I ID It's way. The only approximately successful
imitation that we have ever seen is that of num-
4 ber Of people In Tennessee calling themselves the
/" Union Central Committee and the "German
Onion Central Committee.n These persons have
lately addressed to the President and to the Com
gressionat Committee on Reconstruction memo
rial which may be concise.y rendered into an
anticimax not very far behind that Of the juvenile
rhetoricsn aforesaid, in absurdity and inconse-
quence. Rightly interpreted, IT simply means:
!" some people like liberty very much some peo-
pie love law but as for us, give us Office and the
spois, oridespotism and a military government
In the opinion of these patriotic gentlemen
liberty and law may be very good things; but
liberty and law are good only for the loyalp
gentlemen who constitute the two central com
mittees and the Union party, par ercellence Of
Tennessee. These amiable and worthy gentlemen
have undertaken the pleasing and patriotic task Of
governing the State ia perpetuity; but very much
to their disgust they discoyer that the majority Of the
people contemplate dispensing with their valuable
servces. The people Of Tennessee, like she people
ofali Of the other Southern States anxious tore
i sume their place in the Federal Union. They wish
toregan their vested rights and their Constitutional
4 privileges. 1t might be supposed that the two
committees which assume to indicate their polit-
cal views and desires, by the use of the term
\" Unon,' as distinctive title, would gladly lend
all their assistance to the consummation of this
purpose. Quite the contrary. Their Unionism is
of the sucls a non nceYsdo kind. Their loyalty
is the light which shines by not shining.
Rather would they stay out of the Union
forever. these intensely loyal" creatures,
than return in the company Of pardoned !" "rebelsn
and ainnested Gonfederates. Nee tak duIais-
