TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


proer Oh the day-no man ls safe, day OF
night, within q circuit around Nashville,
whose radius is eight or tea miles. Toe
IA 81 OF these outrsg-s grow out o! the sbun
dant use Of intoxicating spirits, connected
With those gambling hel.s 20 be found IN
/ iuil blasts On every street in the city. The
same may be sad, 70 q considerable extent,
Of eli the larger cities aud t0Wns m the
Slate. Life and properly must be protected
or the coua airy vii 20 y ruin. I Therefore
call upon you, most respectfully, but earn
estly, by prompt and decisive legislation, 70
remedy this growing and alarming evil.
Should yoa iail 70 apply the Necessary
remedy, my next appeal will Re made 10
Major General Thomas 10 close up all fhese
dens Of wickedness, 20 prolific Of ighis, muir
ders and robbsTies Of every description. The
sabbaih is violated, the SANCTUARY OF ihe
Lord is ruthlessiy invaded, and ladies' and
gentlemen are insulted at every corner and
on every highway. Again, appeal 20 you,
gentlemen, 70 relieve the suffering people
from this outrageous condition of sfairs.

Mr.. Carrigan presented the fol- wing pro-
test against senate Joint resolution, No. Is:
hereby desire 70 enter my solemn pro-
test gaibzt the passage Of Senate resolution
No. -. cannot see how the passage Of
such resolutions can benefit The people cf
pr State in any manner Wha'ever; nor can
they have any Influence over the judicial
and Executive officers of the Federal Gov
erBmeut It is true tha' the ind viduals
named in the preamble Of the resolution are
quality Of treas IN against one OF the best
and most powerful governments on esrth.
it il ElsO true that the government, against
which they rebelled, is Oae Of the mtst msg
nauiInous and liberal in the world.
while there are many things said in the
preamble which / heartily endorse, Icnnnot
l give my consent % vote for or CO lntenaRee
q course Of legislation that has a tendency
70 nurse and ioster old and embittered feel
ings among our people. Give the people Of
the State OF Tennessee wise, liberal, gener
Gus laws, well toned with firm and devoted
| conservatism, and they will soon become
the most prosperous and united people In
| the Government.
The calamiiies and devastations' Of the
late rebellion are much 70 be lGmented, and
the prime movers Of the cause deserve the
exeerations Of all god men, but mercy
pleads before q generous Government 10
pardon the wrongs OF erring and inpu siye
humanity. The history OF this whole re
bellion shows Il 10 be q war 10 great extent
Of prejudice and passion, add now thai it is
al an end pardon should be grated 10 The
erring penitent. and then devotion 30 the
Government can be ineulcaied and cultiva-
ted.
If the Government Of the United States
he'd had a President when treason was BE-
ing bcldly commenced and deliberately ma
tured in The Congress Of the United Slate.,
we should never have been called upon 10
mourn over the sad condition Of our eoun-
try. The rotten iniamy that perfumes the
administrative mantle Of old James Buch-
snan smells 10 heaven There, in The fail
ure 20 execute the laws OF the Government,
is She foundation head Of the rebellion and
its h0rrid crimes.
/ Besides these objections, there is another
| concerning the Indebtedness Of the pream-
bic and resolutions.
It assumes 10 be very specific IN lts charges
as against individuals, bus SUCH Is not the
case.
After mentioning the names Of JEFF. Davis
and others 1t says: " they did deliberately
eonspiIo together, and, with others OF less
einIheBce," and then resolves th-t Jef.
lavis ana said "acc0mplices, which Ger
tainly includes that class OF men Of '.less
eminence," have Justly forfeited their |
lives" Suppose the Government should |
adopt the policy Of this resolution, how
msny lives in the South are competent for |
tbis torfsiture?
