SNeANN
We publish below, call upon the
people of East Tennessee 70 appoint
delegates to meet in convention at
Knoxville on the third day of next
month, for the purpose of memorial
izing the Legislature to authorize the
erection of East Tennessee into a sepa-
rate State. This looks like going to
work in earnest We are glad TO see il.
1t is an suspicious omen. As such
it viii be hailed with satisfaction in
Middle and West Tennessee. There
have always been "irreconeilable diff
ferences Of opinion and interest be-
tween the hardy sons of the land of
mountains and wales, of delicious waters
and invigoratiAg airs, and the grasping,
stuck-up" population of the other
sections. These differences are the
more apparent now that East Tennes-
scans have had an opportunity to make
their mark in the policy of the State, and
bring down upon themselves the envy
and jealousy of their presumptuous
rivals. They can never grow less. On
the contrary, they must become moro
and more irreconcilable and unbear-
able, IS the years wax and wane. It's
almost too intolerable to think Of Up
with the FLAG OF East TENNESSEE
To THE PEOPLE OF EAsT TENxEssEE.
We, the undersigned, citizens Of East Ten
ncsee, in view Of the irreconcilable differ
encss Of opinion and interests heretofore
and now existing between our people and
those Of the other grand Divisions Of the
State, and looking 10 the formation, in
Constitutional mode, Of a new State 10 be
called East Tennessee, do hereby suggest
and name the first Thursday in May next.
being the third day thereof, for the people
OF East tennessee, and Of such other coun-
ties as choose TO join rs, 10 assemble in Con-
YentlOn at Knoxville, by their delegates
duly appointed or chosen, not exceeding two
for each one hundred qualified voters. for
the purpose Of memorializing the LegIsla-
ture for leave 10 form a new State, or to
take such other steps looking 10 that end as
the Convention may, in its wisdom, deem
proper and advisable
We respectfully ask the people Of the
different counties to appoint their delegates
as soon as possible, SO that the action OF the
Convention may be laid before the Legisla-
ture before it adjourns.
