MEETING IN SUMNER.


On the Goth day Of June, the same be-
ing the first day Of the June term OF the
circuit court of Sumner county, in accor-
dance with previously published call,
the people of Sumner county met IN con-
vention in the circuit courtroom at Gal
latin, Tennessee, when, on motion OF
Captain r. A. Bennett. Judge Geo. w.
Allen was called to the chair, and James
W. Blackmore was elected secretary.
Judge Allen, in few appropriate re-
marks, explained the object for which
the meeting was called, and upon the
conclusion of his remarks Captain X. A.
Bennett submitted the following resolu-
tons, which were adopted unanimously:
Whereas, tits proposed to hold State
Convention in Nashville on the second
Monday in July next, to nominate can
didates for the office of Supreme Judge;
and, whereas, we approve of the holding
of said convention, and wish to be repre-
scented in the same; therefore, resolved:
|. That A. r. Wynne, Geo. K. Seay,
John I. Baber, R. A. Bennett, JAS Alex
ander, Geo. B. Guild, W. G. Pond, Geo.
W. Allen, ]. ]. Wherry, N. W. McCon-
nell, Thomas Boyers. o. p. Butler and
w. S. Munday, be appointed delegates to
representSumner county in said Conven-
ton, and that any one or more Of said
delegates who may be in attendance, is
authorized to represent the county.
2. That we recommend our fellow-citi-
zen, Col. J. ]. Turner, to said conven-
tiou as man eminently qualified for the
position of Supreme Judge; and instruct
our delegates to cast the vote of the
county for him as one of the candidates
for the Middle Division of the State.
3. That we recognize in Colonel Turner
a courteous and dignifed gentleman, an
able and experienced lawyer, a man who
is patient and untiring in his researches,
firm in his purposes and convictions. of
high moral worth and stern integrity.
We think he will fill the position with
honor to himself and usefulness to the
State, and will give general satisfaction
to the people and the bar.
4. In the selection of the other candi-
dates we leave our delegates TO exercise
their discretion, with the simple injunc-
ton that they vote for men Of acknow-
lodged ability and integrity, without par
TALLY for particular individuals
5. That we sincerely hope that the
several counties throughout the State
will hold meetings and appoint delegates
to said convention.
6. That this be published in the public
journals throughout the State.
On motion of NJ. S. Elkin, Esq, Capt.
R. A. Bennett and B. B. NJ. L. Barr were
added to the list of delegates.
On motion of Major W. s. Munday,
there being no further business before
the convention, it was adjourned sine
die. Gao. w. ALLEN, IChmn.

the Republican or Radical strength oil
the county, and leaves the balance
Democratic, and a majority Of 4s4lonly.
OF course there is more or less variation
in this count at each election, but not
enough to affect the general statement,
and we can count only on majority oil
about FIVE hundred, as we set 1t down.
This variation is caused by the personal
popularity or unpopalarity of the candi-
dates running before the people As an
instance, in the last race for Judges IN
this county, Col Halsey, our most Ia
yored candidate, beat his Radical oppo-
nent by 7Os votes; while Capt. Flippin, on
the the same ticket, came out ahead ofhis
opponent only 1876 votes. The MAORI
ties of the other candidates on the Dem
ocratic ticket were as various as the
names themselves, not going below or
above the figures just stated. If we will
consider the immense negro population
of this county, it may readily be under
stood where the Radicals get their
strength from. 1t has always been about
equal to that of the whites of the county
"a slight preponderance in favor of the
latter. We are again charged with
being illiberal in politics and proscriptlve
in theory. tits information to us II 1t
be so, for the thought Of prescribing any
white man from voting or holding office
in this county has never occurred to our
minds; and as to the charge, we call for
proof to sustain it. The only thing that
we are guilty of-ifit could be counted a
crime-was to oppose fraternizing with
Radicals, under any circumstances what
ever. This might not suit the editor OF the
Banner and others Of his ilk, who be-
lieye the negro and the carpet-bagger as
good as any white man. II 1t does not,
then it can't be helped, as a large ma
jority of our people down here think
as we do on this question. The opposi-
ton that is opposed to holding Demo
cratic Convention to nominate
Supreme Judges for the State, is
that which looks to the formation
of third party. in the State.
We know it so well that there is scarce
reason for writing about it. And in thus
silly harborng the thought, it is first
intended to break down our organization,
on the pretext that there is no use in
making party nominations for judges.
We will not be hoodwinked in such
style, and now, as hereafter, present the
front of the Democracy of this county to
our enemies.

THE STATE CONVENTION.


ceedings of a meeting in Sumner coun-
ty, which appointed delegates to the
Democratic State Convention that will
assemble at Nashville on the second
Monday Of next month. AT last the
Democratic central organ, the Union
and American, perhaps urged by the un-
mistakable signs throughout the country,
has shaken off its lethargy and blows its
bugle blast to awaken other sleepers and
loiterers to the performance oftheir duty.
This shows that Middle Tennessee is
moving. A dispatch to the Appeal of
this morning announces:
The Union and American urges the
appointment of delegates from every
county in the State TO the Convention to
meet in Nashville on the second Monday
in July, to consider and determine upon
such action as to the namination of can
didates for Supreme Judges as may then
seem most advisable.
From every appearance, Humboldt
will not be honored with the Western
Division Convention, and the provision
for such contingency, although doubtless
wise and proper in itself, is not likely to
be called into exercise. The importance
of Convention must be apparent to
every one who is not so conservative as
to wish the destruction Of the Democratic
organization. Some such there are, who
occasionally are seized with disposition
to urge advice upon the Democratic
party. They wonld even now persuade
those who would listen to them that
there is no necessity, or even expediepcy,
of State Convention TO nominate can
didates for Judges They doubtless have
thsi, fayorites, who possibly cannot
make sure of 4 nomination, and in this
way think to strengthen theiF chances.
We hope that no such speoious TACTICS
may prevail among our friends, for at
best they are illusory, and have disor-
eaaiziag tendency. There is no man,
however profound his learning and ele-
waited his standing. ~la should, in the
fullness Of his vanity and conceit, hold
himself above the free and patriotic ex-
pression If choiee by his fellow-citizens
in convention ASSEMBLED. It is an UNI
pirage that is conclusive, and from
which there is no appeal except to
the people, who are not likely to diverge
from an authority which they are
10 DIE habit of respecting. There never
was more aisset call upon the patriot
ism Of our people than AZ the present
time, when it is of vital importance that
no one with Radical faint must by any
possibility obtain a seat upon the Su-
preme Bench. NoRe With such blemish
in his record can be free TO discharge the
high functions Of the Supreme Judiciary
unmixed with the obnoxious heFesies that
are leading features in the doctrines and
their application Of the Radical party.
The eslr way to obtain unity Of action is
through Q conyeat;ap, and we are graf
ifsd to learn that the Democracy will as
senble through their delegates and as
complish the pasle work before them
through the time-honored nssses Of their
organization. If any should exhibit re-
lgctanee, or permit the opportunity to go
Nv unhes4ed, they will have the duty per
formed for them by those who aeknOw-
ledge the benefit TO be derived fion the
