"The win of the Nation. :,


WAsHNGroN, Jan. II, I867.-A resolu-
ton was adopted to-day by the House of
Representatives, declaring it to be the duty
of the Government, to give effect to the mani
fest wish Of the nation by providing against
the further importation Of Coolies to this
hemisphere, or the adjacent islands.
OF coursel-S we go. Anything suppo-
sed to be favorable to the realization of rad
zeal theories, or the consolidation and con
tinuation of power in the hands of the Rad
ical party, no matter how unconstitutional
or how inimical to the interests of the peo-
pie, is at once taken for granted and declared
to be " the manifest wish of the nation"
The experience of two years in the South,
has shown the utter ineficiency of free ne
gro labor, and yet, according to these Con
gressiOnal nsurpers, it is the manifest wish
of the nation that no other kind Of labor
shall be permitted to take its place, or be
even tried
Under the operation of the present Tariff
the manufacturers of the North, who con-
stitute comparatively small fraction of
the nation are realizing immense profits
from 100 to $50 per cent-on their capital
invested, while the farmers of the country,
who constitute three fourths of &c the nation"
are brought to the verge of bankruptcy and
ruin; and yet, say these insatiate Radicals,
it is the will of the nation that the Tariff
shall be increased and perpetuated, and the
rich made richer and the poor poorer,
throughout the Union, forever
The President was proceeding, in the most
patriotic and magnanimous manner to res
tore peace and union after four years of
bloody war; the dayspring of glorious era
of prosperity and good feeling began to gild
our republican skies; but in the very mo-
ment Of brightest promise, the Congressional
Jacobins, withan effrOntery, an insance folly,
that eclipses the madness of their protot pes
in all the ages gone before, come forward
and declare, that, it is the will of the ma
ton that peace and union shall not be res
tored, that the South must be crippled as far
as Congressional legislation can do it; and
that the President shall be impeached and
punished for attempting to restore the Union
for not hanging Jefferson Davis for not
erecting a gibbet at every market-town in
the South and executing at least a hundred
thousand victims to appease the names of
Lincoln; for not confscating all rebel prop
erty, and giving it to the negroes; for not
making the negro the equal of the white man
lin the South only; } and for not converting
this into an out andout free negro govern
ment, generally Could midsummer mad
mes, could human devilty, any farther go ?

The Proposed Monument.

TO the relatives and friends Of The Confede
rate dead
Again the people of Hardeman county arc
called upon to give something, and that
speedily, for the erection of a monument to
the memory of our fallen friends and broth
ers. Several offers have been made lately
to take the contract of putting up the Monu-
ment and we only wait to see if our people
will respond and contribute to the work.
Bolivar, salisbury, and District Is, (and
few scattering contributions from indiyidu-
ais are the only parts of the county which
have taken any action. Miss MoIlie Elliott,
of salisbury, Rev L. Il Savage, and Mr.
David McKinnie have done noble work with
the lists sent them. VIII not some friends
Of the project from each district of the
county do what they can in the next three
weeks, for by the last Of next month we ex-
pect to make arrangements for having the
work done, as an agent Of a house in Jack
sen, Tenn, and one from Paducah, Ky, will
come here between the goth and last of the
month, prepared to take the contract. We
cannot put up nice, substantial Monument
for less than from thirty-fve hundred to four
thousand dollars, as designs have been ex-
amined and inquiries made with a view to
find out the price. Two thousand dollars is
the amount now on hand, and if the people
of the county will do no more, we will use
that and put up what we can, though it is
barely possible to make that suffice for the
most inferior work Of the kind
Let some man, or committee of men, in
each district, send in list of the dead from
his district without delay, giving the regi
ment if possible, and place and time of death
Let all who are friends to tire object, do what
they can in the next three weeks

ORGANIZE. i'm view Of the fact that cleo
tiuRs arc to be held in this State in August
next, We suggest that thorough and com
plete organization Of the conservatives be
brought about The radical, or Brownlow
party, have their secret oatli-bound leagues,
and viii make a desperate effort to retain the
Offices now occupied by them. It is abso-
lutely necessary that the conservative ele-
ments be consolidated and put in motion.
We want TO know our champion for the Gu
bernatorial race Would It not be well for
the people to call convention at an early
day. for the purpose of selecting suitable
candidates As long as we remain inactive,
just so long will we be ruled over by the
Bsownlows, the Maynards, the Arnells. and
the Smiths. Outside Of the odious franchise
law, the people of this State can right them
selves if they will Again we call for a
convention, and let that convention DE com
posed Of at least one delegate from every
county in the State It is impossible to ac-
complish the overthrow of radicalism in
Tennessee while the conservatives are unor-
gained. We have not got week to lose.

