We have the pleasure of laying before our readers
to-day, the able and eloquent speech delivered by
Robert P. Dick, Esq, in Convention on his propo-
sitiou to submit the Permanent Constitution Of the
Confederate States to the people at the polls.
Mr.. Dick added to his reputation while in the
Convention, by his genial manners, his frankness,
and the ability he brought to the discharge of his
duties He is democrat of the old school, and a
steadfast friend of the people. He does not profess
one thing and do another

AmPndmaaf-

The ordinance published in our last relating to
the transfer of troops to the Confederate Govern
ment, was not complete. The publication of the Or
dinance in the Standard, which was true copy as
enrolled, led to the discovery Of the omission of an
important amendment by Mr.. Biggs, which was
adopted We endeavored to procure it for this num-
Der, but failed. The amendment of Mr.. Bggs places
all the volunteer troops now raised which are not
accepted by President Davis at the disposal of the
Legislature, as stated in another article.

THE LOUISVILLE Observation-Disclosures, we venture
20 say, in the whole country, has this paper been
more highly esteemed or more generally read, than
in Carksvile. All classes and parties sought it as
. vehicle Of literature and news, and men Of its
party relied upon its teachings to an extent that
gave it almost unbounded influence. What we
say of the estimation of the Journal, here we may
say truly, we believe, of its popularity and nfu-
ence Throughout the State. Now however, mat
lion, our people began to suspect the Journals
Northern leanings, and to doubt the propriety Of
its teachings; and every day since has added
strength to their suspicious and to their doubts I'M
til at last with Lncolns calling out OF 7t,0o0 men
10 force the South into submission, and the Jour
mats defense of that movement, and its evident
leanings, on nearly all questions with the North,
drove the people here to believe that the Journal
could no longer be regarded friendly to the cause
of Southern Rights and Southern Honor They
reached this conclusion though, with evident re-
gree and could not but feel lingering respect for
the paper and its editors until their fierce and vim
dictive abuse of Tennessee for asserting her right
to resist Lincons of oppression and subugation,
destroyed that lingering feeling of respect, and
aroused in them one of indignant resentment
A large number of subscribers, here have order
ed their paper to be stopped and others will yet do
SO. Its sale by the Newsboys too, is virtually at
an end, and all its influence entirely lost. We are,
ourselves, truly sorry that the Journal has pursued
n course that led to this but they only can be
blamed for the result Our people are right to re-
pudiate it. Lincolns friends can be only our en-

REV. A. l.. HAMILTON.

The friends of this estmable gentleman land
they are egion) will be sorry to hear that he in
tends resigning his post President of the C1Grts-
vile Female academy and removing from our city
The unsettled state of the country has led him to
this step which he regrets as much as any one.
Rev. J. s. Malone has purchased DIR. Hamiltons
interest," aud will continue to keep this Institution
the pride of our city-in go-ahead condition.
Our readers are well aware that through the in
dOmitabIe energy aud perseverance of DR.. Hamil-
ton this Institution built up and, as if by mag
ic, at once took rank with the first in the land
We deeply regret to give him the parting hand,
but believing as we do, that he is acting for the
best, we reluctantly say goodbye" To the peo-
pie of Alabama, whittier he is going, we commend
the Dr. as high-toned christian gentleman well
worthy their kind regards and any position they
may see proper to give him. He is thorough bred
Virginia gentleman and every pulsaton Of his gen.
eroas heart is for our glorious South. We hope
soon to see him engaged in getting up something
ia the way of standard Southern Literdtre--long
desideratum and now necessity, with Southern
people. In whatever position the future may place
him. we wish him the greatest success to which
his gentlemanly bearing and high moral character
SO justly entite him.
We will have word to say, at some future time

the Academy under its new conductor.

WoRKi--Al that we want--all that is necessa-
ry-to secure an overwhelming majority in favor of
Southern Rights, and Tennessee's independence, on
the 9th of June is that the people shall fully
derstand the matter which they are then to vote;
aud tc this end we urge our friends to 90 to work.
Let the people know how deceitful and treacher-
GUS has been Lincolns dealing with the South
how noby Tennessee stood up for the Union and for
peace--ony askinga guarantee of those plain, con-
sttutional rights to which she, in with the
entire South, WIS undeniably entitled; how pa
tiently she waited for the North to recognize and
cencede those rights; aud then tell them how con
temptuousy her demands have been treated; how
Lincoln while deluding with professions of peace
and goodwill was bending all his energies in Sc
'cret preparation for and how, at last, utterly
disregarding his pledges he forced upou the South
the bombardment Of Fort Sumpter, and thus inau-
gurated civil war.
Let the people fully understand ths---snd further
that Dincoln has sworn, now. either to compel the
South to submission devastate her fields with FIRE
and the sword that the war has begun; that nc
feeling but bitter undying haerd of the South has
caused it that Tennessee did all she could avert
it--but in vain that she cannot now stop it that
= the dissolution Of the Union is done and past and
In now final and eternal and Tennessee is only LEFT
TO choose whether she viii ride with her ENEMIES OF
her rRlRNDs-with abolitonism and nigger-equal
ty, or with the South and her white men rights.
These nre points our people ought fully TO under
stand, and if they do the result cannot be doubtful
But We must work for it, Our enemies here, tho
few, are dangerous. Let every friend of the SoutI
do what he can, from now till the 9Th of June, 70
the cause OF Southern Rights, and all will be well
W 8 10 not donbt the Issue, but we want to make i
sure.
