ApsIIT TENNEssEE.

The Philadelphia North american, of yes.
tcrday, has an able article in favor of the ad-
mission Of Tennessee, from which we mako the
following extracts ..r
Appointed to the post of Military Governor
Of Tennessee by the lamented Lincoln, he
acted there by advice and direction from the
great apostle Of hberty, and succeeded in
raising up the loyal element of the popula.
ton 70 so much activity and Importance as
to DO able finally to reorganize the civil gsv-
eminent by popular vote, abolish slavery,
and re-establish law and order This he did
without the necessity of calling in the aid Of
any Of the repentent rebels; and so heartily
opposed to the rebels were the dominant
Union men that they, disfranchised them all,
and have kept them so down to the present
moment. With such record, II Is indeed
very strange that q Union majority in Con-
gress should think IL duty to exclude Ten
nessee, and refuse q recognition to her loyal
State government
-
No matter how often the work of recon
struction might be gone over, no more loyal
government could ever be elected or estab-
lished in that State than now has authority
there, and as the only purpose Congress can
have in refusing recognition to any Of the
late rebellious States must necessarily be to
ensure the ascendancy Of genuine loyalty and
the protection Of popular rights. we are at a
loss 20 know how Tennessee can justly be re-
fused her place in Congress. 3d..