compelled to leave the county, Kinman and
Green being Of the force who were pursuing
them. Senator Case, though an active
enemy Of The guerrilias, is said to have often
defended the character of Oliver Farris,
saying that it was no fault Of his if his men
committed depredatiOns, and asserting that
he did nothing inconsistent with honorable
warfare.
Kinman was member of the seventh
Tennessee Federal Cavalry during the war,
was captured at Union City, and was for
some time a prisoner ut AndersOnVille.
His recovery is doubtful
Green was also member of one of the
Federal regiments Of this State during the
war.
Farris Is still at large We understand
that Mr. VIII White, Sheriff Of UbiOn
county, was in town yesterday for the pur-
pose Of obtaining assistance to secure the ar
rest Of Frank Farris and his accomplices.
After a visit to the Capitol, and a consulta-
ton with some Of the State officials, he con
eluded to abandon the idea He will return
home to-day.-NashUiLle Banner

Hon. John W. Leftwick.

The Conservative press of the District
have very generally responded to our sug-
gestion in favor of the reelection of our
able, worthy and most efficient Representa-
tive in Congress. From the days of Davy
Crockett, down to the present time, our peo-
pie have been most fortunate in their Con
gressionaI representative. The first talent
of the country has adorned that position /;
and without any disparagement to the many
able and distinguished men who have been
thus honored, none have more wOrthily or
efficiently served our people than Hon. John
w Leftwick. He knows the interests of his
District and State and looks after them with
a vigilance in the highest degree commenda-
bic. Among the Conservative people of the
district we do not hear of the slightest oppo-
sition to his reelection. The radicals will
endeavor to defeat himj and as foreshadow-
ed by the Press aud Times, Governor Brown
lows Nashville organ, the legislature will
doubtless pass an act comforting suffrage upon
the eolored men of the State, but in that
event they will find they have "reckoned
without their host" No man knows better
than the negroes Of the South who are their
real and true friends and when they are
clothed with the right of suffrage and go to
the balotbox, they will go almost as a unit
against the hypocritical aud base set Of
iackals of the radical party. There never
was the day When the negroes of the South
were not ID feeling and sympathy with our
people. They know the hollow deceit and
base hypocracy of their pretended Northern
friends. They have seen it exemPiifed in
the migrating schoolteucher from dear old
New England's bleak and wintry Puritani-
cal shore, who came South and married
plantation: The change from the old owner
e, the new one was the dread of every negro
on the place, for they were proverbial as be-
ing the hardest masters in all the country
They have seen it illustrated since the close
Of the war, when their pretended friends
hired them on plantations-how exacting
thew were as to work, how parsimonious as
to wages, and when the day Of settlement
came. oh Iordy the poor niger 'sas no

Nc Question of tha Honr.

The journal of Commerce says: 1t is
dlsgracetui to the organization of the House
that the subject of impeachment goes be-
fore committee of nine members, upon
which the President has but one friend,
and he not an original friend The eight
remaining members will leave the case to.
Mr.. Ashley in its preparation, and Boutwell,,
of Massachusetts, will do the work Of in
peaching in the Committee The only hope
now Is in the Senate, which may respect the
law and the facts. In the meantime the
President bears himself with patience and
dignity which ought to command the respect
Of the country He is discharging his duty
feariessIy and ably, aud without any refer
ence to personal consequences.
1t Is not to be doubted that up to the pres
ent moment every step taken toward the
proposed impeachment of President johnson
has been destitute of the essentials of dig
nifty, and has been especially characterized
as partisan in feeling and motive An i'm
peachmert on party grounds can never be
otherwise than wrong An impeachment
sustained by the members of one political
party and opposed By the members of
another, has necessarily the aspect of pure
partisan feeling, and cannot be explained as
otherwise, unless the theory be that all the
opposing members are as corrupt and wicked
as the officer whose impeachment is prOpOsed.
ington now. No one is so wild as to imagine
ali the members of Congress who oppose
the impeachment Of President johnson as
destitute of moral principle n fact it
would be idle for any one to say at present
that the proposal for impeachment is any
thing but partisan, and thus far it appears
to be urged only by the most violent class of
politicians. Among the people of the eoun-
try at large the idea is regarded as so absurd
and revolutionary that it is not even thought
possible much less probable The people
are not at all awake to the importance which
1t Is assuming. The strength Of party ties
was never more severely tried than it is to
be IN this matter; and it is not at all I'M
likely that, as In former instances, the crack
of the whip will bring the whole party into
the traces, and lead to rapid and sweeping
action. Gentlemen who to-day suppose that
they are firm IN opposing the plan, may find
themselves less firm and more wagering

never more needed than now If the
shackles could be thrown off, there is suGi-
cient ability in the present Congress to de-
wise wise measures which would prove sue
cessful in the pacifcation of the country
and the restoration of permanent prosperity.
If there were no anxiety to preserve party
power on one side, or to gain it on the other
If there were no contests for the spOils of

dunned for the baggage, before he had time
to get it from the bottom Of the huge pile.
