Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-09-26

ATTENTION G.. A. R-There will be a
called meeting of the Grand Army Of the
Republic tonight at the Opera House, on
Church street, near the Chattanooga depot.
Let there be full attendance of the mem
bers, as there is some very important bust
ness 10 transact. BY order OF the Post
Commander.
Which we take frem the Press and
Times of yesterday What important
business has this UNANIMOUSLY bloody
organization got on hand in Nashs
vile at this particular time2 Is it
to carry out its professed object
to care for the widows and orphans
Of deceased Federal soldiers This cell
is indeed important and deserves the
particular attention of the authorities
and people of Nashville Last July, Dist
day, we published an exposure of the
object of the Nashville Post The
writer said
say further, that these leaders Of the
Nashville Post, q. A. r., who will control
the entire camp, if they can. to the same
end, have been and still are cooperating
with the Loyal Leagues in preparing for
riotous violence, bloodshed, death to
Rebels" and destruction to Rebel property
on the day Of election. On the night of
ThurBday, July 1lth inst, a meeting was
held at an Office on Church street, by COM
mittee composed of representatives of the
q. A. X. and the five leagues in Nashville.
Bloodthirsty and fendish addresses were
made at this meeting. Res EDITIONS were
offered and adopted to carry out the general
purposes of that meeting-which were to
organize the Loyal Leagues into companies,
10 be drilled and armed for the occasion.
The declared object Of this preparation, is
TO iRtimidate or drive from the polls, every
man who dares oppose in any manner the
cause of Brownlow and his party. They
will, as far as it lies 10 their power--if they
carry out the plans already discussed and
adopted by them-preyent the peaceable
CITIZEN from going TO the polls and voting
his sentiments if they be against their party.
In case of a collision between individuals
of different sides, they are sworn to take
the part of the Radical man, whether he Is
in the right or wrong. If the work is begun,
and they meet with resistance from any
quarter, they are pledged to slay without
mercy all opposers; and If necessary to
burn houses and destroy property generally.
My conviction is that these fiendish men
would not hesitate to slaughter without
discrimination of sex or condition, or TO
lay the city in ashes, or permit their fol-
lowers to engage in rapine and plumber,
when once infuriated by the splitting OF
blood
We are now having a renewal OF these
bloody preparations To the leading
members of this leagued band of cons
spirators, the city election is even more
important than was that of August.
Their names and vocation and designs
are fully known We have kept con-
slant and vigilant watch upon their pro
ceedings They are seeking the oppor-
tunity which was denied them in August,
and think it is near at hand; and are
preparing accordingly.
We call especial attention Of the author
tiles, military and civil, to the G. A r.,
and its present plottings against the
lives and property of this community,
and recommend that every citizen be on
his guard against their deyilish machi-
nations.
