Ia the discourse of BrownlOw delivered
in 1857, from which we quoted yesterday,
he says:
when an unprecedented aud candid
mind examines into the past history ofour
race, and learns the facts which history
develops, as the enqairer viii. that ma
jority of mankid were staves, he will be
driven to the conclusion that the world,
when first peopled by God himself was not
a world Of freemen but of slayes-the Dec
laratiOn Of American Independence 70 the
contrary Notwithstanding"
A little. research into the record Of this
man affords the key 10 his conduct as. Gov
ernor of Tennessee. He is a deliberate and
devout believer in the government Of the
few over the many.
A majority of mankind - fboth races,
are slaves, forsooth, in the estinlation Of
this expounder aud ruler. 1t was fhis
that led him to declare in his Executive
message, less than two years ago, that the
blacks were ssrvile, british and vicious
population, unfit for suffrage aud that in
duces him to play the despOt over the ma
jority of his white fellow men of Teuues-
see. Iii is for this that the eolored men
are to be made the puppets Of his viii,
and the white men awed into submission
by his bayonets, aud be made abjeet craw-
lsrs beneath his legs. and tithe-payers into
his treasury. E,.5

Perhaps no man in the South has less
claim on the colored vote than Brownlow
In 1856. he said of the negro "Ths pre-
serVaLiOn of the relation of master and
slave is essential to the continued and flu
ture welfare of the negro race of the South.
1 assert that negro slavery is blessing
a blessing TO tie non STAKEHOLDER of the
South blessing to the civilized white
race in general, aud blessing to the negro
slave in particular" On another occasion
he said: 81 own no slaves, but it is be-
cause of my poverty and not because I am
opposed TO owning them. = The
Methodists of New England and other de-
nominations take the ground that slave
holding is a sin, az injustice, barbarism.
I do not believe them. I believe with the
Constitution of my country, that slaves
are lawful species of property, and that
those who feed and clothe them well, in
struct them in religion, are better friends to
them than those who set them at liberty"

The Radicals and De Negro.

In his message Of October 3, 1865, to
the Legislature, Gov. BrOwnlOw said of
the negroes:
"a large class, ignorant. docile, easily
led by designing men, and not safely trust
ed with power, am not willing to see at
the baIlot-box. = 4 1 think it would
be bad policy. as well as wrong in princi-
pie, to open the ballot-bOx to the uniform
ed and exceedingly stupid slaves of the
Southern cotton, rice, and sugar fields.
= A long and intimate acquaintance
with affairs in the South has convinced me
that the white and colored people cannot
live together, politically, or socially, as
equals"

The State Guard-Its Political Object.
Capt. George E. Grisham, of JOnesboro,
has raised and organized a company of
''loyal militia for the State Guard. Gov.
Brownlow has issued an order to the cap
tain, from which the following paragraph
is extracted:
a mastering officer will be present at
Jgnesboro the J5rss dag Of May, to receive
your company into service, and to furnish
you with arms, ammunition, blankets, tents
and rations. Let them all be there, ready
TO go into the service on that day, and on
the next day, to. march, one-half of them to
Kingsport and the other half to Bristol
Have reliable man with each squad to
act as commissary.
The Jonesboro Flag, edited by Captain
Grisham, says in its issue of the 10th inst :
Our old friend Col. Kirk, we are glad to
learn, will soon have his company of State
Guards ready for muster and equipment
Although we are one day ahead of him
there is no discount on the Colonel, aud he
win have No. company ready in few
days for actual duty in tie feld Rebels
and their despicable and despised sympa-
tbizers must clay low when Col Kirk
comes round-and this is fact which
might as we'll be born in mind by call con-
ceFned"
When tits remembered that all who OPP
pose the Radical party are denounced as
either Rebels or sympathizers, the reader
will have no difficulty in determining who
Capt. Grisham understands be is to ope-
rate against, and he notifies all such that
when his "old friend Col Kirk comes
round, )" they must clay low 1t would
be difficult to get more explicit avowal
Of the object Of this ''loyal militia" It
is purely political organization. gotten
up for the sole purpose Of Overawing the
opponents of the reigning dynasty, and to
control the elections of this State. Is fur
ther proof of this wanted ? In a leading
editorial in the same number of the Flag
from which we have quoted, Capt. Girls
ham says:
The maH that does not understand that
this State is to remain under the control
and management Of is friends at any cost or
sacrifice, is certainly too far behind the
times to make safe aud successful legis-
latoF. The Radicals will rule this State

a Shameless Confession.

