The LouisyilleDemcorat portinently says
that if the Secesh prefer 10 indulge their
own conCeit aud hate TO securing their
interest in slave property, or in the insu-
tuition Of slavery, they should take the
consequences and not complain. 1t is
their fault, aud no one else's, that slavery
is in danger, They were forcwaned, but
they would not heed wise counsels. They
know how to avert the danger, and will
not take the path they knew
We are really not so certain that the
Secesh do know how TO keep out Of the

fortunate class who are given over 10

A Union mass meeting was held at
Pulaski, Tennessee, on the 21st Of June,
1862. A very large number Of the citi-
zens and voters Of Giles county were
present DIR. G. N. ORDwAr presided,
with DR.. Ben. CARTER, A. NJ BALLEx-
TINE, VIM j. HENDERSON, HENRY HOUSE
and LEWIS REED as Vice Presidents, and
JoHN c. WALKER and ROBERT j. GoRDoN
as Secretaries.
The meeting was opened with ma APP
propriate prayer by Rev. Carson P. REED.
Hon. EDMUND COOPER then took the
stand, and spoke for about an hour and
a half in favor Of the immediate return
of Tennessee to her Federal relations
and loyalty, in train Of convincing ar
argument aud eloquence, which held his
audience most willing captiyes through
out and did great credit to his acknowl-
edged and distinguished abilities as pub
lie speaker AS one Of the able champions
Of the Union, he is winning new laurels,
and doing great service, wherever he
goes, for the noble cause. He was fol-
lowed by the Hon. NEIL s. BRowN, in a
speech which was undoubtedly one of
the very finest efforts Of his lie. lie
was completely absorbed with the sub
ject and the occasion; his genius seemed
to radiate from the whole man; and his
oratory, during the progress Of the dis
course, became so powerful and fascin-
ating, that it literally lifted his almost
entire audience 10 their feet; and until
the conclusion, they crowded closer and
closer around the stand in order that
they might drink in more fully every
word which proceeded from the voice OF
this irresistible speaker and charmer.
The following preamble and resolu-
tons, as expressive Of the sense of the
meeting, were then offered and unani-
mously adopted;

lines, and pass in style file to the huge

supper, and then-into the solitary,
gloomy cell. And here is a study for a

strangely varied panorama of faces ex-
pressing every grade Of villainy. Here
is the stolid face, the dark and sullen
brow, the restless and dangerous eye, the
cowed and stealthy glance, the hardened
and indifferent gaze, and at a times a
face Of pale unutterable sadness, the in

Quite a nIistnke-

The Lockport On. W Union comment
ing on the bill excluding slavery from
the territories says;
The only real effect of the above ill
timed act can have upon the subject of
the territories of the Union, is TO alarm,
discourage and dishearten the uncondi-
tional Union men of the South,
We assure the Lockport Union that it
is entirely ignorant of The degree Of 10y
atty cherished by the Union men of the
South. Whatever their views may be
on the abstract question as to the right
Of Congress to pass the bill alluded TO,
we do not know of one who regards it
as one of the slightest practical import
ance or who feels in the least alarmed,
discouraged or disheartened about the
passage of the bill. Every one but a
fire eater knows that slavery was exclu-
ded by the laws of nature, and by the
force of popular sovereignty long before
this late act of Congress. And we are
free to say that the Union man who is
shaken in his patriotism by an idle alb
straction, or who would falter in his 10y
atty even if it were a practical question,
is at heart rebel and traitor and
should go over to the enemy. The Union
men Of the South realizing to their full
extent, the awful oalamities attend
ing the attempted severance Of the Union,
and feeling the necessity Of casting
aside all partizan names, catchwords
and distractions, as dangerous incum-
brances, and Of placing themselves firm
ly upon the rock Of the Union only,
whatever Northern trilers and mischief
makers may do, are fully determined
not to revive thrcadbare and absolute
discussions. Let the dead past bury
its dead We have enough to do in at
tending TO the mOmcntous present.

