cor.Y,TUTIoNAL CONVENTION.

The election in this county passeu VI
very quietly on last Saturday. Not a
single disturbance of any description oc-
Cured which might be regarded as not
GUS or lawless. The people exhibited
little feeling on the subjec- of voting re-
pardirg the election of our delegates and
Convention as foregone conclusion. Inc
vote cast was small, being minority OF
2347 for Convention. The nominees, Coils.
Stepbeus. Heiskell and Bate were elected
nv the same vote almost that was cast
Cor the Convention. The Democrats are
victorious in all quarters Of the State
vet heard from, and we opine the Con-
vent;on will be elected by large
majority. With the greatest amount OF
newspaper blowing and misrepresenta-
lion. il was not sufficient to defeat Capt
James Fentress, the young Democrat OF
Hardeman county. he was elected over
his opponent, J. ]. Polk, who ran against
the regular party platform, by large
majority.
Fsntres.' majority is reported in the
county at over 500. 1t will be well to
stick a piu here until we travel little
farther around. The telegraph informs
n, again that the Democrats OF Madison
copntv have succeeded in electing Cen
eral Campbell by majority of ESQ votes
over Milton Brown, who was supposed 70
represent the universal suffrage wing OF
the Republican left flank. He, too, with
others who have held up the negro as the
canal Of the white man, have had to &C
to the ground. The contest was not ever
doubtful, so sure were we that success
awaited us.
West Tennessee has sent up q delega'
lion pledged against negro suffrage. L
snme members are elected from other
n,rts of the State who did not run on
this issue, they certainly will not. IN the
Convention, oppose referring the matter
to direct vote of the people. In whatever
county in the State the ssgros right tc
vote has been made an issue II has beer
largely defeated, and SO will the people
of the State do when it comes back from
the Convention.

II would be we'll if the County Execn-
i've Committee would learn what their
duties are, emf not attempt TO prescribe
rules for the government Of convention
which in itself is absolute as to the
powers delegated to it BY the peo-
pie. We have witnessed on several
occasions the usurpstions Of this
committee in endeavoring to fore
stalI the pro5sble action Of conventions.
II the committee have tSSs right to
adopt a two-thirds rule in nomination,
they certainly have the same power OF
suggesting to the party who the nominees
shall be. And no sane msu would ad

Ex.PREsIDENr JOHNSON.

The correspondent of the New York
World writes from Washington under
date OF December IA:
From Tennessee recent advices have
been received here to the effect that An
drew johnson ia in nowise dismsyed or
cast down by the late election. He is
said. on the contrary, to be in the most
buoyant and rosy frame of mind-Mc-
Gregor on his native heath. The result
of the election has caused very de.
cided manifestation of popular good will
for the ex.President, and an equal ex
hibition of displessure for the leaders by
whose jealousy and ambition his defeat
was secured. Tha: he will come mp
again is not doubted, or that he will
steadily increase his hold on the people.
II Brownlow should die, it is said the
present Legislature will elect Andrew
johnson 10 the vacancy.
This will be true, if circumstances should
Cause things to happen just as A. J.s
friends would have them. Bat old Proc.
won't die during the session of the pres
ent Legislature. So say his friends.
That is, he will make a desperate effort
TO tough it out. Aud, if be succeeds, the
people will scarcely eject ahyiher body
of men who will send Andrew johnson
to the Senate from this State with all his
iniquities upon his head. The man il
most certainly dead and damned, politi
cally. with the present generation. H'
will scarcely make any more history, 81
the ssying goes. A, least the last anC
only startling sensation that he maj
create in this world is to die himself. VI
shall have no tears to shed on the occa
sion.
