It was to select one from each State to form a National Executive Committee. ‘The CHAIRMAN—Each State selects its own dele- gate. The SECRETARY—And we are asking the names of those delegates and their Post Ofice addresses, Mr. RICHARDSON, of Illinois—If the Conventron will give me their attention for half a moment I will say a word in regard to the Territories, Probably four years from now most of them will be States in the Union, and 1 am for giving them some encour- agement, and I desire to make this proposition to the commitiee:—That they be permitted to appoint upon the National Executive Committee a member froin each of the Territories of the United States. Mr. Hart, of New York—I move to lay that resolu- tion on the table. Lost. Mr. TARBELL, of Ohio—I move to amend the resolu tion so as to make it include the District of Coluin- neral McCook, of Ohio—The District of Colum- via is not a State yet, and is not represented on this oor. Mr. D. 0. Frvcu, of Jowa—I am in favor of the orl- ginal proposition, for the reason that the Territories in four years, in all probability, will be States, while the District of Columbia never can be; therefore the amendment should be voted down. A vote being taken on the amendment it was de- clared lost. ‘The question was then stated to be on the resolu- tion of the gentieman from Iitinois to add to the Na- tional Executive Committee one member from each of the Territories. Mr. BUELL, of Nevada—I would desire briefly to call attention to the fact that there 1s territory enough on the other side of the mountains out of which, we hope, within the next year, at least, to carve ten States. The population of all these Terri- tories are thoroughly democratic, even insiad hy my own friend Brigham Young and his people at Utah. (Laughter.) Now, sir, I don’t see the justice of ex- cladin, those genilemen from _ representation on this committee. This committee is to re- main in power for four years. We will get rid of some of this element in the present Congress in that position of the country before the expiration of four years. Ihopegentiemen will reflect a moment before that is done. These men have risked their lives in the settlement of this country, and they carried the faith of their fathers there, Mr. TILDEN, of New York—It could give us of the large States no more pleasure than to do anything that is reasonable for our friends of the Territories. But in the constitution of the Executive Committee and the discharge of its important functions it is enough that four million like New York shoula be neutralized by the small States of the Union. It is enough that a small State of the Union should neu- tralize Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Let us not add to that by the introduction of dele- gates into that committee from the Territories having @ very smnall population, that are equal in their influ- ence upon the action of the democratic party, voting fs they do on that committee equally with these great and popular States. I donot think the request was reasonable; therefore I move to lay the motion on the table. The motion was decided out of order. ne TmpEN—I move to postpone it indefi- tely. The OHATRMAN—The chair will first present the resolution that has been offered by Pennsylvania, by way of amendment. ‘The resolution was read, as follows:— Retolved, That the representation of the next National Convention shall be the same as now. Resolved, That in the event of any r. Kiley, of new State being a mitted any aioe whi ail be named by the regular o- catic 01 zation of the State shal! be recognized as a mein- ber of the National Executive Committee. Resolved, That the place of holding the next National Con- vention shall ve left to the discretion of the National Execu- tive Committee. The amendimant was accepted by Mr. Richardson, of Illinois. The SECRETARY announced that as the National Committee had already the power to fix the place for the next meeting the only portion of the resolution ‘to be voted on was as follows Resolved, That in the eventof any new State being ad- mitted, any person who shail be named by the regular de- mocratic organization of the State shall be recognised as a member of the National Executive Committee. The CHaIKMAN held the rest of the resolution to be out of order. ‘The resolution as amended was agreed to, Mr. Wuyrs, of Maryland—I moye that a commit- tee of three be Cy sre by this Convention to walt upon the Indiana delegation and inquize if there is any probability of them immediately returning to the Convention, and if not that the Convention will- take @ recess for an hoar or two. The motion was agreed to. : The CHAIRMAN appointed Messrs. Whyte of Indi- ana, Faulkner of New Jersey and Kerr of Penusyl- vania as the committee, MOTION TO ADJOURN. Mr. McMvLieN, of Virginia—Mr. President—It must be Perfectly obvious to this Convention, now, that we can do little, if anything, until we have re- tired and taken some refreshment. I have been Moat patient here, and no gentleman from my State, or scarcely from any other Southern State, has opened his mouth. TI only rise now for the purpose submitting a motion that I hope will meet the unanimous concurrence of this body, to wit—That we take @ recess until five o'clock. Psy Strain, of Peunsylvania, seconded the mo- ion. The CHAIRMAN—Mr. Neilson, of Tennessee, calls the aitention of the Chair to the fact that yesterday this Convention passed a resolution inviting a dele- gation from the State of Tennessee to submit to this body @ memorial