The reconstructed Union has come to
be generally accepted. Other feelings
than that OF suspicion have been
aroused towards the Southern people.
Sympathy, pity. and o generous admi-
ration for some Of their traits under
their severe triale, have entered into
the Northern heart. The one powerful
Motive that induced q large portion of
the North to bear with the many faults
of the Republican leaders has been re-
moved. and on Tuesday, November 8,
probably 250,00O voters quietly left its
ranks, and, for the time being, ranged
themselves under the banner of their
late opponents! Here is lesson for
the so-called Republicans in the South
ern States, in tho feelings attributed
to the Northern Republicans. Radical
bitterness and insolcnce towards the
people here were modelled upon The
same feelings in their confreres North.
They only aped their betters Let
them follow and imitate them, also, in

EFFECTS OF FALSE TEACHGSu. No
thing could moro pointedly illustrate
the falsity Of the Radicul carpet bug
system of political ethics in the South
than the news which comes from
Montgomery, Ala, That many of the
negroes there have been going about
selecting new masters, under the i'm
preston that, as cons quence of the
late Democratic victories, they are to
be again forced into slavery. No doubt
many of the poor creatures, whose Sim.
plicity has made them tho ready tools
of unscrupulous political pretcnders,
not only believed the story that had
been breathed into their credulous
ears before the election, bn were
really willing rather to surrender their
liberty to respectable men whom they
could trust, than subject themselves
again to the mastery of the treac&erous
and worthless demagogues of a party.

endeavor to re-assure them. They will
soon learn, however. that they are not

A LETTER FROM ASHLAND.
A VOTER.

EDITORS CHRONICLE We are just
in the midst of second deluge on a
reduced scale. Harpeth river, Syca-
more and Marrow-Bone creeks are
higher than they have been for thirty
years. The destruction of property is
fearful; nearly all the fencing around
the bottoms have been swept away.
So sudden and unexpected was the
rise that the farmers had no time to
remove their fences. We understand
that at least one mill (Wm. Cagle's 81
has been washed away, which falls
heavily upon its owner, as it had just
been started, and had not run long
enough for him to realize anything by
way of profits to reimburse him for the
outlay in building it.
This rainy spell carries US back to
last spring, when Capt. Jenkins, of
this county, ordered plows to run by
water, and in order to let your readers
know how the rain served us last
spring, [ will give you copy of a notice
that was stuck up on the Court House
door, in the midst of the high water
of last summer. The notice will ex-

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

As it seems to be pretty well settled
in political circles that the Democratic
candidate should be taken from West
Tennessee, l take the liberty to second
the recommendation of the public
newspaper published in Paris, Tenn,
in favor of Judge James Porter for
Governor of Tennessee. He was a
member of the late constitutional con-
vention which framed our present con-
stitutiOn, and is now the Circuit Judge
for the District of which Henry county
is part. From a personal knowledge
of Judge Porter's conciliatory temper
and acknowledged qualifications for
the Office of Governor, | have no
doubt he would make a more success
full race than any man who has been
presented to the public in connection
with that Office He is fine lawyer,
an honest man, an impartial and incor-
ruptable Judge. just now, when
great efforts are being made to harmon
ize the people of Tennessee and to Sc
lect the best men for public trust, there
is peculiar fitness in selecting Judge
Porter for our standard bearer in the
approaching election. Having been
nearly all the time since the war on the
judicial bench, he has been removed
from the angry conflicts in which almost
every other prominent man in the State
has been involyed-conficts growing
more or less out Of the civil war
through which we have lately passed.
He is free from party luminosity, and
lives in peace and charity with the
world. These characteristics of tenn
per united with great qualifications for
office have brought him prominently
before the people as one in whom they
could trust their dearest rights in any
emergency. tits gratifying to see there
is an era ofgood feeling and of brother
ly kindness about to dawn upon the
State. There is just now no bitterness
of feeling, no uncharitable construc-
ton of motive, among our politicians
certainly less than usual The
whole drift of public sentiment tends
towards peace on earth and good will
towards man. Our true policy should
be, therefore, to present candidate
for Office who has passed through the
reign of party animosity without being
embittered by participation in the
strife, who is willing that dead issues
shall sleepquietly in the grave to which
they have passed, without wishing to
drag them forth from their slumber
to fret and harrass the public mind in
its present comfortable repose.
Let Democrats feel they have a can
didate who is true to their time hon
ored principles, and let the conserva-
tive Republican masses feel every as
surance that We have presented a can
didate in the person of Judge Porter,
who is worthy of the Office and of their
support, one who has been presented
by his friends because of his qualifica-
tons, and because he is exempt from
the rancor and bitterness of party ami
mostly, and my word for it, he will
draw support from every conservative
element, and be triumphantly elected.
Yours &C.,

reflections.

