Whereas. Since his Inauguration he
has nominated the rebel General Long
street to u fiat" office,
Resolved, That we, the loyal people
of Blount county. do condemn this ac-
ton of General Grant. and feel that he
is doing the widows and orphans of
loyal East Tennesscans, made so by this
same General Longstreet, an injustice.

Nashville Press and Times.

We had intended this week to favor
brother Mercer, of the Press and Times,
with few gentle and affectionate ad-
monitions, but when our eye fell upon
the following from his pen-evidcntly
written in penitential mood and I'M
mediately after hearing Andy Johnson's
great Nashville speech-we concluded
to let him alone, at least for the pres
ent. We quote from the Press and
Times Of Monday:
elf ever, while smarting under a
sense of deep injury, we harbored bit.
ter feeling to solitary person enlisted
IN the Southern cause, that feeling has
long since given up the ghost and gone
to the limbo of discarded things. The
national flag has triumphed, and the
olive tree and the vine are infinitely
more grateful to our eyes than the Upas
tree of hanging and confiscation: and
mark our most ardent desire now is
to see, during President Grants adj
miuistration, taxation and represen.
tation go hand in hand in every State
in the Union"
There is said to be more joy in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth than
ninety and nine of the righteous. If
Moses" accomplished nothing more
by his recent visit to Nashville, he
ought to feel well satisfied with having
arrested and turned back this one trans
gressor, who was fast verging towards
tie regions of total depravity.
"Taxation and Representation to 90
hand in hand in every State of the
Union," Tennessee included. We take
pleasure in placing brother Mercer on
the record for that ticket, and invite the
attention of his fellow-sinners in this
direction to the remarkable conversion,
which is without parallel since the
days Of Saul of Tarsus. We trust it will
prove permanent.
