The Radicals act on the principal that
a National debt is National blessing.
The Democracy is the only real Union
party. It's great leader, Andrew Jack

preserved.
The Radical doctrine is, on the other
hand, that the Union is "a league with
hell and a covenant with death. ''-( See
Garrison)
The Democratic party is party of
the constitution.
Radical leaders have pronounced that
constitution an ''atroeious bargain"
The Democratic policy aims to encour-
age American industry.
The Radical policy is to crush out
American industry, aud to build up that
of foreign nations (See how they have
thrown the great ship building interest,
for example, into European hands)
The Democracy believe in the soYer-
eighty of the ballot box.
Bullets and Ballots, are the maihstay
of the Radicals.
Under Democratic administration the
country alwavs had peace
Under Radical administration the

The National debt, at the worst times,
was less than hundred millions of dol

Under Radical administration it has

@ The Reverend bruiser of
the Knoxville Wing speaking of
himself, says "the Governor will
not except the nomination of Vice
President" The dirty old hypo'
critic has the assurance, too, to
class himself among christians and
ministers. Before the war no one
was more industrious in foment-
ing strife, while defending slavery
and abusing the people of the
in his vulgar way, than
this pulpit bully-yet, when fight
ing did begin, he sneaked away and
joined the very men he had been
abusing all of his miserable life
Such is Brownlow, the excrescence
who delights to call himself Gov

Negro equality is not popular
with soldiers. A few days age
one Tucker addressed the negroes
about Warrenton, Virginia, ad.
vising them not to work for any
one without they were admitted to
the family circle, and otherwise
recognized as equals. The SOL
diers there became so incensed
that they made an assault on him,
and the officers of that post had to
escort him to the depot to save him
from the infatuated soldiers. Cit
liens took no part in the difficulty.

BroWnloW's Militia.
The Nashville Banner of Tue

The Nashville Banner of Tues
day says:
The entire cost of Brownlow' s
militia has, SO far, been ascertained
to have been S317, 900, which will
when the whole account is settled,
reach $4,000. During the
time the militia was in service,
and up to the first OF January last,
almost every cent of revenue paid
into the State Treasury was used
to defray its expenses. In conse-
quence, when the January (lS68)
interest fell due there was no mon
ey in the Treasury with which to
meet it. How the State credit
was to be sustained by the prompt
fragment of the interest due was
a question very easily answered
by Brownlow and bis advisers
for the sacred school fund, or
what was left after the Radical
bodies had all taken their slice,
amounting to the neat little sum of
s35O,0OO, very quickly suggested
itself as a means by which the
State might be relieved from so
great a financial pressure.
This fund, or at least 100000
of it, was devoted to the payment
of the January interest. We get
this information from a reliable
source.

The Impeachment Trial.


1t is manifest that the Radi-
cal party, having SO unexpectedly
lost Connecticut even under the
banner of General Grant, are on
ly the more impressed with the
necessity of securing all the fed
eral patronage for their own usei n
the coming presidential campaign.
Hence they must substitute some
political co-laborer in the White
House for the present incumbent.
The political necessity" demands
it, and as the Radical leaders in
Congress have not permitted even
the Supreme Court to stand in
the way of their partisan ambi-
ton, we can see no good reason
for entertaining the presumption
that they will hesitate to insist up
on President Johnson's conviction
simply because he has been demon
strated to be innocent. We hope
we may prove mistaken, but we
fear that sufficient number of
United States Senators cannot be
found to Withstand the menaces
of the impeachment managers,
cannot be found willing to risk par
ty destruction to maintain their
own independence.
That no thoughtful man, after
perusing the testimony taken in
the trial so far can believe the
President guilty of singh crimes
and misdemeanors," is too appar-
ent to require argument. That
he made speeches that were in
lamentable taste, is undeniable.-
That he believed the Tenure of
Office Law unconstitutional, and
took the only proper means within
his reach to bring it to the legal
test, is not denied. But, that he
conspired in these things to vio-
late the Constitution he had sworn
to uphold and defend, is what no
sane citizen can ask his COM
mon sense to credit as q reality.
The trial is a farce, a solemn farce,
at best. 1t is a partisan attempt
to get rid of a President OF its
own choice because he will not
carry out its present policy; and
the ludicrous notion, at bottom,
of all this fierce array OF combat
alive legal talent denominated an

Usurpation.

OF Brownlow, especially in rela-
ton to our county election. Wei
understand some exceptions were
taken to our article, but certainly |
we have not transcribed our rights
or our duties as public journalist,
when we ''stand on the watch
towers" and "sound the alarm" at
each approach of the enemy
Journals have become the means
now, and more especially in this
country, of giving the people in
formation of what is going on in
the world around them. Like the
sentinel on the tower, they are
supposed to have an extensive
view--to have On opportunity first
to see the approach of an enemy,
and to alarm the garrison.
Long years ago we warned the
people against impending dangers,
but alas, the fiat of Heaven had
gone forth, and man could not stay
the hand of wrath. We have
been time after time again warn
ing the people Of the dangers that
threaten. II may be again that
they will be powerless to prevent
it, but it is none the less our duty
to sound the alarm.
Distrustfulo f thepeople, Brown
lows reign has been full of usur-
pations. Pursuing the course al
ways adopted by tyrants, and by
those who would exercise despotic
power, he has first interfered
where there has been some SEM
blance of jurisdiction, and of right;
but grown more bold in iniquity,
as is usual in such cases, he now
waits not for the semblance of
right, but relying on his position
and power, and on the submission
of the people, he defantly places
or attempts to place his tools in
whatever position they aspire to.
To accomplish this purpose, he has
treated the citizens of all classes,
associations, corporations, and the
courts of justice with contempt.
Step by step the reins Of despotic
power are seized; the liberties in
tended to be secured to us under q
government are one by
one taken away without being ac- !,
cused of any crime; the rights
guaranteed by a written constitu-
ton are violated without an at
tempt at evasion, and these things
are justified and confirmed before
a venal Judiciary. You say, per-
haps, the picture is overdrawn.
Hoao long aoW 1t be before 1t scill
describe the reality, according to the
present tendency of affairs? In
1860, who would have suspected
we were on the eve of a terri
bic war? In 1861, who could have
foretold the character Of the war,
DR. it's result? In 1862, even, who
would have believed our race
would have been guilty of such
oarbarities as were perpetrated N
,er in the war? In 1866, who
would have predicted the present
state of the country? Therefore
We say, you can make no calcula-
ions upon confidence in man.
Unless q Power Almighty shall
axe charge of and rule the desti-
hes of our people, we verify fear q
We are on the abroad road that S
eads to destruction" 8
