ANnREW JOHNSON.

When Andrew johnson was so hero
ically engaged in that defense of the
principles of republican government which
won for him the frequent and enthusiastic
encomiums of the Nashville Banner,
which caused it to term him, few months
ago, "the most arlfinching and con-
Scientio,tS champion the Consultation
eper hdd;;n when that paper was pro-
claiming that President johnson possessed
''both the right and the power to throw
himself across the pathway of Congress,
one would have scarcely supposed that
those who now most bitterly denounce
him are the same persons who then most
extravagantly lauded him.
There are those in Tennessee who have
personal objections to Mr.. johnson, and
yet believe that high political considera-
tions require that he should be endorsed
by the Legislature. The Radical party of
the North have labored long and earnestly
to create the impression that he was not
sustained in his opposition TO Radicalism
by the people of Tennessee. The same
effort is now being made by those who
oppose his election to the United States
Senate. 1t is due to the sentiment of Ten
nessee that her greatest living, Statesman
should be elected to the Senate that Radi
calism may see that the people of this Statt
approve his course in maintaining the con
stitutional rights of each and all the States
Shall it be trumpeted abroad that tn,
representatives of the Conservative PEG
pie of Tennessee do not approve of tn
course of Mr.. johnson in resisting tn
aggressions of Radicalism2 In all tn
other States the unanimous opinion 0
those opposed to Radicaism is that Mr.
johnson should be elected to the Senate a
a deserved tribute for his able and pa
triotic conduct, as well as an endorsement
of the views he expressed and maintaine
onthe policy of the government TheLeg
islature in thus representing the views 0
their constituents, have also an opportu
nifty Of showing their opposition t
the policy of Radicalism, and c

TuE, sENATOuIarr CONTEST.

THE. SENATOEIaTf. oONTEST.
Again, as was anticipated, there was
no election. 1t will be seen by reference
to our Legislative report that Senator
Cooper of Bedford, who voted for Mr..
johnson the first day, on yesterday voied
for his brother, Senator Cooper of David
son and Representative Young of Over
ton, who voted for Mr.. johnson on Tues
day, yesterday voted for Gov. N. S.
Brown. Although this shows a falling
off of two votes in the ballot for Mr.
johnson, 1t has not discouraged his friends,
who believe that he will not only receive
those two votes to-day, but several others
which have hitherto been given as compi-
ments to other gentlemen. Mr.. Ethe-
ridge fell off one vote on the second bal
lot yesterday. 1t win be seen that there
was but little change in the ballots for the
other gentlemen. 1t win be gratifying to
our friends to learn that Mr.. Johnson's
friends are more sanguine now than at
any preceding time The developments
are such as to give the greatest encourage
ment, and warrant us in the belief that his
election is certain. There are more than
enough of those, now voting for. Others,
who express themselves as decidedly
favorable to Mr. Johnson, to elect him
whenever the complimentary balloting
shall cease The arrangement which was
understood to have been made with the
Radical members by which they were to
run Mr.. Etheridge up to within a few
votes of an election, has not yet been con-
summated.

THE friends of Mr.. Johnson, in their
advocacy of his claims, have never stopped
10 heap calumny and abuse upon any one
of the distinguished gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connection
with the scnatorship. In ordinary times
and under different circumstances, we
would not object to see a selection made
from those spoken of in this connection.
But at this particular time-at this great
crisis of the affairs of the State and ma
lion, when all eyes are turned to Tennes-
see, and all hearts are anNiously anticipa-
ting the result-when the great mass of
our own people are Enthusiastically for
ANDREW Johnson, and the whole COnser-
yative hosts Of the nation are earnestly
imploring his election, it is no time for
mere compliments to local or special ia
vorities. We do not desire TO underesti-
mate the qualifications, claims or abilities
of anyof these gentlemen. Mr.. JOHNSON 5
friends are not forced 10 resort TO such
means in order to sustain their advocacy
of him, nor does he seek or desire promo
ton by such means. O

SOME of the revilers of Mr.. Johnson, in
their zeal 10 secure his defeat for the
Senate, uncover their own deformities in
endeayoring to show up his short comings.
In the eagerncss of their zeal, they forget
the fact that Mr.. Johnson is TO be voted
for by a Legislature composed Of men OF
calm judgment-good, solid sense; gen
tlemn, whom it is to be presumed, know
the wishes of the people, and familiar
with the wants and necessities of the State,
and know how best TO subserve the inter
csts of Tennessee and of the nation in this
most important election. Yet these
opponents of Mr.. Johnson seem to think
our present Legislature is composed OF
such weak and fimsy material as to be
instructed by their dictation. 1t may be
that our Legislature is Of opinion thai
when II needs advice, il can afford to g
much further without mourning any very
considerable danger of faring worse.

