20 sustain the Freedmens Bureau bill vetoed by the
President, and in the Union majority of the House
of Representatives, who support the same andtkin-
dred measures we recognize true and worthy repre-
centatves of the principles which saved the country
from the lato rebellion; and we tender such repre-
Sentatlves heartily the support and sympathy M our
selves and our constituents.
These resolutions passed the House by vote of IT

NASHVILLE, Feb. 23d,-The Union Convention has
adjourned after the passage OF resolutions declaring
the people ofTennessee are excluded from the bene-

that they are not sufficiently loyal to be admitted to
representation in Congress-
The delegates to this Convention place upon record
their united testimony against the truth of this i'm
putation. The people were never more sincerely
anxious for the preservation of good order and the
restoration of civil law earnestly united to
support and preserve the Union and the Constitution
against all assaults
They recognize the late amendment prohibitingi in
voluntary servitude part of the Constitution,
and will give that clause honest and sincere sup
port They are prepared to aid in aording to freed
persons of color such protection as shall secure to
them all their civil and political rights compatible
with the best interests of both races insisting how
ever that this subject belongs exclusively to the peo-
pie of the State and that has not been trans
ferred to Congress- that the citizens have right
elect representatives to Congress- and that Congress
cannot legally exclude them; that the people should
be relieved of the presence of the military authority
The resolutions also express hearty endorsement
and approval of the President and especially his re-
cent message relative to the Freedmen's Bureau.
