PROSPECTUS
NASHVILLE UNION.

THE NASHVILLE UNION was commenced few weeks
since, for the purpose of opposing the Rebel Southern
Conlederacy, and Of advocating the restoration Of
Federal authority, without any abatement, over all
the States which have attempted to secede. It holds
friends all who support, and foes all who oppose
the Union of the States. II has no watchword but
FREEDOM AND NATIONALITY.
W tn rebels and traitv has no compromise to
make. II contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof as the SUPREME
LAW or TrE LAND anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any of the States to the contrary notwith-
standing.
1t contends for the Union Of the States, because
without 1t the preservation of our liberties and instr
tutions and the organization of society itself are
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands in
the way of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name it be
called.
To the people Of Tennessee, ever renowned for their
devotion to Liberty and Union, until they were be-
trayed to the rebel despotism at Richmond by per
dious GovernoF and corrupt Legislature, and who
have felt 30 heavily the awful curse Of treason and
anarchy, we appeal for support. let the names Of
rebel Office holders Vigilance Committees, and Minute
Men, who have filed our borders with mourning, be
gibbeted before the world. Let those ambitious aud
ayaricous men who have plotted our ruin for their
own aggrandizement be fastened to the pillory Of
shame, matter how high their position in society
Let it be shown how the sefstyled defenders of
"Southern Rights" are now leading marauding bands
of ree-booters aud troopers over State kid
mapping negroes, stealing horses and cattle, breaking
into houses, burning railroad bridges and cars, and
numbering unarmed citizens in cold blood Let the
TRUTH 80 long excluded by the Southern consprators
now circulate freely through every neighborhood
and our cause viii assuredly triumph WIN not loyal
men everywhere aid us in the dissemination Of facts
and the advocacy Of Free Government
