Legislative Support for Broken
Down Radical Organs.

md Is now q law, so.callcd. VIC agree
with the Nashville Banner in saying
hat the object ofthe bill is to saveffoln
demise the tiith.ratc Radical
sheets now lingering out a slckIy eX
in VARIOUS sections OF Tonnes
sce-which nobody ever reads, and
which even partisan legislation cannot
force into extensive circulation We.
70 farther: We asser t.at every mem
Der who voted for this !a!luity, IS gun
ty Of worse ,Aan highway robbery, 'of
he prostitutes the sanctity oflow to
the vile purpose Of persecution we
declare that we would be afraid TO trust
any man whose heart could sanction
such al outrage. AS rcpul9ivc as isthe
course of Gov. Brownlow 10 US, sc III
most dare to hope he will not exercise
the power thrust upon him, and amy
publisher who would accept money OBJ
tanned by such meals must certainly be
lost to III sens, ofhonor
We should like to know what benefit
there would be 10 any II save the
Radical publisher, in sending legal ad-
vcrtiscmcnt3 from this county to . pa
per in another county, and which pa
per may not be taken by 4 single person
in this. The truth is, the Legislature
had Just as much right, and it would be
no more outrageous, to say That every
merchant in Winchester Should advcr
tisc IN some Radical paper. AS well
order the people to not take Democrat
ic papers, and subscribe for Radical
journals. 1t is the most fragrant piece
Of yindictivencss we cvcr heard OF. 1t
is high handed robbery, most assured
". 1t is an indirect attempt to break
down the Democratic press. The cE-
fort may succeed. We confess it will
drive away the profits of most of the
County papers, but before high Heav-
en- we assert that it cannot create any
love in our bosom for the authors
We will fight Radicalism the harder,
even if we are forced to die in the strug-
gle. 1t is class lcsislation-it is I'M
constitutional, and we want the pub
fishers ofthc State ofTennesscc TO have
it brought before the Supreme Court.
This base thing was concocted not
long since at q meeting of the few BAD
ical publishers in this State. They
wanted money to keep them up, and
this was resortcd to-the vile puppies
