COMMUNICATED,
"CaU ne this backing g0ur friends"

1t is somewhat amusing TO read the letters daily
| ing out in the newspapers from delegates elect who
decline representing their constituents in the Nashville
| Convention. A strong family likeness runs through
the whole of them, modified by traits peculiar to each
individual. They all full OF undated devotion to
the Southal bitterly opposed to the Compromise as
proposed by the committee OF thirteen, although some
are halt willing TO take it into proteStdnd0 for fear OF
doing worse-all ready Tor at least will be to take
their seats in the Convention achen the proper time
comes for holding it-but all agreed upon the i'm
portant point that the time is not get.
Why not? TIE reasons are assigned for this conclu-
sion. First, that concert and unanimty necessary
to make such Convention effective for any purpose
while it is plain that great majority OF the Southern
people opposed TO it, Secondly that the measures
in progress in Congress give reasonable ground of
hope, that the difficulties may be settled and the meet
ing OF the Convention should therefore be adjourned for
the present.
It is remarkable how slowly the truth will some
times work its way into mems minds, through the OBJ
strucons OF passion and prejudice. Six weeks ago,
those very arguments We're urged over and over again
in public meetings and IN the papers with at least as
much force and eloqpence they are now presented
with Six weeks ago they just as true as they are
now 1t Just as plain then as now, that the Nash
vile Convention could be nothing but small minority
meeting. 1t Just well known, that Northern
and Southern patriots in Congress using their best
efforts to settle the difficulties. But then the Conven-
tionsts were deaf adders or they heard the ar
ouments it was only them, as the words OF
timid poor spirited men, who loved the South too Ut
tie and feared the North too much. Even the decisive
votes of large major ties could not convince the enthu-
sastic Conventoniss: minority meetings were held and
minority delegates sent TO minority district Conventions.
And the action of the Nashville Convention was advo-
Gated, in order to spur the committees Of Songess'
But at last, gentlemen are convinced. AT the ele-
venth hour when all the prellmnaries have been ar
ranged when the delegates have been chosen and 1t
is absolutely necessary decide upon going to Nash
Vile or staying at home, the sober, second thought
has come over them and the calm voice OF reason has
prevailed We are glad Of it. Better late than never

FOR THE TIMES
Public Hall ON Union and Church Hills.

Public Hall on Union and Church Hills
MEssRs EDIToRs-A number of ladies and gentlemen,
residents of Church and Union Hills having determined
to solicit public and TO enable them to "Ha !"
suitable for holding meetings OF various kinds n must
ask your permission to say few words in behalf of the
object.
1t we'll known many of your readers that there
600 1000 residents on the these two hills of
whom are laboring men, in moderate circumstances;
and who from the great distance they would be COM
PEELED to walk to attend lecture artistic exhibition
instruction which all such things afford There are
also hundreds OF children in that neighborhood who
must either go TO the city to attend school or grow
up in ignorance and vice, simply because neither OF
the hills afford suitable room in which public
school might be established. The friends of Temper
ance, too, need place in which TO hold their meet
ngs; while the politicians, (and who is not one?)
have place in which they can organize and hold
their meetings. All these things taken into considera-
paratively small one, (only $1,000, to which the
friends of Temperance have already given 5000 their
portion0 and | would ask fthere is or woman
