The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can very properly observes that the
citizens OF every county in the State
should have extended to them every
facility that they may exercise the
highest right of citizenship of this
country" viz the right to vote; and
it demands the appointment of regis
trars who will perform that duty. To
which the Nashville Press and Times
(SENTER's organ) respolds'
Every citizen of Tennessee entitled
to vote under the franchise law, and
under the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, should be registered
and the officer who does not grant
every facility, consistent with the
safeguards of the law, to those who
are entitled to exercise the cleo
tive franchise, isderelect in duty, and
should be at once removed. The
privilege of suffrage Is too valuable
TO be tampared with; too sacred for
any one to be deprived of 1t on ac-
count of unnecessary instructions
being thrown IN the way. We have
no doubt, however, that II Is the sin.
cere desire Of Gov. Senter, as of the
whole Republican party, that all who
are entitled to registration should bt
furnished certificates, with the least
possible hindrance or delay. The
Governor has given evidences of this
in the changes already made.

A Truth for History.

At the dedication of monument
erected in memory of the Confeder-
ate dead, Col. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, lately delivered a very elo-
quent address, from which the fol-
lowing passage is worthy of being
preserved, not only in memory of the
Confederate dead in "perpetudrl me-
naoridn" of the dead Confederacy :
The contest was most unequal
one-the South fought at every dis
advantage. With white popula-
ton of less than five millions and q
half; with ali arm-bearing pOpula-
ton of less than nine hundred thous-
and Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia divided /;
without ship or a navy yard I; with
but few guns and they of inferior
quality, and not q mandatory where
any part of Its ammunition could be
made; without money or organized
credit; cut off from all the world,
in whose market she was not allow
ed to purchase even the medicines
for the sick; isolated from all man.
kind, and even thrust out from all
sympathy; encompassed with vastly
outnumbering foes, whose armies,
daily recruited from every nation
under the sun, were supplied with
every appliance of warfare and every
possible comfort as well as necessary !;
every harbor closed by watching war
vessels, and every stream occupied
by hostile gunboats; her soldiers
hungry, ragged and barefooted, she
yet fought with such tremendous
power, and was welded with such
skill that the expenditure of money
to conquer was more than would
have purchased every foot of her
land, every house in her cities and
villages, every slave on her planta-
tions, and all her property Of every
kind and the killed and permanent
ly disabled of her enemies amounted
to more than her entire armies during
the whole struggle. You may search
history in vain for q parallel.

Contested Election.

We are glad to perceive, says the
Murfrecsboro Monitor, that Captain
Sheafe, who was elected 10 Congress
from this district by upwards OF 1000
majority over Tillman, his radical OPP
ponent, has determined TO contest the
election, a certificate having been
fraudulently issued 10 the latter by
Gov. Brownlow. Both gentlemen
have been buslly engaged for some
days before Esq. Clark, In taking
depositions bearing upon the cases--
Mr.. Tillmau Is endeavoring to prove
that the election In this county was
carried for his opponent by fraud
Though fairly and constitutionally
elected to tile position, we doubt
whether the Radical Congress will
have decency enough 90 admit Cap
tain Sheafe To his sear.

