The Banner publishes an article
from one G.. B. Lamar, of Georgia,
opposing the election Of ex-Presi-
dent johnson to the United States
Senate. The said G. b., better
known in Georgia as GAz, pro
pounds number of interrogatories
intended to be clinching arguments
against Mr.. Johnson. We leave
the Banner to reflect upon its adu-
lations of the ex-President, (while
he was in Office, and respond
at leisure to the inquiries OF

to the Banner when it was striving
to have Mr.. j. nominated as the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. Perhaps our readers would
like to know who this G. b. Lamar
is, and what interest he has in Ten
nessee affairs. If We mistake not
G. b. was reported to DO Interested
in the African-slave- trading vessel
Wanderer, which was captured by
the United States government bes
fore the war, while engaged in
transporting slaves stolen from
the western coast of Afri-
ca, to tho southern coast of
Georgia. Just after the conclu-
sion of the war, the G. b. aforesaid
got mired up in q little cotton
transaction in Southern Georgia.
He was arrested by order of Secre-
tary Stanton, tried by a military
commission and found guilty, if we
recollect correctly, of q slight sus-
picion of larceny and attempted
bribery. He was sentenced to pay
a fine and undergo Imprisonment.
He appealed to President Johnson
to annul the proceedings of the
commission. The President, being
unable to examine the proceedings
as promptly as desired, released G.
B. on his parole. After the storm
of war subsidized, he released G. B.
fully. Hlnc WG 1achryme! Hence

ANDREW 10 HKsos AND THE NAsE
WILLIE BANNER.


WILLIE BANNER.
To show the people of Tennes-
see the character of warfare that is
being waged against ex President
Johnson, we quote the following
extracts from a lengthy editorial in
the Banner of yesterday. Speaking
of the State of Tennessee during
the late war, tho Banner says:
Her very capitol became military
court Of inquisition, frrquented by har.i
lots in the open day, ruled by sniyelling
imbecility and debauchcry, while her
executive chamber was little less than Q
brothel, bar room and bawdy house,
in the center of which was erected the
throne Of petty despot and prosecutor
Of women and ag,d men.
Further along in the same article
occnts the following: 2 a3iT -z:-ge3
We can't help thinking, if the man or
men they 1.-THE Northern opposerS Of
RadicalismI designate for our important
Offices were to die suddenly Of strong
drink or kidney disease, what q helpless
condition we might be in, for a statesman
to serve us! We are afraid our pretended
friends beyond our borders have con-
temptible opinion of us. We should be
sorry to be compelled to pin all our
hopes to the coat-tail of any distinguished
circle-swinger whom they should select
These extract are from the NASH
vile Republican Banner of yester-
day, Oct. s, 1869. Our readers will
please note dates. Andrew Johns
son was inaugurated Vice President,
March A, 1865. He was sworn in
as President of the United States
about six weeks thereafter. All
that no did as Military Governor
was previous to. March a, 1865,
when he became Vice President.
All that he did as President, to
which any Southern man could
possibly object, was previous to
January l, 1866. The republics
ton of the Banner was begun in the
fall of 1865. If the Banner uttered
a word except in the way of kind
ness to Mr.. Johnson from the first
issue of its republication up to the
day of the last August election we
have been unable to find it. On
the 9th of June of last year, 1868,
GA Grand State Convention of the
anti Radical Masses" was held in
Nashville. That Convention res
ceived from its committee on reso-
lutions, Gen. Jno. c. Brown, chair
man, a series of resolutions which
were adopted by the convention.
We extract from the concluding
resolution of that series the follow
ing: - r..ss- .a,..s
Resolved, That Andrew johnson in the
discharge of his great functions az Presi.
dent of the United States at a period of
trying and unprecedented embarrassment,
has rendered his name illustrious by the
fidelity with which he has sought to
preserve, protect and defend the constitu-
ton against the assaults of revolutionary
faction, and in his recent signal triumph
in that behalf has earned the gratitude Of
the american people, AND HAS RENDERED
HIMSELF WORTHY OF THE HIGHEST MARK
OF CONFIDENCE THAT MAY BE BESTOWED
UPON HIM."
On the day following this Con-
vention, to-wit, Wednesday, the
10th day of June, 1868, the Nash
vile Banner published the proceed
ings of that Convention with the
following heading:

