Mr.. Lockhart offered the following:
WHEREAS. It is believed that there are
| persons ia the State of Tennessee who are so
| lost to patriotism as TO engage in speculation
| in articles necessary to the maintenance and
comfort of the army of the South-in many
| instances assuming the character OF agents
tosthe military autho:ities-they have, it is
| believed, purchased many articles from the
honest and patriotic masses. at extremely
low prices, which they have, and will turn
| over to the army at immense profit. Thus
| robbing the patriotic masses of their sub
stance, the soldier of articles necessary to
snoothe his, rugged pathway, placing the
prices of necessaries of life out of the reach of
his family. and increasing the cost of evry.
thing purchased Icy the War Department.
Therefore
Resoired by the General Assembly Of tie
STATE, of Tennessee. That we, the Representa-
tives OF the people, do solemnly declare ihe
action of such persons as wholly unworthy
the name OF Tennesseans--unpatr self
ish and contemplate; and We do most earn
estly advise and recommend the producing
classes OF Tennessee to give no encourage
ment TO such specuiators-sell them notnlnS
avoid them you would leper or JUDAS
