The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1865-03-02

during the last four weeks wild apprehen-
sions Of danger have disturbed the minds
Of the timid. The enemy has recently
thrown his forces across the lines Of every
congressional district, east, west and south
Since then, Senators and Representatives
have, one by one, fed from the Capital,
leaving but skeleton of the legislature,
which is rapidly diminishing its numbers
below quorum. 1t IS true the President
must stand firmly as national dangers
thicken. It is true our scared army must
bare their breasts to the storm with more
heroic courage as the columns Of the enemy
converge on the liberty and existence Of
the country. should the President waver
and initiate Congressional example, there
will be no difficulty in finding instances
in history to illustrate his disgrace.
