SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.

Mr.. EdHor The Republican of this Sem
atoriai District will soon be called upon to
select two of their number as candidates for
the ONCE OF State Senator. 1t may be truly
amrmed that the claims of our county for

any county in the District In view of these
facts, allow me to recommend through your
columns the name of D. w. WOODS. ESQ.
as suitable person to fill that responsible,
and atthe present time vitally important trust.
As candidate he would be acceptable to the
kepub blicans of the entire district, and if
elected would make a faithful and Jealous
defender of the trne interests of our country.

The Basis of Reconstruction.

Inc OASIS u hSCOHSLTuCllOu.
The Nashville (Tennessee) Union of
a late date contains one of the best
argum ents on the restoration Of the
Union we have yet seen, and we COM
mend its sentiments to those who seem
to have but one basis and one idea in
bringing back peace. That paper
says:
The pro-slavery Unionists, very
small and rapidly diminishing party,
labor under the preposterous delusion
that when the Union shall be restored,
the slave holders will obtain all the
guarantees they desire, in addition to
all the old and cumbersome machinery
which the whole nation was formerly
put under bonds 10 run for their ex-
elusive benefit The only basis these
conservative gentlemen can see is the
protection Of the slave property of
their "Southern brethren" The peo-
pie have had quite enough Of this, and
very generally think that an institu-
ton which dema nds the possession and
direction not only of the local Govern
mcnt OF the States where it exists, but
all the other State Governments, and
the Federal Government itself, is
nuisance and imposition, and should be
abated. For it is not enough for slave
ry that it should control all the
slave States and the National Govern
ment, but every Governor, Legislature,
and Sheriff from the Ohio river to the
Canada line, and the Atlantic coast
must be an obsequious servant and
slave-catcher for the Shareholder
There never can be a restoration of
the Union on such basis as the revi-
val of the African Code 1t is idle to
talk of harmonizing on the very ground
of disunion.
1t is incomprehensible why any man
who desires a reconstruction Of the
Union, and the establishment of har-
mony between the various sections,
should select as the basis of reconstruc-
ton the very thing about which there
has been for three generations the
iercest dispute, and which at least
27.000,000 out of 30,000,000 Of the
American people, to say nothing Of all
Christendom abroad, thoroughly de-
test. Do the pro-slavery Unionists
hold slavery to be more valuable than
the Union, that they ask that the
Government shall be in future, as in
the past, the servant instead of the
master of that unpopular system?
Slavery is to be protected, by new
guarantees, if asked for, and all fugi-
tives are to be surrendered Is that
the proposition? Well we will consent
to it when Jeff. Davis gives back to the
United States her 100000 manly sons,
who have lost their lives in quelling
this heinous rebellion against free Gov
ernment. Never until then We ad-
wise our friends to be quiet on the sub
ject of slavery protection. The coun-
try has had little too much of it
already. The day for such protection
is past; we have paid heavy price in
blood for that sort of work already, and
do not care to repeat the exhausting
process.
There is one broad, elevated basis

OF restoration. which is as strong as
adamant and on which the people may
all securely stand. 1t is the principle
which underlies our Government and
all Its Institutions That principle is
FREEDOM. Everybody admits that
freedom is right as Il principle, and
nearly everybody admits that slavery
Is wrong as aprinciple Now freedom
and slavery are. the warning elements
which nave brought about this con-
test. Each is struggling for the mas
terry. Which shall we take as the
basis OF harmony and restoration; the
princIple which every body approves,
or the principle which hardly ANYBODY
approves! Shall we adopt the method
OF an ollgarchy, and let slavery rule. or
shall we adopt the method of democ-
raey, and let the majority rule? Shall
the many yield to the few, or the few
to the many? Whose interests. tastes
and prejudices, are to be consulted
those of 100000 persons. or those Of
100000? 1t is not in the nature Of
slavery to be at peace with anything.
1t IS like the pike which is said to de.
YOUR all other ishes. Suppose slavery
DC feinstated in its old authority. what
then! Will we have peace or war, in
consequence? Let US take Tennessee
for an example. A restoration of the
State on the slavery basis would in.
stantly revive an ultra proslavery
party throughout the Middle and Wes-
tern Divisions. No candidate conld
De elected, or appointed to any Office,
VINO was not intensely pro slavery.
Slavery would be the only topic dis
cuSSed IN the newspapers, or upon the
stump. The odious laws of the old
slave code, the more summary rules of
udge Lynch, would be enforced
against every writer or speaker who
should venture or question the Justice
or poilcy of slavery. 1t is also GER
tain that every man who supported
the present republican administration,
either directly or Indirectly, in a civil
or military capacity, would be forever
excluded from all positions of trust
and profit by the slavery faction.
Now, does any sensible loyal man
desire to see Tennessee restored to tbe
Union In any such way as this. in
which the elements of discord are all
increased, and their fury aggravated
instead of being lessened? One might
as We'll try to cure a patient of raging
fever by making him drink boiling
water, and hold red hot iron. The lust
OF power, the thirst for gain, the dis
trust OF all interests except its own,
and It's consequent efforts to monopo-
lze all political power, would grow
out OF slavery in future, just as they
lid before, and would in a brief space
engender another rebellion, more dan.
5erous, because better planned, than
the present one. We see but one safe
basis Of restoration. 1t is the basis of
