CLIMATIC AND RACIAL DIVISIONS.

The signs OF a climatic division began with the
timid cultivation Of cotton In the Mississippi Ter
ritory before the close OF the eighteenth century
but II was many years before the significance Of
this lowland farming began to appear. At COM
prehens!ve glance II is seen that the men who
conquered the-West dep1oyed unconsciously on a
magnificent scale like a band Of skrmlshers from
the comparatively narrow front OF the mountain
region out Of which they issued. AS they pressed
onward to the Great River which they looked
upon for many years as the boundary OF their
ambition, they spread to north and south until
the irregular line OF cabins and block houses and
villages and forts stretched all the way from the
lakes to the verge OF the hill country which over
looked the fertile lowlands OF the Gulf From the
southernmost point the line trended eastward
overlooking the etrongholds Of the Cherokees and
Creeks. WHO formed the first line Of the Spanish
defence against the American advance. That
north and south skirmish line, by curious CO.
Incidence. followed for a number CT years the
trend Of the ancient geological formation which
stretches from Knoxville to Lake Erie. The de-
caysd corals of Delaware County Ohio, and the
triturated trobites OF the Cincinnati hills were
mute witnesses OF the same kind Of conflict as the
one in which they had themselves been defeated.
The conquering race had come. -.-... .,~trl
y Meanwhile the army behind this long skirmish
hfre- was very detective organism. The pioneers
themselves were moving forward as individuals
or as separate groups without anything like unity
OF conscious purpose. What gave their movement
unity was the training of generations past along
the old war frif of the Indian tribes IN the noun
tains. They had Still the same kind of fighting
to do that their fathers had done But when they
pressed against the borders OF the land claimed
by the half-civilized Creeks and Cherokees. and
far north felt the impact of a savage confederacy
formed by British influence. they naturally looked
for help from the States. and particularly. from
the neeShDrn National Government, .They were
not disaeeo!nted IN the optspme, but they had
plenty OF time to srdnible before help came No.

oring for help. Could those fellows with ieather
leggings and coonskin caps be turned INTO citizens
under the brand new Constitution? the Feoer-
sllst had his doubts. The Jeffersonian fepuoh-

that every pioneer In spite OF his manifest interest
In a strong national government became De'ho-

theory which ended in secession. 1t Is plain no"
that he fought a great deal better than he voted

the Federalat party was too small for the couh-
try which it dominated.

ISLANDERS ON A FAIR STATE.
DEMOCRATS OF TENNESSEE RI

Hhey Accuse the Republicans of

the Resolutions.
Nashville Tenn Nov A.-At meeting
of prominent democrats to-day, the fol-
loving resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
'"The good name of Tennessee has been
mostly foully aspersed by repeated publ
cations in the New York papers, especial
" the New York Post, the New York Sun.
the Mail and Express and other papers, and
by publications emanating from men in
high positions like J. Sterling Morton, Sec
rotary of the Department Of Agriculture,
and which charges have been widely cir
culated In all parts of the United States,
10 the effect that the democratic party in
Tennessee has perpetrated wholesale
frauds in the late election. Believing these
charges to be groundless, and feeling keen
Nv the indignity, and realizing that such
charges must be based on information fur
nished by Tennessee republicans, more
concerned about their own pledges to carry
the state in consideration of money ad-
vanced, than they were about the good
name of the state, we win not silently and
with a craven spirit submit to the insult.
The good name of Tennessee is dear to u.s.
and there never was stain cast upon her
x,roud escutcheon until the republican par
ty conceived the thought of changing her
politics by the use of money.
Feeling, as citizens of Tennessee, that
the SANDER is doubly grievous, because
of the shame and disgrace put upon the
state by the unprecedented use of money
10 defeat the democratic party in the late
election, and that in all probability the
men who used the money sent here to buy
up the state are the very men who are
now the originators of this whole SANDER,
therefore. as citizens of Tennessee, though
the state is put on the defensive by those
vile SANDERS which have been so widely
circulated, we shall insist that the good
people of the state. especially the demo-
cratic party, assume the aggressive; and
we demand that the republican party shall
make good its threat to contest the cleo
ton of Hon r. L. Taylor to the office or
governor or stand convicted at the bar OF
slandering the good name of the state.
Should that party demand an investiga-
tion in accordance with law, it will give
the opportunity for judicial comparison
of the relative fairness of the two parties
in elections in this state, and it will ena-
BILE us by proper proceeding to expose in
all its hideousness the vast sums of money
drawn from abroad to corrupe the ballot
box of Tennessee.
1--WE denounce as UNANIMOUSLY false the
wholesale character Of the charges
brouht against the integrity of the late
election in this state, though the unpara
lelled use of money by the republicans
in the attempt 70 buy the result undoubt-
edly made it the most corrupt election
ever held in this state.
