full surgeon, in charge, and you will have
the most available, the most ornamental,
and, certainly, the most desirable public
institution in the city; one that will give
your city more character than any OF
your metropolitan monuments. A hos
pital, accessible and roomy, 10 what your
city needs,-as no matter what skill your
hospital faculty may possess, the build
ing is so far from the avenues Of the city
that the patient is too frequently beyond

The news Of negro atrocities, stimu-
lated by Radical incendisries, is having
a good effect in the North, in spite Of
what you may hear to the contrary, and
is butanother nail in the Radical coffin /;
and also, is bat additional proof of what
an inferior race is capable, when uncon-
trolled By law and reason. Then again,
the rape in Vermont; the horrible one in
Bridgeport; the one in Chester county, in
this State (all by negroes), is giving the
honest masses of the North, irrespective
Of party, a fair opinion of what they are
to expect from Radical negro domina-
ton.
/ see from that excoriator of Radicals,
the Aualanche, that Barbour Lewis has
left your city. What relief to that
gentleman, who has contract to remove
carcasses, as the fall of Blewis will be
ike that of Tityus, whom Jupiter struck
for attempting to ravish Latona. When
he fell twas in hell, and he covered nine
acres of land, with vultures on both sides
devouring his entrails, which grew as fast
as eaten Let your offal contractor pre-
pare for at least eighteen acres, for Lewis
is greater helion than Tityus.
Don't believe all you hear about desert
ing Democrats. They are sensational
Radical lies, as, depend upon it. for one
Democrat who deserts the constitutional
Union party of the Union, there are
twenty who join it from the thinned ranks
of the enemy. / know of seven in this
neighborhood. aud the same rule applies
to the entire North, which added to other
evils that now threaten Radicalism, fore
shadow the destruction of that foul party
in November. The Democrats are organ
izing militia companies. They want to
know who threatens Pennsylvania; that
twenty six thousand muskets are required
to keep the peace. And why should not
honest Democrats have their share of
them 2 / think they will. Let me say to
the readers of the LEDGER that the Radi-
Gals intend by all means, fair and foul, to
keep the control Of the government, and
the Democrats intend by all fair means
they shall not. Which sums up ballot
for ballot if fair, or bayonet for foul. The
future can be surmised. BEPro.

friends. Now, let me ask you, from
whom do you receive employment?
Whose farms do you till2 Are they the
lands Of the carpet-bsgger I? No, they
are the lands Of the white people Of this
country. Now, in the face Of oil this,
you are daily voting to oppress us, to
keep us in submission. | am sorry to
say that over in my county, men who
profess TO be ministers Of the gospel are
going about among the colored people
and trying to teach them that the white
people are their enemies. Such, my
colored hearers, are preachers from the
devil. You can know them by their
lank, lean looks--se thin that, honestly,
they do not appear as if they ever ate
full meal in their lives
Down in Nashville, the carpet-baggers
won't let q colored man vote unless he
votes as they want him. They refuse to
issue him certificate unless he promises
to support their Infamous conclaye, and
one of these little bob-tailed Registers
holds the election in his hands; and that
system, to great extent prevails in this
county. Well, you can unshackle us; ;
you can give us the right Of voting Is
there an honest colored man, or an hon.
est Radical either, who believes that he
ought to vote, and that and my people
should not? Do you suppose that these
people Of Tennessee will be kept forever
where they are to-day? They are bound
to get in power some day--how soon
remains in great measure with you !;
but rest assured that that time will come
sooner or later, and don't you colored
men know that if you will come up mag.
unanimously and relieve us. we win owe
you debt Of gratitude that will be gen.
erously repaid

Talk to the Colored People.

At Lebanon, Tennessee, last Thursday
night, there was a Democratic rally, at
which colored persons were we'll repre-
sented. Mr.. c. ". wilkinson, now of Hi
nois, but formerly citizen of Lebanon,
said:
come not as citizen of Tennessee,
but as citizen of Illinois, and my re-
marks to you shall not be addressed to
you as citizens of Illinois, but of Tennes-
see. / come to you as q representative
man of the people of Illinois, and as a
representative of the Democratic party
of that State. | can assure you, my col
ored friends, that there is not a man of
the Democratic party in my State in
favor of demanding you TO slavery. Why,
up in the State of Illinois, in the little
town in which live, which votes seventy
Eve Radical majority, there resides a col
ored man who was engaged in the milling
business, and simply from the fact that
be was NEGRO "a i'd Niger" as
he was called by the Grant men Of the
town-he was run out Of the town; was
not allowed to live there. This is an ex-
cellent illustration of the security of their
property.
Col. ]. W. Head, Of Gallatin, said:
Since the war Ihsve been the firm and
steadfast friend of the black man as well
as the white man. l have labored with
as much zest for their welfare as for my
own. A short time ago was appointed
by judge in my county to defend eight
colored men, who had been arrested,
charged with robbing an old woman. /
labored zealously in their cause, and
succeeded in clearing six Of them. A-s
At Carthage, q few months since, q
colored msn was imprisoned for larceny.
During the session Of the court this man
sent for me. ! went and was met BY the
colored man, with tears in bis eyes, who
promised me Il be could only be released
from Jail that be would willingly serve
his life out ss my slave, The Jail was in
such miserable condition that could
but take compassion on the poor black
man, and went 70 the judge and had him
bailed out. Finally his trial came around
and be was found guilty by the jury and
sentenced TO SIX years imprisonment in
the peni,entiary. or the jury that 60 de-
eided eight were Radicals. the four oppo-
sing being Democrats After considera-
bic trouble q new trial was granted and
by strenuous efforts the colores man was
acquitted. That colored man, after es-
Gaping a miserable existence in the State
