people of Tennessee. Yet Senter is sup
ported by Brownlow and that faction.
Nobody supposes that Brownlow Is avor-
able to the Acknowledgement of the people
whom he 50 cordially hates.
To which the Press and Herdld re-
spends, sensibIy and to the point, that
The apprehensions of our correspondent,
so far as Gov. Senter is concerned, we feel
assured, are ~groundless. We have no
doubt of his sincerity ourselves, and feel
confident that he will fully redeem his
pledges to the people. AS to Senator
Brownlow, he has not publicly made any
avowal of his sentiments or intentions, so
far as we have seen, since the issue was
made upon the suffrage question between
the two candidates for Governor. His or
gan, the Knoxville Wing, however, has
disclosed, and we presume by Rnd with
his knowledge and sanction, that che
stands forth for Senter and his policy"
and that he is Gin the van of the great
movement We have been informed,
however, that a gentleman who "inter-
viewed" the Senator day before yester-
day, did not understand him as by any
means favoring the policy declared by
Senter to the full extent of his liberality,
but favored it with reservations. What
the extent of UGH reservations may be,
we do not know, nor indeed do we care
much. So long as Gov. Senter himself is
faithfully adhering to the policy with
which he set ont, and until we have fur
Their reason than we now have to question
his integrity, we shall give him our en-
couragement, regardless of he imagined
or probable insincerity of any of his sup
porters. The Supreme Court has decided
that Senator Brownlow is no longer the
State.

We are glad to perceive, says the
M~urfreesboro Monitor, that Capt.
Sheafe, who was elected to Congress
from this district by upwards of 1000
majority over Tillman, his Radical
opponent, has determined to contest
the election, a certificate having been
fraudulently issued to the latter by
Gov. Brownlow. Both gentlemen
have been busily engaged for some
days before Squire Clark, - taking
dispositions bearing upon the case.
Mr.. Tillman is endeavoring to prove
that the election in this county was
carried for his opponent by fraud.
Though fairly and constitutionally
elected to the position, we doubt
whether the Radical Congress will
have decency enough to admit Capt.
Sheafe to his seat.

There are three negroes announced
as candidates for the Legislature. One
Bowle5 has been before the people of
Bedford county for some weeks. An
other by the name of John Long is
announced in the Murfreesboro NelCs
as a candidate for "Floater" from
Rutherford and Bedford. He claims
that the negroes of Rutherford and
Bedford can elect him by more than
one thousand majority, and appeals
to them TO know whether they will do
1t. He does not appear to seek the
votes of white men. Nelson Walker
is announced in the Nashville Press
and Times as a candidate for one of the
Representatives from Davidson coun-
ty. He says he IS in favor of free
suffrage, free speech, free religion,
free labor and free government" and
he "professes to have been for univer-
sal suffrage and universal amnesty as
early as any one"

negroes, and the effects Of his entire
speech tended TO engender bad feeE
ing in the bosom of that ignorant class
of persons. Senter responded that If
elected Governor, he would at once
recommend the Legislature to enfran-
chise every taxpayer and disfran-
chised person in THE State. That COM
mon justice, as well as the voice ofthe
Republican party everywhere, de
manded universal suffrage; that his
highest ambition now was to recon
Gle the people.

At Springfield, ON last Monday, it
being County Court day, there was a
large gathering of the people from all
parts of Robertson county. A public
meeting was held, and the Record of
that place explains as follows what
occurred:
Hon. John f. House being requested to
do SO, explained to the crowd the purport
of tho recent decision of the Supreme
Court at Brownsville as to the right OF all
TO vote who had e been registered and
obtained certificates.
Gen. John +. Garner then being called
on, read to the immense ~assemblage a full
account of the discussion at Nashville. on
the 5th of June, between Stokes and Sem
ter on the suffrage question, and offered
the following resolutions, which were
adopted by general reclamation, by the
raising Of hands and one general long and
loud ATEt tO-wit:
ReSolged, That the people of Robertson
county, irrespective OF party or color, in
mass meeting assembled, have observed
with great interest the positions taken by
the opposing candidates for Governor on
the great question of the day-the extern
sion of the elective franchise-and that
we most heartily endorse the sentiments
of Gov. Senter on this subject, and hail his
manly avowal as q bright omen that the
day OF our political redemption draweth
nigh when all the political disabilities now
resting on every citizen of u noble State
will DO at once and forever removed.
RESOLVED, That in giving forth these
manly utterances, Gov. Senter commends
himself to our warme5t gratitude and
most cordial support.

The Paris HlteHigencer of Saturday,
in an editorial treating of the plat
forms of Senter and Stokes, says:
"The issue of the campaign is now
fairly made up, and rises far above
mere personal scramble for place and
power. AS the laws now exist, there
are forty thousand citizens in this
State entitled to certificates. This,
coupled with the fact that there are
one hundred thousand other white
men in Tennessee who will soon en-
joy the precious boon of the ballot,
makes them a power whose interests
are not to be ignored in this canvass"
