welfare, will il cOnduce to the tranquility
Of the State, and strengthen the bonds Of
the Union for the people 70 get rido the
institution Of slavery? If there are any
in Tennessee who still cling TO
the delasion OF isolation fromthe Federal
Government-of the success Of the re-.
bellion-that delusion win soon be dissi-
pated forever. And the, great question
for Tennesseeans and Kentnckians 10
determine, will be, shall Slavery be per-
petuated against the general Judgment Of
the civilized world, and at the risk of
disturbing the tranquility Of the Union.
As q citizen Of Tennessee believing
that the unity of the nation is essential
TO the preservation of the liberties of the
people, and that Slavery is the only dis
tusbing element in our social aud politi-
cal organizations, have no hesitation in
saying that every man in Tennessee and
Kentucky, who loves liberty more than
Slavery ought to use all their efforts for
the gradual emancipation and deporta-
ton of The blacks, The man, wbo is so
blind as not TO see that the institution
has already received its death blow is to
be piied. The true policy in the border
States, and Tennessee, is that it shall die
peaceably Though pro slavery man
until after the commencement of the re-
bellion, have seen and deplored It's
enormous evils, especially its bearings
upon the laboring men of the country,
its constant tendency is TO degrade free
white labor, and TO create an Aristocracy
hostile to democratic institutions, The
laws will ever be dependent upon the
manners of the people. LAcoTUs says
Good manners do more with the Ger
mans than good laws in other countries"
And Lord BACON says-"it is an old
complaint that Governments have been too
attentive to laws, while they have neg
lected the business of education" " The
only ultimate security against NAL adj
miuislraton, or the joint destruction Of
our National Government, (said CHIEF
Justice RoBERTsoN of Kentucky is the
prevailing virtue and intelligence Of III.
body Of our J,eemea." As long as Slavery
exists, there will be neither virtue or in
leligsnce, as controlling attributes of the
people. s avery will corrupt the mos
reliso community on earth. TIL,
masses in the South will never be educa.
ted, or have any security for their liber.
Ties as long as Slavery exists. The la,
boring men of Tennessee should under
stand this The Common School system
in the South, outside of the cities, ha
ever been farce, There never has been
aud never will be any disposition on tb
part of the Aristocraey of the South /,
educate the great body of the freemen
The Government must see the absolute
/ necessity of system of education com
meDsurate TO the wants of the public, a
a means of strengthening the unity 0
the nation, and preserving the peace ant
tranquility Of society. Educated mint
rules the world-iti is shield to The mass
es against the arts and Vaccinations o
the demagogue. Had the great body 0
, the mechanics and laboring men Of tn
South been educated, they could not hay
been forced into this hellish rebellion
They would have seen that secession

of, aud that the voice of history con
dtmds the movement as full Of evils L
