This distinguished citizen of bedford, hitherto
srdenty attached to the Union but now in favor OF
uniting our destinies with the Southern COnfedera-
cy, addressed large and enthusiastic crowd at
Richmond on Saturday last. taking bold and strong
ground for Southern Independence. We are told he
said in the course of his speech that there was no
Union, and there could be Union party, and they
who still claimed to hold that position nothing
but the Lincoln party in Tennessee. That such
would be trampled under foot by the impetuous
tread of war, and would die the death of dogs. He
would call man traitor, for many through
ignorance still maintained position which un-
true to the South. Col. Gentry, was listened to
with marked attention land enthusiastically cheered
throughout the entire discourse.
With almost an entire unanimity, the leading men
and poititious in Tennessee rslying to the sup
port of the Soxth against the threatened invasion of
the North, and we pray God the day may speedily
roll round when the perJured Lincoln will not find an
advocate in TeRnessee-SheEbyUileE rpoSitor May %

"A THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF is an old maxim
The New York Herald expresses the following opin-
ion of Gov. HICKS of Maryland. If the Herald is
correct, have doubt it is, the fellow should
be hung upon the first occasion that presents itself
Maryland has passed through the fiery ordeal of a
powerful desperate and fearful conspiracy but she
has been saved She saved in the first instance
through the frmness of Governor Hicks, from De-
cember to March, against all the pleadngs and all
the threatenings of the Baltimore secession eauge
behalf of extra session of the State Legislature
Had he yielded to these demands and convened the
Legislature in December, January or February, we
have every reason to believe that the State would
not only have been hurried into the abyss of re-
bellion. but would have armed and precipitated
revolutionary mob upon Washington in the nick of
time to expel the outgoing Administration of Mr..
Buchanan and the incoming Administration of Mr..
Lincoln. But through his opposition to the seces-
sion schemers and his sessonsble Information TO Mr.
Buchanan and General Scott, the credit is due to
Gov. Hicks of having, in the first instance, saved
both Maryland and Washington from armed rev
dictionary occupation.

erroneous. 1t has been stated that the boat was
