The Nashville Republican Banner says:
d. The prevailing sentiment in Tennessee
Is that disunion is no remedy for existing
eyils-if evils really do exist, peculiarly
and exclusively Southern-or for evils
threatened as likely TO result from the con.
stitutiOnal election Of any man to the Pre- ST.
dency, though he were Ten times as hostile
to Southern institutions as Abraham Lin.
coin is represented to be. The people of
Tennessee are not only too patriotic, but
too practical to adopt and act upon the SUBJ
limated abstraction of Southern dsunionists,
or 10 appreciate The intangible visions OF
Southern Confederaey which aflict these
dreamers. They see too clearly that the
Union offers them surer and more speedy
defence of their Constitutional rights, even
with Abraham Lincoln at the head of the
Executive Department, than they could hope
TO attain in Southern Confederaey, sur
rounded by hostile Northern Confederacy.
They can rely with perfect safely upon
the Legislative and Judiciary arms of the
Government, and laugh at the impotency
of an unfrIendlY Executive. They can
see, moreover, that disunion is not only
unnecessary, not only unavailable as a rem
edy for real or imaginary or anticipated
evils, but that it would prove the fruitful
source of real and disastrous calamities,
compared TO which the evils cOnrIsined Of
are as nothing.
But Tennessee should do nothing hastily
IN this momentous crisis. She occupies an
important position, as between the tive con.
ficting elements in the government, which
now 50 seriously threaten ITS destruction.
Her influence should be judiciousIy used to
inculcate the virtues OF forbearance and
moderation On, the part of both elements
and to preserve the rights, the honor and
the political integrity Of BOTH. No State
in the Union can boast Of ADLER, more con-
ssrvative sons than Tennessee-men whose
wise counsels cannot fail to be potent in
allaying the troubles which irritaie the
country. She can safely trust her duty
and her destiny in their hands. Give then
time for reflection, for consultation and CO.
operation. and we shall lcok with conf
denee 10 the salutary influence Of their &C.
ton, backed by the people Of the State.
