Gentlemen:-Your letter addressed
to me and containing printed docu.
ment headed, ITO the People of Ten
nessee," with request for me to sign
the same and return by first mail, in
enclosed stamped envelope to you, SO
that said printed address may be given
to the newspapers not later than next
Saturday, has been duly received, and
in reply thereto | beg TO submit the
following open answer which it is
hoped you will do me the kindness and
justice to give the same publicity that
may be given to the address you ask
me to sign and return to you for publi-
cation.
You say: we, in conjunction with
our friends, believe that the issue of
the address at this particular time will
be very helpful to our cause If it is
intended to help the states or her
peoples cause, the purpose is laud-
able one and every good citizen of Ten
nessee would rejoice to see such inten-
ded result accomplished, but, if on the
other hand it is intended thereby, as /
doubt not it is, to help some selfish in
terests, desires and ambitions of a coali.

state, her good name and people, every
citizen loyal to the state, her interests
and her people should set the stamp of
his disapproval on every effort in fur
therance of such purpose.

of my district as pronounced temper

those acting with you, and in opposi
tion in most instances to the regulars
until you rendered it no longer possible
for me to act with you, by your course
in unwisely absenting yourselves from
the house of representatives, and to
prevent being compelled to return to
the house and the discharge of your
duties, which you evidently then be-
lieved could be done by arrests, you
fed the state and took refuge in Alaba-
ma. This course, on your part, was,
in my opinion, unwise and unpatriotic,
and has brought about the present dis
tressful condition of affairs in Tennes-
see. The threatened conditions set
forth i'm the printed address which you
ask me TO sign are not, in my opinion,
the causes of the present state of affairs.
