TIE PLATFORMS
The two parties have recently assembled in
Convention, at the Capitol. the Democrats on
the 18th and the Republicans on the I'D of the
present month; and have embodied their prin-
ciples and doctrines in their respective plat
forms.
! invite your candid attention 10 the consider
alton Of these "a, the fundamental principles
upon which these parties have placed themselves
and upon which they appeal 20 the people of
the State for support ] will read in the first
place from the Democratic platform the intro
duc;ion:
" We. the repres entatives Of the Democratic
party OF the state of Tennessee. here in cJnyeu-
ton assembled, forgetting all past differences,
and deprecating all attempts Il eneeuder Old
arimosities. meeting on terms OF re -.ect equal
ity, and animated by common hoJ.- and pur-
poses, do heartily unite Tor the and n
dication of the principle. and policy proclaimed
by the great National Democracy
! wish you to bear in mind one thing This
declares that 1t Is the assembly Of he Democracy
OF Tennessee. We have had in Tennessee since
the war number OF men, can hardly call them
party, who surmised that they did not belong
either TO the Democratlc party, or rs they would
express 1t the Radical party. They held an IN
termedlate position. Something that while il
was neither one nor the other, they imagined
xHoE a hot col LODI tt-al.- (fgr,
servatives. They met in Convention in 1867
and nominated the Hon. Mr. Etheridge candi-
date for Governor. In all their speeches and
conventional proceedings the name Of Democ-
racy was held at that time rs too OdiOus and
hateful TO be presented 70 the people of Tennes-
see for their support. This party was mere
matter Of temporary existence to quiet the feel
ings 81 certain timid men in the State These
CONSERVATIVES had no place in the convention Of
the 18th inst. They were not known Where

tending elements and give laws tgthH commune
