“TUBS A til) SOW.”
Under this caption wo find many edito
rials from Radical pens, the intent of
which is to shew up inconsistency on the
part of the Democratic press in their opin
ions of General Grant then, i. e. at the
time of the surrender of the armies, and
now. i c thut ho is a candidate for the
Presidency. If tlieir man, the great Gen
eral, (?) the immortal U. S (?) couid
show a clean record fur truthfulness and
consistency, then we grant to these hyper
. critics the right to censure. But in the
face of tho great fact that Grant, who then
of all northern men was most con
servative, is now a candidate upon the
Radical platform, pledged to the very pol
icy that three years ng-> he stood up to
protect tho people of the surrendered
Ftates against, we deny tlieir right to
condemn and throw their charges hark
upon thorn and their candidate as alone
worthy of censure in the premises. It is
very strange that a man who, two years
ago, because of his silence, was by two
thirds of the Radical journals believed a
Democrat, should now he so consistent (?)
a Radical; more strange it is that the very
.journals that now lauds him to tlie skies,
twelve mouths ago grew indigo: ut at the
hare idea of his becoming their candidate;
stranger still it would he if the parties
who accepted ids pron.b'es at surrender,
. aud whe believed in him because of his
conservative tendency, should not con
demn ami oppose him now that he has
somersaulted into the lap of Radicalism,
aud forgotten the promises he unde
Away with this talk about then and now;
make your man a man before you con

remove the Lcntn from thine own eye, and
then thou const see clearly the mote that

Thank you. Col., for your kindly

■our ability to do justice to the place

our want of capacity where there are
so many able pens to fling the fiery in
vective and inflict the cutting sarcasm ;
but. “still there are follies even for us
to chose," aud right willingly will wo
hunt tuein. The Augean stable of
Radical ordure is to be cleansed, and
the foul Harpies driven in flight to
where their deceitful voices shall he

arc to be elevated, and the sneaks and
skulks aired, and when the tn»k of
purging' the Stale is accomplished,
there are a thousand pleasing offices to
be performed. Wo want to do our
port as well ns we cau.
A littic story is going the rounds
of the Radical press to the great delight oi;
the friends of the military President that :
is to be. It seems that Grant was enter
talcing a party of gentlemen, when the
conversation turned upon the doing-of the!
Chicago Convention. ‘‘By the way, says
the hero, ‘‘1 must write a letter of accept
ance." Taking a pon. the enthusiasts say
he wrote rapidly for awhile, signed, hand
ed it to his staff that they might read, cor
rected one mistake, the only one made,
and all this iu ten minutes. Great tnau (?)
we think any ordinary school boy might
Lave written that letter, or a better one,
Ln teu minutes without having doue any- j
thiu;' to boast of.

\OT SO mm THE NAME AS
THE IMISNC Il’I.E.
The editor of Uie White (ifiunty Record
iti his issue of the 13th inst., cntehsn pro
test against us among others, for adhering
too closely, as he thinks, to the name ol \
Democracy.” That wo may be clearly
under toed in what we have to, say, wc
will give the whole ol his article:
"Not that we wish to cavil about the I
proper name that the opposite party to
Radicalism ought to assume, do we cntci
protest against some of oar papers, among!
then: the Pcs Arc Citizen, insisting upon
retaining "Democracy” as its watchword ;
| We have always been a Democrat, True. •
| we only voted once, and that was for
j Breckinridge and Lane—yet, wc cannot
i sec why wo ought to stick to old names
when new issues are daily springing up. j
New disc, ses require new remedies— j
new medicines, or at least new compounds j
Thus it is with parties. We are having
issues now. that look more in unison with
the bugle note “Conservative,” than
“Democrat.”
Times always alter circumstance; and
the present times require that wc should
have some rallying word, to which all op
posed to Radicalism could readily and
willingly answer and do work* at its bid
ding.
Moke tlnn once have we heard the re-1
mark by good old Whigs, that they would
feel far more comfortable,, if the Demo
cratic party had some other name.*
For the sake of having unswerving har
mony in our ranks, and out of respect to
thos who belonged to the gojd old, Wlyg
party, it would seam in fe|y good taste it'
"Conservative” were adopted, instead of
“Democrat” .*

