Why many of these elegant gentlemen re-
belled to get rid Of paying their Northern
debts! If miserable, crippled negro, worth
Eve hundred dollars, was stolen, the Govern !
mcnt must be overthrown if the negro could
not be recovered, but your polite, fastidious
and chivalrous merchant can go among what
he calls 'blue bellied Yankees" buy their go ds
on credit, and then, when pay day comes, tel
his creditors IN the North "Oh, 1 have Sc
cededw 1t is an outrageous crime to steal
negro, but it is gentlemanly inanciering to
defraud a Northern creditor of $4,000 or
Sl00,0cO. Hundreds of instances could be
related showing how far the rebellion was i'm
PEELED and advanced by the swinding spirit
Yet these very men who bad disgraced them
selves by these Frauds would talk gravely about
the sin of slave stealing. Now take the val
ne OF all the negroes that have been stolen
from the South and then take the sum Of the
Northern debts that have been repudiaied by
the southern men, and The latter will surpass
the former at least ten TO one. Who owns
many of our public buildings, railroad stocks,
! bank stocks, aud other property? Northern

Gov johnson paid an elegant tribute to the
loyalty and fidelity of the East Tennesseans,
who, have under the crushing weight OF op-
preston still remained faithful to the Union,
The conduct of many Of the rebel wcnen, he
remarked, was astonishing. How dare you
breathe treason and insult the flag OF your
country? Hold up your hands in the light OF

they arc not red with blood Yes, the blood
of YOUR own husbands, brothers and sons, whom
your wretched inlatuation drove 10 treason

gladly stayed at home, who felt 90 sympathy
for the wicked cause, and who, but your wick
ed couuse's might night he with US in the
enjoyment of life and health have bean sent by
your pernicous influence to an untimely ana

the stieets, haunt their dresses as though they
were terrific comets and the world was TO be
dashed cut OF existence by sweep of their
trains For Il true woman he ever cherished
an exalted reverence and admiration but for
