VOICES FROM TENNESSEE.
FROM THE NASHVILLE BAssxn.

T r 4
NASHVILLE BANNER.
The people OF Tennessee do not want their State
dlshonored by another Hartford Convention and,
If the Mobile Register is ambitious Of the distinc-
toa, let him invite those who 60 for "Southern
Confederation with Capital at Ashevile'-those
who wish to elaborate plans for Southern Con-
iederation-let him, we say, invite them to do it at
Mobile. Then, at least, the Old Hero who told the
people of South Carolina, in times past, that "com
pared to disunion all other evils are light viii not
have his sleeping dust shaken by the tread of those
whom when living, he made quail before his presence whilst
contemplating similar pots-hs grave will be dishonored
and, in conclusion, would just hint that will be time
enough to hold wardance his tomb when the people
OF Tennessee invite them to do it. Until that time, would
be just well for the Register keep homss for those bet
ter able to appreciate the value Of them.
FROM THE NASHVILLE "TRUE wats."
The evidences Of strong love Of the Union Begin
ming be Enthusiastically disclosed every where The people
are waking up to their real danger The feeling of the great
American heais precisely nothing short Of the sentiment
the Union shall not be dissoired.
We hope the Convention at Nashville will not be held
We hope to that the idea abandoned If its
object be dsunon other location should be selected If
the real design the regular deliberations and action
OF the constituted authorities Of the Government it is
with the most fundamental principles of the Government If
is intended to afford occasion for inoensive expression
OF opinion it is than useless other modes and forms
authoritative and less liable exception If is
intended allow expression of unity Of sentiment in the
South, it sad mistake, there is appearance Of
unity concord among those who have urged the call Of
Convention Whatever may be the plausible pretences
those who meet in such Convention will be sgmaized The
mpldences Of the restless wicked few, will stain ndelbly
the whole body The surviving members Of the old Hartford
xapfn hayo
procdng to indicate themselves from the charge of being
traitor the Union-t has removed the stigma rest
ing upn them.
FROM THE MAuRY INTELLIGENCE.
It snrue that this Southern Convention finds any con-
siderable sympathy with the people either party the South
Whereas the evidence Where the spontaneous moving
the " gent action Of those who deeply interested It
is not Il be found. ~ '~
And yet there is deep feeling the South on this slavery
question The people, however, for
conce of this kind now than has existed for the
last twenty years With wonderful patience they have borne
the insoence Of Northern fanaicism believing that it
limited h its extent and harmless to misunderstanding that
hey have friends at the North, true Steel, who will
stand band defend them all hazards and the last
remty land why should they make any movement which
would ebaass these friends and the natural consequence
which wsud be the very opposite Of all their wishes They
will not % it. They know when it will be time for them to
and should that time comeand Heaven knows they
do not sfe to THERE will he mistake to the
determination.
We ale sorry for the honor Of Old Maury that meeting
has been called here for the purpose Of sending representa-
ton to this Southern Convention from among her citizens
Upon whom the responsibility rests we don't know, nor dc
care know. We have nothing to offer in the way
Reproductive simply express sincere regret at such an
nouncement We have doubt that it originated in good
Intentions, but think far judgment OF the people
concerned that they do not desire such representation
We know the object of this Convention such has
minated BY more than journal the South, far from
being DESTROYS Of representation they would prefer that the
soil Of Tennessee and the capital of State should
be desecraed by such assembage To be the De-
oca and other papers Of political stamp, repudate with
indignation any such object has been elsewhere avowed
We glad that they have done sobut would it not be inf
nitey better for have utilization at all with those who
the object of this Convention 'sto FORM con-
sTITUrioN THE UNTTED STATES OF NoRTH AMERIcA-
to elaborate plans for "a sourHEss CosrEDER
TON" What Tennessean wishes to be represented in
Convention containing within itself those who cherish such
sentiments
