longs 10 the States alone, does hs mean 10 advise
the clique, now In power in this State to fasten
negro suffrage upon rs whilst the hands Of the

with lis former Democratic Creed--that mAjorities

he interiors; at ALL he sbOad advise repesl OF the
act of distanch ssmeut and a reference of the

lair aud equitable mode Of settling SO grave a
theory of our government and goes to show that
Tennessee is not in the Union, and is governed as q
province. n,l EU frtI.. lr.a
The hope we have indolged, Of a speedy aud
full restoration Of our rights, in the Union, is ma
terially weakened by recent out-goingsfrom WASH
ington. The remark just cited is one of them and
another, is the following declaration in The same
conversation with Col Stearns I've have, the
power to control the Rebel States if they go wssng
x shey rebel, we have the army, and eaneontrol
them by it and, if necessary, by legislation also"
There are no symptoms Of rebellion anywhere a q
this threat is purely gratuitous and in bad taste
and the legislation, spoken Of has about It an
odor of consolidation, coupled with military rule,
that unpeasantly affects every conservative who
looks to the Constitution the limitation Of Fed
raj power. But in spite of these bad symptoms
we shall still hope for the best. There may be
cogent for these utteranees, at this time,
and the future may prove their wisdom but
until the doubt is cleared up, the impression they
leave upon the South, is that of uneasiness and
distrust. ',s.a. .I Do e..i IS et. sE

Of the.authors of the Acknowledgement law as "a
gang Of scoundrels who awaited themselves Of the
public difficulties to perpetrate unnumbered crimes
against the rights of persons and property" in the
State Of Maryland. he farther tells them that the
real purpose of that law sis to screen from punish

. We have fallen upon strange times when the ad
mission Of members from sovereign States TO their
seats in the House Of Representatives depends upon
the ipss DIRT Of mere clerk NcShgille Dipstch
! This is not whit stranger than the fact, that
sovereign States States declared never 10 have
been out Of the Union are forced to shape their
ton by the pse DIRT of the President. In the
commencement of the work Of restoration. the
States were told that all they had to do was to
abolish slavery, in their amended Constitutions,
and 70 annul their secession ordinances. o. this
we had no right to complain; it was the stipulated
price for peace aud reconstruction, and when the
States promptly paid it, we supposed the bargain
was completed on both sides. But before the re-
ceipts were passed, another item was added TO the
account In the shape Of Reputation Of Confede-
rate debt; and without allowing time for full ac-
ton on this point another demand is made requir-
ing the Southern States to adopt the radical amend
Inent TO the Federal Constitution, which contains
asurrendcr, to Congress of the right to legislate
for four millions Of our population, These steps
indicate the complete overthrow of State sovereign
ty, aud the establishment Of a centralized govern
rnent. We do not believe that the President has
any such designs and yet such is the legitimate
sequence Of his acts, And whilst we commend
much that be has done for the South, we can not
but regret the later indications of policy which
promised so fair in the beginning. l.s
