This is the cry now raised. BY refer
ence to the bill, the material portions OF
which will be found in our columns, it
will be seen that the War Tax is just
eight cents to the one hundred dollars on
general taxables, such as lands, negroes,
&C.; and quarter cen. to the dollaron the
invoice sales of merchandise. Eighty
cents on the thousand dollars worth is
awful. 1t is estimated by Northern papers
that the cost of subiugating the Southern
or Slave States will be not less than eight
hundred million dollars-and that the
expenses of the war will be levied ON the
conquered States. 1t is a pity that parties
who are trying to brighten the people in
to submission with the cry of taxation,
can't push their investigations little fur
ther, and tell the whole truth.

Don't Relieve Tt.

1t is reported that the Lincoln Cabinet
has promised money and Federal troops
to certain parties in East Tennessee. We
don't believe word of it. We have no
doubt parties in East Tennessee are in
correspondence with the government at
Washington, but we do not believe they
represent anybody but themselves. Mr.
Lincoln will have use on the other side
of the Blue Ridge for all the troops he
can raise in the next six months; an;!
such as are unctifying their dark and
fearful souls with the hope of seeing a
Black Republican army marching into
East Tennessee, had as well let the delu-
sion pass away from them at once. They
will hardly reach here; and if they should
but few of them will ever return.

HenrY CLAY.

The Abolition press, with characteristic
baseness, attempt to bolster their unrigh-
tcous cause by publishing garbled OK
tract from the speech of Henry Clay in
Senate, July ODD, 1850. They quote as
follows:
eff Kentucky tomorrow unfurls the
banner of resistance, never will fight
under that banner. / owe a paramount
allegiance to the whole Union, subor-
dina.e one to my own State"
The exact language used by the great
Kentuckan is published on page 5GG of
the sixth volume of "Colton's Works of
Henry Clay" and reads as follows. Mark
the difference!
"If Kentucky tomorrow unfrrls the
banner Of resistance uNJusTIY, ! never
will fight under that banner. owe para
mount allegiance to the WHOLE UyIoN-a
subordinate one to my own State. When
my State is right, when it has cause for
resistance, when tyranny and wrong and
oppression insutlerable arise, | will then
share her fortunes"

Mr.. Line oln's Kentucky Troops.

The public has been informed that two
regiments have been raised in Kentucky
and rendered to Mr.. Lincoln for Service
in his warof subjugation against the South.
We learn from the Louisville Courier of
yesterday that Mr.. Terrell who commands
one of these so-callcd regiments is an ex-
abolition editor from Lafayette, Indiana;
and that Mr.. Guthrie, the Colonel of the
other regiment, was at one time, for Il
few weeks only, resident of Newport,
in the State Of Kentucky, and while there
distinguished himself as noisy secession
list. Neither has any right to assume to
be Keniuckian. As the material out
of which these regiment are composed,
we may take as authentic the following
from speech delivered in the Indiana
Legislature, by Mr.. Allen, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives on last
Wednesday. Mr.. Allen said:
"lndivdiuals in Kentucky, on their
own responsibility, had raised those
troops. In the two regiments rendered
to the General Government nineteen out
of every twenty were citizens of Cncin-
natl. A responsible gentleman, Mr.. Rich
ard Corwin. OF Cincinnati, has so informed
him, stating the facts upon his own per-
sonal knowledge and after reviewing the
troops informally"

Tho Rierest Thunder Yet !

