low. No other man could so brave
ly faco disloyalty. No man is more
feared and hated by unrepentant
treason. lIc has his faults-and who
has not? Ho has not altogether aban-
doncd his ancient hato aud prejudice
against the blacks, but no is truly 10y

" public spirited. Ho tries to dis
charge tho duties ofhis high office
Justly, and he trucliles to no anti Un'
ionism-ho favors no plots to defeat
the nationalp policy. He is profound
" anxious for the welfare Of the whole
State OF Tennessee, and clearly sees
that this is best promoted by frank
accord with the emancipation, and re,
pudiation of tho rebel debt policy OF
tho government, by tho attraction ol
capital and population and tho rapid
development OF the immense resources
of our glorious State. In future years
