The Tennessee Elections

Among the more fragrant assumptions of
power by Lincoln, is that of ordering elections
to be held in portions of the State of Tennes-
see, under the direction of naval and military
officers. BY what pretense this order is is
sued, no man can divine, save the necessity
of getting voters in Congress to meet and
overcome the votes of delegates from the
loyal States. We have learned, by many
painful lesson, that the doctrine of necessity
is applied without limit as to object or man.
ner. ta'
1t is fundamental principle of the party
in power, representing indeed but one-third
of the voters at the Presidential Election, bu,
still in the place of power, to follow out the
doctrine of expediency-t the higher law-and
what SO forcibe plea as necessity ? The OBJ
jcct supreme-the means of attaining it secon-
dairy, and never important enough to be re-
garded as an obstacle.
Members of Congress are necessary, in or
der to the support of the Abolition party, and
where are they to be got? The British Con-
stitution provides for that necessity, in the
power of the monarch to create Peers mem
bers of the House of Lords.
The Constitution of the United States does
not. Still necessity calls, and the expedient
is found mandate is issued to the Military
and Naval officers the civil power is a mere
shame to order elections in the portions of
Tennessee where they held possession, and to
see that none are elected but, lst, gentleman.
2nd, who will swear to support the Constitution
Of old, not our prese mt arbitrary Govern
ment, that is an after matter; and, Sd, who
will not be suspected of dupicity, in failing
to do that which they are employed to do.
Surely, Lincoln does not want anybody in
Congress who will support t'the Constitution,
as of old there will be too many of that kind
there already. Why 90 to the conquered
districts of Tennessee for more of them?
This is indeed one of the fearful conse-
quences of having political power in the hands
of men who hold that they have s'higher
law" rule of conscience, above the law of
GoD or man. As well might Lincoln order
elections under the military and naval Off
GERS, with the host of Provost Marshals IN
pennsylvania, whose duty it should be to
have elected gentlemen who will swear TO
any thing and do as they are bid. There is
not shadow, or even pretence, of Consti-
tutional power for such an act.
At Roman Emperor constituted his horse
Consul, with Senatorial rank. 1t was absurd
but it was honest.

"Would you like to go shopping this
morning 2" ...
1t was Miss Chaloner who asked the ques-
ton" Gertrude the magnificent" as her
worshppers called her, with more truth in
their epithets than there usually is in the
compliments paid to handsome women
Gertrude Chaloner was self-poised to re-
markable degree. No worlds judgment, no
human opinion, had power to lay out foot
path for her imperious feet. What she had
will to she did, and of small import was
any other moftal's nlly. So far, this cir
cumstance bad not hurt her popularity, for
she had only willed to be the most accom-
plished, the most. intellectual, and the best
dressed woman of her set. So, never think
ing of fashion, per Sc, she became leader Of
it. A few knew, however, that it wanted
only the true electric spark to quicken that
grand nature into something nobler than any
of her past dreams Meantime her powers,
unconsciously to herself waited, as the offer
ngs used to wait upon the altar for the spark
of celestial fire which was to make of them
sweet incense for heaven.
OF course not every one knew this. Most
people supposed that she was In her proper
sphere now, and would never have thought
of associating her with self-denial or self-sac-
rifce.
She sat-this clear, bright autumn morn
ing-in her own room, which was shared,
inst then, with guest who came the daybe-
(ore-her cousin Nan from Philidelpia. The
pair were complete contrast, and therefore
polArized admirably. Miss Chaloner was
tall and stately, with dark hair and gray
eyes, out Of which the waiting soul looked
honest, earnest and trustfuI. Her lips, ex-
ccpt when she smiled, were thought too thin ;

she were at home. Then she asked, "

night, and it did me good.-Mother has gone

"You always are. 1t reproaches me some
times to think of it," Miss Chaloner said
kindly. How long is it since you have
been able to stand on your feet 4'' r.

Miss ChaloDer's eyes grew misty, but she
went on in tone, of encouragement.

of you, on the wall, Martha and perhaps it
will comfort you sometimes when you are

She unfolded the wrappings from the pic
tnre and held it before the sick CIR, Martha

but it shone in her eyes and transfgured her
face as she looked. BY aud by her tears began

6 The best Of all % Nan cried with eager
tones. Oh, Gertrude isn't she lovely So
refined SO gentle" ...-.s 1853
"And so patient" Gertrude added-"What
she suffers no one dreams-nights and days
of racking agony--and yet busy every mo
mcnt when the sharp torture leaves her res
pite. If had made ten times more sacrifices
for the sake of doing good, to have known
that girl and learned the lesson of unfaltering
trust, of patient submission she has taught
me, would have been worth it all.'
Nan staid in Boston three weeks longer
She went with Miss Chaloner to buy the rest
of her winter things and when she left at
last, it was with new purpose in her eager
impulsire. but kindly heart. Last week she
wrote to Gertrude Chaloner:
1, too, have been shopping since saw you.
Hitherto had shopped only for one. Now
am shopping for many, and the reward is
proportionally larger. do all can-yes,
Gertrude, l do believe am doing all l can
for those whose sufferings you taught me to
discover.-Sometime perhaps, l shall be good
enough to be called your friend. I, too have
sent one away to fight for me whom hitherto
my selfish love held back. My Offering like
yours is on the altar. Come to me and teach
me how to apdit."
How long will these women, and many
more besides them, have in which to learn
that long, slow lesson? With what grand re-
suit, to them, to all, will the waiting be
crowned at leng'h2 God knows.
