In the successful candidate we have
man of national reputation, OF &C.
knowledged power; of whom it can be
said that he entered upon the discharge
Of his Presidential career by refusing
bTibe, and whose name is without stain
in this respect. His election also unifies
the Democratic party in Tennessee, and
renders it simply invincible, so long as
it practices common prudence and hon
esty. 1t also demonstrates to the world
that the bitter memories Of the war are
fading out Of the popular mind, and that
the Democratic party of this State are
willing TO let the dead past bury its
dead.

The result can have no other effect
than to heal the discords Of the recent
past, and guarantee immunity from
alterations that might have ensued but
for this fortuitous conclusion. Abroad
the effect will be still more significant
in national party sense. 1t puts for
ward, at a time when the anti-Radical
cause OF the whole country most needs
it, as representative Of the spirit of Ten
nessee Democracy, a nationalism that
must, with ringing emphasis, belle in
situations from desperate political enc"
mics, that sectional hate is the ruling
passion and eternal inspiration OF the
dominant sentiment of our State. Be-
yond the limits Of Tennessee the Demo-
cratic sentiment was propoTtionstely
more pronounced in favor Of the cleo
ton of Mr.. ohns0n. The tone Of the
Democratic press everywhere, north
and south %! US, indicated this appar-
entity enough.

Andre1 Johnson is not only an able
but a distinguished man. All his life
he has been in the public service. He
has filled the highest offices in the gift
of the people, and has been governor,
senator, Vice-PTesident and President.
His experience and knowledge OF legis-
lation and government would be OF
great value to the country, and probably
no man in Tennessee could be Of more
9service to the Democratic party.
Nashville Banner Interview
In response to interrogatOries pro-
pounded, Mr.. Johnson announced that
his policy should be to advocate perfect
unification of all the patriotic elements
of all parties to the aggressions made
upon the fundamental law Of the land.
He should place himself upon the great
constitutional principles enunciated and
interpreted by the great national De-
mocracy; that he should go to the senate
with no feeling of personal hostility to
any one, but with warmer affection
for and a more intensified devotion TO
the great landmarks that had been the
guide of his country through every or
deal through which it had heretofore
lassed, aud that he verify believed the
same spirit of concord and harmony
which Tennessee had manifested in the
recent struggle would be exhibited in an
equal, if not higher degree in all the
| States of the Union. ~ have,n said he,
"but few years to live, and God being
my helper, the balance of my life shall
be devoted to the weal and prosperity OF
! the country which / have loved from in
| fancy more than life.n
General Bate, accompanied by his
| first and warm supporter, Senator
| Hodges, called upon Ex-President John
/ son yesterday afternoon, shortly after
| dinner, and extending his hand, ten
dered his congratulations, and said: ~
| am frank to say, sir, that | am sorry
| you beat me, but | am equally sincere
| in expressing the hope that it Is best for
| the country" Mr.. johnson ackOwl-
/ edged the compliment, and said: 81
] ll.
! l can truthfully say that il l had to be
/ defeated, I know Of no man in the
I State whom | would rather have seen
bear off the Iaurels, sir, than you.
| thank you for the honor of this call"
| The room was crowded at the time, and
/ the lofty and dignified bearing of both
| elected the waTmest applause of all
present. 1t was q graceful aud mean
/ ing meeting of two distinguished men
/ and recent competitors, and it is well
| that General Bate did so nobly. He is
/ great in defeat as ne would have been in
| victory, aud his gallant and honorable
| bearing during and since the struggle,
4 have given him prestige that will be
/ hard to overcome IN 1875.
Knoxville Press aud Herald
/ The Democratic party of Tennessee
/ will draw a great breath Of relief this
I morning, Andrew Johnson has at
/ tanned his ambition, and for six years
! to come neighbor will not say to neigh
] bor in the faith, brother will not pro-
mound to brother in the same political
| household the inquiry, care you, or are
you not for Andrew Johnson" The
great principles Of our common faith
! will unite US as we move onward to tri-
umphant progress. And now begins
another chapter in one of the most
| eventfnl civic careers Of which history
! gives us any account. For six years
/ more Andrew Johnson will, if life be
shared him, figure upon the most con-
/ spicuous stage f American politics.
/ Should ne approve himself, as we cor
daily wish he may, worthy OF this
{ superadded honor, it will be a fitting
/ climax to the stoTmiest life in the his
tory OF politics.

( the next six years who, il ne does MOTH
ing else, will let the country know that
Tennessee has a senator in the Ameri-
can congress. Oar sister State is to be
congratulated on her selection.
Tst. Louis Democrat
Andy Johnson goes back to the SEN
ate, and by the aid of Republican votes.
The seat which he so hOnorably filed
wears ago, and from whic he uttered
Ihe most savage phillipics ever delivered
against Democracy, will once more be
occupied by that man, who Is probably
more hated than any other by the bour-
bons OF the south. johnson cannot be
expected to act with the Republicans
but it will be almost impossible for him
TO cooperate with such Democrats a.
nov represent the south 10 the senate
