GEN. ScoTT.-It is becoming fashionable
now, in certain quarters, to denounce this
gallant soldier aud patriot, because he has
endeayored to wrest the President from the
possession of the nest Of traitors who have
been using him TO advance the schemes Of the
disunionists, aud to cause hin t. protect the
dignity and honor of the federal government.
The brave old chief has done nothing more
than his duty. Until his government surrcn-
ders to the disuRionists, and agrees that q
seeding State is really out of the Union.
and the property Of the federal government
in them must be resigned, that prop
erty should be held and those who hold il
protected against assault.
But whilst Gen. SCOTT, as IN officer of the
federal government Is discharging his duty as
such, he is, as lover Of his country, lending
bis great talents and influence to the cause of
Cancellation and compromise. He Is exerling 2
himself constantly to effect an adjustment,
urging all parties to assent TO the Crittendea
propositions His stern maintenance OF the
rights of the government, gives him addi-
sional weight as counsellor of pacifcatIor.
We trust that he may be successful in pre-
serving the dignity and honor of the Fede-
raj Government, and in his labors IS a Paci-
hcator. There is vast difference between
holding and protecting property of his coun-
{ try, and eoereing State. We should de-
precate the latter, whilst 60 long as We sit
under the stars and the stripes. we viii In

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 16, 1861,
Re pa,ient-Bide Your Time.

Two months ago there were but few per,
sons in Tennessee so bold as to declare the
election of ABRAHAM LNCoLS sufficient cause
for dissolution of the Union, All felt more
or less keenly that it was victory of the
anti-slavery sentiment of the country, gained
it is true through unfortunate divisions in
the ranks of The opponents of the republican
party, but still ominoGs of evil. 1t was ap'
pretended that his administration would in
augurate policy, on the part of the federal
government, which might prove ruinous to
the South. But, disunion was not thought
of as remedy. Prudent, sagacious, con-
seryative men, of all shades of political
opinion nearly, counseled fOrbeararce and
moderation, coupled with frmness in the
protection and defence of our rights. We
might by such q course preserve our rights
and the Union. What has happened within
the past sixty days to justify departure
from this policy? Congress has assembled,
and we have seen proposition after PROPOSE
ton, made to quiet the people, voted down
and we have seen States hurried, without
tex ofrevolation, Tor secession is but the dis
guise of revolution. We have seen forts and
other property of the general government,
seized under the advice of men reckless OF
their own and others good apparently with
view to force the shedding of blood. But
these are only additional reasons why Ten
nessee should keep cool, and preserve pa
tient, forbearing policy to the end In the
midst of so much anger and heat, storm and
confusion, there is need of the leaEen OF calm
and deliberate counsel. A government which
has been the source of so many blessings TO
US as a people, should not be parted with
until every means TO bring the majority in
the North, who have made az gressiOus upon
US, and threaten our domestic Institutions.
TO just appreciation of our rights, have
been exhausted. Let US take time to appeal
to them. to get their sober thought, and then
if they deliberately refuse Us the guarantees
we ask, we can join the revolution, and cast
our lots with our sisters In Southern Union.
We shall then have dJne our whole duty to
our country, ourselves, and our posterity.
If dissolution is to be forced upon Us by
the action of the free States, we desire a
Union composed of all of the slave States.
We have no sympathy with those Southern
leaders who would reject any one Of them.
We would have a Union of all of them Under
government secured against secessionisu
for after the experience of the present period,
no government which tolerates that dogma
could be respectable. efficient or stable. All
of them. in body. Joined in revolution
would make that revolution peaceable; and
could in addition enforce demand for d.
vision of the territory and other property OF
the old Federal Union.
Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-01-16

We have read the whole of Mr.. SEWARD S
speech, as published in the Cincinnati Com
n,ercial of Monday. IT is an extremely able
effort, and is kind and conciliatory in its tone.
His picture of the evils OF disunion is vivid,
and ii he felt it to be true, he failed most
Iamentably to show his faith by his works.
He ought to have exhibited disposition to
make real sacrifice to preserve the Union,
and to avert the impending dangers which
. he SO e!oquently and feelingly portrayed
What chance he had TO render his name
glorious forever as one of those statesmen
who caused the Union, IN his own language,
TO CONTINUE and endure and whom men in
after times shall declare surpassed in mag
nanimity even the generation which laid its
foundations in the eternal principles of liber-
ty, justice and humanity He lowered the
':irrepre5siblc conflict standard, and made
pacific overtures, but did not come up to the
requirements OF the occasion. Let him take
another step ia advance, and make himsell
immortal rs the Savior of his Country. As
to- chief Of those who have built up the re-
publicaa party, and brought the present COM
plicatiens upon the country. he can, if he
viii, roll up the scroll of discord, and Gauss
the land to smile again.

The BORDER STATEs.-We learn from the
Tallahassee (Florida) Sentinel that Gen.
WADDY THOMPSON made speech in that
place on the 4th inst. He Is Il seces,ionist
and in favor of Cotton Confederacy. In
his speech be announced that he did not de-
sire the border slave States to become mem
bers of that Confederaoy; he preferred that
they should remain as they are, 80 that we
may realize in the fact the idea Of the boy.
who when his father complained Of the SOUR
rels eating the outside rows of his corn, very
honestly said-fWhy have any outside rows.'
This Illustration was rs forcibIe as it vas
brilliant"
Gen. THoMPsoS evidently adheres to the
original programme of the disunionists, which
was to exclude Virginia, Maryland. Della
ware, Tennessee Kentucky, and Missouri
In 1855, Mr.. YANCEY did not believe these
States could be trusted. In 1861. Mr. Wal
kER, the Alabama Commissioner, is willing
to let Virginia and Tennessee come in, and
endeavors to se6uce Tennesse from her ale
glance to the Union by the promise of 4 pro-
tective tariff which will make her, il man
ufacturing point of view, the Massachusetts,
of the Southern Confederacy! We presume
the indictment for Virginia to come in will
be the privilege of furnishing the Cotton
lords with negroes
