THE NEW SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE
The telegraph apprises US that Andrew Johnson
Democrat, has been elected TO the United States
Senate from Tennessee, to succeed James C. Jones.
Mr. johnson IS IN many respects, most remark
bic man. and his career is wesl worthy to be held I'D
before the youth Of the land Il shows what can be
accomplished by energy and indomitable industry,
IN surmOuntIng what were apparently the most tor
mdaule obstacles IN the path that leads to honorable
fame and worldly success.
Andrew johnson was born of humble parentage
and Sc inadequate the opportunities he enioyed
that was not until after he twentyOne years of
age that he learned to read and wrteh his wife being his
instructor in those essential rudiments OF education
de tailor oy Irade which avOcatIOn he follow
Ell in East Tennessee. Possessing naturally the
finest Abilities he set seriously TO work TO give them
polish and cultivation, instead of quietly folding his
hands and aqulescIng in his condition, which would
have been the dicaon Ofindolenee and sluggishness
but those qualities formed part Of his character
In afew years the self educated administrations young
man began to reap the fruit of his toll and to be
known as a man OF note and mark in his section of
the country.
His sympathies and convictions were with the
Democratic party, as might naturally be expected
in the struggle which 1t then making against the
m9neyed power, aud they recognized ms talents by
electng MIN to the Legislature. From thence he
was transferred the greater of the National
Capital at Washington, where he continued for ten
wears In that body he took high rank as an able
and practical statesman. de was ready and quick
in debate and was industrious and efficient
legislator. From Congress he was recalled home
and made Governor. lie was elected over one OF the
most eloquent Wings in the State-Gustavus A. Hen
ry-in 1858, although it had given its Presidential
for General Scott the year previous by several
thousand majority. In 1856 he was reelected over
Mr.. Gentry, who was considered the best speaker
his party had in the State. Mr. Gentry ran as
know-Nothing, when that organization was II the
full tide of its success and felt of being chosen
Mr.. johnson made most brilliant canvass, and by
his formidable onslaughts upon the order efectusy
stayed its march, when it threatened to overrun the
State.
Tennessee under, Mr.. Johnson's administration.
became permanently Democratic and in the judgment
OF ms friends, contributed to the result.
Hence his election to the United States Senate, the

PUBLIC OPINION IN REGARD TO THE CUR

PUBLIC OPINION IN REGARD TO THE CUR
RENCY.
The observer of events cannot fail to perceive
that great improvement in public opinion in this
country, on the subject of the currency, has been
manifested since the advent of the Panic and Pres
sure, that has periodically avenged expansion in
banking and extension" in commerce. tits apparent
that men are no longer led, or rather misled, by
mere names. Time and experience have given
principles and expediency a fair field and trial.
and principle has won the guerdon. For instance
the slogan Of party warfare and personal interest
against the Independent Treasury, as procuring a
currency Of I" rags for the people" and another of
''gold and silver for the Office holders is heard no
more. The practical benefits of that wise measure
of precautionary craftsmanship are admitted with
gratitude and from this triumph have resulted re-
Elections, less important only because they have not
yet assumed shape and action. The success of the
principle OF keeping the Government revenues out
Of the banks, as a sacred fund.- reserved and set
apart for the general good and held aloof from the
vicissitudes Of speculation, inspires other thoughts
on the all-important subject of Currency. There
must be something in this idea of hard money,
after all; and when we behold the vast machine OF
banking breaking down under its own weight. and
the simple scheme of Independent Treasury stand
ing uuhurt amid the wreck, we are very ready to
accept those suggestions, regard to currency so
long and so pertinaciousIyurged by the Democrat
l. party. Hence 1t is that banks, as at present
constituted, are no longer surrounded with the
odor of sanCtity. Hence that the suggestion to re-
form these banks alOgetheris no longer regarded
agrarian and destructive, butratheras reasonable
and right. Hence suspension, at least on one
occasion heretofore, is welcomed as a boom
but rather a bankruptcy. Hence the popularity
of those recently rejected doctrines that credit and
dobt not the true basis of a circulating medium
Parties may be unjust; but individuals cannot
always resist the truth; and it is no uncommon
thing nova days, to find men who were, years ago,
the leaders and the defenders ofthe banking system
at this day demanding investigation publicity, and
complete reform. We fix these thinge as they fit
before us, that the public mind may receive the
Impressions in time.-PaiIadeLphia Press.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1857-10-18

