low, of Tennessee, to Hon. W. D. Kel
ly, of the:loWer):lOlise of borikreSs; un-'
der date of March 8, 1866:
"Dear ,Sir :—Enclosed I send you a
. copy of my proclamation, - -from which
you will learn that a faction of twenty
one disorganizers have, in the- true spirit
of the late-iniquitotistrebellion, with
. drawn, and reduced our House Rep
resentatives -below -a. quorum. I need.
not add further reniarks,as. the proela
mationfully discusses the points at issue.
On Friday last the election of county
officers took place throughout the State,
such as clerks; sherlffs t - justices, trustees
and tax collectors; and in Middle and
West Tennessee the rebels have made a
clean sweep, turning the nion men out
and electing their own Candidates, who.
electioneered -for -office on the ground
that they -Were rebels, and bad either
served in the-rebel army or-in some
other capacity given- their influence to
the cause of TREASON and traitors.
When Richmond fell and Lee surren
dered, rebels , and many who sympa
• thized with them were •very respectful
to Union men, -often obsequious : guilty
culprits, they evidently feared arrest
and punishment; and felt that .to be let
alone and allowed to live was all they.
had a right to expect. But, since par
dons have been so multiplied, and no
roan has been punished; they have eve
rywhere become impudent and defiant,
until, ihmest -counties in Middle and
West Tennessee, it •is . disreputable to
have been a , Unidn man, or, as a South
ern man, to have served in the Union
army. And matters are growing worse;
the reconstructed traitors, openly -curs-,
fag loyal men, and threatening that
they have the President on their side,
while we ail feel that the President's
policy is ruinous-to us.
When I-put tbe President in nomina
tion at Baltimore for the Vice Presiden
cy, I felt that he had so thoroughly com
mitted hiniselt to•the Union cause, and
had been so badly treated by the rebels,
it was impossible for' him ever to get
round to them 'aeain ;—but I give him
• up as lost to the Union party, audits the
man who is to head the rebels and Dem
ocrats. Every rebel in all this country,
• every M'Clellan man, and every ex
guerilla chief, are loud and enthusiastic
in praise of the President. The men
who, but a few months since, were curs:,
' ing him for an Abolitionist and. traitor,
and wishing him executed, are now for
, executing all who dare, to oppose his
policy, or . even doubt its success.
There is twice the amount of bitter=
ness and - intolerance in the South, to
day, toward the Union and everything
Northern,-than there-was at the tinie,oX
Lee's surrender. Abuse of ' Union men,
of the radicals in congress,.and. self-as
sumed superiority on the part of the'
southern chivalry, have arisen to such
, a hight that loyal men cannot travel on
a steamboat or in a railrocuicar without
' being insulted. As it was .during the
war, so it is how ; all concessions from
the North, or from the majority in Con
gress, are regarded as evidences of fear ;
all the old rebel papers of 1861, and ma
ey new ones, are in full blast, threaten=
ing Congress and the North with ulti-,
mate vengeance, and boasting of. South
ern prowess. The most popular men in
' the largest portion of Tennessee, to-day,
arc the-men-most distinguished for their
hostility to the North, and what they
are pleased to call - the " Radical Con
gress" and they are the class - of wen
who are-selected OM offices, as the late
county- elections show.: The same is
true of the entire South, onty more ,so
In a word, they are resolved on break
ing up the Government, an,4l they ex
pect to carry out their schemes through
the ballot-box; and how, men of candor
and intelligence can represent them as
loyal and kindly-disposed, is a mystery
to me, even in this age of rebellion and
treachery.. Ido not understand them ;
and my opportunities for learning their
temper and ultimate purposes, are. as
good as those of most men.
Why, sir, many of them are expect
ing the President to disperse Congress
with the bayonet, as Cromwell dispersed
the Long • Parliament. The Southern
heart is rapidly being fired to deeds of
war ; and all this, and more,- as I be
lieve, has been occasioned I by the mis
takes of the-President. •
His iolan- of trusting rebels with, their
State Government, has had au efßict ex
actly the opposite of what he intended.
It has ruined the pirospects of the J..7niou
men, and they feel that there is no safety
for them, , unless Congress shall choose
to protect them. Even three days ago
Gen. Thomas .had to send, troops into
Marshall county, some sixty miles dis
tant , to protect loyal men and freedmen,
who were teeing for safety and coming
to. this .city.
So far asl ant individually eoneerited,
the intemperate abuse of rebels, the de
nunciation and blackguardism of their.
reconstructed jounaals,the thxeats of per
sonal violence from their amnestied pa
triots, and- the anonymous letters of
cowards threatening my assassination,
all fall harmless atmy feet. No earthly
power can driveme from the support of
the men and the party who fought the
battles of the late war and put down the
rebellion.

