The Read to Victory !

We, the Conservative Union men Of Ten
nessee, adopt the following platform Of prin-
ciples:
1st We are IN favor of the Union of the
States under the Constitution Of the United
States, and pledge ourselves to support and
maintain the same
ID We are the friends of peace and civil
law, and that these great obj ects can be best
promoted by legislation recognizing equal
and exact justice to all-exclusive privileges
to none.
Sd. We are in favor of immediate reste-
ration of our disfranchised fellow-citizens
to all rights, privileges and immunities of
full and complete citizenship.
4th That our colOred felIow-citizens, be-
ing now citizens of the United States and
citizens of the State of Tennessee and voters
of this State, are entitled to all the rights
and privileges of citizens under the laws and
Constitution Of the United States and Of the
State of Tennessee.
9Th. We are opposed to the reputation Of
| the national debt; and are in favor of equal
taxation, as the proper method of paying the
same.
9th That the establishment of standing
army In our State in time Of peace, is a fla
! grant and dangerous encrOachment upon
the rights and liberties of the citizen;
| heavily oppressive to the taxpayer, and evi-
IDENTIFY designed to overawe voters at the
| ballOtbOx.
7th We cordially approve Of the patriotic
/ efforts Of Andrew johnson, President Of the
! United States, in defending the Constitu-
| ton, preserving the Union Of the States, and
maintaining the supremacy Of the laws.
