THE HAkBEhc fEIhtsl 1-N.'SieANA--
WHEREAS. most dangerous epoch has arisen IN
the history of oar country, based upon the lailll-
eel aggrcssions of Northern Black Republicans on
tho esarved RIGHTS of the States and the institutions
of the South seeking TO abolish slavery 10y prevent
inp the extension into common territory aha ieHuer
inc II insecure and hazardous IN puI mldst anu
,bcreas in the recent insurreetlona at Harper fcr-
~ a. 1Il as in the revolutionary scenes in Kansas,
W., recognize the legitimate fruits Of that uesona-
RE nolicy avowed by the Acknowledged head OF the
Black Republican party, Wm. Il. seward III HiS
famous Rochester Speech, in winch ne satd;
These antagonistie systems free and save IA,
bor1 are continually coming into closer contact ana
collision results Shall tell you what the coisioh
meansy They who think that it Is accidental I'M
necessary tie work of interested or tanatlcai ag-
tatcrs. and therefore epeneIial' mstake Ile case
altogether 1t is an irresistible conflict between
opposing and enduring forces, and 1t means mat
the United States must and viii, sooner or laer De
come either entirely slave-hoidIng naton- or en-,
tirely free labor nation. Either the coIlon anu
rice fields of South Carolina, and the sugar pahla-
lions of fnnsiana will ultimately be titled by free
labor and Charleston and New Orleans become
na,ts for legitimate merchandise alone. or else the
rye fields and wheat fields Of Massachusetts ana
Now York mist srain be surrendered by their FAR
mers to slave culture and 10 the production CT
slaves and Bostca and New York become once more
markets for trade in the bodies and souls OF men.
II is the failure to apprehend this great truth that
induces so many unsuccessful attempts at ilhal COM
= between
il is the existence OF this great fact that renders al
snch pretended compromises, when maie, yam ana
ephemeral.' NIL D.
pubicau Senator from Massachusetts has declared;
IL ct MS remember thar more than three millions
J Of bondsmen. croaning under nameess woes, de-
and that we snail reprOye each other, and that we
labor for their deiverauce. teiiyou here to-nlght
that the agitation Of this question OF human slavery
will continue while the foot OF slave presses the
| soil of the American Republic.
And Mr.. Wade. another Black Republican senator
from Ohio, has said:
s.Tbere is really no union now between the North
and South and he believed no two nations upon the
earth entertained feelings Of more bitter rancor To-
wards each other than these two nations OF the lie
nublic The only salvation of the Union. therefore,
was to be found in divcsting entirely from all talnt
| of slavery.
WHEREAS. Senator Seward, addressing South
ern Senator'S from his place IN that BODY mas Doluy
proclaimed to the world that
AT last new voice issues from your own region,
from the South from the slave States. and protests
against your farther persistence IN tins mao enter
! prise Tof extending slavery. and admonlsheS you
that it must and will fail The cohorts are gather
ing from the South; the men of moderation and CON
| servatism who. as they have heretofore moderated
| IN favor OF slavery and against freedom, VIII now
be obliged, in consistency with their Just ana wen
established character and their habltual PATRIOTISM
/ 20 moderate against you IN favor OF freedom ana
rise up unanimously against slavery mn.
And again at Rome, in New \ ork: 1T VIII be the
show of the next two years to witness the organl-
zation of this same Republican party within slave
States under the lead OF brave and true men, such
as Frank F. Blair of Missouri. and Cassius NJ Clay,
/ of Kentucky What remaiOs OF organization as a
national party to be effected is sure and certain
as what has already occurred, ard Is now so dis
tinctly seen"
State OF Tennessee That recognize in the recent
/ outbreak at Harpers Ferry, the natural fruits OF
this reasonable 'irreprcssbe conflict doctlhe'puI
forth v the great head OF the Black Republican par
tv and echoed by his subordinates and that 1t be
comes the imperative duty OF national men OF all
parties throughout the Union TO announce TO ule
world their sense of its in1amy. and to unite IN
crushing out its authors traitors to their country
and as deadly enemies the public peace the rights
of the States and the preservation OF our republican
Institutions.
PesoIred. That we record it as the sense Of the
Tennessee legislature. that the declarations OF Mr.
Seward. that a respectable portion OF the SuutherL
peoplc under the lead of such men as Casslus VI
C,sy ard Francis p Blair will unite with the BacF
Republican Ugrty to prevent the extension Of slavery
and will eventually rise up against slavery, Is
libel upon the honor aad loyalty Of the Sou'heri
people and will but serve - make them more Watch
ful and eXcating Of theirpubc servants m the ma

Resolred. That it is the duty of our representa-
| tsvcs sp Congress to recognize as enemies To Tn
Union and especially TO the slave states, all who Il
any way favor am .iGtt with this sectional bacI
Republican party and that any action on their parl
which favors Il cooperation with tho Black bepuu
lcans in organizing the House and thus placing tn
officers and important committees OF that body un
der their control would be false to the sentiment q
he people of Tennessee. an insult to their consul
uents and disgrace H. themselves.
, Eesored. That we acknowledge our appreciation