and the hope of a pleasant future,

VETO - NUMBER TWO.
The'Rresident has vetoed the Civil
Rights )3111, the chief "features e' Which
we Published last week. ' 4
We make the ,announckineat ivith
sharp regret, but without a grain of, bit
terness, and not , with disappointment ;
for the course
, i i pt s 'the =President during
the last two nionths almost forbade -a

Still,we did hopelfor better things - .
'We 'hoped that -hiig,objections•might lie

'And we'hoped the President might
the measure in the light of his of
ten and solemn pledges to the American
people, that loyalty should receive en
couragement and protection, and that
treason should, be condignly punished.
He dia not so consider it. Though he
redites lit length • his reasons:for reject
ing the Measure, his first ollectislm:cov
ere the w.hole ground ; for the second
time he informs the Representatives of
the 'people that he will not approve of
any measurefaffecting the rebel States,
until Congiess, shall admit the,iepre:-
sentatives of, those - States, stained with.
the blood of tens of thousands of Union
men, to - seats - in the National - Legisla
ture. „
- This: is r plaixtly, an attempt to usurp
the ,constitutional prdrogative of Con
greSs by the E*.ecutive.
The Constitution-expressly declares
that Congress shall ibeliole judge of the
qualifications of its members.
SO the issue between the President
and Congress is 'just ,this : Shall two
hundred legislators, each the peer of
the President, waive their constitution
al prerogative and' conform to the
fined policy of an Executive who ex
hibits a cleverness at violating pledges
unprecedented in history or, shall.
these two hundred representatives; freSh
from the people; exercise their sacred
rreroginfive, I.44i.lee,ide'once and for all
the manner in„which, and .the ,time
'when
• the "seceded States shall resuine
their lost standing in the Makin? •-
That is the, question, divested oT, the
tinselry and clap-trap of demagogisto,
and considered entirely apart froti the
craft,ideceit, and Specious lies of trea
son and its sympathizers; the question
as frankly stated by the President 'him
self in his two veto messages ; and the
question* it must be met by the peo
ple. . ,
Are you ready for the question? •
To that we respond, for one, that we

construction. of llietnion is older'tfirin

nation with tire and steel; and woo will
one day sift the -men of this day, and
will scatter the filse, the weak; and the
time-serving like chaff from the win

Dower's fan..
Under this Irresistible Power, justice
. to all men, . whether of high or low de
gree, will be,establiShed - in 'this repub

or of him who reads this, then inkiod's

backward, be he President' or himble
citizen, will 1?e cast into the stall ss ob
livion of Folly. - •
The Civil Rights Bill proposed to dis
lpelnse equal julatice to all Merv; and it
was framed with eipecial: reference to
the oft-repeated asseverations of the
President • •that all a loyal men; .without
distinction; 'should be fully protected.
'So unaniiriom. Vas the feeling in fa
t.o of this measure that it passed the
Senate by more than. a two-thirds ma
jority, and received a still larger major
ity in the House. Even the New York
Efeer t atd declaxed that the measure ; Wrai
unobjectionable.
It was vetoed. The - President re-de
clares his intention to force Congress to
adopt what he calls " my policy" of re
construction. ,
We unite in the deinand ulxm•Con

