curious il we had time TO examine some OF tie
evil effects attributed 10 these holidays, and the
arguments economical and statistical which the
deputies edduced in favor Of their abolition. Yet
strange TO say, such Is the attachment to estab-
hshed useges, that this part oil the law vas OPP
posed BY larger number than any other
The most appIauded speechinth the whole debate
was TINT of the Count CavOur Editor Of the
Ri,oretmenIo and lately appointed Minister OF
Commerce and Agriculture, II the room OF the
deceased minister Santa Rosa. The functions OF
the Minister of Marine have on this occasion been
separated from those Of War and added to those
of Commerce and Agriculture Count Cayours

tendencies is of nature to alarm and irritatc

revenues of the ArChbshopric OF Turin have been
seduestered A bill for the more equal distribution

no more than France and other countries have
done before, III rejecting coucordats, or passing
laws which necessitated new arrangements with
the Roman See. And though Piedmont is weak
politically, and especially enteebed at present
by struggles and sarhces beyond her strength,
we have that reliance on her sense and spirit that
she will come victorious out OF this contest with
the outrecuidaace Of the Court OF Rome.
The Nashville Convention Closlng Scenes.
AS q part OF the history OF the times we pub.
fish from the NdshUlHe Banner, the last day pro
ceedings of the Southern Convention. The Ten.
nessee delegation, it will be seen, dissented from
the Report and Resolutions finally adopted:
NASHVILLE Tuesday Nov. 10.
Mr.. Gordon, OF Va gave his opinion that 1t
would be best to recommit the report OF the Com
roittee before the Convention, when he hoped they
would be able to present series that would meet
the appreciation of the entire Convention. ms
was agreed to, and the Committee withdrew
The Convention then took recess OF halt an
hour. g.
At the expiration of that time, the Chairman Of
the Committee said he had been instructed by the
Committee, unanimously, to report the preamble
as before reported, with the exception OF single
verbal correction striking out all the resolutions
and substituting the following:
We, the Delegates from portion OF the States
of this contederacy, make this exposition Of the
causes which have brought US together and of
the rights which the State we represent are enti
tied to under the compact of the Union.
We have among us two races marked by such
distinctions of color and physical and moral quail
ties as forever forbid their living together ON terms
of social and political equality.
The black race have been slaves from the ear
hest settlement OF our country, and our relations
Of master and slave have grown up from that
time A change in those relations must end in
CONFUSION and the entire ruin OF one or both
races,
When the Constitution was adopted this rela-
ton of master and slave, as it exists was ex-
pressly recognized and guarded in that instru-
ment. 1t was great and vital interest, involving
our very existence as separate people then as
well as now.
The States of this Confederacy acceded to that
- -
States
If the non slayeholding States, who are parties
to that compact, disregard its provisions and en-
danger our peace and existence by united and de-
liberate action, we have right as States, there
being no common arbiter to secede.
The object Of those who are urging on the Fed
era Government in its aggressive policy upon our
institutions, is, beyond all doubt, to overthrow
Them and to abolish the existing relation between
master and slave We feel authorized to assert
this from their own declarations, and from the
history Of events in this country for the last few
years.
TO abolish slavery or the slave trade in the Dis
trict of Columba-to regulate the sale and trans.
fer of slaves between the States to exclude slave
holders with their property from the territories to
admit California under the circumstances, we hold
TO be all parts of the same system OF measures,
and subordinate to the end they have IN view,
which is openly ayowed to be the overthrow Of
the institution.
We make no aggressive move. We stand up
on the defensive. We invoke the spirit of the
Constitution and claim its guarantees Our rights,
our independence, the peace and existence OF our
families depend upon the issue.
The federal Government has within few years
acquired by treaty and by triumphant war, yass
snd the arms Of ALL and the benefits and rights
belong alike and equally to all the States so The ne
federal Government is but the common agent OF
the States united and represents their 9onJ9 3
