favored the enforcement OF the test, but was
overruled, and as the consequence not more than
half who did vote were entitled to do so, while
at least six Democrats, good and true to my own
knowledge. refused to vote at the meeting be-
cause it was mongrel Republican affair. For
the same reason eight or ten good Democrats re-
fused TO vote at Tysons precinct. Had the
Democrats named voted there would rave been
forty votes at each prccnct-double the vote
polcd last year. The test was voted down at
the Tyson precinct, also. verify believe that

hearty support to the Black Republican ticket in

The question Of the abolition Of slavery is upon

In our opinion the question Of the abolition OF
slavery is NOT upon ISL Banner, FEB. e.
As the most conclusive argument that we could

FROM sHELByyu1E, TENNESSEE.
The people have risen in their strength to put
down the vile serpent of Secession, which would

from now. have heard many substantial men say
during the last month, that they would "sCiaingly

this State who are patiently waiting for the right
opportunity to declare their adherence and detes-

now exists in the South There is 8 report extant

If coercion is attempted (and it ought to be)
there are thousands in Tennessee who will fight for

meat Preserved IN rrola.se,.

"Sugar-cured hams " have long been in fashion
in this country. They are moderately sailed, and
sugar or molasses added TO assist in their preser-
walton. In France, all sorts of fresh meats have
been preserved by molasses alone. An article in
LInuention asserts that meat may be preserved by
molasses alone in the most perfect manner, and
with the following important advantages 1t has
agreeable flavor, it produces no scurvy or other
disorders which result from the use of salt food,
and it may be prepared at a moderate price. The
process consists simply in cutting the meat into
pieces of moderate size and dropping them into mo-
laSses, such as is obtained from the sugar manu-
factories and refneres By natural process of
osmose the lighter juice of the meat pass out, and
the heavier molasses penetrates inward to every
part of the meat. When the external molasses has
acquired a certain degree of liqudity from the
mixture of thu juices of the meat, it is sign
that the meat is thoroughly impregnated. 1t is new
taken out of the molasses, thoroughly washed, and
hung in current Of air to dry. After it is complete
ly dry it may be packed in boxes and sent all ever
the world without experiencing any change what

Coercion.

Bei0rS me late election in this State, the press
ana al the candidates declared against the policy of
uslng 'oFee against the seeded States. Since the
result OIL the election has been ascertained. some
men are taking pretty strong grounds in favor of
coercion, and should Mr.. Lincoln make that a part
of his policy, we predict that ii will receive the
sanction and approval of very respectable party,
in numbers, in Tennessee This announcements ,,,s

Strange, treacherous, and unnatural as it NAV
appear, we fear the prediction of the Cleveland
Banner is too true. Nevertheless, We trust the
number is SO few that they will be consigned to
merited obloquy and shame by the overwhelming
indications of popular opinion.

The merest tyro in knowledge of our Government

nou, deci.,lnr = Lord af.r,,aatd

beyond the famous decision Of Lord Mansaeld n
the of Somerset. But let us admit the prlnci-
pie. What them The Constitution Of the United
States has expressly provided that this principle
shall not apply within the limits of Federal urisdic-
ton. With reference TO this country it has abro-
gated the law; every State lie bound respect the
right of the Southern master to his slave The Con-
stitution covers the whole territory of the Union
and throughout that territory has taken slavery u-
der the protection Of law. However foreign
nations may treat slaves the States of the Con-
federacy are bound to treat them as property, aud
to give them back to their lawful owners How idle
therefore, to plead principle of international law
which, in reference to the relations of the States of
this Union is formally abolished Slavery is clear
iy part Of the municipal law OF the United States;
and the whole argument from the local character
OF the institution falls to the ground Slaveholding
and nonslavehoding are both equally sectional and
both equally national.

A gentleman from Nashville informed us the otLer
day that twelve Mississppians passed through that

visions. What humilating spectacle Lebanon

But the best joke is Mississippisns threaten to
buy no more produce, mules. &c. from Tennessee
because like dutiful child she clings to her mother.
--Patriot.
We regret to learn that Mssissippians are not all
who "threaten TO buy no more produce, mules, &C.,
from Tennessee" We have before us a letter from
Alabama, from which we make the following ex.
tract:
You see that our Congress has passed tariff act
permitting the most If not all ofsyOar procucts to
enter free Of duty But it is applicable equally 70
the same articles which Ohio and the other Black
Republican States of the Northwest send to us.
And let me tell you there is settled DISCRIMINATION
among our people, so far as have heard an eA-
preston of opinion, that they will buy from Oino
before they viii from Tennessee We dld not "a.
meet ANYTHING from Ohio. but we did think lnat

canism of sufficient importance to at least 6 -,

Tennessee is more intimately cennecteu WIN liie

ent on them and without their custom we VIII DC

They have been struggling with Charleston, Sa-
vsnnah. Augusta, Mobile and New Orleans for the
trade of North Georgia, North Alabama, North Mis-
sissippi and East Tennessee. They had come of
victorious but the fruit Of their abors has persisted
and Nashville will no more boast of her millions of
dollars of annual trade. So soon as the organiza-
ton of the Southern Confederacy is completed and
goes into full effect it is probable that our East Ten
nessee trade will be turned to Norfolk and Baltimore
by transit duties which may be levied on goods pass
ing through Georgia and Alabama over the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad. 1t will not do to
say that Tennessee cannot be moved by such consid
creations The people of Tennessee are sensible
people and not yet under the thumb of Gov. JOIN
SON and Mr.. BELL, and, other things being equal,
they will go where their interests lead them. 1t
will be difficult to satisfy them that they have more
to fear in a Southern Confederaey than in Black
Republican Union.

The Peace Conference.

6ng, on their return from the Peace Conference
From thea we learn that the first section of the
Conference proposition, published by us this morn.

Of the section, Rhode Island. New Jersey, Penn

Eerred the first section Of the original Report of the
Committee, but the substitute Of Mr.. FRASKLN, of
Pennsylvania, being adopted in lieu, they then voted
for that. The other sections of the proposition
were adopted with greater unanimity.
As there seems no probability, from the dis

The PLACE TO SEE THE CRIsIs.-It is universally
conceded that Harrisburg is the best point in the
Northern States to get a satisfactory view Of the
crisis The President elect only heard the rum
bling noise in the distance while at Springfield At
indianapolis he saw the shadow. At Cleveland
FAINT outlines of the monster were visible. At Buff
falo he was satisfied the animal was at large but
was convinced he was harmless. In New York the
Irrepressibles kept Old Abe from examining for
himself. Passing through New Jersey and while in
the Quaker City he heard people talking about the
crisis as destroyer; but he never saw the hide
GUS monster fairly until he got to Harrisburg. At
that point he saw the thing, tail and alp and he
promptly decided that It not artificial after all
Let every one who wishes to the crisis go to
