Governor.

The following choice olive branches
are culled from BrOwnlow's Knoxville
Wing Of Wednesday:
During the past week We took trip
into the country, on wheels, rs far as ten
miles north OF our town. The
object Of our visit TO the country WAS 10
! see meeting of the several Union
| Leagues, which took place in the Sew
enth Civil District. Tho.e who datter
/ themselves that the Leagues have died
-out, ought to have been present and seen
! the masses on horseback and on foot,
/ with banners flying. Speeches were de-
/ iivered 10y Messrs. Bouk, Williams and
! Cooper. All WAS order and good cheer
and ail were for Grant and ColiGE.
SENIOR EDITOR.
It is evident that that class Of Knox
vile rebels who still swear they will es-
tablish 8 Southern COnfederacy, and
their more infamous associates who call
themselves Conservative" are bent
upon further trouble.
Hitherto We have cOuuselsd peace, IS
have all men of the Radical party.
These Rssassius have construed our
course to mean cOWsTdice. We no
longer counsel peace. War is what they
evidently desire, and in Gods name We
say let il come. On Gsy street they
lthe Ashby sympSthiseTs) have the
majority. Ii the country we (the radi-
GALS nave the majority. OR friends in
the country tell US they are al armed
and prepared to march into Knoxville
on short notice.
Let the fight come and that speedily,
and we will gut and clean cut the infer
nal traitors aud asssssins who back
Ashby.
The Governor will feel it his duty, aud
be will be certain to discharge that duty,
10 arm and equip the loya! men ct the
expense Of the State, and see that such
riots and mObs are put down, and their
guilty authors punished IS they deserve
TO be punished. The cry OF tyrant, des
pot ami bloody minded wretch, raised
against him, VIII not deter him from the
discharge of what he believes to tie his
duty.
The Buty Of the oId Men 81 the Stale.
Has it ever occurred to you, Mr.. Ed
tor, that there is 4 very responsible duty
resting upon the elderly male citizens Of
the State, which, after the pending Pres
idsntial election, they can never dig
charge The safety Oi public liberty and
the preservation Of Constitutional Gov
eminent have at all times depended, to
d very great extent, upon the number Of
patriotic men who have been trained
from early boyb0Od TO expound the prin-
ciples OF government, and guide the
masses in defending those great pTinci-
pies OF Constitutional liberty upon which
society relies Tor repose aud safety. Be-
fore cur generation passes away, the
succ5edirg one hes sent up 3 sufficient
number to mingie with their predeces-
sors and become trained to the great task,
while enough Of the older ones remain
to train them and induct them into the
elections have for many years past
served as the school in u hieh these era
tors have been trained. Many Of our
must brilliant orators and most useful
defenders of the rights of the people, !
have been picked up at the opening OF |
q Presidential campaign were iuexperi- |
sound of their own voices in a crowd; |
tut they were taken in hand by the old |
experienced political soldiers, and before |
the cam paign was over, they became the |
leaders Of the masses and defenders of /
the poor mans Tights. These formsd /
the nursery from which the people after |
wards drew their Congressman, their Leg /
islatOrs and their Governors. These things |
have been done, and az uubroken chain |
or succession Of cJmpstent men kept on !
hand ny eur generation, tapping over aud |
mingiiug with the one coming on. But IL /
should be remembered that by this mode /
of training ths young has been broken /
up for neSrly eight years. The boy who /
should have been trained st eighteen,
twenty or tweUty-One years of a. e, eight |
years since, is being somewhat sobeTed. |
The time for such training was spent in
camp, and before another general cleo
ton, in l772, We Of the above class will |
be so tbi0nsd out by death that those
who come after Us will have to enter
upon their work without the training so
essential to success. Now, then, Mr.
Editor, propose that our elderly men,
who have stumpsd it'' in former days, |
and know something of the art OF /
90 to work, organize our
political battle array and then send out |
the young fsdglIDgS, give these 8 few
lessons and thea trust them, and thew
will do the work. Hundreds Of them
are orators without knowing it. They
would lie frightened TO hear their own
voices in 3 crowd, but let them feel the
support of the old campaigHer for awhile,
let him see how these things are done,
and " the old man elCqusntn may 90 |
home and go to sleep-Ine young men
will do it all. Memphis alone ought to
turn cut two hundred young orators
nor will they be taken from the legal |
profession alone these embryo orators |
are found behind the counter, in the
work shops, and from the surrounding
farms.
/ remember we'll years ago, when an
ardent young gin maker, of whom no
Dpe had dreamed as an orator, sprang
forth from his shop and, with scarcely
more than single Bound, led his party
.Orth to victory. Que of our trained
orators now in cur midst is said to have
driven drsy. don't know much of
nis art in that line, but | know that
when started cut by his friends be felt
great alarm at the idea of eneounteriEg
his old school teacher on the stump, but
i required only few lessons from older
beads before he led his teacher whole
eDgih in debate and distanced him at
he polls. Let US call out our young
men. Yes; call them ont all over the
State. Give them q few lessons and the
work Is done. CAMDEN.
