Th« New York Tribune and
General Forrest.
The Mew York Tribune, commenting
on the statement* lately made by Gen.
Forreet to a newspaper oorresjxindeut,
and iu Ins testimony before the Congres
sional Kn-Klux Committee, indulges iu a
strain of detraction little calculated to
advance the peace and quiet of the coun
try, which Mr. Greeley professes to have
■o much at heart Such attacks upon the
credit of every man who does not testify
in support of Greeley’s crazy notions that
the Southern States are overrun by dis
guised men, who whip or murder every
man, white and black, who does notagrec
with them on political questions, will
never tend to establish good feeling l>e-
tween the different sections of the coun
try.
The Tribune says: “By all the rules of
civilized warfare, and by the law of the
land, Mr. Forrest lias no right to the bead
ont of which these brazen falschooda is
sue. He is not a creditable witnoss on
any case of treason or negro-killing; and
if, as reported, a committee of Congress
has sent for him to give evidence in those
matters, the committee has been led
thoughtlessly into a grave error." And
again: “If he has any convictions of du
ty, they would touch him to conceal the
truth and assert ita opposite, in any deal
ings with the government of the United
Staten.”
It is simply nonsense and balderdash
to talk, at this time of day, about Mr.
Forrest having “no right to his head.’’—
It ia the fact, and no one knows it bettor
than the editor of the Tribune, that if “by
the rules of civilized warfare and the laws
of the land.” Jefferson Uuvis aud other
“rebel leaders" could have been oonvict-
cd, they would have shared the ignomiu-
ioni doom of Wirz and Mrs. Surratt.—
Those unfortuDnte victims were murdered
to appease the cry for blood, on charges
trumped up for the occasion, and “on
testimony which would not have convict
ed a sheep-killing dog," but with all its
vindictiveness, the Government well
knew that tho execution of the Confed
erate leaders would bo a violation of “the
rules of civilized wurfare and of the laws"
of nations, which even the best Govern
ment the world evor saw, oould not afford
to commit. Therefore, it concluded to
act “magnanimiously!”
And Mr. Forrest is not a creditable
witness, forsooth! The character of Gen
eral Forrest ss a hruve, high-minded and
honorable gentleman, needs no defence
from us in any community where be is
known; nor do we think his character for
truth need be defendod among honorublu
men anywhere. He cannot afford to lio
even if his moral constitution would per
mit it. He has nothing to gain, and ev
erything to Ioono by such a course. But
he has “convictions of duty” to a higher
Power than even the Government of tho
United (States, and those convictions, his
conscience will not permit him to violate.
Against the testimony of General Forrest
and the score or more of honorable men
who corroborate him, and some witnesses
of its own party the Tribune can adduce
nothing but tho lying statements of a few
partisan and subsidized newspapers, and
the testimony of worthless men, like
Laken and others of the same stripe, who
moke their statements for their own ad
vancement and reward. And tho eourso
of the “maguouimiuus" government has
given these wretches a right to expect to
be rewarded. Bergen and .Settle and
Warner, and many others wo might name,
have boon rewarded for just such “servi
ces to the government”
The Tribune Buys the Committee lias
committed a grave error iu cuUiug For
rest, aud such os he to testify. In one
view they have. If the Committee intend
to cany oat tho reat object for which it
was raised, to-wit: to furnish further
ground on which to intimidate, worry
and harass the Houthcru people into vot
ing Radicals into office, or not voting at
all, they committed an error, and a grave
one, in calling iu Forrest and Clanton
and others, who, like them, will toll the
whole truth. But if tho Committee in
tend to accomplish ita ostensible purpose,
of ascertaining and reporting tho true
condition of idfairs iu tho Bomb wo think
they are right not to couffno their inves
tigation to the statements of unscrupu
lous and interested adventurers. When
the whole truth, aud nothing but the
truth shall becomo known and fully be
lieved, we may have quiet and good feel
ing throughout the country aud not be
fore. While credence is given to such
articles as that from the 7 ribtnie, urous
ing and keeping alive feelings of indig
nation in both sections, neither cordiality
orquiet oan be expected.

From the Wert Cheater Jeffersonian, July 8th.
The lovvav Democracy.
The late Democratic .State Convention
of Iowa, passed resolutions favoring tho
“New Departure. ” They were certainly
the beat prepared and least objectionable
of any we have yet seen, but the party iu
that State averse to any "departure" from
principle—unwilling to bo sold out to the
negroes and their allies by selfish politi
cians, have cnlle.1 another convention for
the purpose of placing the Democracy of
the State in its true position before the
country.
This is right, aud must meet the ap
proval of every true Demoornt. This is
the oourse we suggested should be pur
sued in this State, after the disgraceful
and humiliating proceedings of tho Hi
rtsburg Convention. If the Democratic
party i» of the slightest value to the
country, it is lieoau.se its principles arc
correct, and lieesnse it is more devoted
and attached to onr republican institu
tions than any other party. If it is in
tended to couvert it into a mere machine
for the advancement of certain individ
uals to oflioe without regard to honor,
honesty, consistency or principle, then
it should, and most assuredly will perish.
We have always looked upon the Deni
oentie party in the post os the great bul
wark of protection and defence against
all tendency toward centralism; wo be
lieve its mission in the future is to turn
beck the current of despotism which now
threatens to sweep over our country aud
obliterate every semblance of civil libor-
' r and seU-goverument iu these United
because it pleaaed the passing whim or
imssiou of some petty military satrap. If
a Democratic convention could not ap
prove of these outrages upon the righto
of single individuals, how oan it now
with any degree of consistency endorse
an effort to destroy the righto and liber
ties of the whole country by the most
glaring and barefaced usurpations.
Webeb’cre that the great, living and
vital issue now ia: shall we perpetuate
our present form of government or con
vert it into a despotism ? We ore “Bour
bons" enough to desire the former, and
therefore oppose aud will continue to
oppose every atop tending towards the
latter.
Those who desire to take a “new de
parture” are perfectly welcome to go over
and join hands with those who have al
ways earnestly, consistently, and we be
lieve conscientiously favored a centralized
government
The true Democrats of lows deserve,
as they no doubt will receive, a hearty
God speed from their brethren in all sec
tions of the Union.
