committed by BrownIow men. The yilest
felons are pqrGoued out of the PeuitentiarY
if It is ascertained that they are Radicals.
The people, everywhere, are taxed beyond
endurance, and the Den whom they elect
and send to the Legislature 10 represent
them are igrominously elected anI sent
back home. Whole communities By The
stroke of The pen Of petty tyranc are
stricken down aud the right of voting Ia
ken away. Worst Of all. the people arc By
this same organ, edited by a man who is
ueither Of them uor for them, defantly told
that even if under the laws made by Rad
icals they should elect Governor. he shall
not take his seat.


This organ, this editor. whose meat and
bread are given him out Of the peoples
money by the most terribly proscriptive
intoleFant party. that ever dis.raced the
land Of 2 once free people. this organ, this
editor, who hast dollar in the world nor
a morsel of bread nor pound Of meat,
nor pillow upon which to lay lis head
nor chair to sit upon, nor fire by which
TO warm himself, nor ice with which to
cool himself, nor light by which to write
bis abominable illusions, nor even water
with which TO wash himself, except what
has been g;yea him out ofan impoverished
peoples money, wruug from therh by
system not a whit better than robbery
taxation without representation and this
same organ now threatens us With tbs ven
geance Of Congress If we hire a negro who
is our friend in preference 10 one who is
our enemy Bali


Do you think We are q cackIing fowl


TO be scared owl:


OF course the whole thing about the
organization is fiction. and was not intend
ed to be believed, but no man but mise.
rable sneak would employ anybody. either
white or black. who is his enemy and who
is working night au4 day 70 disgrace him
and his children.


We have offered to tie Tennessee Rad
icals to compromise On any terms that are
honorable, and would to-daT abandon the
contest if guaranteed The liberties which
Congress has given tho States south Of US.
But Tho miserable tyranta say NO !''-
They want little despotism Of their own,
and their only chance to have it is TO keep
US stili longer under their feet With this
intent the Press and Times now proclaims
FIRE and birthstone on earth if VIC don't
hire Radical instead Of Conservative ne
groes--that if we need sergants ge must
employ one who goes every night TO the
Loyal League, aad swears 70 destroy US,
instead Of one who is our friend "IIel
on earth IS to be our portion if ne disre-
gard this odict.


We wish TO be frank shout tbis matter
and perhaps we can undeceive the Press
and Times about some points, concerning
which 1t is lamontably in the dark. The
day has gone by, when a newspaper could
dictate terms aud prescribe laws for the
Government of the people ia social matters
and business. Hardly three years ago the
editor Of the Press and Tines did not hes
itate TO insult and SANDER the ladies' Of
Nashville in the most offensive and shame
less manner, but the day for such things
has, thank God, gone by, and we beg leave
to notify tie Press md Times that we are
citizens Of the United States, have our
PardOns in our POcllols, are t@enty-one
years Of age and intend to employ or pa
tronizo whom we please, Neither the IN
science, nor threats Of the dignitaries of
Tennessee Radica.ism, much less neither
its unacrupulous organ, shall be permitted
to disturb our social or domestic rotations
with The colored raco.-Bauaer.
