Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1861-04-19
A Warming Voice from she North.

We make the following extract from a letter adj
dressed to Mr.. BURcH, Of this paper, written by q
friend, residing in the Northwest. This letter
was written week ago. and all its predictions have
since been verified:
Il only express the opinion of thousands Of the
wisest and best men of the nation, when say, the
time for q reconstruction of the Government has
passed. do not think the Black Republicans de-
sire it upon basis that would be acceptable, even
to the Border States. Now the reins of Govern
ment in the hands of Lincoln and his party, they
see men living in the Border States, applying and
accepting small Offices under Lincoln, they desire
compromise; they take it for granted the Southern
States, yet in the Union, willing to abide the
rule of the Black Republicans, Internationally
and so IL seems. The Black Republicans here have
ceased to talk Of a compromise and advocate CO.
erciOn. think it both the policy and duty of Ten
nessee and the Border States, 10 adopt the Consti
tuition of the Confederated States, without delay
By so ding, in my opinion, it will avert war, moth
ing else will If the Border States by their nom
action, permit Mr.. Lincoln to make war on the
Confederated States, in any 1ody, such blame will
rest with them, for sooner or latter these Border
States, will have TO adopt the Constitution of the
COnfederated States. This think Inevitable South
Carolina is very much abused for passing las is
said) the first Secession Ordinance, "a mistaken
idea.) The first Secession Ordinance ever passed
to dissolve the Union and break up the Constitution
Of the United States, was passed by the Black Re-
ppollcan party IN Convention, at chicago, on the
= day of - 1860, it was there dissolution of
the Union was first proclaimed, and now proclaimed
by their chosen champion as the law. The seces-
sion resolutions passed at Chicago by the Black Re-
publican party that nominated Lincoln has proven,
the death kne of the Constitution and the union of
the States. (Let them cease to abuse South Caro-
lina) stated in short address when in Nashville
that a settlement of pending difficulties should by
all means be adopted before LIncoln got hold on
the purse strings of the nation. then stated, delay
would prove delusiVe, and war inevitable. Ny state
ments have almost been verified to the letter, and
before this reaches you the booming of will
be heard all along the shores of the Atlantic, and
may God youchsafe the victory to my native South.
Mr.. Lincoln was elected by sectional party; he
selected sectional cabinet; and all his appoint
ments of any character are from the North; he has
completely ignored the South-the Border States
although in his inaugural he promised to respect
and maintain the rights and interest of the South
equally with the North, he has failed to redeem his
pledges, and is at this time making war prepare
tions to march an army to subdue our brothers of
the Confederate States. VIII, ask, this kind of pol
icy restore harmony and frsternal feeling? Never!
never!! The Southern cup of shame is now full,
and he that does not dash 1t from HIM is q craven
