address of the Rev. Edward Mills. Al
this report is much fuller than the one
we have heretofore published, we give it t.
our readers, trusting that they will find
in the abstract of the address, ETC., much
that is new and interesting:
The !. o. of G. T. of Wells and sur
rounding towns having decided to hold a
Good Templar's celebration on our ma
tional anniversary, accordingly assembled
at the Lake St. Catherine House in Wells
Chas. W. Potter proprietor, during the
forenoon of Monday, July 9Th. The day
being cool and pleasant, the crowd Of
people was large 1t was estimated that
there was at least five hundred Good
Templars present, which, with the large
number of other people, filled the capaci.
Gus house and grounds to their fullest ca
pacity. The Dandy and Granville Cornet
Bands were in attendance After dinner
a procession was formed, headed by the
Granville band, and proceeded to the
stand, where the following order of exer.
cises was carried out. President of the
day, L. d. Ross of Poultney:
Music by Granville Cornet Band
Prayer by Rev. w. III. Hull of Wells

The speaker, on commencing, alluded
to the landing of two vessels in what was
then known az the new world, in 1920
One, bearing the standard of liberty,
laads at Plymouth, Mass; the other, that
of human bondage, lands at jamestown,
Va. Both flourish for awhile, but now,
after two hundred years, the tree oil
slavery is withered and ded, while the
standard of liberty, planted on the sterile
banks of New England has flOurished
and grown, and its stars are now more nu-
merous than ever before The speaker

authors of articles, for ear less and ludi-

made more ludicrous by the correction or

A MEETING was held in Nashville
on Tuesday for the purpose Of sympa-
thising with refugees from Rutherford
county, expressing the proper view as
TO the duty Of every citizen to unite
for the preservation of the peace and
the rights of all alike, and declaring
that outrages of all sorts should be put
down. This Is all well enough, and
trueenough, but it is ali namby-pamby.
Who could have doubted the wish of
the respectable people of Nashville
that the peace should be preserved
and all innocent persons protected,
even before it was uttered? Crisis
FOoTE and others in Nashville seem
to have a continual itching to live in
broils, and have an underwriting
tempest in a teapot. They embellish
everything they touch with empty
magniloquence, and when they have
done, and the whole is understood, it
is all words, and nothing else. For
the sake Of keeping before the public,
they will everlastingly get up a crisis
and make ado about it. They may
mean well in this case. But what OF
all that, when, with grandiloquent
words of empty pacifcation they are
tnjuring the State and misleading the

THE onion and american calls at
tentiOn to the Radical gerrymander-
ing and appOrtiOnment by which the
counties of Johnson, Carter, Camp
bell, Anderson, Union, Sewer, Han
cock and Macon send to the Legisla-
tUre ten Representatives, although
under the sppOrtionment of 1852 they
areentitled to only two" These eight
counties cast but 8O72 votes in the late
election; yet they "have an equal
voice in the House of Representatives
with Davidson, Wilson, Williamson,
Maury, Rutherford, Fayette and Shell
by, which cast Al ,43S votes" The
FIST named counties, moreover, pay
in taxes but $26,7 III 40, while the last
pay S672,237 90. The Union and
American insists, with great force, that
this shameful abuse and inequality
should be remedied by the new Legis-
lature. and the bogus members ex-
euded. There can be noproper express
sion Of the Representative voice when
such inequality is allowed. Probably
no similar outrage can be shown in
thirty-seven States.

GREAT" men are not so few as is
often supposed. For being ugly OF
pretty, large or small, sensible or silly,
commonplace or singular, a majority
of men have some one or other dis
tinguishing popularity of character.
And We do not see why the biggest
fool in the world should not have the
same credit for emineRce In his line,
and be regarded as equally remarka-
BILE with the wisest man. We have
never heard Gen. GRANT accused of
perpetrating any veryable or eloquent
speeches, and certainly not of very
long ones. Indeed for a man of high
position we think he bears the palm
for making the shortest. For speeches
a quarter Of an inch long or less, he
a "beat the world "-he is the
greatest man, in the same sense that
Gen. THUMB is the " biggest" dwarf.
The following speech just delivered at
Concord, New Hampshire, is his latest
production in the line of his own pc
speciality. His stay within "
the " beautiful mountains is particu-
larly rich-it is "great." Here it is:
"Wr. Mayor: 1t affords me great
pleasure to visit the Granite State and
its capital. 1t is the first time | have
ever been able to be, / believe, within
its borders. l regret ! cannot make a
stay WithiH its borders and
beautiful mountains"

REFERRING to the efforts STOKES is
making at Washington to do all the
mischief he can to Tennessee, not only
by conspiracies and false representa-
tons of the election, but also by ma
ligning the people and representing
them as equally disloyal and lawless,
the Chicago Times concludes some
structures, which are both severe and
just, with the following paragraph:
The Tennessee election ought to con-
vince the Republican politicians that
the reconstruction infamy only in
vest their party in the South with
temporary power. So soon as the States
shall be admitted and released from
military rule and Congressional inter-
vention, the whites will grasp the pO-
litIcal control to which they are enti-
tied. They are the majority of the
population. They have the brains,
the wealth, and influence which long
habits of domination have given
them. Can it be expected that half
barbarous negroes, just emancipated
from slavery, can compete with supe-
riOr numbers of as able white men as
there are in the country, in a struggle
for political ascendancy, when compe-
titiOn is open and free? The Jacobins
may as well abandon this idea, and
permit decency, and right, and true
republicanism TO have free course IL

