the Marshal and sed
you'd show Judge Trigg whether
the Guvernor NV Tennessee had
more power than one horse Judge.
And now, after all this and q good
deal more of it, your late procla-
mashun opens in the follerin beau
tiful language-'lt is my painful
duty to announce that civil gov
ernment is again imperiled in the
State NV TENNESSEE Your pain
full duty to announced! ! knowed
it would give you pain. / sed as
soon as | heard Nv it, it would
make you unhappy. In the fust
place, l 1knowed that any man that
had showed hisself sich a devo-
ted fren to civil guverment as you
had, must materially feel the most
exkruciatin agony when he seed
it in danger. And then the new
Franchise law, the great magner
charter of loyalty and liberty, all
fixed up as nice as a blue bucket,
with the hoops driv SO tight that
it would hold water this time and
no mistake, had the bottomnocked
outen it at one lick. And you was
all fixed upin grand stile-booted
and spurred by the grace NV the
Puritan's God, to ride the people
NV Tennessee a bug huntin-but
before you knowed anything about
it, you was lifted clear outen your
boots and spurs and flung on the
other side NV Jordin. Jes let 'em
lay thar. You'll never hav no
use for 'em. You've never heard
of the ride that Ikabod krane tuck
on Gunpowder, when the devil
got after him, amt you? Well,
he had a delightful time to what
you'll have eff you ever undertake
to make the trip you've got in
view. Did you suppose that the
people NV this State was agwlne
to hold still and let you and the
dirty little tools that You mite ap-
pint in each kounty tie 'em hard
and fast and pay for the ropes
they was tied with and the ex-
penses Nv the men while thay was
tyin it? Nary time. You stand
about as mulch chance to git to
Heaven as you do to- straddle the
free white men Nv this State
You amt wide enough in the britch.
You have been a tryin fur sum-
time to bully the people ov this
State, but you'll come out about
like the little bull did that got the
apple dumplins nocked outen him
by the steam kar. The people
amt afeerd NV you-you amt a
scarin nobody bad. They don't
mind your rppin and snortln
and eavortin no more than the
steem kar did the little bull when
he throwed up his tail, paved dirt,
bellered and squared hisself to
butt the brains outen the locomo-
tive. They aint agwine to let you
git the ballot box in your hams
You may sware to that. The
people NV this State was born tree
and hav bin in the habit NV havln
guverners that they wernt ashamed
/ NV. You and your squad was nev
er intended fur nuthin else but q
war measure. Nobody ever
! thought NV continuing you anc
your shebang in quiet, decent
peace times. Nuthin but a rebel
lion and gaul Dustin one at tha
could ever have histed you into
the Gubbernateral cheer, or liftet
your set outen the ashes. They
. never would 'ev been heerd u'
five miles from hom if it madden
ter bin fur the rebellion. Th'
, last one NV 'em ort to have beer
: for the rebellion and l believe th'
: most Nv 'em ,vas at fust. It's very
g difficult to tell which has been hist
, ed the highest-them or the mig
/. gers. The niggers is BARN Nv j
: the best and behavin themselve
: in mutch more genteeler manner
: You threaten in your proclama
7 shun eff you amt allowed to do jis
4 as you wanter. the military Wi
! take possession Nv the State.
i In the fust place you don't CON
d mand the military as fur as heer

u stous willing to swap you an
s yourn fur the military or any otf
O. er man. All your pious good e
