The League.


We commend the article below, from the
Knoxville Commercial, to the consideration
oS colored people of our section:
During the progress of the war it be-
came military necessity, and Abraham
Lincoln issued his proclamation, and the
colored citizens became free. But alas,
by the song of the syren large proper
ton of the colored citizens of Tennessee
have lost their liberty, and they are again
enslaved. The colored man in all the
other States is free. He is free to act for
himself, free to think for himself, free to
vote for whom he pleases, and in each aud
every particular, he is free man. But it
is not so in Tennessee. We have a class
of men who came among the colored oit-
zens with what they call League. These
men, by deception, persuaded the colored
man that the League was good for him to
join, and by fair promises they succeeded
in getting large numbers to sign away
their liberties, and to place themselves in
worse bondage than that which they had
just been released from By the emancipa-
tion proclamation.
When the colored man joins the League,
he then by solemn oath sweare away his
liberty. He can then 0 longer act for him
self-he can no longer vote as ho pleases,
and support such measures as his judg-
ment shall convince him is best for his
own interests, and why ? He has sworn
an oath to do as these League managers
tell him to do. He has sworn an oath to
vote for Just who, and what, the League
tell him he must vote for. He has sworn
an oath that he is no longer free man, and
therefore, he swears to let the League do
his thinking-his acting, his voting, be-
cause he must vote as they say. He swears
that he will not be free man, but slave
to the League Little did the colored man
know that a trap had been set for him, when
he Joined the League. Little did he dream
that by SO doing. he was selling his liber-
ties, and his manhood. to future i'll for
himself, as truly as ever mortal sold his
soul to perdition. These leagues are form
ed by designing men to control the weak
lnluQ6u anu u uOIdut5 anu Ilahe LueLu
their slaves and tools, and as soon as the
men who control them have accomplished
their own selfish purposes, they laugh at
the victims of their treachery, and the
League has answered the purpose for
which it was brought into exirtence, and
becomes a thing of tie past.
Colored men, you who have not fallen in
to the snare, shun it as you would the
poison of upas tree. You who have been
caught, and are now held in bondage as
sert your rights as free men, aud regain
your liberties as soon as you can. It does
not become any race Of men to be herded
like cattle, and be driven to the ot-box,
and made to vote as few designing lea
cues may want them to, and for their ben
eft alone. Let the colored man in the
League compare his situation with the free
man, who is at liberty to be free and in
dependent man.

Brick Pomeroy received 10000 new
subscribers to his paper, the Democrat, in
nine weeks.-Erchange.
Mr.. Pomeroy received those 10000 new
subscribers during his late tour through
the Southern States. Our people are too
poor to take papers published at home,
in Mississippi, but they can send to New
York, Philadelphia, La Crosse, and other
Northern cities for them.
We were considerably amused some
time since at an old gentleman from Simp-
son county, who came into our Office to
"beg few papers" He was "too poor to
subscribe for the Mississippian, didn't
take but one paper now, and that was the
La Crosse Democrat.
: Now We would ike to know what use
that poor old ignorant creature had for the
La Crosse Democrat. Simply no use at
all. He wanted to boast that he took q
paper from long way off. He wanted
to let his neighbors know that he knew Of
Brick Pomeroy and the La Crosse Demo
crat. We gave him bundle of papers,
and sent him his way rejoicing.
We have hundreds of men throughout
the South who are precisely Of this mans
class. Nothing emanating at home has
any virtue in it. Allis gold that glitters,
provided it comes from away up North.

What the Radicals Intend to do With
the Negro.

the Negro.
We take the following extract from
letter written by gentleman Of high in
telligence, who resides ia Hannibal, Mo.
It will serve to give an inkling as to what
the Radicals intend to do with the negro
the moment he ceases to be of any use to
their party
81 had an old friend, an abolitionist of
the most Radical feeling, to spend a few
days with me q short time ago: As he
was my guest, and was entertaining him
as my friend and as ii was known between
us that we differed so widely on the poll
teal questions of the day-whenever poll.
tics we're the subjects Of conversation, 1
permitted him to lead the conversation,
and urged him 10 express his views freely.
His views were well defined, and had been
we'll digested with regard to the negro.
He said the abolitiouists of the North
did not differ with me in believing that the
Caucassians and negroes were two very
distinct races of people that could never
live together as one people in peace. That
the North would never permit the South to
send their negroes North. That he believ-
ed it to be the abolition policy. at some fu-
ture day, when the South has been suffi-
ciendy humbed, to colOnise the negroes in
Central or South America. That he was
anxious to see the work of colonization
commenced. That their being made Amer
lean citizens made no difference. That
when Congress said they must go, then 60
they would.

