GTSrLEaEy: Your letter of the 9Th inst has just
reached Inc. Like every other document which comes
from the South, there is in your letter mixture OF
truth and error For instance, you cay, through the
distorting medium of the pres. there is munderstand
ing between the North and the South" Now 1t Is
true that the press has distorted tie truth in certain
instances in the Norh-and entirely suppressed TIN the
South in every instance where il did not accord with
the interest of Slavery. But cannot believe there is
any longer MISUNDERSTANDING betweent the North aud
the South" There is but one question now, vn Hare

The deed is done And black deed II ls-the Leg
xItnre Of Tennessee in Secret Session passed an Or
-iinauce of Secession--voiing the State out of the
Eedera Union aud changing the Federal Relations OF
a State thereby affecting TO the great INJURY OF Ihe
people their most important earthly Interests Inc
men who did this deed in secret conclaye were elected
4uo wears AGO and they were elected and swore 10
aunport the Constitution of the United States, ana the
igations of that oath must rest upon them until their
eaccesiors are elected They have dared pass an or
liuanee that is really unconstitutional unJusthable
aud s upon the whole vile act OF usurpalon IEey
sv tbat he extraordinary emergencies Of the times de-
aDded this outrage will not do with those OF us VINO
know the State of Tennessee has not been oppressed
and not invaded by hostile foe, and Is not kely TO
be unless we invite or provoke an attack III has oeeh
zhe policy Of all usurpe in all ages, TO excuse then
eeves for the exercise Of arbitrary power ntenced at
once to oppress the people and to deprive 'nen oi 'e
liberties.
The apology for doing this deed in secret session IT,
that would not doto act with open doors and thereby
let tie United States Government know what was
aranspirDg This Is only pretext for this act- was
10 prevent the People of Tennessee from knowing
what vile work they were engaged in, and applying
the remedy. They did not want the real people to
read the speeches OF Union delivered in that body
who gave reasons, numerous and strong, why Ten
oessee should not 90 into JEFF. Daviss repudiating
ConfedeIacy. But unprinciped politicians have re-
solved upon governing the people, and TO induce them
10 submit they must keep them in the dark as TO their
vile schemes.

fhs Ordinance Of Secession and all trains OF evils such
Ss enormous taxes and the raising OF fifty thousand
