Stripes.
Should another conflict Of arms be force
upon the country-as | honestly believe
will, by the combined efforts Of Norther
traitors and Southern rebels-the work {
reconstruction, after the conflict is over, vii
be easy. A Surveyor General, with a deput
and land Office for each county in the rebe
States, and few bay0ncts 70 guard them, ar
all that will be required.
The loyal men Of Tennessee win allow M

patches shall speak for him:

will recollect, avowed the very principles
which the President is now making war
Exactly one year from the day wheh he
telegraphed the foregoing, he sent thefol-

facts stated IN his telegram do not warrant the
interference Of the military authority. The ad-
miuistration Of the laws and the preservation Of
the peace IN Nashville belong properly to the
state authorities. and the duty Of the United
States forces IS not 70 interfere in any way in the
controversy between the political authorities Of
state, and Gen. Thomas viii strictly abstain from
any Interference between them"
Atthe same time was refused the neces-
sary military aid at Nashville TO protect the
Legislature and its legal officers from mob
violence, the President, soon thereafter, or
dered the Government authoritses at New
Orleans 10 use the military to ard an infuri-
atcd rebel a0J to break up a Union conven-
ton Of peaceablc and loyal men, which has
resulted in the cruel murder and wounding
Of hundreds Of loyal white and colored men.
This feast was intended for NdShrlie, and
was only prevented by the prompt action of
admitting Tennessee to her original position
IN the Federal Union. But loyal men Of
Nashville and Of all parts Cf the State. are
still enyironed with danger The rebel pa
pers Of the State all encourage violence, and
resistance Of law.
Ex-Goy. NELL S. BRowE, in a recent
rebel meeting in Nashville, is reported by
the rebel papers to have cautioned the Radi-
Gals Of Tennessee-meaning the Union men
to beware, and cited the case of ROBES
PIERRE and associates at the time of the
French revolution. Having no hope Of pro-
lection from the President, in the event of
an attack from a rebel mob, / shall look
with confidence to the Northwestern States
to come to our rescue, as soon as attacked by
the miniOns Of JEFF. DAVIS and ANDREW
JOHNSON. And if further developments
seem 20 justify it, l will call out the loyal
militia Of the State, and call upon the Legis-
lature to arm and equip them. We must
and will meet these traitors and sustain the
State and national, or fall with
our faces to the foe
/ trust the loyal Southern Convention, to
be held in Philadelphia the Sd Of Septem-
ber will have a full representation in Ten
nessee. The Washington IutelligeRcer, Pres
ident JOHNsoN's organ, says the Convention
Of Southern Unionists is called to assemble
in Philadelphia because there is no place IN am

Be tolerated"
This is the old familiar style. Really the
world has not moved much. In 1856, FIRE.
MONT speakers were not tolerated" in GER
tain States. In 1858 these States would not
tolerate" anti-Lecompton speakers. In
] $50 they would not tolerate" the election
Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The consequence
was that in 1868 thesepeople had 20 tolerate"
a mass convention called by GRANT at Vicks-
burg in 1864 similar meetings Of SHER-
MANS men in Atlanta and Savannah, and in
1865 a grand convention in the neighbor-
hood of Appomattox. Are these same States
anxious 10 renew the experiment? If so,
there are a million veteran soldiers who are
ready TO eight it out on that line" until |
lawful assemblages Of Union men are tole-
rated on every acre Of ground belonging to |
.he United States-NcC Orleans not even ex-
,epted.
Who are most bitterly opposed to the |
present Radical Congress JEFF, DAVIS is |
lead out against it. RoBT. t. LEE, BEAU
REGARD, BRAGG, KIRBY SMITH, and all the |
whipped Generals, Colonels and Captains in |
he late rebel army are against Il ALEX. |
II. STEPHENS, all ex-rebel Congressman and |
'ebel Legislators are against it. ANDREW |
JOHNSON and all his rebel Democratic sup |
'orters are against it. The men in the South, |
Who conscriptcd Union men, who burned |
iown Union dwellings, robbed the Union /
antilles of all they had, and made war 4
iideous along our borders, are against it. /
The sneaking kissing Northern copperheads |
Who crceps after Southern rebels for the sake /
If social position, or pecnniary reward, are |
gainst it. The Northern and Southern
Democracy who are still bent upon the over
hrow Of the Government and the restora-
ion Of slavery, are against it.
Who are in favor of the Radical Congress-
md its bold and patriotic course? Every /
Radical lover Of his country North and |
south, are in favor of it. Every uncondi-
ional Union man, who stands by his coun-
ry in opposition 10 another war, is in favor
# it. Every mother that has lost son;
very wife that has given her husband;
very one who visits the sacred graves that

With our brave and patriotic Congress- and
will not be turned against that body, as il is
low the only hope of the country. Every
clergyman and every good man in the
hurches, who believes that we have had
trifo enough and wishes no more demorali-
alton, stand by Congress, and pray for its
uccess and preservation. Every man in
