There are not 4 dozen straight-out

classed as Internationally loyal, and
half Of them are in Fast Tennessee

Goldsmith tells Us, when closely pnr
sued by hounds, will return to the place

son Of wisdom in this quotation which

The Governor, in abiding to "A1'
fairs Of State" and the "hiqh .hda'ea
a measures Of the rcsi1ning ro"Serr'-
tire members, says he thinks it likely
that the constituents Of some 81 these
,sbollcrs'' will rc-clcct them, or "ot'Icr
rebels" pledged to II similar course OF
.srcbcllion," and in case they do send
back such representatives (tiiat is, men
who will not vote with the RadicaIS,)
the Governor says he "RELIEs rroN
THE MAJORITY REFUSING ANY SUCH
FIEE-BRANDS SEATS AMONG THEN, -
Nothing (" higllhanded' about this
Oh! no! II is only Congress on II
.Sioir scalc-Mn iutimation t, the Radi-
Gals to refuse seats to said members.
We guess the majority will admit
them, for a quorum will he wanted,
But the returned members will know

for us, even if the lunatics are turned
loose, and the pcnitcntiary goes to
ruin, and the "cows quit having
calves" as Jack Shivcrs would say.
The Governor says it is a ridiculous
report that he is going to resign his OF,
icc--hc don't intend to do any such
thing, but will fight it out on 'thiS
line" ever if left IN 4 .gong by M;mse!f.
Thinks the object Of such reports is to
Kill Off his Influence and the influence
of tho Knoxville wig. We didn't be
licyc it when we heard it, and We never
heard il ill we read the Governors
speech. Ga this point the Governor
w q" # The enemies of true loyalty
and of the State Government wish to
ret rid Of me between this and October,
1867, they must do one Of three
things; they must procure my assassl-
nation; they must impcach me and
break me of my Office; or they must
prevail upon the President to set aside
the State Government, and givcthcm Il
Military Governor Of the coppcrhead
stripe, suited to their tastes and pur-
poses
He has been nattercd, coaycd, threat
cncd, villilicd and denounced, as a
means of inducing him to serve the
cause of treason and the interests OF
traitors, but, continues the Governor,
81 have alike dcspiscd and hcroically
resisted all these Southern appliances,
and God being my helper, | will resist
them TO the bitter end Amen
Don't wonder, dear reader, that 4 man
of blood-thirsty spirit, and seeking re-
venpc, should call God his helper.
The men who entered the holy city OF
Jerusalem and butchcrcd ten thousand
people in cold blood, after they had
surrendered themselves US prisoners,
and made the streets flow with blood,
the next moment threw aside their arms
and advanced with rcclincd bodies to
the holy scpulchrc, singing anthems to
the Lord. While they murdered and
plundcred they wore the cross as a
badge to show they were christians. As
christians, %dcnouncing all as inlidcls
who agreed not with them, they spared
neither sex nor age; the infant on the
breast was pierced by the same blow
with its mother, who inplored for
mercy. This was in the 18th centu,
