A ..pERSECUTED,, NASHvULLIAN

The New York Tribune appears to
have learned but little from its experience
with the Tourgee letter in regard TO out
RACES in North Carolina. In its issue of
the Sd inst, it presents the following:
can old subscriber writes us from Nash
vile, Tenn, Aug. %, as follows:
'''The prosecutions of the Rebels here
are such as TO compel me to leave my ma
tive State.
'''Many Republicans are now migrat-
ing, especially those who came in during
or since the war. None can stay in peace
unless they vote the Rebel Democratic
ticket Those who will do this are toler-
ated, but not respected; while for South
cn-born Republican there IS no peace.
Hence, property is depreciating in value,
and what styles itself Conservatism is
making this deluded people poorer every
day. Ms.
Eve believe the above true exhibit,
while we know and gladly proclaim that
there are tens of thousands of Exon
federates, and especially of those who
fought for the rebellion, who are peace
full, loyal, good citizens. But are these
doing their whole duty? What they
might do is shown in Nirginia-s State
fully under Conservative rule, vet as
peaceful and law-abiding as Vermont

tected from Prussian aggrandizementG
This ID question more pertinent, and all
Western Europe are deeply interested in
1.-THE eminent successor the Prussian
military system has been but too painfully
and plainly proven. No power in YES
tern Europe can stand against it. If
France, whose ruler until very recently
seemsfo have been the most efficient pro-
moter of Prussia's schemes--if France
is TO be inundated, her less powerful and
hitherto less amiable neighbors may well
trembie for the future. Even Russia, so
safe in her semi barbaric isolation, seems
restless at the prospect. -'r
Therefore it seems reasonable to hope
for speedy termination of the outpour-
ing of blood, through the mediation of
nentrals- The present seems most OPP
perfume moment. Prussia IS has done
enough for glory-enough for safety.
France is crippled for a generation, un
less stung into desperation by further az
erosion. And, on the other hand, if the
holocausts of German life continue to bt
offered up unnecessarily on the altar Of
mere Prussian ambition, Germany may
call King William TO terrible account
therefor; and his star now radiant with /
glory that reminds us of the great Fred
erick, may sink in blood and gloom a
suddenly as that of the brilliant Napoleon

exhibit -tNorsueh condition of affairs
exists here as this writer represents.
There is not a city in the North where
freedom of opinion on political questions
is more fully tolerated and put into prac-
tice than in Nashville. 1t is true that
''many Republicans are migrating, espe-
cially those who came in during or since
the war;" but the Tri6une's sold sub
scriber" knows very well that per-
secution has nothing to do with
their migration. Most of them have held
office here and have grown wealthy,
and now that the white men vote and
have elected Others to the places they oc-
cupied, they have come to the conclusion
that they can do better ia Kansas or some
other portion Of the West. There are
hundreds of Northern men in Nashville
to-day who are prospecting in various
branches of business, and who, are held
in high esteem by tSSouthern-born'i clti.
zens; but they did not come here to oc.
cupy the offices and snarl and carp at the
citizens they found here, and misrepresenl
them by all sorts of improbable stories.
Many of these Northern born citizens are
Radicals, and they will tell the Tribune,
| if it desires to know the true condition Of
affairs here, that the story of its ''old
subscriber" is a pure fiction; and thai
what is true of Nashville, is equally SO Of
Middle and West Tennessee. r. rr7a

THE PROSPECT FOR PEACE


France being unprepared for war, her
regular army destroyed and dispersed,
and nothing remaining to her but mass
of unorganized, undrilled militia, the new
government will hardly assume vOluDta-
rily the responsibility of continuing the
unequal struggle. The policy of the re-
public evidently is to throw the response
bility for unpreparedness, disaster and hui
initiation where it properly belongs, upon
the defunct Imperial regime. And 1t
would be wise in the victorious King of
Prussia to accord cordially such liberal
terms as the French people might
accept without further humiliation. An
exacting, grasping disposition on his part
may arouse all the fire of '92, creating
spirit of patriotic revenge that the new
Paris government might find irresistible.
The situation is already threatening
enough. The success of Republicanism
in France will be quickly followed by
similar popular movements in Spain and
and Italy; and even Prussia itself holds
dangerous proportion of Red Republicans.
King William might overreach himself
and pave the way for sort of German uni
tv. which he would bethe last to promote.
Herr Won Bismarck argues with dialec-
tic precision upon the various possible
means of protecting Germany from
French arrogance and ambition. And his
anxiety for the quiet of the South Ger
man States is refreshingly humane. But
the point whose settlement is more desira-
bic lust now, is, how shall France be pro-

APETHTION AGAINST DEsPOTIsm.

