NASHVILLE, September lit
: very rare that a more moderate, i'm
pressive or statesmanlike addres
was ever delivered than that uttere,
by Senator Morgan to the Bate CluI
| in this city last Friday evening. 1T
clear analysis of our system of gov
ernment; its freedom from extrav
aganee or denunciation it's impair
tial dealing with the great questions
of the hour in such a manner that
neither of the Democratic factioni
in Tennessee could possibly take the
least offense, mark Senator Morgan
as one Of those statesmen whose
mind is broad enough to take the
whole country into it's embrace.
Surely no one who urges a national
view, no one who holds that the two
great parties of the country should
be fairly considered in the relations
they bear to each other and to the
whole country, but must applaud the
sublime utterances of the distin-
guished gentleman. And yet all
through this speech there was a
rational appeal to the head and q
sentimental appeal to the heart of
every Democrat to support the or
ganized Democracy, of which in this
State General Bate is the acknowl-
edged head = acknowledged even by
Senator Jackson himself. The Fus-
sell man who heard that splendid ad-
dress, and does not determine before
November to support the regular
nominee, must be callous and selfish
indeed. And Senator Morgan is but
the
REPRESENTATIVE OF NATIONAL DE-
AOCRACY.
At Troy Senator Harris asked his
colleague to name a SINGLE member
of Congress, from the lower house
to the Senate, who did not deplore
the June bolt and wish General Bate
success and the junior Senator
made no response. y,E
A few days ago one of Mr.. Fus-
sells more jealous than wise sup
porters being hedged about every
where in private discussion, roared

"My irate friend" replied /, "go
into Kentucky and you will find
10000 Democrats go thence all |
over the Union and you will find |
4 900, 900 other Democrats, each and |
every one of whom is supposed to |

of the whole what an i'm
mense number of fathers must have
been defeated for Secretaryship of |
the United States Senate, since they
are for General Bate and the regu-
lar organization in Tennessee almost, |
if not quite, to a man"
Senator Harris developed this |
fact. and Jackson dared not deny it.
Senator Morgan but represents the
great national Democratic party,
both in and out of Tennessee. He |
could not be otherwise than for
Bate, and it is very poor policy an d
bad manners for the Banner to be
sneering at him as it is doing.
The great speech of Senator Nor
gan left the RUSSELL men completely
1azed. He handled them so nicely,
20 adroitly, and such was his pur-
pose for why should he, except as
4 question Of right and party fealty,
care more for the one faction than
or the other? He paid a glowing
ribute to Stonewall jackson, that
yrandest type of the hero. He de-
,lared that his loss was felt from one
md of the South TO the other; that
twas his own zeal in the cause he
believed to be right
Twas his own genius gave the fatal blow,
nd helped to plant the wound that laid him low"
In his eagerness to confront and
onquer the enemy he had recklessly
,one beyond the lines, and, alas, was
lain by his own men! So in poll
les. Better to keep inside the or
anized lines than to rush in frenzy
f zeal in the direction of the enemy
nd be stricken down by friendly
lissle. And Senator Morgan meant
!; and was ever anything more
andsomely said? For there are
