We have heard similar sentiments
Iuite as vigorously expressed, within
the day or two past, from Republicans
who were formerly admirers of Brown

The success Of the principles and policy

in Ten sse., | left unchecked, will ul-

whole fabric Of constitutional liberty.
Those Conservative Republicans have
been rather tardy in coming to these
conclusions, it is true, but that they

Now, anything that will nauseate
Horace Greeley, and politicians Of that
stamp, must be bad-so bad, indeed,
that it must work its own cure. The

so it is with the Radical poison this old
miscreant has been administering to the
people Of Tennessee. TIE ignorant

Another hopeful indication Of good
results from this caricature of an cleo
ton is visible in q rupture among the
Tennessee Radicals themselves, Of a
character that a scarcely he healed.
Two factions have already sprung up
in their camp; II is known as the
Northern Republicans the other as
the Tennessee Radicals The form
er are chiefly adventures and squatters
from the Northern States, who have
gone down to Tennessee in search of
constituencies. The latter are mean
whites natives of Tennessee, who are
opposed to these outsiders thus com.
ing down to take the bread out of their
Internationally loyal mouths. The
difference between the two was leauti-
fully exemplitied the other day in some
ofthe county conventions for the choice
of Representatives. The Northern Re.
publican candidates were uniformly
thrown overheard, while the native
Tennesseeans' were put in nomination.
The Northern Republicans have con-
troll Of the Union Leagues throughout
the State, and in that way were able to
run the machine to suit themselves so
