MEMPHIS. April Z. 1861


Fear nothing. There viii be a trade made,
30 an old fogy tells me. Negotiations are
pending which will adjust all partizan
troubles IN Tennessee. You must know
that the great body Of the people care moth
ing about the Offices of the country. 1t
signifies nothing who fills them if we are
suffered, quietly and peaceably, to hoe corn
and dig potatoes If Radicals viii govern
decently and suspend their robberies, sup
/ press Brownlow's body guard and knock
/ Metropolitans on the head if we are re-
! iieved Of exactions, and the Nashville gov
eminent will only be modest in plunderlng
the treasury-it is proposed, on these .cOndi-
tions, that we stand aloof from politics till
after the Presidential election. Ben. Wade
or the devil may be President, and Brown
low have unrestricted sway through another
term, if we be enfranchised, and this con-
slant effort to make those enemies who must
live as friends no longer characterize local
legislation We will send Conservative
colored men to Congress from each District
of the State, and will not vote in the Presi-
DENTAL election of 1868 All we ask is that
|
ton to make the hair on the back Of Radi-
calism turn the wrong way, or threaten US
with crucifxien at the hands of his ten
thousand jannissaries. If we viii agree to
support Brownlow thus passively, he will
surely temper the wind to the shorn lamb,
and we can go along very sheepishly through
the next two years in pathways Of unques-
tioning obedience to Radicalism. This is
the more easily done since it is commonly
! agreed that none besides sound Conservative
colored people are to be sent to Congress,
and with this understanding, the colored
vote, in all other elections is to be given to
adherents of the Presidents party Very
plainly it is BrownlOw's interest to make this
trade, suggested by an old citizen of Mem
phis
The pendulum of popular prejudice vi
brates. 1t begun to 90 backward in Con-
necticut, and viii move just as far in the
direction of local independence as it was,
last week. pointing to an memorable, intol-
cradle despotism. That unnatural COM
preston of States, growing out of Congress
ionaI legislation, viii be relieved by re-
bound, of force in exact ratio. with that en-
ployed IN converting the Federal Union into
a consolidated oigarchy,
FAILURES AND SUSPENSIONS.
There was no great harm done by the sus-
pension of two large houses in this city.
The local indebtedness of Myers d Co, and
J of Walcott, Smith & CO. is trifing. The
suspension of the first and change of name
of the second resulted from the failure of a
Cincinnati house, which had partnership
interest with the two firms above named.
The local credit of Walcott, Smith & Co. is
unimpairod, and they still conduct their
business, though under the name ola Gin
cinnati creditor.
