A TENNESSEE Radicals definition of
"loyalty" is, one who, having encouraged
tho rebellion, is now willing to commit per-
jury and denounce those who engaged in it.
We have an illustration in the person of
VIM. B. Stokes, who openly approved the
course of Gov. Harris and denounced Lin
coin; but who now maintains that all who
did the same thing-not in duplicity, but in
good faith-shall be hung We have an il
lustration in Secretary Fletcher, now acting
Governor, who applied to JEFF Davis for a
commission TO raise a rebel regiment, but
who now says that those guilty of like Of
fence, though willing to accept the result and
support the Government in future, should
be disfranehised, and war Of determination
waged against them. We have another IL
Illustration in Arnell, the Confederate cobler,
who subscribed to equip company to make
war upon the old flag" but who now seeks
10 disfranchise the very neigh6or boys he
aided in putting in the field. This is Radi-
cal loyalty, with one additional requirement
that is, that man shall perjure himself
in order to hold office; the result of which
will be to confer upon the Radicals, in per-
petuity, all the offices.

The events of the last three weeks give rise to
serious apprehensions that a large portion of our
people have not sufficiently recovered from the
demOralizng effects of the late rebellion to enable
them to appreciate the blessings of peace-that
their passions have not sufficiently cooled to
enable them to avoid relapse into anarchy or
military rule.-Proeiamati ION ofthe GoUe,Ror.
What event of the last two weeks does the
Governor refer to? The proclamation has
reference simply to the breaking up of the
Legislature. That body was composed of
"loyal" men-elected by none but loyaP'
voters-during the pendeny of the war, when
Gov. Brownlow and his friends had every
thing their own way. How then can the
action of any part of such body be consid-
cred as evidence that " large portion of our
people have not sufficiently recovered from
the demoralizing effects Of the late rebellion
to enable them to appreciate the blessings of
peace ?n 1t is the sentiment of the great
body of the people of Tennessee that the
Conservative members of the Legislature
have done right in refusing to have dictator
made of the acting Governor but, right or
wrong, those usually denominated rebels
are not responsible for the action of body
ofmen elected without their voice. and over
whom they have had no control

To BE loyal, in the Radical sense, you
must FIRST denounee those whom you en-
courased to so into the war. Second, you
must maintain that a negro is as good as a
white man, and entitled to greater privileges
than every other class, spt the Radicals.
Third, you must believe that the Freedmen's
Bureau is very necessary and proper in
stitution and should take precedence of all
the civil authorities of the State. Fourth,
you must denounce Andrew johnson as a
traitor to Massachusetts and the Radical
place-seekers. Fifth, you must be "eviscerated
Of your manhood and become a fit CON-
panion for Fletcher, Duggan, Stokes, Arnell
& Co. Sixth, you must be capable of TAX
ing the test oath" though you are commit
ing perjury te the knowledge Of al! your for
mer acquaintances and neighbors. As a
natural consequence, the Radicals can find
few loyal" men in Tennessee.

4 NEW and curious use Of electricity is
now made in the Paris sewers. There, as is
well known, the rats swarm by millions.
Wires 100 meters long, insulated by glass
feet from the ground, and connected with a
strong galvanic battery, are spread through
these subterranean walks. Little pieces Of
roast meat are attached TO these wires at
short distances, and the rats, by nibbling at
the bait, bring down the galvanic shock with
terrific power upon their bodies. Death is
instantaneous, and the morsel, moreover re-
mains almost intact, ready TO destroy other
victims

become "loyal." When they comply with

THE test of loyalty with the Radical press
is to, denounce the President. The surest
evidence of disloyalty is 20 praise him.
Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-03-07

WE publish in another column the criti-
cism of FoRNEY, I'D. d." editor of the Wash
ington Chronicle, on the Convention recently
held by the conservative masses of Tennes-
seeans in this city. We are happy to learn
from so impartial a source, that it was
almost a duplicate " of the one held the same
day at Washington, and which was addressed
by the President"
The article from the Chronicle has several
interesting features. First, it is interesting
as showing that the conservative masses of
Tennessee, without regard to past differences,
are in perfect accord with the President
and it follows, therefore, that if he is loyal,
they are equally so. Second, it is interesting
rs showing the attitude in which two gentle
men, claiming to be representatives from
Tennessee, have voluntarily placed them
selves, rather than forego any longer the
pleasure Of pressing the springing cushions
provided for occupants of seats in Congress.
Third, il is interesting in the fair exhibit it
makes of the utter recklessness of Radical
organs when seeking to belle and misrepre-
sent the South, and in showing how expert
many of them have become in condensing
the greatest number of falschoodS into the
smallest amount of space.

