THE BOROUGH ELECTION.
U MON TORY!
COPPERllEADS ROUTED!

On Monday we had the most anima-
ted contest that ever occurred in the
Borough.
The copperheads were jubilant with
the idea Of victory. Every available
means IN their power was resorted to, to
achieve what they have SO long labored
tor, the controlling power in the Bor-
ough Of Uniontown. But as usual they
are compelled to take the back seats,
They have come nearer to the throne of
power this time than they can ever hope
to come again. The citizens are awake
and this time they come up to their duty
much more promptly than they have
been accustomed to do heretofore. We
have a decided and intallabe majority
in the Borough, when the party has en-.
ergy enough and devotion enough to
Its principles TO turn out and give prac-
tice to its faith -- Uniontoun STANDARD.
Tip.top! For "two cents" we would
get out our "chicken" but we are 'sav-
ing him up" for the ''big thing How>
ever, we congratulate our friends over
the way, and hope they will "holl 'em
where they've got 'em.' 1t is another
demonstration that SOLDIERS WILL VOTE

The Tennessee Suffrage Bill came up on its second

rebel sympathizing enemies underworld TO prevent

they sought TO embarrass it with amendments The
votes taken revealed the strength of parties thus

hopeless minority they left the House in sufficient
numbers to destroy the gtsoruga Door-keepers were
sent after them, but failed to find only few. The
loyal majority held them to it, and kept them in
session until eLercn o'clock at night. This is the
spirit of that facon-it is the spirit that got up the
rebellion. minority of q claim the right to die

additional proof Of the necessity of a Franchise
Law, to control elections, and the friends of the

We must have strong suffrage law, the
State, her Executive, Legislative and Judiciary De-
purtments will all pass into the hands of the men
who brought on the rebellion, and whose hands are
yet stained with the blood of loyal men. With but
few exceptions the loyal are standing firm, more
and more convinced Of the wisdom of their course.
There are II few men in the Legislature who are
lodging this ISSUE but they disappearing their
constituents and especially is this the of East
Tennesseeans.
This debate was continued the next two or three
days. when Garrett, of Overflow called upon Ar1'eU,

Garrett to resign for the same reason. Garrett re-

Brownlow's Knoxville Whig, and rebel ventilator. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1863-1866, 1866-02-21

Editors 'Knorr;He lFEig.-What truly loyal man
is there In East Tennessee who would vote for q
rebel even for the lowest Office in the gift of the
people? What loyal county is there that would
wish their business transacted by rebels?
The business Of the Circuit Court Clerks office,
as well as that of the County Court Clerks Office in
this county, principally attended TO- in the absence
of the Clerk, and Sometimes when they present,
by two rebels or rather ex-rebels. Is this the will
or wish of the people Of Blount comfy? EmPhat-
ically, no!
Now l know very well that one man cannot at
tend to the Offices OF Circuit Court Clerk Justice OF
the Peace, and Claim Agency all by himself but
do think that he could get some one to attend to
one or two of his offices, deputy, who is loyal,
instead of one of the lgorst kind Of rebels.

attend to his Office and collect the direct tax too;
but can he rot appoint some Union man as his

!. Much complaint is made by the rebel papers of
this State against the State Government, and the
want of good feeling among the two parties. We
assert without fear of successful contradiction that
had the partsans of the rebellion acquiesced as they
ought to have done, in the measures of the State
Government the whole South would now be at
peace, whereas we have the very reverse of good
feeling one towards another. Our courts are all in
operation, with able, good and true men on the
bench. The common people incline to peace, because
they have had enough of war; bat the leading n,e,,
and the editors keep up the strife. And why Be-
they seek to accomplish by the force of diplo-
macy and strife what they failed to securedpon the
field of carnage-the ruin of the country.
Upon the heads of the rebel politicians of Ten
nessee and the returned rebel EDITORS rests the sole
responsibility Of all violence contention and neigh
borhood disturbances These men are nsolent, over
bearing, defiant, insulting, and even aggressive
thrusting themselves forward on all occasions, il
