The nashville Convention.

This convention has at last adjourned. 1t
adopted the address, which denounces the re-
port of the Committee of Thirteen in Con-
gress. In the event of the passage of the
Compromise bill, the Delegates spoke very
freely of dissolution of the Union-they
would then in convention recommend dis
solution of the Union! There was as much
rank treason sweltenng in the Nashville
convention as ever dared be exhibited at
the Hartford Convention. No one doubts
but that in this body were Delegates who
went there with the honest intention of rec
onciling differences and quoting the danger
GUS feeling of disunion. But there were 9TH
ers not merely secret traitors secretly plot
ting treason, but openly and warmly advoca-
ting disunion, and doing all in their power to
fan the fame Of civil strife. That such men
do not represent the people of any section of
the South, but portion of South Carolina:
we are convinced, and we now predict that
their action and treason will be condemned
by the press of every State in the Union
The South will never sustain the addresses
and resolutions adopted by this convenrion.--
There is nothing Of compromise in them,
but little justice shown to the North, and a
great deal about disunion. Its language is
harsh, and its spirit anything but conciato-
ry. 1t must meet the condemnation ofNorth
and South. The address upholds the ex-
tending of the Missouri compromise line to
the Pacific.
The Convention adjourned to meet again
at Nashville, six weeks after the adjournment
of Congress.

A Miserable Traitor.

The following extract is taken from the
proceedings of the Nashville Convention:
Gen. Gordon, of Virginia, from the Com
mittee on Business. reported sundry amend
ments to the southern address, and recon-
mended their passage.
Mr.. McRen, of Mississippi, offered several
additional amendments, changing the force
ofthe whole address, and softening its whole
amendments. which were opposed by Gen.
Pillow, of Virginia. and Mr.. Colquitt, OF
Georgia. The latter gentleman said, he
was opposed to softening that document-it
was not strong enough for him-he would
instead Of recommending the Southern people
to submit to any further advice, have every
southern State to go to luork, erecting fur
ndces, moulding cannon and shot, and pre-
pairing to maintain their rightS-he arouLd
tell the North. If argument qraS exhausted,
ne a0iU stand by oar arms.
This scoundrel has murder in his heart,
as deeply there, as if he were plunging dag
ger in the heart of a friend for plumber or re-
venge. The St. Lonis Union, a Southern
paper, asks what the North has done to call
forth the indignant cannons of the South p
Nothing-absolutely nothing. But, because
the North is opposed to the increase of ne
groes, the pious Mr.. Colquitte-he was
formerly a Preacher-resolves to make us
submit to the procreaton of Philippians by the
force of cannon and shot
That man would sell his country for a mess
OF potash. He is as rascaIly traitor as was
Arnold. In his heart he is planning a civil
war, and if his desires could be carried out,
the country would be drenched with blood,
the blood Of the innocent, of old and young,
and of Americans on both sides-and all to
settle question of which his ideas appear to
be as indistinct indefinite and prejudiced, as
mortaPs can be. As the Union says, this
gasconading will do well enough on paper.
but woe betide the scoundrel who would dare
seriously to make such proposition to the
people.

The Effects of The Tariff of ,4o.

The iron interests of Northern New FORK,
as those of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Vir
.ginia, are suffering alike the ruinous effects
Of our present tariff system.
The Clinton Wing, published in the great
iron region in the upper part of the State of
New York, states that, of forty-one forge
fires on the Saranac river, in 1848, twenty
one had been put out previous to the first of
January last, and since that time, fourteen
of the remaining twenty have also been ex-
tinguished, leaving but six of the forty in ope-
ration.
By this necessary suspension of business"
says the Wing, "more than five hundred men
have been thrown out of work. and over two
thousand women and children, dependent
upon them for bread, are deprived of the COM
forts which they have heretofore enjoyed |!
in addition TO those, eight of the eighteen
fires on the Salmon river, have been put
out, and others will follow. So on the Au-
sable. OF the fifty-four there, probably
not dozen will be kept up through the sum
mer."
At these three points alone, over 1900
men, heretofore earning from 81 to So per
day, will be thrown out of work ); and the
$500 a day, which they have been earning,
will go practically into the pockets of the iron
workers of Great Britain"
The same is the case with other branches
of American industry.