j government that parties assume such
thorough antagonism lo each other that it
is hardly possible to take anything like
middle ground upon any of the issues at
at stake, without being deemed a traitor ,
to the side espoused. Objections must be j
overcome in the fight for more important ;
results. So far as concerns us, wo are
totally indifferent as to what name shall1
be given the party—Conservative, i'em
cratic, or any other that has any signiti- ,
cance whatever, so that the proper issues ■
and principles arc connected with it. We
are not stickling for a name, or the mere
success of a party, but are laboring for (lie |
1 cause of right, truth and justice. Polities
being so near a profession with us, as a
people, and party lines so closely drawn,
we may not at our pleasure take issue on i
such a question ns to w hat name we shall
be known lit-. Kxpeciall* is it so with us
of the South. The war, for awhile, oblit
erated all the old party linos and distinc
tions. and left the administration and its
opposition as the only parties, the old
Democratic party forming the principal
part of the opposition and variously
known as the Conservative, the Copper
head. or the Democratic party. Wc now
find the Democratic party of the North
the only one organized in opposition to1
the Republican party, and capable of de
feating its attempts at destroying Slate
lines and centralizing all power in a led
oral head. Wo must be content to tfd.c
the issues as wc find them, for we have
no power to influence anything else if wc
attempted it. k is hardly possible that
we will be permitted to perform anything'
of ourselves in the approaching contest,
independent of what aid and comfort we '
can give our friends. Our cause is in the
keeping of the great Democratic party of
1 the North, ambit will be won or lost by
' it this fall north of Mason and Dixon's'
. line. The hail e rests wiili :hcm. Shorn
' as we now are, ol all political privileges.
I we cannot consistently make any demands
: upon the party. Hut in the event we do,
participate in tbe election, wc can see no,
reason why an old Whig may not as con
j sistently vote with the Democratic partv
as with one called Conservative, if the
principles governing them be the same
No niHn would certainly allow the bare
■ prejudice of a name to betray him into
; opposition to what he thought was right
None should keep faith with their patty ,
to that extent Resides, the Whig parly
is dead, and no attempt is being made, or
probably ever will be male to resurrect it
again. No man oti'dit to "feel uneom-1
furtable," or be ashamed t be found in
(be ranks of the Democratic party. Its

people of the South, and when the time

sistent effort to regain their lost liberties. I
We want to see uni u and harmony,
among those who arc opposing Utidicalism
that they may have strength to overthrow
the conspirators before the government is

Father Young originated in one of tli

would gain nothing by reorganising or

1 responded “how arc you going to help
j yourself?”
They were honest also and meant
well." Hut as they have fully tried
their plan of resistance and signally

fixed fact." and the ascendancy of their
party will be insured for many years.
Their object i- to fortify themseves
against the conseijuruees of a revolu
tion in Hu- public smitiment of the
country. If a democratic president
and a democratic house of representa
tives should he chosen next fall, they
fancy their negro policy nil! never
theless be safe against subversion, by
reason of their assured control of the
- ante for the ensuing four or six
years. If the negro .Slates should all
be admit! I with their new constitu
tions, tlo rc will be an addition ol
twenty radical members to a senate in
which the parly has already a majority
of nearly lour tonne. The senate, at
pi ■ -out, .stands lortv three republicans
to i ven democrat's. If the ten iltn
eanized states ale admitted before (hi
- ssjon rinses ,- the senate will bo com
po-aid o! si\ty-threc republicans to
eleven democrats ; and the great length
ol tin senatorial tenon will keep the
senate republican until after the presi
dent; il election of 1*72. even if all the
elections in every part of the country
1 should meanwhile he carried by the
democrats. The republicans are there
fore planning to make the senate the
citadel o: their strength, lly their
certain control of one branch of con
gress they expect to prevent the repeal
I oi the partisan legislation of the htsl
two y e.rs. since no law can 1)C repeal
ed without the concurrence of the
senate. They accordingly suppose
that, in spite o't the mutations of party
politic, the it -.instruction laws will
stand, and if a demo ratio president is
elected this year, the tcniirc-of-offlce
act will he kept in force, and (Jen.
(iraitt continued to supervise the
military orders of hi* commander-in
chief.
The bulwark which seems to its con
structors so solid and impregnable is
really verv frail True the reconstruc
tion cannot be repealed without tbe
concurrence of the senate, but uncon
stitutional laws need no repeal. They
arc completely abi gated from the mo
ment that the supreme t'ourt adjudges
them repugnant to tiie constitution.
It is well known that the supreme
court regards the reconstruction acts
ns uuroiisiitiitioual. and would have
^ |l| vMMMl'irni • II l Ml Ml 111 llll- .HI ' <11 till
1 case, it tint decision hml not been post
polled until the i>< xt term ol'the court.
' It the democrats elect the now prcsi
' dent in November, flic judges will
have courage enough to meet the ques
tion in Deccnibi’r which they lately
evaded iiy postpoi.U'ieut. A decision
on the reconstruction nets by the su
preme court u i.i tie oven better than a
repci! ol them by congress. The
imuies” preponderance of the republi
j cans in the senate will go for nothing
in the support ol -puriou- laws which
I violate the constitution. The same re
mark will apply to the teuure-of-oificc
law, and the law which virtually
divests the president of the command
! <n the army, (totli are certain to be
declared void as soon as they ran he
brought to the judicial notice of the
siiprejnc court. The republicans are
there fore acting under a hallucination
in supposing that they can prevent the
repeal of their partisan la ws by strengt li
ming their majority in the senate.
1 lie condition imposed upon Arkan
- • in the hill passed yesterday, that
the negroes shall never be deprived of
tin' sutlVa is perfectly nugatory.
Not only me the reconstruction laws
iimoustiiuii.mil, and certain to lie
judicially declared so, hut tlie condi
tion here imposed is equally a viola
tion ol the constitution. The people
ot Arkai -a- and the other states w ill
-o regard it, and will refuse to he
hound by it. With a democratic sen
ile and house, how can the republican
senate enforce the condition? If mil
itary coercion were removed, the negro
governments would not stand a month
in any ol the states. V republican
senate t aunoi make appropriations for
maintaining armh - to support the new
governments, nor has it any authority
to compel a democratic president to
enforce laws which the supreme court
will i vc adjudged void for ropug
uaiice to the constitution. We eou
c inle therefore that lids desperate
i!U‘i to secure a permanent ascen
dency in tin >.mate, will beofnoulti
i (hint, e to the republican party.

