Mr.. pouglasne uttered a greater truth than when
he said SOAR IS dsuni6l" Our own Tennessee yeri:
fed this declaration by unmistakabe vote, when she,

sixty thousand out ofa.TOtng population of one hun,

served" lHen, all cds peace War, was commenced,
and what was the consequence? In themonth ofJune,
not one hundred days after the February She
declared by larger majority, that she would remainin
the Union no longer The ablest men in Tennessee
warned President Lincoln and the Northern people Of the
effect which war would produce the Union men Of the
South The writer OF this letter, himself Union man.

Yes sir-and they could and Ooiid haYei it. They

money the men, and the means TO have done il, and
they would have done it and verify believe that not
two popular elections would have come of beforeseces
sion in the South would have been lled,s dead and
hurried so deep that the hand of the Political Resurrec
ZIONIST could never have reached it. But President
Lincoln aud his insane advisers fooshy and wickedy
made wsr upon the South His army In Tennessee has
robbed us OF our property desoated our fields; brned
our houses; driven oil our stock carried off our pc.
groes by hundreds and thousands; nsulted our women
and now threaten US with starvation, which already
sires many in the face And still the cry Is That the

UJnion!" Gracious Heaven! Who believes that Union
can ever be stored the sword? Nobody! None but
a mailman, or hypoere will say he believes Il. You
Are right, Sir The sword winever do it. The sword
has already made thousands disuniopists who were
friends and staunch supporters of the Union: Three
ourths ofthe army inennessee were Union men; good
and tre Let Mr. Lincoln drive on his.unholy crusade
against the South and he will make disunonists Of
every body Already has he driven the sword To- The
very Yitas oEthe Union. 1t is dead dead dead There

The Union meR of the South see thisthey Know this.
The day is past aud gone. Mr.. Lineols acts crowned
by his emancipation proclamation to 60 Into effect on

1t made my heart glad to see that you were in favor
of stopping the war. Would to God;t were stopped

The EortlerS people can stopjt ne cannot iii Gods

and tens of thousands OF the noblest som of the South
has been already poured ;out like water and its voice

Demon Of Northern fahstcisn! What is done must be
