The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1872-08-15
The Prospect Brightens.

A meeting of several of the most
prominent citizens of Pulaski one
day this week was attended with a
result which has been long sought
and prayed for by all, but which I'm
til now has bafiied all efforts to ac-
complish. The town has been
stumpcd by. orators who have worn
all the bark off the insides of their
throatsiin vain endeavors to induce
others to 'see itin that light" That
whirlpool which casts up so much
Of both good ard evil, which has
the power to tear down and set up,
which ruins and reforms-that nael-
strom of misery or good luck, gossip,
has been stirred to the bottom and
all its forces brought to bear, but
without avail. Pen and ink is the
power which governs the world, |
while brain stands behind the throne
and directs the wand. These, the |
mightiest Of all, have witnessed in |
dismay their most powerful fulmina-
tons rebound harmless from the
object assaiIed and wither in their
weakness. Arguments, persuasions,
exhortations, appeals, applications,
threats, commands, have proven mis-
erably poYerless. Necessity has
arrayed a legion Of arguments, as
futile as a shadow. Pride has re-
peeled appeals, enterprise pronounc
ed humbug, and the instigators of
all these measures called insane. /;
One by one all these were directed
against the enemy, and as they failed
in detail a mass was determined up '
on. Then gathering the entire {
strength in solid phalanx the stron-
gest redoubts of opposition were a
but that which was irwin \
,ible before suffered a disastrous n
lefeat and retired in confusion.
Thus matters stood up to few
lays since, and the people of Giles al
lad accepted the situations" little VI
-reaming that coup d'etat was soon fl
o accomplish that which had been m
.iven up as forever lost.
The sun rose in splendor upon
he morning Of that day, and the
catering mists revealed a cloudless
ky. Nothing indicated the ap- Y
roach of what was about to trans 4
ire. The place of rendezvous for II
hose who contemplated the mighty Sc
cheme was silently peoPled with al
le conspirators, and unknown to tl
ne outside world the following re- -
buttons were unanimouslysscarrie Il
