WHO THEY ARE.
rom the Chicago Times.l

From the Chicago Times.l
Among the Southern "loyalists whom
Chicago is expected to honor within a short
time are one GRIFFITH, who was formerly
a type-setter in the Chicago Tribune office,
and some six others, all old residents of
Chicago and all well acquainted with the
free-lunch, beer and other saloons of Chicago.
BY going carefully over the list of " dis
tinguished Southern loyalists" who are
following up the track of the President, it
will be found that the number Of genuine
Southerners in the party is to the number
of renegade Northerners and demonstrating
Puritans, what zero IS to inhnitude. All Of
Them it will be found have not yet lost the
habit of uttering pious phrases through
their noses and of trading jack-knives when
there is offered no better opportunity for
swindling. Three-fourths of them browsed
in their infancy within the shadow of the
Green Mountains, and were spanked in
their school days by New England school
marms The other fourth have gained
residence in the South by being drawn
thither as a1ording a better opening for
confidence men, or else they have found
the South, despite its heats, cooler place
as a residence than the North. If there are
any among them who are not swindling
Puritans on their travels or Northern
people who who went to Texas at an early
day, or are not the old hangers-on of North
ern bar-rooms apd free-lunch establishments,
we shall be very glad to mention their
names and do them Justice

THE PRESENT STATE GOVERNMENT
AND THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE.

There IS an evident desire on the part of
BRowNIow & Co. to force difficulty with
the people Of Tennessee. They think that
the only means by which they can perpetu-
ate their power is to get up such an issue be,
tween the people and the present State au-
thorities as will enable them to appeal sue
cessfully TO the passions and preiudices of
the North for military aid TO crush out the
liberties of the people, and hold them in sub
lection to their vulgar will and fendish hate
BRowNIow, in his recent speech at Bos-
ton, is reported to have spoken Of "a Con-
vention of Rebels.and Copperheads that is to
meet at Nashville to overthrow the State
Government He had notified Mr.. SEWARD
Of this Convention, but he had replied in
sneering and contemptuous letter, which the
speaker would shortly publish to the world.
However, he would call an extra session of
the Legislature, and would meet that Con-
vention, in their efforts TO overthrow his
Government, fully armed"
II is evident from this and other indica-
tons, that the question of selfgovenment
in Tennessee is to be treated in future, not
as a matter of right, but as a question Of
polrer. IL the people chose to alter their
organic law, they must first consult the
temper Of the dominant party at Washing
ton. If that is favorable, they can defy
the handful of vulgar impostors who now
tyraHnize over them; but il uniavorable-
If determined to crush out liberty and reduce
Us 20 the condition Of asubjugated province
We have no alternative but TO submit, and
sue for an assignment Of masters, II not less
oppressive, at least more respectable.
We counsel our fellow-citizons to exercise
all possible patience for the present. The
question Of constitutional government is
now in issue before the Northern people.
They have the decision Of L.; We have not.
II they decide favorahly, We will not be
long, nor win We find il difficult in asserting
our rights. II they decide adversely, free
institutions are At an end for the present, and
calm and prudent men will stand prepared

our future. For the present, let us be quiet

THE vOTCE or THE SOLDIERS.

