A Washington dispatch Of the Esd inst,
to the Cincinnati Commercial. says ct
will be recolleeted that dusing the last ses-
sion of Congress a joint resolution was
passed re4uiling the President to supply
to the militia Of Tennessee 10000 stand Of
arms. There appears to be no doubt that
the terms of the act have been fully com
piled with by the Executive. for recently
application was made to the President by
certain citizens Of that State, asking that
the arms should be placed in the arsenal,
and that as armed organization of the mi
litia might be prohibited. The citizens so
applying stated that if the arms were dis
tributed, they would be used for an i'm
proper influence in the political canvass in
Tennessee. The President has taken the
question under careful consideration, and
has decided not to interfere in the premi-
Sea.

Official dispatches to Secretary Seward
announce the fall of the Maximilian En-

peFor and his entire force. Thus ends the
struggle in Mexico It's also announced
that the young government win hang Max

less untrue.

Who liberated the slaves Of the South :?
Who gave them their freedom The Bad
icals assert it was the Radical Congress
Was this SO ? There IS not word Of
truth in it. The late slaves of the South
we're manumitted by the solemn act Of the
Southern States themselves. There is not
a recorded word to show that Congress
did it, or attempted to do it. The Con
stitutional Amendment abolishing slavery
was an act of Congress; and it was sub
mitted to the people Of all the difsre'
States for ratification or rejection. 1t was
ratified. and then became part of the
Constitution itself But it was ratified by
the Southern States as States in that Union
which Congress represented. If Virginia
and South Carolina were not States when
they adopted or ratified that amendment,
then the slaves are not yet free.

Fellow citizens of Tennessee, remember
the glorious victory won in the land of the
Yankee. Let the grand triumph of the
Democracy of Connecticut nerve your
heart for the work you have to do. The
freemen of Kentucky have won another bat
tie over the foes of the Constitution, and
are earnestly, anxiously awaiting the re-
demption of their sister commonwealth
Maryland has been freed by the idomita-
BILE will of her gallant sons. Every breeze
that sweep down upon you from the North
is the messenger of cheering news
Stronghold after stronghold Of The enemy
is falling into our hands, and the foes Of
freedom tremble as they note the unerring
indications that their power is rapidly
waning. The Constitution still lives, and
one brave and vigorous assault upon the
foe who lords it over your PROSTATE bat
noble State will impart to it new strength
and vigor. Redeem Tennessee, and such
a wall shall arise from the awe-struck CO.
horts of tyranny throughout tho land IS
will gladden. the hearts Of all true meu-
Redeem your State, aud the thrones of the
FIVE military despots who blight the sunny
South with a mildew viii totter as in the
commissions of an earthquake. Oh broth
ers true, fail not in the hour of battle, but
press right Oh through the breach which
has already been made in the lines of the
enemy. Falter not, but strike fast and
hard till his broken cohorts reel beneath
your blows, and fy in terror and confusion
from The field So shall Tennessee take
her proud place beside Connecticut and
Maryland and Kentucky, and around the
standard of the Constitution which they
have so proudly so CALAMITY upborae, shall
rally State after State until the laad is free

In tbs last number Of Brownlow's Knox
vile Wig an attempt is made by that fee
BE old man, the Governor, to explain
his attack upon Northern men who happen
to think for themselves. The sexplar 3
ton" is only more wretched, puerile and
bad-hearted than the original oaense. Here
it is in full:
The rebel papers complain that Governor
BIownlow calls certain class OF men
''mercenary Northern sneaks. The Gov
eruor adds that this class of men are to be
found in all the towns of Tennessee, and
that they are, by large odds, meaner
class of men than the rebel bushwhackers.
He now proposes to tell who they are
They are that class Of men who creep az
ter rebels and traitors for the sake of patron
age and employment, and talk and write on
The rebel side, in opposition to the princi-
pies and party they fought for while in the
Union army. The Governor does not de-
sire the votes of such sneaks, and fatteTs
himself that he can be elected without
them.
The meaning Of this IS that Northern
men are free to come here if they vote fol
Brownlow, but, if not, they are ''NortherE
sneaks, to be prescribed by the govern
ment, aod driven away in Disgrace. There
is liberty for the millions There is Of
fetal encouragement to immigration Their
is ''free thought, free speech. and free dem
ocratio republican government, equality 70
all men, and justice before the laws. =
