toREWARNED, FOREARMED. ON several
occasions we have referred to the propriety,
nay, actual necessity, of a thorough organ
ization Of the Conservatives of Tennessee,
for the purpose Of making doubly sure that
which is devoutly wished for by nine-tenths
ofthe people of the State I. e, the utter
crushing of the few in next August who have
been ruling US with unlawful measures, and
dominating as tyrants and usurpors never
before dominated in any republican govern
ment under heaven, and we are pleased to
sec that some of the p;ess are favoring the
movement, while alas others are drawing the
doubtful cloak of over conf lence too closely
about their shivering hubs. We must stand
together, work together and see that the
friends Of tyranny are met Mt every turn with
solid and reliable arguments As general
thing the people of tie interior need to be
informed of the hateful laws and measures
enacted, and of the base tools made use Of
for the purpose of continuing in power ii set
Of men who would rob the people Of their
property and constitutional rights When
the mail routes were open and the people
cOuld get the current news Of tile day
through the medium of the press, it was
deemed necessary to canvass every county ;
now, that but few mail routes are open, and
the people deprived Of their newspapers and
correspondence, how much more is it nee
essary to have able and eloquent orators
visit each county and post the people as to
the gulf we are approaching through the
agencies of the selEstyled loyal men of
Tennessee. For the sake Of our future well
fare, let a convention be called, and let that
convention select candidates for Federal and
State offices. True it is that the law-abiding,
suffering Conservatives out-number the horde
of willful law-breaking Radicals five to one,
but it must be borne in mind that not more
than one-fourth, if that of the Conservative
men Of this State are or will be allowed to
vote because of the dirty franchise law en-.
acted by bogus Legislature, and the fact
should be constantly borne in mind that we
have to win converts from the misguided
ones who assisted in elevating the mutilators
to Office in 1865. If all were allowed to vote
there would be no necessity for thorough
stone should be unmoved that will assist US
in the good work of redeeming this State
from the whirlpool of destruction into which
it has been thrust by men who legislate for
the sole purpose of carrying out their selfish
ends. We know the people of this section
are in favor of organization, and have every
reason to believe that in all other sections OF
the State the masses Of the people are alive
to the great necessity of the movement
Again we ask Will the Conservative press
call for a convention If such step is not
taken, we venture to say that the August
elections viii result in no good to the people
of Tennessee. Let US fight every inch Of
Radical encroachment with determine
ton worthy of tho just cause we represent
and be prepared to meet the mouth-pieoes o.
Radicalism on every hill top, and in every

Charter Oak.

The Hartford Cowam says: Ten
years ago yesterday, the old Charter
Oak tree was blown down Since then,
thousands of things, useful and orna-
mental, have been carved out of the
wood, and are scattered all over the
country. There are few people in Hart
ford, who keep up with the times, who
have not some memento. But macy
frauds have been practised in the sale Of
the wood. Could all the articles which
are called Charter Oak be collected to-
gether, there would be material enough
probably to form a small forest of trees
equal in size to the one blown down.
