CONDITION of AFFAIRS IN EAST
TENNESSEE.

We learn from East Tennessee papers
the state of public feeling in that section
on the subject of the coming election
which is portentous and breathes the
shirt of resistance to the law. Inc
probability of any one, save the most ex-
treme Radical, being elected to the ONCE
of Governor in this State is at once sui
sciept to throw the people Of East Ten
nsssee into q temper bordering on revo-
lutiop. that certainly BODIES no good
for them or our local government.
The statement is that large
class OF these mountain people have
organized into a similar society known
as the Loyal League, and have pre-
claimed their intention to be to prevent
any rebel from voting OF the polls in the
August election. This means no man
sbsll vote unless he is in favor OF Stokes.
Aud II means something more. 1t isthe
spirit of disloyalty. covering itself under
the garb of fidelity to the Union. 1t is
and has been ia the minds of these peo-
ple from the beginning, to rule or rum
the country. They would rather see the
State relapse again into anarchy ana a
territorial condition than to have 1t pass
out of their control. East Tennesseeans
r
are not moved by q patriotic feeling Tor
the State government or the cause OF re-
construction that Mr.. Boutwell, speaks oil
in his letter, but have an eye single TO
their own individual interest, although to
keep the reins of government in the pres
ent hands it would jeopardzs the peace
and prosperity of the entire common
wealth. II, as isalleged, these mountain
GERS are determined to carry their sec
ton of the State for Stokes, even if force
is necessary to accomplish it, we, then,
warn all who have entered into this con-
spiracy to beware, and desist from their
reasonable purpose, or the loyal militia
will be called out and quartered on the
people Of those communities until after
the election. The duty of Gov. Senter is
clear, should there be disturbance in
any part of the State, or should there be
probability of such. The law has en-
powered him to call out the State guards
whenever, in his opinion, there is prob
ability of the laws being resisted in any
section of the State. Then, let East Ten
nessee look to il, or the rod furnished to
break the heads of rebels will be felt on
loyal crsniums Oh the day Of election
Let US have peace.

-
that the introduction Of laborers from
China, with promise to pay their pas
sage, should they perform certain
amount of work in such a length of time,
| is not selling these men into slavery IN
the spirit and meaning of the law. Men
can in our own country at this time
sell themselves on similar terms for q
consideration Of money, and the Govern
ment cannot say nay; for tits the part OF
mans free act to do with himself as be
chooses, SO far as the disposition OF his
labor is concerned. The difference be-
tween slavery and contract in which q
man binds himself to another is this:
that with the slave one has the power
over him to make him work; while the
law in the other case would not require
the man to perform his contract in work.
but would, in case he failed to perform
his contract, give the other contracting
party an award in damages ss compen'
sation for failure to comply. So,an individ-
dual ofthis community could bind himself
to second party that he would at once
proceed to China, and after reaching the
flowery land then to perform certain
piece of work, the consideration being
that the second party would pay his pas
sage ON board the ship in going there,
and such contract could not be re-
parded as one in which the first party
had sold himself into slavery. No, the
North has ever been jealous of Southern
prosperity, and when question comes
up on which our people are vitality inter-
ested, cry is heard from the North in
opposition TO our interest at all times.
II was that bitter sectional hate which
brought on the last war between the two
sections, engendered by Northern politi-
clans and sent out through their treason
able sheets. The fear, probably is, that
the Southern. people may use these
coolies to advantage in breaking off their
own political chains, it being to the in
terest of the North to keep us in slavery.

ment has no right to issue bonds at a certain
rate, and then make the persons who have
them take others of less value" AS nobody
has proposed that the Government shall do
anything of the kind, the bearings of Mr..
Packers observations are not clear The
funding scheme contemplates no forced ex-
change whatever, but merely the sale of con-
sols to those who may want to buy them;
and those who don't want to buy
them can leave them alone. Cornered
at last by the question, SIS the Democratic
party in favor of repudiating the national
debt?" the Judge made the remarkable
reply-'Well, this is pretty serious matter,
and would have to be considered. 1 do not
know what the Democratic party think about
that Tempted with the tariff, he remarked,
'This matter is divided-some want free
trade and some high tariff. The tariff is
question that can never be settled satisfac-
torily to all parties. Free trade would pro-
badly hurt some and high tariff good
many more; so it is a difficult problem to
discuss" Asked his opinion about the eight
hour law, he-smiled Then the train ar
rived, and Judge Packer ''received evident
relief from that source" at which we don't
wonder in the least
We recollect nothing in history quite equal
to these opinions, except the sentiments ex-
pressed by the placid gentleman whom Mr..
Snodgrass encountered in the Peacock Inn at
Eatanswill-''a man of bland voice who always
made it a point to agree with everybody"
Show me the man, observed Mr.. Snodgrass,
who says anything against women, as women,
and boldly declare he is not man.
That's good sound argument, said the
placid man. Containing position which I
deny, interrupted he of the dirty counte-
nance. And there's certainly very great
deal of truth in what you observe, too, Sir,
said the placid gentleman" So Judge Packer
running for Governor of one of the greatest
States of the Union and asked for o state
ment of his principles touching the most i'm
portant questions of the campaign, is only
clear as to this, that there is a great deal
to be said on both sides. One of the vital
problems of the day, both in State and
Federal politics. is the problem of finance;
but Judge Packer says he does not know any
thing about finance. What does he think
about reputation Well, he doesn't know
what he thinks about reputation; some people
like it, but then, you see, some people don't
What does he think about the tariff Well,
he doesn't know what he thinks about the
tariff some people want protection but then
you see, some people want free trade. What
does he think about the labor question?
Well, he doesn't know what he thinks about
the labor question:; some people take one
view of it, but then again some people take
another. Now we hope the Pennsylvania
Democracy, having sounded their leader and
got all they are likely to get out of him, will
make up their declaration of faith and go
ahead with the fight If Judge Packers
opinions are not valuable as guides to faith
they are at least wonderfully accommodating
and, as Captain Cutie said of the opinions of
Jack Bunsby, ''there amt nothing like EN-
atloat or ashore"

PACKERS OPINIONS

From-the NJ Y Tribune.
In the prevailing uncertainty as to the
Democratic principles for the present cam.
paign, we believe the faithful in Pennsylvania
have been in especial perplexity. The De-
mocracy of Ohio can feel themselves ortho-
dox if they follow Pendleton and demand
taxation of the bonds and payment in green
backs. The Democracy of New York are at
liberty to cry for either specie payment with
Belmont or reputation with Tweed. or if
they prefer, to go for both together. as most
of them actually do. Pennsylvania. how
ever, has hitherto had no platform; and when
one of the interviewers of the Herald tackled
Judge Packer, the other day, at the Bethla-
hem railroad station, the party must have
awaited the utterances of their candidate with
such anxiety as used to fill the breasts of in
curing worshippers at the shrines of Delphi
and Dodona. We regret to say that Judge
Packers opinions are not bit more decided
than those of the oracles of old; but they have
at least this merit, that they leave his fol,
lowers a wide latitude of choice. Questioned
about finances, he ''could not say that he had
any better ideas on that subject than anybody
plse-probably not as good, and immelt
ately proved it by denouncing the proposition
to fund part of the debt at a lower rate Of
interest as reputation, because the Govern
