THE PLATFORM.

The representatives of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, most
cordially invite all good and true
men, who desire to increase the pros
perity of the people of the State, and
preserve her honor untarnished, to
unite with us in following out the fol-
lowing principles, to-wit:
Il That all honest labor should be,
protected, and receive its just reward.
q. That the burden 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
property.
- That we favor strict construct
ton of the Constitution of the United
States, and insist that no power should
be exercised by the General Govern
ment that is not clearly delegated or
clearly implied in the necessary exer-
else of the powers so delegated.
Il That we oppose all monopolies,
rings and combinations formed for the
oppression of the people; that we are
for the abolition OF all useless and I'M
necessary offices; for the proper re-
ductiOn of all excessive salaries; for
the most rigid economy in the admin
istration of the State Government;
for all necessary reforms in the law so
as to make its execution speedy, just
and certain that we hold the collec-
tors of revenue to a strict accounta-
bIlity In the collection and application
of said revenue; that We deplore the
existence of all Indebtedness, Federal,
State, county and municipal, and de-
mand that no more taxes shall be laid
upon the people than shall be found to
be essentially necessary for the sup
port of the State Government admin
istered on principles of the most rigid
economy, and for the payment of its
just debts and obligations and the pre-
servation of its credit and honor unfair
nished, and therefore to an increase of
taxation.
"5 That We favor the abolition of the
present odious national banking sys-
TEN aud the payment of the bonds of
the government by issuance of its non
bearing interest notes according to the
contract expressed and implied at the
time of the creation of such obliga-
cations, and a repeal of the present
oppressive Federal tariff, and the en-
actment of law solely with view to
the collection of the necessary revenue.
Is. That We denounce all legislation
that seeks to interfere with the indi-
vidual right of the citizen to select
his own associates, and particularly
what is known as the supplementary
Civil Rights bill pending before the
Federal Congress, as pIlpable viola
ton of the Constitution, intended TO
vex, harrass, Cypress and degrade the
people of the Southern States. and
productive of untold social and polit-
zeal evils to both races, and which We
should resist by all legal and constitu-
tional means in our power"
