HYPOCRusY UNMAsKED

Messrs Maynard and Stokes have en-
tered the lists as champions of Governor
Brownlow Both they and their lord and
master have ignored the white citizens Of
Tennessee, and address themselves ex .
clusively to the colored voters They
charge that Emerson Etheridge and the
Conservative party, not only have opposed
negro suffrage, but desire to re-enslave
the race They are abusing the negro
mind with all sorts OF perversions of Mr.
Ethcridge's antecedents and present posi-
ton, and claiming 10 be the special and
peculiar friends Of the race.
We cite the following from the official
records Of Congress to add another to the
many damning proofs Of their nauseous
and despicable hypocrisy 1t is not two
wears since Gov Rrownlow pronounced
the negro unfit for political equality in
Tennessee, and recommended his coloni-
cation in Africa or Mexico Here is the
position held by these henchmen Of has,
when members Of Congress in 1861 If
the negro voters intend to use their in
teligence in regard to the direction they
viii give their vote, let them mark the
vote of MAYNARD and Stokes and contrast
it with that Of MIR Etheridge on the pro-
position appended and then mark the
foreheads Of Maynard and Stokes
these impudent and importunate so.
lscitors for their suffrage
On the 9th February, 1861 Mr. Sher-
rard Clemens, Of Virginia, offered the
following as an amendment to the const-
tuition in substitution for that Of Mr.
Crittenden
Art. :. Sec. /. The elective franchise and
the right 10 hold office, whether Federal,
State. territorial or municipal, shall not be
exercised by persons who are, in whole or
in part, Of the African race.
Sec. 2 The United States shall have
power 10 acquire, from time 10 time, dis
tricts Of country in Africa and South Amer
lea, for the colonization, at the expense OF
the Federal treasury, Of such free negroes
and mulattos as the several States NAV
wish 20 have removed from their limits,
aud from the District Of Columbia, and
such other places as may be under the iu-
usdiciion Of Congress.
This was negatived-yeas 50, nays ll3.
Among the YEAS are Maynard and Stokes.
Ameng the NAYS, and in company with
Charles Francis Adams, Colfax, Corwin.
Winter Davis, LovejOy and John Sher>
man, is Emerson Etheridge In the face
of such facts, Stokes and Maynard have
the eifrontery To proclaim 70 the negroes
that they are their original and steadfast
friends, and that MIR Etheridge heads a
marty that would re>enslave them. Can
any lower depth Of political baseness be
found2

The New Orleans Republican, the new
Radical organ in the Crescent City, is
down upon Gen Sheridan He has
failed to comply with the demands of the
faction of which the Republican is the
mouth-piece, and that journal now turns
apon him with the bitterness of disap-
pointment, and declares he is not much
of military chieitain at best that it was
has duty during the war to embellish and
enlarge the slightest victories into import
ant actions, and create heroes out of the
most commonplace men, that he has
not hung every Conservative charged
with being concerned in the July riots, as
he was expected to do, without trial that
he removed Mayor Monroe, Judge Abel
and Attorney General Heron, simply to
test the question whether he had the
right Ia remove civil officer under the
military bill and that whenever there
is danger Of an outbreak he posts of to
Texas. The Republican laments after
this iashion
Republican members Of Congress and
people Of the North, Is this the supposed
indomitable pluck and nerve you were SO
wont to admire in the hero Of the Shenan-
doah? Alas, the great Samson we created
has laid his head in the lap Of Delilah, and
been shorn Of his locks"
The Republican charges the fair ladies
CT the Crescent City with having be-
guiled this Son Of Mars from performing
the work the extreme Radicals had 9e-
handed Of him That journal tells them
that the youthful hero whose locks
they have shorn and woven in bracelets,
set in gold ana diamonds, and entwined
around their fair arms and placed above
their snowy breasts, is not by any means

IMpLAc.RLE REBELS

The New York T15uae has been making
some calculations in regard to the political
composition of the South. 1t says:
The population Of the fifteen former
slave States was little over twelve mil
lions in 1860, and is nearly the same to-
day. The heavy waste of war has been
made up in part by immigration and in
part by natural increase. Several States
may have even fewer inhabitants than in
1850, but Texas has many more, and We
think there has been gain also in Ten
nessee, whose two principle cities-Mem-
phis and Nashville-haye grown very con-
siderably. Assuming the present popula-
ton Of those States (ineluding Kentucky,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware) at twelve millions, we estimate
that it may be divided politically as fol-
lows:
White Unonists who never faltered .... 2 00o, 600
Original Unionists who became Rebels 2 900 ,0UO
Original SecessiOnists now loyal....30 wv, w
Implacable VOO,UVO
We should like to know where the two
millions of 'implacable Rebels are, and
how one is to be distinguished when
found Implacable signifies stubborn re-
fusal to be pacifed If there are two
millions of that sort of people in the
South, they are remarkably quiet, and
have a singular way of exhibiting their
enmity to the government The fact is,
they are not here The Southern SOL
diers laid down their arms in good faith,
and the Southern people surrendered
with equal sincerity. They have not re-
fused to be at peace with the government
The implacability has been altogether on
the other side and continues virulent and
unrelenting 1t is the food and the life
Of the Radical party, aud is cultivated
and nOuTished with sedulOus and diaboli-
cal care If the veteran editor of the
Tribune (and he has given strong eyi-
dences of his desire to do SOY can east out
the devil Of implacable hate that rankles
in the breast Of his party, lac can soon
have abundant reason furnished that he
should omit from his classification the
term Rebels altogether 1t is only
purblind and proAigate Radicals that
find any use for it now.

