into the Legislature of Tennessee now sit
ting at Nashville:
Wcrrtcrc rcsoiCcd by the General is
scmbiyof the ,Stotc Of Tennessee, That we
recognize in the recent outbreak at lIupers
Ferry the natural prints of this reasonable
irrcprcssblc conflict doctrine put forth by
the great head of the black republican par
ty, and echoed by his subordinatcs; and
that it becomes the imperative duty of m-
tional men of all parties throughout the
Union to announce to the world their sense
of its infa.nv, and to unite in crushing uut
its authors as traitors to their country and
as deadly enemies to the public peace, the
rights of the State and the preservation of
our republican institutions.
"RcSOiccd, That we regard it rs tho

atty of the southern people, and will but
serve to make them more watchful and cx
acting of their public servants in the ma

"RcsOlcnl, That it is the duty of four
Representatives in Congress to recognize
as enemies to the Union, and especially to
tlle slave States, all who, in any way, favor
or affiliate with this sectional black rcpub

part which tavors co operation with black
republicans in organizing the House, and

committees of that body under their control.

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
\ Washington letter states that our rcla-
TORS with England is causing considerable
talk IN diplomatic circles there. It's we'll
known, as | have already informed you,
that the tone of Lord Russell s last despatch
IN reference to the San juan Island and the
course of General lfarncy WAS not only uu-
pleasant, but it was dictatorial nahigh de-
gree Its pcrusal in the CaLinot council
gave rise to good deal of feeling, and the
impression of all tie members was that it
should be replied to clearly and pointedly,
in the .saine spirit in wticli.it was couchcd.
Gen, Snss' letter to Mr.. Dalhts on the sub
ject, am assured by those who have seen
it, is a master piece of logical reasoning.
and clearly proves our right to the island
and sustains the gallant Harvey. You
