A Humble and Submissive Spirit.
Chaunccy Burr thus writes in the last
number Of tho ODD Guard

number ofthe ODD Guard:
A Southern man, or rather q North.
ern man long time residing in the South,
| writes us that he is Satisfied the only
thing which can save the South is Il
humble and submissive spirit" Alas,
what stupidity! No oppressed people
was ever yet saved by o "humble and
submissive spirit" Manhood and
pluck are the only things that eyer sa-
we'd 4 people from oppression. We are
reminded of a story told by Livy of the
Prirernates, who had been subdued by
the Romans. Their city was taken by
Plautius, the consul, after their leader
Vtrivius and great numbers of their
Senate and people had been killed.
Being reduced to alow condition, they
sent ambassadors to Rome to desire
peace; and when u Senator asked them
what punishment they deserved, one of
them answered "The same which they
deserve who think themselves worthy
OF liberty" The consul then demm-
ded what kind of peace might be ex-
pected from them if the punishment
should be RENTED. The Ambassador
answered eff the terms you give be
good, the peace will be observed by us
faithfully and perpetually if bad, it will
soon be broken" Though the least
generous were offended at this brave
answer, the most ~sagacious portion of
the Senate said it was worthy of Il man
and q free man, well knowing that no
people would long consent to be OPP
pressed, and acknowledged that ''they
only were fit to be made Romans who
thought nothing valuable but liberty"
Those who think that a cringing and
submissive spirit will ever be a remedy
for the South, have neither read histo-
ry, nor understand the character of the
Mongrel party. There will wei be
found weights of humiliation and indig-
nifty for all the humility and submis-
sion the South can put or.

4 Sample OF the Radical Element.
We do not say that every Radical is
Il thief, or q rascal. We do not say
that one.half, or one-third Of the Radi-
Gals are thieves, or liars. We have nc
doubt but that many good men belong
to the party, but we do say that
most Of the leaders ofthe party are fol
what we might call legal stealing. We
defy any man, even so powerful in log.
ic, to prove that the views of such men
as Wendell Phillips, Thaddens Stevens,
Ben. Butler, ct id mn genus, are not
cousin-gcrman to outright theft, if not
of closer relationship.
Gen. James p. Brownlow, son of the
Governor, dissected one Of the Radi.
cal leaders in this State a few days since
1t was Radical against Radical, and
none of our fight, but We are with the
General in sympathy. The victim OF
the Generals dissectiye powers was one
ID. II. Mason, who is n candidate fol
Congress in Of the districts in Mid
die Tennessee. Mason made speech
at Franklin in which he rantcd against
the rebels, and advocated conliscation
with u vengeance akin to that 0 fSpoon
Butler, or Wendell Phillips. Heprom-
ised, if elected to Congress, to vote for
giving each negro 40 acres ofland, to-
gethcr with all the houses and town lots
which they might pick out for them
selves. After he had finished his beast
ly harrangue, Gen. j. 2. Brownlow
took the stand, and we will let the Press
and Times tell what he did. VIZ quote
from that paper as follows:
general James p. Brownlow took
the stand, and informed the audience
that the man who had just addressed
them was a bushwhacker, and had SER
we'd in the rebel army at Rome, Ga
He then turned to Mason, who stood
trembling in the crowd, and asked him
if he did not cnlistin the rebel army,
and if he vas not discharged in 1864.
Mason, with great confusion and en-
barrassment, confessed that he had been
a rebel soldier. General Brownlow
then asked him if he did not edit q vic.
lent rebel newspaper at Rome, in 1862.
Mason again, with great embarrassment
confessed the charge. His partisans
in the crowd were thunderstruck at this
exposure, and showed strong symp-
toms of disgust and Indignation. But
poor Mason's sorrow had just begun,
for as he was walking off crestfallen
and discomiitted, a young man, named
Pope, came up to him, and asked him
if he (Mason) did not, somcyoars ago,
break open u trunk at his fathers house
and steal money from it? Mason, in
the presence of twenty persons, con-
fessed the theft, Mr.. Pope again ask
cd Mason ifhe was not expelled from
college, at Marysville, Tenn, for steal
ing money from his fellow students
Mason admitted that he was guilty, but
said that he had repentcd and was now
q remarkably honest man."
