awaits him 10 such an event from an in
suited and outraged people will be rather
more than he can possibly live under on
his return to Shelby. Every man and
woman in our city we'll remember IN
what detestation Andy johnson was held
BY the great body of our people when he
visited Memphis last, and even the few
friends who received him so cordially
and drank his free wine, have since gone
off and left him.
The old relic Of adversity, the Memphis
Appeal, still blows it's conchshell for it's
master. Andy johnson, whose chief cook
and bottle-washing editor feels himself
under personal obligations to the ex'
President for favors in the past. But,
alasl this people have no act Of kindness
recorded against Andy johnson, for, on
the contrary, he has reviled us with harsh
language, threatened often, after the
war, to have our property confscated,
publicly proclaimed on our streets that
he was the Moses who set our negroes
free, and not hamLincoln. That may
be popular with the negroes, but it is not
40 with their former masters, who would
see Andy johnson very near unto his
future abiding place (below) before they
would vote for him upon any condition.
The members of the Legislature may be
assured of the bright smiles Of the people
should they perform well their duties
faithfully to the people who sent them to
Nashville. Shelby county especially ex.
poets her representatives to do their duty.
