STOKES. LITTLE REBNILION.

The ultra Radicals are preparing
to Justify Stokes threatened at
tempt to overthrow the State gov
crnmcnt in the event the people do
not elect him Governor. The
Chattanooga Republican, in its is
sue Of the 25th inst, furnishes the
partisans of Mr.. Stokes somo sug-
gcstions TO which we wish TO direct
attention. That paper says:
Speaking of our mention Of the Dorr
case few days since, the Press and
Times says
"'AlI that the Republican can possibly
make out of the present gubernatOrial
race, run between two candidates, under
the same State government and cOnstitu-
ton, at the same ballot box, on the same
election day-nOne of which features
marked the Rhode Island difliculty-is
an ordinary contested election case, which
must be determined by the State Legis~
laturc, and not by the Federal govern
ment'
Under ordinary circumstances the
Legislature would be the power to ap~
peal to. but in this instance the LcgiSla~
ture will be subject, as a body, to the
same charge as the Goyernor-that OF
having been elected by illegal votes. II
Senter is elected by illegal votes, as he
must be if elected at all, the Legislature
will have been chosen in the same way,
and will not be competent to determine
anything in the matter. The whole gov
eminent, except the judiciary and the
executive officers that hold over, will be
4 fraudulent one. Suppose Gen. Stokes
should consider himself fairly elected by
majority of the legal voters Of the
State, as he certainly will be, and SUI
pose q sufficient number Of the lcgisla-
tive candidates should consider the same
thing, and should meet him at Nashville
in October and organize q State governs
ment, Scntcr and his faction organizing
another, how would that ques~
ton be determined, and who would
be the aTbiter? We are no
lawyer, but it seems to Us thal Congress
is the power TO which the parties should
appeal in such a case. In such a case
the iudges and clerks o. Courls, shcrills
and SO on, would he left TO their own
Judgment entirely, as TO whom they
would recognize as the government. lt
r. quite probable that they would be
divided in such 4 case, and that some
would recognize one, and some the other,
a. their political predictions or thor
IDEAS as to who is justly entitled, might
suggest. If one party should attempt to
put the other down by force, IT might
result in civil strife, and Federal inter-
ference would be necessary. With two
paIticS appealing to it as Governor, the
administration could do nothing more
than take possession of the State, and
leave the question as TO who is the goy>
eminent for Congress to decide"
The Leading idea of the Republi-
can seems TO be to get up some sort
Of = collision which will Justify the
Grant administration in taking
posscssion of the State until Con
gress could decide that we had no
Government, and that the State
must be rcmanded TO the mercics OF
military satrap. The suggestion

will claim to be elected by ma

to interfere in our election, and that
the military are already being sent
here for that purpose. We know
that some detachments of cavalry
have already arrived here, if not in
a clandestine manner, at least I'M
heralded. And now tho boast Is
made that "the strong arm of the
government is raised over the
State" We call the attention of the
people of Tennessee to the fact that
this attempt at intimidation is begun
by the faction interested in the
election of WE Stokes, and we
call upon the people of Ohio to re-
member that if tho federal govern
ment is tolerated in this attempted
interference in the election in this
State, the next step will beto defeat
Rosecrans, in Ohio, by an act OF
usurpation as bold and as unwar-
ranted as that which has been fore
shadowed in Tennessee. We call
upon the friends of law and order
throughout the county to bear In
| mind that bold and inscriptions
attempt has been made by Mr.
Stokes and his henchmen to lntlml-
date and keep away from the polls
| men who have been granted certIh-
Gates of registration by officers
whose decisions are pronounced
judicial. II is the boldest, most
INSCRIPTIONS effort to elect
a man to a high and re-
sponsible Office whom the hon
est masses of the people regard
as wholly unfit for the position. If
the federal government shall be
| tolerated in this threatened inter
| ference with the internal affairs OF
the States, where will the work OF
usurpation stop2 Will Tennessee
be the only State in which ultra
Radicals will be elected to office
through intimidation and the in
reference of the military? These
are pertinent questions which affect
every State in the Union, for if the
threatened interference with the
vested rights of this people be tol'
Grated, then the next step will be tc
mako sure work in Ohio, in Penn
sylvania, and in every other doubt

SECTION 4, Article 4 of the Con-
stitution Of the United States reads
as follows: ~ mn "a.
"The United States shall guarantee to
every State in this Union q Republican
form Of government, and shall protect
each of them against Invasion, and on
Application of the Legislature, or of the
Executive (when the Legislature cannot
be convened) against. domestic Violence"
Tennessee is "a State in this
Union" HI $3.50
Whether out or not, during the
period between the Sth of juno,
1861, to July, 1866, no man will
question THAT since the latter date
she has been q State in the Union,
protected by all the guarantees of
the Federal Constitution, and pano-
piled in all the rights which any
State may enjoy.
The people of the State consider
ing that the "form Of government"
which she has is Republican, and
consenting to live under and regard
it as such, there is no clause, line or
word in the Constitution, nor is
there in any act of Congress, which
authorizes or justifes the Federal
Executive to interferein the inter
nal administration of her laws, so
long as they do not conflict with the
Constitution Of the United States.
Violations Of State laws may
occur, regardless of number and
reckless in character, provided they
be within the above described limits,
and there is no power given the
Federal Government TO lift its
finger to repress or correct them.
The laws Of the State may be
overthrow and set at naught by
violence, and unless the Legisla,
ture be convened by the Governor
to petition for Federal assistance,
or unless this be done by that func-
tionary, there is no authority fol
the General Government, directly
or indirectly, to intervene.
These propositions, we dare any
man at Washington, from Grant tC
Creswell, to dispute. Gen. Stokes
desperate at the inevitable defeat
which awaits him, is indulging il
intimations that such an execution
of the election laws Of this State as
may lead TO the success Of his com
petitor, will be reviewed by tho
Federal authorities, and that its re-
suit will be rescindcd and set aside
That gentleman has not, SO far as
we know, made the direct threat &c
this effect; but this is the hint
thrown out by his hcnchmen.
Now, the Legislature is not IL
session and will not be convened il
any probable contingency during
or after the present election contest
Gov. Senter will not solicit Fedora
aid. We do not undertake TO defy
but VIC dare say, that the Fedora
Government dare not and will no
unwarrantabIy interfere to contro
this election or compel the result
There have been great stretches o
Federal power in latter days, but :
reaction has set in that will prevent
this outrage. The most timid ma!

ssANOTHER ENDORSEMENT FROM
xuaaagNf. rREo

Stokes has received a telegram
from Postmaster General Creswell,
which he publishes in his organ
here and reads from the stump, as
follows: E -
WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a, 1869.
To Hon. ". B. Stokes, city Hotel:
Believing you to be the true representa-
tive Of the Republican Party of Tonnes
see, earnestly advocate your cleo n
and trust that every sound Republican
in your State will rally enthusiastically
to your support. The President is alb
sent from the city, but am confident
that declare his opinion and desire.
JOHN A. j. CREswELL,
Postmaster General.
Stokes has by begging got an en-
dorsement from Boutwell, and
Creswell. But what signifies that,
since he cannot get the endorse
ment of the people he socks to serve
as Governor This canvass works
new era in the government, be,
cause it dates the first effort OF an
administration to dictate to the
people of State who they should
elect their Governor. ..
