THE CONVENTION OF YESTERDAY.
Amid the multifarious duties which the
presence of the convention has deyolved
upon US, we can find little time to
write of it as we would desire We refer
our readers to the full and accurate re
port presented elsewhere in our columns.
1t is sufficient to say that it was numer-
Gus, enthusiastic, harmonious and repre-
sentative of the true people of Tennessee.
10 was composed Of some Of the ablest and
best menin the state, nobly inspired, and
met in council for the common good. The
discussions of the preliminary meeting
were conducted with amenity and de-
corum; its conclusions were reached
without difficulty and aequieseed in with
complete unanimity; and its public pro-
ceedings were digniGed, and worthy of
the great objects it assembled to pros
mote
Its manifesto Of principles is brief, but
candid, comprehensive and catholic In
fitting and appropriate terms, it declares
for the constitution, and the Union under
it; for peace and civil law as against strife
and military tyranny; for economy and
honesty as against extravaganza, pecula-
lation and burdensome taxation; for JUS
tice as againt unjust and odiOus class leg
islation; and for all and equal rights to
all men under the 8gis of American citi-
zenship.
BY this sign, and under the compact
organization which the chivalric and in
vincible Etheridge. will incite, the Con-
servatives 90 forth with high hopes Of
checking the destructive career of Radi-
calism in Tennessee; and Of presenting to
President johnson a result in August,
which, while it will not be more cordial
than the resolution approving his official
course, will be more substantial sup.
port in his great duty of defending the
integrity ofthe government; and one, too,
which will thrill wi tn delight the patri-
otto heart Of the nation

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
senate-Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-In the Senate
the President appointed Messrs. Buckalew,
Anthony and Trumbull, a special commit
tee on Mr.. Buekalew's resolution relative 10
reports for the press.
Mr.. Fessenden called up Mr.. Anthony's
motion to extend the time for adjournment
to tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Sumner moved to substitute Thurs
day.
Mr.. Howe maintained that if the Presi-
dent sent improper nominations, that the
Senate could not confirm, and if offices were
left open, the President was to blame.
Mr. Cameron believed that the President
did not intend sending here none but the
worst men for offices, and he was willingto
adjourn to-day, and have the responsibility
on the President.
Mr.. Chandler wished to correct the mis-
apprehension that copperheads and traitors
would be confirmed, as intimated by several
Senators.
Mr.. Fessenden was not aware of such
intimation till the present remark of the
Senator from Michigan. He supposed the
Senator would name them.
Mr.. Chandler replied that he alluded to
the Senator
Mr.. Fessenden said that he repealed the
remark with the contempt and scorn it de-
served. He argued that it was the duty of
the Senate to stay here till all the vacan-
cies were filled, and said that he had never
made such remark as he had been charged
with.
Mr.. Chandler said he had followed Mr..
Fessenden as his leader, but he now desired
to state that he would never vote to confirm
copperheads and traitors.
Mr.. Drake did not consider it the duty
of the Senate to stay here to act upon re.
peated nominations who had been repeat
eddy rejected.
Mr.. Davis claimed that from the COM
mencement of the government till now, the
President always had right to nominate
whom he pleased, provided they were
competent and honest but a new era had
been insisted upon here, that all nominees
should be radical Republicans.
Mr.. Yates dissented from the views of
Mr.. Davis, claiming that as the Radicals
were triumphant in the elections, their
Offices should be filed by such persons.
The Senate passed resolution to adj
journ on Thursday at four o'clock, and
then went into executive session.

WASHINGTON, April l6.-After the Sem
ate had to-day voted to go into Executive
session, Mr.. johnson rose to introduce a
resolution, but it was declared not in order.
Owing TO the fact above stated the resolution
it Is said recites various points in Mexican
affairs, and concludes with an expression
somewhat in the way of an appeal to the
Liberal government in behalf of Maxi
milan and his army, should they fall into
the hands of the troops of that republic !;
in other words seconding the efforts Of the
Executive in the same direction.

THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICr-D. II. THOMAS ENDORSED

The delegates from the sixth Congress
sional district TO the general convention at
Nashville, on the 10th, met at the st. Cloud
Hotel, and adopted the following resolu-
tons:
Resolved, That We consider the high
handed manner in which the Hon. ID. B.
Thomas was deprived Of his seat as Con-
gresham elect from our district, as a shame
ful disregard Of public sentiment, and that
the chiyalric spirit with which he has
borne the infection, challenges our highest
admiration.
Resolved, That we recommend him TO
the people Of the district for reelection, as
the true exponent of their political faith.
Resolved, That copy Of these resoln-
tions be sent for publication, to the Nash-
Vile UNION AND DIsPATcH, and BaaHeT

THE HENDERSON AND
NASHVILLE RAILROAD.

From an Evansville exchange we per-
ceive that General j. T. Boyle, the ener>
getic President of this important railroad
enterprise, is pushing matters vigorously
on the Ohio river and the northern Sec
ton of the projected road. On behalf of
the company, he has offered liberal pro.
positions to Evansville and Henderson,
and also at points intermediate of the
latter city and the rich coal fields on the
route of the road At Henderson, the
stock originally subscribed was increased,
almost without dissension among the tax
payers, and from the tone Of the papers,
we infer that the proposition to tie people
of Evansville will be accepted with equal
promptness. These proposals are SUBJ
stantially the same as those suggested to
this city, as the Southern terminus, few
months since A deep interest has been
excited along the line in regard to the
construction of the road; and so far as
regards that portion of it north Of the
halfway point to the Ohio river from this
city, there is little doubt that it will soon
be in process of construction.
1t behooves the people of Nashville to
be astir in regard to their railroad con-
nections We counsel no rash and ven
turesome appropriations, and we are es-
peeially opposed to burdening the city
credit at the present time. Our people
are groaning with taxation, and property
cannot stand much more imposition. But
we are in the world, and must keep a
sharp lookout about us. The wisest ecOnO-
my sometimes demands additional outlay.
Retrenchment may 60 blind and fall
ure to expend judiciOusly, as to time and
place, may involve the loss of expenditure
already made. The merits of every
scheme should be thoroughly discussed
and we trust that when the corporation
of this road present themselves in Nash
vile again, they will come prepared with
the facts and figures, and give our citi-
zens an exact, candid and comprehensive
statement of all matters that will enable
them to exercise an enlightened Judgment
in regard to the subscription solicited
We have confidence that the company
are honest, and we know that they are
energetic. We have faith, also, that the
road will be built; and it is certainly de-
sirable that Nashville should have stock

SENAToRsFROM BEDFORD AND MARSHALL.
The delegates from these counties to
the State convention yesterday, after the
adjournment met and recommended to
the people of the Senatorial district of
Marshall and Bedford, Joseph H. Thomp-
son, Esq, of Shelbyville, as their choice
for State Senator. 10. Thompson is one
of the first men of his age in his or any
other district of the State He was for
the Union throughout the late struggle
He is now for constitutional liberty in the
Union preserved. He will not only make
an able and faithful Senator, but will be
an important accession to the Legislative
councils of the State He ought to have
no opposition, and would not if worth
and merit alone controlled in the selee-
ton of political servants.
