Press Dispatches.]
NASHVILLE, May 9.-The Democratic
State Convention assembled at the eapi-
tai to-day at noon. Delegates appeared
from every county in the State. The
convention was organized by the selec-
tiOn of b. J. Sea, of Haywood county,
as President, and the appointment OF
other officers.
John {. Brown was nominated by ac-
clamation as a candidate for reelection
as Governor.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
First-IndOrsing the administration
of Governor Brown.
Second-Providing for the appoint
ment of a State Executive Committee.
Notwithstanding as cardinal points
of Democratic faith, the following: The
preservation of local State governments
against Federal encroachment and CEN
traliZatiOn Of power; the equality
Of all men before the law, and
the equal participation of all
citizens in the rights and benefits of the
government; the subOrdinatiOn of the
military to the civil authority; the in
viOlability of the right of the writ of
bdbeds corpus; the publication Of the
corrupt service of the country, and
faithful compliance with its obligations;
the preservation of the national honor,
at home and abroad, andlthe Union Of
the States, with all the guarantees of
the constitution respected.
To carry out these principles, we are
ready to cooperate with all good citi-
zens in the pending Presidential contest,
irrespective of party.
The eighth resolution declares
that inasmuch as the convention
of Liberal Republicans has presented to
the country the names fHOrace Greeley
and B. GratZ Brown as candidates for
President and Vice President, have
pledged themselves to maintain and
enforce the doctrines above enumerated,
and have invited the cooperation of all
patriotic citizens 10 their support, we
deem it but part of the patriotic duty to
declare in the contest now, well nigh upon
the United States, the names who desire
the support of every patriot in the land
as an honest ticket, representing the
principles, policy, and practice of the
Federal Administration, and while re-
affirming our purposes, and the desire to
preserve the integrity of the Democratic
party, do, nevertheless, declare in our
behalf, and as we are well satisfied
in behalf Of the people We represent,
that in our opinion, with the lights be-
fore us, the presentation of candidates
for the Presidency and ce-Presidency
by the Democratic party of the nation
would be unwise, unnecessary and eX-
eeedingly dangerous to the welfare of
the people at large.
Fifth-Providing for the appointment
of delegates to the Democratic National
Convention, the delegates to be in
structed 10 carry out the spirit of the
foregoing resolutions.
Sixth Providing for the selection of
two Senatorial electors, leaving the Sc
lection of the remainder to the districts.
The resolutions gave rise to debate, in
which some feeling was manifested, but
were adopted by large majority.
The convention is still in session.
