PLATFORM OF THE TENNESSEE



LIST, The Conservative men Of Tennes
see, putting aside all questions decided
by the war, accept the title OF Demo
crats,i and formally unite themselves
with the Democratic party as it nov
exists.
I'd. The question of The right Of 8
State to seeede from the Union has beeI
decided by arms, and that decision
should be accepted as final and eonelu'
sive.
81. Nevertheless, while the Constitu-
ton makes the Federal Government su-
preme, it 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 aggrandizea
by ii, to the enlargement OF public
liberty.
4th. The extinguishment Of African
Slavery is recognized as fact ratified
by binding Constitutional Amendment.
9Th. The investiture Of negrOeswith the
right Of suffrage, by the Congress Of the
United States, and the Cisfrsnchisement
of white nen, by the same authority, is
8 gross usurpstion of power, and apoliey
unjust, unwise and oppressive, and tend
ing TO excite 8 war OF races the white
men Of America are entitled to superb
ority and supremacy in the administers
ton of the Federal and State govern
ments; and any measure intended to
deprive them of it, or to divide or impair
it, greatly endangers the perpetuity 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
to be laid in currency, and the money
granted to educational banks TO be with
rRwn.
Tth. The Government bonds should be
taxed In the hands Of the bondholdersi
equally with other property.
Stb. The doctrines and practices Of the
Radical party, which endeavors, by en-
sroaehing 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-
struetion of the Republican system Of
Government and the civil liberties Of the
people.
9th. 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-
taDgling alliances with none; the sup
mort of the State Governments in all
their rights, as the most competent ad-
ministrstion of our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwark against anti-Re-
publican tendencies; the preservation Of
the General Government in its whole
yigOr, as the sheet anchor
Of peace at home and safety abroad a
Jealous care Of the rights OF election by
the people AMI 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 in Sc
lecting another IS the candidate for the /
Presidency.

CAN ONE ANNEsTIED VOTE FOR
ELECTORS.

CAN ONE AMNEsTIED VOTE FOR
ELECTORS.
Each State casts its own separate vote
for President, by the NUM- Der Of Electors
10 which it is entitled, these being zap
pointed in such manner as the Legisla-
ture may direct" 1t is not even neces-
sary that these should be elected by the
people. Their vote ia the vote of the
State, however they are appointed; and
none the less 50 because the vote Of each
State is equal TO the number of its Sens-
tors and Representatives in Congress.
The Electors being agents Of the State
10 cast her vote, those OF the citizens only
can vote for them, who are qualified
voters for other cases, by the laws of the
State. 1t is clear that none but citizens
Of the State can vote for them. A citi-
zen Of Virginia can vote only in Vlr-
ginia. II he happen to be in Ohio, he
cannot vote at all, for President and Vice.
President. A citizen Of the United
States who is not citizen OF any State,
cannot vote for Electors anywhere.
ia State can disfranchise part Of her
citizens, by requiring test-oath which
they cannot take, they can no more vote
for Electors than for members Of Con-
gress or Of the Legislature. It is quite
true that pardon restores the compe-
tency OF the party, and makes the offence
10 be IS il it had never been committed.
The Efafa hua NO s-sCLg d. ftsv.,-,,,-.4 a.. - a..
franchise him for that offence. or to con-
tinue the Acknowledgement before exist.
ing. Bat if it chooses to continue such
Rn outrage, and the courts sustain as
valid the law which disqualifies man
10 vote, when he has not been convicted
of the offence, by putting him to the
rack, as it were, by demanding OF him
an oath, the refusal TO take which is, and
lie TO operate as, an admission of guilt,
there is no remedy.
That is precisely what the Supreme
Court Of Tennessee did, in respect Of the
Franchise law. II held that every State
had right, by Its Legislature, to deter
mine who among its citizens should ex-
ercise the elective franchise. That was
true; but the Court evaded the real ques-
ton. No doubt a man naay be disfran-
chised for treason committed; but he
cannot be so unless his guilt is legally es- /
tabiished and that can only be done by /
trial and conviction, in. due course Of 4
law. The question was as to the mode
OF proof necessary; and that mode only
8 lawful and sufficient.
The Court also decided that a pardon
did not deprive the Legislature Of the
power of DISTINGUISHING for the offence.
That was a still grosser error, for the
reason, which no one oau deny, that the
pardon obliterRtes the offence with ALI
its consequences. 1t was committed
against the United States. II they par.
don it, no State can punish it, But still
il continues to be true that when the
highest court Of State has thus decided.
there lie absolutely no remedy whatever.
We do not see any reason to doubt that
no man can vote for electors who cannot
vote q. other elections and that in Ten
nsssee the disfranchisenaent is absolute.

srNAroRIAL RErlCENCE.

The New York Times Of the l4th says:
I'VE are glad to hear from Washington
that Senators have become remarkably
reticent as to how they intend to vote on
Johnsons case Anxious inquirers and
canvassers of yeas and nays are greatly
ANNOYED at their inability to furnish ac-
curate estimates Of the results of the
vote, and to exhibit complete lists of the
members who will vote on each side.
They can only arrange the two sides ac-
cording to political sentiment, previous
declarations and such daily indications
as can be found in the votes on such
questions as may come up. Of course
they are able to put down Sumner and
Yates and Nye and Chandler and some
others as sure to vote for conviction in
any event or after any proof, argument or
development But can they be ms posi-
tive about Fessenden and TrumbuIl and
Morton and Sherman and Ross Can
they feel at all sure of Anthony and
Sprague and Willie and VanWinkle IL
is sad predicament for those who are
anxious to know; but still we hope Sena>
tors will continue to be as reticent as
they can
The reticence iauded by the Times is
eminently proper. There are at least
twenty purblind partisans gangrened
with prejudice, and perhaps more, about
whom there is no question. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that a majority Of the
court have sufficient appreciation of the
delicate and solemn responsibility i'm
posed 10y their oaths as judges, to try the
case impartially, and to withhold their
opinions and intentions from becoming
bar-room aud Bohemian gossip If the
ordinary restrictions as to jurors could
be thrown around Senator'S until the
close of the trial, and the decision were
to be had by ballot instead Of Diea Doce
voting, the President would be acquitted
without doubt 1T the outside pressure,
and the party garote alone that viii Sc
cure his conviction.
