by your Legislature and mine and
signed by your Governor and mine,
and this attempt to annui 1t was
but the readjuster's scheme as prac-
ticed by Malone in Virginia. The
debt was being settled every day,
after struggle of twelve years, and
the action of the followers of Gen.
Bate deserved the same .condemna-
tion that had been visited upon the
readjusters of Virginia. Such ac-
tion leads inevitably to reputation,
and Tennessee, the volunteer State,
the home of three Presidents and of
numerous statesmen who had made
her name familiar wherever the
English language is spoken, would
undoubtedly be classed in that un-
enviable list. These great men
who had gone to their graves -enun-
ciated the principles which declared
for the maintenance of public faith
and were they with us to-day they
would stand by those enunciations.
Democracy is preparing for the
coming national contest, let us be
numbered with that party and help
to redeem this country.
Col. Bailey read from the Courier
Journal of dates prior to the June
convention two editorials in which
its editor took high grounds for
State credit, and contrasted them
with recent utterances from that
sheet. He said the very day he
took his stand on this question he
was falsified, by its editor as man
who would sacrifice his country for
selfish ends.

nent secretaries Me- Jrs. Campbell