MEMPHIS, TENN, June 10, 1862
To Il. s. Ayres, Judge A. Wright,
Col. NJ. G. Galloway, Col. DuBose,
Col. Rocket and Gen. Wright: MY
FRIENDS: Your several letters have
been received by me.
i am personally no aspirant for any
office political. would not be elected
by the next Legislature If 1 could !;
indeed, would not have 1t. 1 mean
what I say. ! am no politician, and
will not be but If am elected Gov
ernor I will, for reasons other than
personal or political, serve.
Objections have been made to me
that heretofore 1 have not been one
of the party politicians and dema-
gogues Of the past. All should now
realize that politicians and party
spirit have been our evil genius, and
one of the mudsills of our great
troubles. / had Thought this was my
strongest hold. believe if the PEG.
pie of the State are allowed to be true
to themselves, their children and the
country, they will certainly demon.
strate the fact that they are tired OF
parties. Certainly the moderate Re-
publicans and the Old Line Wings
belong to no party, and the Demo
Gratis only seek to bring back prosper
ity, law, order and peace to the people
of the State; and there are thousands
of true men in the Radical party, both
white and cOlored, who will vote for q
man whose administration will en-.
force the laws equally and justly to
all, of every class and condition.
If you think that the interest Of the
greatest number of the people Of the
State will be consulted, you can pub
lish this letter, and announce my
name as q candidate for Governor o.
Tennessee.
Upon the basis of my card of the
7th of May, published in the Ledger
with the announcement and pledge
If / shall be Governor and you will
give me Legislature at all in accord
with my principles, my obligations
and my determination, ! here make
the promise that will be the Cover
nor of all the people in the State, o.
all parties and conditions, white and
colored; and especially will try to
save the citizens from an inheritance
of slavery to the payment OF taxes
an absurdity and a burden too great
to be endured, and makes that which
we own onerous to keep. Law, order
and peace shall prevail from the
mountains of East Tennessee to the
shore of the Mississippi river. With
my consent or favor, no longer shall
an armed militia, in time of peace be
tax upon the people; shackles and
chains shall be broken, and the foot
of the despot shall no longer be upon
the necks of noble men and noble
women.
IL 1t shall be deemed necessary,
will, at an early day, issue an address
to the people of the State, giving my
views at longth upon the many alb.
surdities that have been inauguratet
upon the people.
am your friend and well-wisher

the time has tome when
the limitations and disabilities which
have found their way into our statute
books rs the result of the war, should
be abolished and removed. The Gov
ernor would probably not be volun-
taiily chosen by many Conservatives
I'm Tennessee as n candidate for the
Chief Magistracy Of the State; but,
compelled to decide between the man
who makes the declaration we havo
quoted, and hisopponent, who Is fully
committed against any change In tho
existing laws, the course of the De-
mocrcacy can hardly be donbtful. IT.
as we suppose, that party shall give
to Governor Senter an energetic sup
port-backed rs he Is by the machine
ry of the State government, which he
controls, and by the most influential
OF the Radical press-his election
would seem To be a moral certainty.
Whatever may be thought of his mo-
tives In thus, at the eleventh. hour,
placing himself In opposition to the
malignant proscriptionists with
whom he has hitherto acted, reason-
able persons of all parties must agree
that he has adopted the only course
consistent with common sense and
common Justice. - DIN. Enquirer.

MOTHERS, READi

A short time since, the author
listened to an interesting discourse by
a preacher, in which he related the
following incident:
A mother who was preparing some
flour to make into bread, left It for a
few moments, when little Mary, with
childish curiosity to see what 1t was,
took hold of the dish, which fell to
the floor, splitting the contents. The
mother struck the child a severe
blow, saying i'm anger that she was
always in the way. Two weeks af-
ter, little Mary sickened and died.
On'her death bed, while delirious, she
asked her mother, eff there would
be no room for her among the angels ;
/ was always In your way, mother
you had no room for little Mary And
will I be in the angels way Twill
they have no room for meW The
broken-hearted mother then felt no
sacrifice too great, could she have
saved her child.
Is there room among the angels
For the spirit of your child?
Will they take your little Mary
In their loving arms so mild?
Will they ever love me fondly,
Asmy story books have said?
VIII they find home for Mary
Mary numbered with the dead?
Tell me truly, darling mother,
Is there room for such rs me?
Will gain the home of spirits,
And the shining angels see?
Ihave sorely tried you, mother
Been to you constant care;
And you will not miss me, mother,
When dwell among the fairi
For you have no room for Mary
She was ever In your way,
And she fears the good will shun her
Will they, darling mother-say?
Tell me, tell me, truly, mother,
Ere life's closing hour doth come
Doyou think that they will keep me,
In the shining angels home?
was not SO hayward, mother
Not so very, very bad,
But that tender love would nourish,
And make Mary's heart so glad
Oh yearn for pure Affection,
In this world of bitter woe!
And long for bliss immortal,
In that land where / must go,
Tell me once again, dear mother,
Ere you take the parting kiss
VIII the angels bid me welcome
TO that world of perfect bliss,
