fss. We commend to the attention Of all

10. We commend to the attention Of all
the opponents, enemies, prosecutors, and
slanderers Of the Nashville Convention,
past, present, and to come, Tin this city and
elsewhere, the testimony Of the Nashville
Union, to be found in this days paper. 1t
furnishes complete and satisfactory vindi-
cation Of the members of that Convention,
from charges and imputations rashly and
cruelty made against them. 1t also proves
most conclusively, that that Convention was
not ga failure" as its enemies allege, but
on the contrary, signally successful in the
men it convoked, the councils which guided
it, and the spirit which it has inspired, not
only in Tennessee, but throughout the entire
South. 1t shows how easily conflicting
interests and opinions can be made to yield
to the common safety, and laying down a
platform, broad and strong enough to support
all true-hearted Southerners OF whatever po-
litical creed, loving their own rights and liber-
ties more than Party.
The Resolutions are thus endorsed by the
Nashville Union. In the same spirit will
the united South respond.
Below We give the resolutions adopted by the
Southern Convention in connected form. They
have heretofore been published separately. On
this platform we take our stand. On this rock we
place our political fortunes; "and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it,"
The Kentucky Statesman, also, publish
cd at Lexington, thus adds its testimonial
to the conduct and proceedings of its men,
bers. After this proof, we trust that this
stale SANDER will be repeated no more.
We give to-day the proceedings of the last day
OF the Southern Convention, as reported by Tele-
graph. 1t seems that the Convention adopted an
address and resolutions, -several members dis
senting ,-recommendng the extension of the
Missouri Compromise line through the Territories
II will also be seen that the Convention adjourned
to meet again on the sixth Monday after the adj
journment of Congress. Thus ends, for the pre-
sent, the great Southern Convention, which has
been, for some months past, the theme of so much
talk and debate, and about which SO much has
been written and predicted. 1t was body OF
men distinguished for talents and responsibility,
and so far from manfesting that disposition to dis
solve the Union which has been attributed to it,
it evinced commendable zeal forts preservation.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady--EngTaved BY
D'Avignon.

EDITED By AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens Who have become
ustrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument TO the great mon OF the Re-
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed 10 be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been long established TO need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes ara in tire
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under hisim
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cutcd as carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be ON
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
Of those men only admitted hose talents
and public services have for them honorab BILE
fame throughout the nation Each Of the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon
uinent to the great men Of the Republic whose
and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend Of glorious Union, viii respond 10 our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable an
that its publication may make an era in
the progress OF American Art, and by grouping the
illnstrious Of the Union together Consolidate Il
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain IN Europe would place
beyond the reach OF most Of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation. bv

Free Soil, Free Speech, and Free Fights

Free Soil, Free Speech, and Free Fights.
:" The largest liberty" not only of speech,
but Of conduct, seems, at the present mo-
ment to have taken possession Of some Of our
Free-Soil advocates, and free-fghts" seem
to have been superadded as an articleof their
creed.
Even the +" land Of steady habits" feels
the new impulse of these levelling doctrines
Of Socialism; and initiating the example Of
New York, substitutes the knock-down ar
gument, for the more peaceful weapons Of
discussion. This was bad enough in poleim-
cal meetings, but when It extends TO polNi-
cal disputes, and parsons are compelled
"To prove their doctrine orthodox,
By apostolic blows and knocks"

Row IN CHuRsH.-At Saint Lukes Episcopal
Church, in Chelsea, near Boston, on Sunday last,
the
'Pulpit drum ecclesiastic
Was beat with fists instead Of stick"
and most scandalous scene took place, new, we
imagine, TO that law-abiding locality, and not
usual within the precincts Of the Church any
where. Ii seems that division in the church,
as TO the right Of two parties 10 occupy it, has for
some time prevailed, but that il had been com
promised by all agreement that neither party
should occupy il until both should consent. One
of the parties, however, obtained possession Of it,
and layman proceeded TO read the service.
The rector presented himself and claimed his
rights. A strong party Of persons supported
each side, and a fight would have ensued had not
the rector and his friends withdrawn. They took
their seat and the services were performed by the
usurping party In the afternoon the rector, on
entering the church TO perform the evening service,
was assaied; several violent blows were given
him, and his robes were torn of his back. The
sheriff interfered aud ordered the building to be
closed.

there were thousands of persons present to bid
them welcome and the air was rent with Wild

Marshal, assisted by number OF aids, and in the
line was the Howard Fire Company OF Baltimore,
with the Independent Grays Band and their
splendid Suction Engine, and the Mohawk Fire

Flogglng on board the ST. Lawrence.


To the Editor Of The Tribune:
In perusing The Tribune of yesterday, my at
tention was attracted by an article headed Flog-
ging in the Navy-The St. Lawrence signed by
Henry Nathan Schoolmaster and some tive sea
men. The aim and object of this article appears
to be mainly to iniure the character and reputa-
ton of Captain Hiram Paulding-a most honora-
ble high-minded and praiseworthy officer, and one
lenient to a fault almost granting the men under
his command indulgences which are not allowed
in other ships. Such is the character of Captain
paulding But what is the character OF Henry
Nathan, the Schoolmaster He admits the lenlent
and correct manner in which he was treated, and
saws that it was the result OF his abstinence from
lidGor a common source OF difficulty on board
ships. Now. Sir, | being officer in the Navy,
and on board that ship, would state that IN the
month OF January last, while she was lying IN
mort at Mahon Island of MiROrca, this man was
detected doing worse than drinking liquor he
was caught smuggling it to give TO others, charS-
ing an eXorbitant price for 1t, thereby robDlng az
we'll as making them drunk Two skins OF liquor
were found upon his person. for which INSIDE
meauor lie was arraigned, tied up and logged at
the ship s gangway
Sir, Mr. Henry Nathan is one Of those shrewd
and specious sort OF characters who, under cover
OF ;n oily tongue and an apparent open and tar
exterior, deceive the officers deludc the men, and
do an incalculable amount OF mischief to both
preaching to the men in relation to their rights,
rendering them dissatisfied and restless, causing
them to say much that is wrong, and then retail
inc it to the officers These characters are com.
mon on board ship. and from an experience of
thirtv-eight wears in the service, have never
seen worse man than Henry y athan, better
or more indulgent officer and proper man than
Captain Hiram Paulding. SAAL. q CRY
