prejudice ranking in the hearts of q
fow fanatics of the North, and an equal
number Of fre-eaters of the South that
aided in bringing upon our country
the late war, which came very near,
sapping the foundation of our civil,
and religious freedom. The people
ought TO learn from the evils Of setion-
aim to say and do better things in
the future. There should be no North,
South, East, or West, sectionRlIy
speaking in all our land-we have but
one country, and consequently, are but
one people.
Although born and raised in what
is called the " Buckeye State" yet |
feel that this State is my homo, and
am entitled to all the privileges of a
ndtiue born citizen, and l don't want
any man to attempt by open deelara-
tions, nor by innuendo, to deprive me
of these God-given rights, as long as |
obey the laws of the land, by word and
deed. We are sometimes called "mis-
sionaries, and political preachers" by
way of derision. We don't expect the
enemies of God, and our country 10 be
well pleased with us, but we do look
for different treatment from men that
fear God, work righteousness, and are
loyal to our country. In the Ian
guags of Rev. John Wesley, "The
world is the Parish Of every Christian
minister" and wherever God in bis
Providence sends His ambassadors,
they are at home. There is no class
of men, whatever their trade or pro.
fession may be, but what are entitled
to all the rights have mentioned, as
long as they exhibit . law-abiding
spirit. We hope that hereafter, the
terms Northerners, Missionaries"
&C., will not be used derisively. Per-
sons possessed OF JdscbeL spirit, and
superdMnuated old md,dS, may be in-
dulged in the use of such epithets, but
from Christian men and women We ex.
pcct different things. The more qui-
city, and Peaceable people live, the
better will it be for themselves, and
the better will it be for our neighbors.
Let the Golden Rule, "do unto others,
as you would they should do unto
you," be carried ont in all the affairs
oflife, and heauea will spring up in ev-
cry heart. L. f. DRAkE.

OUP PPeIudlceS,


We find the following eXcellect let
ter from our townsman, Rev, DR.
Drake, Presiding Elder Of this Dis
trict, in the last number of the Greene.
vile NelC Era. DIR. Drake is one OF
those sterling Christians who are ever
working to elevate and better the con-
dition of their fellows-true to their
country and their God. Would that
the country were full of such men,
His remarks are full of truth and 80
berness.
Mr.. EDIToR Tho New Era has al-
ways been u welcome visitor to my
house; but never moro 30 than the
last weeks issue. The very truthful,
and ably written article, headed-"our
preiudices against Northern Men"
was road carefully, and with q glad
heart. | feel confident that it will do
good, even TO those who have been
contaminated with prejudical feelings
and sentiment. We have always pub
lished to the world that this land Of
ours was tho home of the free, and an
asylum for the oppressed of every ma
tiOn. England has said, that when an
individual sets foot upon Brittons soil,
that he stands upon the land of free
dom. Shall we let the crowned heads
Of tho old world boast of more free
dom than we enjoy! Wherever q
citizen of these United States takes
up his abode, that is his homo and no
man dare lawfully molcst him, as long
as he is obedient 10 tho laws of the
land. The man who was born and
raised 10 South Carolina, and moves
TO tho State of Maine, has guaranteed
TO him, all the rights and privileges
that belong TO the native born of that
State and he would be the meanesl
kind Of Yankee, who would attempt
to put paddock on his mouth, or 9th
erwise abidge his civil and politica
freedom. A certain writer has said
f" He that is possessed with a preju
dice, is possessed with a devil, and orC
of the worst kind of devils" Anoth
or writer speaking moro extensively
upon this subject has also remarked
"Prejudice may be considered as
continual false medium Of viewinl
things, for prejudiced persons not only
never speak well, but also mover think
we'll OF those whom they dislike, ant

Salt in Tennessee.

We presume, says the Knoxville
Commercial, that it Is we'll known
throughout our State that several Oil
Companies were formed at McMinn-
vile, which commenced operations,
and sunk shafts. Instead of finding
Oil, they found saltwater of tho very
best quality for manufacturing salt
Several entorpriSing men have taken
hold of this development, and unlcss
wo are very much mistaken, these
Salt Wells will prove as good, If not
better, than the gold mines Of Cali
fornia, or Colorado. There are great
many valuable considerations attend
ing them.
First: They are located in tho heart
of great country, that is supplied
from far off markets.
Second: The climate here is far bet
ter for evaporating than in Ohio, or
other northern States, and there is .
flow of Gas from these wells sufficient
to furnish fuel for boiling purposes
We have received the following letter
from party who has been inveStiga-
ting the works for the purpose OF in
veatment:

One plain fact is ever to be preferred
to fallacy, no matter how glittering
and the great truth that every State
which has Radical Governor and 8
Radical Legislature has prospered ii
everything, disposes Of q million Cop
perhead calumnies and dissipates q
million rebel prophecies. As We read
over the surprising statistics setting
forth the prosperity and progress ol
such States as Illinois, Iowa, Michi.
gan, Wisconsin, Kansas and Missouri,
we involuntary recur to the bold ex-
amples Of their Senators, Representa-
tives, Chief Magistrates and Legisla-
lures, aided by q fearless Republican
press, and the quick and careful man
ner in which these faithful public SER
wants are sustained by q grateful pco-
pie. No more striking proof of this
truth could be found than the effect
Of the Radical policy upon Tennessee.
Suppose Tennessee had been permit
ted to fall under the daggers of her
traitor sons, like Kentucky and Mary
land, Theclo of the rebellion would
have found her not free 10 pursue her
own course and choose her own desti-
ny, but fsttered to tyranny only Sc
cond TO that Of Slayery-the tyranny
Of Copperhead rulers. She would be
like both these States, more incurable
than the original rebel States them
selves. Under the inspiration of Rad
ical and progressive doctrines, howev-
er, Tennessee is to-day the best recon
structed State in the South-a model
Republican government that some Of
the States Of the North could profta-
by initiate. While Kentucky, Mary
land and Delaware still glory in their
exclusivenesa, and retain upon their
statute books the most disgraceful and
aristocratic laws, Tennessee has rati-
fed the two amendments of the na-
tional Constitution, has provided that
colored men shall testify In her courts
and vote ut her elections, has made
liberal appropriations to her great
railroads, established q metropolitan
police, e,organizsd universal free schools,
and, finally, enacted q statute to equip
q State guard, which, under the au-
thOrity Of the Governor, shall preserve
the public order, and protect the
rights OF all men, irrespective Of race,
color or condition. Governor Brown
lows proclamation announcing bis de-
termination TO execute tho law in the
spirit of those who passed it, and in
accordance with the public exigency
that demanded it, will be found in an.
other column, Brave, honest aud nm

reigned through y long and bloody
trial. Assaulted with measurelesS

The Copperheads complain bitterly
tn at forty or fifty thousand of their
rebel friends are disfranchised in
Tennessee by the Radicals; and that
is the reason they say, why the State
has gone for the Republican ticket by
so immense majority. But they
point to the enormous s. Democratic "
majorities which Kentucky gives as
an offset Why? Because, forty or
fifty thousand Union men in that
State, are DISTINGUISHED by the
Democrats" They have no right
to complain of the disfranchisement
of their rebel friends in Tennessee so
long as our colored Union friends are
disfranchised in Kentucky.h's What is
sauce for the goose should be- sauce
for the gander. Y Let them enfran-
chise the colored Unionists in Ken
