TnE NASHVILLE CoNvENTIrN.-Th
Convention of Southern lIltraisls ad,
iourned on the 12lh inst, after adopting
the series of resolutions, an abstract of
which we have published. and an ac-
companying address, TO meet again six
weeks after the Adjournment of the pres
ent session of Congress. What is to be
done at the second meeting depends en-
tirey upon the action of Congress upon
the slavery question.
We have not yet seen the address,
and the resolutions do not appear very
formidable or warike. So iltle interest
was felt in the Convention by the people
of the South, that the delegates wisely
concluded not TO take any definite action.
A Union of the South, for the sake of
the Union" was voted down--lhe Con.
veution no doubt being of the opinion
that "union of the Wings. for the sake
Of the Union," was much better motto.
Some few of the delegates. especially
the ReU, Mr.. Colquit of Georgia, made
sume few blood and thunder" remarks;
but the general character of the speech.
es was decidedly of mild tone and par,
took but little of the ultra feeling which
first broached the project of Southern
Convention. Some of the Ultras in
Congress, during the first part of the SEES
sion. displayed more temper and less
good sense than any Of the delegates to
this Convention. The voice of the peo.
pie has peculiar charm for office.hcld'

language and controlling their opinions

by c. B. Goodrich, on the application for
writ Of error in the case Of Prof. Web.
ster, at Boston. as it came before full
bench ofthe Supreme Court, oil Tuesday,
in that city;
The points raised we're that the Su-
preme Court had no jurisdiction in the

that neither judgment nor sentence were

the statute, that no record Of the ordering
Of the case To the Supreme Court by the
Municipal Court appears; that legal ser
vice ofthe indictment does not appear tc
have been NADER that the sentence was moi
in accordance with the statute, in sayinq g
that said Webster should be taken from
the Jail from whence he came and thence
to the place ofexecution, which is in the
precincts of the Jail; that the Municipal
Court rot having performed the propeI
! primary proceedings in the case, The Su
premc Court had not yet acquired jnIis
diclionj that the Supreme Court had moi
vet been furnished with the records oI
the Municipal Courlin the case-the sim
pie endorsement of the clerk Of the Mn
nicipaI Court upon the indictment not bc
ing sufficient to give the Supreme Cour
Jurisdiction.
Professor Webster tells the Court that
he is not Influenced by desire ofdelay
ing the execution of judgment by thi'
movement, but by the advice of his coun
sci. that the errors presented are of sucl
grave importance that it was proper the!
should be brought before the Court.

by the Hunkers to manage the convention as to avoid
any expression Of AntSlavery opinions, but portion
oil the members demanded platform on which to stand

in the convention and strong resolutions were passed by
vote of about Is 40 demanding the application of
the Anti-Savery proyso the territories and approy
ing OF the course of Gov. Seward in the Senate of the
United States. There immense and prolonged
cheering, when this vote announced in the course
OF which the minority members withdrew from the
convention As order could be restored, Frank
Granger who was President of the convention, arose
and stated that he opposed the resolutions that
had been adopted and did not recognize the doctrines
idid down IN them as the principles ef the Wing Party,
and he should therefore retire from the chair and leave
the organization in the hands Of those who concurred
in the resolutions.
The Convention then went through with their bust
