DEAR SIR:-What ought to be Done with the Bank
of Tennessee, at the ensuing session! This is an
important question, and that should be considered
well by our friends il time.
The Legislature two years hence, will have. as
you know, TO elect Senator TO Congress- and to dis
trict the State anew for the election of Representa-
tves. well Senators and Representatives TO the
General Assembly; and the Democratic party will
bring heaven and earth together TO carry the State
and they will carry it, unless we can have new
ganization. In their hands, the bank can be made
powerful nstrument-will they scrupe to it,
its means, to effect that object!
What. then, shall be the course Of the wings at
this sessions write you because have no lead
ers in the middle part of the State, no working
at least.

Mr. Cooper addressed the House at some length in

Mr.. Cooper, however, again appeared as the knight

Mr.. Alien opposed the bill. He though, il would

toughest Of life, aud destroy those refined and
delicate sensbii;es which form one of the loveiest
features of their character.
This sort of argument is the most common one
used TO keep women in a state of dependence. In
substance, it amounts to this-that if you make wo-
men independent, they will no longer be fools. to mis-
take delicate sensibties for real refinement, nor
continue the toys and playthngs of men, who value
them IN proportion TO their weakness

SOUTHERN CoyvENTroN.-By reference to an
other column it will be seen that Arkansas is
beginning to fiji up her delegation to the South
ern Convention, in compliance with the follow
ing resolution adopted by that body previous to
its adjournment last summer;
Resolved, That when this convention adjourn, it
adjourn meet again at Nashville in the State Of
Tennessee, the 9th Monday after the adjournment
Of the present session Of Congress, and that the
Southern States be recommended to fill their dele
cations forthwith.
We trust that all sections of the country will
fill up their delegations as speedily as possible
1t is of the first importance that the second sit
ting of this body be full and complete, other
wise its efficacy for good will be weakened. and
our enemies, the submissionists, be furnished
with means of promoting divisions and dissen-
sions among us, In the language Of the Nash
vile American, " We are among the number of
those who most sincerely hope that the Conven-
ton will re-assembe only for congratulations
over tho passing away of portentous dangers
and at the return of n universal spirit of union.
But we would be prepared for different result.
We would be prepared to meet aggression, if it
comes, at least half way on its march, We be-
eve this course to be the polite and tho pru-
dent one. There is not man of all those here
at home who are so Justify crying peace who
will dare deny that u most desperate effort TO
rob the South of her rights is making in Con
gress and in the Northern States. The prudent
policy, which would quiet alarm here be depre-
ciating these efforts, and attempt to suppress
agitation by villifying every man who dnres
raise his voice in defence Of Southern rights,
forms no part of our course, We shall attempt
to arouse the South to sense of danger when

Some editors are exceedingly fond Of talking
of disuni0nists and diyunion sentiments Call
them subn,issiOnists and they will turn up their
noses at you, and repcl the charge or insinua-
tons with great force and vehemence. Now,
We would just like for these men in generai, aud
those of Mississippi in particular, to answer the
question, are they dsuniOnists or submissionists!
Necessarily they are the Que or the other
either they are willing to submit to ertan en-
croactment, aggression, or robbery by the North
aud no more or they are willing to Weld every
thing, and subm to any and all OF the acts of
usurpations by that section If they have any
point beyond which they will not yield, then
they are disunionists-ift they will give up every
thing, then they are Of course submssiOnists.--
We defy them to define their positionr-to
declare their principles to the world without
laying themselves liable to be Justly called dis
.unionists or subnissionists.
And, now, is it possible that there is in tho
State man who justly merits the term submis-
sionist? Is there one 10 st to honor and the
love Of liberty and equality to be willing to
lose all for the sake of Union that robs them
of every thing worthy of freemen? Is there
one 80 destitute Of principles and feelings Of his
fathers OF the revolution as to bow his neck and
take yoke? Is there one who will surrender
the equality guaranteed by the Constitution for
the preservation of union of no binding force
because of the violation of the principles which
rendered it sacred and obligatory We think
the shades of his fathers would haunt such a
creature in his dreams and his waking hours!
would curse him us blighted and withered
branch Of a noble and ylorioustrunk. Our fore
fathers dissolved union, Drawing the vengeance
and fury Of the proudest nation Of earth, rather
than submit to .ndignities which are but grain
of sand to q mountain compared with those in
course Of preparation and soon to be offered to
the Southern section Of this Confederacy
II this be true, and we defy successful con-
tradiction, are there any submissionists among
us! If not, why should one portion Of the peo-
pie attempt to bring reproach on another by
branding them MS traitors and disunionists!
The only difference between those who so BIT
terly denOnnce disunionists and those denounced,
is as to the proper time of resisting aggression
-or else we have in our midst vile submission
lists, who would sell their all for less than a
mess Of ttsge. We call on those who so
vociferousiy abuse disunionis's s., to show their
hands. Let us know where you are, good
friends. Either do this OF never again hint that
there are /" disunionists" among us. Do this,
or you subject yourselves to be called sub
lnssionsts-"

and the Clerk of the House of Representatives,
under the law regulating the printing, advertised
for proposals. The proposal OF Mr.. Belt was
only about $4,000 lower than the next lowest
bidder. 1t was taken at seventy, or perhaps
seventy-five per cent. below the prices of 1919
The bids of the unsuccessful applicants were
about sixty five per cent below the price of 1919
Well, now, if you propose to relieve these con-
tractors will you go below that amount, and
give them greater sum than the difference be-
tween the lowest bid and the next one to it
Another fact which / propose to submit, is
that the first part of the Patent Office re-
port has already been stereotyped, and they are
now working off the copies rs fist as the press
can despatch them. 1t is large volume of six
or seven hundred pages. If the contractors are
allowed the prices of 1919, deducting forty-five
per cent, according to the proposal of the COM
mittee, the net proceeds OF the contract upon
that document alone will be S23,05l.
Now, ask this House if il would be right to
pass this resolution without first being put in
possession of the report of the select committee
which will, in all probability, disclose these with
other material factsl With reference to the
DELAY which had been alluded to by the gentle
man from Kentucky, in bringing forward the
report of the select committee, that committee
were now engaged in examining witnesses,
whom Mr.. Richie desired should be examined
for the purpose of controverting and explain
ing certain facts which had been elicted by
the investigation of the select committee
When the examination of Mr.. Rtchie's wit
nesscs Is concluded, the committee will BIO pre-
pared to present their report Heidi not think
the House ought to act on the question until
that report came in This was proposition
which appeared to him to be so plain and
selfevident, that il required no further argument.
