W. Gessler BrownIow.

Our purpose is not to speak Of the Cover
nor of Tennessee. This once proud old
State, whose escuteheone was so fair-whose
honor SO brigbt-whose star SO resplend-
ent-has now no Governor-no Legislature.
A callous, trueulent tyrant-a traitor TO his
State, and usurper Of its government, sits
where Isham G Harris, johnson, Frousdale,
Brown, and other Governors once sat.
Placed there by the eanaile of the county
propped upon the throne of his despotism
by Northern bay0nets-the associate of the
vilest scum of Yankeedom-the violator of
right-the apolOgist of thieves and thespar-
doner Of outlaws, the Parson lords it
grandly over the true people of Tennessee.
For long years he g stole the livery Of Heav-
en- tciF serve the devil in, and his Satanic
master has rewarded MIN. Our Gessler
saw, and worshipped, andlol he is despot
over the Switzerland Of America. Old gem
tleman, your master Is a hard master lie
ought to have put you over all the sotrapies
IN tae South at Least. You might then have
poured out the bitter hatred of-your cold
blooded, demoniac heart, on all the South
ern men who so cordially despise you
Munich your "apples of So1om," Gessler-
suck what comfort yoa can from their bitter
ashes, for the diet Is savory in comparison to
your bill Of fare in the next world where
sulphur baths are. now warming for you.
/ But Gessler, you make yourself ridiculous
when you try to scare the true white men
of Tennessee with Wade and Grant bay
onets. Having endured you with your rob
bing, thievlng, numbering and pIundering
/ Legislature, for three or four years, we are
afraid of FIRE. We feel only contempt
for you and your threats We bide our
time tyraRt. You just keep clear Of the
clutches of the gbostly .Ku Klux for the
present, and your scalp is moderately safe.
You know who = protects his own, while
he has dirty work for dirty hands. No dan
gerof our sHpPingrup On you, nor will
Democratic hand p0Hute itself with your
| filthy carcass, but the white men OF Ten
tnessee viii rise in their might and sover-
eighty, and hurl you and your blood-suckers
from power and place, and give the State a
government Of white men.-Brol0usDiLie Bee
