A PrOpOsitIOn.

Gov. Johnson, on Tuesday night, addressed
a large audience composed in the main of
Americans, attracted thther by curiosity, to
learn the style and temper in which the Gov
erLor would touch politics. We heard the
speech, and have proposition to make to his
Excellency.
We propose that he shall prepare it for pub
LEGATION, as delivered, rer6d:im ct hterdtim Ell
punctuGtim, and we agree to publish it, as we
receive the manuscript from his hands, reserv-
ing the privilege to comment. We tender
this proposal in solid earnest, for we believe
honestly, that il, after the care and elaboration
bestowed upon il, ne is willing to put il forth
as the strongest showing that can be made for
Mr.. Buchanan and against Mr.. Fillmore, it
viii strengthen our friends TO know how mis-
ersbiy weak is the opposition.
We know the speech abounds in charges of
unblushing faIsity, against Mr.. Fillmore, but
we do not fear their effect, especially when
their source is known. We wish to get before
the people of Tennessee his unqualified avowsl
Of squaEter sovereignty-his reiterated asser.
ton that this election was & sectional struggle,
a contest between the North and the South
his bold proclamation that he was no compro-
miser, and no conservative, and we would fain
see in pFin; his pathetic personal illusions.
We want TO read about thar arrow sped from
tAs gRirer Of friend" which still testers and
rsnklrs. Governor 10, Us hear from you.

laying these petitions on the table is very differ
ent thing from sanctoning the objects of the petit
aioners. On the I'd March, 1886, Mr.. Buchanan,
having presented petition TO abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, complained Of the view
certain Southern men took of it, and said
LET it once be understood that the sacred right
Of petition and the cause of the abolitionsts must
rise or must fall. together, and the consequences
may be fatal. would, therefore, warn Southern
gentlemen to reflect seriously in what situation
they place their friends to the North BY insisting
that this petition shall not be received" Regis
ter Of Debates, 1886, p. 6Sl.)
On the It'll January, 1886, he said that The
could not vote for the motion OF the Senator from
South Carolina, mr. Cahoun,) not to receive these
memorials" to abolish slavery in the District OF CO.
lumbia-(see p. SIS, Register of Debates.)
And on the 18th February, same year, the Penn
sylvanis memorial, for the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, being called up, Mr.. Bu~
chanan said
''He believed that the Senate had not the power
to refuse to receive the petition."-( Register oil
Debates, p 1867
But enough of this Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Bus
chanan, with many Southern men, alike voted to
receive petitions, merely to sustain the right OF
petition, the sentiments OF which petitions they
utterly repudiated But here is Southern orator
fasiiying the record against Mr.. Fillmore, in order
to create the false impression that he voted to con
fer citizenship on persons OF color! Shame upon
the Southern man who would thus stab him while
he is heroically bringing the moral force Of his po-
sOn and character to bear to sustain the constius
tiona rights OF the South! o, shame! that those
who should thank him for his manly and courageous
stand against the AbohtioniSts, actually fasi-
Tying the public records in order TO try TO tarnsh
his bright and glorious name Let the South re-
buke such ingratitude and injustice!

