To the Public.

NASHVILLE, January Is, 1861.
Having been informed that several numbers of
the Nashville Democrat of the -th inst, containing
a Misrepresentation of the remarks made by me.
IN the House of Representatives had been mailed
to my constituents, with marks in ink. calling at
tention tn the aforesaid article, procured Of
the envelopes in which the Democrat had been mail
cd and believing it to have been directed in the
handwriting of Alfred Caldwell Esq., (member
from McMnn,) called his attention to the fact in
private interview, upon the floor of the House.
and he admitted that the envelope had been direct
ed by him, thereupon, remarked: 4" That was all
desired to know" and returned to my seat He
caldwell came Immediately to me and warmly
protested against any attempt to njure me with my
constituents that he did not have any purpose to
injure or misrepresent by calling the attention
of my constituents to the article in the Democrat

the same time mail to my constitutes the UNION
AND AMERICAN, containing the remarks made on
the floor of the House, denouncing the article in
the Democrat as false, and wilfuly false he be-
ing informed of that fact. To which he replied,
that he had mailed that paper to many as he
could remember. However innocent may have
been the intention of Mr.. Caldwell, the wrong has
been done me; the paper, an informed, has been
extensively circulated calling special attention to
the offensive and false article therefore deem it
due to myself to present to the public the true YER
sion Of this unpleasant affair.

The Position and Sentiments of Major
Anderson.

The Petersburg Express OF yesterday says
Lieutenant r. K Meade of the Engineer Corps
at Fort Sumter, has been in our city, on a visit
home, for several days past. Several geatlemen
with whom he has conversed informs tina: he
speaks in the highest terms of Major Anderson not
only brave and fearless soldier, but strong
and true Southern man. mis- position in the present
state of affairs, however, rendering impossible for
him 70 take any other position before the peore Of
the South and Of the Union. He does not feel in the
slightest complimented by the fanatc1l cannonhring
in his honor at the North. and it is with pain
fear, even embarrassment, that he realizes the
present attitude of the South towards him. That
he loves the South, that he prefers it every social
tie gives ample testimony. He is bound by the holy
ties of wedlock of the fairest of the fair of
Georgia. daughter of General Clinch. He has
four devoted brothers. every one of whom it is said
is strong Secessionst. Add to this he is Southerner
by birth. and descendant ofrevolutonary sires,we
need hardly more to give US assurance that he not
only loves his native South, but WILL at the proper
time and in an honorable manner, draw the sword
in her defence.
These are simple differences frcra facts as known
Not syllable has fallen from the lips of Lieut..
Meade, to lead to the remotest deduction that Major
Anderson will nos perform his whole duty TO the
Governmental the United States. But that he viii

The State Central Southern-Rights, Anti Coercion
Committee have offered US an armfu of letters for
inspection, very many OF which we should take
great pleasure in publishing, but for the pressure
upon our columns. They all breathe the right
spirit We have never, indeed, known such enthu-
siasm as they exhibit rights to the back
bone and no mistake. The heart Of the people is
with US. All theyReed is light to understand fully,
what must soon be apparent to the blindest that
the Union is already dissolved and that Tennessee
has only to choose between association with friends
of the South and encmies of the North.

BUFFALO. Dec. 10. 1860.

