StraNs In the Wind.


The GAINESVILLE Gazette. leader Of the
Carpenter host of Wisconsin journals,
some time ago took occasion to enumer-
ate the papers favoring Mr.. Carpenters
election to the U. S Senate The La
Crosse Republican, the most active or
gan of the Washburne interest, very apt
ly called the attention Of the Gazette to
some omissions it had made in counting
the Carpenter strength: such as the Mil
waukee Nears, and other papers of like
ilk. We are reminded sf this fact by the
last number of our neighbor, the Nation
al Democrat containing an article on
the Senatorial question, which, while
claiming to have no interest in The mat
ter, Enthusiastically shows that, TO the
Democratic palate, Carpenter is the most
acceptable of any man mentioned in con
neetIon with the SenatorsEip.
Deny it as they may, the supporters Of
Mr.. Carpenter cannot remove the fact
that large majority OF the Democrats of
tue state are IN sympathy with them !;
which, to our mind, is sufficient reason
why he, of all others, should not be cbos>
en-. We cannot but look with distrust
upon any man or measure endorsed by
such organs ID the Chicago Times, the
Milwaukee Netos and the National Dem
ocrat as is Mr. Carpenter.
Our political ad,ersaries are not want
ing in sagacity The election of Gener-
al Washbnrne, Horace Rublee, Gov SAL
ONION, or o. Ii. Waldo, they we'll know
would leave them nothing to hope for
These men are of that class whose polit-
ical principles are established beyond
peradyenturc; while, with Mr.. Carpen-
ter, the case Is different He has chan
ged bis politics once, within the past 81.
years; and from this it is dednced, thac
another six years may be ample time and
furnish ample pretexts for him to under
20 another revolution of faith It Is al
ways safest for Republicans to adopt that
which to t.air opponents is most objec-
tionable- Any approach toward harmo-
ny with the Democrats is dangerous.
For this one reason, if ID other existed,
we should advise the Legislature to SCI
lect some man besides Mr.. Carpenter for
the [. :. Senate.
" Straw tell which way the wind
olows;' and even the wee wisp, arising
from cur uptown neighbor, indicates
the Democratic desire for the election of

Sensible Talk from a CoIOred Man.
KNOXVILLE, June l., l

KNOXVILLE, June l., 1869.
10 DAVID BROWN, (colored) Alderman of
this city,
Sir AT meeting OF the colored people
of Knoxville, last night, in Mount Zion
Church, you took occasion to refer to my
self and some remarks l had seen proper
to make from the veranda of the Lamar
House, when number of people of our
race saw proper to tender to Governor
Senter the compliment of q serenade. On
that OCCASION, being called upon, stated
what l believed, and still believe, to be
the truth. L was speaking in the interest
and for the benefit of the colored people.
Ever since the colored man has had his
vote in Tennessee, L have seen how he has
suffered himself to be led to the polls by
selfish men who have no interest in the
black man, but whose only object is 10 use
him as a stepping stone from which they
can walk into office and power. have
seen too much of this thing to remain
quiet when [ see an effort being made to
array myself and other colored men against
the interests and tho rights of the white
people. The white people have given us
the right to vote at an earlier day than we
had any reason to expect it. It would be
not only ingratitude, but the worst policy
we could pursue, to aid in keeping the
white people of Tennessee from the ballot
box.
Here in Tennessee the black man enjoys
all the political rights of the white man.
He enjoys rights here that lie could not
enjoy in Ohio. Let colored man who
votes in Knoxville go to Cincinnati, and he
will find that he canno5 vote there. 1 speak
what know, and L say it is not honest in
a colOred man in Tennessee to use the lib
erty that has been given him TO oppress
and disfranchise the white people who pay
the taxes by which our State government
is supported. Besides, it is now Ger tain
that the white people OF the State will soon
be allowed to vote, and be is no friend to
the colored man who tries to array him
against the white race. l understand, Mr..
Alderman Brown, that you spoke very de-
rlslvely of me and my associates You call
ed us skinned:headed BARRIERS" Our
business is at least respectable, and let me
tell you that 1t brings us IN contact with
the gentlemen of this community. We lis
ten to and pay attention to their views, and
we are satisfied that the white people of
Knoxville are our friends, and we do not
propose to make enemies of them by using
the ballot to deprive them of rights we en-
Joy ourselves.
Now, you mako your speeches against
me IN the League, DuE Will venture To
say that two-thirds of the money you get
for your work (you are a shoemaker) is
paid to you by the very men you wish to
keep in political slavery. The meanest
trait in q mans character is ingratitude,
and 1 tell you that could not look white
man in the face if 1 was trying to place
him lower in society than myself. Because
you happen to be an alderman, Mr.. Brown,
don't imagine that you can drive the col
ored men of Knoxville to make war upon
their best friends.
Yours, candidly,
Gus PHINIZY, Barber.

