polls, We have this rousing Kentucky pro-rebel
democratic majority Of forty, dfty or sixty thou

Tennessee, having plunged over head and
ears into the rebellion, had to be drawn out
by main strength. President Lincoln, after
expelling tho rebel armies and State govern
ment, proceeded to reconstruct her under
bis provisional military Governor, Andrew
johnson; and Mr.. Johnson inaugurated the work
on the platform that ''rebels and traitors must
take back seats" and that the rights of the
emancipated blacks must be respected. The
plan of reconstruction thus set on foot resulted,
in the course Of events In the election Of
Brownlow as Governor. and radical anti-rebel
Legislature TO back him. Thus in following up
the original programme of Andrew Johnson.
with the Acknowledgement Of forty or fifty
thousand rebels in Tennessee, and the enfran-
chisement Of forty or fifty thousand blacks.
Brown,ow and the radicals, with the solid
uo8IO VOB, carry Iuo otaSc W sVuo Wiy
thousand majority. In reversing this order Of
things, the pro-rebel democracy, IN power in
Kentucky. carry the State by majority which
ecipses Browniew.
The result in Tennesses settles the question
Of the drift Of tho negro vote in all the unre-
constructed rebel States, and turns them over
into the hands Of the republican party under
the reconstruction bills Of Congress; the result
in Kentucky gives us pretty clear idea of
what would now be the political condition Of
all the other Southern States had President
Johnson's general policy of reconstruction been
accepted by Congress. Tennessee, however.
will never be quiet until the mass of her dis
frsnchised rebels are restored to their political
rights az citizens, and Kentucky will never be
at peace or take new start on the road Of
prosperity until she falls into line on this new
doctrine ofequal rights to the negro. including
the right of suffrage. This judgment will apply
more or less to all the States in which the
right of suffrage TO the negro is denied or re.
slricted; for. whether the two houses Of
Congress interpose Or DOT, there must be a
uniform system OH this right of suffrage through
out the Union before its agitation will cease

Coercion Of voter--A Suicidal Policy.

Freedmen who voted the radical ticket in
the late Tennessee election are being dis
charged in such large numbers, by their 60
called conservative employers as to, suggest q
suspicion that this is the result Of collision on
the part of The latter This prescription Is
recommended by some Of the journals Of Ten
nessee, and it is intimated that in other South
ern States there exists general disposition to
infict like penalties on the freedmen who
shall dare TO commit similar offence In the
exercise Of their newly acquired rights of citi-
zenship. Nov, coercion used to be considered
q very ugly word throughout the South. and
applied in this new fashioned way It
bids fair to become uglier still; for
the prescription which 1t represents will not
only lead, as it already has led in Tennessee,
to such deportation Of laborers % no antici-
pated influx Of coolies can we'll supply, but
also to such an additional turn Of the screw as
will soon convince the most obstinate oppo-
nents Of Reconstruction that the radical party
Of the North, duly represented in Congress, are
determined to Garry out their plans and secure
to the negro voters In the South the unrestricted
exercise Of their rights. In plain words, unless
coercion of this kind is wisely abandoned In
time even Old Thad Stevens mild confsca-
tion" will have to borrow Q more terrible
aspect II the suicidal policy recommended by
certain Southern journals is pursued 1t will
result in condscation, and the freedmen will be
made landholders If only to strengthen their
hands % voters.
