A TRIBUTE To TRUTH FROM
LINCOLN COUNTY.

We commend the following statement
from two ex-oficers of the United States
army to those who desire to learn the truth
in regard to the pacific and law-abid ng
temper Of the Southern people. Upon the
question Of separation in 1861, Lincoln coun-
ty was unit, and this testimony in behalf
of its people answers a whole volume of
Radical Justification:
A CARD-FAYErTEvnL Tenn, July
I4th, 1S66.-EDIToRs Union AND ASrERI-
CAN: Certain evil disposed persons have re-
ported, and endeavOred to create the i'm
preston abroad, that persons and property
Of Union men are not safe in this county.
ANY one that would knowingly perpetrzte
so base a SANDER on the peaceable and law
abiding citizens Of Lincoln county, must be
lost to every principle of honor, and beneath
the contempt of all good men. We have
been residents ofthe county more than twelve
months, and are glad of this opportunity to
bear testimony TO the uniform courtesy and
kndness with which we have been treated
and we have vet to learn if any person has
suffered persecution, in any degree, in con-
sequence Of LOYALTY TO the United States
Government; neither do we know of any
community whose citizens have accepted the
issues Of the late war more honestly, or kept
better faith with the Government. Their
consistent action in this matter, under many
trying circumstances, challenge the admira-
ton and respect Of all true and patriotic
men. CURTIS II. BILL,

THE PLOT DEVELOPED.

1t viii be seen from our news columns
this morning that Governor BRowNLow has
applied to Gen. THOMAS for the interior
ence of the military arm for power to fasten
upon the people of Tennessee the despOtism
which he and his revolutionary Legislature
have been for the past eight months en-s
deayoring to fix upon u.s. Gen. THOMAS re-
ferred the matter 10 Washington, and i'm
mediately received positive order from the
Secretary of War not 20 interfere in the mat
tiers now pending in this city and State
It thus appears that the Radical plot to
subyert the liberties of free people, has
looked to the ultimate aid of tbs military
authorities of the United States the moment
the usurpatiOns by which it was to be ac-
oomplished, failed to serve the purpose.
The Franchise law-the Metropolitan
Police-the summary rejection of the
peoples chosen representatives-the I'M
warranted assemblage of the Legislature,
and the to-be enforced ratification of the
proposed constitutional amendment, each
and all, formed a systematic plan, by which
the grand object was to be contaminated. If
there was a hitch or balk in any part of
these nefarious plans and proceedings it was
to be removed by the strong arm of the mill
itary power Such was unquestiOnably the
design; but it seems to have failed in its
most important feature at its most critical
period.
1t is peculiarly fortunate, too, that the is
sues, that have brought to this pass our State
affairs, have been participated in by men who
have been unquestionably '9Oyal' from the
outset CT the present State Government.
The patriotic and just-minded members of
the Legislature who have resisted the fagi-
tious schemes Of the Radicals to tyrannize
over freemen, are without reproach in their
record Of attachment to the Union. The
Honorable Judge who is now considering
the habeas corpus of Mr.. WILLIAMS, is also
gentleman of unblemished character and
"loyalty"
But why this invocation of the military
at this time? What are they expected to
do? and whom are they to coerce There
has been no popular outbreak threats
against the Legislature or the laws of the
land. Where'then should the military be
employed? Is il unreasonable to suppose,
that if the Governors request had been
granted, they would have marched to the
Courthouse, ana either dissolved Judge
FRAzIER's Court or dictated his decision at
the point Of the b1yonet? The day aGter the
writ was issued the request was made, and
if it had been granted, We should have had
a military guard stationed in the halls of
justice, and the liberties ofthe people placed
in the hands ola file of soldiers.
Such is the Radical plot and its develop
ment Let the entire people of the State
return thanks for the prompt and decided
response of the Secretary of War, and cher
ish it as preventing the consummation of the
the most violent outrage upon popular lib
erty ever undertaken in America, not even
excepting the attempt ofGEoRGE the Third,

We have seen the above paragraph going
the rounds Of the papers for several days,
but believeditto be 20 lagitiously enormous
as TO be incredible. But the return Of the
sergeant-at-Arms to the House, with the re-
port Of bis assistants, in relation to the
search for Hon. HERvEY BRowN, which we
printed yesterday, gives it strong coloring
Of truth. LALLEY and CRAwFoRD, who
were sent 10 make the arrest, say;
eve then told the wife and brother of
Mr.. HERvEV RRowN that we had warrant
for him, and that he should come il he was
in the country, whereon Mr.. HERvEY

Il is due 70 the people of the country, and
those Of Tennessee especially, that the facts
should be known. The Speaker Of the
House gave no such instructions, and it lies
between some bloody-minded Radical mem

General Grant: Some of the members Of the

in every section are moving in the lppoint-
ment Of delegations composed Of men of
first-class ability, and unquestionable fidelity
10 the fundamental principles Of tonstitu-
tional liberty. It will be convocition Of
patriots true 20 Republican institutions, and
earnest in their purpose to maintain them
not 1oyaP in The latter-day sense Of shat
term, but an eagles fight above tho narrow
and contracted views Of the miserable party
which has made that word odious, and de-

Of public Affairs, demands the actism to be
taken by this body-a reassertior Of the
vital principles Of free government and
their application TO the work Of res Grafton.
We look TO it for wholesome work, and
make this reference for the purpose Of urging
the true Conservatives of Tennessee to act
speedily, and secure sound and able rep

State which, above all others, feels the
effect Of Radical mis-government. If we
