JEFF DAVIS Al T"rkNsoN-wARLlhE.
This inflated bigot made a speech at
Stevenson, on Thursday night, overflow
ing with blood and thunder. Tennessee
is not scared Her sons have Sc the
elephant.
Can jeff Davis scare Tennessee: He
says that the border States will come into
The Co,,onocracy in sixty days. We will
simply say, that Tennessee has declared
for the Stars aud Stripes, and that vile
traitors, such as be is, had better be
looking out for safe retreat in some
| vast wilderness - some contigHlty Of
shade.' in which to hide his head from
an Indignant and outraged people
lie boosted of his preparations for war.
This same bluslerer, in speech a few
years ago, ventured to Islander the Tenn.
essee volunteers. We know what we
say, when We asser: that with all his
buster. Tennessee could, if so disposed,
subdue the whole Co,tonocracy in II shor,
time. He calculates now on soldiers Of
Tennessee to aid him in his wicked and
tiendioh purpose Of breaking up this Clio.
iibu>
= He Is as proud and as vain as Beelzc-
bub He thinks that he holds the
''kiugdoms 0: the world, aud the powers
thereof in the hollow of his hand -
He is looking for the English Govern
ment to bow to him. He says the Eng
lish Government will acknowledge the
Cottouocracy.
This is all nonsense The English
Government, as well as all others, knows
how to treat the flag Of tie United
States, and so will jeff. Davis Let him
attemrt to subduc the Federal Govern
mcnt, let him fire at Fort Sumter. or at
any other fort of tie United States,
whore our flag now floats, al he is as
sure to be hung as that the sun will rise
to morrow morning, unless he runs, like
coward, to country beyond the reach
of Tennessee. We know hundreds of
men in his seeding Cottonocracy who
are ready to tie the rope for the hang
man.
Jeff Davis has been producing discon
tent, and teachlng treason, as long as
We can stand it. lie has been vile
cop>pirator against his government for
years.
There is no use in soothing orr people
any longer. Traitors must suffer, unless
they stop their treason We may be
asked to be patient. How, in the name
Of high Heaven, can man be patient
when traltorous flag is Haunted in our
face. VIXEN traitor comes to our Dor
der, and talks treason to our country
openly?
He talks of sacking cities. Vile reb
cl inflated bjyot! Let him try the
Tcnnesseans, whom he So base'y SANDER.
ed. LIT him try Nashville Oar read
ers must indul re US a little. We cannot
torhcar to denounce treason; aud when
ever We cease to do 50, ''may our right
hand forget her cunning"
We have borne with trea> on as long as
It is possible to do so. Talk of tearing
down our fair fabric of government -
N-ver' Nrver.. jeff Davis is on the
road to the caIlows. and his followers had
better be careful An indignant public
vii! net forever endure Insult and trea-
son-pI"tting. We have Iiv,d prosper
ously and happily for three quarters of a
century, aud We know that Tennessee
never vii! give up this free and happy
country.
Let this vile traitor and his foul min
ions come. Tennessee never has for
saken the glorious flag of free and happy
America, and by the Eternal, she never
will! She has always conquered the CHI
emies of the country. and will again, if
required to do so. This is our country,
and all the powers Of earth cannot Jorte
US to give it up.
Rise, fellow -countr ymen our country yet remains
by that dread name we the sword Oh high,
And swear for her to live, i,r her to die.
