A local Democratic convention in Davidson county, Tennessee, last week, adopted resolutions asserting that, as the present State Constitution gives the colored men every right enjoyed by the whites the validity of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments forms no issue before the people of Tennessee, and that no person or paper continuing the agitation of that question is entitled to the confidence or support of the Democrats. Among those who took part in the convention and recommended this course, were Ex-Governor Henry S. Foote, who was a member of the rebel Congress; John C. Thompson, of the late State Constitutional convention, and other influential Democrats. The resolutions, says a despatch, will undoubtedly be adopted by every county in the State.
