Democratic Rally at Columbia.
COLUMBIA, Tenn, Aug. oath, '65.
To tie Editor Of tho Nashville True Wig;
SIR: "The Great Democratic Jubilee" came off
here yesterday. will not attempt to give you a
description Of the affair. The undertaking would
be as great bore to me as the result would inevi-
tally prove to you and your readers. The speakers
on the occasion were Messrs. G. J. Pillow, Aaron
Y. Brown, Andrew Johnson, Andrew Ewing, Saw.
age and Smith, all Of whom put "Sam" through
thorough course of sprouts. never heard a
poor devil slandered and abused as Sam was BY
some of this band of democratic chilyary As
Simon Suggs says, they cussed him up one side
and down the other, till there was MT piece Of
him as large as your thumb nail that was MT pro-
perly cussed." They literally fayed him alive
though they all would have sworn that he was dead
before they touched him. j have been the neutral
spectator Of innumerabe conflicts and castigations
in my day but l never in all my life had the hap
piness of witnessing anything like the affair of yes
terday. Il was grand, lit was more, it was abso-
lutey sublime and terrific, to say nothing about the
mider beauty of the thing.
But seriously. This is the first instance in the
history of politics in Tennessee in which one great
party, after defeating another, (or the Locofocos
UiH insist that they have defeated u.s. has continu-
ed TO strike revile and almost spit upon its adver-
sary. The members Of that party will swear by
all things holy that they have routed the American
organization, horse foot and dragons, and yet still
continue the hue and cry of battle. II they have
killed Sam" to all intents and purposes as they
continually tell US, why do they still thrust their
reeking blades into his pulseless hearty All, vel,
they know be still lives, armed and panoplied for
the sterner struggle yet to come, and that in his
"red right hand" there slumbers the might which
is to wrench the sceptre from the unhallowed grasp
Of Sag NicLti& demagogiusm. This restless horde
of impacabIe political barbarians is led on by An
drew johnson, who, forgetful Of the position he Oe
cupies as Governor Of the State, goes forth from
Dan to Beersheba, in pitiful crusade against
party which he and bis captains of division boast
of having buried so deep that the hand of resur-
rection can never reach it / shall give you
sketch Of "the model Governor" soon.
Gen. Pillow made the first speech yesterday
explained the object of the assembling together of
the unterrihed. He spoke of the recent butchery
in Louisville, and placed the entire responsibility
Of that bloody affair upon the American party,-a
party, he maintlned, whose triumph will drench
our country in blood. Even woman" said he, in
this connection, "heavens last, best gift to man
even woman, with all her gentleness, purity and
virtue, Is not exempt from the ferocity of these
fends - at least she was not, in Louisville"
These were his words; 81 nothing exteuuate, nor
set down aught in malice"
You have doubtless heard, or at least, read Gov
Browns speech. He delivered il at Lebanon and
elsewhere before be came here From beginning to
end, II was little else than tissue of Islander upon
the American party. He read part of an oath,
which be asserted Is taken by every member of the
Know Nothing party, and gave certain signs used
by them. need NOT say that both the oath and
the signs were iorgeries / have seen "Sam" pretty
thoroughly, bu. never heard Of them till yester-
day. don't say Gov. Brown Is the fOrger; bat he
s at least guilty Of the despcable act Of panderng
to the crime Of the forger by utterng his forgeries
They are spurious coin, and Gov Brown Is the viii.
ling medium for their circulation among the people,
Gov. Johnson's speech was but q rehAsh Of that
delivered at MurfreesbOrough and manchester at
the outset Of the late canvass, and at Knoxville
since The election. You know, then. how he ban
died the American party. The effort was utterly
beneath the dignity OF any msn Of decent respec-
liability and refinement
Savage really forget his given name-also de-
Hvered free, denuDcArtory hArangue against our
party. He joined the organization some time ago
at Washington, and was soon afterwards kicked
out His hostility TO Sam is not without excuse
He still feels the ungentIe touch Of his brOgAn.
The speeches Of Messrs. Ewing and Smith did
not hear, but am told that of the former was mod
crate and gentemAnly.
