mont spcAksrs we're no, tolerated in certain
STATES. In 1858 these States would not 'tol-
crate anti Lecompton speakers. In 1860

MAS convention called BY Grant at Ncks-
burg; in 1864 similar meetings Of Sherman .
men in Atlanta and Savannah, and in 1865 .
srnd Convention in the neiehborhooa OF

CONGRESS AND ITS ENEMIES.
And thus he enumerates the friends and
enemies Of the present Congress:
"Who are most bitterly opposed to. tho
present Radical Congress7 JEFF. Davis is
dead out against it. Robert E. Lee, Beaure-
gard, Bragg, Kirby Smith and all the whipped
Generals, Colonies and Captains in the late
rebel army are against it. Alexander d.
Stsphens, all x-rebel congressman and reb-
and all his rebel Democratic supporters are
against il The men in the South, Who con-
scripted Union men, who burned down Union
dwellings, robbed Union families of al they
had, and made var hideous along onr Dor
ders, are against il. The sneaking, hissing
Northern Copperhead, Who creeps after
Southern rebels for the sake of social posi-
ton or pecuniary reward, is against it. The
Northern and Southern Democracy, Who are
still bent upon the overthrow Of the Govern.
ment and the restoration Of slavery, are
against it, Every guerrilla chief, highway
robber and whisky bioat Of the rebel army
is against it. Every traitor who edited reb>
ell paper during the war, and 1t its breaking
out, is against IT,
Who are in favor Of Radical Congress,
and its bold and patriotic coursey Every
radical lover Of his country, North and South,
is in favor Of il. Every unconditional Union
man, who stands by HE country in opposition
to another war, Is in favor Of il. Essfy man
who prefers the loss Of the negro TO thst oil
the Union, ia in favor of il. Every mother
that has lost son; every wife that has given
her husband: every one who visits the sacred
graves that lie all over the land, and on ever,

and sorrow think and speak Of their losses,
are with our brave and patriotic Congress,
and will not be turned against that body, as il
is now the only hope of the country Every
caergyman, and every good man in the
churches, who believes that We have had sriie
enough and wishes no more decentralization
| stands by Congress, and prays for it's success
| and preservation. Every man in and out Of
the church, who thinks moro OF Law and or
der, and of our Government, than he does oil
office and spoils, is for Congress. Every man
not IN the Johnson Rebel Conspiracy to bring
on another rebellion. is for Congress, and
will stand by that body to the last. =
.'IsGRArITuBEf AND "DiGsirY."
He then meets and refutes the charge oI
''ingratitude'' that has been brought against
him by the friends of johnson. speaks of the
rebel threat that johnson would set aside the
loyal Government of Tennessee, and put ons
OF his own satraps over it, and dares him te
do SO. without subjecting himselfto impeach-
ment and expulsion from office.
| In reference TO the want Of "dignity'
charged against him for his dead dog" tel
gram TO the Clerk ofihe Senate, he makes ar
amusing and most striking contrast between
his own dignity and that Of Andy johnson.
Il WARNING vosrsY OF sxEp.
With regard to the intentions of rebels i
they ATTAINED power, he writes this warning
II feel CALLED upon 70 warn the honest
loyal masses, against matured scheme oil
the Johnson>C opperhead leaders to have the
Government pay them for al the negroes
they lost by the war. Not more than one in
ten of the loyal men. South, ever owned any
slaves or desired to own them, and it would BE-
downright robbery 70 tax nine laboring mer
TO pay for the slaves Of one gea,lemqn. A
direct lax is the only mo lie By which the
Government can pay for the emancipated
slaves; and it is better tist one loyal slave
owner suffer than that nine honest laborers
equally loyal, suffer to make his losses
good.
Most of the men now in the Copperhexd
ranks in the South, are men, who expect
when the Southern States are represented in
Congress, that they will be compensated for
their negroes. Not . few Of them think that
people can afford to pay . direct tax to liqui-
date the war debt, through period of sever
alyears, but tax them to pay for four millions o.
slaves, owned by small number OF nabobs
and original secessionists, and they will NOT
gesthrough with tax payins in life time.
''Io the Union masses, the honest working
voters, | say in all cando-, watch the men
who advocate this paying for their lost ne
groes. Ii the GoYeinmel will tax the slave
owners alone 10 pay for the negroes, | 20 toi
IT, bat shall never consent tn tax men 10
! pny for negroes who never owned any, and
| never desired To own any. Shareholders got
| up the big dance in ls61-they continued the
| trolic for four years-and they are the very
men to pay the fiddler p
/ TBg LEGISLATIVE AND PRETENDED LoYALsTs
| A brief review of the history of the pres
ent Legislature of Tennessee, which has in
deed made glorious record, follows:
Then the Governor warns against those
Iennesseeans, rebels during the war, mem>
beers of rebel vigilance and military commit
tees, denouncers of Lincoln and Supporter
OF Mcclellan, who pretend to be special 10y

his usurpstions.
