A bill has already been introduced
W the Tennessee Legislature prosi-
ding for the calling OF a Constitutional
Convention, 10 be- held IN November
for the purpose Of forming a new Con.
stitniion repeating the present ouira-
geous instrument which was made by
the carpet baggcrs, under military
protection and in obedience 10 the
promptings Of Northern Radicals, in
defiance to the will Of the people Of
Tennessee. That such Convention
will be held and such new Constitu-
tion formed and adopted by the peo-
pie, we have no doubt. The liberties
OF Tennessee require this, and VIC hope
to sec it done as soon as possible. The
other Southern States, we doubt not,
will soon "do likewise" j"
Notwithstanding all the schemeing,
and cunning legislation of the Radi-
Gals, with view TO render the South.
ern States subserviant TO their party
interests, the time is not far distant
when all those States will have consti.
tutions and State governments in ac-
cordance with tho old Constitution of
the United States and the rights of
man, and when Radiclnlism will have
no foothold anywhere in the South
"Time at last sets all things even"
The illiberal policy OF the Radicals,
which was designed to secure them
the Southern States, will result in uni
ting the entire South against them,
forever.
''One extreme begets another" and
the extreme oppression Of the South
by the Radicals has obtained for them
the extreme and eternal hatred of the
Southern people, as well as the con-
tempt of all rightminded men else
where. It's gratifying to know that
in q Republican Government, wrong
is sooner or later corrected by its own
effect. Not long hence the Southern
States will be united in a solid pbalanx
against the erroneous doctrine of So
cession, and the equally erroneous pol
icy of New England Radicaism.-

An EERoIu AoT. "A few months
ago, an engineer Of an express train on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
going west, discovered an engine ap-
proaching him at such ratio OF speed
that he was at once convinced that it
was without an engineer. He instant
ly whistled his brakes down, at the
same time sending his fireman back
to unoouple his "tender' from the
train, while he at the same moment
uncoupled his hose and engine,
and opening his throttle wide, with
his red flag jumped back on his
tender. He Just looked back and saw
his train nearly stopped, and on
dashed the two engines toward each
other like very demons. He broke
up gently on his tender, and finally
stopped it. and in brcathless silence
watched for the collision. The en-
gines came together, throwing each
other clear off the track, ana smashed
all to pieces. He left his tender, and
with bis flag ran TO meet the express
going east. 1t being two minutes be-
bind time, he had just time to flag
it, and it was brought TO stop
within n few feet OF the wrecked en-
gines, and one of those terrible acci.
dents was avoided. For this heroic

The Hypoorifes!

The following correct bill of indict-
meDt against the Radical party, is one
that can be sustained by facts and
figures. In this bill of indictment the
Radical leaders stand charged with
calling themselves Unionists; they
have eonsummaied and maintained
disunion. Afiectilg economy: they
have given us the costliest govern
ment on earth. Prating Of virtue /:
they made it the most corrupt. Clam
oring for equal rights they have pro-
scribed more people than any monar-
chy in Christendom. Invoking free
dom they established and maintained
the darkest despotism ia eleven States.
Protesting toleration: they proclaim
acceptance of their creed the alterna-
tive of ostracism and disfIanchisement.
Howlng about purifying tho Govern
ment; they have made dishonesty and
office holding identical Preaching
principle: they subsist by passion and
prejudice. Deplor'ing caste they ele-
vate blacks above the whites in two
thirds of the country Maguifying
loyalty: they trample out every wor-
thy principle ofou system. Claiming
craftsmanship: their officials are either
conspirators or thieves Lauding in
dependence; they are the servile slaves
of party caucus. Pretending to in
vite criticism: they stife freedom of
debate in Congress by partisan rule,
and drown 1t elsewhere in blood. In
sisting upon peace, they prolong the
old strife to turn up new one.