of the wrongs suffered by that State, That resolution was adopt |, and the gentieman asks that Mr. McMullen will withdraw his resoiu- tion for the purpose of permitting that committee to be heard at this time. Mr. MCMULLEN-—Mr. President—Tennessee is my neighbor. T cannot withhold any courtesy asked for by that State, I therefore withdraw my motion with great pleasure, but with the understanding that it ts to be renewed when the memorial shall have been Presented. THE GRIEVANCES OF TENNPSSEE. Mr. F. W. Brown, of Tennessee, then submitted to the Convention the following MEMORIAL to the National Democratic Convention, assembled in New Yor! ly 168, for the purpose of restoring the rights of States and re-establishing the anctent liberties of the people :— A Convention covstituted by the people of Tennessee, and Tepresenting che great mass of the, legitimate body poiltic of what should be a free and equal State of the Federal | nion, directed your memorialists to make report to this nasem! of freemen of the oppreasions, usurpations and mi lo Mee poo os of the party now in government nitea Biase. The t ranuy of which we, on bebalf of great body of American cilizens, complain i not the evil suprem- acy of a mere domestic faction maintalming itself againet odds by its own vigor, talent and courage; on the contrary, if Peacppqed a, the now misdtrected powers of the federal Union the rail ne oligarchs of our unfortunate Common- wealth would not long abide the indignation of an or pe Tt is only because they represent and are executin, the policy of the men now wielding the vast welght o! federal authority, who prostitute the resources of great nation to upbold and protect these petty Oppressora of a noble 8 tate, that we appeal rough you to the people of States Yet free to ald wt the Tedrosss of Wrongs which are intolerable to American free- men and the longer continuance of which threatens either renewed convulsions or the entire subversion of liberty throughout the repubite, It ie historically true that the pres: ent state organism of Tennessee was created in violation of all American precedent, It was not a government extab- lished by a majority of the citizens or of the inhabitants, It rests on a vote of twenty-two thousand out of a voting popu- lation of one hundred and sixty thousand. It ie likewise true that the Confederate soldier and bis sympathizer on the. surrender of. the armies of thee South Fecognized the State government ae an exigency of civil war. and were entirely willing to waive its ille, believing that it would cont mo itelegigntion tw the ritand meanin, of the term surrender that its adminieirath peace of Whatever Later, 10: * 5 the widst of ness the military uecessities ont Which it sprung may have in the first instance required, TI Was expected that instead of being confined to the Jateresis of the few that inaugurated {ts existence ft would be generously and wisdly expanded, 80 As to embrace the whole people. Intending to aveepi in’ good faith the result of the war as restoring the old boundaries of the Union and re-establishing the authority of the federal government over the seceding States, as also the abolition of Slavery, our people did not apprehend that @ State govern: ment, the founding of # milfiary camp, would annul the settlement of the questions at ixaue In the civil war, made by the armies in tue field; or was it anticipated that harder terms would be exacted of the defeated beligerent when un- armed than bad been demanded of him by his brave adversary in the . when with arts in his han despair ‘might have renewed his enterprise, and horrora of ® disuonorable submission, more terrible than those of hopeiess war, wasted resources.

To exclude them in the affairs of government and reduce them substantially to a condition of alienage, while exacting of them ali the duties and imposing on them alf\the burde: of citeenahip, was. ind e only expedient by which the ot men then In o| long thelr power. ‘The amended ‘constitution ratte BF the military f the Andréw Johnson, and accepted by having Tennessee ary Gov- those custody under federal military occupa- tion, granted power to the General Assembly to determine the qualifications of voters and the limitation of the elective franchises, It was to the exercise of this power under a copsti- futlon confessed'y the work of not even one-third of the people, that a syutem of oppression was consummated whlch haa converted a once free and sovereign State of this Unton tnto an odious despotiam. ‘The General Assembly first constituted after the proclamation of the amended Constitution, when | Dut a few of the citizens could vote, enacted three successive franchise laws, each surpussing the other in barahness and injustice. ‘The result of thelegistation on this matter has been the distranchisement of more than two-thirds of the whites and the surrender of the ballot to the negroes, It would be impossible, within the appropriate compass of this memorial, to present in detail the enormities of these fran- chige acts, We can only briefly advert to them. These men passed, ma time to time, ag the necessities of the authorities required, @ restrictive suffrage, to maintain them in office, The only exceptions to the rizor of these laws were those who had or were supposed to have asaini- lated with themn in political ventitnent. ‘Thus political opinion was made the condition on which American citizens should enjoy the franchise, by which alone their |,berties can be pre= served—access to the ballot box. ‘he