The convention called TO favor the pro-
ject of removing the national capital from
its present location to the Mississippi Val
ley, met at ST. Louis yesterday. A New
England paper suggests the propriety of
making movable concern, like a State
fair or something of that kind, so as to
accommodate every section of the coun-
try. This would suit Grant exactly, if we
may judge by the way he travelled around
during the summer.

THE Richmond Dispatch of the 18th

THE Richmond Dispatch of the 18th
inst. contains the following paragraph;
'In our edition of yesterday there ap-
peared an advertisement for 800 colored
hands to go South, at wages from SIS 10
500 per month. The advertiser informs
us that before noon he had more than
half of the desired number, and there
were then applicants at his door. The
men are to 90 on sugar plantations in the
Gulf States. "
The negroes are beginning to learn from
sad experience that they cannot live hud-
died together in quarters in the large
towns and cities, as they have been pretty
much since the war Their services are
needed on the large plantations in the
South, and there they can earn wages
which will support them handsomely.
MANY farmers in Tennessee cannot get the
labor they need to cultivate their broad
acres, and yet thousands of aTle-bodied
/ negroes are eking out a miserable exist
ence in the towns and cities, who might
be employed proftably to themselves and
the tillers of the soil They should fol-
low the example of their Richmond breth-
rem, by seeking homes and employment in
| the country.

VOWED in the Ohio canvass, the question
of paying the bonds in gold or greenbacks
was not squarely presented, and that even
the Ohio Republicans viii favor quasi-re-
padiation unless the greenbacks are APP
preciated to a gold standard, and the
present bonds substituted by a new issue
at low rate of interest From this adj
mission we are led to conclude that if the
Republicans of Ohio had made the issue
squarely upon gold and greenbacks, there
would have been no doubt of the election
of Mr.. Pendleton by large majority.

THE UTFFERENCE.

Those opposed to Mr.. johnson, CLASH
fed as they are under two heads-oppo-
nents and revilers-haYe been, active in
their efforts to secure his defeat. The
means adopted by the fair and legitimate
Opposition we have seen no cause to COM
plain of; but the subterfuges resorted to
by his reYilers, have been marked by a
bitterness and unfairness unparalleled.
They seem to have relied entirely upon
assertion and abuse to carry their point
defeat the known wishes of the great
mass of the people of Tennessee and the
earnest hopes of the Conservatives every
where. .-f.
On the other hand, and in striking con
t,ast of this worse than guerrilla warfare,
his friends in Tennessee, and the friends
of conservatism everywhere, have conf
IDENTIFY relied, in their advocacy of
his claims on his high and IN
disputed merit - his wise and far
seeing craftsmanship, his vast abili-
ties, his mistaken patriotism, his devotion
TO principle and the best interests OF the
whole country, his power to do good, his
earnest love ofxthe Constitution, and his
great ability to vindicate and sustain 1t
against all attacks of its enemies. Let
his traducers vilify. He is used to such
warfare. He encountered it in its fiercest
forms under the combined attack of Thad.
Stephens Charles Sumner, Beast Butler
and the cohorts of Radicalism, and he
came out of that fiery ordeal unscathed,
triumphant, victorious. The storms and
tempests of yituperation and abuse they
| Numbered on his brow, the oceans OF
cslumny and detractiOn that beat theil
pillows at his feet, but made him rise thu
higher and defy the more their unhallowet
efforts to crush him, override the Consti
tuition and destroy our liberties. He tri
umphed then when the giants OF opposi
ton were arrayed in a most formidabl
form against him; and he win triumph
now over this attack waged with equa
ferceness but by feebler hands. The pee
| pie were with him in the first great cor
| test and they are with him now.