Gov. FLErcHER and Secretary Broxnlow
are laboring to make loyal people out of
the citizens of Tennessee. Their process is
. simple one-they propose to disfranchise
all except those who wish to hold the Offices.
II is the " Cobbler's Secret" over again,
A waggish cobbler once in Rome,
Put forth proclamation
That he'd be willing to disclose.
For due cp1sideration,
secret which the cobbiing world
Could i'll afford to lose
The way to make in one short day
A hundred pair Of shoes.
From every quarter to the sight
There ran a thousand fellows
Tanners. cobblers. boot-men. shoe-men,
jelly leather. seliers--
All redolent Of beer and smoke.
And cobbler's wax and hides;
Each fellow pays his thirty pence.
And calls it cheap besides
2ilencel the cobbler enters.
And casts around his eyes;
Then curls his lip-the rogue then frowns
And then looks wondrous wise,
My friends" he says. tbs simple quite,
The plan that propose
And every one of you, think,
Might learn it if you chose.
"a good sharp knife is all you need
In carrying out my plan;
So easy is il, none can fail,
Let him be child or man.
To make hundred pair of shoes,
Just go back 10 your shops,
And take hundred pair of boots,
And cut of all the tops!
Daily union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1865-1866, 1866-03-07
thus spoke

The Constitution of the United States. and the
treaties and laws made in pursuance thereof. are
now acknowledged to be the permanent law in
this whole country. Whoever therefore is true
to these principles as recognized, is loyal as
far as that term has any legitimate force
) under our institutions. This is the only kind of
loyalty the Constitution itself requires. In any
other view, everything pertaining to restoration.
far as regards the great body of the people in
at least eleven States of the Union, is but making
a promise to the ear to be broken to the hopes.
All. theref re- who acceptAhe issue of the war in
good faith, and come up TO the test required by the
Constitution, are now loyal. however they may
have heretofore been.
By striking coincidence, at the Conven-
ton held in this city on the very day when
the President and Mr.. STEPHENS were defiin-
ing loyalty, the Hon. EDWIN II. Ewing,
one of the clearest thinkers and ablest law
yers in the State or nation, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions
Resoired, That in the opinion of this Conven-
ton, loyalty to the Government of the United
States and loyalty to the State of Tennessee, con-
siSts in present submission to the laws and con-
stitutions of both. and determination heartily
and honestly 10 support and maintain the same IN
future on the part of citizens of both.
Resoiued, That special pardons by the Presi-
dent. and general pardOns under the PrOclama-
ton of Amnesty, restore the subjects of them to
all their pre-existing rights as citizens of the
United States, with the exception of such rights
as are excluded by said pardons.
| Rssoired, That loyalty in its meaning looks not
to the past, but to the present and the future.
| Resolved. That any other meaning given to the
term loyalty" is not Warranted, and is an abuse
of the term, and is generally introduced for mis-
| chieyous purposes.
Substantially they all agree that loyalty
is attachment to the Constitution, support of
| the Government, and obedience to the laws,
and that there is and can be no other test.
| Their definitions exclude all evidence of past
disloyalty when estimating the present sta
tus of the citizen Does he hold the Consti-
tuition to be the supreme law of the land
Does he support the Government establish
ed hereunder ? Does he obey the laws en-
acted under its authority? When the sworn
word and daily conduct give this pledge and
guaranty, there is no power which can right
fully modest or make him afraid
When the public sense shall sufficiently
recover its soberness, the employment of men
who, for selfish or sectional purposes, make
any other test for loyalty will be gone, and
the words of the satirical rhymer will be
recognized as fully applying to them:
"a man may cry church church! at every word.
With no more piety than other people;
| The daw s not reclloned religious bird
Because he keeps cawing round the steeple. "
