FAYETTEVILLE, TENN:
Thursday Morning, August ~, 1867.
Who are Proscriptionists?

Whoare ProscriptiOnists
Welearn from the Press Dc Times
that seventy negroes have applied
to Gen. Carlin for relief on the
ground that they have been dis
missed by their employers for vo-
ting the Radical ticket. The ed
itor is fierce in his Indignation,
threatening blood and thunder,
confscation and Punishment, Con-
gress and damnation. We would
like to know how many Conser-
natives are employed in the Press
Dc Z INES Office or in the Freed
mans Bureau? How many Con-
servatiyes have been appointed to
any State Office? What Radical
gives preference to a Conservative
In any business transaction?
But these Radicals have pro-
. scribed white men, depriving them
of all their birthrights-of all the
privileges of a freeman. And
now, because a man does not wish
to feed those who have wronged
him SO deeply, he is denounced
and threatened. There is some
thing exceedingly absurd and ri
dicufous in all this cutlery:
The St. Louis Republican asks
very justly, which is the most
"proscriptive," to refuse a man
employment, or to drive him away
from the polls and deny to him
the exercise of a privilege which
is a birthright? The white Rad
icals persuade the negro to go to
the polls and vote against all Con-
seryatives, to perpetuate their dis
reimbursement and exclude them
from all participation in the Gov
eminent. These same negroes
go to the polls, insolently bid Con-
servatives "get out of. the way"
vote for their enemies, who i'm
pose upon them degrading disa-
bilities, and make them aliens In
the land where they were born,
depriving them of voice in mat
tiers in which their property and
their lives are involved. And
this most atrocious and unprece-
dented prescription of American
citizens, calls forth not word Of
condemnation from the Radicals.
But when those thus prescribed
and outraged say: we will give
neither employment, nor money,
nor shelter to those who thus
prove themselves our deadly enc
mics, the Radicals are shocked at
the ''proscriptive" spirit displayed.
Let them correct their own vices
before they become virtuously in
dignant at the vices of others
If it is unjust and proscriptive to
refuse man employment because
of his alliance with bad party,
it is infinitely more SO to disfran-
chise citizen, defraud him of his
vote, deny him the right to choose
his own rulers and make his own
laws. When the Radicals cease
this sort of prescription, then they
may ask Conservatives to give
bread and butter to negroes. But
it is the very sublimity of ASST
rance and impudence for them to
demand that Conservatives should
nourish and support the very agents
who are used to infict upon them
the greatest political outrages ever
suffered by a free people.

NEU-JERSEY-THE IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE
CONVENTION

To ~ Editor Of ne TrbuR>
SIR: have taken no part. by direction or indirec-
ton for one year last passed. in the machinery OF
State politics in New-Jersey.
But as Republican citizen / take tho liveest in
terest in "the New-Jersey Impartial Suffrage Con-
vention which Is called for the 18th of Junep
This is no time for disputaton on questions OF pre-
cedence in calling his Convention. The call sprung
from the popular conviction that No'c was the time
i'm which the advocates Of Freedom ought 10 make
declaration of their faith and move JOfrdId IN the not
vet ended conflict for the Rights Of Man.
The Convention already called is indorsed by 10
ont of l3 Republican Senator's and b. very many of
the House OF Assembly. including the Hon. James H.
Nixon who took q leading position against the pro
posed Equal Suffrage amendment on the ground OF
eXpedcncy, at the last legislative session.
Ny object in writing this note Is simply 10 make
the above statement, and TO say further that the
County Conventions in many counties OF New-Jersey
are already called.
Any adjournment Of Convention ut Trenton, on
June g. will work mischief only in my opinion
Whether this one il 10 DO the Convention, nobody
cares. But such Convention springing directly
from tho popular impulse, wei as from the sober
second thought of nine-enths of the Republicans OF
New-Jersey who don't hold any office, and are not
eager for any, will meet in the City of Trenton on
tbs 4th day of June next. l am authorized To say
this much 10 the editor of The TRIBUNE, by leading
