THE ARCH PRECIPITATOR IN TEN
NEsSEE-FACTS WORTHY OF RE
ENEEyTBRANCE.
| Correspondence Of the Union and American.
EAST TENNESSEE, August 2, l8GG.-Thi,
letter propose 10 devote exclusively to one
Of our East Tennessee politicians-one, who
has, perhaps, exerted more influence in thi:
division of the State than any other person
of his capacity, in it.
He has ever been a protested Unionist
though down to the beginning of the late
war, one of the fercest and most bitter de.
nouncers Of Northern policy, Northern
preachers and Northern piety. Previous tc
Mr.. LINCoLN's election, his infammatory
publications against the Abolitionsts and
New England policy did much to "fre the
Southern heart, arouse their feelings against
the North, prepare them for an approach
ing rupture, and convince them that in the
conflict, which would inevitably result, the
South would triumph.
In published letter, of May 8, 1860, to
one Of his Northern correspondents IN
speaking of the unwarranted interference OF
the Northern people, and especially of
Northern preachers and pietists, ithslavery,
he uses the following indignant and threat
ening language:
'Why urge on, goad the Southern States to
disunion, when destruction will fall alike
on both North and South? If this Union
is dissolyed-which may God in his mercy
preventive must of necessity be engulphed
in the whirlpool Of European wars, and 90
down for ever as a republic.
"But sir, the South can in two months,
enter into an alliance with either England
or France, commercial and political, often
sive and defensive, and in either case, it will
be utter ruin to the Northern States of this
Confederacy. England and France want
our rice, tobacco and cotton, but they don't
want the manufactures of New England. An
alliance between England and the Southern
States will break the existing tariff system,
discrimination in favor Of New England
manufactures, as rope Of sand.
81, sir, lcould tdror an ailiaace ,rih France
as a means of more efiectually furnishing
and starving outthe Abolitionistso of the North.
The far seeing monarch of the French would
unite with US on our OWa terms as it would
afford him an opportunity to crush the COM
merce and manufactures of Old England,
and make her feel that she is dependent up
on her ancient enemy, as well as atone for
her villainOus treatment of his illustriOus
uncle, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Dissolve
this Union, you infamous villains and we
shall make this proposition at once to LOUIS
NAPOLEON, a most sagacious monarch, and
he would quarter at New Orleans 100000
and at Chesapeake 200, 900 more;
we would command the Mississippi valley.
whip the Northern States into our Southern
and then turn upon the New
England States and cause the hurricane of
civil war to rage and sweep from MASON and
DNON's line TO the cod fisheries of Maine,
until we would extinguish the last Abolition
foothold on the continent of America. Face
to face, knife to knife, steel to steel,
pike to pike, we would meet you, and as we
would cause you to bleed at every pore, ne
rouid make goa regret IN the 0goaiesof death that
you had ever felt any concern for the African
race
" Sir, if the fanatical, wicked and Internal
course pursued by you and your unprin-
cipled associates Is continued, THE RE
SUIT WILL BE, as l have said, and you
and your children will live to see it.
Garry on your war, if you choose death
rather than life, and nee rW stain creTy sJrdmp
IN The South, nth yours and oar ouH blood, and
with the vengeance of an Infatuated foe we
will be upon you in the North, at the hour
IF midnight, and as long as a lucifer match
IAN be found, we will burn up yoursubstance."
Surely, Mr.. Editor the hotel incendiary
who created such a sensation in New York,
Turing the war; must have been pupil of
he author Of the above sentiment
Well, the aggrcssions did not cease, and
he predicted war came sooner than was an
.icipated No alliance with France could
be effected The South was left 20 graTple
with her mighty antagonist without an
ally. Heroically did she sustain the I'M
,qual contest for four fearful years, but nary
swamp did our paper hero stain with his
blood. He became a peripatetic menagerie,
exhibiting himself for pay, to the very peo-
pie against whom he had pronounced such
errible phillipics, and threatened with such
trey vengence.
Now when his countrymen have laid
Town their arms, acknowledged themselves
ranquished, and returned to their allegiance,
ne is clamorous for hci. blood--he denies |
hem the privileges Of freemen. To-day he |
S the most unrelenting and vindictive per-
ecutor ofthe great majority of his fellow
,itizens; to-day he is doing more TO retard |
he restoration Of good will and kindly in |
ercourse between the antagonistic sections;
o-day he is doing more to perpetuate des-
,otism born and nurtured under military /
to-day he is doing more to con-
-ert Republican Government into an ire
ponsible olligarchy, than any one man in
II the broad limits of the rebel States, $50
allied"
Such is the man who rules, aye rules the /
nee proud commonwealth Of Tennes-
through an imbecile, truculent
md venal Legislature has seized upon the
liberties Of heroic population, and spurps
hem beneath his feet.
In the immortal words Of Madame Ro- /
AND as she stood upon the guillotine, well |
nav We repeat, "Oh Liberty, Liberty, /
What crimes are perPetusted in thy name
