Good gracious ! What an awful people we are.

These little kingdoms that a man eometinaee aeea from the top of a mountain are mighty demoralizing. . Hut I notice that all thia fuee which Joytph haa kicked up ie confined to the town and cities, wliara a heap of folk* lire, who harant got ntueh of anything to do. The farmers don't know much abojt it aed care leu; the rrfcoh concern i* a Ood aend to aome folk*.

Nobody know* what they went do, or when they will quit doing it,'and my advice ia to tuffer and be ttroitg, endure everything and accept nothing. .All ia loat aave honor; hold up your manhood, don't lick the baud that'e raiaed to strike the blow. Joe Browg'a banner aaya "all ia loat aave honor, and that is only tolerable 1 thank you, it growa puny and weak." ileaaya we can,have representation in Congress. 1 Who by t A man who ean take the teat oath and control the nigger vote ? Who wants such a renreaentation I !!? ? long bsfore he would jinn the Radicals and go io for confiscation. If he eon trolled the nigger vote he'd promise 'am lend or anyth:Rg else. Demagogues have always controlled the ignorant whites, demagogues will control the ignorant black*. Who controls the nigger influ ence in Tennessee f why, Brownlow and his psrty. Tennessee has done just what Joe Brown wants us to do, and now look at her and weep!?a nigger candidate running for Governor. But suppose we had representation, and elected all good men, fair men, just men, what could they do for ue f Just nothing at all. With the present Kadi Cal majority all our votes wouldn't undo anything that has been done, and with a Radical President they could do as much more as the* plea*ed. Just let 'em all alone, give 'em rope, more rope; history it repealing itaelf, ihe critit will come tome lime, lyrannv end oppression muii run iit courts, Joe Brown'* programme wont lop it. One of hi* resolutions maila mv heed ?wim ; ! felt like inking chloroform, lie would make the whole Yankee nnlion believe we loved 'em like brother*, and wanted 'em to com* out South and let ut hug 'em. Well, all that aort ofatpflf ia > played out. There aint-a hundred men in the Slate that hae any mora reaped for a ftadieal than a hyena, and'Joe Brown know* it. But the good Lord know* our heart*, and how fondly w? ellng to thoae inoderala men of the mighty North jeho woul^ tare ue from the humiliation that awaita ut.
