Tennessee has the misfortune to be
afflicted with a Governor in the person
.ef Person" Brownlow, and to'be rss
presented in her State Legislsture BY
men who. bear The most bitter hatred
towards three.fourths finer people. In
resent letter to Cincinnati paper,
Brownlow complains of the state Of
affairs in Tennessee being very unsatis-
factory, acknowledging that despite
/" Of all the vigilance exercised by the
/" civil and military authorities, murders
!" and robberies are of daily occurrence. /"
This is, indeed, i lamentable picture.
But further on he says: " / am one Of
those at the South who believe this
war has closed out two years too soon.
The Rebels have been whipped, but
not whipped enough" Two more
long, dreary years Of warl Hecatombs
more Of slain! Tens Of thousands more
Of MANNED, Of widowed and Of the IA
therless!, And all to crafty his eccen-
acknowledgements towards the people
Of the South--a vindictiveness which
he has always entertained for everything
| with which he does not coincide. It is
hard to conceive how any man can bear
such malice towards his species,i but
when coming from q minister of the
IGospel-aidisciple of themeek and lowly
One, who loved His enemies, and gave
His hfs for us-human ideas fail II
grasp the enormity of such malignancy
With Legislature whose members, il
passing resolutions protesting against
the pardon of Southern men by the
President, recently, SO far forgot theil
mission as laao-nakers as to resolve tha
an Ex-President of the United States
against whom no crime has ever beer
preferred before any legal tribunal, wa.
infamous, and worthy Of DEATH" and
who by their arbitrary enactments have
goaded her people to the verge Of endu
rance, a reign Of anarchy has been in
augurated in Tennessee, whilst in every
other Southern. State comparative quiet
is restored. - =''''' '''
Should the radical Disunionists Of the
North in Congresss-the Coifaxes, the
Kelleys, and the Julialns+- succeed in
foisting such rulers upon the other sub
hitting States Of the South, how long
We ask, will the Union be restored but
in name, and not in reality?

We have taken the liberty of sending
the first issue of the .ADvocATE to many
persons who have not actually subscribed
for it, and we very candidly say why
We have done so-it is With the view
and hope Of being thereby enabled to
add many names to our, subscription
list that are not now upon it. There
are many Democrats who were subscri-
bers to the paper that formerly repre-
scented their views in this county who
have not sent us their names, but we
feel that this does not signify their in
disposition to subscribe to our paper or
to give us the encouragement We seek
to obtain. We therefore have sent the
ADVOCATE to them, hoping that it may
prove acceptable. and that they win re-
tain it and send us their names as soon
as they conveniently can 1t shall be
our constant endeavor to present to our
readers the current news of the county.
as well as the general news of the. day,
and we hope our paper may ever prove
itself worthy of the title it to-day as
sumes, and go forth successfully upon
its mission. sE .5al4b gaa-f. 20 ,teis

As the time draws nigh for the as-
sembling Of Congress, the public are
anxiously scanning the Political horizon.
"a zee what u Likely to he. the action
sskan b. members 9 regatd t. the s.
turning Southern Sites.
The Hon. schuyler colfaxs who is !
prominent candidate for Speaker, on
being serenaded At Washington on the
18th inst, responded By q speech, in
which he discussed the question Of the
admission into Congress ofthe Senators
and Representatives elected from the
South. Mr.. Colfax took the ultra-radi-
cal ground, and not only declared him.
self in favor of negro suffrage, but also
of putting the Southern people upon an
indefinite probation before recognizing
their right to representation at Wash
ington He condemned nearly every
step the South had taken in their action
looking to a return to their former
status in the Union, and spoke Of the
negro as though he were the peer Of his
former master. AS foreshadowing of
the course which the Radicals propose
to take during the coming session, this
programme, as laid down BY Mr. Colfax,
not less than the bitterly hostile feeling
which he displays towards the South,
will command very general attention,
Hon. VIM. D. Kelley, of Pa, in a speech
the other day took the same radical
ground, as also Mr.. Julian Of Indiana.
In regard to this speech of Mr.. Col
fax, "Alpha," " the reliable correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun, says:
" 1t is now fully settled that Mr.. Col
fax's demonstration here was distasteful
to the President There is an evident
combination to force the Executive into
the radical policy, and to that end it is
stated by one of the leading wire pullers
that all members of Congress elect have
been Intercepted, and that they gen.
orally respond unfavorably to the Presi.
dents views. I hear from several
quarters that the President is very firm
in his policy of a prompt restoration Of
the Southern Statea. "l''a45s,F 'z'i'..ii
So long as President johnson pursues
this policy, our duty is plain. We be-
lieye in tho necessity of tho immediate
restoration of the Union; that the
Southern States may return at once to
their vacant places and resume the
march Of industry and quiet, peaceful
progress, under tho restored sway Of
law and order, that they may bear their
share Of the national burden, and aid us
in liquidating the national debt, and not
remain as degraded provinces, source
OF weakness and bankruptcy to us and
degradation to themselves. So long as
President johnson COOS on in this tli-
rection, as he has begun, we shall most
heartily commend his acts.
