the dawn of liberty and political equality, and the
brightest star that decorates the pages of history
ResolUed, That, whereas, our country is now en-
gagged in civil war; we view it as the duty of this
and all slavehOding States to link their destlnles
with the Confederate States and with them through
veal or woe, defend our homes, our property, our
lives, liberties and our honor.
Resolued, That we heartily approve the course Of
Gov. Harris refusing troops to fight against the
South.
ResoLued. That we request and hereby petition
the LEGISLATURE which eonvenes in called session
day to pass and submt without delay secession
ordinance, to be voted and acted upon by the peo-
pie of Tennessee for their ratification soon as
possible; also that we request the Legislature to
thoroughly arm and equip the State to defend US
against Lincoln and his abolition cohorts to the last
extremity.
A military company over the age of 45, was Or

PArR1orIc.-It is to the great credit of msny en-
ployers that they have determined that the salaries
and wages of those employed by them shall stun g
on, while the volunteers are engaged in the service
of their country.
More than this some of the employers have fur
nished their employees with funds for outfits, and
will see that the families of the patriots have shell
ter food raiment aud fuel until the return Of the
brave soldiers.

The HARDEST CASE YEr-we find the following

The HARDEST CASE YEr.-We find the following
in the Louisville Journal:
"A Yankee writes to Us in evident distress He
says that he half eourted pretty Georgia girl at
Newport last summer, and wants to know whether
it would be quite safe for him go to Georgia to do
the other half of the counting. He protests and is
willing to make oath, that, if he marries the GIRL
he will nOtemanc;pate her niggers. What have our
Georgia friends to say?"
We say, the Yankee" had better stay at home
and let the halt-courted pretty Georgia grP alone
Well see to it that the other half is quite as eiectu
ally done by Georgian, though it may not answer
the lankee's purposes so we'll We have not the
slightest uneasiness on the subject matter OF ms
promised protest. When yankee" sets free
negro, you may rely upon it he has no interest In

Freedom of speech in Cincinnati-The
Enquirer.

CINCINNATI, April "a, 1861.
E9itors Louisville Courier: l perceive that the
EnouieTs of this date repudates the idea that they
changed front in consequence Of threats that their
buildings would fall
Now. every man woman, and child knows per-
ectEy well that they luere threatened to be mobbed
for the free expression of their opinions that it 7os
publicly tolked of throughout the city, and created
much apprehension on the part of the friends of
that paper: and when say aublicly talked about,
do not Ilean by the rabble, but by those whom the
press of the city are in the habit of termIDg the
"first merchants"
The Enquirer did apprehend trouble and did back
do1cn thus evncing that the freedom of the press
in this place is an obsolete idea. One of its princi
pal business men joined the Home Guard, and his
name was at once trumpetedf forth an evil
dence that the Enquirer had joined the ranks of the
faithful and was entitled to full dissolution
The truth is, that there is no freedom of speech
whatever in Cincinnati at this time. Any one who
differs from "Old Abe as to the course he is pur-
suing toward our Southern brethren, at once
marked, insulted and mobbed. The Sonth have
been reproached time and again for authorizing
lynch law and shutting the mouths OF Aboitlonists

preston of opinions that produce no harm Orldetri-
ment to any one.

selfconstituted vigilance committee, who seize

are told that nobody IS hurt" and that this city Is