Our correspondent who signs him
self, /" A Voter" suggests thatthe Au-
gust electionday, for county officers,
be adopted as the day for primary
election Of Candidates for Governor,
Congress and county representatives.
If our party in the county-we mean
the opposition to Radicalism = is SO
hopelessly demoralized and disor-
ganlzed that convention will notsub-
serve the purposes of harmony and
victory, we know of no substitute, ex-
cept primary election, and no better
time, or mode of arriving at public
sentiment, than the time and manner
proposed. But will this plan, any
more than convention, silence dis
appointed ambition? We think not
the same charges of fraud can be
urged, with equal truth and force,
against the one as against the other
not that they have any intrinsic force
and truth, in either case, but because
the voice Of the demagcgue is potent
with people who allow others to think
for them, or who will not surrender
personal preferences to save them
selves or others from the worst evils
of corrupt misrule.
Will the plan proposed secure the
acquiescence of the Independent? 1t
did not, in the last general election
which resulted in the disastrous tri-
umph Of the Radicals, in the relations
of the State to the Federal govern
ment. Perhaps it may not. perhaps it
will. We have an abiding faith in the
efficacy of sober second thought
and, knowing that some of the best in
tellects of the State were hurried into
momentary error, by the ingenious
cutlery of demagoguism against the
Convention system of party govern
ment, we indulge the hope, that the
large majority of those thus misled,
taught by the experience of the
past two years, and ashamed of the
Radical delegation they elected to Con-
gress, from this gallant southern State,
will repudiate their dependent indie
pendence, and come back, with re-
newed, patriotic zeal to the support of
the convention system as indispensable
to the success of party organization.
Could we know that this hope is well
founded, we would suggest a conven-
ton to nominate candidates for both
the August and the November cleo
tons, but our knowledge of the past,
with the bitter experience it brought
US, makes us more distrustful of the
signs of the times, and more difiident
of our capacity to interpret them.
Hence our hesitation, as to which is
wisest, the recommendation of con-
ventlon in both cases, or a primary
election, for the November candidates.
We hesitate, not for want of fixed
opinion on the subject, but because we
earnestly desire victory for the oppo-
sition to Radicalism, and cannot, from
the Babel confusion, of two years ago,
eliminate the true status of the then
opposing factions, nor determine the
best mode of uniting all hearts, though
we cannot reconcile all opinion. We
submit the question to the people, and
invite expressions of opinions from all
| parts of the county.

We had occasion last week, to deny
emphatically, the charge that we apollo
gized to the merchants for our adyoca-
cy of the Grange movement. The
charge is renewed this week, and ex-
tracts are taken from the CHRONICLE
of August 23d, 1873, to make good the
charge. Below. we republish the ar
ticle entire, and defy honest and intel
lgent criticism to detect anything
bearing the semblance of an apology
to the merchants. If there be anything
In the article that can be tortured into
an apology, it is made to the Oranges,
and is to be found in the declaration
we made, that if anything we had said,
authorized an inference different from
that intended to be conveyed by the
Chairman of the National Executive
Committee, the fault is ours, not that
of the Oranges. With these introduce
tory remarks, we submit what we said

OUR correspondent, Montgomery,
urges. with force, the claims of Judge
Porter, of Paris, to the next Governor
ship of Tennessee. Knowing the ca
pacity of the writer TO estimate the
moral and intellectual qualifications of
those with whom he may have formed
an ac1uaintancc. We would be content
to act upon his sound judgment, in the
matter of the fitness of man for high
Office; but, as we have before said, our
candidate for Governor, must be the
nominee of properly constituted
Convention. We are for harmony of
opinion and unity of action, and if West
Tennessee claims the candidate, its
people should make a better showing
Of unanimity in his section. 1t cannot
expect the other Divisions of the State
to risk the election with a leader who
lacks the endorsement of his own sec
ton. They should first agree upon
the man they are willing to support,
and then present him, with the assur-
ance that West Tennessee will give
him the strength of the party.
