Tho Address Of tho Nashville Convention.

The Address Of the Nashville Convention.
To the exclusion of much other matter, we
publish the entire address of the Nashville con
ventiou that our readers may read it, and judge
for themselves. We have no hope that it will
meet the views of every body. Our readers
will bear in mind that we have always pre-
dicted that no Southern platform would be
supported unanim0aSy-tha some men among
us could never be prevailed on to unite with
the South in any general modeOf resistance
they will eternally have ONE frivolous reason
to urge againss it, that it is not the proPet
time, or the proper mode, thatit claims too
much, or that it gives up too much. With
such men, there is always something in the
way just then, that p%recludes them from sup
porting the plan then proposed. Their hearty
cooperation we need never expect, and may
make up our minds to do without it-their OPP
position we may expect to meet and must meet
We shall not be so hypocrihca3 as 70 say that
all are equally sound and reliable on this ques-
tion-we wish it were 50, but we must withhold
the ex preston of entire confidence in all, SO
long as we witness the strenuous efforts Of the
whig journals to distract Southern counsels.
Upon them rests the responsibility of ouI
being at this time divided, to some extent, in
opinion on this vital question. But notWith-
standing all their efforts to SOW discussion in
our ranks, we still believe that a very large
majority Of the entire South will rally upon
the principles laid down by the Nashville con.
%vention. Most of these delectable Journalistic
will not, as a matter of course. Their princi.
piles, as heretofore expressed, will cause then
to oppose any plan for Southern union-they
may favor it for awhile in the outset, but they
are admirably fitted for framing excuses when.
ever they wish to fork Of. AT one time, they
were all in favor Of the late Nashville conyen
ton; but gradually, one by one, they al
changed their grounds and opposed it. A.
they seem to be made of tickle material, w
think it better for the South that they should
take their stand at once against the Nashville
platform, for if they give it a feeble support
now, three months hence they will have some
plausible pretext for abandoning it.
Upon this southern question we must MOI
rely upon men who come half way up to the
mark--they are either righL or acrong. Their
is no "ba!f way house of diplomatic rest
We must insist upon all our rights, or prepare
ourselvts to see them all, one by Que wrestet
from us by the strong arm of Northern Majo
rity. If we are prepared for this, let it be So
we will thave deserved that fate, as no people
areworthy Of freedom, who will not take tn,
proper steps to secure it.

Mr.. EDlToR:-
Sometime since | noticed in your
paper an extract from the Home Journal,
designed for the especial benefit Of the un
married ladies OF our section, who are "cn
the shady side OF twenty.Gye," and, conse-
quently, are positive and irreclaimable
& Old Maids" Various duties have hin
dered me from answering that article ere
this; but am impelled to take up my
pen, although quite unused TO writing for
the public, that justice may be done to
that class of our population, to which | do
not hesitate to say that belong. Yes, lam
ION the shady side of twenty-five" and
unmarried and yet | dare lay claim to
having 'read some," aud "~thought" a very
%"little," and really have speAt ONE of the
more than twenty FIVE years Of my life in
doing something Of more importance than
Cooking out of the parlor window" or
trying in any other way ito catch beauxs,"
who would not have been worth a biscuit
after they were caught.
As | lay claim to this much Of effort to
improve and fit myself for the dulIes of
life, ! also claim some few grains Of coms
mon sense for myself, and the class gen.
orally to which | belong. The article 10
which refer very plainly intimates that
we have but a very small share of it, 9TH
erwise we would be able TO see that sit is
our W fault" that we do not succeed in
our matrimonial speculations. Do you
think, Mr.. Editor, if a lady knew that her
success in getting a "beau' depended upon
the cultivation of her mental powers, that
she would neglect the means, especially
II she were as anxious 10 secure one as the
Home Journal would have US believe z
There are doubtless some who value in
tellectual possessions very lightly, and if
they constitute a large proportion Of our
class, we must find some other reason for
1t than deficiency of intellect, and il doubt
less can be found in the lack of mental
cultivation zoe find so prevalentin that very
class of beauxs, who are represented as
being so often disappointed in cuItivating
the acquaintance Of the ladies. How can
we be expected to make much effort to
~
gather mental treasures, if the gentlemen
are known to place no value on them, and
that they do not, we may safely infer from
their own actions, when we see them
spending days, weeks, months, and years
Of time, in a way that is Of no benefit to
themselves, or any other being in the wide
world, thus making themselves mere ciph-
ers in society. OF course, we do not ex-
pect gentlemen to engage in mechanical
labor, Qadies can do it, thank Heaven,
without degradation, but we do expect
them to do something besides lounge about
the streets, and around the doors Of stores
and hotels, smoking cigars, and retailing
all the scandal it is possible to scrape to-
gether, which, as far as my own observa-
tion extends, nine tenths of them decided.
ly prefer to any effort for their own men,
tai improvement. How much can a LADY
expect her intellectual possessions 10 Be

Sir: After the resolutions of the meet
ing, assembled in the court house on Mon
day last, (as published in the MadisOnian
Of the GOTH had been accepted, a member
Of that meeting, at my Request, offered the
following resolution /:
Resolved, That this meeting adjourn
until the first MONDAY in August, when all
the citizens Of the county, without dis
%linetion Of party, be invited 10 attend, who
are opposed 10 the Compromise bill and
the admission Of California into the Union.
The object Of the resolution is evident.
Il was to unite all the elements of oppo-
sition to the proceedings at Washington,
and merge, so far as this county al least is
concerned, all party names, until the ques-
ton is finally disposed of. The resolution
was laid on the table by a decisive vote.
Action on it was nevertheless a part Of the,
proceedings OF the meeting, and it should
in my opinion have been SO reported.
My desire to have my position under
stood causes me to trouble you with the
request that you will insen this note in the
columns Of your next paper, and oblige,
very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
FRANKLIN SMITH.

BELOW WE PUBLISH, at the request Of Mr.
Smith, a report Of an additional resolution, Of
fered by him to the meeting on Monday 18th
instant. The secretary in his report did not
deem il necessary to notice this resolution,
as it did not receive the sanction Of the meet
ing. AS Mr.. Smith desires that it should be
published as a part ofthe proceedings we have
complied with his request. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that the last resolution,
for a second meeting Of both parties, was not
offered until the previous resolutions, con-
d%emning the compromise and the course of
General Foote, had received the unanimous
sanction Of the meeting. There was no dissent
from the resolutions passed-the mover Of the
resolution published below, only desired that
at some future meeting bdth parties should I've
invited to act together in condemnation Of
the compromise. The reason why the meeting
did not approve the resolution published be-
low was this having already acted upon the
business for which they had been assembled,
they did not choose to weaken the force
Of it by entertaining any proposition, that
looked like postponement. For this reason
and none other did they refuse to entertain the
proposition, as was clearly shown by Mr.. Han
dy and Mr.. Calhoon.
Another meeting can be called at any other
time, for a union Of both parties upon this
question, and as the Nashville convention has
put forth its address, we would suggest that IA
meeting be called at some early day, for oul
people to ratily what they have done, or tc
disapprove it, if such should be the sentiments
of the county, though we have no fears tina
any respectable proportion of the good peopl'
Of Madison can be brought to take grount
against the address and resolutions of thu
Nashville convention. They will be approved
BY a large majority, and only opposed by q
Ewmen Of Northern alinitios, and strong con-
solidation tend enoies.
