In an Interview last night with commit
tee OF TenneSseeans, indicated clearly that
Brownlow would not be al wed to thless-
ly trample down the rights of q helpless mi
nority in Tennessee in the Presidential cleo
ton. The President pointedly referred to
that clause of the Constitution forbiding
states maintaining an army in time OF
peace, rs well rs the action of Congress in
u,
and assured the Tennesseeans that all legftl
innate powers would be used by him to se-
cure iinpartinl action in that and other
Southern States.
The President freely discussed the politi-
cal situation; he said those who held him as
lukewarm in the contest, knew nothing of
his nature. His heart beat in union with
those who were fighting for constitutional
liberty, and no one more earnestly desired
the success of Seymour and Blair. The tide
had set In against Radicalism, and Grant
