Therefore, we, the Liberal Repnb
IcaAs Of Tie United States, i'll Ma
tinaal Contention assembled at Gin
c;alati, prortssiu Che following prin-
c;,,!es rs essential to Just Govern
ment !:
l. We recognize The equality Of
ali men before the law, and held
that it is the duty Of Government in
its dealings with the people to 1netc
out cgAal and exact i!istco to ali, of
vhateyer nativity, race, color, or
persuation, religious or political.
9. We pl=,tlya ourselves to main
tain the Union Of these States,
emancipation, and onfr:lnclJisemcnt,
ans; TO oppose any rcopenins Of tie
question settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution.
8. We demand the Immediate
and ahso!nta removal Of all disabili-
ties imposed en- account Of the re-
hel|ion which Was FINELY sn}"iued
seven years ago, believing that mi
yersal amnesty Will result in COM
plate pacification in all sections Of
the country.
1. Local se,f-government, with
impartial suffrage. will guard the
rights of all citizens more securely
than any centralized power. The
public well:1rc requires tho suprem-
acy OF the civil over the military au-
tho1ity, and freedom OF person nn-
der the protection Of ha1sos corpus.
We demand for the individual the
largest liberty consistent With public
order, for the State self-goyernment,
and for the nation return to the
methods OF peace and the constitu-
tiona' limitations Of power.

HUMPHREYS COUNTY.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
WAvERLY, Feb. 26, lS72.-Humphreys
county is not a wealthy county, but yet
there is some as good land in it as any other
county. 1t affords a county seat which is
beautifully situated on Trace Creek, ten
miles east of Tennessee River. This town
is fast improving. The people are very
diligent, and labor hard for the improve
ment Of their town. 1t bears the name of
Waverly. The citizens of Humphreys cOun-
ty are very hOspitable and law-abiding.
Our county officers are all Obliging and
good citizens, always looking forward
to the welfare of their county. |
would admonish all emigra both far
and near that wish to settle where the
people are all good-hearted, law abiding,
peace loving and religious, and where the
country is both level and mOuntainoUs,pO
and fertile, good water and healthy to give
us a call. We won't charge them anything
for looking at our county. If they don't like
it nothing is lost but their time. During
the second week of the month there were
three marriages in this county, the gentle
men all being widOwers and the Ladies
all widows. This is the tray for low. Can
anybody beat it..

FROM ROBERTSON County.
The Greensboro RaiIrOad-COI. Beyier's
Speech-NashVtIIe and Chicago.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
Cross PLAINS, ROBERTSON COUNTY,
March ?, 1ST2.-Thinking the "PeOple's"
would have no objec ions to hearing from
our rural little city Of Cross llains, nestled
down as We are at pIesens so far away from
the outside world, that you might very pro-
parly place this under the head of foreign
But We hope soon from the prospect now
offered to us by the new and popular rail-
rad (Owensboro, Russelville and Nash
vilie) line to be one Of the tributary and
suburban villages of your fOurishing city,
aud be in direct communication with the
outside and busy world.
We had large aud enthusiastic railroad
meeting here today, which was an assem-
Div of the staunch, earnest and enterpTising
farmers and merchants of our city and sur
rounding country. Col. r. 5. Bevier, Vice
President Of the o., K. & n. r. r, aa-
dressed the meeting and made an impress
sive and telling speech for the road, il
which he set forth in powerful and con-
vincing manner the many real and great
advantages offered by this new popular
and what will be a very fine paying line.
Opening up as it does one of the richest
agricultural and mineral sections in our
country, and bringing us in direct commu-
nication with the great markets OF the
North and East, as well as opening up to
us and Offering direct communicable. 5 with
all Southern cities and points South, max
ing this route one Of the grelt "thr0ugh
lines" of our national railroad system. This
new line, Offering allthese and many more
inducements, makes it one of the most de-
sirabe lines for investment ever offered 10
our citizens; and predict for the o. X. q
n. r. r. successful future.
The citizens Of our town and section have
taken hold of the offer with spirit, and the
prospect is large and heary subscription
to its stock all along the line in our county,
and especially in our little city.
But l regret to see an attempt made
by the city Of Chicago and others are
tryingtO influence the construction of the
road so that it will pass by Nashville by the
way of Gallatin to MurfreesbOrO and there
connecting with the Chattanooga and Nash
vile road and Southern cities. Nashville is
and should be one of the objective points,
in fact, Nashville should not allow it to pass
her. Nashville should be the distributing
point for the South, and ere long | hope TO
see Nashville take that lead in the CONNER
cal world that her position justly entities
her to. Let Nashville speak with the one
thing needful in her hand and she will Sc
cure the road. We want the road! and
Nashville cannot do without il. We mean
business, and we all in this section are will
ing to pay for it. On with the railroad!

VIRGINIA BLACK PEA.

We have received from John II. MCGEE,
of Denmark, a sample of a black pea which
be calls the Virginia black pea, that is said
to be exceedingly prolific, hardy, and well
adapted to both clayey and sandy soils.
Mr.. MCGEE states that he planted half a
bushel on one acre and half, in ridges
three feet apart, and gathered from them
thirty bushels, and could have gathered
more but for the weather.
These peas sell readily for four dollars
per bushel, which makes them, with the
small amount OF labor expended, a very
productive crop. They may be planted on
wheat stubble land, or any other place, as
late as the middle of July. The vines act
as a fertilizer, completely shading the land
and furnishing large amount of vegetable
matter that may be turned under after the
peas are gathered. We are inclined to be
Iieve from the representations that we have
that this pea is the GLOVER for sandy soils
or soils that have been SO much exhausted
as to be incapable Of growing clover. lit
proves an effective renovator for the worn
out sandy soils Of West Tennessee it will
be more valuable to that section than the
discovery Of a gold mine.
