now IT BEGAN.
Previous TO the month Of December, 1860,
Che nation had enjoyed degree OF pros
perity unparalleled in The history of the
world Our people knew no oppression.
Our government was felt only ia its bless.
ings SO intent were many upon the pur-
suits Of industry, education, science, reig-
ion, and The peaceful arts, that they gave
but little attention to The afairs OF state, and
were unprepared to apprehend and appreci-
ate the wiley schemes of those ambitious
men who sought TO build their own great
ness upon their eountry's ruin. 10 the month
Of December, 1860, convention assembled
10 the State Of South Carolina, which as
sumed to represent the people Of that State,
and to decree the secession Of the State from
the Federal Union. This act Of secession on
the part Of the Convention which had usurp
ed authority in the State Of South Carolina,
was preceded and followed by acts of war
against the Government and people Of the
United States, in The seizure by armed force
Of all the public property within that State.
Previous to this time active warlke prepa-
ratons had been carried on in several Of the
more Southern or Cotton States, for months
and even years, under the supervision Of an
organized conspiracy against the Govern
ment, to work its overthrow, or a division Of
the Union. Immense quantities of arms
had been placed by official treachery in the
arsenals of the United States within conve-
nient reach Of the conspirators. Volunte er
companies and regiments had been raised, to
be ready to take the field at the appointed
time. In the meantime every device was re-
sorted to which interruptions ingenuity
could invent, to fire the hearts Of the South
ern people by false representations, against
the Government aud against the people of
the other section.
The outbreak of the rebellion in South
Carolina was soon followed by acts Of war
against the Government in Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, in
seizures by force of arms Of the forts, arse
nails, minis, and other public property of the
Union within their bounds. These acts of
war wei followed, (and not preceded,) by
acts of Secession, passed by unauthorized
conventions, who usurped the control of the
affairs Of State, without the semblance OF
constitutional authority and relying simply
upon the sword and public terror to repress
discomfort among their own people, aud to
resist the rightful and constitutional authori-
ty of the Government.

WHAT TENNESSEE DID.

These acts of rebellion and war had gone
on unchecked until seven States had fallen
under the control Of the revolutionists; aud
then it was that the people of Tennessee
were called upon to decide what would be
their course. A disloyal Governor and Lee
gislature called upon the people to decide,
1st, whether the question Of secession should
be opened at all in Tennessee by the holding
of a convention to take the question into
consideration; and, IDLY, to what class Of
men, if at all, they would commit the deci-
sion Of question so momentous. The most
perfect freedom Of discussion and action was
permitted in the preparations for that cleo
ton, in every part Of the State where loyal
men were in the ascendency, No secession
ist was debarred from casting his treasona-
bic vote. nor threatened with future eonse-
quences. That was the last free and IN.
trammeled election ever holden in Tonnes
see, aud the people remember the result.
1t was deliberately decided by the people of
Tennessee, by majority of more than eleven
thousand, that they would not even enter
tain the question Of secession. And by a
majority of sixty.four thousand they decided
to send TO a convention, in case one should
be chosen, those men only who pledged
themselves most strongly to sustain the
Union. This occurred in February. The
Governor and Legislature of Tennessee were
thus rebuked by the people, and must have
perceived that they no longer represented
the peoples viii.
FURTHER SCHEMES AND HOSTILE ACTS.
Failing in thisfrst scheme Of treason Gov.
Harris, about two months later, again con-
vened the General Assembly. In the mean
time, the conspirators OF the seven States be.
fore referred to had met together in Mont
gomery, Ala; and though not in any sense
elected for that purpose by the people, they
proceeded to organize a Provisional Govern.
ment for what they called The Confederate
States" This organization had proceeded
with great energy TO raise and equip a large
army to wage war against the Government
A scheme was concocted to march upon and
seize the City OF Washington, and active pre-.
paratons were made for that expedition, to
set out from Richmond, Va, 30 soon as the
convention assembled at that city could be
forced into the adoption Of an ordinance Of
SeoeSaiCa. The rebel Congress, on the 10th
Of March, 1861, authorized the rebel Presi
dent to raise aud put in the field an army Of
one hundred thousand men; and under this
authority his forces were being daily aug-
mented. II was evident, and has since been
boastingly admitted, that the conspirators
intended to take the Government by sur
prise. Fort Sumpter had been besieged for
months, an uuarmed vessel Of the Govern.
