THE NASHVILLE UNION.
The Uulon Of the 18th Of Dec. says:

The Uuion of the 26sh Of Dec. says:
"Bstwsen Northern Notification aud
Southern Secession our sympathies are
with the latter"
"But we condemnth the rashness precipitan-
CIV which have hurried them to the the brink
Of disunion and threatened the whole South
with the horrors of civil war" BY the
SecessioEiSt is meant the Southern Rights
men; we will not quarre about names, but
we say, from such sympathlssrs, "goOd
Lord deliver US"
The sympathiser goes on to say:
1--WE blame the secessionists (alias South
ern Rights men) not that they sought to
adopt their remedy without cause, but
because they were for adopting it before
they exhausted every constitutional mode of
averting the impending evils and of pre-
serving tile Union. and because they sought
to adopt their remedy against the known
wishes ola large majority of the southern
people"
Will theUnion be kind enough to point out
some" constitutional mode of averting the
impunding evils and of preserving the I'm
ion, which the Southern men have over
looked? The loss of California e0GS one Of
the impending evils;& we have been gross
ly in the dark iflevery constitutional mode
Of averting it,was not adopted, except those
now proposed by those the Union terms
Secessionist. AgaiC, was not the dismem-
berment of Texas one of the impending
evils. So the abolition, of the Slave trade
in the District of Columbia? These were
some of the "impending evils which we
were anxious To avert, and if the Union
knew of any constitutional mode of doing
it which had not been exhausted, it was
criminal not have made it known, The
assertion that the remedy now proposed to
wit, Southern Congress, is against the
known wishes of large majority of the
Southern People," is without foundation,
It is yet to be tried; and If the ques-
ton is fairly put, and is thoroughly canvas
sed before the people they will sustain it.
This precious document goes on to say:
ave blamed them especially because they
sought to make the compromise measures
OF Congress the grounds of their secession
movements, when every consideration OF
prudence, policy and patriotism demanded
that these measures should be fairly tried
and honestly acquiesced in"
1: prudence, policy, and patriotism
consist in permitting the abolitionist tC
: plumber US ofoEr property to set aside al
law and morally, to deride and insult US
then we are to blame for wishing to resist
for not honestly acquiescing' in compro
}, mise which Mr.Clay, its author says"take
- everything from us.
, There is another equally valid reason
gwen by this kind sympathiser, why h
" blames ms:
- ave blame them moreover because the,
. adopted the doctrine of "peaceable seces
II sion" as furnishing remedy within tn
q constitutional rights of the States wheI
e that doctriue is necessarily revolutionary i
T" its character and can only be properly re
J. sorted to when oppression is no longer Ell
~ durable"
q Because we prefer "peacable to va
v like Secession" we are to be blamed Hi
re argument takes a strange sort of circl
10 We are first blamed for being on the poir
'e of inflic:ing upon the south all the "horro
aF of civil war;" and next for desiring to
y ''psaceable"! The sympathy Of one VIII
al reasons thus ably, ought to be highly price
