The Richmond Times is rather rough
on the Tennessee Representatives who
did such lofty officiating to get their
seats in Congress. 1t says.
They cast honor and shame 10 the
winds, and progressed most rapidly
with the work of decentralization. They
became hewers of wood and carriers of
water for the lowest and most Jacobin-
ical cast of the Radical party. Stokes
and Maynard washed the dirty linen of
Sumner, and the still dirtier feet of
Stevens The task masters of these de-
praved renegades put them to all man
ner Of revolving and scavenger occupa-
tions.
They were, fguratively speaking, kept
at work breaking stones, repairing sinks
and draining cess pools for the Rad
icals. They were forced to stump the
New England States, and forced to de.
file their own section, and to mock at
the grief, poverty and misfortunes OF
their neighbors and constituents They
Mere exhibited by their merciless mas
ters as missionary does a converted
Hottentot, or as Cough does a reformed
drunkard Judas, when he pOcketed
his thirty pieces Of silver and then
hanged himself, escaped the humilia-
tien and the insults which the Radicals
inflicted upon the wretched Tennessee
apostatates But for seven months their
dirt eating and wretched treason brought
not a penny of reward, much less the
thirty pieces which Judas was paid at
time when money was very scarce and
its standard of value enormously high
As soon as these amendments were
passed by the Radical Rump Congress,
Stokes, Maynard and Brownlow saw op
portunely opened before them a gulf OF
dishonOr Onto which they might plunge
their unhappy State), infinitely more un,
fathomable than any into which they had
before precipitatsd her
In Tennessee the great majority OF the
people are disfranchised, and By imagin.
| ing the fate of Virginia in the hands OF
Underwood and Company, we can form
| some idea of the condition Of Tennessee
with Brownlow's S hoof upOR her neck and
eighty thousand disfranchised citizens
excluded from the polls In Tennessee
| the roiCe Ofthe people is not audible With
| the hand of such a filthy Zahoo as
Brownlow upon her throat Tennessee
can utter no word of honor aud courage
! No sounds reach us from that State but
the mingled curses, yells, shouts, groans
inprecations, blasphemy aud bowls ot
Brownlow's Psndemonium
If Lucifer was TO revisit tue earth II
search of an improved system OF torture
for the damned, he would go straight tc
Tennessee to learn diabolism from
"Brownlow's Union men, just as Petel
the Great went to Holland aud to Eng
land to improve himself in the arts oI
commerce and ship building
