we have the charity of silence, and
ask the same in ret urn, not doubt
ing that there is blame at our own
door, also.
To those noble men, and their
names are many, who stood by US
TO the end, we have heart full Of
the sweetest gratitude and hand
with pressure IS soft woman's
love.
If there be any who have fallen
out with US by the way, we urge
them to try US once more, in our
new pathway; and they may find
we have learned to profit by exper-
fence, and have grown wiser and
better as we have gro own older.
Hereafter, THE REPUBLICAN and
the WHIG & CHRONICLE will be
consolidated and published as one
paper, under the name of the Re-
PUBLICAN CHRONICLE.
The two papers have ceasedi to
fight each other and have been
united in political wedlock. We
invite the friends of both to the
wedding feast. No man need put
any oil in his lamp for we have a
lamp that will shine for all-pro-
Sided our friends will supply the
oil.
No cards were issued, as the high
contracting parties desired the GER
emony to be as private as possible.
But wedding presents from the
friends of both parties, in the shape
of subscriptions and advertise
ments, will be entirely in order,
and, we hope, entirely fashionable.
THE REPUBLICAN takes the sur
name of the CHRONICLE, and may,
therefore, be considered the bride;
but nevertheless she did the court
ing, and, in consideration of the
dover, the groom, blushingly, &C.
cepted.
The "happy pair" will be found at
the groom's Office, where they hope
to receive their friends, their con-
CALCULATIONS and the presents afore-
said. HENRY r. GIBSON,

POLL-TAX QUALIFICATIONS.

Over 100,000 white men were not
able to vote at the late election in
Virginia because they had not paid
their poll tax. Politicians are now
agitating in favor of repeating the
tax, arguing that it is an incentive to
bribery, by tempting rich candidates
for Office to pay the poll-tax of poor
men. Governor Long and Gov,
ernor-elect Butler, of Massachusetts,
where the same system exists, have
expressed their disapproval of it.
New York Tribune.
1t is not generally known, but is
nevertheless true, that the Constitu-
ton Of Tennessee provides that
leach voter shall give to the judges
of election, where he offers to vote,
satisfactory evidence that he has
paid the poll taxes assessed against
him for such preceding period as the
Legislature shall prescribe, and at
such time as may be prescribed by
law; without which his vote cannot
be received
The Legislature of 1869,'70 passed
an act enforcing said provision, but
it was subsequently repealed
All such laws tend to in.
crease political corruption, and
to degrade the right of suffrage

purchasable privilege of voting.

MORE DEMOCRATIC LAUNDERING
PROPOSED.

A number of Tennessee Demo-
ratio journal are advocating reap
portionment of the State by the new
Tennessee Legislature. This is
demanded because of the fact that
the last Legislature gerrymandered
the Senatorial and Pictorial districts
of East Tennessee in the interest of
the Republican party.-Bristol Re-
porter, (Dem.)
The Stiffness of such babble would
be incredible did we not see it in
print.
The last Legislature was Demo-
cratic, and the charge that it redis>
tricted EAST Tennessee in the
interest of the Republican," is a
direct assault upon the wisdom,
integrity and good faith of the
Democratic majority.
Nobody ever heard of a second
redistricting within ten years, and
the Constitution of the State makes
no provision for such action.
A few Democrats, made drunk by
the wine of victory, are ready to en-
gage in any sort of political excess
that promises to give them one Office
more.
This is the same spirit oil
revolution that seeks to de,
prive Mississippi Chalmers of his
seat, and to keep Louisiana Kellogg
out of Congress.
If it were not for such fanatical
revolutionists and such incendiary
anarchists, the Democratic Party
would have had a President before
this.
The Democrats ought to establish
a political Lunatic Asylum, anG
should hasten to confne in it all O.
these fanatics and hot heads; for, as
long as they are allowed to run a
large, SO long will the Republican,
use them as mere raw-heads> and
bloody~bones to terrify the timit
into voting for the party of law anG
order.

A parting that ends with meeting,
4 meeting that ends with wedding,
A wedding that ends with greeting,
a greetiog that ends with ink-shed-
ding
This will be the last issue of THE
REPUBLICAN,. 49,
We write these words with some
regret.
The REPUBLICAN was founded
under circumstances well known.
What Of good it has accomplished
we look on with pride; what of evil
it has done We contemplate with
regret.
TIE career Of no man is one of
unmixed good. The best of men
commit errors by the multitude.
There is none that doeth good, no,
not one" The very sun, that en-
blem of brightness, hath its spots.
We, therefore, are not 80 pre-
sumptious as to imagine that THE
REPUBLICAN has committed no
errors. Looking backward over its
pathway, we SEE many things we
would have otherwise. We have
said things we ought not TO have
said, and have left unssid things we
ought to have said.
But with all our errors, we have
ever endeavored to prefer princi-
pies to parties and parties to per-
sons. In the discussion of princi.
pies we have striven to use the
nobIest weapon and to convince
and win rather than insult and
destroy. In the discussion of par
ties we have chung to Republican
ism as Ruth to Naomi, saying ever
"Entreat me not to leave thee, o.
to return from following after thee
for whittier thou goest, l will go
and where thou lodgest, / vii
lodge: thy people shall be my PEG
pie, and thy God my God: where
thou diest, VIII Gle, anu eheIe WI
[ be- buriedw
In the discussions of persons we
have hit and been hit; we have
struck with feeble arm and yet witt
aIlour power; we have been battered
by heavy artillery but have yet NO
been destroyed. We have faced
every foeman and measured swords
with every assailant; not without
fear, but without cowardice; no
without occasional defeats, but yet
we hope, without ever being dis
graced.
For those who fought US as the
representative of principles we hav'
the highest respect; for those VIII
fought US for less worthy reason

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing aboEst
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver CONF
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this by commencing

OF providing an armament suited to our
present necessities, has been the subject of
consideration by board, whose report was
transmitted to Congress at the last session.

the War Department has taken no steps
