THE NASHVILLE ELECTION.

We might be inclined to discredit
the news from Nashville, had not our
experience of late taught US to discredit
nothing. We might be startled, had not
multiplied usurpations of authority and
acts of despotism benumbed our sensi-
tiveuess to anything of the kind. We
had hoped that Brownlow, in his effort to
manipulate local affairs as he had those Of
the State at large, regardless of the Con-
stitution and the inviolability of vested
rights Hereunder, would be intercepted
by the national authority, exercised
through the President and Gen. Grant,
but we have been signally disappointed,
and should perhaps have known better
than to have hoped for anything Of the
kind. The specific instructions to Gen.
Thomas from Washington, to the effect
that the military should confne their
action to preventing or putting down
hostile mobs," but should in no event
set themselves up to be the judges as to
which set of election judges should have
the right to control, were of so clear
and unmistakable purport, and couched
in terms so thoroughly imbued with but
one meaning aud intent that we rested
upon the hope that Thomas would, of
necessity, be compelled to keep hands
of" and only stand by as the guardian
of peace, good order and the law. Could
any other inference have been drawn
from the facts as presented How, then,
are we to account for Thomas taking
sides with Brownlow, and thereby
stamping with the Endorsement Of the
Government and the sanction Of johnson
and Grant this latest and most infa-
nous disregard for and overriding of our
organic laws. We are curious to gain
further light upon the subject. Until
then, il can in our opinion admit Of but
this solution. Either Thomas conduct
was entirely outside Of and in utter dis
regard Of his orders and the behests OF
his superiors, or else be must have re-
ceived further and additional instruc.
tons from Washington, Of which the
public have not as yet been made
cognizant. In the event that the first be
the case, he is smenable for disobe-
dieuce and contempt for the Presi-
dent and the general commanding the
armies. In the event that the
latter be the case, and Thomas is exon
GRATED. the ouus Of the affair is thrown
ppon the Chief Executive. Whichever
be the case. another act Of Radical des-
potism has been placed on record aud
another thrust made AZ the down-trodden
liberties. she peace and security Of the

bay The result of the late elections
instead of SOLDERING, has maddened some
of the leading Radicals. Not having
forgotten the effects of bravado during
the war, when bayonets were ready to
fash in the sunlight at any ones bidding,
they seek to stop the Conservative whirl'
wind by threats and bullying. Radical
orators pirate as glibly about crushing
Northern TRAITORS as when military
orders caused the suppression of free
speech and a free press, and dragged
men out of bed at midnight, for no crime
known to the law. Ii 10 now sought to
intimidate men from repudiating Radi-
calism, by threatening the country with
the vengeance of Congress. They are
told that should the Democrats succeed,
Congress will impeach the President and
place the country under military rule.
No less person than Schuyler Colfax,
Speaker of the House, made this utter
auce in Ohio the other day, and prayed
for the assemblago of Congress, that the
work of impeachment might com
mence. He did not claim the President
was guilty of crimes demanding SO dan
gerous an action. His object was intimi.
dation; and it is not ungratifying to OBJ
serve that so influential Radical jour
nal as the Cincinnati Commercial has
the manliness to lecture the Presidential
aspirant for lis threats, and pronounce
them In bad taste. The Commercial

be should commit some overt act
worse than the removal Of a Secre-

important, if the President is impeached
that it should not appear to be a mere
partisan impeachment Doubtless; but
the Commercial should remember that
the furious onslaught of its party on the
President was not the result of violation
Of his oath of office. but because be

but of interest. Had the President kept

Day- While deaiening howl goes up
from the Northern Radical press upon
the reorganization Of the militia OF Mary
land, the reassembing by the loyal
Brownlow Of his myrmidons ut the State
capital Of Tennessee, 10 enforce his
usurpations and carry out his filthy pur'
poses in preventing charter election,

Radicals have been thrown by the for
mer, their apprehensions of an isierier'
ence with Congress, aud insinuations
that the Maryland militia have been
organized, and will be used, to back the
President in case Of impeachment, etc,
presents, indeed, striking contrast with
the cool Indifference and silence with
which the party has so long stood by and
beheld Tennessee ruled and tyrannized
over by a petty tyrant, backed by a
band Of Infamous hi-elings But
Br ownlow's militia were the
tools and agents of Radicalism-the
Maryland militia are not, and hence the

Suppose the Governors Of Democratic
California or Connecticut should call to
arms State guard-as they have the
undisputed right to do-would the Rad
zeal press howl over this event as por-
tending mischief and rebellion 2 We
presume so The cases are precisely
parallel. But il is not that the Radicals
entertain any honest apprehensions of
trouble from Maryland, or that they
regard handful of militiamen with fear
and trembling for the national safety.
Having failed to discover any other, they
seek in this pretext for rec onstruchng
the State and placing Maryland as they
would place every Democratic State
in the Union, in the condition of
Tennessee. This accomplished and a
militia, however overbearing and mis-
chievous, so that it Haunted the banner
and moved to the music OF Rsdicalism,
would cease to be an object Of alarm, or
even so much as the theme of passing

Radicalism will scarcely avert the eye of
the country from its own far.reaching
tyranny and usurpation to affairs in the
little State of MARYLAND.

Ia The Missouri Democrat is pain
fully exercised over the discovery that
the Maryland militia are wearing of
the gray" and with pious horror turning
its puritanic eyes skyward, in the serene
and loyal azure, it discerns a speck of

"you hear the beat of drums. The
tramp of armed men startles you and
the armed men wear gray uniforms.
