Gentlemen: It Is not my purpose in rising
to make an address en- this occasion, and
shall try at this opportunity, at least if
have not or cannot in others, to initiate the
example that has been set by the distinguish
ed and illustrious man that has been alluded
to here tonight by the Chairman of this
meeting, to respond to the demonstration
Won have made this evening, by merely pro-
posing sentiment: No State of Its OWL
will has the right under the constitution
to renounce its place in or withdraw from
the Union (Cheers.) Nor has the Congress
of the United States, under the constitution
to degrade the people of any State by redu
cling them to the condition of a mere terri
torial dependence upon the Federal head
The one is disruption and dissolution OF
the Government, and the other is consolida

tary Governor of Tennessee:
WASHINGTON. D. C.
Mv Dear Governor: cannot too heartily
thank you for your letter dated Nashville
December 80, 1864, received on Wednesday
evening. There is not a word or sentence
in the article from the Nashville Times
which you enclose, that does not meet my
warmest appreciation. have read your
letter, and hope soon to be able to endorse
both in my two newspapers, the Chronicle
and the Press, after pretty thorough can
vass. I think the Senators and Representa-
tiyes from Louisiana will be admitted, an6
if SO, it is easy to anticipate that those O.
Tennessee will also be received. The only
person that 1 find opposed to your theory
and who is now hesitating as to the true
course to be pursued in reference to the ad
mission of Louisiana, is Mr.. Sumner, of Mas
sachusetts, and few more; but Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, is open and deter
| mined in his course, and l think he vii
| carry with him number in the attempt tt
embarrass the admission of such States a.
Tennessee After having gone through sucl
sufferings as yours, and after having reor
| ganized their States from the very founda
| ton of principle and law, would be sat
proceeding. The fact is, my dear Governor
we cannot resist peace, should the South
ern people lay down their arms. and deman'
| to come back into the Union under TIN
| terms of the amnesty proclamation, agree
| ing to the abolition of slavery by tn
amendment of the Constitution, and con
senting to restoration of the old Union
| Any party that opposes such an appeal
would come to confusion; nor can we at
tempt to embarrass such questions as thos
| presented in the case of Louisiana and Ten
nessee by legislation on the subject of negr
suffrage, because that question belongs t.
the States, and it will look very odd if tn
| legislatures from the free States shonld en-
deavor to confer the right of suffrage upol
| the, as yet, illiterate negro just Delivers
| from slavery in the South, when in nearly al
the free States suffrage is prohibited
I feel, in high hopes, thatthe cours
| of the people of Louisiana, whlcl
you have by this time seen, in coming fol
ward voluntarily and heartily agreeing t
the oaths offered by the Government, viii
be followed in other quarters, and that W
I are in fact about to realize the beginning Q
/ the end of the rebellion. We are lookini
for you here with much interest, as you
presence and your counsel are much needed
Yours truly,
/ (Signed) j. w. FoRNEY.
