Of harmony and to give some stability to

every man to his seat in the Legislature

Should we vote for them, the era of good
feeling would be brought about, and
they would not legislate in the Radical
way they are now doing under the fear
that we are eudesvoring to oust them, by
fair means or foul. The country people,
at any rate, don't care what man may
call himself in the Legislature so long as
he legisIates for the interest and welfare

From all the observations was able
to make during my tour through the
county, / have come to the following con-
clusions: That there has undoubtedly
been outraees committed in Maury
county, but that they have been greatly
exaggerated in horror of detail as well
as in number; that the blacks commit
more outrages, five to one, than the
whites, call them Ku-Klux or anything
else; that the happiest negroes are the
steadiest hands on the plantations, who
care little for politics; that the worst
class of negroes is that under the control
and manipulation m Of Northern political
wire pullers who use them as their plant
tools; that Northern men Of extreme
Radical ideas, who rove through the
county canvassing for votes, are at the
bottom of all the troubles of the interior
of West and Middle Tennessee. h1

iaFtYou have been told to arm yourselves
against the whites. What would be the
result Of arraying the two races? "A

my friends, let me tell you, the moment
the war of races is insugurated, that mo-
