The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1864-03-17

Our readers viii recollect the late
dead lock in the Pennsylvania Senate,
There were II Union, and l6 Copper
head members but oneof the former
Major white-vas a prisoner in Rich
mond; and JEFF Davis refused all oyer
lures for his release; and the Copper
heads took advantage Of this action Of
their friend, and refused to allow the
Senate to be organized, though several
important measures-anong them the
soldiers voting law-were pending. 1t
was nice little game JEFF kept the
member who held the balance of pow
er, and thus aided the CoppeEheads,
and the latter employed the dead lock
TO assist the rebels But the game
failed to win Major White managed
to get his resignation into the hands of
the Governor, and a Union man was
elected IN his place; and no sooner did
the news of this reach Richmond, than
JEFF Davis released him; it was of no
service to keep him longer Do these
facts need any comment2

altogether; and those who cast their
ballots for one, viii rest assured that if
the man of their selection is beaten,
the principle he represents is safe.
Assn evidence that all the democrats
except few destruetionists are pre-
pared for a change Of base, and the
support Of a radical, we copy the fol-
lowing extract from the Newburyport
/ Mass Herald, the eldest democratic
paper in the State, and one which has
never wayered from the support Of the
regular ticket" it says:
In all the Presidential calculations thus
far we have seen no such reference to Cen
eral Banks, as indicated that his name would
be used in either convention; and still we
doubt If there Is more available candidate
in the whole country, nor is there one who
for the settlement of the difficulties now
dividing the country could be more useful.
The position Of the country is
now such that General Banks might pro-
perry be taken by either party and we
think hewould be sure OF an election which
ever took him. He is an
ti-slayery-not with Garrison and Wendell
him as a hypoerite and traitor.
Standing where he does, as moderate
anti-slayery man and conservative in
politics, he should DE most acceptable TO the
friends Of Mr.. Lincoln, who is no more hon
est as q man, nor half as able as a statesman.
Banks is the man to compromise on. The
abolitionists would not support him, ana
that would make him stronger than though
they did. On the other side, if the war
l. -
nomination, there is 10 man that they could
50 well take. . He would
secure the support Of the conservative men
Of the whole country; and nowhere would
he be more acceptable than with the Union
men Of the South.
If the party is prepared to support
Gen Banks, it will not be long in going
over to Fremont, in case that gentle
man is Judged more available than his
rivals. Politics makes strange bed
fellows and never will we find this re
mark more applicable than at the pres
ent time.
Having performed our part as chron-
iclers Of events, we drop the Presiden-
tial question, till more material for the
elucidation of the subject is furnished
We shall, however, gladly hail the era
when voters will be compelled to choose
between two such sterling patriots, and
devoted friends of freedom, as Presi-
dent Lincoln and Gen. Fremont. 1t
viii be the dawning of political mil
lannium.

Electlon IN East Tennessee.

We clip the following from the Knox
vile Wing of the 18th, relative to the
election in East Tennessee. Parson
Brownlow is not in favor of too much
swearing:
THE OATH.-Our East Tennessee people
have way of their own in many things.
In the election Of last Saturday they did
pretty much as they pleased-exeept to vio-
late the Constitution and laws of the State.
In several places we have heard from
where the Union sentiment was cverwhelm-
ing toO-the judges and people required
and took no oath but that prescribed by the
old Code of Tennessee. The people have
an idea, some how or other, that the Union
men Of East Tennessee have given sufficient
evidence Of loyalty without the additional
sanction of test oath, no matter by what
military official prescribed.
THE ELECTION on SATURDAY LAsT.-The
votes cast in this county on Saturday last
amounted to about thirteen hundred against
about thirty-three hundred in times of peace.
Of course an allowance of many hundred
voters is to be made on account of the men
in the National army, and several hundred
on account of the rebels whoare in the South.
These causes, however, are not sufficient TO
account for the small number Of votes. We
think the rebels generally kept away from
the polls. There were good many unfalter-
ing Union men who did not vote because they
did not like TO take the oath of Gov. John
son, not that they objected to anythingin the
oath, but because they were required To take
any kind of an oath before voting. They
insisted that their record was a spotless one
politically, and that the taking an oath of
loyalty implied suspicion if not something
more, and placed them on the same level
with rebels. Hence many true men refused
to vote, and many who took the oath, took
it under protest. We merely give the fact

KentnckE Speaking Out.

Despite the violent course of some
leading Kentuckians, and the persis-
tent denial by the public journals of
the State, that there exist an anti
slavery party in that Commonwealth
we see abundant evidence that the
people are becoming aroused; and that
the course Of their liberal representa-
tiYes will be sustained, and that of the
copperheads condemned.
Meetings are being held in various
sections Of the State, and views which
would satisfy the most fastidious pa
triot are officially promulgated. When
the next election comes off, the radicals
viii doubtless poll from 10000 to 10000
votes and none are so blind as to fail
to perceive that with such leaven the
lump viii be quickly permeated
The change going on is as rapid and
decided as that which has taken place
in Missouri; it commenced later, but is
progressing as fast, and as certainly.
On the 7th inst a meeting was held
at Mount Vernon, Rockcastle county,
which was attended by the most inhu-
entail men in the mountain districts, at
which the following resolutions were
passed
Whereas, much has been said in the pub
lie journals in regard TO the course pursued
and the votes cast BY our representative in
Congress, therefore be it
/. ReSolUed, That we the people of Rock
castle county, in mass meeting assembled,
do most cordially and heartily approve and
endorse the course pursued and the votes
cast up TO this time in Congress by our wor-
thy Representative, Hon. w. H. Randall,
and if he shall continue the good work be-
gun and prosecuted thus far, he may be as
sured that when he returns to give an ac-
count Of his stewardship his loyal eonstitu-
ents everywhere throughout his district viii
say well done, thou good and faithful SER
want.
2. ResolUed, That we are opposed 10 any
man or set of men, who do or may affiliate
with the Vallandig CHAM Fernando Wood
party, or peace Democracy, and that we
scorn such utilization.
3. Resolved, That we are for giving all
and every aid and assistance 20 the consti-
tuted authorities of the Government to sup
press and annihilate the present causeless
and wicked rebellion.
4. Resolucd, That we heartily indorse the
course and actions of our esteemed Senator,
NJ. J. Cook, and Representative VIM. A.
Brooks, in the last Legislature of Ken
lucky.
All the parties endorsed are radical;
are, to use an old term-abolitionists

Under the excellent military admin
istration Of Gen. Rousseau, confidence
IS being restored in Tennessee, and the
farmers are preparing to raise large
crops of corn and oats. This is evidence
Of the confidence Of the people, not
only in the General, but in the cause he
represents, and to which he is devoting
himself, and his talents with unparal-
leled assiduity. They have no fears
that the fruit of their labor will be
gathered by an army of the rebels
Gen. Grant has settled that; and they
apprehend nothing from guorrillas and
marauders-Gen. Rousseau has driven
them from the State.
