Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1867-02-13
Tennessee.

Under the above heading we copy the following
editorial from the Washington Chronicle by far the
most largely circulated paper published at the Ma
tionsl Capital. While the loyal men of Tennessee
and Gov. Brownlow are traduced and denounced by
the bood-hounds Of treason and the ours of Coaser-
vAtsm it is gratifying to see the appreciation in
which they are held by the loyal and true men of
the Republic. Says the Chronicle:
There is an inspiration in the manner in which
the Unionists of Tennessee conduct their campaign
against treason. They attack their enemies boldly,
and always employ the strongest language to de-
the State, and all of than of powerful convic-
tons, they surpass the Northern Radicals in the
earnestnees and persstency of their loyalty and it
would that they destined to carry the day.
It is characteristic of the Union newspapers of
Tennessee that they are all oHtspoken and thorough
and It may be freely said that because they sue
cess rewards their efforts. The Memphis Post the
Knoxville Wing, the Nashville Press and Times,
are nowhere surpassed for ability and determine
ton. The Union Flag, published at Jonesboro
Tennessee, is another Of the class, and the
number before is filed with able and hopeful
ticles From its leading article in favor Of negro
suffrage We take the following extract
Here follows an editorial of the Flag which We
have not space to copy in this connection.-EditOr

Again says the Chronicles.
Our telegraphic intelligence from Nashville, pub
shed in yesterdayss Chronicle shows that this bold
ground has been successfully taken in the Legsla-
ture Of Tennessee, and that there is every probable
ty of the early passage of law comforting suffrage
upon the colofed men Of the State. The consum-
nation Of this glorious work viii secure Tennessee
in perpetuity against traitors and their sympathi
zers.
On the AID Of February inst, the Radical Union
Convention assemblies at Nashville to nominate a
candidate fer Governor. We are glad that Governor
Brownlow seems to have 30 opposition. The value
of one good, brave man never was so completely
tested as by the example of Brownlow throughout
the rebellion How different from Andrew Joba-
son long the latter seemed to demand the right
to lead he maintained the good fight when his faith
less cotemporsry gave way, and now, while more
than twenty millions contemplate the treecherous
accident in she Presidential chair with indignant
scorn, they turn with afectionate remembrance to
the brave and faithful Brownlow, who maintains
the truth with even fervcr than he did at the
beginning Of the struggle. Rverywhere these heroic
frage, and by the following article from the Nash
vile Press and Times it will be seen that they are
confident Of carrying the State;
Following this is the article Of the Press and
Times which want of space prevents our copying.

The Chronicle concludes with the following state
ment, which win certainly Be verified
The election of Stokes, Maynard, Arnell and
Hawkins is scarcely doubted and now we are in
formed that Taylor one Of the leading champions
Of Andrew johnson in the House is 70 be laid on
the shelf
