M NASHVILLE CONVENTION

The Cmyrniigs was b meet yesterday Al
Nashville. and. from al the southern States
unless two, or perhaps three, there will be full
delegations
The causes which have effected this Con-
veuiion are Of a most momentous character to
the world. They arc hose which alone have
blasted hitherto all governments, and have
been the only danger feared for this meow
etousness and lis fruits among which stands
prominent the oppression OF the minority by a
majority which aspires to rule, for It's own
advantage, and untrammeled. After years oil
a persecution and oppression, made tenioid
more severe. that it was by those who. bound
TO us by ten thousand ties should have sup
ported. instead Of injured us-liter years OF
remonstrance. argument, entreaty, and yield
ing-lnt now upon a persecution and injuries
Of such increased severity, that the point oil
resistance or final submission has arrived-this
Convention has been called to take counsel for
our safety. It's being called was not the re-
suit Of hasty spirit for then it might perhaps
be supposed not to be of such importance, but
!, was forced upon US by circumstances, and
was taken with regret, tits the course pointed
out by wisdom as the only one to meet the end
proposed, and consequently, upon it oil de-
ponds. II is composed of the best and wisest
men of our land, and we have from this; much
reason to hope for a prudent and firm result.
It is called for the protection of right against
wrong-the correct minority against the wick.
Ell and erroneous majority, and trusting in a
wise and good Providence, We have from this
a certain ground Of hope.

TIL CoMPRO MISE.

We have given to-day, the Report of the
ccmmiitee Of Thirteen. For the accompany.
ing bills we have no room.
y commenting, last week, upon the provis.
MS proposed in this report concerning Califor-
ma and the territories, we showed that their
tenor was to form Territorial Governments in
such a way as u establish the principle upon
which the Wllmot proviso is founded, and to
make even our consenting to the admission of
California forthwith and with her present
boundaries, the consideration for even this in
sidious proceeding. We adverted also to the
provi sion in relation to fugitive slaves, and we
propose now to give some Of the objections to
this portion Of the report; to show that while ii
can hardly benefit the present in the slightest
degree. it will most certainly result to our ire.
meaiable disadvantage.
The bill provides that, upon the escape Of a
slave from any slave-holdng State, the owner
OF his agent shall 50 before SON court of re.
cord, ard prove before i, the escape, and that
the person is a slave or held u labor by the par.

the record OF these facts, which, i, is provided

is to proceed to the place to which the slave
has escaped, and upon presentation of il to any
officer thereto authorized by The United States
and the production of further evidence, if ne,
eessary, as to the identity of the person claim.
ed, the officer is to grant him a certificate
which is 10 authorize him 10 arrest and remove
the fugitive, The bill goes on further to pro
vide, thatif the fugitive shall declare to the Of
hcer that he is free, and not a slave, the mastei

Let us see if the free-soilers will grant
this plain Acknowledgement of right OH the
part of the South. If they do not, which is
a likely case, it will be only additional EVIL

to execute openly, and covertiy. We are
