following comments upon tho election
with most of which VIC agree: "The
defeat of cx- President johnson for the
United States Scnato;in tho Legislature
of Tennessee occasions no tears in this
part Of the world. He has done some
abominablc things and committed many
egrcgicus blundcrs. Tho good lIc pro.
posed to do was sustained with such an
indccisivc and faltcring hand that it
never was accomplished. He began
his administration with tyranny and
persecution, he changed his base Of
operations for the qualification of per

friends of:us by diminishing our afflic-

The Temperance Convention.

To The Editor Of the Press;
The Constabularies met with what force
they could muster at City Hall, yesterday
The lower part of the hall was thinly occupied,
about one fourth Of its area, and Judged by
the voting that not more than third of these
present were anything more than lockers on.
The convention was more remarkable in those
who were not present than those who were,
None of the old temperance celebrities were
present. Judge Davis, Neal Dow, Charles
Stackpole were not there, as might have been
judged by the enthusiastic folly that character
lied the proceedings. When Mr. +. Dow, son
of the old Temperance apostle rose to resign
his position as Secretary of the State Temper
ance Committee, and was proceeding to give as
a reason that the new course agreed
upon by the convention was, in his Judgment,
prejudicial to the cause of temperance, Mr..
Tallman, of Bath, the President, sternly call
ed him to order, saying he had no right to COM
ment unfavorably on the action of tde conyen-
ton. There was silence for the space of near
ly an hour under this high old parliamentary
order, during which a member offered a reso-
luton approving the prohibitory law and-de
manding its execution, but as the phraseolo,y
was detected as that of another sect of tenn
perance men, it was promptly laid on the ta-
BILE. AT length by the eloquent appeal OF
Messrs. Randall and jackson, Mr. Dow was
allowed chance to resign, and two or three
Others followed his example.
The committee ON resolutions complained
that they had not time to make platform, and
retired to incubate. The difficulty seemed to
be to tell wherein they differed from the Re-
publican party. Everybody believed they had
quarrel with them, but nobody seemed to
