OF the Post, and many others of the two s,,,,
parties OF the State. The President on tsli,,
the Chair, said that crisis had now arrived IT,
Union, and consequently the existence Of this,,
tion is menaced, and unless there is a great ,,a
genera effort IN tner support, We may soon BE-
hold the mighty fabric of our Government t,a,s
bling over our heads, and threatening. bv its fan
TO crush the prosperity which we have so loS5
and happily enjoyed. He had lived, he ssi2
during period in the history OF the country wbsr
there was no Constitution or Union-yhen tbssa
was no commerce, no manufactures, and lit,la
agriculture. He continued with great force h
portray the times previous to the adoption Of The
present Constitution period when mems hand,
were turned against their neighbors, when tbe
coasts were beset with armed men-whsn
Law and Justice were trampled under foot
when towns and villages were threatened with
pillage fire and the sword, and when the soil vas
polluted with the blood OF its own citizens. Fma
these scenes the speaker turned to the state Of
things under the present Constitution with Com,
MERGE Agriculture and Manufactures tolrshng
and the brightest prospects everywhere. IN cor.
cusion he said, go tor the whole Constitution
and the whole Union rs the best security for the
liberties of the people. For these stand heras
and il ! am not ready To exert every faculty which
possess to uphold and maintain them, shall be
false to the blood which runs in my veins-fslse
to the ancestors from whom am descended, and
false to every sentiment OF my own heart.
The resolutions were then read, and theyas.
sert that the preservation OF the Constitution
and the Union is the paramount duty of all classes
that the blessings flowing from the Constitu.
ton in times past and which will in times 10
come vastly transcend in Importance oil otherpo,
tical considerations that 1t is folly to deny that
there is danger to the Union unless questions
which engender feelings of bitterness between
different sections of the Union are set at rest
That the laws of the land are equally binding on
every State and upon all citizens, and that no one
can ever refuse, or seem to refuse, to obey them
that the measures OF compromise passed
by the last Congress ought to be carried gu! by
the people, otherwise agitation will again arise
upon questions now happily set at rest-that all
resistance olaw is mischieyous and tends to an
archy-that all who advise those who may be tho
subject of any law, to resist, deserve the oppro.
b. ium of the community and the severest penalty
of the law. and we are confident such penalty
will be imposed by an unbiased Court and an
intelligent and impartial jury-that we will at all
times and in all places sustain the Union, uphold
the Constitution and enforce obedience to law.
B R. Curtis then followed in an eloquent speech
in which he denounced George Thompson as a
foreigner coming here to arm the citizens OF one
portion of the community ananst the other.
Next came Hon. B. Il. Haett of the Opposition
party His speech in favor of the Constitution
and Union was received with great applause.
Hon Rufus Choate followed in one of his most
elegant speeches, which was received with thun.
ders OF applause.
Letters from number of leading men in the
country were read, and everything passed off
with great enthusiasm, and determination at all
hazards to uphold the Union and the Constitution

CINCINNATI, Tuesday, Nov. 26.
Pursuant to call very numerously signed by
most distinguished members Of both parties,
large concourse of citizens assembled at the
Court House to-day for the purpose of giving an
expression of popular sentiment in regard to tha
great question OF the day. The meeting went OFT
with degree of unanimity seldom witnessed
and it was characterized by much spirit and en-
husiasm. The meeting was called to order at
: u
The speakers were Hon. Andrew Ewing and Me-
or Doneson The former gentleman supported
with much ability the course OF the Tennessee
delegation in Congress in the adjustment of the
questions before that body in its recent session,
and administered rebuke to those who talked
of disunion and secession as ground oil redress
for public grievances.
Resolutions were passed that we are Union
loving and law abiding people, and recognize sub
- aion to the primary laws to be the primary
dntv ~ oil pool citizens That nc State has the
constitutional right to secede, and any such at.
tempt would be revolutionary, and its conse'
quences entail civil strife and boodsned The
Abolition mobs and riots in the Northern cities Tor
preventing the execution OF the Fugitive slave
Law, and their Abolition Conventions and the
continued agitation Of the Slavery issue, will, II
persisted in paralyze all our energies and lead to
the total alienation of one section of the Union
from the other-that we maintain the right OF the
people of the States whenever palpnbly, intoera-
bly, and consttutionaly opposed to throw oil the
chains that Cypress them but this right IS InYol'
antary in its character and there IS no present use
for its exercise, therefore we see no necessity
for Southern Congress or Conyention-that we
unite around the constituted authority OF the
country for the maintenance OF the supremacy Of
the laws and in spirit OF kindness we respect
fully warn our Northern brethren that an attempt
to repeal or failure to enforce the ngltye playe
Law will unite all the South, and most prooaDiJ
end in total separation of the States-thst the
Compromise measures Of Congress meet our APP
probation as the best that under the circumstances

them our hearty support Major Donelson spoke
