NASHVILLE, IEEN-, Nov. l. 1908.
To ibrahau Lincoln President and Com
IN nder an Ch.ef Of tAs Army and Nary
OF the Csifed States Of imerica:
DEAR SIR Having taken the oath.
feel that am loyal citizen of tho United
states. SO long as you may be able to hold
Tennessee. and therefore feel at liberty TO
instruct you as TO the policy to be pursued
towards this State. l deeply deplors your
late order to enlist colored troops in this
) ate. 1t will exssperats the true Southern
Rights people very much. 1t has exaspsra-
ted me greatly, and unless | get another
contract. | may possibly pursue such q
Course will make it necessary Tor me to
take the oath again. Sir, your order is a
death blow to all our rights, and under
mines our freedom. You probably need
more soldiers, although l doubt it. But. if
veu do want more, whv take our slaves in
stead OF our White men? l have fifty able
bohied male slaves. worth at least $1,000
apiece. and it will break me up. ruin me il
vou take them and place them in the srmy.
There are hundreds of poor ',chite trash. -
greasy mechanics. and hard listed mud sills
rowing about Nashville, whom you ought
10 take If poor white men are killed no
BODY is hurt. but il 'ay slaves are taken l
will lose fry thousand dollars! Think of
this, sir. and see TIE enormous radicalism Of
your policy. | believe that there are too
many poor white men in Tennessee already.
and it would Dc a positive benefit to US il
YOU would clean them out by drafting them
into the army; while on the other hand there
are rot siares enough. The poor white
men raise little or no cotton, and are Of no
use TO the great commercial world. The
slaves raise cotton. commodity which
brings about so cents per pound; so you
can see hoW much more raluobie negro
slarss are to the State, as tOeh as to the
counisy at large than poor whife citizens.
l. this be SO, 1t is plain that slaves should
be saved from tie casualties of war, SO
long q, t'er- is white man to send to the
lid Yes. ,ir. painful as it would be 10 see
nv sons drafted, | would rather give them
up nan mg slaves. Your order is death

Gov BrsasMteste. of Kentucky.

Some unfortunate stakeholder 10 Kentucky
who had before the eyes Of his mind, the
loss Of twenty-five darkies held in bondage
by him, wrote a doleiui letter to Governor
Bramlette, stating his condition, and expires
sing his belief that the war was not now be-
ing conducted 10 put down the rebellion.
but for the overthrow of the institution, and
the bankruptcy OF all the shareholders. The
Governor makes a most thorough and pa
triotic reply 10 the same, and very naturally
comes 10 the conclusion. that if we refuse
to sustain our armies in the field, We help
the rebels, and that if we do not preserve
our nationality. even with the loss Of sls-
very. then will both be lost to the people of
Kentucky--for. says Gov. B. "if We cam OF
preserve slavery with our nationality, even
with the loss of slavery. then we will loose
both our nationality and slave property %
The Governor sums up the whole question,
after most eloquent argument thereon, in
The following glowing terms.
1T certainly is wise economy to save all
we can from the wreck of rebellion. To
yire up all because zoe can't saUc all is worse
than childish folly. l have slaves that
would ventar life for me; and | would take
the hazards Of danger to defend them against
wrong and injustice. Bat | am not willing
to imperil my own nor other lives merely TO
preserve the relation, much less viii, tor
such cause forfei, the life of my Govern.
ment. To do SO requires man either to
be Secessionist or Abolitionist. No other
class of ci izens ara willing TO stake the life
of society opon the question of ''Digger" or
'no nigger." As l am neither. and never
can be, l must therefore. stand by my Gov.
srnment, To maintain its lie. aud preserve
our nationality, though for uues be wrecked,
life be sacrificed. and insti u'ions b. dss
trnyed in The sweep OF rebellion The ma
ionaIity preserved. | can shout as nv eyes
pierce ,he smoke Of battle. and my head is
lifted above the waves of rebelhon--I am
an American citizen. This, 10 me. is above
all price--an inheritance which earth's hid
den treas res cannot buy l part WI b 1t
only with lite, and | shall, leave the Injunc-
lion upon my children TO fight on for its
preservation till it be secured beyond the
reach OF treason and rebellion. | act in
concert with those who would preserve
not destroy our Government"
These are sentiments worthy of the chief
agistrate OF the Stale which claimed the
immortal Clay as her own--and the loyal
lists of the whole country will rejoice with
grea,joy to hear them from the lips of ken-
tucky's patriotic Governor. who was recent
ly near being caught in a trap by the Sey-
mourites in New York who had invited him
to speak for their cause during the late cleo
ton canvass-bu, the Governor ere the day
arrived. evidently discovered the mistake
he was making and asked the Copperhea ads
to excuse him. Gov. Bramlette was cleo
ted by $4,000 maj prity, and the Frankfort
Commonwealth declares that his views as
expressed in the letter from which we have
quoted, are those of the great mass of Ken
