THE TENNESSEE UNION CONVENTION
ENDORSES THE PRESlHENT.

NASHVILLE, Feb 23.-The Union Conyen-
ton has adjourned, after the passage of reso-
lutions declaring the people OF Tennessee are
excluded from the benefits of the Union upon
the unfeunded assumption that they are not
sufficiently loyal TO be admitted to representa-
ton in Congress.
The delegates to this Convention place UPON
record their united testimony against the truth
OF this imputaton. The people were never
more sincerely anxious for the preservation Of
good order and the restoration of civil law, nor
more earnestly united to support and preserve
the Union and the Constitution against all as
saults
They recognize the late amendment prohibit
ing involuntary seryitude as a part of the Con-
sututlon. and will give that clause an honest
and sincere support. They are prepared to aid
in affOrding to freed persons of color such pro-
lection shall secure to them all their
civil and political rights compatible with
the best Interests of both races, in
sisting, however, that this subject be-
longs exclusively to the people of the State,
and that the same has not been transferred TO
Congress; that the citizens have n right TO elect
representatives to Congress, and Congress can
not legally exclude them; that the people
shoHld he relieved OF the presence OF the mill
tary authority.
The resolutions also express a hearty en-
dorsement and approval of the policy Of the
President, and especially his recent message
relative TO the Freedmens Bureau.

TIRE pRFSJDFNT,s SPEECH

The address OF the President TO the immense
concourse of citizens who waited upon him
yesterday to testify their appreciation of the
policy of the Administration is one of his most
forcible and treHchant efforts, and Will be read
with interest from one end of the country to
the other. He briefly defined that policy as
"intepded to restore the glorious Union of these
States to their original relations 70 the Gov
eminent of the United States.' For the accom-
plisbment of this end all true patriots should
be working. and all who oppose this coDsum-
nation are enemies of the Union, whether they
hail from the North or the South. There are
naturally differences of opinion as to the means
best calculated to bring about the desired re-
suit. The President brings TO bear upon the
question n lifetime experience amongst south
ern people and southern Institutions. His hon.
est and earnest devotion to the country, which
led to his never-to- be- forgotten defense of
the Union IN the Senate, still animates
him, and shapes every word and act.
What single utterance of his can be cited to
show that the unflinching stand he took in the
incipiency Of the rebellion, the one faithful
amid tTaitorous thousands, at a time when
sacrifices were required for the Union cause,
has ever been departed from! Is not his de-
test0uou of treason and traitors as plainly and
strongly expressed now as then! As he him.
self says:-.'l stand now as l did then, vindi-
eating the Union of these States and the Con-
stltution Of Ry country" Let every WELL
wisher Of his country pause at this iuncture
and consider carefully whether in abandoning
the Administration he is not deserving the
cause all loyal men have labored for during
the last five years. Weigh well the arguments
of President Johnson, and the result must be
the consolidation of 4 great and patriotic
Union party, standing between the opposing
factions OF the North and South: the first COM
posed of those who follow ali the idiosyncra-
ces of Sumner, Wade and Wilson, and the
latter of those disaffected southern spirits who,
for profit or patronage. or from inherent de-
pravity, are still laboring to keep alive the
smouldering embers of the rebellion
