From he Washington Telegraph The Nashville Boot Lickers.

We could clothe ourselves in sackcloth and scatter ashes over our head. We have received the wound which all sensitive natures experience when those they have admired and trusted, are suddenly detected in some act of infamy which r.nders them despcable forever.
 The nest of traitors which, raked from the whole Stare of lenressees recently assembled at Nashville, and under tae shadow of the tede- ral army, which was murdering their kinsmen, aud mplisoning their fellow citizens fawned upon the traitor Andrew Johnson, whom they had been wont to despise and abuse,. was com posed ot men who in times past were gentle
 men. The spectacle which they now present, baselv bowing before the power, and licking the feet of the invader, is the most humiliating possible to human nature i'll its most contemp tible moods
 Wm. 3. Campbell has been an illustrious name. He was once our model of dignifed, brave, and sensible gentleman. He is revealed as a hypocrite. He professed once to favor the southern cause, and was rendered the office of brigadier. He declined it, lthe eontemptible double-dealer) on Ue score of heaiM But he lay in wait amongst people who still loved aud trusted. him, until the enemy came. They came scattering fire and desolation amongst those who had hOnored him, and ne gives them aid and comfort and applands their acts lie is no bold villain, but sneaking and heartless time-Seryer. With some few exceptions, of gentlemen, who have always opposed the secession movement,
 mongst whom we can only designate Jno. Trim bic; the same double iufamy rests upon the whole of them. It is not treason to the South alone, but they are doubly damned by treachery
 l hey professed to acquiesce iR the secession movement. It would have been the grossest il- suit to any one of them to have doubted bis l ,yalty to the South. They would have resented 1t with clamorous earnestuess. They covered before the southern feeling, whilst 1t was in the ascendant, and basely pretended allegiance They now fawn upon the enemy and lick the hands, reekng with their brothers blood.
 Most ot these men have been our friends, somsof them the most intimate we have ever had. We have lost much to be no longer able l to respect them. Some of them have had so great hold upon our affections in by gone days that We would freely have risked our life. 1 in their. defence. We tear them of ioray~r
 Between them and IS great gulf is s.,e3 vvb;cb can never be passed this side .Sa crave w. can only oathe and desp:oe them dur;no the remnant of life, As iof the ."olitcal significance of this move nnehF II IS altogether unworthy of notice. The "omes of Tennessee hare sent forth into the ] Southern armies more .than serenty-seyen re- giments. Their blood has flown at Donelson, their bare feet have frozen in the mountains of Virginia, they have langushed with disease in the camps at Corinth. Every where the sons ! of the old volunteer State have done their duty well. Can it be supposed that their friends at home are base enough to sympathise with those who receive with smiles and fawning the bloody invaders who make these sacrifices necessary? 1 The whole heart of Tennessee beats with indIg- nation against her unworthy sons, and hatred of the invader.
