NAsHvmLE, June 2.-The Democrat
/ ic Convention met in Nashville, Hon.
Nell1 s. Brown, President, who spoke
at length. Hon. 81. S. Foote offered
resolutions, which were adopted. They
declare that it is the duty of the true
friends of constitutional liberty to sup.
port the Democratic cause; that the
| purposes and principles of Radicalism
are incompatible with our free institu-
| 1ons; that the late war originated in
the prevalence OF extreme opinions
and disregard of the line Of demarca-
ton between the Federal Constitution
and the reserved rights of the States
and people, and that to restore the Gov
ernment to the Democracy is the prop
er way to secure a return to the admi-
rable system of checks and balances
formerly existing; that the Convention
have confidence in the National Con-
vention to meet on the 4th OF Jnly, both
as TO candidates and platform, and
therefore express no opinion as to
either; that the Chicago platform pro-
poses to establish a permanent ine-
quality OF rights between the Southern
and Northern States, which cannot be
maintained except by military despot-
ism; that the Reconstruction laws of
Congress, IL enforced. aud an election
takes place for President in the South
ern States, 1t would be a shame and a
mockery, not entitled to the smallest
respect, and should not be allowed to
affect the result of the contest; that the
five-twenties and bonds bearing interest
in currency should be paid in green
backs; that the wrongs Of the dtsfEnn-
chised in Tennessee should be laid
before the National Convention: that
the Democracy sympathize with Presi-
dent johnson and regard his acquittal
as great and signal triumph of prin-
ciple. This declaration of principles is
the keynote OF the Democratic canvass
in Tennessee.
