Memphis Daily Appeal

Submitting to the wrongs already perpetrated in the interest of present success, we expect to perform our full share of duty in effecting the reform indicated by the APPEAL, whereby "all possible grounds of complaints, by Democratic voters, as to all conventions and machinery of party," may be forever removed! - Sun. This is fair promise for the future. "in the interest of present success." It reminds us of the boy who having had his hat knocked off, put it back with a chip on it, and dared his antagonist to knock it off again! Will it not be as necessary to "the interest of present success" the next time the same "wrongs" are perpetrated to submit to them for that time also? What kind of victory is that which is won by submitting to "wrongs already perpetrated?" Does Democracy require or consist in submission to "wrongs" by minorities against a majority of the people in any case? If so, we are a novice in Democracy.
