REsoLUTIOs TSDoRsTSG THK PRESIDENT.
The resolution Of Mr.. Williams, reported
back from the COMMITTEES on Federal rela-
ions, indorsing the administration Of tina
President, was taken up. 1t is as follows
WHEREAS, It is right and proper to eoun-
teraet the effects Of Misrepresentation, and
with the object Of restoring harmony, aud
the national unity, that just and correct
expression should be made Of the numerous
opinions Of the members Of this General As
sembly, in relation to his Exceliency, the
President Of the United States, and his sd
ministration therefore,
ResotUed By the General Assembly Of tae
State Of Tennessee, That we have implicit
confidence in the honesty, integrity, and
patriotism OF Andrew Johnson, President Of
The United States, aud that we cordially ap-
prove ahd endorse the policy Of his admin
istratiou.
Mr.. Carter, the mover, asked that they be
made the special order for the first Monday
in December.
Mr.. Hood was opposed to the postpone
ment. He thought it looked as if it was
" now you see it, and now you don't see it,
Mr.. Arnell said he would not object 70 the
pcstponement.
Mr.. Hood still opposed the postponement.
He was ready to support the administration
through thick and thin.
Mr.. Williams said that q wrong impress
sion had gone forth, and that is, that the
House had refused 10 ind0rse the President,
and ne had offered his resolution to DO away
with that impression. Nevertheless, he ia
vored the pOstponement nov.
Mr.. Steele was for endorsing the Admin
istration, snd could see no reason for its
Postponement. All can vote as intelligeutly
now az at a future time. The policy Of the
President was well known, aud could be
Endorsed by all.
Mr.. Garner said that no man knew the
policy Of the President.
Mr.. Waters, Of Madison, favored the post
ponement till members could sec what Con
gress would do.
Mr.. Mullins said the Administration had
been Endorsed sufficiently. We had indorsed
it as far as matters related to Tennessee,
The franchise bill wss child Of the Presi- |
dent, and yet the member from Marshall |
(Mr. steele) had denounced it as uuconsti- |
tutioDal. Yet be would now indorse the |
President. He didn't like eleventh hour /
conversions.
Mr.. Williams Withdrew his motion to |
postpone.
Mr. Steele replied to the remarks Of Mr.. |
Mullins. He could not see she application i
of the gentleman's remarks. His views /
upon the franchise law was well known. |
He did not believe it constitutional, but had |
advised obedience 10 it till it was aunulled. |
The President Of the United States, as such, |
was not sn exponent Of the State laws and |
his individual opinion did not affect the ques-
tion. He feared that Mr.. Mullins would /
not support the resolution, and that he was /
taking this method Of "playing off,"
He had ever been friend Of the Pres-
dent and Of the constitution aHd the laws. /
He had never made speeches to rebel Com
gress, nor advised the youth Of the South 70
enter the rebel army.
Mr.. Mnllins-Nither have and he who |
says did, tells wilful lie.
AR. Steele made DO such charges l |
said never made such speeches.
Mr.. Doughty offered the following amend
ment:
RcsolUCd, further, That we spread upon
each page Of the Journal q resolution en-
dorsing the policy Of President johnson.
Mr.. Garner moved to indefinitely post
pOns the whole subject.
Mr.. Hood called for the ayes and noes.
The question was then taken, and the
subject was postponed, BY the following

COLOEIzkrioS.
The colonization resolutions of Mr.. Muir
ply, came up, on the motion Of the Commit
Zee on Federal Relations, for its postDone-
nent.
Mr. Murphy advocated the resolutions at
some length.
Mr.. Waters, Of Msdison, thought that the
attempt te throw out q slur on abolition
sis" was about played out. All men were
born free and equal, and the policy Of the
United States Will hereafter be in accord
ance with that theory. We must face the
music, and acquissce in the new order Of
things. II Southern people did not do this,
L would be forced on them. Therefore let
as come rightup 70 the mark, and give ne
gro his rights. No mau was free man,
unless he had all the rights pertaining 10
freedom
