Jim johnson, colOred man who lives

cised the right of free man and voted
for Judge Houk, for which the Radical ne,
groes-sO. called-set upon him and beat
him severely. This is n specimen OF

of the character Of government the
Brownlow party would inaugurate, had
they the power.
itis an instance only where dcsrotism
would reign. 1t is an outrag upon the
rights Of the citizens. 1t is contrary 20
every principle OF liberty, ofthought, and
freedom of speech.
And he who attempts to sustain such
conduct will sooner or later ind that he
must 90 down Now free men Of Tens
nesse, has it come to this, thata free man
cannot vote for whom he pleases, without
being set upou by q mob? Must Brown
low have a star chamber establishment 7
And must q mob compel every man to vote
as they please?
Frecmen of Tennessee, are We, the pe.o-
pie, to submit to the dictatiOns OF unwise
and incxperienced leaders, who will rob
Us Of our liberty Can a Republic exist
and men be thus beaten? Had this man
cast his vote for Maynard, no violence
would have been offered him; yet he was
asailed, he was beaten, and all manner
Of evil done to him, because he voted tor