The New York Journal of Commerce
has received from Texas very long petit
ton, signed by many respectable citizens
of that State, asking Congress to guaran-
ty to them republican form of govern
.ment. The petition is strong, but tenn
perately worded, and we should think
could not fail to produce a good effect
wherever read. 1t asks for nothing but
what every lover of republican institu
lions of all parties ought to be glad to see
established in Texas-that is, form Of
State government analogous to that of
other States of the Union. They
say they are fully prepared to
live under such government
in peace and quietude, and We credit their
assertions, for there is no part of this
country where industry, frugality and
obedience to the laws (cruel and unjust as
many of the statutes are) prevail more
than in Texas. The Journal Of Com
n1erce Justly remarks that no people on
earth, except those who have been trodden
under despotic heels for centuries, and in
whom the love of freedom is a lost sense,
could be patient under such tyranny as
the Texans now suffer from. The Gov
ernor has a larger share of irresponsible,
one man power than falls to any po-
tentate in Christendom, except, perhaps,
the Gar of Russia, and this power he
abuses, as the Russian autocrst does not.
To begin with, the Governor is command
er-in-chief of the militia, and has large
force at Lis, disposal Then he is su-
preme head of an extensively organized
State police, having members in all the
cities and towns. Then he has the APP
pointment of all the district attorneys and
every county and municipal officer in the
State, even down to the aldermen of
cities. Every soldier, every constable,
and every civil functionary is solely respon-
sible to the Governor. The act by which the
appointmentof civil officers are given to the
Governor was passed in direct violation of
the State Constitution, but the Legislature
who were merely the creatures of the am
bilious executive, stickled at nothing to
please him. There are now some signs
of quarrel between them and their mas
ter, and out of their discussions the people
of Texas may possibly recover some of
their lost rights, or at least, not suffer
any further enCroachment. But for en-
tire relief they can only look to Congress,
though we frankly say that we fear they
will suffer great disappointment in ex-
pecting any alienation of their miseries
from that source. ..- - e.

our political stump speakers of a traveller
pursuing his journey, who came upon ga
solitary horseman" riding furiously back
and forth upon a small piece of good firm
road. The traveller accosting ''the solita-
ry horseman," asked him why he was
riding so frequently over that short piece
of road. He was answered: stranger,
l have been travelling for several days
over the worst road l ever saw. This is
the first part of the road that have found
which was fit &c travel over, and l intend
to get the full benefit of it." Putting
spurs to his horse ''the solitary horse
man" continued his furious pace
up and down the small piece
Of firm ground We find an illus
tration of this peculiar conduct in our
city contemporary. Recently it has been
travelling over Gen. Browns address,
which it finds to be very uncomfortable
travelling. Gen. Brown is unwilling to
achieve success on an equivocal platform.
he says ''there are now but two national
parties, the Radical Republican and the
National Democratic. With one of these
parties every man in Tennessee, who
would cast his vote and contribute his in
fiuence in the direction of hispolitical faith
must unite. No middle ground can be oc-
cupied, and neutrality at this juncture
would, inmy opinion, be criminal. II am
in accord with the National Demo
cratic party, and stand in political
faith where l did in June, 1868, when
had the honor, as Chairman of the Com
mittee, to report resolutions to the State
Convention then sitting at Nashville /;
aud shall earnestly labor, in the ranks
or elsewhere, in the great battle which
is being fought by that party for
the principles of constitutional liber-
ty." 81 o,lheSitatingly announce my
self q Democrat" These are tough places
for the Banner TO travel over Hence
il finds relief in the expression: ''The
political parties as they formerly existed
in the Southern States persisted with the
late war, and their names as we'll as their
creeds belong now TO history" There
fore it harps upon it from day to day;
quotes it in numerous editorials. 1t in
tends, in the language of ''the solitary
horseman,n to get the full benefit of that
little piece of road. .
The question is not as to parties as they
existed in the Southern States before the
war, but as 10 parties as they nO,O exist
in the Union. Brown, and COlyar, and
Stephens, and Netherland, and Caruthers,
and Henry are in favor of our
being recognized as part and
parcel of the National Democracy.
The Banner is opposed to merging
with any national party. 1t is in favor of
the Conservatives ''to stand by
their name, which can be borne equally
by Wings, Democrats and Republicans,
and under it TO rally and organize in every
district for the coming fall
..
Who is right, the Banner or the distin
guished gentlemen whose names we have
above, and who are willing to
fight Sin the ranks or elsewhere, " in the
great battle which is being fought by the
National Democracy for the principles of
liberty? Who is right Let

1t is deemed of the highest importance, in

there should be unity of action among the

The Executive Committee appointed by

for the purpose of preserving harmony
