come sufficiently powerful to direct the
administration of internal affairs till
the twentieth century, We shouldIec-
ommend as the speediest mode OF APP
pIving the doctrine as the League IN
derstands it, that each Holy Lacquer
nick M his musket, 60. over to Cuba
and help in the pleasant amusement of
shooting the Spanish oppressOrs.
Here is a declaration, however, that
means business at home, and we give
it in full:
IS. Opposition to all churches, e
igions and sects acknowledging, in
temporal matters, any. authority out
side Of the limits of this country, or
/ owing any allegiance not consistent
with their allegiance TO this Govern
| ment. No creed should be in conflict
with the laws Of the land. Beyond
this, unlimited religious liberty and
liberation for every form Of divine
worship"
The Leaguers want the army and
navy put on a footing that will be
formidable to foreign enemies and do
nestle d~isturbers, and oppose any fur
Their reductions from considerations Of
petty economy.
There seems to be a disposition to
hedge on the universal ballot. The
Acknowledgement Of Ignorance, inca
pacitY, nee and pauperism," is de-
clared to be one of the objects of the
League. The exercise of the ballot Is
pronounced to be a privilege, not a
natural right, and to be %withholden
from those who will not use 1t Intelh-
gently and for the general welfare.
We fear, If this principle were applied,
a small minority of the people would
do the voting, and strictly applied
some members of the Holy League
might be excluded from the party.
The Peers of America are modest,
They don't propose independent politi-
cal action. They viii sit securely
aloft and survey the field Of conflict
and having reviewed it, measured the
strength of the combatants, and
studied their aims and.objects, Will de-
scend invisibly as the gods did upon
the plains of Troy, while Zeus held an
equal balance, to assist that party and
those candidates who commend them
selves by their virtues and intentions
most cordially to theimmaculate Peers
So the politicians must keep then
eyes open, or something will drop, a;
!, mysterious and from as u~naccOuntabl'
q source as the kissing bolides thai
startle the rustic as be YEARLY plodi
his homeward way in the twilight.

Of the Regulators in a gingerly way,
but confesses:
Their complaints we're well founded,
and were so acknowledged, though
their oppressOrs were only nomlnally
punished. They form the connecting
link between resistance to the Stamp
Act and the movement of l7l5i and
they also played q glorious part IN
taking possession Of the Mississippi
Valley, toward which they were carried
irresistibly by their love Of indepen-
dence. It is a mistake, IL any have
supposed that the Regulators were
cowed down by their defeat at the
! Alamance. Like the mammoth, they
shook the bolt from their brow, and
| crossed the mountains.
Thus. Tennesseeans have a direct
part and interest with North Carolina
in preserving the memories OF the
Alamance patriots, many of whom af-
terward participated in the mem rable
battle Of Kings Mountain, where the
willy and experienced Col. Ferguson, of
the British army, was ignobly routed
by backwoodsmen ii inferior numbers.
Ramsey tells US that 'the defeat Of the
Regulators on the Alamance quelled,
for time, the spirit Of resistance; but
the disafection remained, and caused
the voluntary exile of thousands Of In
dignant and independent freemen tc
the Western wilds. Remote from the
seat of power, and free from the oP.
p~ressions Of regal officers, Watauga
gave its cordial welcome to these hon
cts. hearted and virtuous patriots; anC

The USIoN AND AMERICAN SAID:
The members Of the General Assembly
1of aS63-7o were elected under the
franchise law Of the Brownlow regime,
which disiranchised 50 many thousands
Of the people Of Tennessee; and fur.

reply:
sNgw, every man IN Tennessee who
knows anything, knows that the Lcgis-
lature of 1869 was a0t elected under
the franchise Jaw Of the Brywniow
regime, OF any other franchise law.
This would seem 20 be a direct and
emphatic denial Of the charge Of the
UNION AND AMERICAN, but when you
come to look at the context from which
this is taken, it appears that a denial
Of the fac was not intended, but
simply an assertion that "the franchise
law Of the Brownlow regime" though
in force, was not enforced. The Leg
islature Of 1869 was elected in August.
That was the celebrated StOkes-Senter
campaign. Ex.G Governor and Senator
Brownlow advocated with might
and main the election Of SEN
ter. Stokes and hls set were ig-
unanimously defeated, thanks TO the
efforts Of the Brownlow party. True,
the Democrats and Conservatives help
