noxious and unchristian sentiments ns
the resolution undor consideration,
though much moffc elaborate nkd wiclt;
ed, was published in tho Knoxville

tion of honor conferred.
A resolution urging a universal am
nesty, without uny exceptions, was
unanimously adopted *, also, one en
dorsing President Johnson’s course,
nnd applauding Cbaso on the impeach

On tlio Tth tho Convention proceed
ed to ballot for a candidate for tho
Presidency, which resulted as follows :
First ballot, Pendleton 105, tho South
erners nearly all voting for Johnson—
2d, Pendleton, 09; Packer, 26; John
son, 52; others scattering.
Tho following is a telegraphic sy
nopsis of tho platform which was adop
ted by tlio Convention, on Tuesday,
amid immense cheering. It covers the
whole ground, and is one upon .which
every trno patriot in tho whole land can
stand and battle foi-;
Slavery and sreesaion are regarded a, dead la-
uea. Bond* pa j able In lawful ihohpk unless tho
Hoc calls lor coin. Equal taxation on all property,
hiding coin. One currency for all. Economy,
notion of the army ami navy, the abolition of
the I'rccdinfci't Hureuu anti iiHiui9ituri.1l modo of
collecting taritf for revenue; the subordination of
tho military to tho civil authority; the restoration
of all-tho States; amnesty for ull political olVences,
including tho restoration of Buflrage in all States.
The control of tmllVugc belongs exclusively to
each State, and Ooiigrew has usurped it in violation
of tlio Constitution, Tho reconstruction nets un*
constitutional nnd void. Thanks President .John
son, and luvltes all parties 16 unite on this plat-
are feeding upon our kindness, are op
erating with a party who are socking
to rob us of- every vestigo of liberty
and to convort this government into a
military despotism.
It is Just as muoli the duty of tho
negro to promoto the Interests of his
employer as it Is tho New England la
borer to look after that of his employ
er; ahd tho white man, being tho-more
intelligent olass, mast be tho solo
judges as to whether they aro acting
in a way to defend nnd promoto tho in-
tcrcsts of tho community in which
they live. And should they rafiieo,
in their utter ignorance of all govern
mental affairs, after our united interest
is clearly set before them, to net with
us in till matters of a political nature,
nnd persist in following after those,
who liavo.and will continuo to mako
them false, promises, then it is our im
perative duty to throw them upon their
own resources—in short, to refuse
them all employment. -Wo may fool
tho inoonvoniencp of such a proceed
ing for the tlmo boiug, bat it cannot
. last long; for thq-flrst effect will be to
crush out the negroes, and whan wp
are oneo rid of this obstreperous olo-
mont thore will bo a tido of immigra
tion that will-soon supply all OUr do-
tnand^'for labor.

This latter created some excitement
in this Stalo at the time, and a positive
