dorsed the charges or statement referred
20. We have done aud do no such thing
and disclaim any such purpose en-
tirely The statement of the Times'
correspondent is either true or untrue.
II true, the loyal people of the country
can determine what need Of censure Capt
b. deserves. Ii untrue, he should be re-
leved Of the imputations cast upon him.
We will take pleasure in rendering him,
as we did the General, full Justice.
Radicalism is revolutionary; and Con-
servausm is Constitutionalism.- Lou
journal.
What precise point the Journal would
make by this assertion is not clearly
manifest in an article it publishes in
reply &c the Unions article, "1ow TO
Destroy an Aristocrscy." Suppose IL
true. Revolution does not necessarily
introduce error and evil, nor is constitu-
tiouAlism necessarily right Bat it is
not true in any sense and especially
in the sense of the Journal man
A radical may be constitution.
Alist, or he may be reyolnt;onist The
virtue of the character depends entirely
on the object that he would attain. A
conservative is not essentially a revolu-
ZIONIST. In tho days of the American
revolution conservative was a tory. At
the formation of our present constitu-
., ton, conservative was a confederate.
SO in the revolution our radicals were
revolutionists and at the formation of the
Union a radical was oonstitutionalist.
At this time radical supports and de-
tends the constitution and q conserva
tive aids aud Abets the rebellion.
The Journal man uses the term con-
servAtism in q very different sense. He
means by it the Vallandighdm. Wood
democracy. On this subject Of democ-
racy, he had better consult his neighb 7
of the Democrat although old in every in
EQUITY the Journal is young in democracy
lie may be a conservative in some sense
If liquor could conservate any one lac
ought to last five Thousand years. II be-
getting traitors and loving traitors makes
man q conservative he is one. If in
fidelity and inconsistency can render
one conservative he should DO rs tough
AZ sole-leAther
The point in the journals article i:
simply an opening up of lis long treas
ured stores of hatred against Governor
johnson. The article in the Union "a
which the stupid conservative pretendG
to reply, shows that Southern aristocracy
was founded ON negro slavery. That The
progress of the National Arms has
overthrow the Institution. That the
achievement could not have been accom-
plished by any other means than the
strong arm Of power. The Union urges
the people not TO resurFect the institution
and reorganize il again in their social in
situations. If they do, they can neye,
again have the liberty of speech and
thought It will require the sword tc
sever the chains that fetter freedom
Again an ocean of blood must fatten III,
land.
This revolution was inaugurated by
slavery and the friends of the govern
ment regard the government superior {,
any institution under it. The friends Of
the Nation see this, believe it snd adop
1t. The rebellion was inaugurated by
slavery to overthrow the government
The friends of the government propos,
60 overthrow slavery aud hurl il from III
once high place TO the abyss of perditOn
Like its father of old, with all its safe
lites, il will be cast out
The Journal, with its usual drunken
insolence, proceeds to attack Governor
johnson in this style:
And to cap the climax of efTrontery
this wild and revolutionary measure is
demanded by the hireling mouth-piecC
Of military agent of the General Gov
eminent, in opposition to the protests and
petitions and appeals Of the loyal people
OF Tennesseel Surely the topmost inso-
lenoe OF Jacobinism in its native cline
ala not exceed this. Such is the music
when Andrew Johnson's hurdy- gurdy
grinds Tor the loyal men of Tennessee.
This friend of JEFF. Thompson had
better come down to Tennessee and die
tate the line of policy that the loyal men
Of Tennessee should pursue. His bra
zen-fsced insolence in debating a line OF
policy TO the people OF this State. is
worthy Of the friend and supporter OF
JEFF. Thompson. He has good liquor and
money for the traitor; he has words OF
friendship for the miserable freebooter.
For Andrew johnson, the man whose
heart beats for the whole country, and
all its gloriea, he has words OF vulgar
malignity.
