THE sENATORsHrP.

Tomorrow is the day appointed by q
law Of Congress TO elect United States
Senators, in the event q choice is not
made on the first Tuesday of the legis
lative session. The organization of both
Ho6ses of the Legislature not being COM
pleted in time. the election of Senator
was compelled to 20 over until the 18th
inst. There was perhaps never a more
desperate struggle for position than is
being made by Andy Johnson for shis
Senatorial vacancy from Tennessee.
He does not. with decent respect to
the high Office Of President, that
be once filed, remain 10 the back ground
and permit his friends to advocate bis
claims, but with reckless regard for
dignity and self-respect, rushes into
the arena, and with coat OF lays abou,
like very demagogus as be is. The as
sumption that Andy is the preference Of
the people is merely to cover him from
the assaults OF the press throughout the
State, which almost unanimously op.
pose his election. His friends claim
that be 10 most numerically set upon
and prosecuted by bis enemies, and for
that reason, if for nothing else, be should
be sent to the Senate By the present
Legislature. The assumption Of an in-
juree air is an old dodge Of Audy'siu by.
gone days, when be endesvored to create
the impression that bis opponents would
sacrifice him because be dared TO stand Up
and plead the cause Of the dear people.
To reiute the charge that the geHuine peO-
pie Of this State desire the election Of A,
Johnson to the Senate Of the United
States We will venture the assertion that

We make hasf., to inform out friend,
that wsNwill not be surprised ct the
action Of the present Legislature 10 doing
whatever may seem to them best Still
the action taken may be vide apart from
the desires ofths people, who we're COM
PEELED to elect Just such men TO- the
Legislature ~ they did al the lasl. cleo
ton. II it be considered for moment
that there 10 not one single Confederate
soldier in that numerous body Of men
who at this time compose both branchesof
our Legislature, then the msjority of'the
people should not be surprised il Andy
johnson, or any other man, is elected
Senator. The candidates oath proscribes
all that numerous class of our oitizens;
and so ridgedly was the line drawn that
not man who fought for the honor Of
the South was permitted to enter the
halls of legislation. Let those who have
thus go long endured the tyrant's heel
wait bat q short time, and then we
may laugh at our enemies.