We print this morning the resolutions
adopted by the Convention of Soldiers and
Sailors, at Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday.
They place the soldiers of the Union pre-
cisely where patriotic citizen soldiery should
always be-for their country, its constitution
and laws. It gives US renewed hope in
the midst of the trials that surround and
lie before us. II vindicates the objects
Of the war on the part of the North,
and the motives Of those who par
ticipated in it, and lifts it up to the great
height Of a contest for national unity under
a constitution that guarantees equal rights
TO all, and the equal liberties of all. 1t
raises it from the level Of conquest, ven
geance and plumber, relieves il of sectional
hate, and gives an assurance that the South
most craved and needed, that the war was
waged for a constitutional Union; and again
pledged their lives and fortunes TO the pre-
servation Of such Union, whether assailed
from the North, East, South or West
As great as were their victories in war,
none was so great as this triumph of reason
and justice in time of peace-devOid of
passion, imbued with magnanimity, full of
unselish patriotism, and embracing the en-
tire country. 1t is, indeed, a grand con-
quest, for it secures the confidence and af-
fections of the Southern heart-replacing
the cornerstone Of fraternity and faith as
the foundation Of the national structure
thus strengthening the Union in its weakest
point, and restoring the essential element of
its solidity and durability.
Not the least pleasing incident of the
Convention-but one of its first legitimate
fruits-was the greeting it received from the
late Confederate soldiers at Memphis-the
earnest and manly expression of gratitude
and confidence from the Southern to the
Northern soldier-and the warm reciprocity
with which it was received.

Tee on Resolutions, reported the following
platform, which was adopted, with immense
cheering.
The Union soldiers and sailors who serv-
ed in the army and navy Of the United
States, in the recent war for the suppression
of the instruction, the maintenance of the
Constitution, the Government and the flag
of the Union, grateful TO Almighty GOD for
his preservation of them through the perils
and hardships of war, and for his mercy in
browning their efforts with victory, freedom
and peace, deploring the absence from their
midst of many brave and faithful comrades
who have sealed with their life-blOod their
devotion to the sacred cause of American
nationally, and determined now, as hereto
fore, TO stand by the principles for which
their glorious dead have fallen, and by which
the survivors have triumphed
Being assembled in National Mass Con-
ventiOn, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, this
18th day of September, 1866, do resolve and
declare:
Isl. That we heartily approve the resOlu-
tions adopted by the National Union Con-
vention, held in the city of Philadelphia, on
the 18th day of August last, composed Of
delegates representing all the States and
Territories in the United States.
ID. That our object in taking up arms to
suppress the late rebellion, was to defend and
maintain the supremacy Of the Constitution,
and to preserve the Union with all the dig
nifty, equality and rights of the several
States unimpaired, and not in any spirit of
oppression, nor for any purpose Of conquest
or subjugation and that whenever there
shall be any armed resistance to the lawfully
constituted authorities of our national
Union either in the South or in the North,
in the East or in the West, emulating the
self-sacrifcing patriotism of our revolution
airy forefathers, we will again pledge to its
support our lives, our fortunes and our sa-
cred honor.
+ Gen. EsTE, from same committee, report
ed. lengthy address, which was received
with unbounded enthusiasm, and adopted
with waving of flags, cheers and singing
"Rally round the flag, boys" Gen. SLACK
offered a resolution deprecating the action of
soldiers in joining secret political societies.

ISAAC J. WIsTAR, of Philadelphia, has
written aresponse to an invitation to be pres
ent at the Cleveland Convention of Soldiers

The present attempt Of certain Northern
politicians to commit similar rebellious acts,
by keeping our Union in condition of haz-
ard and danger, and compelling one portion
of our cOuntrymen to submit without voice
or representation, TO the government of

the preservation of the same Union for which
we fought as comrades during four long and
eventful years.

THE DEATH OF DIR. JNO. NJ. WATSON.

