The People Must NOT RuI..

me FoOpie must not Rule.
This atrocious doctrine was held by
the leading rebels Of Nashville. Oh the
10th Of December, 1860, the infamous
rebel organ, the Nashville Union and
American, said:
1--WE want to go into q Confedera CIV.
where there is not, and never can be an
other abolition q. e. free State.
We want 10 90 into a Confederacy
where NO STATE SHALL EVER BE PERMIT
TED TO ABOLISH SLAVERY"
There are over 100000 white people
in this State and about $4,000 slave
holders. According 70 the Nashville
Union and American, which was the
favorite organ Of Tennessee secession
lists, if 100000 people of the State were
to vote for emancipation for = hundred
years at every election, the 80, 900 slave
ocrats must rule the 765,OOO They must
bow to slavery forever And even if the
shareholders themselves should desire Ia
free their slaves, still they must not be
suffered TO do IL. Tennessee must con-
tinue 10 be = slave State for the benefit Of
the cotton States, to shield their borders
and breed slaves for their plantations.