Andrew Johnson.
Every Democrat in Tennessee, every
lover of the Constitution nnd liberty,
every enemy to despotism, tyranny and
j usurpation is a warm friend to Andrew
■ Johnson. If there was a remote possl
I bilitv of hi*- nomination for the f’rrsi
I dency and his election thereafter, there
would be some sense In urging his
' claims. Put those who love President
i Johnson more than they do principles,
j who care more for men than they do
j for measures, seem to be actuated by
!a vindictive malignity and dptermlns
: lion to propagated w illful falsehoods
I against those who honestly believe
j tiiat the Southern States, shorn of their
I liberties and without voire at the bal
| lot box. with no hope of giving a sin
' gle State to tlie nominee, ought to leave
the ta«k of selecting the eondldate tc
thoso who can vote nnd elect the nom
inee. The Democrats who entertain
I liese views are as good friends to Pres
ident Johnson as those who cavort and
splutter in his behalf, for some splits!
purposes, and with no regard to the
interest and harmony of the party.—
During the last three years we hevi
written fifty columns exalting and de
fending Andrew Johnson, and because
We three months ngo opposed an ex
preseion for any aspirant, because wt
; could not give a vote for the nominee,
! and liecause we could not do vio
lienee to our consciences and the best
interests of the Democracy, ergo, wt
. are an enemy to Andrew Johnson! an
j ingrate who lias deserted the man that
! has taken enrr of ns ! I5e it so! Sue!
1 slanders and injustice cannot drive in
I from our duty >o the democratic party
! and, ns time unfolds his hidden myster
j ies, it will be seen that while dema
i cogues and aspirants arc toadinc
1 around the footstool of power, and
wandering off toward the rising sun
| we will be true to him whose political
; career is run, and whose sun is set.—
V\’e will still tell the world that thf
I real cause of the rupture In tween Pres
ident Johnson and congress, was lib
j refusal to make himseli a party tr
j the foul scheme to radicalize the poli
lies ol me >011111 ana to onungc me na
! lure and eliaraeter of the Government
! Had he consented to abandon the plar
I of reconstruction originated by Mr
Lincoln, approved by the Itepublicai
party and accepted by himself as tin
best solnt on of (lie most qrxed ques
lion in our recent politics; could h<
! liavo stooped to the casencss of aban
i doning his ■ convictions, of violating
Ids otlicial oath and betraying hisooun
I try, lie might easily have stood confess
rd the Lucifer of the darling hosts ol
(lie Radicals. Tint amid the foul defer
(ion of ids late political associates anc
party leaders, he stood true to tin
' Constitution and the country. Am
| for this fidelity 10 oath and to duty, tin
' whole party, both in and out of Con
'■ gross, turned upon him and have madi
i the land resonant, from that day t(
this, with charges of treason and infa
nious efforts of impeachment. Histo
ry will yet do Andrew Johnson iustici
we can tell his self-constituted riiampi
ons that long after they have desertei
him and wandered off after pelf am
po w rr. we will still lie found do fend ill)
the name and fume of Andrew Jolinsoi
and according to him due praise for hi
sublime and heroic constancy.— Mom
