"THE RECORDS"
Prospectus.

The want of religious paper, which should possess
in East Tennessee. Such paper, it was seen, should
be so cheap that every family might take it yet 90
high toned fresh vigorous to be highly esteemed
local in character as to interfere with none of our
able religious weekies published abroad and so ex
cusivey religious as to compete with none of our pro-
gressiVe secular papers.
1t is proposed this want by the publication at
Knoxville. Tennessee of a paper called THE RECORD,
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices,
shall sincerely aim to develop the religious interests of
East Tennessee. The of all the churches and re-
lgious bodies in our section will be thankfully accent
ed and will be given as fully and imrartiaIy as
sble.
The great aim will be to acquaint our churches with
another and place people in practical sympa-
thy with the great religious movements and the
est Christian thought of the age. Politics will be
rely excluded. Nothing uncharitabe or partisan or
controversial will be admitted but only that which it
is hoped may promote the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. in whose namethis enterprise is begun.
We desire to place the paper in every family in East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the co-opera
ton of every Christian worker. That cheapness and
excellence may be combined it will beissued monthly
but on good paper and in the best STYLE and will con-

The Memphis appeal justifies its
scheme to colonize or rather eXterminate
the blacks in the South, by referring to
Mr.. Lincoln's encouragement of the colo
nization scheme ten years ago. There are
marked differences between the two pol
icies. Mr.. Lincoln's was suggested ten
years ago, when there was, in some minds,
uncertainty and doubt as to the future of
the colored race. They were then slaves
and the policy of emancipation had not
then been fully decided upon. Mr.. Lin
coins policy was prompted by friendliness
to the colored race, while the appears
grows out of hatred. Mr.. Lincoln's pro-
posed policy was colonization if necessary,
while the Appe0pS is practically eater
n,ination. 1t advises the whites OF
the South not to give the color
ed race employment, nor to care
for their aged or young. This grows out Of a
spirit of revenge. It means determination,
starvation and all the horrors of struggle
that such selfish, cruel policy would force
upon the defenceless race. But we do not
propose to admit that the Appeal can JUS
ify by comparing its policy with Mr..
tLincoln's. There is vast difference in
the circumstances under which the two
suggestions were made. Mr.. Lincoln
would no more think nOaO of entertaining
such policy than in 1862 he would have
consented to the deliberate starvation of
Confederate prisoners at Camp Chase. In
1852 many wise and staunch anti>slavery
men were uncertain as to what fate would
befall the colored race then still enslaved.
Many would have compromised willingly
on colonization, though when they began
to carry it out they would have realized
their mistake.
1t is sheer absurdity to talk about it, 1t
is a physical impossibility and no sane,
practical man ought to spend time in do
ing more than proving to obtuse minds
the folly of it.

FORTY DAYs.-The producers row seem
thoroughly aroused to q full sense OF the
impending ruin that starss them In the face
and have resolved, without much controver-
ay, to stop pumping aud drilling for forty
days.
1t must prove an antidote to "too much
OIL" taking out Of production nearly three
fourths o! q million barrels 10 that time, and
probably enhancing the price Of the product
10 the following ninety day enough to can
eel all loss from stoppage.
In the meantime the greatest gain to the
producers will be in the consciousness ever
after of strength. 1t will forever inspire
them with confidence In each other when
organized. II will convince the most skep-
tical that the producers are the masters of
the situation.
Alte. this the bear corners will be as bare
as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. The cerr
tainty that when the price is too low, or the
production too great, that the wells will
stop pumping, will give tone and strength

age price of crude W i'll be an accomplished
fact.

On Saturday last. at Oil City, score or
so OF producers and reAners held On inform
al meeting 10 combine the interests of the
Producers W ith that of the Refnsrs' Comb

ReGners' Banking and Storage Association" I"
II was proposed that the Refining Associ-
alton agree to take from the Producers As

November 81, continuing 10 take that
amoant OF oil at the latter figure the year
round, the refners reta ini1g one dollar per

producers would sell TO no one else and keep

million or more of the producers money for

waters of the baths. The Marcbese said he
