competitor The prominent sentiment with the people Of
Tennessee no, merely acquiescence the measures
adjusting the slavery and territorial questions, but il
braced besides rebuke for those designating spirits
who are seeking to found upon the dsconen's OF the
South plea for dissolving the Union. 1t was in this
er respect that Gen. Trousdale permitted Gen. Camp
bell to occupy ground in advance OF him, and TO enlist
IN his behalf that of public opinion which was
called Tor by the peculiar state OF parties at this juno
sure Until we heard General Trousdae, we had sup
posed his position sufficiently definite to satisfy the
most scrupuous minds that he cordially accepted the
Compromise, and repuda,ed all attempts to reopen the
question under the expectation that future agitation
would afford guarantees which not already provided
by The constitution and laws OF the laad. But it oh
rious tina, the chain Of argument, he pursued left him
liable to be misunderstood, and necessarily transferred to
his competitor the advantages resulting IRON more dis.
