Title: At a meeting in the Representatives Hall of the capitol of Tennessee on the evening of September 12th, 1864, Col. R.D. Mussey, Judge J.M. Palmer, Dr. R.L. Stanford, and Captain J.F. Rusling were appointed to prepare an address expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. They submitted the following: To the loyal men and women of the loyal states---Greeting: We, officers and soldiers of the armies of the United States, stationed here, desire to join with you in devout ascriptions to the only giver of victory, ... Three years ago, when traitors attempted to destroy our nation, we all pledged ourselves to our country. ... We know that never before were the Rebels so nearly conquered. ... We have victory in our hands. If we fail to clutch it and retain it now, we are criminal, ... Believe not, brothers and sisters, we beseech you, those men, who preach a peace to be gained by our submission. ... Black men have in this war fought bravely for our flag, on the ocean and on the land. They have been true to our cause, and it would be monstrous injustice to allow them ever again to be held as chattels by the perjured traitors who once owned them. ... Brothers and sisters, we spurn the proffered "sympathy" of traitors who have never voted a man nor a dollar towards putting down this rebellion; and, not as partizans, nor politicians, but as patriots, we beg you, ... to elect Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson
Description: "This addressed was adopted, and the committee directed to circulate it for signatures. Copies may be obtained at Captain Rusling's office, on Cherry Street, or Colonel Mussey's officer, on Cedar Street."

Title: A Southern peace! Democrats! Be not deceived with the idea that the Rebel leaders will willingly consent to a restoration of the Union. In the Rebel official report of the interview between Jefferson Davis and Messrs. Jaquess and Gilmore, Davis dismissed them with the declaration--"That the separation of the states was an accomplished fact; that he had no authority to receive proposals for negotiation except by virtue of his office as president of an independent confederacy; and on this basis alone must proposals be made to him." ... Democrats! Are you prepared to legalize secession, to recognize the independent sovereignty of the states, and thus to perpetuate revolution and civil strife? If not, vote for Lincoln and Johnson, and thus secure the only sure peace

Sir:--On Tuesday next will be the presidential election and these few plain words are addressed to you in no partisan spirit, but with a deep and earnest feeling for the Union and a desire that each voter shall realize the importance of the occasion. ...

With the one, the abandonment of slavery is indispensable, and it is only on other points (distinctly not on this) that liberal terms will be made: with the other, the Union is alone indispensable, and all other subjects will be open to consideration. With General McClellan, debt, taxes, and all other questions can be easily adjusted after reconciliation and Union, and the country be spared the ruin which in some shape must befall it if the present incumbent is re-elected for four years more. ...
