Thirteen Rebel Generals.

The following document was presented
to our Legislature by the signers, in person
ON the first day of this month
TO THE HONORABLE THE LEGISLATURE OF
TENNESSEE NOW IN EXTRAORDINARY SEES.
SION
The right OF petition and remonstrance
being conceded by all classes in this conn
try, and feeling, as we do, deep solicitude
for the peace and quiet Of our great and
glorious State, and belonging to that class
IN Tennessee who are regarded by some Of
the authorities as hostile to the present or
ganization, we yield TO sense Of duty and
respectfully invite your honorable body TO
q consideration CT our view Of the means
that may avert the precipitation of the
criss which acknowledged TO beimminent
Being Unidentified with that large GLASS sup
posed TO be hostile to the State Govern
ment, we beg to respectfully say that his
EYoellenoy, the Governor, wholly misap-
prehends our feeling and intentions in de
olaring in his late message that we seek the
overthrow of the State Government or to
do any other act by revolutionary or law
less means. Neither we nor those with
whom, in past days, we have bee associated
contemplate any such rashness or folly I;
nor do we believe there is in Tennessee any
organization, either public or secret, which
has such a purpose and if there be, we
have neither sympathy or utilization there
with We believe the peace OF the State
does not require the organization of mill
tary force by your honorable body, and re-
spectfulty submit that such measure might
more strongly tend TO bring about and pro
mote collision than to conserve the harmony
and good order of the country. And, in
ascmuch as the supposed danger ito the
peace OF the State is apprehended from
that class Of the community with which we
are considered identified, as Inducements and
reason to your honorable body not to or
.ganize such military force, we pledge our
selves to maintain the order and peace of
the State with whatever of influence we
possess to uphold and support the laws,
and aid in their execution, trusting that a
reciprocation Of these sentiments by your
honorable-body will produce the enactment
Of such laws as will remove all irritating
causes now disturbing society. For when
it is remembered that the large mass Of
white men in Tennessee are denied the
right TO vote OF hold Office, it is not won
derful VI unnatural there should exist more
or less dissatisfaction among them. And
we beg leave to respectfully submit for
your Consideration, that prompt and eff
hcient aeticr on the part Of the proper au.
thorities, for removal Of the political dis
abilities, resting upon 30 many Of our PEG
pie, would heal all the wounds Of our State
and make US once more prosperous, con-
tented and united people.