Mr. Etheridge says he is not personally
acquainted with stakeholder who is a

are military or civil officers, or they are

RESOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS, We, the Citizens Of Giles
County, State of Tennessee, in mass
meeting assembled, feeling that the des-
tiny of our State is irrevocably fixed
with the Federal Union, and looking TO
the best interest of our citizens and their
future good alone, RESOLVE,
LIST, That the time has come with us
when every man who feels his obligation
to his State, and responsibility Tor the
happiness and prosperity of her future,
should lay aside his sympathies, sur
mount his prejudices, and lend himself,
with all his influence and means, to the
work of restoring her to her fullest Fed
eral relations at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
I'd, That we here pledge ourselves to
use our influence for speedy restoration
of our State to her Federal relations, in
order that her voice may once again be
heard in the councils of the nation, and
that practical way may be opened for
the return of her sons and neighbors
from captivity and exile, resulting from
the fortunes Of war, an iohiCh hey engaged
at the call Of our State authorities.
Sd, That continuance of the conflict
but involves our State and her children
in greater evil-that every day this I'M
natural war is waged but weakens our
tenure upon our slave property, and les
sens our hopes for future prosperity -
we, therefore, feel impelled to call upon
our fellow citizens throughout the State
to actively aid US in the proper reorgan-
ization of our State Government imme-
diately; that our exiled sons and neigh
bors now in arms against the Federal
Government may be recalled to their
homes and ancient loyalty without de-
lay; and that we may once more be
placed under the sway Of civil authority,
instead of bearing the necessary incon-
venience Of military rule.
The county of Giles is all right; and
il is believed that such has been the re-
cent revolution in public sentiment that
o.thirds-if not three fourths-of the
county Will vote for the Union, whenever
an election is called for by Gov. JOHNSON.
Many regretted his not being present TO
address Ga c meeting.

THE REBEL BLUNDrR.

The Beacon proposes to divide the
North by detaching from it the great
Northwest; and it denounces the policy
Of the rebel leaders in closing the Mis-
sissippi against their shipping. To this
false step it attributes the loss of Ken
lucky and other States in hevalley;
We witnessed the effect of this policy
upon the people Of Kentucky, whore leg
islature was then in session. We see its
effects to-day when half the people of
Kentucky are waging against us a re-
lentless war. We see large Shareholders,
Kentuckians and Missourians, under Hal
leck at Pittsburg, denouncing the anti
slavery policy of the Lincoln despoism,
who still fight the South, not because
they love the North, nor because they are
abolitionists, but because, like John G.
Calhoun, they deem the Mississippi "a
great inland sea-

discourses at great length upon The prom.

Northwest who, indeed, it seems, were

President or Legislature, except by the
concurrent vote Of a majority Of each
section.

The Western men whom we have TAX

the ani-slayery policy of the Lincoln
administration, but at the same time de-
clare that they can attend to but one
matter at a time. At present they fight
for an open route to the Cult, when this
matter is arranged they will settle this
question Of Abolitionism, dethroning the
dcspotism at Washington Such, too,
were the declarations of officers and
men TO an officer Of our army, most
intelligent and accomplished gentleman,
who recently visited Nashville under a
flag Of truce, and for more than month
lay sick within the Federal lines.
Many a Southern soldier at Fort Dom
elson, in the midst Of hand to- hand
| conflict, heard his fOeman eNclaim, "You
are not now fighting Id Yankees at
Manassas! In very truth, the interests
and feelings of the Western people would
induce them to cooperate with the
South in any conflict which involved
simply and solely the question Of slave
ry, But while they seek to keep open
the Mississippi river to the Gulf il is
their policy to cooperate with New
Englanders, whose objects in this war
are of two-iold character first TO
perpetuate the tariff system and naviga-
ton acts, through which they have been
enriched and the South impoverished (;
and a secondary purpose, to substitute q
system Of peonage for that of Southern
negro slavery. The great object Of the
whole North has become, with the pro.
gress Of the war, to force The South TO
pay all the debts created by its inception
and prosecution. Should we ever sub

of the originally seeding States will be

THE REBEL CONGRESS.

We once had Congress History so
teaches) that years ago sat in Washing
ton, when Clay, Randolph, Calhoun and
Webster lived; but they died, and with
them did genius, craftsmanship and pa
triotism become extinct. Vanity and
weakness supplanted self confidence and
native ability; and ambition was CROWN
ed when patriotism was entombod, II
has been rumOred that a coterie of poll
ticians convened not long ago in Rich
mond. What they did except the wise
bidding Of our President, and enact a
Conscriptiou bill, we have never learned;
but this much we do know, that they
failed TO discover a mode of depriving
our enemies of half their strength by de-
claring for absolute free trade, and by
quoting in the law the language of Cal
houn, that the mississippi is an inland
sea"
There can be no sacrifice of principle
on the part Of the people in declaring that
their leaders we're incapable of discharg-
ing their duties as Legislators. These
men would have us fight the Northwest
forever rather than acknowledge that
they, the great leaders in this revolution,
had ever committed the slightest error in
war or legislation. The President con-
fessed his fault, like a true hero, in his
late inaugural; but our Congress did
nothing save grant themselves n magnif-
cent salary and mileage, and enjoy their
pay in Richmond till the proximity Of
McClellan's army made the place uncom-
