From the New York Herald Isi inst
NASHVILLE, Jsuusry 25, 1864. Whereas, in
consequences Of the disioyAlty Of lsrgs major-
ity ct the persons holding the Offices established
by the constitution and laws OF Tennessee, and
OF the majority Of the people Of the State. and
as part Of tbs legitimate fruits Of secession and
reSelion against the GoveTnnsnt Of tie United
States, tbs people Of Tennessee have been de
prived for nearly torres years Of all free, regular
and legitimate civil government, and thfy ara
now without Governor chosen IN the ordinary
way, Legisls1ure, representation IN the Congress
of the Uai.ed States, and wifhou, courts, juagea,
eharcsilors, ard The various legiamaisy so nor
izsa county eficers.
Aud whereas, it IS believed that majority Of
the psopls Of the State are ready and desire 10
return 70 ibeir allegiance 20 ths Government Of
ths United States, and to TeorgsEizs and restore
ths SAFE government 70 the exercise Of i,s rEh.-
fdi fueetiens as Stats of the AmsTicaH U1ian
under the Constitution Of the Unite1 Stsjss; and
as an nitistoEy step in such Te1,gsriss;ioa and
