the majority In the federal Legislature and that its
champions viii be the Executives after tie 4th of
March, We did not think IL necessary to inform
the public that the Inauguration would take place
on 4th March. But we ask by what means has that
party become largely in the majority in the Federal
Legislature Answer, by the shameful retreat Of
many Southern members hemseIecsl Every school
boy knows that but for lbs Tie Black Republicans
were in a decided minority and were powerless for
evil. We did state, however, that as there were
thousands of men deluded and driven into that par
ty by political demagogues and fanatical preachers
without knowing what they were doing. Others
alarmed and Disguised by the robbery and corrup-
ton at the seat Of government rushed into any par
ty that could rout the evils complained Of We also
said that party composed Of so many 6iscordant
materials is warning against itselfand will inevita-
bly, be dissolved Besides there are fifteen hundred
thousand men in the North who voted against Lin
coin, and from the returning reason of others lin
coin dare not commit an overt act against the Con-
stitution That the Northern States have trespassed
on our rights, one can deny. Let us demand
and defend all our rights in the Union, under the
Constitution and the stars and stripes. In concu-
sion, Tennesseean says Some how feel that Ten
nesse protects me and mine. This confines nv pat
riotism. | cannot see so far from home as some so
win sign this 1enuesseean."
We, too claim that honorable appeation, and
feel that Tennessee protects her citizens at home
But like our noble State zoe do not confine our pat
riotism at home but foller her delegated power into
the American Union, where il expands before our
astonshed vision Guided by her Star in the gal
axy Of States, under that flag we feel at home al
the North at the South, at the East and at the West
and should we rove foreign seas or traverse for
egn lands, we could there claim and receive pro
lection under the Stars and Stripes of the Union
but only by being recognized by the proudest appel
lation on Earth, that of
AMERICAN CITIZEN.

B1. what are we TO do now 2" is the question
constantly being propounded to US. Weare to have
no Convention, say some and Tennessee is bound to
submit to whatever indignities may be offered by
Lincoln. We do not think this conclusion by any
means legitimate and it certainly is no compliment
to this State to charge that she is prepared to sub
NIT, because the people did not think the time for
resistance has arrived. We regret the decision Of
the people, but have no misgivngs as to what their
course will be should the maintenance of their
rights and honor demand their action--the vindica-
ton Of these is not restricted to the 4th of March,
Should the Peace Congress pave the way for set
Element it will be well that the Convention failed
should the efforts of that body fail the defeat of the
Convention does not bar any future action which
the people may wish to take, and Tennessee will not
be behind the other border States when the time
comes for final decision. Let us hope, then, that
no harm is done, and hold ourselves in readiness fol
for The developments of the future.

Hsy- The efforts made here, by the immediate Sc
cessionsts to prejudice the opposing party by call
ing them submissonists, are well calculated to mis-
lead the public mind in other States The Union
party-ns it is ealled-is made up Of those who be-
lieve that our sectional troubles can be honoraby
adjusted by giving the people Of the North an op-
to be heard, whilst those who constitute
the other party believe there is no hope of such
adjustment-both parties agreeing on the essential
point that the question must be definitely settled or
that separation must follow the failure Tennessee
is no less earnest in its determination to have f.
nal settlement--in or out of the Union-than any
other Southern State; but hoping, STILL that such an
adjustment can be had in the Union, she is unwl-
ing to be forced into position which precludes all
hope of such settlement except upon the very idle
supposition OF reconstruction. The difference,
then, between the two parties--as a friend at our
elbow SUGGESTS, that the one has hope of set
tlement-the other none at all; the former infu-
enced by that hope, is opposed to precipitaton-the
latter without that hope is for immediate secession

which Virginia will be satisfied.
The Commissioners from Tennessee are all here
except Cuum and Hawkins. Most of them strong
ly hope for satisfactory adjustment; so do all the
conservative congressman. One half of the men,
bers ofhe Virginia Legislature is here. The result
in Virginia makes settlement of the slavery ques-
ton almost certain.
The New York Herald denounces the Conference
because it ia not subservent TO its circulation and
