THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION
NASHVILLE, May 8. 1850.

Dear Str. The Southern Convention
has met & the eprophets ofevil anlongs
us-the cravens that have been croak.
ing SO loud and so long about the Hart.
| AiottH Con Nantinn and dShnllification- the
natural allies of the North" as they
may with truth be called-will, after
all, be disappointed of the failure they
foretold, and fortelling, endeavored to
create. Nine States are already re-
presented here, and delegates from the
tenth (Florida) are known to be en- route
for this place.
A most august and imposing assem-
blage it is, bringing to mind the pictures
drawn by Livy ofthe appearance of the
assembled Senate of ancient Rome
Here is the venerable Cheves bending
under the weight of years but with a
mind still beaming with the efuIgence
Of monday Hammond, from the same
State, polished, well read, epigramatic,
and always to the point. Then there
are Tucker and Gordon from Virginia.
Worthless of note and mark from Geor.
gia and Alabama; and indeed, illustri.
Gus and distinguished names from every
State that is represented. The people
seem to have been especially careful 20
send their aged and honorable charac.
ters from private life-men who have
graced, in the time, the highest posi-
tons, but now repose in their dignity OF
retirement, men who have put off the
politician and put on the citizen. and
who breath an entire devotion to coun-
try worthy the days Of PublicoIa or
Cato.
i'll had time TO take totl thf0uh the
galaxy of patriots, yc1 would recog-
nize among them, our own Chief JUS
tice, who already receives here, and
merits the highest consideration and re-
spect. He will probably be the Presi-
dent of the Convention, who is to be
nominated in an hour, by a committee
consisting Of two from each State
There will be flo violence either Of
council OF language in the Nashville
Convention. This | venture confden>
TALLY to predict, from the appearance
an | bearing of the delegates. Indeed
the country IS not prepared for meas
ure Of extremity and we knoao Il. The
South is like child, basking in the Sun,
on the slope of volcano, and rather
amused than terrified at the muttering
thunders beneath. When she awakes
from her sleep, it will be with an ex>
.plosion which will shake this continent.
No hing short Of the out-pourfng of the
lava can convince her that he is ia dan
ger; and when alas she attempts to
escape from it. fear it will have been
too long deferred, ard that the effort
will be abUrtive and vain.

The people Of California have. without
Authority from Congress. organized a gov.
ernment, formed a constitution, and enacted
laws; they have prohibited slavery, and the
prohibition applies to the country south OF
30 degrees 80 minutes; and the question
now IS of that different character which we
were told by the late President would have
required from him d different action from
that of the Oregon bill.
l have elsewhere explained, when it was
questioned, the understanding / had of the
RESIDENTS motive for signing that Oregon
bill, though never approved Of the decisios@
l honored the motive, as it was stated to
me, by-which h6 was pponipted, and nave
endeavored to save his administration from,
the obliquy" which its enemies have sought
to attach to the act.
Readily admitting the more thorough ac.
quaintance with the views and opinions of
the late President which Mr.. Walker pos
sesses, it only remains to me to hope that
upon reconsideration, he will abandon the
supposition that MIR. Polk would have sign.
ed such bill as this we now have Under
consideration If am wrong iii the belief
that he would have maintained against any
and all influences the spirit of the Missouri
compromise, then have beeh WRONG in the
only defence have ever found in any de-
gree acceptable to the democracy of Missis-
sippi, when l have opposed the censure
which many bestowed upon his sanction of
the Oregon territorial bill. 1t was not my
to discuss the merits of Mr.. Clay's
bill: that may have to do in my place as
a Senator. Here wish only to reply to an
appeal so made, as to put me in false po-
,ition, and made by one against whose au-
,hority it is to me disagreeable to be op-
posed. Very truly, your friend,
