The Devil Loose in renns..ee.

AC DcNn LOUISE IN tennessee.
A few days ago the State radical conyen.
tlon was in session at Nashville, Tenn,
when the Stokes and Seuter faction got red
hot and the widest scenes of disorder took
possession of the gathering. 1t is stated
that for about one hour and half the noise
was so great and the peril Of bloody battle
so imminent, that all business was suspend>
ed. The contest between the factions ragged
at its highest at the time of temporary or
ganization, when the factions were contend
ing to secure the position of advantage in
temporary chairman. At one time, it is said
SO imminent, was bloody battle, that the
only sounds to be heard above the pande>
moniac frenzy and howls. was the distinct
clIckings OF hundreds ofpistols ! The whole
convention, it seems, was armed and ready
for the fray, having been stimulated to indie
vldual personal preparation for battle by
the result OF Senter victory 10 the county
convention held the day before, when the
delegates of the Senter faction at Nashville,
we're regularly chosen over the Stokes dele>
gates, and a majority of the convention there
by carried.
This harvest of Brownlowism, and it. is
great pity that the whole thing had not
shot itself to death then aud there. If that
convention had got into fight and the
hundreds of fire. arms had been discharged
into the hearts of the villains who composed
the convention, there would have been no
loss whatever to humanity, mankind or the
State. The most of these precious rascals
are hell scorched murderers and assassins,
on whose damned souls rests the blood Of
the innocent and the intelligent, who have
fallen from time to time by the bullet and
knife of loyalty in Tennessee; more than
half of these wild beasts were murderers from
the mountains of East Tennessee, and we're
the meanest aud lowest scalawags that had
been left BY the retiring union armies in the
late war. They are precious set of villains
not one Of whom has not some dark spot on
his soul
Truly this Brownlowism in Tennessee is
preparing for harvest. When there are no
women &c outrage children to brain, maid
ems to ravish, preachers to hang up by the
thumb or to strip and whip for preaching
the gospel of Jesus Chrst-when there are
no old men to drag out from their homes in
the midnight to abuse, to murder, and to
drive oH-when there are no houses to burn,
aud militia deviltry to do,-then the next
best thi.g for them to engage in is to shoot
and kill themselves, and to go precipitately
to hell AID Lincoln, where they ought to
have been years ago.
If ever an accursed old dog has ever lived
to blast. and curse the people that nurtured
him it is that hell dyed and crimson souled
old villain, Wm. G. Brownlow, Senator in
the Congress, of perjnred radicals and thieves
at Washington, and if death unnatural and
horrible, aud home revolving and unpi,y>
ing. awaits and is eminenlly due any villain
OF earth, it is this rascal, who has done SO
much to make Tennessee real perdition in
every sense of the word.
There is to be no conservative candidate
for Governor in Tennessee this fall The
conservatives are murdered too rapidly to BE-
able to center much of a vote on any man at
any time. The race it is conceded, will be
between the infamous Senter, and the trcbly
damnable Stokes, with the advantage in favor
OF Senter, who is now acting governor. L.
is understood that the conservatives will sup
port him against Stokes, and it is believed
he will defeat Stokes. badly The conveu
ton, 'or rather armed mob, to which we have
referred, nominated Senter by reclamation,
in the midst Of the confusion, aud while two
rival chairman we're fighting to get posses
sion of the craftsmanship, and thus the Sen.
ter faction claim the advantage of the Stokes
faction Democratic Wdtchmdn