The South has wahed up an awful GUS
toner in Porkopolis. We u'not see what
is to become of her now that the laws OF
this frightful monster are opened to u,
your her. Just see what her fate is to be,
as decroed by the Cincinnati Commercial:
Let us have no mincing matters. We
want the Louisville Courier, the Nashville
Union and American, the Memphis Ava-
In,che, and other sheets of that character,
to understand that the Union is not dis
solved-that coercion is now the policy of
the Administration the rebels are to
be whipped into submisson-that the
Union is to be cemented in blood, if
blood be demanded for its consolidation ;
that the laws of the United States are to
De executed at the point of the bayonet
and the mouth of the cannon-that jeff.
Davis and his usurpation are to he crush
ed out-that the assumed fright Of Sc
cesslon" is to be annhilated as the Sepoy
traitors of India were blown from the
English cannon-that the fact that the
paramount allegiance of every citizen is
due to the General Government, and not
to any particular State, is to be establish
ed by force OF arms.

grounds than a Constitutional right. Tho
recognition Of the right Of secession, then,
amounts to nothing, practically, and it is
the same whether the right is acknowledge
ed in the fundamental law of govern
ment or not whenever that fundament-
al law is perverted, and its spirit destroy
ed, to the injury and oppression of any
part of its people, they will assume the
responsibility of secession or revolution, as
has been demonstrated by the recent ac-
ton of the people of the South. AS long
as the honor, interests, happiness and
prosperity Of a free people are consulted,
and their constitutional rights secured in
tho administration Of the government, so
long will that government exist, harmo-
niously, and the minority choerfully sub.
init to the majority. But right or no
right of secession, no government can be
long maintained which utterly and IA
gravity dsregards these important and
indispensable requisites of permanency
and security.
We have protrhcted our remarks far be-
You'd our original intention. 1t will be
inferred from what we have said that in
our opinion sound policy and every con.
sideration Of interest, in view of the re-
spcctive attitudes of the North and South,
dictates that the people of Tennessee
should unite as one man and give their
unanimous endorsement to the action OF
the Legislature, us far as made public
There may be many points upon which
some of us could make out strong bills OF
exceptions. BIT we'should consider the
position OF the State-considcr the moral
effect OF a united support of that position
and, forgetting the past for the sake Of
the future, out Of whose present darkness
we hope TO speedily see CLEANS of light.
which shall gradually become more palpa-

as- We certainly appreciate all O

b@- We certainly appreciate all our
friend, j. 7. L., of Blount, writes. We
have given the subject all the investiga-
ton and reflection our mind is capable
OF, and we can see but one course for
Tennessee to take. We give our friend
fufi credit for his honesty, loyalty and
devotion, and claim the same measure of
justice for ourself. But we think he is in
error as to the actual state Of affairs, and
the policy and ultimate aims of the
North. Stewards letter of instructions to
Mr.. Dayton has removed the last doubt
from our mind. We cannot avoid the
conflict except by unconditional submis-
sion to sucll terms as that enemy Of his
yace and generation may dictate. If the
Union mea did not intend to resist they
should not have pledged their State to
that course in the beginning.
Our friend will pardon us for thus re-
spending to his letter, written in conf
denoe and kindness. Though We may be
separated fos time, yet when the dark
storm. the lightning and the cloud, shall
have passed, as it will, under God, sooner
OF later, we will be together again, and If
u should turn out that We are wrong in
our present position and he is right, We
Nm frankly acknowledge the corn and
pay fos the whiskey.

Missouri to be subiugated.

The st. Louis Journal Of the 10th inst,
says
Our Protectors are Conaing.-Every availa-
BILE car on the Ohio and Mississippi rail-
road, from Cincinnati and other points
east, has been chartered to bring FEEDER
al troops to st. Louis, who are expected
TO arrive tonight in thousands, for the
protection of Union men and to repress
secession in Missouri.
Before the above paragraph was print
ed the Federal forces in st. Louis were
on their march for Camp Jackson, where
portion of Gen. Frost's brigade OF the
State militia had encamped under the
State law for drill, as has been the Gus
tom Of late years. Arrived there, in su-
perior numbers, they forced the State
troops to surrender, and deprived them
of their arms. These are indications of
the determination of the Lincoln Gov
eminent to make Missouri kiss the rod
IS Maryland has done.

MARYLAND.

