Ir D,neson of Tennessee moved that the vote be re-

he President decided the motion out Of order, rs the
lie which the mover was ueeBitc suSu l"
! ratre ;,
IT. Cla of Alabama, moved an adjournment sine die
,ch was carried when the President pronvGced the Con-

he resolutions far from being as extreme in their
craeter had looked for from body similarly con-
sited. The movement for Southern Congress or oon-
v.on to ARREST farther aggression and to "provide Tor
tfuure safety and independence" of tho South may DC
nc necessary by the continued ianatcs Of the N'rt
Rt. ar
ii at Nashville however, South Carolina will be bound
scanno now, with any propricy, cherish the cch oil rais
inhe banner Of secession SOLITARY and alone until SHIT
hgiyen her sister States full time consider s policy
will be observed that of the "aggrcssions" denounced
in resolutions the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Texas received
,ho,es of nearly two-thirds of members from slave
hong States and has been overwhelmingly endorsed by
Tes herae-and "he organization Of territorial govern
ms for Utah and New Mexico, without giving adequate
prc,ion to the property of the South" passed by h'
vo OF all the Southern Senator'S including Messrs Mason
andunter and Of nearly every Southern Representative
wcegrel that, on the last point the Convention thus re
fled on the votes of nearly the whole Southern delegation
anade the unfortunate admission, that the South needed
anythcr protection TO her property, than the broad ae
of Constitution which, IN regard 10 the territories sh
has w in full force.
Alto the other points In tho resolutions, they have on
sancn-bu we doubt whether the action Of the Conyen
ton nder the circumstances will have much Influence OF
the sith. We are not singular in this opinon-ior the
Vicknrg Sentinel Of the mos thorough re-catcrs eV
en- ne "Co,ton States, bears the same testimony Tha
paper dukes the late message of Gov Collier Of Alabama
in reflug TO extra session of the Legislature
s,igmases mis- a,eTng course" which lnay prevent Ala
bana fa taking the proud position her people desire IL
the le.ffor resistance:" and adds:
The Nashville Convention" informally and irregularly
orcanizd a. II L. he know elect nothing, and "
mus; og the States for action each separately or o.