principle, worked out to its full extent, enables n temporary majority to render its rule perpetual or force the people ultimately to relieve themselves by revolutionary. violence, ‘The majority of to-day have only to tid their present supremacy threatened by a change of opinion in the masses hostile to their policy ‘aud power, really converting them into minority, to justify the'line of action pursued in Ten- nessee. ‘Then the work of excision ‘rom the polls may com- mence, narrowing in still decreasing efreles the voting popu- lation ‘by depriving of the ballot such numbers of the hostile voters as to leave under the control and for the support of the party in power a majority of the voters, but really an insigniticant minority of the people, Thus is establiahed an oligarchy, the deadilest foe of poputar liberty. FAA stil ore repulsive and tyrannical feature of these dis: Franchising acts is found in those provisions which propound to the citizen, in order to exercise the rivht of suffrage, harxh and inquisitorial oaths, reaching not only his conduct, but his Opinions in the past, aid putting upon him the alternative of committing perjury’or of becoming his own acenser for the disabling acta and fyanpathies which, by the terme of the law, exelude him from the ballot, ‘Tks has been inaugurated amid the civ@lzation of the nfueteenth century, and in a re- public, that odious inqnistiion into the secret’ thoughta and private opinions of men which has been justly deemed the liar disgrac f even a remote and barbarous period of the most ignorant and cruel despoti«m. at provision of the federal constitution which forbids a a bill of attainder or ex post fat» law has been ‘iously violated, vasion as to be uiterly worthless for the can citizens against the madness of fa Heentousness of powers and the sntentiong of the framers of that instrument ave been utterly frustrated by the ingenous devices of re- venge and hatred. For it cannot be dented that under the pre- tence of the qualification of voters two: thirds _ of white men of this State have been divested of the elective franchise by —leg- isiative enactment as a punishment for assumed offences, for which they have never even been chaltenged by any proves of law; by virtue of the disfranchisement of the great mass of the white people ‘Fennessee is now practi- cally under the dominion of the negro, It was not, however, until jt beeame apparent that no franchise law, however re- strictive or harsh as to the white population, would retain power in the handa of one domestic faction that the negro was endowed with the bailot to serve alone their geifish interest, and the great body of the white people of tie State, citizens of the republic, long accustomed under ancient usage and the laws of the State to exercise the right of suffrage, diatranchised, emancipated African slave, unitted, a versal experience of mankind, for sel rninent, entrusted with the gravest duties ever devolved on freemen. If this levislation resulted from any conviction that universal sut- ¢, regardless of race, as # priuciple, should be into the American system, however fovlish and. we inight esteein the mensure {ts projectors would at icast_ be entitled to that respect which ever uitaches to sincerity. But Wwe are not permitted by the facts ‘accord to. them and the lately rding to the uni- this consideration. If it was from priefple and from an honest conviction of «uty that the ballot granted the rude, illiterate and still #eml-barbarous negro, it would have been done at once and not postponed until every expedient hadbeen tried by the present offeial incumbents to get along without his vote. Nor would an honest advocate of negro suffrage deem itconsistent with hia theory to excinde the great body of white people from the elective franchise, while bestowing it on the African race. We are, therefore, compelied in justice to the truth «of ory, | to represent these ontrages on the nt iiberties M1 privileges of American citizens ws perpetratell solely in the fnteresis of a party, and to matotain fn official position a particular class. Because the wliltes would not sustain this class and their policies, they are stripped of the fra) of American freedom, 'aud the African i# arrayed aw thein for the present dominating over them—an elevation of an inferior race, however iuconventent and insuiting for the present to the superior, to ultimately result, as ail intelligent men must know, in the utmost futute, in calamity to the negro. In the’ past career of the repulican pai aplagonism, have been productive of many ev and great’ wrongs have often been marked — by public indecorum and individual depravity, but never before fhe present, and now , passing period in our history, has any ‘olttical organization ‘dared to trample on the substantial iberties of the American citizen or sought to wrest the elective franchine from those entitled to it by the ancient usages and laws of the republic. No faction ever before pro- posed to secure Ke success by stich a crime. This offence is the more rank because the act does not stop with striking down the Uberties and franchises of the citl- zen, but beaps upon the victims of this lawlessness the igno- miny of political subordination to an inferior race. Did the founders of the repubite ever Intend that any part of ho waite shoals be aubi Spec ag oe t con- cerns peo) e Northern who, thank God, are yet free, scarcely Jeas than those represented by your memorfalists, to overthrow the infamous poilcies of which we compiain.

