that one fourth Of those retained in custo-

of and unrecorded in the history of ma
tions.
Resolyed. That we unhesitatingly
condemn the idea of issuing irredeemable
paper as legal tender. as violative of the
spirit of the Constitution. destructive to
private rights. an unwarranted interference
with existing contracts, and in the highest
degree demoralizing TO tie financial credit
of the United States.
Resotred. That the suspension Of the
writ of hoJeas corpus, and the arrest of
freemen without due process of law in
States where there is no pretense Of mil.
itary necessity therefor. is inconsistent
with the principles Of Free Government,
and is utterly condemned by the Demo
cratic party Of this State.

TEfs, UNION SENTIMENT AT
'EKEE, SOgEEH

The administration party have been
constantly asserting that there is strong
Union feeling all over the South. and that
as our army advanced, and afforded it
protection, it would arise in the majesty Of
its strength and hurl the rebel traitors from
the places they had usurped by force of
arms That there is latent Union senti-
ment in some parts of the seeded States,
there Is no doubt. unless the Republican
party. BY it's intensely disuniop course, has
driven the few Union men there into the
Southern cause; but tina, such a sentiment
exists now TO any considerable extent we
have the most positive evidence 20 the con-
trary. Wherever our army has penetrated
into rebeldom. with the bare exception of
one or tive little towns in Alabama, they
have found the btterest and most in
tense hatred OF everything Northern ex-
listing in the minds of the people. and
with unanimity truly astonishing.
1t will be recollected that when our
forces made reconnaissance. after the
taking Of Port Royal, 10 Beaufort, they
found but one man, either rebel or Union.
and he WIS drunk Recent advances of
our troops elsewhere have found the same
state of facts 10 exist, and especially in
Tennessee, where, it was confidently as
serted, there was an overwhelming Union
sentiment. and that the people would well
Come our troops with shouts of JOY and
glaiHess. So far as our army has pere-
tra.ed into that State, it has met with no
Union feeling. in Clarksville, city of
considerable importance, the secession
sentiment, in sight of Northern bayonets,
is said 10 be almost unanimous. We see
it stated by correspondents writing from
Nashville, that up to last Saturday there
had not beeu a single Union man found in
that city
The truth Of the matter is. that the ra-
wings Of the Aboliionists Of The North.
aud especially in Congress. have had their
desired etIect-to ALLEVIATE the entire South
from the Union, that necessity may exist
for wiping out the Southern States. and
degrading them to the condition of Teri
tories. that Congress may abolish slavery
That Is the programme. and uRless the
conservative. Union element, is aroused
TO prevent il, it will be carried out.
The only method by which the Union
sentiment at the South may be encouraged
and strengthened, is by the displacement
OF the Abolition traitors at the North. and
in their stead to place real Union men
men who have always been for the Union
and who have at heart the best interests o
the whole country.
