Sensible.

John MCGOWAN a colored man, in a
Card to the Nashville Banner, Of q re-
cent date, gives the following sensible
advice TO his people,:
AS civil rights has agitated the minds
of the people Of the State and county, to
such an exaggerated extent in the last
county campaign, and thereby carried
an overwhelming majority for the
Democrat party, let US as o race look to
elevation-not to war OF parties or
colors. BY weakened white men OF
the Republican party, pretended friends
OF the negro, we have 6een defeated Of
our rights, then as race look out for
our friends Of the South. First to your
country. Rally and all is well.
OF course we will not refuse any
rights that are peaceably accorded us.
We are doing very well ms n race az IL is.
aud there is no need for us to grow un-
duly excited. May God give us civili-
zation as race. JOHN MCGOWAN.

Certainly the lawyer, the doctor ,he

The Representatives of the Democrat.
ic aud Conservative party OF Tennessee
In Convection assembled, most cordial
" invite all good aud true men, who
desire 10 increase the prosperity of the
people ofthe State. and preserve her hon.
lrying out the following principles,
to-wit:
/. That all honest labor should be
protected, and receive its just reward.
2. That the burdens Of government
should be borne by the whole property
of the country; that all assessments OF
taxes should be equal, uniform and
just. and no improper discrimination
should be made against any species
of properly.
3. That we favor strict construction
of the Constitution Of the United States
and insist thai no power should be ex.
ercsed by the General Government
that is not clearly delegated, or clearly
implied in the necessary exercise OF
the powers so delegated.
A. That we oppose all monopolies,
rings and CON- binations formed for the
oppression Of the people; that we are
for the abolition OF all useless and nm.
necessary offices; for the proper reduc-
tion of all excessive salaries; for the
most rigid economy in the administra.
ton OF the State government; for all
necessary reforms IN the law, so as To
make its execution speedy, Just and Ger.
tain that we will hold the collectors OF
revenue to strict accountability in the
collection and application Of said reve.
nue.; that we deplore the existence OF
all Indebtedness, Federal. State county
and municipal. and demand that no
more taxes shall be levied upon the peo.
pie than shall be found to be essentially
necessary for the support Of the State
government, administered OH princi.
Piles Of the most rigid economy, and fol
the payment of Its just debts and o5li-
cations, and the preservation of its
CTeUll hUU UOHOT uHthIUlsHeu, anu are
therefore opposed to an increase oI
taxation.
5. That we favor the abolition Of the
present odious National banking sys.
TEN. and the payment of the bonds oi
the Government by issuance Of its noa.
bearing interest notes, according TO the
contract expressed and implied ut the
time of the creation Of such Obligations
and repeal Of the present oppressive
Federal tariff, and the enactment Of n
law solely with view to the collection
of The necessary revenue.
6. That we denounce all legislation that
seeks to interfere with the individual
right OF the citizen TO select his own as
sociates, and particularly what is known
as the supplemental civil rights bill
pending before the Federal Congress, as
apalpable violation of the Constitution,
intended 10 vcX, harrass, oppress and
degrade the people of the Southern
States, and productive Of untold social
and political evils TO both races, and
which we should resist by all legal and
constitutional means in our power.