The Chase ‘bell’ is still ringing, with an abundant commissariat to keep it swinging, ‘The Chase men will not surrender until they are burned out. Chase’s name was not mentioned in the balloting yesterday. So much the better for a coup d'état to-day or to- morrow. it was, however, the talk among all the delega- tions last night, one way or the other, Look out for a grand lank movement for Chase. New York is still expected to pronounce for Chase, Sly old Seymour! Judge Hardenburgh, of Ulster, goes for Chase, as well as other solid men in the New York delegation, Massachusetts is ready to go for Chase—ten to one—although Cheever, the inflexible old hunker, who is not a delegate, says “No.” But Harvey, the moderate, who is a delegate, says “Yea,” with others to back him, Michigan is becoming chaste. The Prairie Rose is blooming! Each delegation has two or more Chase men in it, and in some Chase has a majority, if they would avow themselves. What State, big or little, will have the pluck to lead off for Chase to-day? Once done, look out for the rafters of new Tam- many. And the “big Indian !"" And the big guns all over the land, The Pendieton men are getting sweet on Han- cock. “Chase and Hancock !"? That's the ticket ! ‘The late rebel General N. B. Forrest, the best look- ing Tennessecan on the floor, declares that the South will go for the strongest man the North presents. Forrest is an envergetic man and a vigorous talker and fighter. He says he will agree to raise a hundred thousand men in the South to fight for the Union tn case of a foreign war. And he wil! give a thousend dollars per head for every negro he killed in cold blood, as alleged by the radicals in the much-talked-about Fort Pillow massu- cre. The melancholy death of Pe.er Cagger was an uns fortunate blow for the @fiti-Chase men in the New York delegation, The Convention has at last taken notice of the workingmen’s movement. If it had not it is very likely the workingmen would have taken no notice of its candidates. It is broadly asserted that the radicals are secretly using their influence and money to secure the nomi- nation of Pendieton, they think they can beat nim 60 easily. They think the cheapest way of running the campaign. It is stated that one liquor house in this city sold toa single delegation the modest littie amount of $800 worth of whiskey. No wonder the proceedings are somewhat spirited. Major Babson, of Maine, does not go for Pendleton. He throws his whole weight—about two hundred and eighty pounds avoirdupois—for Chase, Senator Hendricks is in his seat in the Senate at Washington, attending to his usual duties, apparently oblivious of the fact that the Democratic National Convention is in session at New York. The Star thinks, however, that it is quite likely he Keeps one ear ‘open for the click of the wires to announce who is nominated. “In presenting Governor Church as the first choice ,of the Empire State for the Presidency, and as the truest and ablest champion of the principles of the Now York democracy,” says the Rochester Onion, “our delegates have entitled themselves to the thanks of their constituency.” Sanford E£. Church, the “truest and ablest” champion of the New York de- mocracy. That's hard on Seymour. The Albany Argus says the action of the New York delegation in resolving to support Governor Church, “commends itself to the warmest approval of the party throughout the State. Governor Church has a clear, bright record.” Eypecially as a constractor of the Buifalo platform in 1848, when he was the bit- terest free soller in the State. The Syracuse Journal—radical—says Chief Justice Chase dives stili deeper. He probably has divers reasons for doing #0. The Pittsburg Commerctal—radical—facetiously says of Horatio Scymour:—“He belongs to the order of men who never decline an opportunity and never run for office when there ts no prospect of an ele tion. This is the real significance of Mr. Seymour's course.”* We suppose a radical organ knows all about it when itasserts that the Southern delegates in the Convention have succeeded in dissatisfying their brethren, who declare that it ts no way to act to fold their arms and sefuse to say who they ure for, They are accused of intending to control the final action of the Convention, and it looks as though they would not wholly fall short of their purpose, if this it is. A radical sheet is authority for the statement that Mr. Johnson's amnesty proclamation, considered as bid for the democratic nomination, 1s not a sue- cess, His chances have not been more visible since than they were before the performance. In no re- spect does the proclamation cause a ripple on the surface. The editor of the Albany Argvs, writing frem Manhattan Club, July 4, says:—‘‘No developments of Mr. Chase's strength in the Convention are yet made. The hostility of the friends of Mr. Pendleton ts de- clared in unmeasured terma, They say they would not regard such a selection as binding.” That ts, they would bolt, They know better, The same writer thus refers to Prosident John- son:—“Mr. Johnson is tae victim of conspiring men, whom he las called to surround him and who betray him, When the democratic delegates look towards him, the body guard of the enemies who surround him obstruct their view, It was Stanton and Rol- ling and Grant who, as they severally ieft him, freda Parthian arrow, and a poisoned one, at their chief. The men who now stand beside him are preparing to do the same thing.” When anybody, especially a Scotchman, says to Andy Johnson, “I look Wwwards ye!’ there's sumething tn it. f sing the Chicago Republican (radical), July 4. fhere was @ contruct nade several days ago tween the friends of Pendicton and Mr. Cass, of the Plitsvurg Ratlroad, that should Pendieton’s friends for Uasé fer Vico President Pennsylvania would end » This scheme wad ox} pepe, A Pennsfivania delegation decid! wo by i ernor Packer for President, vote stood thirty-dve for Packer for President, ten Pendleton and seven for Hancock, and meu are a pes re.
