The Union State Convention will convene
in Sacramento on Wednesday next. Upon
the action of that body hangs the fate of the
party. fits proceedings are conducted har-
moniously, and ticket placed in the field
which is not objectionable to any portion of
the loyal voters of the State, no fears need be
entertained for the result but, on the con-
trary, should personal prejudice and bias be
allowed to control the action of the Conven-
ton, disruption and defeat will inevitably
follow. The Convention for the nomination
of a candidate for Congress from this District
will be held upon the adjournment of the
State Convention. Our choice Cor that po-
sition is well known. We are of the opinion
that Hon. William Highly is the best, the most
available, and will add more strength to the
ticket than any one else whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the office.

Brownlow labored all his life,
up to within six months past, to
vindicate the divinity of slavery,
and only advocated giving. the ne
groes the right of suffrage in or
der to perpetuate his power.


The Conservatives are men who
are tired of Brownlow's reign of
hatred, and who are disgusted
with his hypocrisy towards the
negro. They are striving to gain
equal rights and privileges for
all men, white or black, who are
not disqualified by a conviction
of crime before a court Of justice,
because they know that only in
this way can we have peace and
prosperity.

Cases of poisoning often occur
in which life might be saved and
hours of agony averted, if we
only knew what to do in season.
If a poison burns the throat and
acts violently on the stomach,
swallow halt q pint of sweet oil,
or melted butter or lard, and with
in five minutes, take half pint
of warm water, in which has been
stirred a teaspoonful of ground
mustard and salt. The oil arrests
the action of the poison, and the
mustard, etc., causes vomiting.


If the poison swallowed does
not burn the throat and act with
instant violence, but causes sick
ness, stupor or faintness, swallow
the whites of three eggs, also a
quantity of the strongest coffee it
is possible to make, and in few
minutes take the warm water,
mustard and salt, as before men
toned. An eminent physician
says that with the prompt use of
oil, whites of eggs, and strong
coffee, and the emetic, as above
directed, the fatal result of any
poison likely to fall in the way
of man or child, may be always
averted. The remedies are In
themselves harmless, and might
all be taken into the stomach at
once, in any quantity, without
damage to the system; and they
are things which we always have
at hand. But, while using these
things, don't fail to send for ply
sician. And, above all, and first
of all, don't have any poison
around.

The moonlight was finging shadows
Over the dewy grass,
As sat by the window watching
For a well-known shadow to pass.
1t came by the side of the pathway
That led to our cottage door,
But paused by the lilac bushes,


Where it never had paused before.
And another shadow fitted


Out through the lighted hall,
And across the branches of roses
Isaw the shadow fall.
They mat by the fragrantlilacs,


And / saw the taller bend
Over the slender shadow


Of the girl 1 called my friend.
All! his love was light as the shadow
Of the graceful lilac-tree,
And the sun of royal beauty


Had turned it away from me.
Before the dawn of morning


All the moonlight shadows depart;
But the shadows that fell that evening,
For ever viii rest on my heart.

Being lately attacked with
violent collie, accompanied with
cramp, after trying several Of the
usual remedies without relief, I
was induced to drink a tumbler
of strong salt water, as warm as I
could bear it, and at the same
time to apply cloth, wrung out
of bowl of hot water, to the
abdomen, over which also a dry
one was placed. The relief was
almost immediate, the salt and
water appearing to remove the
cause, which was indigestible food,
and the wet bandage produced
rapid perspiration and relaxation
of the bowels, both of which rem
edies tended rapidly to relieve the
patient. ISAAC P. SHELBY.

The Nashville Banner says:
Captain Asa Hays better known
as "Black Hawk" who COM
manded a company in the FEEDER
al army, from Henderson county,
during the late war, made a speech
in Lexington last Friday, in
which he declared himself oppos-
ed to Brownlow, and in favor Of


conservative principles. He
thought it all wrong to exclude q
man from voting merely because
he had been in the ''rebel" army.
Hed does not believe that the man
who fought as a brave and faithful
soldier in the rebel army through
out the war, is trying to deceive
him, when he declares his willing
ness to renew his allegiance to the
United States Government. He
is not afraid to trust such a man.

Their Views and Wishes-DO Not Ash


suTrsge-A Sensible Address.


