Having reviewed, with all possible sandor, the
origin of this assault, which we can only palliate,
and not justify, we gather a moral from the histo

debted for his unfortunate position, are persons
who seem to have modelled their habits and prac-
tees on those of the sauvais ton known to Euro
pean society, of which Lady Blessington was the
head, and coteries of which are well known in
London and on the European continent Fashion

are totally opposed to those practical, sensible,

the true republican elegance and simplicity of man.

Wopssceive already the mischief that the introduce

The NASHVILLE CONVENTION AND THE NORTH
After session of nine days, the Nashville Con-
vention adjourned, to meet in six weeks after
Congress shall adjourn. While Congress has done
nethlng, the Nashville Convention has done
great deal, that begins to tell everywhere, and
particularly here at the North
All the politicians are in quake. They have
been fretting and tuning for nine days, and now
they in the very dog days of politics, and have
become quite rabd. AT first they predicted
failure of the convention to accomplish any end of
importance. Now, they see that tremendous re-
suits are coming out of the discreet and sensible
movements at Nashville. Perfectly aware that

deal periodically with balance Of power in their
hands than the North, the people do not care
about sacrificing the country upon the great ques-
ton, to aid ragged politicians and fellows strug-
Cling for place. They will go in for the Missouri
line to the Pacific. If there is any doubt on this
point, let the wre-pulers at the North wait and

party, will sweep away all the rottenness and cor
ruption which now jeopardize the health Of the
country, and new organization will give fresh
ness and efficiency to the government.
The probabilities are, soon the Nashville
Convention re-assembles, that we shall have the
outlines of a great political agitation marked out.
This will be a commencement. Speedily will
follow every other requisite. New journals will
spring up to give the opinions Of the public mind
Political hacks will be sent 10 Coventry. and the
country will take new position, under en-
lightened public sentiment, which will not be
seriously distmhed for 4 quarter OF century
This will be just retributon upon the miserable
tricksters who have shown themselves unable to
legislate for the people.
