired at the
sight of it; but / a never forget the
great joy of that occasion.
Smith College, in Northampton,
now stands on the site of the old
Dewey place, and when they cleared
things away for the new buildings,
they found an old gnarled willow-tree.
On learning the history of the tree,
and the nature of my own association
with it, President Seelye had a book
rack, elegantly mounted, made of it,
and sent it to me. OF course it vas in
stalled among my household gods.
