We publish this morning the resolutions on Fede-
raj Relations passed BY our General Assembly.
They are the same which passed the House on Mon
day, and appeared IN our Legislative Report, yes
terday morning.
Their passage will prove highly gratifying
to every Tennessean who believes in State equal
ity, and abhors equality with the negro. They
enInciate clearly and distinctly the principles which
Legislators believe sacred to their constituents
and necessary for the preservation of their safety
and their honor. The vote by which they were
passed-56 to in the House Is to in the Senate
is creditable to the State Although the mode OF
securing our rights suggested by the resolutions is
not the mode that we think the Lest yet we are con-
tent to give it fair trial. We believe that the
surest and only practicable way of attaining sue
cess is for all the States of the South to dissolve
their connection with the Black Republican States
and then begin the work of reconstruction. So
long as we remain in the Union, so long will our
Northern enemies believe that they have xts ong
Marty in our midst who are with them elti-
ment.
We hope that these resolutions will receive the
immediate and favorable attention of every other
Southern State, and that each of them will appoint
delegates to meet us on the 4th of February. The
Resolutions propose as the place of meeting Nash
vile or such other place the States cooperating
nav designate" Some of the States South of US
have already appointed meeting at the same time
at Montgomery, Alabama. We hope that the sug-
gestion of Nashville by our Legislature not
prevent general meeting somewhere. .

What Louisiana is going TO do, may be best in
ferred from the following comment on the eonven-
ton election, taken from the Picdy,ne, of the
strongest and most unyielding cooperation papers
in the whole South:
The vote in this city prefgures the result in the
State. The chief hope Of the favorers of united
Southern action, as opposed to immediate disanion,
was in carrying the city for the co-operatonists.
The canvass of votes. which shows twenty Immedi-
ate secessionsts to five eooperationists- majority
of fifteen in the convention from this parish-settles
the point that Louisiana will be with the seeding
States as fast As the forms of making the enact
ment by ordinance can be got through. at the Con
vention on the 23d. The developments around us,
in every direction are sufficient indications, how
ever that this was only question of time. The
sectional majority in Congress, and the triumphant
Republicans of the Northern States, have willed
it. that there Is no Union party left in the Southern
States p" =

The Hammer ON Seward.

On the 4th of November 1858, the Banner, COM
menting on SCENARIOS enunciation, few days before,
of the s.lrrepressible conflict" said:
The utterance OF such an infamous sentiment
has Blaced Senator Seward within the pale Of the
abolition organization. Heretofore he has made
some pretensons to nationality and has professed to
be a Republican. But when he declares that the
country husband will become wholly free or wholly
slave territory, and that the party TO which I've be
longs is devoted to the task of making that country
free he places himself by the side ofL!oyd Garrison
and Gerrit Smith lie no longer has the ShadOJr Of
claim to nationality. and 10 not hesitate to de-
saSre that the election OF such TO the PTesi-
eSey would be the instant signal for the dissolution
of the Union. With the avowsl ef such sentiment
upon has lips he would go into the Presidential chair,
II elected, pledged to the power and patronage
of the General Government for the extinction of
slavery. Such interference or such pledge 10 in
terfere with the domestic affairs Of the Southern
people would not be tolerated one moment We
know the threats Of the Souh have become contempt
dble in the eyes of the North from having be en-
made so often without any intention of carrying them
iSto execution We never indulge in the idle luxury
Of making threats but we state it as fact which
cannot be disputed or denied that the Federal Union
could net exist a single day after the election OF
William Ii. Seward to the Presidency while the above
declaration is unexplained and unretracted. lie

nomination bat we feel assured that if nominated

The Senatess Vote on the Crittenden Pro.
positions.

Gov JOHNSON telegraphed last week that CRIryEN-
DENIS plan of compromise had been defeated in the
Senate aby BESJANIs, SIIDELL and other Southern
ers not voting" 1t now turns ont that not Black
Republican Senator voted for the proposition. This
is a good illustration of the proclivity of some
pseudo Southerners to cast odium upon the South
and to excuse our Black Republican enemies in all
issues between them. BENJAMIN, SLIDEIL, and other
Southern Senators did not vote. If they had voted
for proposition, which amounts to nothing, as eX-
pIsined by the author of it, that would be Of the
slightest advantageto the South the passage of 1t by
the votes of Southern members could have been OF
no advantage. There must be a CONCESSION by the
dominant faction to avail anything in settlement
of the question. Therefore the votes of Southern
Senators. without the support of Black Republican
Senator's. could not avail.
Yet these Black Republican Senator's vote against
the proposition to man, and nothing is said about
il in Senator JoHNsoNs dispatch. lie fails to notify
the people he represents that there is any sign of re-
turning Justice among those who have injured and
ipsuted the South and takes especial care to state
that Southern Senator's have defeated the measure
By failing TO vote. Can there be an instance OF
more fragrant partialIty to those he should combat
AND of hate against those he should CHERISH exhibit
