An extra edition Of the Clarksvills ChroAiele
roesived By this mornings mail, gives fun
rcoount of large demonstration held in that
place Yesterday, by men OF al parties, for the
purpose o. expressing themselves upon the war
proclamation Of AnKaHAN LrEooLE. Party
lines were oblitsrStsd, and the voice Of the
masses went up sE one man for resistance to
federal tyranny. Stirring speeches were made
by Hon. J. c. Gum, Of Sumner county, Hon.
GusrAvUs A. HEEEY, Of ClsrksvilIe, and Col.
Ww. A. QUARLEs, Of tie came place.
The following resolutions were presented
and passed unsnimously-the people voting
fo- them irrespective Of previous party pro-
clivitiss:
WHEREAS, The abolition Government at
Washington City, Ia violation Of the Constitn-
ton, has inaugurated a sectional warfare
against the Southern States, the object being
tneir sublugatiou, with view to rule them a.
conquered provinces, and by proclamation
calling FOR sevsntv-lve thousand men to aid IN
this wicked and reasonable design, has insul-
ted The people Of the state OF Tennessee, in
asking 1enDesseesns 70 make war upon those
with whom thew are identified in interest and
blood, in sustaining this uHholy usurpation Of
power. We, the people Of Montgomery county,
regard this action Of the Government as not
only threatening the liberties Of the whole
country, but as the final step taken to ward the
dissolution Of the Union OF these Ststes;'s
determined as we are to resist the expressions
Of the usurpers BY appeal to arms,
Rss5lusd, That Tennessee should at once
withdraw from The Union and unite her fortune
and destiny with the Confederate S ates, and
instead Of sending troops to aid the Hsurpers,
march 10 the defense Of the South.
Pesolpss, That the governor be requested to
convene the legislature, with a view 10 srming
the State and snscting such laws as nav be
necessary 70 declare Tennessee out Of the Fed
ersl Government, and unite Der with the South
ern Confsseracy.
Rssolusd, That there is no time for CO opera
ton with the border slave States: that each
state should act for itself in Immediately with
drawing its allegiance from Government OF
usurpstion and tyranny, as the only means Of
preserving peace and giving security to the
South.
Having thus determined 10 withdraw our al
legiancs TO the Federal Government; We Re-
solre, that we will not elect representatives in
Congress OF The United States. But viii send
them to the Confedersted States at Montgom-
cry. Alabama, and that our representatives in
The Senatorial branch Of the Federal Con-
Eress Be, and they are hereby requested to
resign.
A committee Of five was appointed to pro
coed Immediately to Nashville to-day, and
carry petition signed BY rear six hundred
citizens, FOR an immediate csll Of the lsgisla-
turs. and to take Necessary steps 70 relieve the
State from all allegiance to the Washington
Government.
The Cbroaiels, which has heretofore been
Union pa per, adds @ IN the mean time il was
announced that the Louisville Journal, just re-
csived, was advocating neutrality on the part
OF the border States, or 10 bold still and fold
our hants, and be calm spectators Of the
hatchery Of our southern brethren. This an
nouncemsnt was received with curses upon a
traitor, who could be 50 recresnt to every feel
ing Of homs-aeutralffy Sras assistaHes 70 our
eEsuiss-snd that be who was not FOR US was
against rs"
Indications from every quarter in Tennessee
show tha. the members Of the late Union party
are raIlying with zeal and promplness to The
defense u their native South
