Lincoln last December: "The preservation Of the
Union is worth land rs said 90 Horace Maynard to-

accomplish that object, would voie) the sacrifice
Of this generation" You perceive, Mr.. Greeley, |
am ss slow 70 recognize the Southern COnfedcracy,
as IL England, or France, or yonrself.
Finally, in accounting for the sirsDge position OF
Tennessee ! mns, mention az fact, that the
women carried that State out of TIE unoni and IL
happened in this wire;
From the ith Of March, till the 18th April war
was expected; and the question was circulated
"ln csse Of war, which side will yon take-the
NorherG or Southern2" A very insidious and iabe
issue; but that wss tie question. Next came the
Proclamation and bad Gov. Harris responded
to it, rs in duty bound Tennessee would have
GENT as many regiments to defend Washington and
subdue Somh Carolina rs she has now sent TO defepd
treason and despotism. But Gov. Harris called Tor
troops 70 oppose Lincoln, and the secessioDisls few
% arms Now, il so happens that every SecessoniSt
in tho State has Union cousins, Union auuts, Union
kin Of every degree. The good women raised their
hands in horror, and said " If you vote the Union
ticket, you vote our kin, who are SecefsiOnisis,
traitors; you vote TO have them subjugated, and
hung" The young ladies rallied in behalf Of their
traitor cousins brobers, aud lovers; and thus the
900 stayed at home that sth OF June; and thus the
State WAS preciptated into revolution
| This word revolution" calls up another singd-
lar series Of facts in the late history Of Tennes-
see TIE Union presses, orators, and statesmen had
no long combated the Secession doctrine thst not
even tie Proclamation could drive them over 10 the
Secession party. But they said: "Gentlemen, While
we deny the right of secession, We do maintain the
right OF revolution. Cali your treason revolution,
and we are in. But we bsve sworn against Secos-
sion and cannot take IL back"
Accordingly the Legislature fixed the tickets thus;
sspars,lon. or No Separation.

Thus thousands went into revolution, just to prove
they had al inherent right to revolye, tbongbtless
