LET by-gones be by-gones" has been
the word with the Southern people since
the close Of the war. But how is
the principle carried out in practice by
the enemies of Mr.. Johnson No man
has adhered to it more faithfully than he
And to this end ne has risked more than any
other man. But not so with his enemies.
The bitterness Of their opposition has cul-
minated into shameful persecution. Meth
cr he nor his friends have descended into
personal abuse of any opponent-nor do
they intend il. They desire the contest to
be settled upon the merits Of the parties,
and viii not 'hunt down. by abuse, any
opponent and they regard the contrary
course, rs unfair and ungcnerous.

TEE SENATORIAL CONTEST.


In allthat we have had TO sayinregardt TO
the Senatorial contest, we have endeayOred
to express ourselves with becoming mod
csty and with full and proper apprecia-
ton of the duties and responsibilities of
the representatives of the people. We
have had but one wish-that was to sub
serve the public good. Principle and in
tcrcst both dictate this as the proper course
for us as public journalists to pursue. We
are not 50 shOrt-sighted as TO believe that
any temporary advantage gained at the
expense of the public would he of any
lasting benefit. On the contrary we know
that it would deservedly be of material in
jury to Us. Il is even so with the mem
bcT Of the Legislature The viii of his
constituents under constitutional restric-
tons is the chart by which he is to be
guided He may obtain his seat
by false pretenses, but cannot then retain
the popular favor
In our discussion of the pending con
t.st we have urgently, but we nope re-
spectfully, presented the claims of eX-
President johnson because we believed
him to he the best fitted for the position,
and because We believe that the Conserya-
tive masses, not only Of Tennessee but of
every other State in the Union earnestly
desire his election. If such he the view of
the members Of the Legislature, they GER
tainly ought to, they certainly viii I'M
hesitatingly cast their ballots for him.
This is no time, there is no occasion for
mere personal compliments, either to old
friends, old associates, or present neigh
bors. Legislators were not elected for
that purpose, and the legislator who
ieopardizes the wishes of his constituents
by INDUCING in such compliments in such
a crisis will surely find that doubts and
distrust will attend his future career.

THE rNTEREsr ARRoAp.


We were forcibly struck with the re-
marks of distinguished gentleman from
neighboring State, who has been to Lou
isville, which we heard yesterday, relative
to our Senatorial election. He referred in
glowing terms to the days of Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, McDufie, Forsyth, and
others of the mighty dead. He spoke
with familiarity of their various contests
and of the interest which they excited in
their respective States, and concluded by
saying that no Senatorial race, except that
of Douglas and Lincoln, had ever created
the same degree of excitement, and
none had ever created the same
deep, l. intense, ah-pcrvading inter
est in other States as oar pending cleo
ton. This he accounted for by the heroic
fight which ex-President johnson had
made for the principles of the constitution
against a despotic Congress, and thereby
lost power and place, when Ire might have
secured both by simply consenting to lead
his own party.
We have this expression not only from
individuals in person from all parts of the
South, but likewise from private, correr
spondence In addition, we hayethe open
unequiyocal, repeated, emphatic declare
lions of the leading Conservative papers
throughout the Union: Such papers as
the Boston Post, New York World,
Herald, Albany Argus, Cincinnati En-
gaire, r Chicago Times, st. Louis Times,
Atlanta Constitution, Macon, ga. TeIe-
graph, and indeed all of the leading Con-
sentative papers in every State of the
Union. We cannot be mistaken in these
signs. The whole North and the whole
South, who tremble at the results of Rad
icalism, look with painful anxiety to
the result of the election, which
is to-day to take place or
at least to be begun in this city. Not
only IS this the feeling or the COnserVa-
tives, but we have assurances that even
moderate Republicans believe that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Johnsonwould have salutary
restraining effect upon the extremists who
have been giving tone to the Radical
party. If there should be doubts in the
minds of the members of the Legislature
as to the preference of the people of this
State, could they turn deaf ear to the
pleading voice which comes up from all
the other States. We can but feel
proper and abiding confidence that the
representatives of the people, who are but
the servants of the people, will reflect the
wishes of their constituents, and elect
Andrew johnson to the United States

No election of Senator in any State

The enemies of Mr. johnson insist that
he is obnoxious TO Mr.. Grant and 10 the
Congress of The United States, add that he
can therefore do the State no good, and
that the Legislature should select a man
not thus obnoxious 10 the President and
Congress- man for whom they would
have respect and in whom they would
have confidence. If these enemies of Mr.
johnson are sincere and really believe
what they say and are actuatcd by de
sire TO promote the welfare Of this State,
and NOT by personal hate 10 Mr. Johnson,
they viii abandon alI of their fayorites
nh support Stokes cor Maynard. Either
would have more influence with Graut and
Congress than allofAIr johnson sopponcnts
together Away with all such nonsense
and insinceTity Send a man to the Sen
ate whom Grant and Congress are bound
20 respect, because the whole nation re-
spects his personal honesty and command
inc ahiIics. No man fills so large a space
in the consideration of the American
people as Andrew johnson.

a successful practitioner of medicine, respectfully
returns many thanks to his many friends, and
sOlicits call from those labOring under any cOnst-
tutionAl disturbance of the system-especially any
disease of the genital organs in either male or fe

DIR. Coleman has been engaged in the practice Of
medicine over twenty years, is graduate Of the
University of Pennsy lvania, and has diligently aT
piled himself to his profession ever since.
With his practice and experience, having treated
over twenty thousand Cases Of sertdi diseases in
the past ten years be has elected the truth that
there are first principles in medicine, as well az in
philosophy, which, though simple, are yet inya-
riable and incontestible, and like the needle and
stars to the mariner, conduct the physician to the
origin and cause of disease.
Accidental success in being relieved in the ad-
ministratiOn of SdpdTilLdS oils, btterS, etc,
does not compensate for the mutifarious dangers
arising from the blind and incautiOus administra-
ton Of some unknown, patent, specific remedy
Human nature cannot and Will not endure the VIC
lence done to her by these panaceas, prescribed
generally by individuals utterly ignorant of the
functions by the human economy.
Dr. G. does not profess to perform any fabulous
cures, or TO be in possession of any remedy not
known to any educated and intelligent physician.
He who does, should be regarded by discriminate
ing public as an impOstor.

Of the State being 519,S29. Comparing the
votes at these several elections, it is ascer-
tanned that the average Republican ma

their opponents just ground for encourage
