few remarks at the close of the speaking, in
behalf of the Conservative ticket. Full Of
that enthusiasm Of the cultured German
youth, who have so often struggled in

THE DOG MEETING.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens OF GAINESVILLE was held at the Gym
nasium on last Friday night, to take into
consid eSation the justice and equity of the
"Dog law" and the measures best to be
adopted in the premises.
Charles NJ. Stewart called the meeting. to
order aad, on motion, DR.. z. NJ. Taylor took
the chair, spd J. g. Robins acted as Secre-
tary.
ON motion, a committee of FIVE, consisting
of DR.. d. F. Wright, W. R. Bringhurst, ID.
N. Kennedy, 2. 7. Willis and ]. 7. Carter,
was appo inted to draft resolutions stating the
object Of the meeting, aad the action the cit
liens should take under the circumstances,
with instructions to report Immediately.
During the interval, caused by the franz
ing of the resolutions, Porter's string band
gained eternal reputation by the mastery
execution of "old Dog fray" which being
hnished, the committee reported as follows :
Whereas, recent ordinance Of the Mayor
and Aldermen Of Clarksville, taxing dogs,
has created very general discomfort, and we
believe that the same is an error of judg-
ment on the part of our "Cty Fathers"
without intending 10 Do wrepg, or to be un-
just.
And whereas we believe that a general
and respectful expression Of condemnation OF
said ordinance would induce our "City Fa-
theys" to repeal the same, be 1t therefore
Reoslped, That the Mayor and Aldermen
of GAINESVILLE be, and are hereby, requested
to repeal said ordinance, and to refund the
monies collected to those from whom it has
been received.

CONSERVATIVES CsvR-This long delayed
and most nsedful organization, was effected
last Monday night. 1t has been holding
aightly meetings since, and been stirringly
addressed by some Of our best speakers. The
success of Its efforts has been encouraging,
especially in the addition Of colored men,
bers. This club proposes to enroll all men,
whether DISTINGUISHED or not but Is especially
aimed at a membership of voters. For these
purposes, It designs the establishment of
branches in every civil district in the county.
Themore effectively to accomplish these ends,
we suggest that an Executive Committee be
appointed by the club, whose main work
shall be the selection of men in every dis
trIot TO organize therein similar clubs. II
such work is left to the general action of the
club 1t will be less certainly and speedily
done. This, or another committee, might
also be assigned the task Of caayassiug our
civ II district, to secure membership, by per-
sonal appeal. Aud the branches in the other
districts should be requested to appoint like
committees. Outside Of such methods of
accomplishment the club, both here and in all
the districts, weuld do well to hold frequent
meetings, and demand the tongues of our
best eloquence. By such organization and
such use of 1t, we may be able to inspire the
citizens of the county to those Herculean ef-
forts that pluck glorious triumphs from the
most giant Z, jpotisms. Without awaiting
communications from this club, we call upon
the people throughout the county to begin
the work of forming ''equal rights clubs" at
once in their respective localities, and vi call
upon every man to consider himself COM
mi,teo Of ons, to procure at least one voting
member TO these clubs. Shall one hundred
and Fifty thousand white men of Tennessee.
representing its wealth, responsibility, and
talent fold their arms, whilst petty hand
full Of fools or knaves place their mapacles
upon them? II is true these one hundred
apd fifty thousand cannot vote, but their
concentrated voice, laundering in one grand
peal of indignant utterance, can overwhelm
the lip-6ngered whispers of these midnight
assassips Of the public liberties. Let the now
slumbering lion of Popular viii arouse, and
shaking the dew drops from his name, give
forth his mightiest roar, and these petty ty-
rants will be driven to the obscure retreats
from whence they emerged. If he lies prone
and listless they will fling their heels in his
face, as one of their ancestors did in the days
of Esop.
Major Henry will address the club to-mor-
row night.
