Appalling from Nashville.

A gas-msker at Washington. who claims
to be deep in the counsels of the Nashville
Conventionists, writes to The Herald that
al have the most oogent reasons Cor believing and
apprebendpg that the passage OF the bill OF tne
Committee OF Thirteen, now under debate in the
! Senate without radical changes respecting the
admission Of California, will insure the secession
of NOT less than four States within the current year,
| which would necessarily and for the most obvious
reasons render a total disruption OF the Union In

lie goes on to state that the nine States
represented at Nashville were unanimous IN
favor of the Slave line Of 36' 3O/ 10 the
Pacific as the ultimatum Of the South, and
that
"Mr Claws Compromise measures were all in
the hands Of the members and freely and iu'y can
vstsed and though no direct vote was taken upon
them, they were unanimously dlsapProVed ana re-
| pudlsted."
1t seems that ex-Gov. Aaron V. Brown
and Gen. Gideon j. Pillow united in giving
a Grand dinner to the Nashville Convention,
where the two hosts gave the following SEN
timents, amid deafening plaudits:
Gov. BRowN: The Nashrtle Coarention-but

lie goes on in this amazing fashion:

secession from the Union was freely canvassed 10

member Of the ConyentioD,) assures me that he
never heard the right once denied or doubted; and
that from all he heard and witnessed, he did not

Convention that the adoption Of MIR. Clays Com

and speedily bring about dissolution OF the

Finally, after promising that the South

Admission of California as she is, or any
measure Of the sort, he sums up as follows:

T. II that bill fails, nothing will be done, and the
wisest thing that Congress can do, will be to pass

the People of the United States return TO the
Capitol with fresh instructions-and as they shall
speak, decide.
Now it is idle to resubmit these grave
! questions to the whole People, because the
| Disunionists W0l.t abide the decision. They
know perfectly well that three-fourths Of the
legal voters of the Union are in favor Of ad-
hitting California, and that no Congress can
be elected that will run the Missouri Com
promise line to the Pacific. They might
just as soon raise the question of selling
Louisiana back to France, or any other
moral impOssibility. What these Nashvil-
hans want is Agitation now with view to
DisuniOn hereafter. They mean nothing
short of that. Let them get ready and
try it,