The Banner Of the 24th, says When a
faction is compelled to openly depart from
The system Of Government under which it
processes to live. and to discard even its
own machinery Of operations, it must be as
desperate as'itis reckless, and cannot claim
to be anything but squad of revolutiona-
~ pIunderers and Ofice-seekers, resolved
upon Instruction and dangerous at once to
society and law. e. w a-s 20
In its issue of yesterday, the Press and
Times prints the following:
We tell our Conservative friends, can
didly, that opposition to the measures of
Governor Browniow's ADMINISTRATION is ut
terly idle. It has no more prospect or p ssh
bility OF success than opposition to the uni
ted States Government, and the longer it is
keptup the more rigid viii be our legis-
lation. So sure as that lawless and unprin-
eipled mob orator, Etheridge, a broken
down hack who was nominated only as a
desperate leader of desperate cause, shall
excite the rebels TO acts Of violence, so sure
will Congress come to the help of the
present State administration by the passage
Of law which will make treason stand
aghast and helpless in Tennessee. The
programme is already marked out and con-
tingeneies provided for.
Again--as il dazzled by the damning
confession contained in the above-it reit-
crates
He who suppOses that Etheridge, evea If
elected, would be suffered by Congress to
rule Tennessee, knows little Of its iron win
and determination.

BEDDING THE CUTTINGS.

A bed is spaded about twelve inches
deep, the cuttings are put in rows or drills,
which drills are twelve inches apart, and
the cuttings are put from one to two inches
apart in the drill, on end as they grew and
slightly inclined, leaving one eye of the
cutting above ground they remain in

TREATMENT THE FIRST SUMNER.
The first summer after planting, nothing
is necessary but to keep the ground mellow
and free from weeds, stirring freely with
hoe, rake, pillow and cultivator whenever
necessary. Should the plants grow strong,
they may be tied to the stakes provided in
planting, to elevate them somewhat above
ground. In the fall prune the vine to
three buds, if it has grown from four to
five feet if it has not grown SO much
prune it to one or two buds. During
the winter, trellis should be provided
for the vines, as they will grow from
twelve to fifteen feet the coming sum
mer. The most economical are those Of
strong upright posts, say four inches in.
diameter, made ofany durable wood, seven
feet long, along which wire or laths run
horizOntally-some grape growers use no
trellis, simply the posts.
TREATMENT OF THE VINE SECOND SUMMER.
Cultivate the whole ground by plOughing
from four to six inches deep between the
rows. and hOeing around the vines. Keep
the ground worked aud mellow during sum
mer, and prune in the fall after the leaves
have dropped.
TREATMENT OF THE VINE THE THIRD YEAR.
AT the commencement of the third sea
son we find our vine pruned to two speers
of two eyes each, and lateral canes, Of from
four to six eyes each these are tied firmly
to the trellis. The ground is ploughed
and boed deeply, as described before, TAX
inc care, however, not to piow so deep
as to cut or tear the roots Of the vines.-
At the end Of this season the latterals are
pruned precisely as the last season each
being cut back to from four to six eyes
each, and the old cane which has borne
fruit is cut away all together.
TREATMENF THE FOURTH YEAR.
We may now consider the vine as estab-
lished, able TO bear full crop, and when
tied to the posts or trellis 10 the spring,
the operations 10 be performed are precise
" the same as IN its third year.
Pruning is best done in the fall, but it
can be done on mild days all through The
winter, even as late as 6rst Of March -
Fall pruning will prevent all. flow Of SAP,
