VIM. Cummins was called to the chair, and
on motion, committee was appointed to
draft resolutions, consisting of o. f. Atkei-

E. Jones addressed the meeting in an elo-
quent and stirring manner in behalf of the
South. At the conclusion of their remarks.
the committee reported the following resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The present administration, in
its mad fanaticism. has seen fit to attempt CO.
ercion of the Southern States by the strong
arm of military force, thereby establishing a
virtual military deSpotism, contemplating a
total subversion of their liberty; aud as the
Northern section votes arms and money for
this fell attempt, disregarding the modera-
ton of the Border States, Conforming theis
proposals for pacifcation and acting with
perfidy and treachery to them.
Resolred, That it now behoOves the State
Of Tennessee to stand by her Southern sis-
tiers, as she has already declared through her
Legisl AZURE in answer to the State of New
York.
RESOLVED, That the Governor should con-
vene the Legislature to effectually arm and
equip the militia, placing the State on such
war footing as will enable it to resist any
invasion of her soil and render such assis-
lance to the South as an identity of interest
and a community of blood demands.
Resoired, That Tennesseans will never be
agents in their own subjugation and in
placing the yoke on their own necks.
In addition to the foregoing the following
resolution was proposed by DR.. John S. Park
and unanimously adopted.
Resolued, That in order to facilitate the
meeting of a Convention at the earliest day
possible we suggest that the people should
hold primary meetings. put forward candi-
dates in every county for election, and that
the Legislature be requested TO legalize the
election and appoint meeting of the dele
gates without delay to consider their rela-
ton to the late United States.

The Demand for an Extra Session
of the Legislature.


From all points il the non -slaveholding
States. We hear no sound bat that of war
like preparation. We can detect no ray of
hope for peace in any quarter If the North
ern sky. Past party affiliations and antipa-
thies are forgotten, and one thought, one de-
sire and one hope seems to animate the peo-
pie. ard that is of and for war to the bitter
end for the subjugatiOn of the Southern
States. The conservatism of that section is
annihiliated or overwhelmed. Mr.. FILLMORE,
Mr.. BUCHANAN, Gen. CAss, Dir. DOUGLAS, and
the other distinguished men to whom the
South has been accustomed TO turn its eyes
as champions against fanatieism have fallen
before the tornado of passion which is sweep
ing from one extremity to the other, and are
speaking in favor of sustaining the anti
slavery administration in the vigorous prose-
cu,ioa of that ubiquitous war. Madness
rrigns supreme over all The Northern
armies are forming with astounding rapidly.
In this dreadful crisis Tennessee has set
her face against the war, and has placed her
self in a revolutionary attitude towards that
government which Is waging it. She must
now sustain her position at whatever cost or
at whatever hazard. She has no time to lose
in preparing for it. Practically. she is as
much in rebellion to the government at
Washington as any of the seeded Ssates-
If Mr.. LIxcOLS chooses to regard it so, it
may be but fea weeks before he will launch
his armies upon us. But whether be should
do so or not. we have the States of Virginia,
North Carolina. Kentucky, Arkansas and
Missouri standing with US, and their cause is
also ours. We are bound to do our part in
this struggle, whether the red wing of war
wave over our soil or not. We must join
our friends in meeting the Northern horde on
our common borders. or wherever else it may
become necessary. These are words of grave
import. but they are none the less to be
needed because we now speak and hear
them spoken for the first time, or because
they may be harsh and ungrateful to our
ears. Let therefore the Legislature be called
together. without delay, to put the State liz
a condition of defence, and to take such
other steps as wisdom may suggest touching
her relations with the other States.