The freedmen of Texas held q State
Convention at Bastrop on the 9th ult., and
adopted an address, from which we extract
as follows


We desire to preserve a nationality OF
color; to remain a distinct race; 10 avoid
partisan conflicts for we are fully per-
suaded in our own minds that any contest
with the superior race would reduce and
lower our condition, entail upon us all the
preiudices Of caste, ALLEVIATE all the sympa-
thy that humanity in the old world or the
new have for Us. 4 conflict would engen-
der all the horrors of vengeance and
hatred; would arouse all the debasing
qualities of anger and the lower passions;
would stimulate an unnatural lust; would
remove us far away from the smiles Of
benignity Of our Heavenly Father, and
place us at the mercy Of the sword, as an
avenging deity TO punish the crimes of folly
and superstition; involve all the races Of
our continent in wild, indiscriminate ruin.
The chorus Of death would arouse the
slumbering grave and disturb its repo5e.
The wailing winds would mourn our hap
less fate The tears would drop down from
the weeping skies.


We are therefore willing and anxious to
act in concert and in harmony with the.
white race, and are satisfied TO be secure in
our persons and property, home and effects,
free from arrests only for crime; TO enjoy
the protection Of an impartial administra-
ton of the laws, equal an exact justice,
free from unreasonable searches and SET
zures, allowed an oath or affirmation in
civil and criminal cases to keep and bear
arms in conformity to law; enjoy all the
rights of citizenship without suffrage, and
exemption from taxation for a term Of
years.


Educating our children with our own
means, with such contributions assist
ance as an enlightened and christian civili-
zation may dictate our white brethren every
where to voluntarily contribute This
brief synopsis Of our desires we feel called
upon to make known.


Attached as we are to the soil Of our birth,
with a sacred regard for the sepulchres Of
our sires, with supernatural instinct for
locality, we nor our ancestors having ever
been nomadic people, if in the process Of
liiiAS biih tliS pAoBLtna VI GfCHLSi AAilA
Providence should appoint the Rio Grande
az the Jordon Of our hopes, and any por-
ton Of Central America as our promised
land, We will oppose no obstacle to seeming
fate, and will mingle our destiny and cast
our lot in a country where the distinctions
of caste will oppose no barrier to our set
tlement


We make no demand for impartial suf-
frage We have indicated our desires in no
partisan spirit. We will shun thi sarena Of
conflict. We will cultivate the earth with
industry. Our artisans, smiths, shoe-makers,
joiners, carpenters and mechanics of every
kind, will follow the occupations with
whicE they are familiar The body of our
people Of both people of both sexes will
do likewise, direct their labor to the pro-
ductiOn of grain, cotton, raising domestic
animals, meat for their own consumption,
poulty, vegetables, etc.

The insolubility of the problem of the
value of the labor of the negro as a freed
man" is still perplexing our agricultural
friends. Each succeeding January seems
to increase the annoyances and troubles of
those who have to depend upon the proven
bal fickIeness and unreliability Of Cufee
The negro wakes up from his Christmas Or
gies in an exceedingly bewildeTed and
irFesolute condition. The demon of change
seems to take possession of nearly all of
them. Those who worked on shares last
year desire now to be employed by the
month, and those who have heretofore been
employed as day laborers have been sud
denly seized with an irrepressible desire to
rent a few acres Of barren land, build a
cabin Of unhewn logs, and set up for them
selves In many counties no contracts for
labor for the present year have yet been
made, the negro holding off while dollar
Of last years wages or profits remains un-
spent From the conflicting reports which
reach us from all portions of the State, we
utterly fail 10 gather any uniform or prac-
teal results.


In contiguous counties, where the wages
of labor are precisely the same, the conduct
of the freedmen has been as widely differ
ent as light from darkness. Indeed, upon
contiguous plantations, this difference has
been very marked. SO far rs our personal
| experience extends, the negro has worked


more faithfully and iudustriously as a freed
man than he ever did as a slave, but this
has not been the experience Of many Of ouT
| friends, and the vexed problem Of the value
/ ofthefreedman'sl labor at the commencement
| of 1867, is as difficult Of solution as it wss


two years ago. We think it very certain


that, with some exceptions, the freedmen
! have determined to ran the gauntlet of ex
/ periments before they will consent 10 com


mence work in good earnest in the rura
| districts.

LOVE AND DRPNo The editor Of

couple from the country, alongside Of him

right before folks. Says the Neus


The lsdy's head rested lovingly upon
the shoulder of the gentleman, whilst his
arm encircled her waist, and warm and
fervent we're the kisses he imprinted upon
her glowing cheek. The lady relieved
the gentleman Of his burden, and his turn
came to recline upon her shoulder whilst
her arm was around his neck, ever and
