PROSPECTUS
or THE ~
NASHVILLE UNION.

The NASHVILLE UsIos was commenced last spring,
for the purpose Of opposing the Robol Southern Con.
deracy aud Of advocating THO restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement All the States
which have attempted to secedo. Its object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union, as they
we're once oxpounded by the fathers Of tho Republic
bat which for more than one year-the long and
dreary carnival OF treason--had bcen unspokon and
uuwritten IN the Capital Of tho State Of ASDEEW
JACKSON and were treasured up only In to hearts Of
the fthful. We believed that the right way TO
duct loyal journal, in city like Nashville, at such
a time as this was 10 raise the wavcrng and tlmid
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not TO
lower the standard Ol patriotism after the Of
Fomo other Journals 70 suit tho deprayed tastes Of tho
seuihloysi and sympothiasrs with the Richmond dy-
nasty.
The UNION, therefore, has hold as friends all who
support aud foes ali who oppose the Union Of the
states. It's watohword IA FREHDoN AND NAuoNAL LuI.
with rebels and traitors It has no compromise 70
Make It contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof IA the sUPREME
Ian or THE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws of any Of the states to the contrary notwtth
standing.
II contend. for The Union Of the States, because
without Il the preservation of our liberties aud iust
tutlons and the Organization Of society itself
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands in
the way Of crushing out she rebellion and restoring
he Union must perish, matter by what name Il
be called.
When thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country, saori
fec above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignobe motive Of
selfnterest should make any man wavcr n his 10y
atty. If there be any such, let them look at the
blood Of SHILOH Fort Donelsou, Murfreesboro aud
fredericksburg, and blush at their wickedness and
folly Love for our country should now ovorshadow
every other feeling aud he is patriot who loves
his houses lands or negroes with 1.-THE Of the devo
ton which he ioels for his country. Even prudent
solGshness should compel 70 be patriots, for who
AN hope TO save his own treasures from the wreck ef
ruined aud dismomhored Union'
We want to sec tho land once more blessed with the
enduring sunshine of honorable peace, based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels now IN arms, and not Ii up with tho deoefu
glow OF peaco based upon emasculate loyalty, and
con -osslons 10 lIstors--the glow Of meteor which
would shine only 70 betray aud going out would
leave US IN darkness tcnfoId more gloomy than that
which prevailed bsiore.
These are tho sentiments and views which the
UNoE will continue to advocate through whatever
Of storm or sunshine may await II in the future, and