DIED.

In Ellington, n. o., ON the 18th inst, after al
illness of q days, Miss MAGGIE V. SCOTT,
aged % years.
Young beautiful, and possessed of an almost
angelic sweetness Of disposition, the deceased
had endeared herself 10 all who came within the
circle of her acquaintance. OF her it may be tru-
ly said-"None knew her but to love her none
named her but to p.aise," ," aud the void her un-
timely death has left in many hearts, tcstifies
how fully her noble nature and many rare virtues
were appreciated by one and all. AS daughter,
ever dutltul and obedient as sister, kind and
affectionate, and as friend, ever faithful, sym
pathetic and true she Is mourned deeply i'll our
community, and her pure memory will be
shrined for life in our hearts. Wherever tho hand
Of affiiction fell heaviest; wherever the angel Of
Death lowered nearest there che always
found, miDistering angel t. the sick and dying;
moving steadily and unostentatiousy in the path
Of duty, shedding light and comfort from her low
ing woman's heart. Death loves shining
mark" and she was pearl too pure 10 be long
er loaned from Paradise. With aching hearts
and fearful eyes we've yielded up our treasure to
the messenger, but with this ineffably sweet and
consolinG knowledge, that " what was our lossi
ID her eternal gam" for
Death came not to her linked with fear,
She looked to Christ with Faiths calm eve,
Believing He'd through all be near,
And smooth her pathway to the sky.
without one doubt without one fear,
Her spirit left this mortal CLAY:
She fell asIeep mid loved ones here
And woke with Christ in endless day.
Ellington, N. c., June 22d, 1869.
In Marion county. s. O., on the I'd of May, 1862
RACHEL ELIZA GADDY, wife of j. Maston
Gaddy, and daughter of Hugh G. and Anna Ma.
riah Fadger, in the 44th year of her age.
In the sudden death OF one dear relative, in the
prime of life, and in high health, we are reminded
that all of US must die that the young and the
old, the weak and the strong, are alike the sub
jects OF death. How cad is it, in this instance,
for the tender mother to be taken away from the
care Of the dear children, the affectionate wife
from the devoted husband, and the kind and gem
sl relative and friend, from those that loved and
appreciated her 30 much. She was the child OF
pious parents, and early in life embraced raligion
in the faith and triumphs of which she died. She
was not afraid to cross the dark river. but wac
ready to give up all for the hope Of blssful i'm
mortality. -Four children, two first on the thresh-
hold of life, a husband relative and friends are
left to mourn her loss. But that loss is her etor-
nal gain, for blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord.

the remaining brothers and sisters of the
south have not yet been able to dry their
tears for the slaughtered heroes of their
household. Those tears will flow whenev-
er their slain are remembered. But the
south to day is willing to abide the result
of the struggle. They have folded the
banner of unfriendliness It is deposited
in the grave with their sons and brothers.
They are offering their hands to US in the
spirit Of reconciliation. Every plantation
is turned into a peaceful Appomattox.
where Industry is surrendering the sword,
and seeking the fortunes of better strug-
gle in tne plowshare.
The North should not give any tokens
of surviving hatred to their br ethren of
the South. We should hail as from heav-
en- every indication that the South wishes
to resign herself to the cultivation of her
soil and to the development of her re-
sources. Worse than inhuman is it to
show ourselves disinclined to encourage
that people in the pursuit of new and
peaceful greatness. Far from fiinging in
among them frebrands to keep alive a
spirit of resistance, we should weed the
political field of every vile herb that could
scatter pernicious seeds among the ripen-
ing crop of Southern happiness. Now is
the harvest-tine in which it is our duty to
bind in bundles the cookie that chokes the
legitimate product. We should cast into
the fire what the enemy hath sown, lest at
a future day the baneful growth become
ruinous alike to the South, who is the til
ler, and to us, who are the consumers of
the products of the soil.
Labor is now the alI-absorbing question
in the South. The right kind of free la
Dor is much needed, and this word is on
the lips of everybody interested IN the re.
suscitation of the country. Let the Co.
vernment but exercise q moderate share o.
fair play in its legislation for the South,
and few years of prosperous cultivation
will bring that great country to state OF
wealth and splendor unequalled by any
period in the history of the past. 1t Is
now acknowledged that slavery rather i'm
poverished than enriched the South. The
cry of the planters now is that intelligent
free labor is the only thing capable of
bringing the country into state of pros
perity. Hence they are holding out their
arms, and offering every inducement to
the settlement of white people among
them. They are putting down their lands
to mere nominal prices. They are form
ing themselves into associations to afford
encouragement and protection to the white
settler who desires cheap farms, and every
facility of securing for himself the perma-
nence of comfortable home.