This State dallied as to her position,
and she is to-day in the hands of Mill
tary despotism, her sovereignty absorbed,
and she will be crushed with uncondi-
tional submission, or ground to dust and
powder. Missouri and Kentucky will
meet with the same fate if they rely upon
the deceptive promises Of the admins
tration, and attempt to occupy the UNI
tenable ground Of neutrality.

tB- The Boston Post is not quite rs
insane as most of the Yankee papers,
1t publishes letter from Ex-President
Pierce which concludes as follows:
1.-THE very idea of Acknowledgement of
the Union has always been to me one of
terrible significance. Still if it holds n
place in the'inevitable march of time
il the noble fabric must totter to its fall
there is, humbly hope, no memorable
necessity that its ruins be stained with
gore. 1t our fathers were mistaken, and
time has developed in our system, or if
the madness of their sons has planted
there the germ of an "irrepressible con-
flict" which forbids us longer to live to-
gether in peace. then in peace and OH just
terms let us separate. Fearful will be
the responsibility of those who would cast
the last element of human woe-that of
arms for iratricidal slaughtcr-into the
general chaos, The wisdom Of man fails
Col in mercy guide u.s."
Commenting upon the letter. the Post
sensibly says:
1--WE hope that the first blow-the news
of which has Just reached us-may be
the last; and, in the language of Gen.
Pierce, that, if we cannot live together
in peace, then in peace and on just terms
let us separate To this we must come at
last. Arms can never produce fraternity;
arms can never restore the Union. Ifit
is ever 10 be restored, it must be by tire
announcement Of n pacific policy, and by
giving people North and South time to
deliberate, to see their errors and to cor
rect them. At the end of ten years
war manufactures destroyed, commerce
crippled, millions of lives sacrificed and
thousands of homes rendered dcsolate--
recourse must be had to cancellation and
negotiation to restore peace to the coun-
try. To negotiation we must Gomez and
how much better that they should obvi-
ate, rather than follow, civil strife, bank
ruptcy and carnage.

THE NoRTHwEsT.-The Park ersburg
(Va.) Nc,os of Thursday last, says:
Gen. jackson made speech in this
place yesterday. His position was con-
sentative in the highest degree, throwing
the onus of war on Mr.. Lincoln, counsell-
ing union and peace among ourselves,
and asserting the general principle that
the coercion of the South was impossible
and the war unholy; that if the people
were determined not to remain under our
former government, it was folly to talk Of
compelling them to do so; and if we could
rot live in peace we must separate. lie
also detailed the condition of affairs at
Richmond, and gave history of the
doings in Convention. Gen. jackson was
q very strong Union man.

gSy- The struggle which has been fore
ed upon the people of Tennessee involv-
es the entire issue between freedom and
slavery. 1t is the second war for inde-
pendence. If there is any difference,
the exactions of King George III, and
his Parliament, were more tolerable than
those of Mr.. Lincoln and his supporters.

Notwithstanding the boast and buster

Notwithstanding the boast and buster
ing of the Administration journals and the
confident tone they assume about the res
toration of the Union, it is evident to the
most careless observer that they have no
expectation that the Federal authority
will ever again be exercised over the
Southern States. 1t is well known that
their troops are quartercd in the Capitol
at Washington, and they are permitted TO
deGace and disfigurc that beautiful build
ing in the most shameful manner. Mr..
Lincoln evidently never expects another
Congress of The United States to meet
there. In addition TO this they have all
the public buildings erected at immense
cost ready mined TO be blown up and dcs-
troyed when the time comes. They have
employed a regiment of English bullics
of whom they do not require the oath
of loyalty to the constitution and they
are appealing on all sides for foreign help
to save the Union. They have no expect
alton of saving the Union and their infa-
nous attempt to stir up rebellions in our
midst il made only with view to bolster
u, their party in the free States of the
North.

The New York press is showing symp-

thy for the South manifested in Great
Britain. Even the New, York Express
grows waspish and splenetic at an article
in the Manchester Guardian, the repre-
sentative Of the great manufacturing in
terest Of England. The Guardian says
that its Government should at once re-
cognise the existence Of the Southern
Confederacy,
