Tennessee Rejects the Fifteentn
= = Amendment.

The Tennessee Legislature has re-
fused to ratify the proposed Fifteenth
amendment to.the Constitution of the
United States, by an overwhelming
majority. This was just and right, and
reflects the will of the people. The
people of Tennessee intend to guaran-
tee the blacks all that is claimed for
them in the proposed amendment, but
they do not recognize the right of any
other power to do it for them. The
war gave freedom to the negro and
his good and the peace of the country
demand that he also be clothed with
the privilege of the ballot-box, but the
18th amendment is subversive of the
principles of republican government
Indeed, 30 incompatible is it to othel
articles of the Constitution, that able
men maintain, that it will be null and
void even if it succeeds in being rati'
by the requisite number of States.

The State Convention.

The Legislature, after several weeks
delay, consumed in discussion OF ques-
tons already practically settled by
precedent and common sense, has
agreed to authorize the Governor to
call q convention of the people. The
election of delegates is to take place Oh
the third (3rd) Saturday in December.
the 18th, and the convention composed
of delegates chosen by the people at
this election, is to meet on the 10th of
January, the second Monday. The
number Of delegates to be elected is IS,
this number being compromise agreed
on by both Houses of the Legislature,
which viii give Maury County one
delegate and q floater in conjunction
with Williamson and Lewis counties.
The time allowed for canvassing on the
part ofcandidates for delegates is short,
and our people should go to work at
once, and call upon their best men to
run, and ask them to define their posi-.
tons on the leading questions to be sell
tied by the Convention. The old thread
bare saying that "the office should seek
the man." should in the present case
amount to something more than a
mere mockery; the people, in behalf of
the Office should select the ablest and
the best men we have. No restrictions
or limitations are placed on the action
of the Convention, and the people
must restrict any incorporate action
in the Convention by sending men
who will do all they can to defeat ex-
IRENE measures. Good men, without
abilities will not do any better than
able extremists; therefore we must Sc
lect two of our fellow-citizens who are
most eminent among us for statesman
ship, learning, conservatism and lib
srality.

Card from Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In response to the calls made upon me
through your paper, and to many per-
sonal solicitations, to become a candi-
date for the Convention, beg leave to
to say, that the responsibility of alter
ing and amending the fundamental
law of the State is so great, that am
very reluctant to assume it. could
only consent to occupy the position, in
obedience to the general wish of the
people. According to my idea of po-
litical duty, every citizen is bound to
give his services to his country, when
required by the popular sentiment, I'M
less it should involve too great a per-
sonal sacrifice.
Having received such evidences of
the wishes of the people of Maury, as
satisfy me, that there is a general de-
sire, that ] should represent them i'm
the Pictorial District, composed of the
counties of Williamson and Maury,
and having learned from a number of
the citizens of Williamson, that it is
expected in that county, that the dele
gate would come from Maury, and that
the citizens of Williamson are disposed
10 concur in soliciting the candidate,
who may be satisfactory to the people
of Maury county, / feel justified in au-
thorizing you to announce my name,
as q candidate to represent this Flote-
rial District. 1t is proper, however for
me to add, that if should find, that
my information as to the sentiment in
Williamson county is incorrect, and
that the people of that county desire to
be represented by some other person,
will afford me real pleasure to with
draw my name. Whilst ] am fully
satisfied, that our Constitution requires
to be altered and amended i'm a few of
fits most important provisions, am SO
diffident of my ability to make the
necessary alterations and amendmenfs,
that would cheerfully decline the
honor and the responsibility of the po-
sition in favor of any one, who may
be regarded by the people, as better
qualified to discharge its duties.
Very Respectfully,
