We cannot attempt to notice the multiplied cal

only refer to this extract in order to contrast il
with one that follows Immediately after. in which
he attempts to cast an imputation upon the vote of
Nashville on the sth Of June. He says:
The second step taken was this. They flooded our
country, especially through the newspapers and the

Now while this reverend and distinguished /
friend" of the pious patriot JOHNSON. is charging
wholesale fasehoods upon the people of Tennessee.
he proceeds Immediately to discharge himself of |
one SO patent, as to demonstrate what practical |
adept he is in the art and what stupendous false
hoods he has been in the habit of retailing to keep
the people of East Tennessee in ignorance and thus
prevent them from following their natural instincts
of patriotism This oracle says
The election in Tennessee. except in East Ten5es

facts. In the city of Nashville the full vote is 600
Notwithstanding 500 voters had left previous to |
the election, and 200 Union men did not vote at
all reducing the number of voters to 5000 the day
of election she cast her full vote-60OO
1t will be seen what an accomplished falsifier
his man is, when it is remembered that the whole
vote of Nashville On the Sth Of june was less than
800. His other figures are equally unreliable.
We are informed that this Reverend calumniator of
his cOuatryman, was educated in New Jersey, and
when he returned to his fathers hsuse from college
he was so tainted with abotiouis that he would not
permit one of his fathers negroes to make him
AfSs Ulack his oOOlss or DflGg MN wafer. Being !
thus early Tndoetrinated into the school of aboli
tionism, his loose ideas about truth followed as
natural consequence. He is now prepared to in
vent any calumny against true Southern man.
Referring to this subject of truth and falsehood,
we naturally recur to the pious patriot, ANDY JOHN
son, who, in q speech at Newport Kentucky, daIiv-
cred on the I'd inst, among other stale things, re-
peated by him continually, and borrowed from the
AbohtiOnists, he gave u.terance to the following
stupid untruth:
am an exlle-a fugitive, not from but for justice,
and my crime l. my feeble efforts to support thu
Constitution; but if lie people Of Tennessee could
sp eak to day. an OTerw JeIming majority of her
peOple would shout for the UaIonl
This falsehoOd has been repeated so eftsn by the
tories of the South and the Abolltonists have, so
far, found so little to sustain it, in their limited
travels towards Richmond and other points, that If
its propsgstcrs don't take care their patrons will
begin to suspect that it only started to secure
them positions and salaries at Washington, which
is its real object. If they however silly enough
to pay Johnson. ETHERDGE and their associates
large salaries for so weak an invention why let
them do it. Th,y do not thereby disturb or harm
the South. Thsse men are truly "exies' from
their country, and can never again injure their
former countrymen by their Vaccinations.