The New York World publishes the subjoined
letter from Mr.. FILLMORE. The letter explains
itself:
BUFFALO, Dec. 10, 1860.
Hon. JOHN A. DIx-1fy Dear Sir: Your favor of
the l7th inst, incosng the proceedings of Union
meeting" held on Saturday evening" in New York,
did not reach me until yesterday afternoon.
have read the whole proceedings with great
interest, and | cannot feel otherwise than hattared
that the distinguished and patriotic men compOs-
ing that meeting thought me worthy to compose
one of delegation of three TO proceed to the
South with a view to make such explanations to
our Southern brethren in regard 20 the subjects
embraced in tho address and resolutions (adspted
by the meeting,) as they may deem necessary,
and to give such further assurances as may be
needed TO manifest our determination to maintain
their rights"
This is certainly an honorable and patriotic mis-
sion and did believe it could do any good should
not hesitate a moment to undertake it. But you
will pardon me for saying frankly that in my opin-
ion, our Southern brethren require no assurances
beyond that of the meeting, and the address and
resolutions, to convince them that the members of
that meeting, and those they represented, are,
and at all times hare been lctuing to do them justice and
have done their utmost to maintain their coastitu-
tonal rights and to go there and inform them mere
ly of this fact, which Is all can do, is, in my
opinion, 9 work of supererogation.
EWhat they want, and whatI want, Is some GSs's-
once from the Repuollean party, now DOMINANT at
the North, that they, at least the conservative
portion of them, are ready and willing to for
ward and repeal all unconstitutional State laws,
live up to the compromises of the Constitution, ex-
ecute the laws of Congress honestly and faithfully,
and treat our Southern brethren as friends. When
have any such reliable assurance as this to give,
l will go most cheerfuy and urge our Southern
brethren to follow example and restore harmo-
ny and fFaternaI affection between the North and
South.
At present our laboPs should be here. Let us put
ourselves right and then we can with more conf
dence and justice appeal to them; and am happy
to say that recent indications lead me to hope that
this may be done. am especially gratfed to see
the patriotic and sensible article in the Albany Jour
nal of last Monday. Standing, as the senior editor
of that paper does at the head of his party, 1T re-
quired great moral courage and good sense and de-
voted patriotism to ndite and publish such an ar
ticle But regard it an evidence that there are
men in the Republican party, who have been Fe-
garded as most ultra who seethe danger that threat
ems, and are willing to sacrifice all false pride, and
even party itself, to save the country. | cannot
doubt that there are many more such; and from
that source look for the salvation OF the country
But cannot say more. ! have written in the ut
most haste, that substitute may be appointed in
my place / am truly yours,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In IIinois.

The following resolutions were introduced into
the Illinois House of Representatives, on the 18th
inst, by W. II. GREEN, the Representative from Mas
sac, and after having been printed and considered,
were rejected by almost strict party VOTE only one
Black Republican UotiRg for them:
WHEREAS, We believe our Federal Union is in
danger of revolutionary disruption by the with
d-awal of fifteen of the States; and whereas, we be-
lieye the Union to be of priceless value, and not
be preserved by military force but by the restora-
ton of fraternal feeling among the States:
l. RESOLVED By The House Of Representatives, Tie Sen
ate coacuing That it the prompting OF patriotism
and the dictate of wisdom to make an earnest effort
to save the Union by Cancellation and concession;
and therefore, in the spirit of compromise, we
would be willing to accept the amendments to the
Constitution. proposed in the United States Senate
by Hon. John J. CritteDden, as means of rallying
the conservative men Of all the States in mainten-
auce of the Union.
,. That we call upon Congress. through our Sen
atOrs and Representatives, TO assemble a Convention
OF all the States, to amend the Constitution in such
manner viii bring peace to the country, consist
entity with the equality of the States and the rights of
the citizen.
3. That we recognize the daty and power Of the
Federal Government TO protect the property of the
United States And we recognize and declare the
duty and power of the Fedeaal Government, through
the civil authorizes TO enforce all laws passed in
pursuance of the Constitution; but distinctly de-
nv that the Federal Government has any constitu-
tional power to call out the militia to execute those
laws within the limits and jurisdiction of any State
except in aid of the civil authorizes.
And yet with such indications as these we are
told that the Northern States almost certain to
up and offer the South just guarantees for her
rights. Itshould be remembered that the CRITTEN
DEN proposition is the very least that any Southern
man, who pretends to cherish any devotion to our
rights is willing to accept. ILLINOIS REJECTS TIE

We commend this language to the calm consider
alton of those Tennesseeans who arc not aroused to
snese of the crisis that is upon us. 1t is the LAM
guage of a gallant Northern man:
So far as we can learn the united voice of the De-
mocracy of Maine is that the difficulties between the
North and South must be compromised, or the sepa-
ration of the States SHALL BE PEACEABLE. If
the Republican party refuses to go the full length of
the Crittenden amendment, which is the very least
the South can or ought to take, then here in Maine
not a Democrat will be found who will raise an arm
against his brethren of the South. 1t is enough
that the Black Republicans have robbed US of our
glorious Union. They shall not now precipitate us
into an unjustfable and cruel civil war. From one
end of the State to the other let the cry of the De-
mocracy be COMPROMISE" or PEACEABLE
SEPARATION!
