The Approaching Abolition Of 41a.
Tery,

lFfom the Washington Chronicle, Nov. 7kh.7
We are IN receipt of Important news, of n
strictly reliable nature, through private chan
uels. from Tennessee. ). sTo digress' we
NIL state that just one year ago the Union
men ct that State, rs . body, opposed the
in the city Of Nashville, at that time, there
we're but two or three loyal men who were in
favor ct "agltating the negro question" " ia
any "oy. II We mistake not, the Pfeaident
WAS mem ortalized by the prominent 1oyal1sts
Of Tennessee to be lentent In that direction,
and to postpone :" emancipation !" and econ.
fiscation." He did 80. Mark no n the change:
There will be presented to the President
to Gay, memorial s|gned by eight hundred
Of the unconditional. lron-neryed Unionists
Of that State, one hundred aud ninety Of
whom are large slaye:oMners, the tenor Of
which ha1monizes with the popular, radical
meaEures and reforms Of the day.
Particularly, this document prags the Pres
ident to guarantee to the noble upho1ders Of
the Government their State rights. The pc
titioneIs boldly apnounee that they will have
oppose the progress Of all State machinery
unul trsason Is thoroughly purged ftom
the State, ard traltors brought to JUS
tlce. Ihote who have stood firm arc deter
mined that they shall in no wise be made the
subjects OF dictatlon from thoee who are
disgutted With and d!sgraeed and ruined by,
course which they heartily embraced, and
stcadastly erdorked and encouraged until It
tumbled to pieces. These loyal gentlemen
earnestly petition tbs President to T. stick By
them" and also pray Congress to enact moth.
ipE Thtch ehal! grant power Or Influence to
the scared rebels Of Tennessee. What these
the proper time arrives, they shall rule; or,
in other words, they a1e determined that the
tens Of thoueandB In that State who haye
comm1tted perjury By subscribing to the cath
Of allegiance, through Tear Of forced emlgra-
tion Or loss Of Life and property, ahsu not ba
ta entit1sd to The privileges which loyal men en-.
OF this pentlent phalanx to enlist the eympa-
thies Of the authorities toward the re-estab.
Hetment Of tie State machinery, which would
be, in reality, turning Tennessee again o7erto
the seceestonihts, and sending men to Con-
g,ess possessed Of no national love or honor.
AZ these tricks sreto be thwa,ted By the pat
dark night.
These gentlemen pied ge to the Administers
tlou an unconditional support, and in glow
ing terms eulogize the enlistment Of Africans
in their midst as national soldiers, and do not
Hesitate to declare that the diaemboyeling Of
slavery In Tennessee will BE- an immediate
achievement
a few evenings ago meeting Of the staunch'
ones took Place at Nashville, details Of which!
have escaped the public prints. Some Of the
moet prominent unionists Of the State par,
ticipated, and the whole affair was jubilee
Of patriotism. The speakers promulgated
the most radical doctrines, and nnqualidedly,
rendered their support to the process Of i'm
medtatelT and thoroughly eTadicating the,
curse OF slAye1y-the legitimate Gauss Of the
rebe1lton-fom the sta!e.' Ia the coursc of
the evening, Governor johnson happily re-:
marked, In reference to slavery, that tbe State,
machinery could not be put In operation again
with any Of Its parts corroded. He declared
bimeef IN favor Of immediate emancipation,
ard called on all to encourage and assist Ii
the enlistment Of negro TROOPS. -
In conclusion, We can state from good au-
thcrlty. that Tennessee is completely reyola-;
non}zed. and that the downfall of the i" inst!-
tuition" within its borders Is but question Of
precious tine.
