Executive DEPARTMENT,


| herewith transmit resolutions adopted by the
Legislatures of South Carolina and Mississippi
upon Federal relations. Whilst do not concur in
their recommendations-nots seeing the necessity
proprety of Convention of the slaveholding States
of the Union at this tme-I, nevertheless, deem it
proper that | should communicate, and that you
should respectfully consider, the suggestions of our
sister States. Believing as do that the people of
Tennessee are loyal to the Constitution in all its
parts, and with each and all of its guarantees; pos
sessing Jealous regard for the rights the States,
and feeling Justly apprehensive of encroachments
upon them; they would feel and demonstrate, when
necessary, their identity with any of her sister
States in resisting any unjust and unconstitutional
warfare upon them their Institutions
This resistance should be, first by the use of
all the constitutional means in our power, to the
end that the Union may be preserved it
formed, and the blessings of government of equal
ity, under written constitution, perpetuated.
But if the hope of thus obtaining justice shall be
disappointed, and the Federal government in the
hands of reckless fanatics shall at any time become
engine of power to invade the rights of indivId-
uals and of States, to follow the example OF our
fathers of l776 will be the only alternative lett US.
Whilst there is much in the present attitude OF par
ties, States and public men in the Northern portion
of the Confederacv, to cause apprehension as TO
the security of our rights and the continuance OF
fraternal feeling. vet there is probability, and
hone strong one, that wise, temperate and firm
connsels NAV avert the impending evils. There
fore before widening the breach in the manner de-
signated in the resolutions herewith submit
ted, our policy should be to exhaust every means
consistent with honor and the Constitution in an
earnest effort to. check the tide of aggression and
restore the era of good feeling and fraternity
throughout the whole country.

Banks have unwisely contracted, and such

er seen before-caused by nothing real all
Imaginary. A little gold is wanted for the
South; from every other quarter of the
globe gold is coming to this city; and it
would be perfectly safe for our banks to ex-

This is Barking as practised by our lead

follow suit; and they are not responsible
for the destruction that is going on.
The Bank Note cuTencies are sadly de-
ranged, and Bank failures are daily taking

SUSPENSION OF THE MISSOURI BANKS.

The Banks of the State of Missouri,
with the exception of the Exchange Bank,
Of St. Louis, suspended specie payment on
the 2sth ult. With regard to this action,
the St. Louis Republican says:
The Banks of Missouri which have just
suspended, are yet strong, and have the
confidence of the State. They have good
assets. ind as late as the 1st of October
they had four millions and half of specie
in their vaults. That sum may have been
reduced, but not materially. Their policy
will be, we prehend, to put a portion OF
this coin in New York at the earliest pos
sble period, where it may be drawn against
at moderate rate Of premium, and thus
lessen the cry about exchange and the enor-
nous price paid for it. They will also. il
is presumed. discount such good paper as
is offered, whether on the local orexchange
lines, and thus give immediate relief K
business men. In this way they will best
commend themselves to the favor Of the
Legislature, soon to assemble, and justify Z
remission Of all the penalties incurred by
the suspension Of specie payment.
