THE Civil Rights bill has passed the
Senate and will, no doubt, pass the
lower House, thus placing the cap
stone upon the infamous structure
whose base is fanatic abolitionism, and
whose architect is Radical corruption.
Were it apparent that such forcible
interference with the social relations
of the two races, must result in good
to the negro, We could see some justifi-
cation for its advocacy by the deluded
victims of false humanity, but as
every thoughtful man must see that its
practical effect will be permanent inju-
~ to the social future of the negro, If
will be apparent to all, that the bill is
trick to delude the colored race into
continued support Of the Radical
party. 1t is the scheme of unscrupu-
lous demagogues for political effect,
md since it maps out the inevitable
conflict between the races, drawing
he line distinctly between the whites
and the blacks, and nccessitating an
antagonism which the whites of the
South, have labored to avert, therefore,
be it resolved, by the whites of Ten
nessee. that the next Legislature re-
peal the Common School law convey
the appropriations therefor back into
the treasury, and make them available
for payment of principal and interest
of State debt. Be it farther resolved,
hat the whites of Tennessee place
themselves in compact array against
the march of usurpation and social
tyranny, and, that having no rights
which Radical administration will
respect, they so shape the government
of the State as to protect those rights,
and secure the exclusive benefits, by
erecting no institutions and adopting
no measures that will by construction,
even, come within the scope of the
Civil Rights bill.
Grange schools may be made effici-
ent substitutes for the common schools
in the country, and the private school:
will do the same for the towns. The
line of color is drawn too broadly tC
be mistaken. and the time has come
when the whites, who have not defined
theirposition, must decide whether they
will stand by their own race, or become
identified, in all respects with the
colored population. The Radical lead
ers have precipitated this broad issue
leaving the whites no alternative save
unity of race, or present degradation
and prospective amalgamation with al
the ills of mongrel imbecility.

Z We have received additional advance
sheets of the forthcoming report by
the Bureau of Agriculture, for which
We are indebted to the Kindness OF j.
b. Killebrew, Esq, These pages are
devoted to the subject Of immigration,
which is treated with an ability and
fairness admirably calculated to attain
the contemplated end and in addi-
ton, tables and statistics of great value
the table especially, which explodes
the common belief that Tennessee is
conspicuous as an overtaxed State, and
that its debt is far beyond its capacity
to pay. The truth is, there are but two
States taxed at lower rate, aud facts
and figures are given, to prove its, abil-
ity to meet the interest and current ex-
penses, at the present rate, to create a
sinking fund and to pay off the debt,
years before the date fixed for It's liqui-
dation.
High taxes are not the chief cause
of the poverty so much complained of,
and seized upon Ly demagogues to
create discomfort and disorganization.
They who complain most Of hard
times are those who indulge in leisure
whilst their hirelings do half work
who lack judgment and fail in econo-
my, and know nothing of the first prin-
ciples of profitable agriculture. Il
they do not prosper, the fault is theirs
but the blame is laid on high taxes
This is the teaching ofthe Report, and
it teaches truly.
