Uon. John B liodgers, has permitted his name io go betoretho people, at , the earnest request and solicitation uf many of the fcienatQrs and Iteproijentativcs of me tronernj Assembly, witli wbom he bas been identified during tho recent session, and whore his fidelity to the nrourossive principles of the Union Republican party has been so clearly, forcibly snd courageously enunciated, which gives unmiHtukablo evidenco to all wb,o have tho interest of our cause at heart that be is well worthy of the honor conferred upon him by hie fplr low-members of the Legislatu.rp, and that tie will prove, if electod, 4 staunch and unyielding friend to those glo rious principles upon winch our par ty is founded, and which wo sincerely and fully believe to be the bulwark of our Unjon, s perpetuity in grandeur, prosperity and Jieptiblican governi inent. We do thcruiore, in council assemblod, most heartily indorse and recommend nun to a loyal porifiut- Upnoy. Gen. John JL Rodirers emigrated from -West Virginia to East Tonnes.eo in 1812, and in February, 1814, his father settled in the county of War ren., In 1818 he entertd tpp military service in the rirst Regiment ot len- nessee Volunteers upon a call from General Jackson for volunteers for the Florida seivipp, and acquitted himself honorably as is shown by an autogtsph letter from the General himself, now in tna possession ot ben. Rodgers. ' Was prenpnted at the ex ecution of Ambrester and Arburth- noU, In 1821 he began thp eludy of law . and in lojS was licensed an at torney at law. In the summer of 1823 he was elected a Colonel of Cav alry, and jp the hitter part ot tho same year, at the reqneBt tf Ueneral Jackson, who was at that ti mo Sena tor in Congress, the Legislature by a unanimous vote elepted him Attorney General for the State of Teniie. In 1821 he commanded General La fayette's escort when in Nashville on a visit to Tennessee. In 1832 he was elected Brigadier General of the 12th Brigade. In the spring of 1836, he was unanimously electod Captain of a volunteercompany in the county pf Warren, ealled out to aid Gen. Gaines on the Texas Frontier. And in the summer of the same rear he was ap pointed a Brigadier General with the Brevet of Major Genepa) in the Texan army. In 1843-4 he served as a mem ber of the Tennessee Legislature to the entire satisfaction of his constitu ency. In 18G0 he advocated (he elec tion of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency. Gov. Brownlow will sny thp Gcn.rul was the only man in the Stale that was willing to be placed on the Lin coln Electoral ticket fur Tennessee, and for this he had to floe the coun try and leave hie home and family to the tender mercies pf a fpbel people, who, in order to demonstrsto their chivslrio forbearance, robbed them Ave times. The General was told that Andy Johnson who advocated the claims of Breckinridge, expressed a desire to have him put in cage and cmrri' d over the State, to be exhibited as a Lincoloite or Black Republican. In 1862 he v. as nominated by Mr. Lincoln and popfitmed by tho Senate as direct tax Commissioner for the District of Tennessee. Gen. Rodgers is the only old Jack son soldier known to be in office un der Mr, Lincoln or of his appointment; and tbe only Jackson soldier possess ing loysf sentiment, snd who was on ceremoniously kicked out of offit e by Andy Johnson. - And he can justly boast of being, tho compter of. Gen. Lsfsyette and Gen. Jnckson, now ha ted snd traduced by rebel . . . . . i Get- Rodger id a member of the Grand Council.of the U. L. A. for the State of Tennessee, snd has ben sp pointed s delegate to the National Council, which will assemble at Wash ington, p. O, in s few months, He was the I rat man In the State to nom inate Gen. Grant for the Presidency, Mcb he did by offering a joint reso lation to thai effeot in the State Sen ate, which was bltimtly adopted aannimously by the Stale convention. Tbe General Is an earnest Republi can, lotdinf to holy abhoreno that politloal heresy, that this Is " wbito man's government," a he n! repu diate and denounces the political fal lacy that persons, eoming from ulhei; Slat, locating smong d snd b com ing eitissns, sre entitled to no politi cal preferment, se a) tase, Itfpoble and dangetna threat at the vitol ol oar psrty and 0r proud American name. Webersiabait lis c!a!as of the General, with an earnest appeal that yon give him wigrous, earnest and active support, feeling confident