1t will be seen that all of his utterances,
even to very late date, look to Kidding
the country of the negro in the event he
should become free.
NEGROES SHOULD BE wHIPPED-DEFENDs
sLAvE-owNERS AGAINST THE CHARGE
OF CRUELTY.
In his debate with the Rev. Mr.. Pryne
he says:
"The Scriptures look to the correction of
servants, and really enjoin it, as they do in
the case of children. l esteem it the duty
| of Christian masters to feed and clothe their
negroes well-to work them well, that is,
constantly but in moderation, and in case
of disObedience to whip we'll. And upon
this principle we proceed in the South. l
may be inquired Of to say whether | APP
prove the cruelty exercised By masters and
eVerseers in the South, and the starvation
and nakedness displayed there, and whether
or not the Scriptures tolerate this. / have to
say inreply that this cruelty, starvation and
nakedness does not exist in the South, but
in the disordered imaginations of abolition
preachers, travellers, and slandefers, who
pass hurriedly through the South, getting
up materials for book-making."
HIS OPINION OF THE JEWS.
In his debate with the Rev. Mr. Pryne,
the Governor gave utterance to his contempt
for the Hebrew race as follows:
"The only denunciations the Saviour
ever uttered were against the doctors and
lawyers, the ministers and expounders of
the Jewish code of ecclesiastical law. For
this he was crucifed. And the Jewish an
ti-slavery gamblers, who put him to death,
divided out his garments, as you recollect,
casting lots for the same. And from that
day TO this, whenever you meet with one
Of these abolition Jews, he is engaged in
the clothing business, either retailing or
wholesaling ready made clothing.
But to make the fact still more clear,
namely, that the Hebrews did deal in slaves
of the negro race, see the Book of Joel,
third chapter, where We learn that the peo-
pie of Tyre and Sidonia sold their little
ones at :he drinking houses for wine
separating infants from their mothers. |
claim that the statutes of the Southern States
are more lenient than the laws of Moses,
! because they protect the slaves against these
lsraelitish cruelties.
THE GOVERNOR ENDORSES Mr.. ETHERIDGE.
In CHS book" published in 1862, the
Governor says, under date Of g. Nashville,
March 20":
Night before last | heard a speech
from Etheridge, delivered before an atten-
anHtopao of fyvaIva 6ftaay, ht,nlroI
persons He spoke over TWO hours.
| never heard him in a regular
stump speech before. | saw at once the
| secret of his great success before the peo-
pie. He is the peoples man, and keeps up
the interest all the time. He was severe
on the leaders of the rebellion, but not
more so than they deserved and his blows
met.with hearty response from the crowd
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
On the 23d of March, 1861, Brownlow
declared himself candidate for Governor,
and in an address to the people of Tennes-
see, he held the following language:
"Our fathers, declaring their indepen-
dence, threw off the oppression of the
mother country, and summed up their
6AlCF ahNSS a. AdA dtiOl' NlLhOul AG plC5Ell-
tation.' We have again in our midst a
bogus form of government forced upon
the cotton States by an organized band Of
revolutionists, whose very foundation is
that Of taxation without representation
What a comment upon the policy of his
own administration
We submit the above authentic and care
fully verified extracts from the record of
Gov. BroBnlow to a rejecting and patriotic
people, and ask them to contrast them with
his present position By his own mouth,
as a minister Of the Gospel and a protested
servant Of the Most High, he is proven to
have held and taught, with an industry
and yehemence unrivalled by any preacher
OF politician in the entire country, the fol-
lowing propositions, which we character
iZe az
BROwNLOW's LIFELONG CONVICTIONS.
l. Slavery was ordained and expressly
authorized by Deity.
,. In accordance with this decree Of God,
it not only fought to be perpetuated," but
would be to the end Of time
g. The enslavement of Africans and the
descendants of Africans in America was in
perfect accord with the Divine will, and
was in no material respect different from
that established in the beginning of the
world, and maintained in all ages to the
present day.
4. The responsibility Of the introduction
of slavery in America rests directly with the
Northern people and their progenitors.
5. The constitution of the United States
guaranteed to the owners of slaves the
rights of property in them.
6. To maintain this right he Brown
low was ready and willing to make war
like alliance with France or any other for
eign power-to separate from the Northern
States - declare commercial non-inter-
course-make war and apply the tortch to
every household from Mason and Dixon's
line northward-to have Tennessee go with |
South Carolina and the rest, even after Sc
cession-and to bring upon the country
deluge of bloody horrors far exceeding any
recorded in history. All this to sustain
and perpetuate slavery in Tennessee and |
the other Southern States.
7. Vehement denial of the truth Of the
declaration of independence, that all men
are created equal"
s. When it came to the worst, and despite
his efforts to prevent emancipation, he
to it only on the ground that it
would punish Rebels and extinguish the
negro race from the face of the earth.
6. The negro being free, he desired to
send him off to himself and separate him
entirely from his early home and local at
tachments, and colonize him to himself;
holding him as a subject colony, and not as
4 citizen Of the Union or Of the States.
These extracts might be multiplied in
since there is not an exceptional
expression throughout his career, until
within the last few months, Of his views Of
he rightfulness Of slavery, and his utter
to an equality between the races,
either social or political. But these are
uficipuf 70 satisfv the most obtuse Of his |