1924 OOO, 600
This amount is equal, we suppose, to the entire
circulating medium of all the States. The chances
are that the product of Gold will more than keep
pace with the other industrial interests of the coun
try.
1t is matter worthy Of reAection-and shows
what gross our people have run into upon
this subject-that, notwithstanding we furnish the
world with moreOf the precious metal than any other
country, We have more mixed currency, larger
amount Of paper circulation in proportion to the
metal, than any other government on the globe.
Of all the countries which have had a mixed cur
rency, France from l8O9 when the Bank of France
established, up 184s, Csnce that time it has
been changed, had the most uniform and safe-the
smallest proportion OF credit money. Its general
average from 1909 to 1885, according to official
Statements 20 dollars in specie to "A in bills
Orfve sixths Ofits currency value money, making
an average arbitration of only one-sixth. England
has currency more fuctuating than vas that of
France. Scotland more fuctuating than England
That of the United States more luctuatng than any
other country in the world, because the proportion
of our paper issue to the specie capital of banks
is greater than any other. Hence the ruinOus ex-
pansicns and cOntractiOns of circulating medium
are greater.
We have seen it asserted and do not doubt the
authority because perfectly consistent with the
foregoing facts, thar the comparative bankruptcies
among business men in different countries named
was as follows: In France 10 out of every 100 /;
England IS out of every 100; Scotland 60 out of
every 1905 United States so out of every 100.
When men take into consideration such facts as
these, they longer question the prOpriety Of
reducing the shin-plaster currency of the country
and giving place to something nearer specie basis
This is the only mode Of reforming the financial
morals Of our people aud protecting them from the
disasters OF these periodical swIndles.

HON. BEVERLY L. CLARK, OF KENTUCKY

HON. BEVERLY L. CLARK, OF KENTUCKY.
An enthusiastic admirer Of this distinguished
Kentuckiau has written US a communication urging
his election to The United States Senate by the Legs
lature of that State. Our friend would have done
better to have sent his communication to a Kentucky
paper, yet it refers to gentleman very much es
teemed by large circle Of personal friends in Ten
nessee, we give place to a portion of it. After
speaking in the highest praise of the excellent quail
titles Of GUTHRIE, BOYD, and others, mentioned in
connection with the place of Senator he proceeds to
say:
But the claims Of none of these gentlemen are
equal to those of BEVERLY L. CLARK. He is not
surpassed by any one of them in all those qualities
that constitute the true gentleman and hgh-tOned
sefsacrifcing patriot. He has been called upon by
his political friends to lead more fororn hopes than
perhaps any man in the United States. He has
been no holiday politician, but has always accepted
these places with cheerfulness and evinced the
highest talent and the most indefatigable energy.
He has worked without the cheering prospect of re-
ward which inspires most of politicians content to
dOhi duty. Once only, by oyerleapi1gtle expec
taton of friends aud foes, he broke down large
Congress. He was likewise elected to the State
Constitutional Convention, where he showed himself
a true peoples man. His services in the various
campaigns and especially in that Of 1855, as the
Democratic candidate for Governor, entitle him to
the place But in addition to considerations of this
character, there many other reasons favoring
his election. Among these ofthe most prominent
is that South Kentucky is entitled to the Senator.
The Lexington country now has the Vice President.
The Louisville section has recently had the Secre
tary Of the Treasury, while the southern portion of
the State has had but the scantiest ptance of the
honors or emouments Of party. A party to main
tain its strength should forget be just to its
own members. Aside from al claims few men
would represent the State with such service to the
people aud credit to himself In honoring the nan,
Kentucky will honor herself JUSTICE.
