ana craftsmanship he is far superior. do not allow
yourselves to be used by political demagogues. DO not
Orsake your political friends Gov Senter Will be elected
by an overwhelming majority and also by majority Of
tine Republicans OF Tennessee and should you DO FOUND
will be your position You cannot afford to place your
selves outside the Republican party and you DO not want
TO array against yourselves the great mass OF those who
have heretofore stood by you and who have ever main
tanned your rights Men Of small caliber and little brains
have said that President Grant and his administration

reckless ISLANDERS which have been cast upon
me TO pass unnOticed, and l should still remain

truth of the history making in Tennessee AT TINS
highly esteem the friendship OF the Republicans of
Tennessee, do not want the good opinions OF such rs
nessee to the Rebels or OF forming an alliance offensive
and defensive, with Andrew Johnson. In conclusion as

The Richmond correspondent Of The Peters
