4 TERRIBYE NAY

What a terrible man Andrew johnson is in the
estimation Of Know Nothing editors. If he says
that Democracy, according to his judgment, is
founded upon Truth and tends to the perfection of
mans temporal condition, as the religion Of the
Bible does his spiritual condition. he is pronounced
as a basphemer and an atheist. 1t he announces
himself friend of the laboring men, seeking to
improve and elevate their condition be is called
lepelier mOJOcrat, seeking to stir up preiudices
against the rich and ferment strife between capital
and labor.
But Of all the ridiculous nonsense which malice
has invented, we have seen nothing more ludorousy
absurd than the paragraph from the Memphis Eagis
and Enquire, in reference to the recommendations
Of Gov. Johnsons recent message on the subject Of
Banks. That paper says:
"No man Of Intelligence and with an unbiased
mind, can read Gov. Johnson's last message TO the
Tennessee Legislature, without believing hin dis
honest politician. lie proposes a Hard Money sys
TEN; for his recommendation TO wind ND all The
banks in the State, if carried out, would result in
Just such a scheme. In word, our progressive
Governor would abolish credit.
The Barbary States have nothing but hard
money, because in those countries nothing Is yalus-
bic which cannot be secreted or boarded. They are
the purest desPousms which exists on the globe
and they are just what Gov. johnson would make
this country, If his recommendation should be car
ried out 3"
This is conclusive. Gov. johnson is evidently a
barbarian aud the great majority of the people who,
through their representatives have recently eeva ed
him to the highest Office within their gift. must be
bsrbarians also. There are few civilized people in
the country, and the editor of the Ea-al-is one Of
them. How fortuusfe for the world that there is
still some light leh.
