In the meantime, the General Assembly of Tennessee
has acted and its action is before the people They have
made provision for the immediate development of all our
military resources resist the proposed invasion and sub
iugation of the South-whch all are convinced will be
speedily attempted They have provided for the separa
ton of the State from the Northern Government and for
the resumption of its independence and, also for
plete military and political union with the Confederate
States These last propositions to be submitted to the
vote of the people the 9Th of June next.
In view of these pregnant facts we recommend most
earnestly that the people of Tennessee the 9Th of june
at the ballot box unite and give their unani-
NOUS endorsement the action of Legislature, decar
ing our noble State independent forever of the United
States Government in the hands of aboitionis and
usurper who have subvered the very principles of liberty
for which our fathers fought And recommend further
that in view every consideration of present protection
and of future interest and honor the people of Tennessee
unanimously the 9Th of June to ratify the action

From the New York World. ]

But if the dangers naturally to be apprehended
from the passions of four millions of brutal blacks should
be escaped (which would be but little short of mrace
and the South after sharp and exhausting should be
subdued, any savehOldng people might be subdued
by superior numbers andresources weakened and sui

certainly be governed by the United States till time should
put them in better humor'

The Short Way!
From the New-York Courier and Enquirer.l

There two ways of putting down the present re-
bellion and saving the Union. The one is to call from
seventy five to hundred thousand troops into the field,
and two three years in scientifically terminating
the fearful loss of life an cost in money,
besides destroying the business of the country pending the
war which, in ITSELF would amount to untold hundreds
of millions of dollars. The other and the WISER and the
cheaper mode is to call out quarter of million of vOun
teers and double that number if necessary and bring the
whole matter to close in few months. The latter is the
cheaper mode and when accomplished business would at
its natural channels and should again be
happy, united and prosperous peope-a Nation command
ing the respect and admiration of the world And this
latter course is the which the people will insist upon
We entreat of the President not to thwart them"

No Friends at the North Now.

Mr. Dickinson, of New York, the firm friend of the
South heretofore spoke follows at the great meet
ing the other day in New York city:
He would have halfway measures no compromises.
Let settle this thing speedily and surely. may ruin
this generation bat 1t TO the nert that they should
hare such troubles hare had He tOoud strike
in might and necessary r0ipe the South from the face
Of the earth. He knew they would have civil war, and
what far worse serULe and he would make pro-
phecy that by the time this matter settled the peculiar
institution of the South would be swept away. Let US
finish things while about it, and leave nothing be-
hind u.s."

The Second ReVOlutiOn---Libert to
all Mankind.
From the Chicago Democrat

From the Chicago DemOcratI !
LET Congress be called together. Let the President be
empowered to call out half a million million of
men, And then let Congress proclaim freedom to every
who fights for the Stars and Stripes be he black
white.
This is programme that will strike terror to these
naughty Southrons 1t will hit them right between the
eyes, and paralyze all their efforts at once.

them have it, and you will such fire in the rear of

State City that either rebellous hestatng-nor
