FROM rHE TUSCALOOSA (ALABAaA) MONITOR.
We firmly believe that the sentiment deeply engraved
upon the American heart an abiding love, untateng
devotion for our glorious Union No efforts of politicians
and panic makers have brought the people contemplate
the dissolution Of the Union with other feelings than those
OF adherence and dsnay.
This feeling gathering strength daily, or correctly
speaking recent have called forth open display
OF its power. "TheUnon is in danger cry that has
startled every patriot and caused him. like the Iaete of old,
turn anxiousy towards the Ark OF his Saetyhe
sanctuary Of his hopes.
There is 40 name potent leader revered to be
able stand for moment in opposition TO this all powerful
sentiment of the American people. This is fully verified BY
the indignant response which, here in the outraged
South has been drawn forth by the declaration lately at
butei to Mr.. Calhoun, that the dissolution Of the Union
is fnertta6R and Is DESIRABLE We venture to assert
that this not truly express the feelings the wishes OF
in enhousand Of the people of the South In the dire
ful alternative Of dsunion dshonor, the South will not
hesitate choose the first but do not believe there is
man out of South Carolina and but few in it, who desire
that alternative presented.

The NASHVILLE CONFERENCE.-The remarks Of the
Huntsville Advocate upon the arrogant assumption of
by the Legislative excellent and will meet
with the appreciation of every sensible reader. "a
Every demonstration tending concentrate the power OF
the South, in constitutional resistance to grievances inflicted
by the North, cordially approves and hence we have
cpaed that much good might result from the NASHVILLE Con-
Rnf he is taStUa The
main subject for discussion that body will be plans for dis
unon and this conviction is founded upon the Character of
the who ognators of it and those who lave been
appointed delegates to it. The persons who ought to
pose such Convention should be men free from wha is call
ed uaism, OF discretion and sound patriotism and they
should BE- selected By the people. Now, ask readers
if this Convention will be composed of these kind men,
and have they had voice in their appointment Wethnk
if they judge the whole by part if they by analogy
if they judge from those who have been appointed from this
section of the State, they will say, These gentlemen
eminent and worthy citizens but according knowledge
as to soma and information as to others, they may vel be
suspected Of " ultraism At all events, the people hive
had hand in their appointment and if such mighty
event dsunion is to ranspre ii should be done by he
peoples representatives.

There is complete revolution going in the relative po-

People commanded and the Representatives obeyed but
