In a letter dated August 18th, Governor Brown
low recommended that even larger delegations
than the above be sent from the State, and in
accordance with this suggestion conventions
have since been held, and from one hundred and
fifty TO two hundred more delegates appointed.
STOKES is native of North Carolina. His early
education was very limited, and the greater por-
ton of his life has been passed in the cultiva-
ton of the soil in his adopted State of Tennessee.
After serving twice as Representative and once
as Senator IN the State Legislature, he was
elected to the lower House of Congress in
1859, by majority of only 473 out of 1878
votes, over Savage, his Democratic competitor.
His course throughout the Rebellion was early
settled by his acceptance from President Lin
coin of the Colonelcy of a regiment of cavalry,
at the head of which he did good SER
vice to the Union cause. He was afterwards
elected to the present Congress, by majority
over his conservative competitors of 1000 out of
total vote of 7S4S, in a district which in 1861
gave, out of 1888 votes majority of 4957 in
favor of secession. On the Gath of july the
relations of Tennessee to the Union having been
fully restored by the ratification of the last Con-
stitutional amendment, Colonel Stokes resumed
his seat in Congress, and signalized the occasion
by the unhinching stand which he took upon the
question Of the modification of the test oath in
favor of Senator Patterson, the Presidents SON
in-law, declaring that he would rather freeze
in his chair" than vote to repeal or modify the
test oath in any particular. His name stands at
the head of the call for the Convention.
FOWLER is q native OF Ohio, but for the
past twenty-five years has resided in Kentucky
and Tennessee. He is a finished scholar, and
until his recent advent into the political world,
has devoted all his time and energies to the
cause of literature and education. He first went
TO Tennessee to take the chair of mathematics
in Franklin College, near Nashville. He has
also been admitted to the bar, and has engaged
at times in the practice of the law. In Septem-
ber 1861, he was compelled to make his escape
from Tennessee, getting out of the State on the
last train that made its way from Nashville to
Louisville, just previous to the capture of Bow
ling Green by the Rebels. He then resided for
a time in Springfield Illinois; but returned
to Tennessee a short time after An.
drew Johnson was appointed Mill
tary Governor. He was appointed Comp
tIoller of the State, but did not confne his
exertions to the organization of the financial
department alone. In re-establishing the State
Government in all its branches. and IN giving
shape and tone to healthy anti-slavery senti-
ment, he was one of the prime movers. He has
always been an anti-slavery man, and for this
reason has never proved recreant to the trust
reposed in him. On the 18th of April, 1864 he
was elected to the United States Senate tor the
long term which expires In 1871. Just previous
to the adjournment of the recent session of
Congress he was admitted to his seat, and took
the iron-clad test oath without such modi6ca-
tiOn as was necessary in the case of his col
league Senator Patterson.