that if we enter the work with zealous and willing hearts his success is a foregone conclusion, and we will have posted one other vidette upon the outposts of our national safety.' ' 1 ' ' J. B. Abmstbono, Prsident. ' i J. G. Mobles, Secretary. , , Tho MuMinnviJJe Council of colored mon.of tho U, L. A. having been re quested by the white Grand Cooncil of i his city to take action . npjon the toregoing address ; to our honorable Brotherhood in behalf of Gen. J. B. Rodgers do, in Council assembled, snd by our ananipfiou, vote indorse and approve thp same, for tbe following reasons, vis: We know Gen. Rodger to have been the friend of the slave for many years, and tbe advocate of the rights of freedmen. During the recent session of the Legislature he introduced a bill to secure promptly the reward of their labor. By the provisions of this bill any laboring man can suo bin employer the mo ment the work is done if peyin,ent Is refuted, snd the debtor cannot stay the judgment or bold sny Jtind of property exempt from execution of the laborer. The bill, at this moment, wants the concurrence of the Hoasp to a little amendment made by. the Senate, which will be done the mo ment the Legislature meets again, and then it is the law. This law will help the f rood men particularly, who should have eternal gratitude for Senator Rodgers. '.,.-,', ' Tbe Genera? also introduced a bjll to endow a polletre for the edacalion of the colored race, with one hundred thousand dollars of the land script fund given the Stsle by Congress for educational purposes. We have always found him a faithful guardian of our interests politically ftpd socially, and a steadfast friend to that truism of tho Declaration of Independence, which asserts that " all men are cre ated equal; that they are. endowed by their Creator wjth certain inalien able rights j and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In fact he cast his vote on sii occa sions for the frpodman's inlorest. In addition, we will say we have known our friend Senator Rodger since we were bore, and we declare that we know that he was always the fast friend of the colored race, and when Attorney Generaf would indict white persons for abusing their slaves; and made enemies that will out-live bim. . In conclusion, we most earnestly recommend Gon. Jobn B. Rodgers to the mon of our race and color through out the State for the position of Con gressman for the State at Uige, being well satisfied that in his success our intejests are materially subserved. STEPnEft Randle, President, Daniel Bell, Secretary. To the voters of Tenneisee : Fcllow-oititens: We r snrrOflnd- ed by incidents requiring tho unre mitting attention ot every patriot in tho land. Watchfulness is demanded of the Union men everywhere ; trea son is still rife under the garb of De mocracy. Ton well remember that Washington ant) Hamilton, j(i 1789, headed the federal Republican party. Washington appointed Thomas Jeffer son Secretary of Slate, whose envy prompted him to retain in his office a person whosp anonymous letter, abu sive of Washington, prompted the General to remonstrate with Jeffer son, who became offended with Wash ington, and resigned his Secretaryebip in 1793, declaring he would not hold an office under the government. Not withstanding, bo accepted tbe Proei denry in 1T98. ' Burr, becanso of bis hatred for Washington srd Hamilton, intrigued and eedtyert New York Iron the Fed eral Republican party. Waehington dying in 1799, tbey thorebv. secured the Presidency and Vice Presidency to Jefferson and Burr in 1800, then securing the ascendency of tho Demo cratic psrty. They fell out, and in 1805 Jefferson ascended to the Presi doner, Burr having killed Hamilton in I8U4 there was no one to oppose the sscjndency of Jefferson. Burr, in 1806, was jndioted for treason, and Jefferson, more insidious and danger- nns. instituted and sowed the seed of Democracy that here culminated in treason. Hqrr was the most impetu ous, bat Jefferson wss the moat insidi ous snd dangerous. That party is this day clamoring for power again, after desolating the fairest portion of God green SSFth with Ire and sword snd without giving the slightest evi dence of repentance or desire to rein state the country, but on the contrary devote their whole lime to lbs abase of the par1 now struggling, as best tbey can, to reinstate the coentrf, and by pulling back and obstnictipg its progress every wey possible.
