as, q Sc Animpo il not iaszpsdiegey IF The
holding Of the Nashville Convention iof the objects
hsfeisiofe set forth.
And what are those objects By reference g the
proceedings Of he meeting AZ Jackson. Miss,
where the project Of this Convention was first pro-
posed, we leafn that It's main purpose is to bring
the Southern states IN united action TO dsSise and
ndopf some mode 81 AscsiaGace 10 Norfhersl ag-
gyesfcns
4 This as is apparent to every candid mind, is the
expression Of the ultra ieengo Of the South on the
slavery question this is the expression in which
the dominant maiorities ofihe Legislatures of Ala
basna, South Carolina and Georgia have conquered
but il is no assumption 10 say, that there is no
eoncsenee in it BY the largest portion Of the intel
gent and patriotic citizens Of those or of any one
of the Southern States. They do not see that
Northern "aggressions" are Of such character as
g require resistance" by Convention Of the
whole South In what do those aggressions''
consist Has the North deprived us Of the right 10
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness guar
antied BY the Constitution Of the Union Are our
social OF political privileges so nringed that we
must take immediate steps TO redress our wrongs
And how is it proposed to redress these wrongs-to
"resisf these 4aggressionsH Bymeeting at Nash
vile, making budget Of infammatory speeches,
and adopting string Of tremendous resolutions
al on piper. This is the mode OF resistance:
they cannot be invested with any rights to go be-
You'd tl.is.
The wildness, not to say Stiffness, of this project,
Is relieved by scarcely single feature Of gravity
attaching to it. One week ago we thought that the
Convention would certainly be held on the LIST Of
June, as proposed and that it might be important
70 send TO it as delegates from this State men Of
comprehensive patriotism, enlarged craftsmanship
and eminent abilitynot to aid in doing good, (or,
as we conceive, no good can come Of the Conven-
toni but IN preventing evik We are now Of a
different opinion. We have doubts as to whether
there viii be Convenfeh in Nashville on he III
of June il will certainly not be a Convention Of
the Southern States for unless present indications
mean nothing, not one half Of the Southern States
will send to il delegates, and from those States,
these delegates will be clothed with only such power
as the legislatures transcendng their constitu-
tionai fuhctions-nay confer upon them South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and, per-
haps. Arkansas the Legislatures, not tie
people, Of those States-naay possibly send persons
70 the Nashville Convection; but Vnginia, Mary
land, North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri,
Kentucky, AND TENNESSEE lat whose capital the
Convention is proposed TO be held will have no
delegates there Win such puny assemblage Of
persons as this be regarded as Contention Of tho
iSoathsrn States little inflammatory speeches
| and laundering resolutions of such an assemblage
d persons as this be sufficient to stay the aaeres
sons Of The North2 Tie whole thing is too rdicu
lous to talk about.
But, in our opinion, as before remarked this Con-

would be remarkable and unheard-of movement
that these persons from other States should assem-
bic in convention at the capital and upon the soilof
a State that disccuntenances, in the most decided
terms, the Convention and the objects it proposes
to accomplish. Inwhat spirit could these Legisla-
tive delegates proceed to hold their sittngs and
adopt their resolutions in the midst Of the citizens
Of a foreign State, between whom and themselves
there existed no sympathy of feeling, no cores
