MILITIA COMING.

The official organ of the Brownlow party
informs us that militia are to be sent into
this county. If this information is correct,
our people should not swerve one iot from
the straightforward path which they have
been pursuing ever since the war closed
attend to their own peaceful pursuits and
little or no trouble need be apprehended.
If that portion of the State Guards which
are to be thrust upon as for no cause on
earth are even halfcivilized and but poorly
disciplined they will be convinced in less
than a week after their arrival that their
commander-in-chief had little to do when he
gave the command for them to march into
Hardeman county. Above all else, let our
people eyince the spirit of manhood, and
while the armed soldiery are among US, do
as they have done in the past, submit to all
laws, though some of them may be harsh
and unjust. The assertion is made by the
paper from which is gathered the informa-
ton of the coming of the militia that freed
men are being threatened by their employ
ers with great violence should they, the
freedmen, vote for Brownlow. The editor
of the paper referred to is q political dema-
gogue, has been on both sides of the war,
and is by nature compound Of radical
meanness, though for once he may have
been imposed on by some designing sneak
in this county, and our honest opinion is
that some hopeful cur has written willful
and malicious falsehoods to the commander
of the militia in order to have the polls
guarded by bayonets on the first of August
This in truth, seems to be the only solution
to the problem What is there for an
armed soldiery to do in Hardeman2 We
wish the public everywhere to understand
that if militia are sent here they viii Ian
guish in idleness: there is nothing for them
to do, save interfering with the balot-box,
and If they do undertake to control the cleo
ton they viii doubtless find it hard road
to travel There is a gentleman at Wash
ington who rules the rancho and we confde
in his ability to protect a disarmed com
munity from tho Iawlesness of Brownlow's
State guards We are thankful that our
county has remained at peace and hope she
will so remain for many year to come. He
who connives at the sending of troops here
at this time is a base, unconscious dog, IN
worthy the crumbs that fall from the table
of the veriest thief. that ever robbed a muir
dered man.

STAND BY THE DECLARATION OF PRINC1-
PLEs-It will be borne IN mind that, as
party, the Conservatives of Hardeman have
failed to nominate a regular candidate for
the Legislature However, there is a candi-
date in the field, Mr. John B. Rufin, who, in
public print, declares that he espouses the
cause Of the anti-Brownlow party, and sol
emRly asserts that nc stands upon the plat
form adopted at the convention held in
Nashville on the 10th of last April Let
our people vote a solid ticket Mr. Rufin is
a Union man, and we have every reason to
believe that he is an honest man. He says,
under his own signature, that he IS with the
Conservative party, Under all the surround
ings, we consider that he is entitled to the
support of the Conservative element in Har-
deman county We are In no condition to
take chances or run doubtful risks. Mr..
Rufhns name is before the people. He be-
longs to the Conservative party. 1t is our
duty to support him. Let US see that he is
elected. Do not split hairs at this late day
Stand by the ticket of freedom and justice.

Ahead of the Hounds.

The Nashville Press and Times, Brown
lows official organ, of the 18th, declares
that militia viii be sent into this county.
Here is what Mr. Mercer says
We hear from the counties Of Hardeman
Upton and Fayette, that the colored peopIe
are registering very slowly. They are in
Inundated by the threats Of the rebels, espe-
claliy OF their employers. They are told
that if they vote for Brownlow, they shall
be whipped, shot or driven out of the coun-
try, and consequently, they are afraid, in
many neighbOrhoods, to apply for certif-
Gates. Our friends must not be bullied in
this manner Now let
our eolored friends of these three counties
determine to give larger maiorities for
Brownlow than the rebels gave for secession
in 1861. Troops Will be sent to protect YOU.
and if rufiians modest you, they will be Sc
verelY punished. General Cooper will do
his duty in the premises, and punish your
prosecutors.
When the editor of the Press and Times
penned the assertion that negroes in this
county were being inundated by the threats
Of rebels he asserted what every man in
Hardeman knows to be falsehood from be-
ginning to end "They are told that if theyvote
for Brownloy they viii be lOhipped, SHOT, or
DRIVEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY" says the rad
zeal organ. We say, and can prove that this
is base, malicious and uncalled for fabrica-
ton "They," the negroes of Hardeman,
says the same paper, are afraid to apply
for certificates" The assertion is too mon
strously false to even merit comment, and
were it not for the line in the paragraph
quoted which informs us that troops will
be sent here, we would not notice the
above batch of falsehoods, Matched in a
viper's nest for an especial purpose
AS to Upton and Fayette, they need no
viudication from US, and can reap the sweet
or bitter fruits of their own labor; but we
do claim the right of hurting back a slam
derous attack when made upon the intelIi-
gent, law-abiding, exemplary citizens of old
Hardeman, people who stand to-day, as
they have in the past, confessedly inferior
TO none in all thai goes to make up com
munity of firm and unyielding devotees at
the shrine of American liberty and indie
pendence. We defy the editor of the Press
and Times to name a county either in or out
of the State that excels this in peace and
quiet We defy the editor of the Press and
Times to name one man in Hardeman who
has threatened to whip, shoot, or drive out
ofthe country any freedman, if he, the freed
man, should vote for Brownlow. And fur
ther, we defy hell itself to produce a Shiny
spawn that could utter baser fabrications