tracts of land would be reauiredsfor

tracts of land would berequiredsfor
plantations. To divide the lands
into small possessions of eighty or
one hundred and sixty acres would
necessarily limit the number of Ia
borers required for their eultiystion,
and would be equivalent to keeping
tout slavery altogether, since, on so
small scale, it would cease to be
profitable. IL .s'ai- 1sraA GielGli ~
The homestead scheme is not the
result of Democratic policy. Itwas
in the interest OF free labor, and to
be in that interest was to invite the
hostility of those who were the rep
resentative and controlling Demo-
Gratis OF their day. 1t is well enough,
as slavery has ceased to exist, for
the Democrats of Ohio TO cry aloud
because q policy which did not Origi-
nate with them or. theirs is in danger
of defeat through the extravagant
donation or lands, under the idea OF
promoting great schemes OF national
Importance. nas bAa 'l l9 Aa'A =
We agree with the Democracy
that this lavish proposition is detri-
mental to the interests of labor, and
ought to be stopped and have urged
upon Congress time and again the
importance of rescrying the public
lands FOR actual settlers OF at least
q careful economy in their distribu I
ton. 1t is only where enterprises
involving enormous expenses are un-
dertaken, and which are not likely
to be remuneralive for years, but
which seem to be in the nature of a
public necessity, as well as 4. positive
blessing to those whC do settle upon
lands through which they are pro
jected, that Congress should consent
to grants of alternate sections Such
enterprises are few, aud tue Union
Pacific Railroad was one of them.-
Assistance OF q like Kind may be
necessary for the construction of a
more Southern line, but branches and
collateral lines should be left to pri
yate enterprise which will develop
them, as it has done IL, the older.
States, where there is actual need OF
them. ~ "
But this protest against the profase
grant OF the publIc domain does not
justify the Democratic party, as yet,
in asserting its claim as tue protector
and defender of the laborinG mans s.
interests. 1t has-done free labor an
infinite harm in its past policy, and
ought to be satisfied II admitted to
probation, as the kIethodists have it,
and kept on trial a few years till we
see that it is truly the workingman's
friend, and faithful auxiliary in the
work of educating and elevating,

classes OF laborers, Whatever be
their nationality or,color.- CtRciaEati

This movement is significant and in
huential. The Convention increased
Its influence and moral power by
condemnng all determinations
against men of color in trades un-
ions and other labor protecting asso-
Citations. The Irish people, in their
own land, have no prejudice against
the colored man-their religion
teaches them that God made of one
oIoot all nations Of men-and they
have been taught meekly to bow at
the same altar with men of every
race, cline and complexion. But the
hypocritical Democracy of this coun-
try has perverted, by its vile teach
ings and influence, their original
sense of justice and taught many of
them to regard the African race as
an impediment to their advancement
and prosperity. BY in1aming pref
udice, that party has perverted the
minds of thousands whose purposes
were to do wrong to none- We re-
joice at this evidence that there is a
strong and earnest movement of this
class of our fellow citizens in the
right direction.-IOlsdo Blade.

A Little East.

Among the resolutions of the State
Democratic Convention is one assert
ing the peculiar devotion of that
party to the interests of labsr and
laboring men. But the history OF
the party does not sustain the asser-
ton, at least so far as free labor is
concerned. Through a long series
of years its policy was adapted to
the perpetuation vnd expansion of q
system of involuntary servi:ude that
degraded labor, and practically ex-
cluded the free labOring man from
all the Southern States.
No man with any sense of SELF
respect would settle in a community
where labor was regarded as badge
of servitude; and whose industrial
system was based upon the funda-
mental doctrine that capital should
own labor, and live upon the profits
of unremunerated industry. 1t was
for this reason that free handed i'm
migrants and young men from the
older States passed by the fertile re-
gions of the South, and settled in the
far West. There, at least, labor was
honorcd, and "greasy mechanics"
were not necessarily 1.-THE mud -sills
OF society" .f ls-
In fostering and consentlng to ma
tionalize the system of servitude
which prevailed in the South, as the
Democratic party did unquestiona-
bly,, it proved itself the enemy of
labor by cheapening its price, degra-
ding it, and forcing free labor to COM
pete with unpaid labor in the mar
kets of the world. The effect of this
competition would have been more
severely felt had the South been de-
voted to the culture of the same
class of productions as the North
and West. ' A9
The policy of homesteads to actu-
al settlers in the public domain found
its bitterest opponents among the
Democratic statesmen OF the South,
who were, in those days, the unques-
toned leaders of the party, and
shaped its public policy. Their OBJ
lection to cutting up the lands in
small farms was very natural. 1t
was inimical to their object, which
was to extend slavery into the terri
tories, where, to be successful, large,
