XXVlth CONGRESS---2d SESSION.


OUSE...........,.......WAs WASHINGTON, Jan. T.
Mr.. Cobb rose to personal explanation. He said
he was not present the conference of the Alabama
and Mississippi delegations on Saturday as reported
in the newspapers. He was responsible for his own
acts and judgment, but in thus remarking he did
not wish to reflect upon others. He represented a
people who were competent to speak for themselves
Mr.. Houston said he understood the conference
was on the part of Senators alone from several OF
the Southern States, and that no members of the
House attended it,
Mr. Cobb repliedtha he happened not to be there
and sent no Geographic dispatch. God knew his
prayers were for harmony in the land, and that in
the event of war the stars and stripes should be
carried into the midst of our enemies. He wanted
the flag to float as long all the States remain
in the Union as equals The majority of his peo-
Pile believe they cannot have that equality, but are
for making another effort for adjustment
! Gentlemen with whom he had conversed said the
Committee of Thirty-three will do something. He
wished he could feel this in his homes He woulC
call on the Senate as well the Representatives tC
come forward and relieve our country from its EN-
barrassed condition, Standing on the brink of dis
solution, he should have raised his humble voice
not only to the North, but to the South to do some
thing to save us from our present troubles. If blood
should be shed a reconstruction of the Union can
not take place He beseeched the geutlemen'to dc
something.

BE- We see that hand-bills have been issued
calling for meeting Of the citzensof this county
on Monday next, ito take into consideration the
impending crisis, and the preservation and main
tainance Of Southern rights against Nc-s,ern ag-
erosion and fanatical, Aiolencen When PROPOSE
ton was made, some weeks ago, for a Union meet
ing, we discouraged Il upon the ground that such
meetings carry no WIGHT with them, because at
best, they afford but AN imperfect cine to public
opinion and because their tendency is to create di-
visions amongst the people. We stil entertain the
same opinion, and believe that the whole subject
had better be left to the Legislature now in session.
Should Convention of the State be called the cleo
ton of delegates will give full and conclusive ex-
preston to public sentiment through the only relia-
ble channel-the ballot-box-and should no Con-
vcntion be called such meetings as the ono propos-
cd, i'll not contribute in the slightest degree to the
settlement of the "impenling crisis" and may do
much to array the people one against another, and
committing the impulsive to positions which their
cooler judgment may not endorse.
We are for the Union, emphatically, and believe
that the best Union measure il Conference of the
slave States, and the submission, by that Conference
of ultimaium to the North, accompanied by the
declaration that the question must he settled now
and forever, and leaving the responsibility Of Union
or dSunion with the people of the free
States. This plan qS0cto9 fcan be carried out on
" through the LegklAurE of the slave States, in
the first place and theA y the Convention elected
directly by the people To the advancement of this
plan, county meetngs-composed of hundred OF
two men brought together by curiosity, or sympa
thy with the spirit of the call-cannot be auxiliary
even; on the contrary, they to embarrass anC
mislend by the PRONUNCIATION of opinions assumed
to be Tie sentiment of the county, when, in fact
they may be entertained by meagre minority
Union and dsunion meetings have been beld al
through the South and whilst they have in many
instances led to angry discussions we have not see,
he first evidence of any good effected by them
The "impending crisis is not one to be controlle,
by such demonstrations; legislative enactments ant
direct recourse to the bao-box are the only ageu
cies through which be reached and successful
ly adjusted. One meeting has already been hel,
here, and passed its resolutions in favor of the Tn
ion and honorable terms should another be held

be held not to have spoken at all but if secession
be not the object of the proposed meeting where

eGA. The Knoxville Register says the only ques-
ton for Tennessee to decide is-Whether she will
90 with the South or adhere to the North At this
time there is no such question before the people of
this State who too wise and patriotic to resort to
revolution until all constitutional means of redress
have been tried and too hgh-toned and chivalric
to submit to Northern domination when such means
have failed We hope to see the Legislature, now
in session, take firm stand upon the Crttenden
resolutions as an utimatum then urge upon the nom
seeding States cooperation upon this basis and de-
clare, firmly, but tempFately, that unless the
North acquiesce in that demand, Tennessee will
withdraw from the Union. The Gulf States are
more dangerous enemies to the South than even
New England Their policy is inviting civil war
when there might be peaceable separation it is
frittering away Southern strength BY separate ac-
ton and by premature ruinous expenditures of the
sinews Of war, and by weakening the moral force
so essential to the maintenance of cause involv-
ing the vital interests of the entire South. Then
the question for Tennessee to decide is-not whether
she shall strive to keep pace with the Gulf States in
their career of self-dcstruction,, but whether she
shall by wisdom and irmness try to save the Tn.
ion first, and failing in this, to save the South frou
its enemies at home.