/ saw Her But q Moment.

She wore a handsome erinoline on the
day when first we met, and she scudded
like a schooner with a cloud Of canvass set.
AS she swept along the pavement, with
grandeur fit TO kill, saw her but mo-
ment, yet methinks I see her still.
The wind was on bender, and as sauey
as witch, and it played the very dickens
with dust. dimity, and sioh. The CATERS
were delicious, which her feet were made
to fill saw her but moment yet me-
thinks I see her still.
She scooted round the corner, and stream
ipo out behind, her crinolino- and calico
were romping in the wind to have kept
them in position would have baftled twice
her skilI-I saw her but moment, yet me-
thinks I sec her still.
shut my eyes tremenjus, Tor l didn't
want 10 see a display Of pretty ankles when
It wasn't meant for me and until lose my
senses, 1 am sure I never will saw her
but a moment, yet methinks see her still.

Patent Love Letters

DEAR MISS After long consideration
and much meditation upon the great repu-
tation you possess in the nation, have
a strange inclination to become your rela-
tion. If this oblation is worthy Of obser-
walton, and can obtain commiseration, it
will he an aggrandzation beyond all calcu-
lation of the JOY and exultation of
PETER II. PoRTATIOH.
P. ST. solicit the acoeptation of the
love and appreciation, and propose the an
nexation of the lives and destination Of
Peter H. Portation and Marie Moderation.
THE ANSWER.
DEAR PETER 81 have perused your
Grafton with great deliberation, and little
consideration at the great iniatuation of
your weak imagination to show such vene-
ration on so slight foundation. After
mature dehberation and serious contempla-
ton, fear you proclamation is filed with
adulation, or sayings from oslentation to
display your education by an odd enume-
rationy or rather multiplication, Of words
of like Generation, though different in sig
MITIGATION. But as I admire association,
and am in favor of annexation, 1 acknowl-
edge my appreciation, aud indeed my in
olinatioD, to accept with qualification the
love and alteration set forth in your de-
claration and viii, with preparation, love,
and animation, remain with resignation,
and rejoice in the aPpellaLiOn Of
Mrs. PETER T. PoKTATIoE.
P. 81 suggest the Information that
we meet in consultation, and make some
preparation for the final consumalion Of
the intended annexation, when I bear the
same relation to you home and occupation
that Mrs. Peter II. Portation would then
bear to myself.
MARIE MoDERATIoN.

that Brownlow is the worst man in she

not worse than every intelligent white man

A CASE OF CANoER.-The Matches Dem
ocrat reports the cure of a case of cancer
in that city. 1t says:
For some time there has been going the
rounds of the press recipe for curing
cancers, by the use of a plaster of chloride
Of zinc, blood roots and wheat flour, is
said to have been discovered by Dr.. Fell,
of London, some eight or ten years ago
It has been tried IN this city, in the case
of a child who had a cancer on her lip, and
so far the success seems perfect. The tu-
NOR, about the size and shape of a pecan,
has come out and the process of healing
has gone on rapidly and healthily. We
will take note of the progress of the case,
and viii report its fual success or failure.
The only point yet to be determined is
whether the cure is so complete that the
cancer shall not return.

Boston Shoe and Leather Market.

The boot and shoe market is hardly so
active as last noted; the rush OF business
during the last two weeks ha~ nearly
cleared out the stocks of early made goods,
and some manufacturers are sold con ider-
ably ahead on heavy work. Thick boots
are selling at very full prices, and are
taken by the Western trade as fast as
turned out. Very few goods Of this or in
deed of any description are being manu-
tactured in that section this year, and
dealers are depending wholly upon the
Eastern markets for supplies.
AS regards fine work, the seasonable de-
mand is q little slack, with some differ
ence between the views of buyers and
sellers. The former are very reluctant to
pay the advance based upon the increased
cost of production, while manufacturers
are struggling against a renewed effort on
the part OF importers TO again put up the
price OF hastings and Serges
On the whole, there is good feeling and
prospect in this branch of trade; manu-
facturerS have their hands full OF orders;
and the wholesale fall business mas set in
with an apparent vigor and determination
