Brick Pomeroy on Brownlow.

Among those who feel themselves
called upon to compliment the mild
and gentle spirit who rules the distric
of Tennessee for the gentlemanly dis
patch to D. D. Forney, wherein he Gle
gantly applies to the President to th'
President of the United States the epi
thet of dead Dog" is the incorrigibl'
cuss," Brick Pomeroy, who dis
courses of the Governor after the fol
lowing fashion:

ernor Brownlow, of Tennessec--call'
President Johnson a Dead Dog. II SO
Brownlow is brave enough to attack
him. And if johnson is is Il dead dog
who would not rather be in his place
than to bear the name Of Brownlow
the reeking, cowardly, red-mouthed
radical, lechcrous, treacherous, rantine
praying, disappearing carved lava y, Of
hell, now sitting as Governor of Ten
nessee? In all the annals of sinners
whelps, hypocritcs, lnnatics, black,
guards, and bood-loving hyenas OF
humanity, we know not one so satura

sarcasm with name Of man. who is
Brownlow? He is u reckless Radical
adventurer. lie is an ordained minis
ter of the gospel. He is an illcgitl-
mate child of hell, let loose on specula'
ton. He is Il blasphcmous old tyranl
a drunken politician n dishonest
Governor-a bigger traitor at heart
than ever was John Brown, Thad. Ste
vens, or any other Of that corps OF
Union hatcrs. He is minister with
out religion. A preacher without a
convert. A Governor without brains.
He has the tongue of bcdlamlte OF
hell-a heart without mercy--he is an
adventurer without bravery-a rascal
without discretion--a libertine without
taste and decency-a sinner without
the least show for heaven--a man
with the heart of a tiend--a brute by
instinct-a ruflian by naturc--a black
guard by professional hypocrlte cer'
tain of hell--a foul, nasty. reeking sore
on the political mass Of corruption to
which he belongs--a stisma-a dis
gracc-an insult--a hy-word and a re
proach to the list Of Governors OF
American States. When he prays it is
to the devil When he singsit is TO the
drunken rawlings of tiend. When he
loves it is to damn. When he loves ii
is to destroy. When he speaks it is to
insult. When he interieres it is to
blacken. When he smiles it is to hide
some of the deep and diaholical vii
lainies his blasphemous soul is ever
planning. There is not devil in Phl-
to's dominions but is more OF Il true
Christian-thcre is not an ourang ou-
tang in the world but is more OF a
statcsman-not pismire on the pral-
rie but who is more Of a warrior
there is not q robber in prison but is
more honest--there is not beast IN
the forest but is more lovable--there is
not murderer in the land but is more
innoccnt--thcre is not 4 fish woman in
all the Billingsgate district but is less
Of a blackguard-therc is not a lost
soul in hell but is more of a saint
there is not name in the history OF
traitors hut is more patriotic--thcrc is
not a warty, swcaty, Shiny toad in the
dungeons of the world but is swectcr,
purer, and more attractive than Parson
Governor Blackguard Brownlow, the
ranting, lunatic, Radical whclp of the
devil now acting as Governor OF Ten
nessee. Should Butler, Stanton and
Brownlow reach hell the same day we
should have the devil on earth at once,
for either of the above named cXcres-
cenccs are more fit to rob, torture and
destroy than all the satanic iiends OF
hell acting in concert
