Foote on the Confederacy.

This rebel Congressman, who awhile since left
the confederate conspirators in disgust and
made his way into our lines, has at length ap-
peared in England, and from his hotel in Lon
don has addressed pamphlet to the people of
Tennessee, in which he advises them to return to
the /" bosom of the federal union" lie says:

that the Vdtchman lost the public printing

made. We are glad to know that our neigh
boris practice in 1850, was not as bad as hi.
teachings Of few weeks ago. And our nei1 h
Dor will permit us to add, that in our discussion
we said not word about the course of the Watch

assailing anybody. IL we had said that Col
Thomas, or Gen. Butler, or Secretary Stanton
or President Lincoln had made advancement in
antislavery views since 1862, we do not think
any one would have thought we were attacking
these persons 1t would hardly be reckonsd as
an assault on Paul to say that he was quitea diff
ierent man from Saul of Tarsus. If the Sian
ddrd should announce that the FREEMAN had
made progress in anti-slayery opinions since 1864
it would not in the least disturb US The man
who in these times does not every day receive
new revelations of the hideous wickedness OIL
slavery, who is not more determined to-day thar
he was three years ago that no relic Of thit
barbarsm shall be left to hereafter plague this
people and this Government, must be under the
curse of judicial blindness having eyes he sees
not having ears he hears not, and refuses to b.
taught by the events which are every day trans
piring. And we do not suppose Gov. Smith
thanks those, who have thus made haste to de-
fend him against an attack which EXITS only il
their suspicious imaginatOns for saying that HI
stands to-day where he did in 1862, or that now
as an anti-slavery man, he justifos his course
then.
The STANDARD calls cur article unjust" ma
cious," speaks Of " the petty personal maig
nifty Of the FREEMANs fling at the Governor,
says our inference is as far as possible from
the truth and the editor of the FREEMAN knows
it, and that it is pity we hadn't sulicien
honesty to state the ground of the opposition t.
the resolution" We will not handy epithet
with the Standard but if that paper will lie
its readers see this article we shall be quite will
ing to leave them to judge of the editorial hon
esty, truthfulness and courtesy of tho FREEMAN
as compared with the Standard.