The death OF Professor WATSON, for some
time anticipated, occurred on yesterday
morning at his residence near this city. He
had been for several months in a declining
state Of health from an obstinate affection Of
the stomach, and by his decease, is relieved
from physical suffering, which he bore pa
tientIy, and IN that serenity Of mind with
which the good man meets his fate.
DR.. WATSON was, we believe, native Of
this State, and at the time Of his death,
in the 6sth year Of his age. A great
portion Of the prime and vigor of his
life was spent in Rutherford county in
the practice Of his profession. In that
county, and a widely extended region
beyond, he pursued the practice Of
medicine with great success, and enjoy
ed distinguished reputation for skill and
scientific attainments. His estimable quail
ties as a man, and his qualifications for
usefulness 10 the noble vocation TO which
he devoted his energies, achieved for him
a hold upon the affections Of the people and
popularity seldom falling to the lot of the
physician. In his life he was accorded the
character Of a faithful, laborious and con-
scientious member Of the medical faculty I;
and there will be none now to dispute his
just title 10 the reward he received in the
public confidence which was bestowed on
him.
In 1850, at the ganization of the Medi-
cal Department Of the University Of Nash
vile, he was rendered the Chair of Obstet-
RIGS, position he has ever since filled to the
honor Of the institution, and the profit Of the
large number Of alumni which have left It's
halls. As a lecturer Prof WATSON was full,
fluent, and studiously practical. He had a
large and varied experience, and it was
from this, more than from the books and the
speculations of others, that he drew the ma
terial Of his teachings. His style was not
ornate, nor did he seek TO offer a mass Of
technical details, and crude theories. His
object was to teach practical truths, and
qualify pupils for the duties of the physi-
clan; and in this he was eminently success
ful, and has left an honorable fame.
DIR. WATSON was prominent member
and clergyman Of the sect Of Christians call
ing themselves Primitive Baptists; and
perhaps no man of the denomination WELD
ed larger influence among them than he
His christian character was unspotted, and
among those who shared his theological
views he was an oracle and guide. He has
left 4 posthumous work in exposition Of his
creed, completed during his last illness,
which will doubtless be received by his sect
as a valuable legacy from one whom they
loved and admired.
In all the relations Of life DIR. WATSON
commanded respect; and in his death the
community loses a distinguished member,
the medical profession one who honored it,
,and the University of Nashville promi-
'nent upholder of its prosperity and renown.

The news, over the Cable, as TO NAPo-
Icons intentions in the Mexican difficulty
is conflicting. One telegram says that MAX
MILAN Immediately returns to Europe in
a war steamer, but the next one declares
that General MARQUEE, a French officer,
proceeds at once to organize an army for
service after the French evacuation Of the
country. Both these statements cannot be
correct Another dispatch mentions the
significant faetthat MAMMALIAN has pledged
half his import duties to France to pay the
demands of the latter country. This does
not look as if NAPOLEON would permit his
puppet 10 abdicate.

the calumnies uttered against Presidents
JEFFERSON and JACKSON. President JET
PERSON was called coward and libertine;
accused of having black mistress-"DUsKY
SAL"-and with being an infdel he was
denounced, also, as a traitor in the interests
of France. JACKSON was proclaimed an
usurper, tyrant and murderer; a duellist,
horse-racer, debauchee, and charged with
stealing and living with another mans wife

he accomplished his purposes; it was asked

tiagO correspondent says Of Gen. LEw. WALLAcE's
Mexican fllibuster movements for some time
past: Gen. STURM Of Illinois, and CoRLIss Co,
Of New York, agents for the sale Of Mexican
bonds, with ether parties in New York and
Washington. have contracted TO supply CARyA-
jail with $500 900 worth Of war materials. A ship
load was forwarded. and the balance was getting
ready for shipment. CARvAIAL has also contract
ed for $4,000 worth Of hospital stores, the con-
tractors expecting tn realize fabulous profits.
Thegreat object Of all this great supply Of ma
terial of war and medical stores was the equip
ment of force Of 10000 Americans, who wee to
be recruited at New York, New Orleans and other
points throughout the United States. Major
General LEw. WALLACE was to have command of
she force, which was TO concentrate ia Matamoras
previous to the advance into the interior. This
force was to fight for the Mexican Republic
against the French. Upon the arrival of General
WALLACE at MatamOras, he had an interview
with Gen. CaRyAJGL, and the result was a teie
gram sent by General WALLACE to parties IN New
Orleans to forward Immediately 5000 men. The
LIT inst. found CARvAJAL an exile and resident
of Brownsville. General WALLACE cOuntermand-

gusted with the change in affairs, he proceeded TO
Monterey. TO see President JUAREZ.
