Person Brownlow wCr0ss-Examiaed.
Governor Brownlow, in his annual
message TO the legislature Of Tennes-
SEQ, said, i....... d .....,.f
II am convinced that the white and
colored people cannot live together po.
litically or socially as equals i2a7
"Emigration shall be fostered and
encouraged, and commission station
ed at the East TO secure numerous
foreign emigration of skilled labor"
The New York Tribune would pre-
fer to have the Governor in the witness
box, and touch him up viva voce, but
as he is in Tennessee and the Tribune
in New York, the latter proceeds, as
is usual in such cases, filing series of
written interrogatories, as follows:
l. Are you aware that Punishment,
except as a punishment for crime, is
itself crime Of the strong against the
weak? ... ...-..--.- .t....
2. Will you state the crime which
the Blacks Of your State have commit
ted which renders them deserving of
banishment? al IL rea
3. How much do you estimate tho
Government or the Governor of your
State to be worth, if it or be is inca
pable of protecting the weak against
the cruelty and injustice Of the strong?
A. If Blacks and Whites cannot live
together politically as equals, why then,
do you support that Government
which has declared them to be equals
before the law? '- f- "'"'H ''
5. If Blacks and Whites cannot live
together soeiallyas equals, is it not true
that Whites and Whites also cannot %
live together?

self-respect and consistency, live upon
terms of political and social equality
with many thousands of whites whom
you see around you2

or to permit them to Danish you?
IL. Suppose black man declines to
emigrate according to your notion,
what authority do you find in the Con-
stitution for compelling him to gof
l3. Ifyou cannot compel him con.
stitutionalIy, what right have you to
compel him morally by partial and
one sided law9 f,y a,s
ii. What surety can you offer that
those who would treat the poor black
laborers badly, would not treat poor
white laborers in the same way >?
Is. Do you consider it Christian to
inveigle poor but honest white men

16. The material interest Of the State
considered, is it probable that raw
hands will perform you labor as skill
fully and proftably as those who are
accustomed to it? lL sfari aa'

ty to do unto others as you would havc
them do unto you? ,i.rg

bowling wilderness, and preach tho
Gospel to wild beast and birds?
