Tur TRTTH on HTsTORY.

In 1858, when the late President Lin
coin was stamping Illinois, in opposition
to Senator Douglas-he Mr.. Lincoln) said;
Judge Douglas has said TO you, that he
has not been able 10 get from me an answer
TO the question, whether am in favor Of
negro citizenship. So fer as | know, the
Judge never asked me the question. He
shall have no occasion TO ever ask it again
for tell him frankly that / ana not in ia
vor of negro citizenship
On another occasion he said he 'was not
in favor of bringing about in any way, the
social, aud political equality Of the white
and black races" Il am not,n (said he,
"nor ever have been, in favor Of making
voters or Jurors Of negroes, nor of qualify
ing them TO hold Office" He was opposed
10 slavery, aud in favor Of colonizing in
distant settlements, the emancipsted ne
groes, but not for negro citizenship, or any
Thing like negro supremacy.
La 1855, when in Congress, Mr. Lincoln
said, on the subject Of secession and rebel
loo:
"Auy people, anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have a right 10 rise
un. and shake off the existing government

THE WAR IN DYER.


TarIItngton's Troops without work
and without Pay-The Question OF
Remuneration The Extent Of she
OnfrRge.
From the Dyersburg Gazette. Feb. 20.
Dyer Is the best abused county in the
State, notwithstanding her people are qhiet,
law-aBiding and honest. Our Radicals,
the Nashville Press and the Memphis Post
have told and published the most unmiti-
gated ami damhable lies on our people,
times without number We clip The fol-
lowing from the Pres and 1imes Of last
week:
"Priyne advices from Dyer county in
form IA that some Of the Rebels are ex-
eeedingly violent in their language, and
are threatening the lives of prominent
Union men. The Magistrates refuse to al
low the claims Of Sheriff Harrington FOR
raiiohs furnished sia pofse."
There is not word Of truth in it, and
the cowardly, sneaking wretch that wrote
il knew it. NObody's life has been threat
ened here. And the Magistrates have not,
by law, had an opportunity 10 act upon the
claims referred TO. But, when the time
does come, e they allow the claims, it will
be in emphatic opposition 10 the will of the
people.
Right here, let ne say a word for the
benefit of the soldiers, as their pay has
been town-talk for some days. Dyer
county can make no allowance for ANY
claims until its April term. If it then
makes an allowance for soldiers pay, the
soldiers cannot get any money, for there is
no money in the treasury. The soldiers
will be paid in scrip, just az we have been
for printing, aud then they will have to
sell the scrip on the street for whatever it
will bring, unless they desire TO keep it as
a souvenir Of their pilgrimage to Dyer
county.
A greater outrage was never perpetrated
on any people, than is the leyyiug of this
war tax on the citizens Of Dyer county. 1t
il uncalled for, unnecessary, unjust and OPP
presEye. The soldiers have been here for
three weeks, aud they have not performed
a single duty, for the simple reason that
there is nothing for them 10 do. They say
they never saw n more pescesble or law
abiding people than are the citizens of Dyer
county. They were brought here through
willful misrepresentation to crafty the base
purposes of mean designing men. The
Legislature sent them here, without any
| investigation, upon the bare assertion of
waif hoated into our community by the
accident of wsr-a stranger They are
costing our already taH-burdened people at
least 500 day The County Treasury is
depleted. Our courthouse is unfinished
and our roads and bridges are needing re-
pairs. If this war tax~-so unjust, OPP
pressiye, uncalled for snd unnecessary-is
paid, then Dyer couaiy shoulders a debt
that overshsdowa her to the grave. We be-
lieye il is unconstitutional and think it
ought 10 be tested before the courts. five
| gently submit 10 Radical dcspotism, you
will be soon taxed for the hair you wear
on your head. The Legislature has either
ignoranlly or maliciously voted this glar-
ingly unnecessary tax, and are the people
Of Dyer county TO pay 4 partisan Legis-
lature for its ignorance OF its malice
