The countrymen and kindred of Washington, of
Henry, of the Lees, The Randophs, the Jefersons,
the HarrisOns the Blands, the Nelsons-the vessels
of Yankee Taskmasters! Better ten thousand times
to stake everythingfe, liberty, prosperity, affairs
apd iiresdes, than endure such degradation. Great
and manifold are the horrors of Yar--tut there are
greater evils than they. A high-spirited nation,
wounded and Inundated in its sense of honor is a
nation lost and lost beyond redemption.
There is nothing left for US, but to fight for all
that is dear to u.s. Every man, woman and child in
the Commonwealth feels the necessity The issue
is forced upon us. We compelled to fght-to
fight either for despotism or for freedons-to side
either with our enemies and oppressors. or our

Us no alternative; it is liberty or determination,

We find an advertisement to the same effect in the
editorial columns of the Knoxville Wing of the
3Oth of April.l
The peorle of Tennessee have spontaneously re-
belled aqainst the Union They are rushing to
arms to resist the Chief Magistrate of ".he Union"
What do Messrs JOHNSON and NELSON propose to ac-
complish by their Union Meetings? Do they propose
to stir up armed resistance to the thousands OF brave
and patriotic Tennesseans who are now armlng all
over the State to fight those minOns of the despohc
President of "the Union," who are now making
ready for the invasion of the South! Or do those
gentlemen propose to aid the President Of "the
Union" by prevailing upon portion of the people
of Tees see to stand still and refuse TO assist with
their sympathies their purse and their arms those
of their feowcitizens, who have gone into the war
for the purpose Of defending the lives and liberties
of Tennesseans! Either purpose is infamous and
deserves the indignant denunciation of every South
ern citizen Had not JUDAS betrayed his Savior and
BENEDICT ARNOLD his country, we could not
have believed in such debasement of human
nature What expressions of admiration must
such conduct extort from all Black Republi-
candom While every mail that comes to us
from the North pours upon US whole quires OF
of the North gives daily assurance that the war
is not to be one Of subugatiOn only, but of exter
minaton, that, in the language Of DANIEL S. DICK
rsoN .he South if need be, is to be "1oped from The
face Of the eaTth; while the refuse population OF
Europe and the graduates of Northern prison houses
arencitedo enlist against u.s. by glowing pictures OF
the rich banquet that is here waiting to satisfy their
lust and their cupidity: while thousands of the
bravest and best of Tennessee's sons are leaving
their homes. their wives, and their children
to meet at the threshold the ruthless and
merciless horde, as countless and as cruel as
the followers of Attila, we hear of men hitherto
beloved and honored by their State, standing upon
either side of the fanatical tyrant holding up his
hands while he wages his against their section
There is scarcely family IN Nashville that has not
a husband, son or brother now preparing to leave
on the dangerous mission of protecting their homes
and defending their liberties. As it is here so 1t is
throughout the State. Hundreds Of those now
leaving are bidding their last farewell to the pleas
ures of homeland the warm greetings Of kindred
and friends They go forth to find upon the battle
field a painful but glorious death. In their last
lingering agonies the thoughts of home will be in
terrupted by their deep and damning curses of
those they have left behind them giving courage and
confidence to their murderers.
Let Messrs JOHNSON and NELSON fully reflect upon
the heritage that they are preparing for their
posterity.

LLSS0URI FOR THE UNION.


 Noticing tLat many members of the Legis- la.uro of Missouri, from various parts of the State, had been in St. Louis recently, The Republican remarks:
 "So far as we have been able to see them. we are gratiicd to hear that they are entirely conservative in all their views in regard to the present troubles between the North and South that they are disposed to fight for the rights of the slave States in the Union, rather than out of the Union; that they will unite, if needs be, in any convention of the slave States which shall present. in distinct man ner, the grievances of which they have Q right to complain and which are neither few nor unimportant; and that if the free States, 50 long pursuing an aggressive course towards them, should refuse to do justice to them, that they will then consider the mode and mnner of Iodrc.s. But theVare not dispo d to break up'thc Union hastily, or without sufficient reason. They have prospcrcd under it until they have attained position second to only one other slave State in the Contede- racy, and they are not disposed to be put in a false position by the acts of South Carolina- giylng about as many votes in the whole State a5 the county of St. Louis alone-or any other State whatever. They think it far more prudent and patriotic to follow the lead of Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, and with them to doIibe- rate carefully and periodically before they en- gage in the work Of destroying the Cnion.'