The Government of the United 'States
1 solenanlY pledged to protect these
freedmen., Notto do it is to break . faith
with them, and with the Almighty,
and to invite judgments -more terrible
than those which have desolated every
loyal heart And hearth in ;the North?
Let us look at the persistent demand
of the President for the • immediate ad
mission of the rebel States, in the light
of testimony from those States
,them-'
selves. First, then, we direct attention
to the letter of 'Gov. 33rownlow; , of-Ten

e itartle the land, and the ralling of men
to uphold the Onvernment against Un-,
.repentant . , traitors; would drown the
horn of induatry as it tild'in 1801.
We'commend Gov. Biownlow's letter
to every douliting.min. Read it. It is
from the pen of one who lives in the
Midst Of perils, and whose integrity
ehallenges the achiairation . of- the -loyal

lie Copperhead:papers are calling,
upon Pre'sldent Johnson to disperse the
Congreis now ; - * l e • Washington
and recognize the outside -delegation
from the rebel States as the legitimate,
Congress. Unfortunately for that party .
and for truants generally, but happily
for the country, the President will not
attempt to .overthrow Congress. He
will not do it for two reasons,• one of
which will suffice; and that is, he can
not do it. He is not equal to the Crom

Hon. HENRY S. RAYMOND, editor of
the New York Times and member of
Congress, remarked after the• death of
'Mr. Lincoln: "We are sold. But it
is best to follow the President."
We object in the phrase "sold." The
people cannot be .sold,, or bought, like
chattels, nor will they acquiesce in any
Presidential "sell." They will not
follow any' man, as such; 'but when
.men prove_recreant to trust reposed .in
them, the people will follow principles
and leave "men') to elect Whetherthey
will serve God or the devil.
We are waiting to hear the guns of
rejoicing fixun ~the . 9opperheads over
the New Hampshire 'election. They
claim it ate victory for the President
over the, radleall. Why don't you re-'
joie& then?: Why not run np the 84
and have an old-fashioned . !`demo,cratic
drunk?" •
There will be just such another vic
tory , Pennsylvania next October.—
And all the ganstwill be fired by repub
licans, as in the case of New Hamp
shire.
Genius is said to be. 'eccentric. The
editor of 'paper befOre us is eccentric,
iheiefore a genius, The logic of this is
as good ss.that .w.hich he employs. He
says that the Republicans crowover the ,
victory in NOV' Hampshire, when no. ,
body expected New Hampshire to go
otherwise; and that all the Republican
victories are off the same piece. Upon
the:heels of this he goes into ecstatic
convulsions over the election of a Cop
perhead Mayor in Harrisburg. §ince :
when has Harrisburg elected-any other
than a Copperhead Mayor? • • ,
According to the logic employed by
Andrew Johnson, there is but one man
in the republic at this tiniewho has any
right to act as President of the United
States. That man is LAFAYETTE S.
S. FOSTER, Vice President by virtue of
his office of president of the:Seinite.—
Andrew Johnson did not receive a vote
in any one of the eleven States whose
rights are, to him, paramount to the
rights of theloYA.l twenty - -five remain
ing. If Andrew Johnson would -con
vince any reasonable maaof his hones
ty, he can do it by' retiring .from the po
sition which, according'to his • own rea
soning, he has usurped, and bOldshyan,

its editors. Among the Southern sup
porters of President Johnson's policy,
none are more earnest and uncompro

course took an energetic part in the ori:
ginal attack upon Fort Sumter. Their
essays upon the Subject of reconstruc

,patri

they happen upon expressions which
sound rather Strangely to ears in which
the reverberations of those'first guns of
the war have not yet quite died away.
For instance :
" Should the captious, peevish, disor
ganizing and,wicked spirit still prevail
arneug the destructives, so as to defeat
virtually what the President has done,
so well and • so' rapidly, for the restora

upon their own heads. There is still a
people! And common' sense and cern
/non feeling', hi say nothineof common
necessity, will prevail over that which
sees in the business of national repre

party and the natural desire of the self
ish mind to keep itself in power, though
at the expense of the best interest, tine
peace, and final safety of the . nation.—
There is still a people! and these, tho'
dreadfully demoralized, are not yet so
