There is a fixed unalterable determine
ton on the part Of the Conservatives
throughout the entire Safe of Tennessee,
TO refuse employment to every negro who T
arrays hipself against his employer. Duty /
aud self-respect demand such course
Over twelve months ago-we urged such |
policy, and we are rejoiced to see the Con-
servative party everywhere adopting it
Hon. Emerson Erheridge. our glorious
standard bearer, makes the issue broad
aud distinct-as distinct as the negro can
possibly desire. In his speech at Hum
boldt he said, "Forbid all intercourse bet
tween Conservative families and those of
Radicals or Unionists. He warned them
against even permitting the children to
play together, aud enforcing universal pro-
scription Of loyalists as solemn duty on
the part of rebels declared that if he were
so unfortunate as to have Radical son-in-
law. the only tribute he would pay to his
memory when dead, would be to pour up
on his grave as an indignant libation, a
quantity of bad whisky If Conserva-
tives are .'rebels,' traitors, F." and unworthy
exercising rights guaranteed the negro, of
course they are not fit to purchase goods
from or to associate with Radicals. The
Nashville Gazette, one of the soundest and
able,t papers in the State. also give utter
ance to the same noble sentiments in the
following language: ''Let US determine
fully and unequivocaily come veal or woe,
that we viii not buy a cents worth Of goods
from Radical merchant, have our boots
manufactured by a Radical shoemaker,
employ Radical mechanic, ride in Rad
cal colored hack, shave in Radical bar
Der shop; send our children to a Radical
teacher, attend Radical church, employ
a Radical servant, or in fact, have ?. s.nothing
whatever to do or to say to any one who is
Radical, or who refuses US equal rights
| with himself in the State or general gov
ernment. The money in this country is
in the hands of Conservative men, and by
all means let them keep it among themsel-
yes f; and if there is one among US who is
! SO cowardly and SO void of manhood as to
| be unwilling to enter into the determna
ton, let the balance of US look down upon
! him as too mean and too contemplate for
our association, and class him a.eo with the
! yilest and most degraded and infamous as
sociations on earth-the Radicals" The
Lebanon Herald echoes back the same firm
determination "There is left, in our
opinion, but one course for our people to
pursue-discharge every negro hand on
your farm who has voted the Radical tick
ct, and fill his place with a white man !;
withdraw your patronage from every man,
woman, or child, black or white, who
avows himself Radical If this is done,
we will at once see the effect of this good
work We speak with no uncertain voice.
The time for action has arrived, and it re-
mains for our people to say whether they
will remain the slaves of the party now in
power, or will come out boldly in defense
of their freedom" These views so gene
rally entertained by the Conservative party,
have caused a preconcerted howl among
the Radicals, If the negro turns his back
upon his old master. protector and best
} friend, he must look to those for whom he
votes and with whom he sympathizes fol
} aid and support. The Conservatives have
no unkindness toward the negro. They
recognize them as equals before the Law
and at the ballot-box but if the negro re
2 fuses white men the same rights he enjoys
, an antagonism will thus be engendered tha
will result in untold misery to both races
It is natural for men to hire friends instead
, of enemies, and the negro cannot expect {,
meet in Loyal Leagues and enact schemes
: for the disfranchisement and degradation
of the white men, and afterwards receive
, employment from those he drives from the
= ballot-box. We admit the negro has
4 right to vote for whom he pleases, but a
: the same time the Conservatives have th
e right to employ whom they please; an,
5 they intend to exercise this right by en-
] ploying their friends instead of their enc
} mics. If the negro is determined TO array
S himself against the white man, much a
5 such a contest is to be deplored, the issuc
: viii be boldly met.
