safeguard to American independence, be-
lieving we see in its success the entire and
perfect restoration of peace and prosperity
to the nation.
Resolved, That we most earnestly op-
pose the doctrines and principles of the
party now in power and regard the great
bulk of its legislation as unconstitutional,
cOrruptly proscriptive and false, and dan
gerous to the liberties of free people.
Resolved, That Radicals, the members
of the ''so-cslled" Republican party, are
our political enemies and that we recog-
nize the members of no other political Or
ganization as our opponents, and that
each and every man in DeKalb county

respectfully invited to unite with US and
are hereby admitted into full fellowship
with the understanding that no man is to
be ignored because of any past political
opinion.
Resolved, That any effort to manufac-
ture Third Party in Tennessee is, in our
opinion, the work of cunning Radical lead
ers, and should be frowned down and
looked upon with contempt by all good
and true men opposed to Rsdicalism.
Resolved, That John c. Brown is our
first choice for Governor, and that the
Chairman of this Convention appoint two
delegates from each civil district of De-
Kalb county to attend the Convention at
Nashville on the 18Th inst, and cast the

powered to cast said vote for any Demo-

may be best fitted for the position.

the vote of DeKalb county for his nom
