Congressional Canvass in Ten.
( nessee.
e-'- NASHVILLE, Oct. "a.
The canvass between the two Radical
candidates for Congress, S. Q. Mercer and
| W. F. Prosser, is waxing warm in this city.
The friends of Prosser hoisted pole on
public square last evening and run up a
tcarpet bag in the place of the national
colors. The following was published to-
day as private circular, issued by Pros,
ser and the Radical Central Committee
The Congressional election is close at
hand. Radicals must awake for action.
| The enemy are busy. The friends of w.
| F. Prosser must be watchful. 1t is no time
| to be idle. The franchise law, as it now
stands, should remain on our statute books.
| What right have disfranchised rebels in
1 this State to ask the dominant party to re-
store the ballot to them? S. S. Mercer is
/ i'm favor of giving equal rights to all mer !;
| that is, of abolishing the franchise law. He
holds that disfranchisement is hurtful to
| both the white and colored races; that
/ there should be no taxation without
| representation, and that universal suffrage
| should be established in Tennessee He
would delude colored men with the fallacy
that it would be to their interest, after the
| election of Grant, to conciliate white men
| by admitting disfranchised classes to the
ballot, and let all the tax payers assist In
electing our officers. Especially denounce
the vicious heresy. Our only safety lies
in the averting disfranchisement of rebels
in Tennessee. The colored men have
| got their feet on the necks OF
| traitors and they must keep them there
/ Let there be no pardon for rebels.
however fair their words and actions may
be, on this side of the grave. Our own
prosperity depends on their everlasting
prostration. The Gagged wolves must moi
be turned loose to devour. The great duty
now devolving on us is to defeat S. G. Mer-
Ger, who is the friend OF universal suf-
frage, Let all the Radicals work for the
election of w. F. Prosser.
The Republican, Prosser's organ, de-
nounces the publication as forgery.
