The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1865-11-26


I opposed the ordinance uuHifviur sscez,;o,.
voted lsr the rejection of tie crdinabcs
soolishing slavery, sc, for the purpose o,
getting control themselves, 81 tie expense
ot the Union men ofthe STATE. They wrui.i
erush these Union men nto the ground o.
day, bad they the power. They would mur-
der, burn and hang as before. The old
iesven is still slive % their hearts They
sre yet traitors.
From the Raleish Progress. Nov. Is.
The heart of every nan IN North Carol ina.
who reaily loves the Union, has been made
sad uy the probable dc eat Of Gov. Holden
sha lais depression Is nai o. Be wondered at,
tor these who confidently counted on his
election were sanguine Of q speedy return %
the Union, OF an early Liberation from miH-
tary rule and the Immediate restoratiou Of
| civil authority. Now, by the triumph
Of the enemies Of the Government and
tne toes Of The administrator, the prob
aeiliiies are that we are 20 remain
for al indefinite period andcr martial
laW5 and have no voice in The national c0un-
els; enough, in all conscience. Co cast
gloom aud depression on the most hopeful
and sanguine. Had the people have sr-
eepied toe actual condition Of things, aud
been willing 20 return 70 the Union upoa
the plan proposed by the national authori-
ues, they would have adhered b and ina
dorsed the officers and agents Of TIE Cow
erument, and aecepted she policy indicated
oy the President Of the Unitef States,
through them, instead Of defansly setting
up one oftheir own.
The fact is, and there is no use iu con
eealing il, it is the old leayen of secession
aod disaffection at work and until the
Government adopts more stringent mess-
ures toward TIE weslthy and Influential
leaders Of this disaiection than any lhat
have yet been applied. it viii increase 10
violence aud bee me more aud more dan-
gorous. Leuiency toward leading traitors, I
has, instead Of humbling and improving |.
thcm, only emboldened them % have |
treason recognized as virtue. They pro- |
less great devotion to the Union, and adj /
miration for Andrew Johnson, but they viii 4
not admit that secession was treason, or I
even wrong-0n the contrary, coatend that I
the rebellion was a most sscrtd cause, and, /
while tbs 90 Yam kess'' overcame fts defend
ers, God Almighty and the angelic hosts
fought on the side Of Davis and BENJAMIN.
Such were the doctrines iucuIcatod from
The pulpit and religious press, and such aIe
now the articles Of faith insIsted on in
whispered and bated breath By the brother
hood.
Day after day these leaders Of disafiec-
lion, preachers, lawyers, saints and sinners,
iwear their allegiancs % the Government
hey get protect on, charity, and everything
hey can from the G0verumeut, BY hyToe-
'isT snd false presentations; but when 6
oyal man and a disafiected man, friend %

'rnDent, comer before them for votes, tbey I
invariably supt ort the one that Is the lar p
.heit removed from loyalty. Religious and 4,
,opperhead papers may swear that thee I
hings are not 50, and Of course we expect
hem 70 do it, and yet al who are really the
friends Of the Uniou and the enemies OF trea-
on know them TO be true.
The heafts Of good meu everywhere are
oppressed and full Of gloomy iorebodings- Q

oubtedly justify the President IN main
inning the STAND he has already taken, With c

i'm 70 take step backward and no o
1uud Union man can expect him TO DO 30.
Every day's experience demonstrates p
hat the Republic can only be preserved by b
