eur Appeal to the People.

FELLow-CoUsTRYMENl Brother Union Men LET
Us take counsel together. A Southern Convention
held at Chicago offers to the surages Of the Araeri-
can people disgraceful platform which ignomini-
onsly and wickedly betrays to our common enemy
controlled by the worst men out of he'll, the sacred
cause for which the loyal States have been contend
ing for -four heroic years. The platform falls upon
the counTy--not during period of gloom with
Union msn--as if VIC were driven by Lee Hood,
and others to the extremity of surrender but at the
brightest period of the war; al time when instead
Of falling at the feet of the enemy, the enemy is
falling at our feet; at time when our arms never
had such luster of victories achieved, and Of vic
tories expected and certain the eye of the military
man. In the midst of the great military and naval
movements of Grant, Sherman and Farragut three
of the great of this war, if not of the nine
teeDth century, whose terrible blows making the
enemy reel in all parts Of the ield-a body of vile
conspirators leap up at Chicago calling upon the
North to lay down its arms and saying to te South
the loyal States conquered and asking for dis
graceful peace. In the Border States of Kentucky
and Tennessee and in every county set of traitors
are to be found, more base, more reasonable and
every way hateful than the vilest rebels in
arms in the seeded States who respond in the spirit
of Chicago and ask to disgrace ourselves by agree
ing to their proposed surrender.
Now, the vote of Tennessee in the coming cleo
ton may not be counted and if it is it viii by
no means turn the scale or change the result But
we cannot strike rebels South, rebels North and
rebels ct home more decisive blow than by Civ
ing large vote to Lincoln aud johnson on the sth
Of, November. Roll mp the Lincoln vote, and over
wheIm the traitors who ornose him and tl1rongh
him the war, and even the Union. We owe it to
ourselves to cur rosterity to country and to
cause and candidates to give them large vote and
a telling majority. Let the world where we
stand, who we are for and what ere aiming at.

AT quarterly meeting Conference held for the
Seyierville Circuit in Seviervlc, Saturday, the
18th day of October 1854 the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, After years of excitement and agita-
ton of the question of slavery in the Methodist
Episcopal Church Of the United States resulting
finally in the separation of the Southern from the
Northern portion of the church, the Southern por-
ton Of said church established separate organiza
ton under the title of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South This s1estion not only produced
division of the NJ f. Church, but also division in
the various denominations in the United States and
whereas this question has not only been source OF
trouble and contention in the various church organ
izations in the United States but has been source
of political agitation and trouble in the Government
of the United States since its introduction into
the game--croducing sectional strife and sectional
parties discord and convnlsions in the Government
of the United States until finally it has eliminated
in the separation of the slave from the free States
and in a cruel, unholy and destructive war; and
whereas, with the lights before US we honestly be-
Iieve before God, that the rebellion OF the Southern
States will ultimately be crushed out and with 1t
the institution of slaverythe sole cause OF the re-
bellion--thereby removing entirely out OF the way
and forever the only question of difference between
the members &C the NJ. e. Church South and North;
Therefore,
Resogced That we the members of the quarterly
meeting Conference of the Sevierville Circuit do
heartily endorse the proceedings OF tne OohveItieh
held at Knoxville on the 7th and 18th days Of July
1864 composed of the loyal preachers and members
of the Holston Conference, in changing connec-
ton from the M. E. Church South 70 the nj. q.
Church of the United States; and we hereby ratify
and approve the same.
Resolved, That we hereby change our Church re-
lation from the NJ e. Church South to the NJ. E.
Church Of the United States.
ResoIrsd That we hereby authorize the preachers
in charge Of said Circuit to take up the Church
isters as they stand and any member wishing to dis
continue his connection with said Church in conse-
ouence of the change, win be allowed to do So
Resolred, That the foregoing proceedings be pub
lished in the Knoxville WING.

Speaking at London.

III. BTOirfalo10 There was a large and respec-
table assemblage of the citizens--both ladies and
gentlcmen--cf Roane and Monroe here to-day, Tor
the purpose Of hearing Mr. wisener discuss the is
sues Of the campaign.
50 Ear as the expected address MSS concerned the
people were disappointed Mr. Wisener failing to
attend; but the occasion turned out, ii worked no
Disappointment at last. Lieut.. p S. Abbott. of the
First Ohio Heavy Astillery, and Assistant Adjutant
General, Sd Brigade 23d Army Corps q true soldier
and true man. ever ready, to serve his country
wherever duty calls metthe people in the Episcopal
Church, and addressed them for the space of about
one hour and half with power and eloquence
not common in these latter days Citizens and SOL
diers hung upon his words with breathless silence,
during the entire discourse that showed their great
interest in both the speech itself and the cause he
advocated
The speaker dwelt with power upon the great ne
cessty for the war at the outset and vividly dis
played the still greater necessity for it now, to re-
deem the government and do honor to the memory
of those martyrs who have already fallen in its de-
Tense. He thought if any people earth should
love and support Mr.. Lincoln, it should be the
Union people of East Tennessee, aand any people
out of he'll should vote for him. it should be those
rebels who had been SO freely pardoned by his
clemency. He believed war had been commenced
By the socercign people that no power on earth
could check until the flag Of the Union should float
over every city, hamlet and Of territory right
fully belonging to what he regarded the greatest
government God ever instituted among men, and until
every heart within that limit should look with re-
spect and reverence upon the Constitution of our
country as handed down to=us by our revolutionary
sires-an instrument he regarded really inspired
much so any of the sacred Scriptures, and
ought to have place as the first chapter of Reve
lations.
He showed the necessity of unanimity of senti-
ment and action among the people Of our section,
and urged upon them the necessity and duty that
rested upon them to adopt and support the families
of those who had left their homes to fight the battles
of our common country.
All the while the speaker was powerful and
touching--ever and anon moving his audience with
the deepest emotions. He would force them to a
hearty laagh and then melt them to tears by his
tender and touching strains
All told, the speech cannot fail to produce hap
py effect upon the community, and those who heard
il would be ungrateful indeed not to acknowledge
their obligations to Lieut. Abbott for the interest of
the day.
Yours, trny,
