Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-07-25


Read the article, published else
where, headed "Thc Beginning"
from Huntingdon paper. We
could fill our columns with utter
aaces even more insane and atroci-
Gus than those that brought Miller
to his death, taken from the speech
Is OF negroes in different portions
Of the South, but VIC fail TO do so,
simply because we do not wish to
pour oil upon fires that are already
burning with too much fierceness.
Ever the blacks seem TO be
under influences of the most Perni-
cioHs character, and unless they
learn wisdom, and that soon, the
hanging Of Miller W III indeed be on
" the beginning OF n series OF terri
BILE tragedies. The incendiaries a
mong the blacks do not seem to
think Of or care for anything, ex-
cept the qualification Of their lust.
This Is the road to war, to the des-
truction OF the race, and il must be
abandoned at once.
Here Is the way Ell Shaw and his
associates talked al the Nashville
Convention, and the white Radical
ring of Madison county have never
publicly dared to evincc any repug-
nance to the doctrine:
Resolved, We will use our utmost
endeavOr to STAMP upon any dema-
gOgue who seeks to betray the priv
ilcges Of our children TO their full
enjoyment of impartial aud equal
privileges with public schools, the
brand of the traitor Judas as DESERT
ing politically a traitors doom,
whom we viii never, never join
hands with nor support, but will re-
gard as our public and political en-
envy. mOreterrible TO meet than a
savage beast, more injurious than
any catastrophe that could befallIus,
or any calamity that could be devils
ed by any wicked unseen power
Mr.. Boyd, who aspircs to the Dig
ntfied aud responsible position "
travels around the coun-
try in style. He has Monsieur Con-
tie, a cOlored gentleman with him,
but Conte's business is not to hold
Mr.. Boyd's horse, or to attend his
person. He has higher office. He
makes the speeches of Mr.. b. 1t
sticks in the throat of the latter to
endorse the Civil Rights Bill, but
Conte, who does endorse it, gives
his colored friends to understand
that his superior DIS all right" and
while he arraigns the Democratic
party for seeking TO give a political
turn to contests not purely politi-
cal, wants Boyd elected solely be-
cause he is n Radical, and openly
proclaims the fact. Conte is a glib
talker, but there is no consistency
in anything he says.
Mr.. Boyd asked permission of the
of the Shropshire House,
on Saturday last, to be allowed to
hold a conference with a Colored
friend in the parlor of the hotel
The request was refused as a mat
ter of course, but we do not see
why the would-be-Ehaucellor did
not save himself the pain of this re-
fusal, by holding his levee in the
private parlor of some white Radi-
cal in the city. He was the guest of
one of these, as we understand, and
We wish to know why he did not
invite his colored friends to the par
Tor of his host. What is sauce for
the goose ought to be sauce for the
gander.
THREATENED Survive are in
formed that Judge Jesse Harper &
Co. arc about to institute suit a
gainst the Wing and Tribune for Ii
bel, and that they will lay them at
$50, 900. We intend to conduct this
paper ina way that will promote
the best interests of the people
of Jackson and of Madison coun-
ty, and when Mr.. Harper or any
one else, makes war on those inter-
ests, by trying to stir up strife be-
tween the two races in our midst,
we will seourge khim and spare not.

Recollect that the gathering at
the Fair Grounds OH Saturday was
solely in the interest of Boyd, and
that he brought with him from
Brownsville, Conte, the negro can
didate for Circuit Court Clerk of
Haywood, who spoke in his behalf,
telling his hearers that Boyd was
for him. aud that he was supporting
him in preference to an own uncle,
Thos. A. Rayner, who was a candi-
date for the same office.
FooTE AND JoHSsoN.-In the con-
between these gentlemen we
do not propose to take any part, for
the present at least. II the EXPIRES
