CONDITION OF TENNESSEE.

The perfect respect for law and order
that our people entertain disapproves the
necessity of congressional reconstruc-
tion Never was there time in the
affairs of the State when such a thing was
so little needed. The powerful effort to
make ont case against us has failed, and
there remains not the shadow of an excuse
for interfering with our local government.
Brownlow, the arch political hend and
traitor is in despair, and was heard to
saw that the Republican party in Ten
nessee must stand on its own bottom.
He means that Congress is not inclined
further to protect the party here with
bayonets, and that hereafter IT must look
out for the means of protecting its own
members This is the last straw which
is 10 break The camels back, and what
TO do next is an intensely anxious
thought with Radicals in these parts.
We win recommend to them remedy
for the evil they have fallen in to, and one
.thatis warranted to cure. What is y

ofiee-seeker in single breath. Why,

turn to the last man, who we prom

home. 1t would be an excellent mode
of Kidding society of a goodly number OF
nests who otherwise must torment

Congress should, after all, reconstruct
the sovereign State of Tennessee upon
the slender pretext that is now offered, a
preeed dent in the Government viii then

lion of the doctrine that the General
Government is the only supreme power
in the land and can afford to take the
States in hand TO remodle them at plea
sure We doubt that the Radical party
Is prepared to go before the country
with such plank in their platform
If however, they think therevolution has
so far progressed in OYerturning the
old framework of our fathers that they
may with assurance make the bold decle
ration, the issue then NEST be tried before
the people in the next general election
II should be remembered that the Soutl

With how much truth now can we throw
back the vile SANDER in the faces of oul
enemies, and fix it upon those who
Ought to wear the disgrace. If Tennes
see Is let alone, there stands nothing il
the path of her success that would
retard ibe present onward movement
of the people to the goal of prosperity
and happiness The policy of the Radi
cal party is not, we fear, to preserve th'
Constitution and protect the liberties o
the American citizens, but to build up I
strong Central Government at Washing
