Proclamation by the Governor.
STATE OF TENNESSEE,
Eurr-rrr-p nrpanr,Tr.--
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 10, 1866.

NASHVILLE lennJ June ~, 1000.
To the Members Of the General assembly Of the
State of Tennessee
GENTLEMEN:--For more than five wears the State
of Tennessee has been deprived of her privileges in
the Union of our fathers. By the treason Of our
people we have fallen from our high estate as
member of the great American Confederacy. For
more than year past the loyal people Of the State
have been trying to place her in position and to
prove her worthy to be recognized and readmitt cd
to all her forfeited rights. Our Senators and Rep
resentatives have fingered for many months at the
Threshold of the Government asking to be reseaed
in the National Councils.
In view of the rebelous conduct of so many of
our people, and the treachery those who controlled
her action, Congress has deemed it necessary to
qure of certain conditions precedent guaran-
tees for future loyalty. To this end it has been
deemed necessary to the future security of the whole
country that the State Legislature should ratify
certain amendments TO the Constitution of the uni
ted States which may be briefly stated rs follows :
l. Equal protection of all citizens in the enjoy
ment of life, liberty and property.
,. That classes who are dlsIranchlsed without
crime shall not be taken into account in fixing the
basis of Federal representation.
s. That certain persons who have proved them
selves dangerous to the peace of the country shall
not be eligible to office.
4. The validity of the National debt shall not be
questioned while all debts incurred in aid of the
bellion are illegal and void.
As to the disloyal portion of our people these
terms mild in the extreme; and it is hoped that
there is nothing in them repugnant to the senti-
ments Of the loyal if there be, that all objections
will be yielded upon the altar of our common
country.
Therefore |, William G. Brownlow, Governor of
the State of Tennessee in consideration of the pre-
misses and viewing the present an extraordinary
OCCASION do issue this my proclamation converting
the General Assembly in extraordinary session to
consider of said amendments to the Federal Consti
tuition and do call upon the members thereof to
semble in the State Capitol on Wednesday, July 4,
1866, when and where the purposes for which they
will have been convened will be more fully stated
to them.
49,, In testimony whereof l have hereun-
( SEAL to subscribed my name and caused the
49, Great Seal Of the State to be affixed at
the Department in the city of Nashville, the 18th
day of June, 1866.
By the Governor, w. G. BROWNLOW.

Important Letter Called For.

4 Richmond correspondent Of the New
York Tribune calls for letter which he al
leees was written by Mr.. Lincoln to Judge
Campbell, the rebel eX-Secretary Of War.
He says:
l think that its very beginning contains
an admission that will startle the country
Mr. Lincoln wrote nearly as follows;
= doubt rhether I hare p0rer 0rerthe sub
ject of Reconstruction. l beIierc CONGRESS
has that p0uer. But / hare authority 0rer
C0nfScdttOnS." :
The rest is not recalled, but was substan-
TALLY statement of the terms already in
Dictated. If the words given are essential
ly authentic (and | see no reason to doubt
it. } then the notion which is supported by
the positive assertions of Mr.. Seward and
Mr. johnson, that "the President is only
carrying out Mr. Lincoln's views in recon
struction," is an entire error There is, be
sides, question of honesty on the part Of
the Government. Who keeps this sacred let
ter? Does Mr.. Stanton know anything
about it? Let us have it. One who had
the honor to read it remarked to the late
President, You were very careful in wri
ting this letter, Mr.. Lincoln II ras ner
er more careful IN my life, said Mr.. Lincoln.
The conduct of the President in suppress
ing other highly important State papers
gives too much color to the above suspicion.

The Conservative Party.

The most prominent member of the "Conscrva-
tive party of the North at the present time is Mr.
Valandigham, who has all his life been distinguish
ed for radiealsm of the deepest dye. Before the
war he a radical Democrat, and during its con-
tinuance he radical rebel of earnest character
that President Lincoln deemed it advisable to send
him to Richmond So it is with the majority of
Maryland Conservatives" During the war they
were radical in their opposition to the Government,
radical in their devotion to the Rebel cause radical
in their expression of their qualification at Rebel
victories and deep their at the collapse
of the Confederacy. They are mostly those who
are never conservative in anything, and are now
radical in their luminosity to Congress which is COM
posed of the representatives of the sentiment of the
victorious North. If the so-called Conservative
party of Maryland has any strength, it is by COM
bination with those who have been disfranchised
account of their radicalism in great work of rea
son, and it cannot be expected that any portion of
the loyalty of Maryland trust the new born con-
servatism of their colleagues.

