POLITICAL MEETING AT NASHVILLE


FROM THE NASHVILLE TRUE WING or MAY Il.
Meeting Of Satarday-Keep the Record Correct
The American of Sunday morning promises full
account of the proceedings of the Wing meeting
held in this city on Saturday, and says:
The meeting positively refused to approve the late
conduct of Gentry and Williams in the Washington
Altogether, it was an entire triumph Of the Jones' alias
Scott, clique The Wings of Tennessee may consider
themselves fully sod have already predicted they
would be-"
There is justification whatever in the proceedings
the meeting for the leading idea embodied in this para
graph-the triumph of Scott over Fillmore. We have
never seen manifested in any public assembage in Ten
nessee ardent and cordial determination to stand
by President FILLMORE the end and adhere the Com
promise umatum in the Wing National Convention
The official proceedings Of the meeting which publish
ed yesterday give fiat contradiction to any other conclu
sion The resolutions then and there aniousy adopt
ed declare in view Of recent Washington city
&c., and referring to Mr. Flmore's peculiar fitness for
the office Of Chief Magistrate, that cannot therefore,
divine single sufficient why he should be set aside
to make way for any the United States as the Wing
candidate at the ensuing election" that we viii not
support the nominees Of the Wing National Convention
except they shall be publicly and unequivocaly pledged
to regard the Compromise measures final adjustment
and maintain them inviolate."
1t is clear them that the Wings of Tennessee are not
sold" except it be to their first love-" the fnay of
the Compromise the basis Of their admiration for Mr.
Fillmore. No Wing in the meeting expressed preference
for Gen. Scott Mr.. Fillmore-a were earnest and
in their expressions of admiration and pre-
ference for him all others the unanimous resolve Of
the meeting that they would support who did
not eooupy publicly the position with Mr.. Fillmore
upon this question. III
1t might be inferred from the remark Of the American
hat the meeting implicitly expressed dissatisfaction with
he conduct Of Messrs. Gentry and Williams. Not SO.
Happily their resolution this point is record to
'peak for itself Here it is:
Resolre That satisfied of the devotion the nay
the Compromise Of the entire Wing delegation in Congress
Tennessee forbear all expression of opinion upon
heir recent variance of Judgment the temporary question
arising in the Wing Congressional Caucus, Jeering that all
acuaed by eerad sentiments Of public duty and that
true interest Southern is to preserve all force

NIFTY among the friends Of the Compromise"
This resolution adopted in lieu of one expressly en-
lorsng the Of the seeding MEMBERS Messrs Gen
ry and Williams in the Wing Congressional Caucus Of
he goth of April and passing by, without reference to
approval of the Of Jones and Cullom who did
ecede This the majority deemed liable to be construed
INTO an implied censure of the latter gentleman. Such
ensure the meeting unwilling to pronounce upon
either party and thus present least the sembance ofa
ivson at home (which does not really EXIST upon the
main question involved-the proprey Of maintaining the
Compromise utimdtum in the Hhig National Conuen-
The real ISSUE indeed between the advocates Of the
original resolution and the friends of the amendment in
leu, not whether Gentry and Williams Jones and
Julom had done wrong but whether with the informa
ion before under existing circumstances should
Undertake to say The meeting decided by very
arge majority that they would pronounce judgment
pon that question at this time and under existing cir

utipdtng harmony at home and FRIENDS
COMPROMISE" The resolutions, thus amended,
passed unanimously amidst much good feeling after FIVE
of ncessant and earnest but friendly and courteous
discussion.
There was no I" triumph of any "cque" in the pro-
eedings of that meeting Those who there assem-
lied stand together man upon the wellknown and
-reterated position Of the whole Wing party in Ten
essee-the fnality of the COMPROMISE and for Fillmore

has shown himself alike wise and firm, pru

That highly respectable meeting, embody
ng very large proportion of the intelligence and moral
influence of Davidson county, and representing it Is fair

No wonder such emphatic unanimity of action, under
the circumstances Of the tme dsconcerts political
opponents They hoped for dissension in ranks, but
hey have been sadly disappointed. We eommiserate
hem upon result so barren of " aid and comfort to
hem. But we have consolation to offer them in the
uture except the sound drubbing in November which
his spirit of unanmity betokens We advise them be-
lines to look to their aures. The Wings Of Davidson
county, ga portion Of the Wings Of Tennessee have vim
Heated their determination to stand together upon the
Compromise platform all the time, and to the end what
ever temporary differences may arise between favorite
at Washington. And it is plainly
md apparent every day that certain
