From toe Helm* Time, *uj Hoaniger, Julr 7. 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.
