HORACE MAYNARD GETS A FLEA IN HIS
will now read you an extract from the
Press and Times, being the report Of u
speech of a prominent Radical leader, and
bearing upon myself, ~ see the gentle
man is present, and desire him now to
hear my answer. alludc to Mr.. Maynard,
of East Tennessee. Here Is the printed ex-
tract of his speech, and what he said Of
myself:
"A single and similar fact in the per-
sonal history of the two candidates. Ethe-
ridge and BrOwnlOw, leaves much more
unnecessary. Both were well known citl-
zens of Tennessee before the war. Both
,oere arrested and Imprisoned during the acG
So far they are alike--no farther. Brown
low was imprisoned for being friend of
my. Br0wnlOw was imprisoned by the
enemies of the country; Etheridge by its
friends. Jctf Davis held BrownlOw In
confinement; Gen. Thomas held Ether
l}rOwnlOw languishcd in a rebel prison;
Etheridge was In the custody of the blue
coated guardians of the nation"
have this to say to the author Of this
|langlagc-that Isods imprisoned by Broom

not tell your Radical associates and friends
sir that MIR. Ethcridge was released and
hOn0rably acquitted by military court
composed of 'the blue-coated guardians

THERE Is YET no PEACE.
For two years and half the sound ofa
hostile gun has not been heard in TenneS
see. and yet we have no peace. Who j. it
that is denying us that peace? The ma
jOrity of them are apostatc rebels, banded
! together under the name of Radicals, and
it is this class who are hunting down and
prosecuting the citizens of the State. Even
Cesar at Pharsalia. cried aloud to his vic
tOriOus soldiers: "Spare the citizens Do
you ever hear Stokes say spare the citi
zens?" No, srs, no.
WHO Is THE BLACK MANS FRIEND?
Now, there are but few honest colorcd
men but will tell you that they feel they
lack the knowledge. from want of expert
encc how and for whom to vote in tho
contest. will say to my colorcd fellow
citizens that the best men from whom they
could get advice are those respectable cti-
zems they had known their whole lives
long with whom they had been raised up
and with whom they had lived--the moral,
the law-abiding men of the community
who upheld society in the times that are
past.
| ~ few bad men are attempting to rule
| them. Is 1t unreasonable or wrong to ask
for suffrage for the white people of Ten
nesscc.
! TENNESSEEANS WILL NOT BE SLAVES.
| propose, if am chosen Governor of
this state. to exert my efforts to restore to
every white citizen his right of suffrage,
And | will tell those hcnchmen of Brown
low, and their master, that they will find
it easier to Eurl the mountains from their
base than to hold the yoke of slavery upon
the necks of tile white people of Tennessee.
,lO not believe the rejecting honest blac,
man will sanction such an endeavOr, to o.
press the people of Tennessee.
"CRooKiNG TIE PREGNANT HINGES or
TIE KNEE"
That man who is mean enough to
disfranchise me, by reason of his lust
for office and power, is not my peer
The oppressors ofthis people have no
right to consider themselves upon an
equality with better men who are dis
franchiscd. AMI vet they will smile to
you-the fawning sycophants, make
professions OF personal regard, ask yon
how you do--cven pray for you, and,
from sitting beneath the drippings of
the sanctuary, where they groan amen
to the commandment "do unto Others
as you would they should do unto YOU
they will sneak off into their secret
leagues to tell you colored men to vote
against your neighbors, and to disfran
chise them, and held to keep them dis
franchised.
The people Of Tennessee have not
sought and do not seek the disfran-
chisement of their Radical oppressors
and if these Radicals were trained
among gentlemen they would see their
fcllow-lncn righted instead Of so zeal
ously working to restrain them of their
rights.
