CoMA.ENTs-"The slavery ques-
tion is a mere excuse. The cleo
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln is a mere pre-
text. The present secession move
ment is the result of an enormous
conspiracy formed more than a year
since, formed by the leaders Of the
Southern Coniederacy more than
twelve months ago.-S1EpnEN A.
DOUGLAS.

the law-abiding citizens of Tennes-
see Under the Government Of the
United States we have enjoyed, rs

freedom than any other people un-
der heaven. We believe there is
no cause for rebellion or secession

CoMiENTs.-''The South, first
by seeding, and second by firing
on the flag, has closed the door OF
raonnoiliation. am for meeting
them on their own ground. j
would have no halfway measures,
no compromises. Let us settle the
thing speedily and surely."-Dan-
iel S. Dickinson.
81 am speaking now Of the talk
about compromise. Traitors and
rebels are standing with their arms
in their hands, and it is said we
must go forward and compromise
with them. They are in the wrong;
they are making war upon the
Government; they are trying TO
upturn and destroy our free insti
tutions. l say to them that the
compromise | have to make under
the existing circumstances is,
ground your arms; obey the laws
acknowledge the supremacy of the
Constitution; when you do that |
will talk with you about compro-
mise. AL the compromise that l
have to make is the compromise of
the Constitution of the United
States. 1t is one of the best com
promises that can be made. An
drew johnson.
81 come to the Government, and
do not ask it as a suppliant, but
demand it as a constitutional right
that you give us protection, give
us arms and munitions, and if they
cannot be got there in any other
way, take them there with an in
vading army, and deliver the peo-
pie from the oppression to which
they are now subjected. Ibid.
81 know no neutrality between
my country and its foes, whether
they be foreign or domestic, no
neutrality between that glorious
flag which now floats over us, and
the ingrates and traitors who would
trample it in the dust. My pray
er is for victory, complete, endur-
ing and overwhelming to the ar
mics Of the Republic over all its
enemies. am against any and ev-
cry compromise that may be pro-
posed to be made under the guns
Of the rebels. Joseph Holt.
"When the government of our
fathers shall be again recognized,
when the Constitution and the laws
to which every citizen owes allegi-
ance, shall be observed and obeyed
then will the armies ofthe Consti-
tuition and Union be disbanded, by
a common impulse, in obedience
to unanimous popular Wild.
S. Dickinson.
"Let the rallying cry be, 'The
ofthe Constitution, and
no compromise with traitors but at
the cannon's mouthl' This is the
popular sentiment.
While the brave soldier is facing
death on the battle field, to protect
his Government, let no man be
guilty of the craven act of begging
or peace from q bastard and trait |
Or foe. No peace is wanted, or
should be asked on the part of the
North, short of unconditional sur
by the rebels, to every le-
egal obligation they owe tho Gov.
