the debates that followed, and especial

Brownlow-how he spoke Of the col

Now my colored fellow citizens,

lieve the colored man to be us bad q
man as he is painted in the Brownlow
haranguc against Prync, There is not

not rush to-day to the protection Of
white women from the fendishness of
such brutes as Brownlow says the ne

is all pumpkins!
"NIGGERs" VS.. "CoLoRED FELLOW -CITI-
IzENs.'
| want to remind my colorcd fellow
citizens Of another piece Of history. a
few years ago Brownlow announced
that the devil came into New England
in the shape ola niggcr!'
You are "colored fellow citizens
now, you see, but then you were "nig-
gers" Let me tell you that when the
devil goes out of Tennessee it will be
in the shape of the meancst white Rad
ical and apostate rebel that ever cursed
the earth.
"sNUFrED ouT LIKE A CANDLE"
Brownlow says, again, he is glad yor
are free, because you will finally be ex
tinguishod? DO you know what ex
tinguishcd means? Why, that you vii
be blown out like a candle, when thcr,
is no further use for you. And yc
they would cajole You into their mid
night leagues, and have you learn to
sing their radical slogans, such as, "a
pink of perfection is Billy Brownlow,'
or that other war lyric ofhow-
Ben Butler was Il soldier brave,
A soldier brave was he,
And had for silver spoons and sicll---
A parti-ali-ty.
Brownlow says the rebellion sot the
negroes free. Exactly. Then it is to
the rebellion and not to Brownl0w that
you are indebted for .he freedom which
you now enjoy. But Brownlow fur.
ther says that, being free, you will also
like the Indian tribes, be cxterminated
or driven from the country.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
Who was the first man that yer pro-
claimed you free in Tennessee Was Il
not Andrew johnson? Voice, "Yes."]
Why, Ofconrse it was. 1t was not Brown
low. 1t was not Stokes, or any other
hcnchmen or rebel apostateS. Ii was An
drew johnson who first proclaimed free
dom to the black man in this his native
State.
STOKES REBEL DEsERTERs.
Stokes said, the other day at Trenton
that he had at one time one hundred rcbe
descrtcrs in his regiment. Well, all | hav,
to say is, that regiment ought to mutiny
against Stekcs for the assertion. If 1t i
true that they deserted from the rebel ar

.GERRTTT SMITH AND WILLIAM STOKES.
a short time ago couple of the prom

Gerritt Smith, who did so much for colorc
men in times past; who had given Of h
wealth to buy them farms; who had lile

Now. Alr. Stokes is not 50 liberal in hi
