OPPOSITION 70 ExRANNx
Platform Of the Conservative Party
Of Tennessee.
Unanimously Adopted in ConVen-
ton, at Nashville, Tenn,
April 10, 1867.
The Road to Victory !

We, the Conservative Union men of Ten
nessee, adopt the following platform Of prin-
ciples:
lst. 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 objects 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 disfranehised fellow-citizens
to all rights, privileges and immunities of
full and complete citizenship
4th. That our cOlored feIlow-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 a 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 evil
IDENTIFY designed to overawe voters at the
| ballot-box.
9TH. We cordially approve of the patriotic
efforts Of Andrew johnson, President of the
| United States, in defending the Constitu-
tion, preserving the Union of the States, and
maintaining the supremacy of the laws.

THE SOLDIERS GRAVE.

Tread Hghtly-'tis soldiers grave.
A lonely, mossy mound
And yet, to hearts like mine and tbine
It should be holy ground.
Speak sOftIy-let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless est,
Escape your lips, where swsetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no reveille shaIlbeat
When morning bright shall come:
Fer him at night no tattoo rolls
Its thunder from the drum.
No costly marble marks the place.
Recording deeds Of fame.
But rudely on that bending tree
Is carved the soldiers name.
A name-not dear to us-but aht
There may be lips that breathe
That name as saoredly aud low
As fervent prayers at eve.
There may be brOws that wear for him
The mourning cypress vine;
And hearts that make this lsneIy grave
A holy pilgrim shrine.
There may be eyes that joyed to gaze
With love unto his own,
Now keeping midnight vigiIs long
With silent grief alone.
There may be hands now elasp'd in prayer
This soldiers hand has pressed,
And cheeks washed pale by sorrows tears
His own cold cheeks earessed.
Tread Hghtly-for man bequsathed,
Gre laid beneath this sod,)
His ashes TO his native land,
His gallant soul to God

In speaking of the nomination of Emer-
son Etheridge for Governor of this State, the
COrinth Weekly News says
Mr. Etheridge is far superior man to
Brownlow in every particular He has a
cultivated mind, cutting tongue, keen sar-
casm, and we expect to hear of him taking
the hide from the " old parson," and pouring
aqua fortis on the raw, and BrOwnlow will
squim, scringe and screw under the opera
tion, to the amusement of all lockers Oh
Etheridge's prospects for defeating the old
parson are.very promising, and the people
of that State will be relieved from the des-
potic rule that has crushed out their liber-
ties, and brought distrust and distress to
their State.

ANDREW JOHNSON.
The Indiana Military = rial Case.

The L. ). Supreme Court decided in the
case Of Milligan, in Indiana, in substance,
that Miiligan could not be tiled by a court
martial, because Congress had not author
lied such trial is law, but had expressly
provided for cases like his. a law authorizing
military arrest but civil trial, in States where
the courts were unobstructed and insurrec-
ton had not occurred; and that Congress
cannot consdtutionally authorize military
trials Of citizens Of States where the civil law
has not been interrupted. The dissenting
Judges, Chief Justice Chase and Judges
Swayne, Wayne and Miller, concur
in this ruling, except that they hold
that Congress can constitutionally au-
thorize military trials Of citizens in States
not in Instruction, and where the civil law
Is undisturbed, IN cases Of grave danger Of
disturbance, under its constitutional power
to provide for tie public defense and safety.
But the dissenting opinion holds that al
though Congress might constitutionally have
authorized the trial Of Milligan by a military
commission, yet Congress did not authorize
such trial, but expressly provided for his
civil trial hence that particular military
trial was illegal and avoid
1t is to be noted that the majority de-
eision apparently assumes that military
court sitting in Indiana could lawfully have
tried any citizen or residan, o. tie insurrec-
tionarY States-wlicl AIilligan was not.
The President, going further chan the
Court, holds that military trials Of citizens
cannot be held in States where the civil
law i- not n0'o Interrupted; and having by
proclamation declared the instruction a, an
end, be now dissol',s ali the military courts
