We have bad occasion Of iate to refer to the
Nashville Times and occasionally ID make ex-
uals from It's columns The Times has been
started since che advent of The enemy into this
State, and is conducted by some one ia the conf.
dence and Interest Of the Fed-rst authorities.
The 'i.or 5 y cautious, and is careful not 10
shock ta5 sanl l.-.tcs of the people ot Teunes
SEE by 81 sps1 -voraj Of his real sentiments
and q jec,s dis approaches are underground,
and z5o o1'.5uated WIKI the same prudence and
delibesatiau bat ga engineer would exercise in
his-adysoce upol stroaz t7rEfca,ion It's OBJ
ject, however, is none the less apparent. The
complaints it nov and then indulges in towards
the Federal government, for its Interference
wlsh the institution Of slavery, can deceive no
intelligent reader. No one supposes that Gen
BUELL. would tolerate a truly sousbern paper
right uDder his nose-especisly one that under
took 70 critiess IN hostile spi-it the conduct of
his own government
The course pursued by the Times is Just the
course that win be pursued by such other pa
pers N Tennessee as may be getting ready to
fall into tie Federal emb1aess.
We have alresay stated on the suthority of
= the Tunes, that Mr ASDREw Johnson, not
GOUeROr JOHNSON, Lad arrived at Nashville.
According to the hostile Times, be said he had
come '' for the purpose of restoring the cousttu-
tion and the laws as they formerly existed, /" and
that the time had come for treason to be
crushed and for traitors 10 be punished He
appealed TO Union men q. 20 come forth and fight
for the Federal government" Il was not short
spe ci bas was about an hour long
The object ofthis ap2aal caunot be misunder-
stood It means fire and sword to the friends Of
Ebe-y, aad bribe TO tue oowariIy slaves who
wouId ks tie rod that snites theIn. He comes
70 crush q ueasoa aud punish e traitors But
who are tie :raitoFsl Al who by word, deed or
meaas have in suy wise given aid and comfort
to the cause Of southern independence.
The Tunes Of the l4th inss--a copy Of which /
is now before us-adui,s tbat much com 4
Plsint" exists IN regard TO the number Of ne /
groes that have disappeared FROM their masters

era officers Of al blame iu the matter
Bat the Federal Congress have passed bin, 7
70 prohibit The oticsrs aud soldiers in the army
and navy from returning fugitive slaves to their
owners. We have seen is stated that Mr. LIN /
coin has signed me bill, and that it is now a
Jaw. Under tbe operations Of this act. the Times
thinks that tae shareholders Of the South, SIS
far as the Federal army can penetrate, may be .
desPoiied Of The gres:er portion, if not al, Of
their slsvss. u q of .as opinion that slaves .

ofieels and soldiers dare not give them up"
TLs etfect Nhich TIE TIHsss predict tor the .
set, is erijei,'y ttas designed Icy tie Federal
governments and lis aides and a5ettors, civil aud +
military. The army aud navy are to be con /
verted INFO q great abolition engine. The
slsveIol3els Of il,s Sousb as far as the Federal
army laud u@yE) can penetrate. are 20 be des-
po-ed The --sa.er portion, i not all Of their
> slaves. 'Ti.ir oniy y.nesns OF escape is to re-
move tleir slaves beyond the reach OF tire army
and navy, o- 20 buckle ois .lsir arrnor and drive
them back ftcn our soil and waters.
The Wa=l5 gtoa GoveTnment has not pro
claimed TIE unconditional abolition Of slavery in '
the Conf5~4at States. Fer d.e present it has .
been eoate-t n Prohiot aey Of is oldceEs from
retJ ming fl-,lisl slaves found within tLei. lines
Ills is equse.ee. 90 o proclamation Of emanci- (
Padou es far rs il goes, and is Designed to be the
iniriatoTy step te universal emancipation. Now /
th-. t-e i-e tss besr broken, NE may look to see
ths- Government tsks tie last sn1 final step in
few months.
Let the people, therefore, not be deceived An
/ effort wiz be made By enemies in disguise to
Z}rhTow dseord iato cur councils, to separate the
people from ;heiI leaders, to bring dscredit upon
our finances, TO discourage Us in cur efforts to
establish our independence. and to reconcile Us
to the yoke which is preparing for our ueclzs.
TIE pill viii Be- coated with fair promises aud
ambiguous phrases; but the fatal poison--the
subtle sUgge5tiou-WiH be commended to our
lips.
JUDAS, with the thirty pieces Of silver in his
hand, was as bland and loyal as any of the
twelve who sat st the last supper Let this not
be forgotten when the false prophets and false
teachers begin to -cbsGT for our liberties.
