Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-06-22
THE CALLED JADE wINCEs.

The Press and Times Of yesterday has
an article from which we extract as fol-
lows
"The UNION AND DISPATCH quotes an
extract from an editorial which it says APP
peared in the Nashville Union of June 27,
1852, then edited by u.s. The following
sentences occur in the extract ~
awe must get rad of the free negroes.
Our safety and our own happiness alike
demand that we provide them with home.
| The foolish outcry against the cost of doing
this is idle talk. So soon as the work is
fairly begun the expense will be but trivial.
A treaty might be made with the Liberian
government by which the colonists might
be placed under a limited apprenticeship
for two or three years, so that our govern
ment could receive coffee, palm oil, dye
woods, ivory, and the other articles pecu-
liar to Africa, in part recompense for the
expense of transportation
"If any such article appeared in our pa
per at that time, it was during our absence
from the city. We never held any such
views as are expressed in the extract"
We do not wonder that our contempt
rary winces under this exposure, but we
have the record on him, and he cannot
escape by disclaiming responsibility for
the sentiments of the article from which
we quoted. The Nashville Union Of
June 10, 1862, contains this paragraph
1--WE return our thanks TO the gentle
men who contributed toour columns during
=, III of ,,.orofJ hla ahsnnoaO
Here we have the evidence that he re-
turned eight or ten days before this ar
ticle advocating forcible colonization and
apprenticeship appeared There is nOth>
ing to show in any subsequent number of
the paper that he disapproved of the SEN
timents expressed in the article. 1t is
the leading editorial in the paper of
June p, 1862, and bears all the marks Of
having been carefully and deliberately
prepared, while it bears the peculiarities
Of editorials about the authorship Of
which there will be no question. There
is nothing to show in any subsequent is
sue Of the paper that the article
was not written by the editor, or that
it did not reflect the sentiments OF that
parsonage In the same number of the
Union we End the following in a leading
editorial favoring free schools for the
South
1--WE suggest to the few Northern papers
who have been clamoring against the
closing Of DIR. Collyer's negro school by
Gov. Stanley, that the education of the
poor white children is a work of vastly
greater Importance, whose necessity is i'm
perative and immediate. If the magic
wand Of education be placed in the hands
Of the poor Of the South, its power will
lay the dominant faction of that long OPP
pressed section in sleep 50 deep that it
will awaken only when the thunders of
the last judgment shall call Il forth TO re-
eeiye the sentence Of eternal damnation."
There can be no doubt as to the pater
nifty Of this bantling, and it is strictly in
keeping with the views expressed in
colonization and apprenticeship for the
negroes He had no word of sympathy
for the little negroes who had been
turned out Of school and the doors
closed against them by the Military Gov
ernor Of North Carolina On the con-
trary, he rebuked the few Northern
papers who had denounced the closing
of this school, and declared that the
education of the poor white children is a
work Of vastly greater importance"
He says Gov. johnson favored the
colonization and apprentice scheme, and
that he had had several friendly discus
sions with him on the subject Ii is
known that Gov. johnson also favored
what was called the white basis In
the Union of June 81, 1862, side by side
with the article suggesting the colonial
ton and apprentice scheme, is an editorial
on q the white basis representation, in
which this position is taken;
a A certain number Of members OF Con-
gress are apportioned 10 State BY Congress,
and the free white citizens are certainly the
only ones who should be allowed TO choose
those menbersn
He must have had one Of these Friend
" discussions" with the Governor the
