NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN FRIDAY, JULY 80 1863.

to that one cause all the evils that seem
imminent. We firmly believe that
had our friends in Tennessee
stood by their colors undaunted,
all would have been well; but
that one break in the dam is likely to
prove fatal. The tide of rebellion Is
rushing in, and will shortly sweep away
all barriers. and not rest until the North
err and Union element OF the State has
been whelmed in one common overthrow.
Down with the carpet-baggers and seal
lawags' will soon be the battle'cry OF the
Democracy. Judges Andrew and Gary
endorse Senter rather than Stokes, De.
cause they think Rebel embarrassment
inevitable, and it is better to yield grace-
fully than grudgingly, getting credit for
magnanimity, rather than curses for os,
tracism. But this is a white feather ar
gument that lily becomes brave men who
periled all for the triumph of those very
principles which make them odious to
those they seek to conciliate 1t is pre-
cisely the same excuse given by the apol-
ogists for conservatism in the Johnson
People campaign
"Lst Tennef see. halt, tremble and fall,
the Republican party would survive.
What if Brownlow should have Andrew
johnson for colleague? What five should
lose that State, once for all, the blow wiii
do the party and the nation no harm, II
only the infection of cowardice does not
spread. We look to see Governor Senter
elected in few days over General Stokes,
and it is about an even chance that the
| Democrats will have msjority In Inc
Legislature, and, it would not be at an
| surprising il Senter should find himself q
| shorn Samson in the tolls of the Phli-
| istinep, having gained victory only TO
| be made to turn the crank of an admins
ton subseryient to the Rebel Democratic
interest. .Ifso, the warning will, we think
be most salutary to che Republicans in the
the Southern States, and in that way the
parly in Tennessee will carry on the
Sampsonian analogy, and, like the Hebrew
giant, accomplish more in. death Than in
/ life. Andrew Johnson's State repudisseG
his policy in toto once, but now it seems
disposed 10 meet him half way, only Il
meet, as a commonwealth, much the sam'
fate as he did individually" cal .

drews confesses to his Radica
friends in Chicago that he would
have rendered different decision
| at Brownsville if he could consci
entiously have done so. Tn
Journal frankly confesses that thi
was the 'break in the dam" which
is likely to swamp the Radica
party, and itsees no hope whateve
for the election ofStokes. We com
mend this confession to the Stoker
in this State who still insists tina
their candidate will be elected.

TENNESSEE POLITICS FROM CHI
CAGO STAND POINT.

The Chicago Journal is one of the
few Northern Radical papers that
has opposed the reimbursement
of the white taxpayers OF this
State, and has advocated the cleo
ton of Stokes upon the ground
that his election would contribute TO
continue the disfranchisement of
the "Rebels." Acting upon this
idea, the Journal has taken moro
than ordinary interest in the pre-
sent contest for Governor. The
Journal is therefore a fair type Of
the Stokes faction, with the single
exception that it has the candor to
confess what it hoped and expected
by the election of the hero of the
Calf Killer. The Journal has an
article in its issue Of the 9th inst,
which contains some statements of
facts as well as speculations, which
will be interesting to Tennessee
readers, and we accordingly repro
duce the major portion Of it as fol-
lows:
ave were favored this morning with
a call from Judges Andrew, Cary and
Otis. The latter now resides in this
city, but was, until quite recently,
Chancellor of the Nashville Division.
Tennessee has thirteen Chancellors.
Judge Andrew is one of the three Chief
Justices of that State, and Judge Cary
presides over one of the nineteen Circuit
Courts of the same State. Each hailed,
originally, from the North, two of the
number, if not all, having helped put
down the rebellion by force of arms. At
the close of hostilities they settled in
that State, expecting that the South
would so far accept the situation, and
that Northern capital, industry and en-
terprise would lend such helping hand
in practical, or material, reconstruction,
that the South would thrive. For a

But the sun that rose in splendOr is now
behind cloud. The retrOgrade move

The sad truth is, that when the Su,

a judicial ac., and that, as logical corol>

the person registered, but from that time
all must be allowed the elective franchise

ANINsrANCE OF BASE TREACMERY

An INSTANCE OF BASE TREACHEkf
For several years the Cincinnati
Gazette has had a correspondent
who las paid periodical visits to the
capital Of Tennessee to strengthen
the proscriptive Radicals who held
power in this State through the
most proscriptive policy that was
ever adopted in any government.
He showed himself the most malig-
nant reviler of the people of Ten
nessee who were not Radicals, that
had ever visited this State. He
could see absolutely nothing in this
people TO elicit from him one word
of commentator, but on the con-
trary, he represented them as wins
dictive Rebels, as violaters Of
the laws, as Ku.Klux or sympa-
thisers of the Ku-Klux; in short,
the worst species of population that
was ever thrown together. He
justified every outrage that was
perpetrated upon this people by
Brownlow and his henchmen, and
palliated the infamies Of the loyal
militia, on the ground that they had
to deal with set of outlaws. The
surprise of this people may be
readily imagined when it was ascer-
tanned this man had been
placed in charge of the editorial
department of the Press and
Times when it hauled down the
name of Stokes and run up that Of
Senter. Not a man who knew this
correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette, believed there was q parti-
Gle of sincerity in the advocacy
which he gave in q diluted form in
the Press and Times to the great
issue of the restoration Of the bal
lot to the white taxpayers Of the
State. Subsequent events have
shown that he was simply a spy in
the Senter camp. Having lost his
situation in the Press and Times,
he discloses his true character with
that unblushing impudence for
which he is famous. The Gazette
publishes letter from him, dated
the 18th inst, and we desire to de
rect the especial attention of the
friends of Gov. Senter to the fol-
lowing extracts:
"Now, had Governor Senter continued
to run as a Republican, executing strict
w. meanwhile, the laws of the State, as
was his sworn duty to do, he would have
beaten his competitor out of sight; would
have been at the close OF the conflict COM
plete master of the situation; would have
been enabled to reOrsanlze and reunlte
the Republican party of Tennessee on
firmer broader. better basis than ever
before would have secured for himself
the gratitude of all classes of citizens
(save the malignant enemies oil the coun-
try), and would have won, by the almost
united voice of the people, the appelIs-
ton Of statesman"
His election upon this programme
was a foregone conclusion; for he would
have secured, first, a large share, say
one thrd, Of the vote heretofore Repub-
lican; second, the entire vote heretofore
Democrat; and, third, the 1900 hith-

as one of the most active, liberal
and public spirited citiz,ns in the
county, man of indefatigable en-
ergy of character. The GAINESVILLE
Chronicle, the leading Conservative
paper in the lower end Of the dis
trict, thus speaks of him and reflects
the sentiment of that portion Of the
people:
The gentleman, (R. B. Chealham,) whose

Floater in the district composed of the
counties of Montgomery, Cheatham, Da-
wilson and Robertson. Mr.. Cheatham is
not unknown to our people, having once
represented our hoterial district in the
Legislature. He will make an able, active,
energetic member, and we hope that our
people will rally to his support to man.
His competitor, we understand, is one
Warren Jordan, of Cheatham, an indi-
yidual who now misrepresents the
people of this district He is a
venemous and malignant Radical,
who during his term in the legislature
has consistently supported to the extent OF
his limited ability, all the oppresf-
i've measures of his party. He has
gone as far as his hatred and sense would
/ allow in insulting the people and tramp
4 ling upon their most sacred rights. Lei
them rise in their might and sent him
bowling to his hole Of oblivion, where ne
will have all the remainder of his unhappy
life, to reflect on the outrages he has been
able, during period of accidental power
to inGict upon the rights OF the people
among whom he was raised.