The Johnson Union Club.

The Knoxville Commercial says:
We call on every sound Union man-every
Constitutional loving man-to come up and join the
johnson Union Club
1t is not surprising that the Commercial goes so
strongly for the johnson Union Club Report
says that that paper is kept up chiefly by substantial
assistance from Washington. Several months ago
the Presidents friends and associates were writing
letters from Washington to Knoxville, urging that
a Democratic paper must be started to counteract
the influence of the Knoxville Wing.
The New York Post takes off that gross impos-
ture and humbug, the National johnson Club very
handsomely, by giving the following expose of the
antecedents of its officers
Among the Executive Committee is Thomas
B. Florence person notorious during the war for
his violent and indecent abuse of Mr.. Lincoln and
Of the Union cause, in an obscure journal, the
Washington Constitution, which was the organ at
the capital of the Maryland secessionsts. Also JAS
G. Berrett, who IS best remembered as having been
for while an inmate Of Fort Lafayette. Among
the Vice Presidents are SALISBURY of Delaware
whose political record is known; Asa Packer of
Pennsylvania, who opposed the filling up of the
armies and the enforcement Of the CONSUMPTION
laws Augustus Caesar Dodge, of Iowa. who was,
we believe, during the war, threatened with arrest
for his violent and seditous conduct and noto-
rious as a bitter cOpperhead and peace man; Gen.
George w Morgan, who, after quitting the army in
disgust for some slight became the supporter of Val
landgham James Guthrie of Kentucky, who was
one of the Committee on Resolutions in the Chicago
Convention; W. b. Lawrence, Of Rhode Island; j.
E. Mcdonald, of Indiana, who is a defeated copper
head politician during the war; and at least seven
other persons who spoke wrote and voted in favor
of Mcclellan and Pcndeton, armistice and submits
sion, the last Presidential election, and whose po
litcal influence thus helped to protract the by
giving encouragement and fresh hopes to the rebels
"TO make this huge joke perfect, it needs only
that the World, which called Mr.. johnson drunken
sot, vulgar tailor, and ikened him to Caligula's
horse should be appointed the official organ of this
" National opperhead-Jo Johnson Club

NM w,cxs' CoNCERT.-Last week the Baptist
,,l,l ,os crowded by the lovers Of music, TO hear
,bo orrp.l concert of Mrs. Wicks. The room was
.os,oe,,Iv decorated with flowers and evergreens,
and the skill and taste displayed in the adornment
If the room led 10 hope for equal skill and taste
in the music. We were not disappointed At the
appoin ted time bevy of the bushing beauties of
Knoxville appeared on the platform. The color
danced their faces and many little hearts huttered
terribly at standing up in full sight of the large au-
dience. Now and then timid eye would steal down
among the audience and the sight of smiling frenos
seemed TO give assurance.
The first Chorus was a lively, spirited piece, wac
well received, and served TO put the young iaui's
more at their ease Miss Hazen fairly bfougn'uo"
the house on the song, Ring the Bell Waterman
The Duet by the Misses McClung was httle gem,
and was sung very sweetly. "Spring erecting
seemed 20 pease the audience better than anything
else in the frs, part of the programme, although
tho Dno,t between Misses Trigg and Mitchell, and
the ouar,ette-" Tap on the Window Pane'-both
came in for an unusual share OF applause. IL Is
very rarely that we have the pleasure of listening to
such an exquisite piece of music the Senate for
the violin with which the second part of the pro-
c-amme opened The movement in the scherzo
passage was especially beautiful, and was finally
rendered. The Quartette " Name in the Sand, was
thoroughly good music, and well sung. One of the
decided successes of the evening was simple little
air, " Come home, Father" in which the embaraSs-
ment of the little soois really added to the etec-
tiveness of the piece. The French Duet was finely
sung, and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience
Miss Boyds solo, LA Primavera," was of course
well sung and fully deserved the hearty round OF
applause It received The last Quintette was de-
cided success, the voices harmonized WELL and the
piece was sung with great expression
The performances on the piano were heard at
great disadvantage, from the fact that the instru-
ment, although in tune when the concert COM
menced, perceptiby fell in tune after each perform
ance so that under circumstances so discouragng to
the performers it is surprising that they were able
TO do SO well, and the praise awarded them by the
audience was we'll merited
Too much credit cannot be given TO the ability
and taste of the lady whose efforts have contributed
so much towards the musical culture of the per-
formers and enjoyment of the audience. We would
suggest that these concerts be made at least semi
annual.
