letter on the subject from his colleague. Governor Aaron

While Governor Brown adheres to the action OF the
Nashville Convention, glad 10 see that he went
no that body with temperate feelings and that his mind
Ehas not been mised by sectional excitement His re-
marks touching the Committee OF Thirteen and ,he
series of proposed by that committee are pc

appreciates s labors, and does not sympslhze with the
wholesale denunciaon and the and unoandcd
CRITICISMS which the Adjustment met at the hands OF
majority of the Nashville Convention.

From the Nashville Union. July L.
Letter Governor A. ". Brown
This document fila columns to-day 1t is very
well-wrten review OF a part OF the action OF the com
mtee resolutions in the Southern Convention II is
great pity that the South cannot heartily unite
line Of policy. Nothing eke cave her rights We
beheyc from recent scenes in Congress, that the danger
to rights and institutions is imminent. This danger,
we repeat, be ayeried only by southern union The
North will not attack the united South. But she sees
divided, and dreams that she exact her own terms
She is mistaken in her calculations We have recently
become satisfied that there is point beyond which
the wg politicians will not submit and that that point
is rapidly being reached. The wing sound
adjourns without settling the slavery question, we be-
lieve there will be but one party in this State until
southern rights arc vmdlcaed
