out, J. B. Dennis ana T. H. Hancock ad-
dressed the meeting The COMMITTEES then
came in and reported their work, and after
various alterations in the proposed eonstitu-

and one from each district In the county.
NJ. r. Parrish was elected permanent chair
man, and w. Y Robertson secretary. A
large number Of our citizens signed the CON

every man in the county who is in favor Of
Seymour and Blair, and the defeat Of the
radical party viii do the same. The idea
is this: as soon as possible a similar club
is to be established in each civil district Ia
the county, and all work in unison for the
overthrow Of the party that now misruIes
the land. On next Friday night it is pro
posed to hold another meeting and perfect

that the citizens Of Hardeman via respond
with pronptness, as a vice president and the
members of the executive committee are to
be selected. When the club is fully organized
and in working order, it win be cur duty as
well as pleasure to publish all Of The pro
ceedings, so that no one can say that he is
not fully advised os to the aims and objects
of the Conseryatige Club Of HaTdeman
county Cooperation is what is needed;
do not hold Of, but come up next Friday
night and give your assistance to those who
are only anxious to see that the work of
reclamation moves forward with vigor and
certainty Of success. Before the meeting
adjourned the nomination of Seymour and
Blair were ratified without dissenting voice,
and to evince their entire satisfaction with
the work Of the National Convention, will
/ ing hands rolled together large number of
hogsheads, barrels and boxes, and built
bonfire that Illuminated our streets from one
end to the other, while shouts for the nomi-
nees foated on She midnight air.
MEANER THAN GARBRorH-A radical pa
per, speaking of the result of the late cleo
ton in Mississippi, says the people have
voted to keep themselves under military
rule. Was there ever such moekery! IF
a man, or a community, or a State does not
see fit to vote the radical ticket, military rule
is the consequence. Now, we would ask the
Republican, who else but radicals keep
whole States under the control Of one
shoulder strap2 Who fastens upon the pes
pie of whole commonwealth system of
+ tyranny at once revolving and hateful in the
eyes of every gentleman North or South {?
When you say white men keep negroes from
the polls, you know that you, and the he'll
hounds like you, force free born American
citizens to forego the rights the constitution
of common country guarantees to them
And when Southern gentleman persuades
a negro to vote against radical thieves, liars
and scOundrels, you say a great outrage has
been committed, and Immediately call upon
some military bufoon to declare the vote so
Folled null and void. You and radicals
like you, have been deoeiYing the negroes Of
the South for three long years. Ignorant as
they are, and shrewd though you be, they
are finding out your trcachery and base,
selfish designs. They are leaving your
league rooms in disgust, and are returning
to those who never have deceived them.
though they held them in bondage by laws
that you, radical as you-are, were sworn to
defend. If it were not for the frauds
practieed by radicals upon the ballot box
every State in the South would do just as
Mississippi has done-vote the negro against
you and your Office seeking crew A man
that is mean enough to oa1 upon military
ruler to set a ide the election in Mississippi
or any other State, or place, because it
happened to so against his party, is too low
down in the scale Of humanity to lap soup
with a Aopeared hound

MERCER LIKE-Mercer, editor of the Nash
Vile Press and Times, says that 70 the South
ern Democratic papers ought to manifest the
humility becoming to whipped traitors.
Their humility and shame would know no
bounds if it were possible for them to re
fleet that they had been whipped by such
turRcoats and quinine spectators as you,
Mercer; but they know that the brave men
against whom they measured strength on
the battlefield arc too honorable to insult
and too generous to strike fallen foe. This
dirty work is left to those Eo-j-a sneaks
who pirate about "rebels," and who never
saw a cannon loaded with ball
