PLATFORM or THE TEENESSEE
DEMOCRACY

let. The Conservative men of Tennes-
see, putting aside all questions decided
by the war, accept the title OF Demo
Gratis and formally unite themselves
with the Democratic party as it now
exists.
81. The question of the right Of q
State to secede from the Union has been
decided by arms, and that decision
should be accepted IS final and cOnclu-
sive.
81. Nevertheless, while the Constitu-
ton makes the Federal Government su-
preme, Il is SO only with well defined
limitations and restrictions, leaving the
States large rights and powers over their
domestic concerns, and making them CO.
equal in respect OF such rights and
these rights have not been impaired by
the result Of the war, or the powers of
the General Government aggrandizeG
by il, to the enlargement of public
liberty.
4th. The -extinguishmeut OF African
Slavery is recognized as a fact, ratified
by a binding Constitutional Amendment.
9th. The investiture Of negrOesWith the
right Of suffrage, by the Congress OF the
United States, ana the Acknowledgement
OF white men, by the same authority, is
q gross usurpatiOn OF power, and policy
unjust, unwise and oppressive, and tend
ing TO excite war OF races: the white
men of America are entitled to superb
ority and supremacy in the sdministrs-
ton Of the Federal and State govern
ments; and any measure intended to
deprive them of it, or to divide or impair
ii, greatly endangers the peFpetuity of
free republican institutions.
9Th. The faith OF the nation is pledged
TO the payment of the national debt,
according 70 the terms of the laws under
which the bonds were issued, and not
otherwise. The time Of payment of the
bonds ought not to be extended the
principal of the five-tWenty bonds ought
10 be paid in currency, and the money
granted to the National banks to be with
drawn.
7Un. The Government bonds should be
taxed in the hands Of the bondholders, |
equally with other property.
Sth. The doctrines and practices Of the |
Radical party, which endesvors, BY en- |
crOsching upon the powers Of the Execu- |
tive and Judicial branches of the Gov /
eminent, to absorb in the Legislative |
Department all powers, tend to the de- |
struction of the Republican system of |
Government and the civil liberties Of the
people.
Oh. Equal and exact justice to all men,
OF Whatever State or persuasion, relig-
ious or political; peace, commerce and
honest friendship with all nations; en-
tsngliDg alliances with none; the sup
port Of the State Governments in all
their rights, as the most competent ad-
ministratiOn of our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwark against anti Re
publican tendencies; the preservation Of
the General Government in its whole
constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor
OF peace at home and safety abroad
Jeslous care Of the rights of election by
The people and the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority.
10th. Andrew johnson the first choice
of the Democracy of Tennessee; but
their Delegates left free to unite 10 Sc
Iecting another as the candidate for the
Presidency.

NASHVILLE UNION AND DISPATCH.

NASHVILLE UNION AND DISPATCH.
For some reason this paper has not
been received at the APPEAL office for
some months. If dropped from the ex-
change list, it was through insdvertence.
As an exponent Of large section Of the
Democratic party, we consider it indis
pensable. It has certainly corrected
many gross Inaccuracies that interested
persons desired to interpOlste in the pro-
ceedings of the late State Democratic
Convention. Our heart is with it in the
Democratic cause, and we bear witness
to the candor and ability with which it
asserts its principles. We shall expect
to see its bright face once more, and
shall see that the exchange is properly
conducted.

chase and ,he nenocraen

Hamilton Smith, Esq, Of Connection,
Indiana, a college classmate of Chief
Justice Chase sui lifelong personal
friend, but most pronounced Democrat,
has recently published q letter, in which
he sccords TO that distinguished gentle
man the highest qualities of head and
heart, declaring that his selection as
candidate 4" would not be unacceptable
to US, and might, in this crisis of our ma
ton, draw to US, and to the side of law
and order and peace, enough of the old
Republicans to insure US, If not party
victory, at least, aud what Is OF greater
importance, the healing Of party and
sectional feuds, and the return Of our
former prosperity"
In all respects, excepting his free soil
doctrines, Mr.. Smith regards NJ. Chase
q Democrat. That he is politically hon
est he infers from his long Unpopular adj
yocacy OF abolition ideas; that he is per-
sOnalIy honest he iafers from the fact
that, the originator of greer backs, he
retired from the Treasury s comparative
iy poor man; that he IS wise ne infers
from the fact that greenbscks are not as
valUeIess as the Old Continental currency,
or the assiSuats OF the French Directory;
that he is above party platforms he in
fers from his decisions rs Judge, and
his rulings IS President OF the High
Court of Impeachment.
Hamilton Smith makes his case IS
strong as sophistry can weave it, but
will be non-suited. Chief Justice Chase
has no sort of chance with the Democ-
racy, although in Ohio he made bar
gain once, by which, with the addition
Of two AboIitionists, (all there were and
the Democratic members, he was elected
United States Senator; and afterwards,
by blending about $1,000 Abolitionists
with the NOthing party, he was
elected Governor of the State. In both
Instances he gave up all the minor posi-
tions to the sffiliAting party. He was
only concerned for Mr.. Chase, and cared
not what became of the other offices.

The following is said TO be the last
from Mr.. Vallandigham, who though
virtually laid upon the shelf, is about as

during the war made itself odiOus by
completely or sympathy with treason,

West who refused active support to the
war" would be followed 10y q con-

the ancient and rugged principles Of
Democracy. Absolute equality and tole-

who set with the Democratic party in
the coming struggle against Rsdicalism.

More HiIitnrx E1ousinrs.

On yesterday, we learn, Judge Mere
dith received q summons to appear to-
day before Gen. Granger, the Federal
officer commanding this sub-district, to
answer a charge of Illegally naturaliziDg
foreigners in his court. We know moth
ing of the hidden influences which in
duced Gen. Granger 10 issue the sum-
mons, but il strikes Us as mOnstrous and
Absurd that he, a soldier, wholly ignorant
of the law, should undertake to decide
what is illegal or "illegaln in the
course of a learned Judge like Judge
Meredith, the purity OF whose life is only
equalled by his learning.
The above paragraph, which we copy
from the Richmond Enquirer, meets our
hearty concurrence. Judge Meredith,
the gentleman above referred to, is one
of the purest and most accomplished iur-
lists of Virginia. No suTer Indication OF
q want OF personal courage and manhood
could be afforded than by these sets of
wanton insOlence and insult offered by
military tyrsnts to gentlemen, the
Iatchet of whose shoes they are not
worthy to unlOose. It is not too much
to hope aud expect that for all these acts
these creatures will be some day called
to stern reckoning, and the day, we
believe, is not far off.-NatiO11al L7teUi-

Housekeeping in the Future,

Communities will be driven to organize,
as they do in Europe, to lessen the Iabors OF
of individual families by having some of
the present domestic tasks done out Of the
house
In France for example, no bousekeeper
counts either washing, ironing, or bread
making as part of her domestic cares. All
the family washing goes out to laundry;
and being attended to by those who make
that department of labor a speciality, it
comes home in refreshingly beautiful
order.
We in America though we pride our
selves on our Yankee thrift, are far behind
the French in domestic economy If all
the families of neighborhood should put
together the sums they separately spend in
buying or fitting up and keeping in repair
tubs, boilers and other Accommodations for
washing, all that is consumed or wasted in
soap, starch, bluing, fuel, together with the
wages and board of an extra servant, the
aggregate would suffice to fit up a neigh
borhood laundry, where one or two capable
women could do easily and well what ten
or fifteen women now do painfully and i'll,
and to the confusion and derang ement of all
other family processes Stone.
