The condition of the people Of the once.
proud State Of Tennessee is one Of misery
too deep for words to express. Instead Of
the bright bud Of promise which once SO
beautifully began to expand into a fun-blown
flower Of prosperity and exalted social STAN
dard, we now find the BanefuI aloes spring
ing up from the footprints Of men who walk
with ruthless tread over the possessions Of
those they never could hope to equal in any
thing appertaining to a gentleman or a
sch1lar. In the place of statesmen for law
makers, we are cursed with vindictive and
interruptions knayes that dare do anything
and everything in order to accomplish the
filthy work which a deprayed and tyraRni
cal misereant could hatch from diseased
brain orsouless body. a few men, or devils,
have, thieflike, crept into Office, and have
arrogated TO themselves the right to rob, hui
initiate and disgrace the toiling thousands of
this already oyertazed and impoverished
people; and in order to elothe their damna-
bic deeds with faint shadow of justice, are
layishing money upon a few tools who are a
disgrace to the press Of the country, because
their columns are open to the mahifold lies
that are being daily told upon class Of citi-
zens that would do honor to any country m
der the broad canopy Of heaven. Base, Sian.
derous lies are put in print purporting to
chronicle an enormity Of crime; Of men be-
ing driven from their homes, and even muir
dered, solely On account of their fidelity to
the Federal Union by unreeonstructed rebels
If q member of the radical side of the leg
islaturs desires to have bin passed. and
especially if it be one looking to the fur
ther oppression of the conservatives, thai
moment the hirelingsof the press commence
the publication of series of letters tina
tell of cold-blooded murders, plots Of assas
sination, etc, but in every instance fail t.
diYulge the authors names, for fear they
would be most foully dealt with by mer
whom it is necessary to keep in subsection
How Iongwo are to be ground into the dus
by such men as compose three fourths o.
the Assembly Of this State is yet bidder
within the teeming future, but we,ar no
without hope-the grasp Of tyranny and tn,
blistering lies of radical press viii sooner
or later succumb to truth and honesty anC
then when we are no longer manaeled o.
environed by the acknowledgements and meshe
of the radical net, we can look back and a
least comprehend the miseries that hav,
been endured The menials who are hedg
ing US around with arbitrary, unconstitu
tional laws, like the little manliness the,
once possessed, win most assuredIy pas
away; they cannot bind those who are t
follow; and while they sink back and hid
their faces from honest men their deeds o
darkness will cling,to herguilty conscience
like a leech to its food and though the mark
of shame which they have made across tn
once untarnished escutcheon Of Tennessee
may be fully erased, in time to come thei
names viii be all that attaches to the low
vulgar epithets of the hour.

THE DEVILS APREAoHING.-W. >. smith,
a few days ago, and when the negro fran
chise bill was before the lower house of the
legislature, obtained the floor and made a
huge speech in favor of extending the fran
chise to freedmen, in fact he turned to the
galleries, which were packed with a horde Of
hurley bucks and unwashed wenches, and
so electrified them with his eloquenee ~ that
it became necessary for the chairman to
have their demonstrations Of delight put a
stop-toa During his remarks, he was seized
with momentary flush Of Inconsistencies,
and actually appealed to the good sense of
the honorable legislators, and admonished
them that it was time to practice a little con
sistency Will the gentlemen from Harde-
man, soca5led, allow US to refresh his loyal
brain2 When W J. Smith came here last
summer one year ago, he publicly declared,
while attempting to make a speech in the old
court room to a few who were foolish enough
to go to hear him, that he came here for the
purpose Of ascertaining the views of this
people, that he was their representative, al
though they had no hand IN his election, that
he would do as they desired, and that he was
in favor Of awhile mans government Don
