The canvass for the Legislature
is beginning to open in West Ten
nessee. The Paris Intelligencer of
the Goth inst, says:
1.-THE four candidates for Representa-
tive in the next Legislature for this
county, Mr.. Mcdonald for the Senate,
and Col. Roach, of Carroll county, for
Floater, addressed the citizens of Nays
Vile last Saturday. They all spoke in
favor Of giving the ballot to the new dis
franchised of our State with one excep-
ton. DIR. Cravens' position on the suf-
lraCe question we do not understand, but
as far as our information goes, we do not
hesitate in pronouncing him a Stokes
Radical During the course Of his re-
marks Col. Roach dealt some heavy
blows at the railroad rings and school
fund robbers. Although making this
race as a Republican, and endorsed by
the Republican convention of this hOte-
rial district, he took broad and liberal
views, sof the political situation, and
spoke in withering terms of the hide
bound and proseTiptive policy of the
Radical rule in Tennessee. He is in
favor of the immediate call of a cOnVen-
ton Of the people of this State and to
so alter, amend or abolish the present
constitution that every man can walk
boldly up to the polls and deposit his bal
lot like a freeman. He is opposed to
leaving that question to the Legislature
and says it is d political dodge of those
who favor 1t to continue the white men OF
Tennessee some years longer in slavery.
F. Col. Roach, who takes so bold
and decided ground in favor Of re-
storing to the white men of Ten
ncssee the highest right of citizen
ship, Of which they were deprived
for political purposes, is member
of the Stokes Central Committee.
1t is noticeable that he is in favor
of convention TO assemble with
out unnecessary delay, to remove
the restrictions imposed upon the
white taxpayers of the State, and
that he is opposed to leaving this to
the Legislature, which he charac
.erizes as dodge to continue the
white men of Tennessee some
years longer in slavery. He thus
"Hios directly in the teeth'' of the
policy ADVOCATED by Stokes. twill
be remembered that Stokes advo-
Gates a convention to amend the
constitution so as to confer upon
the Legislature authority to remove
by a two-thirds vote the disabhi-
ties of those who may petition for
such removal. That is to say,
Mr.. Stokes wants the white men
of TENNESSEE, who pay about nine
tenths of the taxes necessary to
meet the expenses of the State gov
eminent, to take their hats under
their arms, and in the most obseqa'-
Gus manner, confess to the Legisla-
ture that they have been Rebels;that
they sought to destroy the govern
meat or sympathised with those
who did that they forfeited Their
r5rbts as citizens of the State that
they were Justly punished for their
transgressions; and that they now
humble as the most abject slave,

ture, upon the humble petition Of
disfranchised, while the other APP
parently favors the Immediate re-
storation of every man to the rights
Of which he was deprived for poll
teal purposes. We have con-
trasted the position of the
organ with that of the candidate.
to show that the sentiment of Mid
die Tennessee is decidedly against
the Stokes position, which is to call
q convention to authorize the Legis-.
lature to remove the disabilities in
such, way as not to endanger the
hold of the Radical party on the
power and Offices of the State, That
| is the position that Stokes has advo-
Gated in all the ultra Radical coun-
tiesin East Tennessee. h4!L2 $3.50
We may remark here, that while
Coy. Senter has endorsed the posi-
ton of Gov. Brownlow in favor Of
-enfranchisement, he has gone
much further than Brownlow, and
has repeatedly. pledged himself,
if elected, to recommend to
the Legislature the calling of a
convention to srestoren the rig ht
of voting to every white taxpayer
in the shortest possible time. 1t is
simple justice to GovTSenter to say
that we believe he will carry Out
this pledge in good faith. b5Eia

OUR RADICAL CONTEMPORARIES
THE PRESS AND TIMES.

THE PRESS AND TIMES. :
A few days since we said: "The
Press and Times hopes that we will
practice no concealment, or play
any double-haHded game in the
presentpolitica struggle. We can
assure it that we have nothing in
the world to conceal, and have
neither inclination nor motive to
deal double. No one who has been
reading the UNION AND AMERICAN
can say that at any time, we have
spoken with two voices, or that our
private counsels have conficted
with our public, advice" To this
the Press and Times of the 25th
inst. responded as follows:
"All right Only il did sound little
strange for you to say you had received
two POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS, in the
suggestions of which you concurred, but
did not think it fitting to present them
Just now. Still we give you the full bene-
fit of your disclaimer, and are entirely
willing to admit that, as a general thing
no one can truthfully accuse the USIoN
AND AMERICAN of dishonesty or double
handed dealing" .t.
