the bottom of the river, whereby to bring

Resolved, That the friends of the ''peculiar

government of the United States; therefore
Resolved, By the members of the "Nashyie
Union Club, " that this organization is one of
loyalty and fidelity to the Federal Union, OPP
posed to this internal rebellion, forced upon
the country without the shadow of pretext, by
set of the worst men Of the South that ever God
permitted to breathe the vital air of earth, and
that we are opposed to every man, north and
south, who at all excuses these rebel leaders in
their mad war upon the government. or sympa.
thzes with their wicked objecte.
Resolved, That the members of this organ
ization stand upon the platform Of principles
Inundated by US in this city on the 2lst day
Of April, 1868, and in a speech made by this
same man Etheridge, in March last was year
ago, which speech was reported by the editor Of
one of the then Nashville papers, said report
