FROM OUR rpECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
+ NASHVILLE, Noye9ber 1. The
: Union ant ImcricoH sustains the res
olutiou declaring Henry Cooper ineii-
gible as United States Senator. This
looks as if Il serious contest on the
question was contemplated. The
points made vauld be feasible if pre-
sented now for the Grst time, but they
have long since been formally decided
against by the Senate and House Of
/ Representatives at Washington. Leay-
ing out of the question all other views
CT the subject, Tennessee came into
the Union, and her Constitution was
framed long after tie adoption Of the
Federal Constitution, and il Is not her
province to superadd TO the qualiica-
tons prescribed by it for Senators and
Representatives.
Andrew JOhnsOn's nomination by
the Conservatives Of Greene county
f2r the Convention, will cause the
usa of his influence to hurry Up the
GjlI IN tie Senate, 50 that he may
o, ~ty resume a lie; separated from
,,,,i,b ia is restless ana discontented
f., The NqBFeaiion, he will make an
ot,,rt IA ra- IUfe himself as q leader by
a prominent championship Of the most
popular reforms. His future course,
whether one of war or Cancellation, (
will, no doubt, lie foresSadowed at the
bauquet it is understood he IS to give (
Friday night.
The third-party movement 10 sob F.
stitute the National Democracy, has /
considerably weakened by the attach (
ment of the elements which combined I
to defeat johnson, to their previous
association. As the Democrats who
supported johnson agree with those
who opposed him on every other
question, they are naturally resuming
their former relations. This, OF
course, includes OI-dLiue Whigs, Con
servatives, and all who have, since
the war, acted with the Democratic
party; SO that opposition to proscrip-
tive radicalism, hereafter, viii notim-
pair Democratic organization, but viii
work with it in harmonious move

The CoOpers, as they are called here
that is the Senator from Bedford and
the Senator from Davidson, the latter
United States Senator-elect-are not
squaring what is believed 10 have
been understood in the late election
rs the exact mark on the Convention
bill. On Wednesday, Edward Cooper,
him OF the lachrymose eyes, moved a
restriction amendment, which was
carried by his and the United States
Senator-elects votes and both OF
them voted for Mr.. Nelson's substitute
dispensing with a Convention and
submitting 10 the people a franchise
amendment, and an amendment
granting the Legislature the pardon |
1 ing power in cases of Impeachment, /
which did not carry. This would /
leave in existence many of the abuses /
which it is hoped the Convention will !
wipe out. The amendment Of Mr.. |
Ed. Cooper, which carried, imposing
Limitations upon the power of the
Convention, will, if the Convention
deems its functions eurtailed by any
such restrictions, establish principle
/ in the Government of this State which
does away with all pretense or ac-
acknowledgement of a popular basis in
its form. The people will be nowhere,
and the Legislature will be the great
big thing above and beyond the people,
aud the agencies by which they created
| it and gave to it whatever OF iifs It has.
