The Memphis Post of the 9TH inst.
contains the following paragraph !:
at must be confessed that the Con-
servative press is as prudent in the tone
of its remarks upon the election as it has
been throughout the canvass. How far
it will forget the professions and promises
now made, when the time of their full
fillment will come (as the professions and
promises made early in the canvass have
been already forgotten and ignored, re-
mains to be seen. We trust, for their
own sakes, and for the welfare and pros>
perity of the State, they may be lived
up to. We are not of those who see de-
struction and the humiliation of all hope
in change in the party in power in this
country. There is too much health in
the body polite. The Democracy will
either keep faith, do justice and labor for
the peace and prosperity of the State, or
it will be in due time thrown off by
rebound in public sentiment of which
they are little dresming to-day"
The Post has anticipated a differ
ent tone on the part of the DEMO-
cratic press of the State, for the
reason that the Radicals have so
ground the people of Tennessee
that they expected retaliation. But
in the hour of triumph, the Demo
cratic press and the people are ac-
tuated by no such motives, and
hence the confession Of the Post as
TO the prudence displayed. There
is not and will not be anything re-
taliatory in the course of the OPP
position to the Radicals. We
can live together in harmony,
and it will not be the
fault of the Democrats if such
shall not be the result. The Post
charges that the Democratic press
ignored promises made early in the
canvass. A similar charge has
been made by other Radical papers,
and it seems to be accepted that the
Democratic papers of the State gave
a pledge that the Democrats would
not run candidates for the Legisla-
ture. This is a mistake. There
may have been a Democratic paper
here and there that urged the sup
port of Senter Republicans for the
Legislature. But there was no
promise on the part of the opponents
of Democratic principles that there
would be no contest for the Legis-
lature. 1t was unquestionaHY the
policy as it was the purpose ofthe
Democratic and Conservative
masses to elect members of
the Legislature wherever they
could do so, and their or
gans certainly gave no pledge that
they would not make such contest
wherever they could do SO with at
least hope of success. Buthaving
secured the Legislature, the Oppo-
sitioD, by whatever name the Radi-

ANOTHER WOE.

Again, after lapse of years, we are
called to record Rebel triumph. Not
in an armed contest, but at the ballot
box. Our State government is again, by
the treachery of on UNANIMOUSLY corrupt
executive, placed under Rebel rule, if the
arbiter appealed to on the 9Th inst, but
SO unfairly and dishonesty manipulated,
is to be abided.
Since the firing on Fort Sumter, the
election of February, 1861, that handed
our State, bound hand and foot over to
the rebellion, the days Of the battle of
Bull Run, we have had no such shadows
of gloomy ruin east over the face of our
once fair State, as the action of tho outs
laws on the 9th brings upon us. 81
The late war well nigh ruined the
State financially. A corrupt and protii-
gate administration for some years, just
passed, has made no Improvement in its
condition. The corruption and villainy
of the republican party, sloughing of, is
taken up by disaffected Union men and
Rebels, and made the stone from which
to step into a still more villainous, cor
rupt and unprincipled administration.
If we are to be governed and controlled
by men who obtain position by resort to
such corruption, intrigue and violation Of
law, we must feel alarmed for the future
of our State; if there is no relief from
such outrages we must feel Insecure; we
must tremble in view of coming events;
when unprincipled traitors, corrupt
menials, drunken, lecherous debauchees
succeed to the principal Offices of State
government, and others equally vile as
pire, with fair prospects, to high position
| the land must certainly mourn.
The party who stole and squanderec
the school fund of our State, who drove
US into bankruptcy, who brought upor
us all our taxes that weigh us down with
yoke almost too heavy to be borne, nov
rejoice in q triumph accomplished by
rascality and violation Of law. If they
do these things in green tree, what vii
be done in the dry2
Considering it was a persistent de
fender and apologist of the "cor
rupt and profligate administration,
| (Brownlow's,) which 1t now hold
responsible for the ills that affiie
the State, we confess an inclination
to doubt the sincerity of its denun
citation. 1t is really amusing to Sc
how these Radicals abuse each othe
as pickpockets, and everything tina
is corrupt and abominable. Il
view of the character they give eacl
other, the tax paying people hav
cause for sincere congratulation tina
the Democrats have carried tn
Legislature, and thus deprived then
of the power to inflict further wron!
and injustice upon the State.

THE sTOKERs INTIMIDATING NE
GROEs FROM VOTING.


The only negroes we have heard
of being inundated from voting
in the late election were a couple
who publish and edit the Maryville
Republican. That paper of the 9TH
inst. gives this explanation of the
matter:
"The reason why we did not vote on
election day, is this: Stokes men made
threats previous to, and on the day of
the election, that if we undertook to exs
ercise our rights at the ballet-box we
would be mobbed! For what? Because
we have violated the law? No. Because
we are not legal voter? No. But be-
cause of our preference for Governor
being opposite to theirs, and because we
advocate the liberty of all men. Threats
and menaces were freely INDUCED in TO
the effect that we would be mobbtd
hereafter if we dared to vote on election
day. Readers, fellow~countrymen, we
were deferred from voting because men
were there who had declared that we
should not vote. We know some of the
men who made these threats, and can
prove that they did make them. There
are laws for the protection Of the law
abiding and peaceable citizen, and we
propose to be governed by law, and to
have others do so too.
1--WE are for peace, and have earnestly
used our best eHdeavers TO attain this
end We interfere with no one In any
way. We are not to be intimidated by
threats from the performance of duty.
We are not scared. Here we intend to
remain if it rains pitchforks. The NUT
terings of cross infant are not TO be
mistaken by US for thunder. Whom the
gods wish to destroy they first make
mad We aren't mad. We are glad to
state that all Stokes men did not cOunte-
nance these threats"
This is a specimen Of the free
dom of thought and action tolerated
by the Radicals of Blount, the
county in which preachers are
whipped and an effort was made 10
mob an ex-President of the United
States. The poor negro is a very
nice fellow as long as he will vote
for Radicals, but as soon as he
thinks and acts for himself, they are
ready to kick him out of the way.

secure in his person and property

alike. srs -r t

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the

majorities, regardless of department

at least. 1t is claimed by the Walker
men that the conservative ticket in Vir-
ginia had considerable black support,
but even if the claim be valid it proves
nothing, because the party issue was not
so clearly defined in that State as it was
in Tennessee. We may set il down as
fixed fact, and one worthy ofprominence,
that the freemen are unalterably devoted
to the principles and the organization
which broke their chains Come what
will, the black citizens of the South viii
not prove ingrates.
The Journal, cordially as it hates
the ti-Radical portion of the
people of Tennessee, is forced to
confess that we have had a very
quiet election, but it cannot forego
the opportunity to indulge little
Misrepresentation of this people.
1t says a few negroes were kept
away from the polls by fears. VI
those who did attend, the
Journal says "they all voted
one way" This is mere reckless
assertion. In many of the counties
| in Middle and West Tennessee, q
large majority of the negroes voted
| for Senter and the Democratic ticket
for the Legislature. The negroes
arc at last beginning to see the di-
rection in which their interests lie,
and they will be very apt to find
their way into the ranks of the ma
jority. The "spelP' which the Radi-
Gals have exercised over the negroes
has been broken, and it will require
no effort hereafter "to beguile the
negro from Republicanism.'
