MI, RayIess, RESOLUTIONS,

We have already published the resolutions intro
ducad into the Legislature of Tennessee by Mr. BAY
IEss and we think there ought TO be no division of
public sentiment 10 the prOpriety Of their pas
SAGE They truly express the feelings and prinei-
Mes of our people touching the late reasonable oray
into the State of Virginia. The same fOray might
inst as well have been made into either one of
the saveholding States, who united by common
institutions, common sympathies and common des-
tnv and who ought to be, and will be, prepared to
stand or fall together The Importance Of an ex-
preston of the Southern States with regard to this
unprecedented outrage lies in the fact that it is
time for the world to know that the people firm
" united in the determination defend and enforce
their rights, and that no party prejudice can ever
divide them in the recognition Of their duty 1t is
true that in its immediate consequences, the HaT-
ners Ferry outrage very small affair but IN
its significance as rejecting the wishes of a large
nortion of the Black Republican party, and ind-
eating the loyalty of the southern slave in his patr
archal relation TO the master, it possesses an I'M
limited importance.
II s in this view that the South should unanimous
" concur in expressing one universal sentiment of
renrobation for the real authors of this dibOlcal
scheme-those who are morally responsible for it
the Black Republican press and orators. Let public
INDIGNATION consume them; and especially let the
Conth present serried and unbPoken 'front.' tOteach
them how impotent is their treason how dark their
cuilt. how strong the moral force of righteous
1nblie opinion, when aroused in the vindicahOn of
constitutional rights. public order and the preser-
vation of our institutions 1t is only thus that the
nnholy agitation in the Northern States can be eff
fectualy crushed out and sectional warfare be for
oyer prevented The South must present one unbro-
hon front against those who instgate the attacks
mon her and must show to her enemies that Adolf
t;rnn;s,n and Observation-Disclosures have no sympa-
thizers or allies in her borders.-AenphisA Appeal

The Consplrator..

Col. FORBES, one of the consprators with BROwy,
careful not to trust his person at Harper's Fer
ry, and that the plot has exploded, is exposing
the other conspiPatOPs. His own correspondence
with leading Abotionists is published. His sntsrs
view with Senator SEWARD is described as follows,
in letter to Dr.. S. G. HOWE, of Boston:
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1855
To DR.. s. G. Hotoe, NJ D., Boston, Mass.
On Saturday llEt May had an interview with
Senator Wm. II. SWaPd, of New York, having been
introduced to him through s..letteF from leading
Abolitionist, Dr. Baly, Of the Ira, went fully into
the whole matter, in all its bearings He expressed
regret that he had been told and said that he in bis
position, ought not to have been informed of the cir
cumstances. In part agree with him, ard in part
/ differ. / regret that the misconduct of the New
Englanders should have forced me to address my
self to him but being now enlightened on the sub
ect he cannot well let this business continue In its
present crooked condition. instead of causing it TO
be put straight" both as regards my childFen's
situation as well as the cotton speculation OF the
humanitarians.
Mr.. SEWARD, remarks the Journal of Commerce, ex-
pressed regret-for what? Not that such scheme
had been cOncocted; not that one section of the
Union was to be arrayed in conflict against the 9th
err not that the rights of the people of Sovereign
States to be assaed their property stoleE and
pressed no regret, nor Touohsafed word of oOn-
dennation But he expressed regret that he had
been told and said that he in his position ought not
to lave been informed of the circumstances These
are the sentiments of Senator of the United States
a man sworn to support the Constitution and the
laws and trusted the representative of the State
of New York, in the highest and most dignfed body
IN the national government. Ought not to have been
told! Really, this is an outrage upon honesty and
patriotism winking at treason, scarcely less cul
pabe than the acts of Brown himself And this same
Senator SEWARD is the trusted leader of great po
litcal party, whose speeches and whose counsel to
his followers teach the same doctrine which Brown
has attempted carry TO their practical conclusion
And with whose followers the Journal n. vht have
added, certain presses at the South are ur g the
Southern Opposition to unite to defeat the election
of Democratic Speaker of the next House of Rep
resentatives and Democratic President in 1901
Mark the date, May LIST, 1885, almost eighteen
months before the outbreak at Harper's Ferry, VIZ
H. SEWARD the leader of the Republican party in
the Union, was informed of the plans and system
proposed and instead of Indignantly denouncing it,
he regretted that he had been told, and six months
afterwards, made aspeech at Rochester virtually en-
dorsing and encouraging the scheme.

and its vicinity to General ATKINS the 18th tuL,
(says the Paris Ssatinel) was largely attend there
being between two and three thousand persons on
the ground; more orderly or genteel crowd could
not have been assembled. The whole affair went off
with hilarity and glory, speaking volumes for the
gentlemen who superintended it, and exceedingly
gratifying to the General
The crowd assembled obout 10 A. NJ. at Spring
on the Conyersville road The exercises of the day
were began by DR.. LANDS reading number Of let
tiers from distinguished gentlemen who had been in
vited to attend on the occasion, among the number
read, was one from His Excellency Governor HAIR
Rs expressing his deep regret at not being able to
attend.
Gen Atkins next arose. and after saluting the vas
assembage and thanking them for the kindly feel
ing which prompted the compliment to him. he went
on to speak of the proud and exalted position Occu
pied by the Democracy at this time, and their ex-
pectations for the future until every OF the un
terrified felt eated and proud of his politics. The
General made of his finest efforts and treasured
his friends that he was man to be trusted and fol-
lowed in ell things political in troubled times, as
well as in the flush of victory AT the close OF his
remarks he received, as usual, shower OF boquets
from the fair hands of the no less fair ladies, to
which he responded in language and manner that
After the speech of Gen. Atkins, dinner was an

After dinner the crowd re-assembled at the speak

Fitzgerald in which he interested the audience, and

The company then adjourned and large portion,
particularly the younger part went to Conyersville