WITH relation to the recent STOKES
convention at Nashville, held with
closed doors as a secret conspiracy, the
Knoxville Press and Herald calls at
tention to the law on this subject now
on the statute books of the State.
Had Conservatives done the same
thing only a year ago these Radicals
have now done, it is likely the law
would have been put in force against
them. Does the case now being
changed "alter the case?" No overt
act of treason may have been COM
United in this instance; but that a
plot was formed against the existence
of the State government, and against
the peace and liberty of the people,
cannot be doubted. The law referred
to was passed June 3, 1864. 1t pro-
vides that it shall take effect at once.
and it may be enforced now as well as
ever. This seditiOn law is as follows:
SECTION !. Be Il enacted 61 the Gs1-
rdl assembly Of the State of Tennessee
That whoever shall be guilty of utter

public with the idea that an affair of
only local importance, and which was
suppressed before their craftsmanship
and sage advice was given about it,
requires such grave attention of those
nervous old men of Nashville. They
might have as big a rumpus over a
thousand everyday occurrences,
which are equally wrong in principle.
By all this they are producing the I'M
preston abroad that we have some
thing new in the State in the shape OF
lawless conduct which is of such UNI
usual State and national Importance,
and SO in excess Of outlawry in other
States as to require an extraordinary
council of war of the Tennessee Sa-
chems, when in fact no such thing
was required at all. They thus give
c~ountenance abroad to a false and in
furious impression, and the public is
misled to attach an importance to this
affair, which exactly answers Radical
purposes, and which the truth does
not warrant. This little matter OF
Rutherford needed no words and SEN
sation, but action, and the prompt en-
forcement of the law which is better,
and ought to have been over and done
with long ago. That is what the good
name of the State calls for, and it is
an insult to the people of Tennessee
to suppose advice could be needed in
such a case. Yet all this vast ado Is
made out of the attempt of a few
young men in Rutherford to suppress
barn, crib and hOuse-burning, as i
the State and whole nation was put il
peril byit, and our grandmOthers were
all deprived of their sleep. The whole
affair will be forgotten for its very in
significance within three weeks. AnC
then the biographical record of tht
Nashville SOlomOns win be embel
lished with another "crisis."

THE excuse offered by STOKES in
Washington for his effort there to de-
feat the will of the people Of Tennes-
see, and that falling, to intimidate
them into the perpetuatiOn of negro
suffrage, and from the removal OfRad-
icals from Office, is what he terms the
" alarming political condition which
is fast precipitating Tennessee into the
hands of the Democracy. Certainly
that is a potent reason, and given
with great candOr. Well, that is the
way of things in Virginia, Kentucky,
New York, and elsewhere, besides
Tennessee. If he expects the Repub-
Iican party to follow his advice and
undo the peoples viii here, why not
there? Let that be done, If the Re
publican party dare, and the demand
for reform, for the overthrow Of the
tyrants, for the Constitution, for Lib
eFty, will come with the swiftness of
the tornado and the lightning out of
heaven. And the command Of the
people viii be heard above the rush
ing tempest and the voice of the thun-
der, s.all over the land, as it has done i'm

How BROAD are the Ocean of dark
ness that bound the various isthmus
of fixed, unqueStiOned truth. One of
our local universal suffrage organs of
Radicalism insists that popular educa-
ton is indispensable to the main
tenance of good government" We
assert and ask, will not universal suf-
frage, until education has achieved its
proper tasks, prove ruinOus to good
government? Should not schools be
opened to Africans before ballot boxes
are stuffed by them? Moreover, states
men, the Wisest of this and other
lands, have said that when govern
ment interyenes and undertakes the
moral and intellectual training Of
youth, the highest incentive to popu-
lar industry is destroyed. If the State
will honor only the wise and good,
each citizen will toll sedulously that
he may give virtue and learning to
his children. That government may
be best which governs least; and after
all that is said about forced popular
education, its adoption, as part of our
system, is in clear derogatiOn of true
republicanism. When our afternoon
Radical organ gets on one side Of the
isthmus of known truth, and asserts
the supreme necessity for universal
education, another unexplOred ocean
of inquiry is opened, and the question
arises whether the State, as a republic
can government, may wisely assume
parental duties and deprive the rich
and poor Of the strongest possible in=
centives to toll. If we would make
Tennessee a Prussia, and have a
FREDERICK for our master, who may

the State" then there can be nc
question as tG the wisdom even of
compulsory education. But while we
can regulate suffrage, mitigate its
evils, and restrain stupidity, the task
proposed may be at least deferred un-
til we have recovered from that finan-
cial weakness precipitated by thieves
who have ~plundened us so remOrse-
lesSly for four years past.

another column is from one Of our
oldest and most intelligent citizens, a
man who seeks no office, has no pri-

why was the suffrage eve restricted,
why not let women and boys, men,
