WHICH GOVERNMENTS

A party that cannot succeed except
through Acknowledgement, riots, blood
shed and confscatiou, must, of necessity
he of brief duration. There are, in this
country, oRly two modes ofgovernment.
One is the old.fashioned mode of popular
elections, where every man possessed
the right to deposit his ballot for the can
ddate his judgment approved. The
other mode is that Of the bayonet We
are fighting that question in Tennessee
today Divested of all surplus append
age, the simple issue for us to determine
is. shall we have the ballot or the bayo-
uet2 Brownlow's party are for the bay
onet, because they discard the only other
mode, the ballot. If this be denied, will
some one answer this question: How
are eighty thousand disfranchised white
men, the owners of the property of the
State, and the taxpayers, to be kept
from the polls except by bayonets?
Fifty men see a solitary man walk
up to the polls and vote. They are
as good as he, and walk up and
offer their votes. Can one man drive
fifty men from the ballot box2 No, but
this one man has at his command a
SQUAD of soldiers who charge upon the
fifty men and drive them of. But sup
pose these men do not attempt to vote
The one man will distrust them, de-
nounce them as disloyal, and keep bay
onets to guard against contingency. Is
not such a system purely military Has
not Brownlow disfranchised these fifty
men, and has he not organized an army
for the express purpose of driving them
from the polls if they attempt to vote?
This is the issue. This is what people
who can vote, will vote for or against
next August. The military system is
unconstitutional, tyrannical and infa'
nous. 1t is rank treason to the law and
to all the glorious traditions of our
Government. Why do We guard the dust
of Mount Vernon with such tender carer
For half century no vessel on the
Potomac has passed that spot
without greeting, in reverent awe,
theIhallowed shade of Washington. Why
is all this respect paid 10 his memory
and his dust2 He was the hero
in the sublime epic Of Republican
liberty in America. Did his sword rivet
chains of Acknowledgement on the limbs
Of the people? No. 1t rent them
asunder and shivered the fragments to
atoms. How dares a Radical to look
the picture of Washington in the face z
The very shadow of that sublime eoun-
tenance, caught upon paper, should make
him start and wonder il he really be-
longed to the human race. Washington
established--a military government 2
A despotism Did he keep a standing
army to beat down the rights Of the peo-
pie ? Did his character, did his admin
istration, in the ten thousandth part ola
degree resemble that Of Brownlow ?
Forgive us, High Heaven, pardon us, thou
shade ofthe immortal Fatherof his Cou l.
try, for suggesting such a comparison.

that these organizations with whose n.,nos
we are familiar are always TO be. They win
not. Each was born out of some exigencv
into some opportunity, and destined when lis
work is done 10 fall into decay and die. Our
church has had a good work 70 do, nav has
ii still, the projecting Of the republican rrn
eiple ofself government into all these churches
which are subject to the supreme control of
an ordained ministry. We know in part how
nightly this principle is working, how strorg
the power OF the lalty has become and is be-
coming IN the two great bishopgoverned
rrotes,ant churches of our country, the Epis-
copalian proper and the Methodist Episcopal.

the dawning has begun, and rejoice AT tbe
discovery, ldeslre early to greet it and rejoice
In 1t, as would rise cary 10 behold the
splendor of summer sunrise. The pledge
IS before us, that it is a practical thing.
we are no longer to pray for it as an uneer-
tam thing, but to pray for it as those who
nave seen ITS beginning, and are supported by
the sure knowledge that tendencies point with
unerring finger to iulfilments. Some people
appear 10 have thought that those mansions
Whieh Jesus says he has gone to prepare in
heaven are htted up with various degrees of
spendor, and that over the door of this one Is
written FOR rCongregationalsts, over that, For
Methodlsts, over that, For Baptists. No,breth-
ren; that folly does not thrust itself into beay-
en-, ana IN this past week we have become
familiar with the tact that we can well dis
pense with it here
1--WE give merely the heads ofthe remainder
OF this discourse, regretting that our limits
will not allow more.
2. The second lesson drawn from thasa ,oao+-
in9s has been that the great settler OF theo-
logical controversies, and better still the per-
manent welEspring OF church life and activity
Is more WORK, more aggressive, missionary
effort La relieving all forms OF suffering and
sin.
3.That to accomplish this the churches must
organize as they have never done, must find
what each brother and sister can best do, and
then set them in that field which they can
best till.
4. That the churches must recognize them
serves and be recognized as the great moral
poper in the ecommunity; that Christ and his
cross must be the center of ali reform and all
hte-givng activity.
8. And lastly that all work must be attempt
ed In absolute reliance upon that hep from
ADORE which lalse religions have never had
and which is the surest token u at the religion
OF Christ is from God.
