The Nashville Convention.

THIS frieAHul boty, as our Photographic dis
patch of last evening stated, appears to have
''brokcn up in row" after all The Mississip-
! p; ana OHIO being foauI to roll OH towards the
Ocean just as thougI. the great Chm-hake of
| Scceders ana Nullfors at Nashville were not
III session, it is understood that the bravcst of
them got discouraged and rather - flew out at
the handle" Their Quatt.obum Report ana
Resolutions, declaring the Union of the States
no Union, any further than it might be coEye-
nient ard agreeable for 1.-THE South" so to re-
gard it, and setting forth that it is the right of
any State to 'seceie peacefully" for any cause
and at any time, were rather ratified, as will
be seen below. On the whole, the Nashville
Convention has, somehow or other, "fattcd out -
because If was begun for treason, and seems to
have ended in a strong ''odor' Of loyalty to the
Constitution and the Union!
We inv te the attention of our " Free Dcnoc-
racy" friends (f there are any of that rather OBJ
soete faction left to the grounds of complaint
set forth in the Report first spoken Of in our OK
tr cts bolow. They will notice that our ultra
brethren at the South look upon the other com
promise measures as being no compensation for
the blessings of the Fugitive Slave Law In
decd they seem to look upon themselves as, on
the whole, dreadlully abused! Slavery cxclu-
dcd from California, New Mexico and Utah -
Well it is little too bad We advise them to
make a fuss" about it.
Gen. Pillow, it will be observed, has strong
hopes that the +" highor.law" folks at the North
will ''dcsst." Desst from what; Nobody but
the Garrison, Abby Folsom and George Thomp-
son clique which is hardly strong enough at
the North to color water, has ever dreamed of
interfering with Slavery where it constitution
ally exists. There is nothing, therefore, to de-
sst" from, that we can perceive. However,
here is the end Of the Nashville Conyenuon:-
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. l6.-The IN mbers
having ass mbled, the business of the Conyen
ton was commenced at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Gordon, of Va, from thu Select Commit
tee, reported preamble and resolutions to the
following effect the preamble declares that
the individual States have residuary rights, ana
that the people of the several EtaieS are NOT as
one people, united for certain purposes. They
are all equal-each State has right to Judge
of an infringement upon it by the other States,
and has right to secede pcaccably. Any at
tempt to coerce the seeding States into the
measure of the majority, is gross assumption
of pc - er; and the South is recommended, in
case any one State should sccode to support
that State. All the anticipated evils, for the
consideration of which this Cunv cnuon has been
called, have been fully realized. The South
has been degraded by the ritual extension of
the Wilmot Proviso over california, and the ex-
clusion of Slavery from Utah ana New Mexico.
Not satisfied with california, Utah and New
Mexico. Congress has bought-undera threat of
bringing down the militia, If she refused to sell
territory from the State of Texas, for the
purpose Of making that also free Not only
his Congress has LEe"i.e ....oAS.ed w.;h
