one nearest his heart. He said such a

Republican party for at least a genera

would plunge the country into a bloody
and hopeless war, on the himsiest pre-
text, to save the existence of the most
wicked and despotic party that the world
has seen since the wreck of the earliest
republics. And that is the party the

MISREPRESENTATION AGAIN.

Some of the East Tennessee papers
are confident that another effort will be
made by Stokes, Maynard 4 Co. to have
Tennessee reconstructed. These worth
les, doubtless, have such wish at heart,
but we defy them. The people OF Ten
nessee are as loyal and law-abiding as
any in the Union, and the Radical party
dare not try the experiment of recon
structing such State. The attempt
would only hasten the downfall OF a
party already going to perdition. Let
them try it, and we will show the world
that the people of the United States
know the difference between despotism
and free government, and that they
know how to redress their wrongs at the
ballot-box and hurl the usurper to the
earth. The day has gone by when
the faction in power could meddle
in the local affairs and tamrer with
the sacred rights Of the people with
IMMUNITY. The Radicals have stored
up wrath against themselves for years,
and the hour of reckoning is at hand.
The more sagacious ones realize this
fact, and many of them are making
peace with the National Democratic
party, which is soon to control the
Government. This is wise, and will be
received in the proper spirit. The true
Union men make the very best Demo
Gratis, and their professions OF reverence
for a constitutional government will not
be doubted by any. Let them come and
welcome, and let the world see that we
harbor no animosities, and that the high
est aim of the Democratic party is to
secure the blessings of liberty to all
classes, without reference to the bitter
ness of the mast.

A RADICAL PLOT.

A plot has been discovered lately in
Rutherford county to assemble on q
given Saturday night at Smyrna depot
and sack the town. The citizens heard
of the intended raid, and took precau-
tionary measures, which caused the
negroes to desist. This is the second
plot of the kind which has been exposed,
and the consequences prevented,'in that
county, within the last three weeks. And
this comes of Radical teachings; it is
a natural out-cropping of the sentiments
of hatred toward the whites seduously
There are few desperate
Radical leaders in the State who would
hail negro riot, in which some of the
deluded wretches would get killed, with
great joy, for it would revive their hopes
of reconstruction.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

An Old Friend.-For many years the press
of the country has chronicled the beneficial
effects of Hostetter's Stomach Btters. Ed
itors, authors. physicians. merchants, officers
Of the army and navy. chemists, counsellors,
ministers Of the gospel, in short, a great cloud
of witnesses of every profession, trade and
calling, have testified to its efficacy as tonic
and regulating medicine. The names and
statements Of these witnesses have been pub
lshed in the public prints. Many of them are
well known to the whole public. Their testi-
mony has never been challenged or impugned.
