grossly insulting all the other delegates. Looking
at the noise in this light, the Convention at once
adjourned sine die Some Of the most prominent
citizens Of Nashville, sorry to say, participated
IN this noise. They are rery honorable gentlemen,
and are no doubt familiar i0ith the rules of good
breeding. @
Such is brief, unvarnished statement of "the
closing scene" The confusion and noise was
made by the spectators. The conduct Of all the
delegates from other States, and of most Of them
from Tennessee, was perfectly orderly and digni-
fled; and the =" row. spoken Of by some Of our
city papers, ought to be, and we believe, soon will
be, regarded by all good citizens as deeply dis
graceful to Nashville ,cas uery nlortifging 10 the
Tennessee delegation, by many IF ,ohom zoe haze been
requested 10 publicly stale, thai they disapprope of the
course pursued, Which icas the immediate occasion Of
the disturbance.
There were some things said in the Convention
which we do not approve, and there are doctrines
advanced in the preamble and resolutions adopted,
from which many of the people of Tennessee dis
sent. We are not referring to these matters Of
difference. We shall necessarily do so hereafter
Our present purpose is to vindicate the action Of
the Convention from unjust aspersions, and to re-
lieve the "closing scenes" from the mass of mis-
representations withwhich they have been covered

nSTWhen we hear politicians who have fed

d, e-Ey-The remarkable coincidence displayed in
the course of the compromisers and the Adolf
tionists in abusing the Nashville Convention
cannot fail to strike the most careless observer,
Such abuse is the highest compliment that
could be paid to that patriotic body. The
Albany Atlas, one of the Van Buren, organs
in the Empire State, is as periodically indignant
on the subject as the organs in this city. Ore
(who was not told otherwise) might imagine
that this extract was clipped from the Intslli-
g2,,cer, the Republic or the Union:
Who ARE They ?-The telegraph has an
nounced the assemblage of the Nashville Con-
vention and its adjournment. The press gives
us some of the details, but there appears to be
general silence in regard to the persons com
prisinc the Convention. No names are men,
toned The Nashville Convention has BECOME
an abstraction Notification has begun its
work of demolition by a kind of self-annihila-
ton of its leaders This will constitute n new
er, in. politics. Instead of sacrificing himself
for party tire sclf-abnegation of public man
will consist in denying his name to the news
papcrs. Resolutions will be conducted anony-
mousy, and parties be responsible only by the
name of the joint stock association under which
they gather.
But if free from danger, these heroes of the
new school are lost to fane.~ The individual
Majors A. and Colonies B., so far from surviving
in the memories Of the future, will be lost in
outer darkness, and buried under the general
appcllation of Gnashvilains.

The SOUTHERN PLATFoRM-The Ancient

The Ancient city further says
1--WE hold it to be the duty of our legislature
at its ensuing session to declare in an emphatic
manner the determination of the people of this
State to resist, in connection with the rest of
the Southern States, further aggressions, and
to distinctly specify what will be considered such
aggressioGs. Let US no longer deal in gener-