CENTREvILLE, July 18th,

CENTREVILLE, July 18th, 1876.
DEAR SIRS On the 10th inst c. c. Grove,
elector for the It'll Congressional, made speech
at Ceutreville. 1t able effort and filed the
highest anticipations of his friends; be put the
claims Of Fillmore and Donelson before the peo-
pie in plain and statesman-like manner, and with
SO much ability that it inspired the American party
Of Hickman with new life and zeal We could not
but feel amused at seeing the antics writhe under
the sting of his piercing e'oquence and at hearing
their lamentations over the many dark facts that
he Cleaned from the record Of Mr. Buchanan and
heaped upon them,-we were alse amused on the
arrival of Mr.. Grove, at seeing the hacks Of the
lion. hearted Democracy fall, and at seeing them
scamping to and fro sending their poor deuded fol-
lowers home, and conjurug them not to hear him.
They know the truth was mighty and would prevail,
and knew that it would not do to let them hear ma.
tions and conservative men; they know that the
only mode of keeping them within the Democratic
fold, is to keep them in ignorance OF American
principles and that end they attain by preventing
them from hearing American Speakers, and by
keeping them in utter ignorance of Mr.. Buchanan s
character. The Democratic masters of old Hick
rule their subjects with an iron rod But we are
satisfied with the antics as they are, and can but
feel for them see them sliding down the
convergng lines; it will be enough to move the
strongest heart in next November when we will see
them lying at the foot OF Jacobs ladder struggling
in their own disgrace We imagine that it will be
a filthy heap Of corruption, and that Buchanan will
be at the bottom.
At night, after Mr.. Grove made his able and elo-
quent defence ofAmerican principles, Mr.. Skyrme.
a native Of England, gave bis reasons for acting
with the American party. 1t was an able address,
an argument that did honor to its author, and can
not fail to do good for the American cause He is
decidedly fine orator and is doing noble work
for the Union, and her free and liberal Institutions
He shows plainly to every unprejudiced mind,
that the American party the friends and pro-
tectOrs of every honest foreigner, and the only
true conservative party that DOW exists, and with
that assurance he is With them in the great battle
of the Union.
Our friends in other parts Of the State may rest
assured, that with our able and gifted eector, C.
C. Grove Esq, as our fle-leader, and hi- gallant
assistants, that are certain to make a gain in
this district for Fillmore and Donelson.

FaIsIfying the RecOrds-Be ON your
Guard, Americans!


The enemies of Willard Fillmore are de-
termined to omit no means or appliance
to defeat him. We hear of perversions of
his record which should disgrace those who
are guilty of them. An instance of this
sort has been brought to the notice of the
American Organ at Washington, and ex-
posed in that paper Of the 10th, as follows:
We learn that in Tennessee, a Buchanan cand-
date for erclor is charging in public speeches,
that Mr.. Fillmore, when in Congress in 1872, "vOt.
ed 10 extend the naturalization laws SO as 10 en-
bTae free persons 81 color" aud that this champion
OF Buchanan then goes on 60 argue that Nc. Fill
more, having Uotsd 70 ertsBd tLe priVil,qe Of eiii
zei1D 10 persons Of color, Is dangerous expOnept
Of the views OF party wnoHould curtail The pryi-
lrges Of white foreigners.
This is a bold SANDER, but 20 give il plausibilty
we understood that this Buchanan orator iearsssly
quotes lbe House Journal of 9lst January, Is4s,
and the Congressional Globe Of the same date il

one can have access 10 the HOUSE, Journal or TO

record, aud hnd, OF course, that the charge is q

proceedings OF the elsa January, ls4s, and the

We anticipate tremendous crowd at the
corner of Market and Broad streets, tonight,
to hear the speech of Governor johnson on
the Presidential question. We trust that the
people will be permitted to pesceably assem-
bic, and that those whose business it is, will
see that order is preserved. Every citizen,
and especially every property holder, is inter
ested in this matter. "-U Union and american,
QfTuesday
Gov. johnson made his speech according to
appointment. a large number of Americans
were amongst the persons present. He was
listened to respectfully throughout, notwith-
standing the apparent desire OF the Union
and american, as m anifested in the above pa
ragraph, 10 provoke different result. That
the language employed by tina: paper, was en-
tirely gratuitOuS and uncalled for is proven by
still it must not be supposed that it was not
regarded, and justly, as Al insult to the Ame-
rican party of Nashville, party numbering
in its midst a large portion of the best
and most respected citizens of the place.
And we know of no plea which can be offered
in extenuaton of this wantOn outrage upon
their feelings They have never been guilty
of any thing to excuse it in the least On the
contrary, they had borne much from Governor
Johnson and others, from proper motives of
self-respect, and in federation of free speech,
and there was no reason to apprehend a de-
parture on their part, from this line of policy.
