Democratic. State Convention.

The Nashville A merica an, in allud-
ing to the day her tofore spoken of
for the assembling Of the democratic
State Convention at Nashville, says:
'sIf the 10th Of March will suit the
democracy of East Tennessee better
than the 25th of February, we hope
that day will be fixed upon; for it is
very important that that section be
represented A
Agreed, says Oldf Lincoln; any
day will suit her; She will do her
duty on any part of the ground.
The following paragraph, taken
from the Knoxville PleHeian, on the
subject of our convention, is so full
of the right spirit and 50 congenial
with our sentiments upon this sub
ject We cannot refrain from copying
it:

DislsllioDists.

The Wing z ras Of Tennessee
have coated their Position on the
question by jumping astfide
Of the Georgia Resolutions; and at
the same. time, with all II impudence
imaginable, they attempt to bring
reproach upon our leaders and our
party for occupying less ultra ground.
We take bit that the resolutions Of
the Tenn lessee delegation in the adj
journed meeting of the Southern
Convention, are not more MULTIPLYING
than th@ Georgia resolutions. So
well satisfied are we Of this that we
press it upon the candid and IN
prejudicdd>of both parties, to insti-
tute cd mparison by reading those
resolutions, which we publish below

Ac lion Of our approaching State
Convention.

The Nashville Union in speaking
Of the probable| action Of the demo-
cratic State Convention, which is to
assemble in Nashville shortly, makes
use Of the following well timed re-
marks, which We trust, will prove
true to the letter. We are for the
Ipla tform adopted by our State Con-
vd ntion in 1919, every plank oft,
l-'4At all haearqs and to the. last ca
not excepted Upon it we
trfumphed with the veteran Trous-
dale, and upon it we can triumph
again. W E believe with that paper
that the country is indebted to the
decided sta nd taken BY, and final sue
cess Of, tn { Tennessee democracy in
/ that skilfu Ply contested and hard
Ifdught battle in 1S49, for the pres
Iefvatipn Of so much Of southern
rights as is 70 be found in the Com
promise Act passed by the last Con
gfess. Ha d the Tennessee democra-
Icy espoused the Submission policy
advocated BY the whig party in that
contest, we believe that Congress
would have attached the Wilmot Pro
,viso TO all territorial governments
organized by it at its last ses-
sion. Yes sir, it is Ito the Tennes-
see democracy belongs the glory Of
giving the death-blow'' to this iron
hearted, monster proposition, the
Wiimot Provisc. The Nashville
Union say 5:
SWe ca not undertake to antic-
ipate what they (the Convention,)
plU do, but we can with safety fore
tell what they mU not do-they nlzl
tahc no step 6ackma'ds-of this al
may be assured. The principles Of
democracy are living, active, pro
gressive principles. Tennessee dem
ocrats are neither fanatics, fire-eaters
nor hotspurs. We take our posi-
tons knowingly and understanding
Ily, and we take them to maintain
them. We stand alike unawed by
northern dictation and unaffected by
southern precipitancy. We know
our constitutional rights, and we
know how to assert and maintain
them. We love the Union of our
/ fathers, and we intend to preserve it.
In 1910, we resolved to resist the
/ Wilmot Proviso at all hazards and
Ito the last extremity, The danger
then was that. the north would insult,
degrade a nd rob us by the prohibit
ton by Congress of slavery in ter
Iritories, which constituted common
property. We said to the north,
that we would not submit to such
degradation, insult and robbery
The mort b believed US, and stopped
short in her career Of aggression
The immediate point Of danger now
/ is, that the north will not faithfully
enforce the late compromise-espe-
cially in regard to the recapture of
fugitive slaves. Our Convention will
will speak to the north on this sub
jet, and their language viii be that
Of oderation and firmness, but it
will be clear, explicit and pointed.
