up in few words, something like
the following: Resolved that we
are the saltsof creation. and that the

particular, is saved from hopeless
decomposition and destruction, only =,

strain of denunciation, borne OF zeal
without knowledge, against The act
of the legislature settling the State
debt, these precious patriots deliver
themselves as follows:
/ Resolved, That the past history OF
the courts Of Tennessee shows that
lit usually requires from three to SIX
wears to settle the title to piece OF
property, wind up a partnership or
distribute an estate between heirs,
and that none but persons wholly re
pardless of the honor, freedom and
prosperity of the people and fatally
bent upon their sacrifice in the inter
esfof railroads, bondholders and
: monopolists, will urge hasty action,
jud cial or Legislative, or any action
that tends to deprive the people OF
. full and fair expression Of their will
upon this subject.
Resolved, That inasmuch as there
= are thousand cases ready tor trial
in advance of this suit, and that
neither the interest of the people
D. now living nor of those yet unborn
n requires the advancement and hasty
= trial Of cause which if decided adj
versely will destroy Republican gov
eminent in Tennessee and establish
despotism for SO years more obi
GUS and oppressive than monarchy
imperialism.
