anything to what had already bssa said to
the large crowd by such anle spe.kers Is
Tess kieHses SleQhe1s, Sazaza aud Gen.
Quarles. He could only add bis own sc
ton 20 Tie testimonial already so eIoaaent-
u paid to tns noble standard bearer II the
Democracy, Gen. Frank Cheasbau.
| He reviewed J0hns0n's record, said be was
| running to elect the Radical ard prsYen.ed
peace rom dwelling among us. Il wa for
| this johnson followed in the wake Of The
Federal army with a Brigadler-Gere
commission, deserted MS country, allied
himself with the Radicals in 1854, refused
10 support Gov. Jno. @. Brown when be ran
two yea-s ago, bat preferred q Radical
insulted poor helpless women and little
children, imprisoned the old men and the
preachers. There were some things in bis
record which would damn him forever.
Mrs Suratt's murder, for which be could
forgivs him and overlook, had Ros johnson
told falsehood in referring 10 il. He said
he never knew her dsEghter was az bis
door, z1 pleading Tor mercy. This
Us false. p Waen that poor girl
went 10 bis door and it was slammed in
her face, the screams Of that miserable
daughter were heard four squares. He
suspended the writ of habe4s corpus espe-
cially In order to hang that poor Oil grey
haired mother. In England judges have
been hung because they suspended the writ
of habeas corpus and denied men the right
of trial By jury. What should be done with
this old traitor Andrew johnson for suspend
ing this writ? Vino enslzyed you? Who is
Brownlow, who sat here at your capitol ia
1864 and placed your liberties in the hands
Of IF
the last viii and testament of Andrew
johnson, who Is using every means to
disorganize and create divisions In
order TO Let Radicals triumph. Aud
up 70 few days ago he had a thing
Of this shape running for Governor
who himself Is endeayOfinc 10 write traitor
on the brow Of our people. He then show
ed that he could never support Andrew
johnson. He joined the Coniederate army
and was imprisoned in Fort Warren, where
+ be remained, and when his relatives an
Piled to Andrew johnson to let them for
ward him proper clothing, Andrew JJhn-
son refused them aud cursed them. He
! said be would fight Andrew johnson I'll
I he'll froZe over before he would vote for
him.
Andrew johnson says be is 4 Demo
crat. Great God Almighty the man who
was nominated By the Radicals =
Democrat l would as soon take the Devil
to be an angel Of light as to take Andrew
johnson to be Democrat The people of
Tennessee can never degrade themselves,
can never dishonOr the bones OF their
ancestry to adopt Andrew johnson.
In response.to say something about the Gal
latin Convention, be replied that it was
broken up by few set of johnson men,
who, ike johnson, would sink this State in
he'll to accomplish his purpose. johnson
could afford to give Cheatham 5000, when
johnson had grown fat on Congressional,
Presidential and Military Gubernatorial
salaries. Col. Turner appealed to the peo-
pie to uphold their organization and sup
port Gen. Cheatham, the Democrats
nominee, etc.
JUDGE MARKS
next delivered speech of great force, and
most excellent logic. Owing to the late
ness Of the hour we are unable to give q
report Of his remarks, in which be COM
pared Gen. Che2tham to the Ney of France.
The Ney Of France fought a hundred bat
ties and not one against
France. Gen. Chatham, the New
of Tennessee, has fought an hundred bat
hACo III n4o NOuA4sA on0 ACNCA OuO AS1lLl5s
bis country. The allies, however, tried the
Ney OF France before a dIum-head court
martial, and, with matchless cruelty, de-
tailed file Of old comrades TO shoot him.
Shall we call upon detail Of Confederate
soldiers to execute their companion in
arms, the Ney Of Tennessee? The soldiers
were forced to execute to death the Ney of
France. You are not forced to shoot the
Ney Of Tennessee. CCries Of HNe, nsver."1
A speech was also made by Col. w. 81.
Stephens, but owing to the lateness Of the /
hour we are unable to give a report of it.
DISTURBANCE.
Several attempts were made to interrupt
the meeting by boys and few drunken
men, over-zealous friends Of Dir. johnson.
These persons were generally too young to /
vote, and it is evident they were induced-to .
act as they did by men who had not the i'm .
pudenee to openly engage in such unbecOm- .
ing conduct. T
The late hour prevents US giving more.
