HITTING THE NAIL ON THE
HEAD.

The Cincinnati Commercial (radicaD roasts
ASHLEY thus:
"The impeachers do not make much pro-
gress Mr.. Ashley, upon his responsibility
as Representative, does not know any more
Of the high crimes and misdemeanors of the
President than all men know who read the
newspapers. His disturbance about i'm
peachment is, therefore, scandalous hum
bug; and it is not sure thing that the i'm
posing demonstration in the House was not
procured by stock operators in Wall street."

THE New York Erpress is responsible for
the following statement, which is interesting
and important if true:
The Jews in Bombay have been greatly
excited by the publication of a pamphlet by
their pontif, entitled "The Voice of the Vigi-
liant" The object of the pamphlet is to per-
suade the Jews that it is useless to wait any
longer for the promised Messiah, as it was
Jesus Christ himself who ismade known in
the New Testament.

CONTRIBUTION m TFNNEssEE.

One Of the resolutions adopted with
out dissenting voice by the Radical
convention at Jonesboro, on the LIST inst
is as follows:
Resolved, That we heartily approve the
policy enunciated by Hon. Thaddeus Ste
veus, in the Congress of the United States
of confscating Rebel property to the ex-
tent Of li9uidating the war debt of the ma
ton and remunerating the loyal men OF
the South for their losses incurred by the
war.
The Press and Times approves this
resolution, for that paper selects it and
two others for reproduction in its COLI
umns, Here then is presented one of
the issues of the canvass in this State.
The Radicals in Tennessee espouse the
confscation policy of that ultra Radical,
Thad Stevens THIS measure is intended
to pauperise the Southern people, and en-
rich the Radicals under the specious
plea Of remuneratiug the loyal men Of
the South for their losses incurred by the
war Are the Union men Of Tennes-
see prepared to go with the Radicals in
their advocacy of the bloody confscation
policy of Thad Stevens

Thurlow Weed, who has for many

over the politics of New York, in his sa-
lutatory in the Commercial Advertiser,
says The work &c impeachment, if it
is to be benefcially prosecuted, should
include the members of Congress who are
leading the country, through reckless ex-
penditure, to ineUitable repHaiation.
Impeachment is two-edged sword and
when in the hands of a fanatical mad
man, is as apt to cut friend as foe. 1t
may be well for the autocrats who now
lord it over powerless minority,
to remember that the time will come
when an outraged people will visit upon
them the punishment they are so anxious
to infict on the President Justice,
though sometimes slow, will overtake its
victims. Ii is a singular fact that the in-
ventor Of the guillotine was slain by it

HYPocRTsY roWARDN
THE NEGRO.

ANAE AEOASOs
The inconsistency Of the Radicals in
demanding that the suffrage right shall
be given to the negroes in the Southern
States, while they refuse it to the same
class ofpopulation in the Northern States,
is inoontestable proof that their profes-
siOns Of belief that the measure is wise
one, and simple act of Justice to the
negro, are false and deeeitfui. It's proof
equally strong that they are seeking to
use the negro vote for base and selfish
party object Not one of their Organs
has essayed to explain this fact In
States where they have an assured ma
jority of whites, they are in favor Of a
white mans government" The negro
is permitted to work and pay taxes, and
creep about as best he may, to exc out a
living despised and degraded thing,
whose touch is contamination, and
whose smell IS strong. Occasionally, a
negro ofsOme parts like Fred. Douglass, is
found, and he is petted and encouraged
to speechify after the style of the parrot,
and agitate for his race. He is made
tool for the political purposes ofthe smart
raseals who manage him. But in the
Southern States, where there is an over
whelming majority Of the white people
opposed to Radicalism, they proclaim yo-
ciferOusly " equal rights to all men" tex
cept such white men as they know to ops
pose them They give, by force, the
negro the right to vote them onto control
of the State affairs of the Southern peo-
pie, but are careful to give him no more.
They would make the mass of them in
the South their tools, as they hold them
in the North as menials They were the
original slave-importers, slaye-buyers and
slaye-sellers. They drove this trade as
long as it was lucrative, and until they
had stocked the South, where it was profit
able, with such property. They were
willing for the negroes to be ehattels, SO
long as they enriched their Golfers, direct
" or indirectly They never thought of
destroying that property, till the danger
was imminent that they would lose the
proceeds Of it altogether. As freedman,
they would use the negro as soidrdly and
ayariciously as when slave They deem
him fit only for an instrument, and the
service he is put to, depends only upon
the latitude in which he is found, and
the character Of the work to be done
and when there is no portion of United
States territory on which he can thus be
used, these same hypocrites will be the
first to eolonize him in Guatemala or
Sitka, if the Radical Senate should see fit
to buy it of Russia, and make way for
free white laborers from the loyal ~
North.
The Radicals of the Southern States
are but stoolpigeOns in these schemes for
their masters in Massachusetts, and Ohio,
and the sooner the negroes of the South
come to know it, the better for them.
