Brick Pomeroy on Brownlow.

|
called upon to compliment the mild
and gentle spirit who rules the district
Of Tennessee for his gentlemanly dis
patch to ID. ID. Forney, wherein he
elegantly applies to the President OF
the United States the epithet of "Dead
Dog" is that incorrigible "cuss,"
Brick Pomeroy, who discourses of the
Governor after the following fashion:
Low Parson ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Brownlow--M Minister Brownlow--Gov-
erner Brownlow Of Tennessee-calls
| President johnson dead dog. If so
Brownlow is brave enough to attack
him. And if johnson is dead dog,
who would not rather be in his place
than to bear the name Of Brownlow.
tho rocking, cvwardly, red-mouthed,
radical, lecherous, treacherous, ran
ting, praying, disappearing carved
lava of hell, now sitting as Governor
of Tennessee? In al the annals of
sinners, whelps, hypocrites, lunatics,
blackguards, and blood-loving hyenas
of humanity, we know not one so
saturated with hate and birthstone as
this lantern jawed structure dignifed
in sarcasm with the name of man.
Who is Brownlow? He is reckless
radical adventurer. He is an ordain-
cd minister of the gospel. He is an
illegitnate child Of hell, let loose on
speculation. He is blasphemous old
tyrant-a drunken politician and
dishonest Governor-a bigger traitor
at heart than ever was John Brown,
Thad. Stevens, or any other Of that
corps of Union-haters. He Is a min
lster without religion. A preacher
without convert. A governor with
out brains. He has the tongue OF a
bedlamite of hell-a heart without
mercy-he is an adventurer without
bravery rascal without discretion
libertine without taste and decency-
sinner without the least show for
heaven man with tho heart of a
tiend--a brute by instinct-a ruffian
by nature-a blackguard by profession
IA hypocrite certain of hell-a foul
nasty, rocking sore on the political
mass of corruption to which he be-
longs-a stigma "a disgrace-an in
sult-a byword and reproach to the
list Of Governors of American States.
When no prays it is to the devil,
When he sings it is the drunken ra-
wings of a tiend. When he indorses
it is to damn. When he loves it is
to destroy. When he speaks it is to
insult. When he enterteres it is to
blacken. When he smiles it is to hide
some of the deep and diabolical Will
ainies his blasphemous soul is ever
planning. There is not a devil in
I1uto'o donaiuions but is more OF
true Christian-t there is not an ourang
outang in the world hut is more Of q
Statesman--there is not a pismire on
the prairie but is more of a warrior
there is not robber in prison but is
more honest-there is not beas. in
the forest but is more lovable-there
is not murderer in the land but is
more innocent-there is not fshwo-
man in all the bilingsgate district
but is less Of blackguard-there is
not lost soul in hell but is more of
saint--there is not.a name in the his
tory Of traitors but is more patriotic
there is not warty, sweaty, Shiny
toad in all the dungeons of the world
but is sweeter, purer, and more at
tractive than Parson Governor Black
guard Brownlow, the ranting, lunatic,
radical whelp of the devil now acting
as Governor of Tennessee. 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 excresconces are
more fit to rob, torture and destroy
than all the satanic fends Of hell act
ing in concert.