We print elsewhere the report of a
committee submitted 10 meeting of
citizens of Franklin county, held at Win
chester Wednesday night which was
adopted by a unanimous vote. A reign
Of terror exists in that county such as no
citizen ever witnessed there. 1t will be
seen that Brownlow loyal militia are
committing almost every description of
outrage from murder down, while large
numbers of citizens are fleeing from their
homes to escape this lawless mob. Neither
life nor property is regarded as safe
And this is a specimen of the militia
which is to be inflicted upon the people of
Tennessee to make them vote for Brown

ACCORDING to some of the Washington
correspondents, it is made the duty OF
Gen. Thomas to look after the public
peace in this State If so, he need 20 no
fs rther than Franklin and Haywood coun-
ties to satisfy himself or any unpreju-
diced man, as to who are the authors of
the trouble and disquiet among the PEG
Pile The loyal militia, which the Gov
ernor declared so necessary to preserve
the peace and dignity of the State, have
already made themselves a terror to
peaceable and law abiding citizens
What will be the result when the whole
eight thousand shall have been equipped
and dispersed through the State ?
Perhaps Gen Thomas can imagine from
the impression they have already made.

PROTECTING THE FRANCHISE
AnAUNSV ruEASnN

This is the language used by leading
Radical paper in regard to the decision
Of the Supreme Court Of Missouri
court composed Of Judges whose eom-
missions have issued from partisan
source, and who debase the woolsaek by
partisan opinions--that test-oaths can
legally deprive a man of his voting priv
lege,
In the case Of Ashley as White, one Of
the most able and honest of English
Judges, Lord Chief Justice Holt, whose
learning has illustrated the Jurisprudence
Of civilized times, held that the franchise
was a property right, and could only be
forfeited under law for certain crimes of
which the party had been duly convicted;
and that any attempt to deprive him OF
it by other means, subjected the violators
Of his right to pecuniary damages Chief
Justice Chase, only week since, ad-
mitted a cause to re-hearing under a writ
of error to the Supreme Court of the
United States, in which property had
been condemned to confscatiOn for an
act Of treason Of which the party, Bruen,
had not been convicted. This is law.
The upholders of legislative usurpation
in this country are setting constitutions,
common law, statutes, decisions, prece-
dents and authorities at defiance in the
name Of liberty and progress cry as
iacobinical and revolutionary as that of
liberty, equality and fraternity, which
inaugurated anarchy and the reign Of
terror in France and passed that people
under the first Napoleon If it is not
checked in this country, governmental
chaos is to be our portion, to be succeeded

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES



New YORK, May 30.-In the Supreme
Court to-day, in the case of Mr. Brattan
against Gen. b. Butler, motion was grant
ed to transfer the case to the u. S. Court.
The plaintiff brings suit to recover $751;
600, alleged to have been wrongfnlly taken
from him during the Generals manipula-
ton of affairs at New Orleans. The plain
tiff alleges the draft for that amount was
taken from while being searched prior to
passing beyond the pickets; that Butler
cashed the same and converted il to his
own use.
Fifty dollar bills of the National Bank of
the Republic of New York, altered from
twenties, have recently made their appear
ance.
Several large tobacco establishments in
New jersey have been seized, where the
proprietors were not licensed, or were 9TH
erwise engaged in defrauding the govern
ment Of revenue.

MIR. ETHERIDGE AT CHATTA.
N0OGA


In the American Union, of Chattanooga,
we find an abstract of Mr. Etheridge's
speech on Wednesday containing the fol-
lowing paragraph;
Now, fellow-citizens, isn't il right for
men like Stokes and Maynard 10 let these
white men be as good as those black men
Isn't Tennessee Rebel as good as Geor-
gia Rebel ? | had rather be one Of the
Young men who followed Bill Stokes into
the Rebel army and fought it through, than
to be the man who wrote the Duncan letter
and then backed out Of it and went on the
other side, leaving those whom he had be
trayed. They say l want to be Governor.
IL Brownlow will agree to call the Legis-
lature together and let AZ many men vote
in Tennessee az do in South Carolina, !
will agree to quit the canvass and vote for
him.
The great stake in this election is the
enfraEchisement of the white citizens Of
Tennessee. Here is a proposition from
the accredited leader of the party strug
ling for that end, to retire from the con
test for the Governorship if the Legisla-
ture of Tennessee will modify the franz
chise law in accordance with the law of
Congress relating to the States south of
us. We have no idea that it will be
accepted, and presume that Mr. Etheridge
has none But it is an evidence of the
unselfshness and sincerity of Mr. Ethe
ridge in his appeal against the proscrip-
ton of his white fellow-citizen Such
action by the Tennessee Legislature
would bring healing on its wings politi-
cally, materially and socially, but the
Radicals are incapable Of anything wise,
