T.nnessee Election.

Tho election in Tennessee came
off an the 5th inst. and wcat as every
body supposed it would, iRfhc over
wholming defeat of the Stokes party
and tho triunlph of the Senter, Or
conservative party,sby a majority of
%, 600 to 10000 on the State ticket.
and two thirds of the Legislature.
The result iasures the zelectian,zof
Andrew Johnson to the United
States Senate. Etheridge is can
didate but A. J. will, we believe,
easily beat him. 1t will be a bitter
pill to Parson Brownlow. who has
thrown his influence in favor Of
Senter, TO see the same faction elect
ing A. sk.fU. SsSenater. Cow Senter
ran asa Republican, a portion of
whom. together with the democratic
vote, elected him. The contest has
-.
been prolonged and bitter, even to
personalities, to the disgrace of both
candidates. Trouble was apprehen-
ded on the day Of election, but all
accounts, agree in saying that it
passed off quietly and peacefully.
We presume the democratic press
generally will be jubilant over the
result. As far as we are concerned
they are welcome to all the comfort
they can get outsof it. A State that
can produce two such a'fbiather
sixties" asa. J. and Parson Brownlow,
and send them to the q. s. Senate,
is short of tall timber, and the party
who foster and nurses them ought
to be bitten. q We are gratifed to be
able toadd that the Republican par
ty has experienced the process. We
hope now that this defeat in Ten
nessee will be good lesson to our
friends, and learn them not to over
ride such men as Horace Maynard,
and put in the first places men like
Brownlow and johnson. This is
our say-make the most of it, neigh

s9 We knew it. Hope had led
us to believe it would, have been
postponed until the present heated
term had exhausted itself in a cool
and refreshing rain storm. But,
alasl how often hope deceives US and
plunges us into sadness. Profanity,
at the best, is a vile habit and a pal
pable violation of the third com
but when, even in its
mildest form, it is leveled at ones
own candidate, it shows a state. Of
mental anguish deplorable in the ex-
treme. The Logan county Gazette
has been guilty of this wickedness.
1t is unnecessary to inform our
reader that the Logan county Ga
zette is a democratic paper, pure and
unadulterated. 1t usues naughty
cass words. That is a sure sign of
its party affiliation. Republican Or
gans never us naughty words. They
are free from profanity, They never
say d-n. We regret that our dem
ocratic friends are SO harassed in
mind that they are compelled to say
In. q We bespeak for our demo-
,ratic friends the prayers of the
good in this, their trying situation.
0fcourse by "the good" we mean
he Republicans. We beg pardon.
Zen. Rosecrans, be it ever kept in
fond remembrance, is the democratic
for Governor of Ohio, saw
it, in 1868, to write a letter to the
Ohio Legislature, in which he used
The following significant and highly
patriotic language: lff
| am amazed that any one could
,hink of peace on any terms. He
who entertaips the sentiment. is fit
,nly to be a slave; he who utters it
1t this time is moreover traitor to
MS country, who deserves the seorn
md contempt ofall honorable men,
The Logan county Gazette, there
ore, acknowledges its genuineness
md comes back at the General, in
he following ungrateful manner.
The e,aboye will be found standing
as we suppose), during the cam.
,aign, at the head of the columns of

gree to its authenticity, but pro-
lounce it now, as we did when it
vas uttered, IA lie-most probably a
Id lie, at that Rosecrans will
ave to admit this when he accepts
he Golumbusnomination. lItis just
IS well to be. plain and outspoken,
Indsto call things by their right
lames. The ngoak, " we agree, is
lpon-the Democracy, till Rosecrans
leeepts, and then it will be upon

writing that sentence and looking
Ipon it as ajoke! He did not per-
