Senator Fisk here related the historical ae
count OF father a eing from the Indians
with his family Of children in the pioneer
days of New Hampshire. OF bis being so
botly pursued that he thought it impossible
to save more than one of them; of his dis
mounting from his horse to select that one.
As he did 80, it seemed as though his arms
were paralyzcd, and be resolved bv the help
of God and his own right arm to save them
all. So would they save this Union. Aud
he expected yet if not within his own time,
at least within that of his children. the thirty
three sovereign States would be increased TO
half hundred.

State. we love you, and here with the flag of

Mr.. PICKETT, OF TENNESSEE,
was also called out and made speech that
elected the warm' st plaudits from the audi
encc. We were. however, owing 10 the con-
fusion around us unable 10 caleb all he said.
He spoke If his having been for IA number of
years actively engaged in politics in his own
State, and OF his never having before witness
cd such patriotic expression on the part OF
any people as in Ohio. When he heard the
booming of cannon in this State, did he find
alienation ON the part of the people? No.
But they met him with open arms. So firmly
would such feelings cement this Union, that
nothing would eff. ct It's destruction.

ment:

ted their hospitality.

D. Memphis, Nashville. Louisville Cincin-
natl, Columbus-Not quite straight line:
but Cincinnati straight enough. aud proud to
welcome her sister municipalities.
The Mayor of Nashville, Mr.. Holdings
worth responded. saying, "enough has been
said of the union OF the States, and it be-
comes my duty to speak of the union Of
cities. The great cities mentioned are not
perhaps in the gcometrical line. but think
they are straight enough; while the politi-
Clans who are present. have said enough to set
the Union right, deem il prudent and pro-
per that the representatives, of the great
CONNIE rcial metropolis OF these States should
say thai the commercial line is not broken
while the Union is being saved, it is Deces-
sary that the comm rcial emporinms Should
bc looked To. The commercial intercourse
heretofore existing between Nashville and
Cincinnati has be- n most satisfactory, and as
| hope profitable, and ] believe and hope
that such will be continued. | believe moth
lag in the shape of fanatics OF the MOI Tia or
hoispurs OF the South can defer us from de-
voton To the Union, and from the friendly
relations which now exhibit.
