how he will look in it when

and he likes to have those
ideas carried out. That's
just what we do; we do it
to the letter, and we see to
it that your outlay isn't un-
reasonably large at that.

The First Clouds Of War,


CoMRADEs:-We can we'll imag-
inc our forefathers, at the close OF
the Revolutionary war, as they re-
turned to their peaceful vacations,
with the scepter of monarchy brok-
en- and lying at their feet-freemen
in free country-hearts filed with
JOY and gladness, as they began the
work of forming new government,
based upon the doctrine that all
men are created free and equal.
Elated over the triumphs Of
American arms; bound and sealed
together in their patriotism by
American blood with which this
new world had been SO copiously
baptized, the grand old heroes from
Massachusetts and from South Car

each ready to do and to die II need
be, in defense of the others right to
@life, liberty, and the pursuit Of hap
piness." They could see clearly the
evils Of monarchy, Of taxation with.

tions involved In that long and des-
perate struggle. They had learned
to hate the British and their 60 vern-

they felt that the inheritance pur-
chased by them had been at such
cost that no descendant could be
forgetful and disregard the sacril-
ces and sufferings through which
they had passed.
In the early settlement Of this
country, slavery was not regarded
with much favor, even in the South
orn States. Yet, it prevailed
throughout the Union. The trade
was fOstered by ship owners who
made it profitable to import the Az
rican, while the invention of the
cotton gin in 1893, greatly increased
the demand for slave labor, and
tended to popularize slavery as an
institution. We are told that
washington, Jefferson, Franklin,
Hamilton and others of the leaders
of public opinion in the early histo-
ry of the country, were opposed to
slavery on moral and religious
grounds; and not less as system

rENNEssEE's DEGRADATION.

~ Nag
The Legislature has apparently
resolved upon its course of action.
It will defy the miners, keep its con-
tract with the iron and coal compa-
ny and set the convicts at work
again. This seems to be the mean
ing of the resolution passed on
Thursday, alleging that it is not
within the power Of this Legislature
to annul the convict lease, and of
most of the discussions since then.
If the Legislature adjourns with
out granting specific powers to the
Governor, he cannot use any State
troops in suppressing any insurection
there may be in consequence Of the
Legislatures refusal to repeal the
convict lease, AT the mines things
will be in the same state - they were
before, except that the miners will
have the advantage Of knowing that
troops cannot be used against them.
The lessees may hire men TO protect
the convics the Etate has sold to
them, but these guards will be pri-
vate persons and will have no author
ity beyond what they carry in their
guns. ,..,
On the other hand, if the Legisla-
ture, now that it has decided that
the lease must stand, empowers the
Governor to call out the militia in
order to preserve order in the dis
turbed counties, then there will
shortly be civil war there. The
hardy mountaineers of East Tennes-
see are heartily in sympathy with
the free miners, and will do all they
can, either secretly or openly, to
assist them. The militia will lose a
great many men if it undertakes a
pitched battle with the armed min
ers. The latter have threatened to
free all the convicts in Anderson
county and run them over the State
line, and in this proceeding the con-
victs would, of course, lend their
assistance.
Thus far in the session, little or
nothing has been heard Of the elec-
ton laws. Perhaps their turn will
come this week. When it does we
shall probably see one Of the boldest
attempts to disfranchise Republicans
without disturbing Democrats that
has yet been brought forward any
where. What is wanted is some
method to prevent large number
Of Republicans in this district from
voting. They have disfranchised a
number in Knox county, but how to
reach the other counties in the dis
trict by a general act which shall
not apply to Democratic counties in
other districts, and how to do this
without raising too much fuss-are
problems not easily solved.
Our State is not presenting a very
edifying spectacle to her sister COM

In 1860, when the political parties
assembled to make their nomina

ocratic camp, and two sets of can
didates were placed before the peo
pie. The old Whig party had been
attempting to steer between break

given up her grand old name, and
entered the contest as a weakling
The Abolitionists had long sought
public recognition and favor, and
had only been met with abuse, jeers
and prosecutions, until in 1856
