For the Nashville Patriot.
Nashville and her Future, Considered in
relation To her supply of heap Fuel.
1t is a difficult problem to solve and never
has been satisfactorily settled, which is the
more essential to the success and growth of a
city-oheap bread or cheap coal shall not
discuss that now, but supposing both to be
important, it is enough TO remark that this city
is better favored in her agricultural resources,
than any city in the southwest, and have
every reason to believe, that to-day, our prog
ress in scientific agriculture, has just began its
rapid march. Our Fairs, State and County,
for the past two years, have had happy eff.
feet and their results will tell with a pleasing
certainty in the future; and instead of the
abundant yield Of produce of the past season,
forming the exception to the general supply,
it will find the tables turned in few years.
We now ship wheat and -four northward in
stead of buying abroad, which remember to
have seen few years since; SAMUEL d. MOE
GAN, Esq, few years ago bought wheat in
St Louis, freighted it here and hauled it to
Lebanon, there ground it into Flour, and sold
it in this market And remember that cakes
were considered by our thrifty housewives by
far better because the -four of which they
were made, came from Oincinnati-now how
ever, the quotations for Tennessee -four are A
shade higher there than the country brands
Thus in point of provisions we are amply sup
piled aud The greater zoe make that demand,
the greater ViH be the supply.
Now give US cheap coal, and you give us the
means TO increase that demand for breadstuffs;
we have too much labor now employed in
agricultural pursuits, and to get cheap coal.
you divert many from that pursuit and give
those who must necessarily follow il greater
encouragement. Cheap coal gives large de-
mand for labor and bread-the supply of the
latter is increased, and that increase only ena.
bles the producer TO sell the more; while CON-
petition keeps the price 70 a lining and health
f1l standard.
Give Nashville cheap coal and every man
that turns grindstone BY hand, or q turning
lathe, will put up steam engine, and the en-
CINE builder viii increase his bnildlng, and can
employ more hands, build more engines and
sell them cheaper, because he can sell more !;
Theron master turns out more metal, puts up
a new rolling mil, pays wages to an additional
number Of laborers and as these must eat, the
hotels and boarding houses enlarge their tables,

American Meeting.

At large and respectable meeting Of the Amer
csn party, held in Carthage on the oath inst, the
following resolutions we're unanimously adopted
Resolved That in the estimation Of this primary
assembly, there is an alarming crisis at hand in our
common and beloved country that heresies which
have no prototype in the annals of sacred or pro-
fame history, are stalking with gigantic tread over
the land, and like the poisoned tree of Java, drop-
ping the dews of death on all who slumber in its
specious shade that it becomes all patriots, states
men and the people generally, to arouse to bold
and vigorous action to preserve our civil and reli-
gous freedom from the grasp Of remorseess factions
and the ambitious schemes Of the Papal Hierarchy;
that we will adhere to and defend with ardOr and
perseverance, the principles and policy of the Amer
lean party, through sunshine as well as storm,
through evil well good report through adverse
well as prosperous fortune, undaunted by Bill
nsgate invective the naughty dctation Of power;
choosing to adopt the motto, 'mlions for defense,
and nothing for tribute and that the intolerable
grievances under which groan, owe their origin
mainly to the insidious wies of foreign influence
Resolved That the course Of our American dele
gatOn In the lower Dranch OF the National Leglsa-
ture in their nfexibe adherence to Hon H. VI.
Fuller their selection for Speaker OF that body,
meets cordial and hearty appreciation, and hope
and believe that they will continue with that firm
ness which knows not what it is to yield.
Resolved That we tender our kind consideration
to our contemporary of the Louisville Journal for
his able, determined and patriotic defense of the
American party, and sincerely congratulate him
upon the unrvalled, rapidly increasing circulation
of his peerless Journal especially in this portion of
the country. 1t is the sense Of this meeting that
he deserves to be President of these United States
but that he holds much higher and more respons-
IDLE position, and we cannot spare his services.
Resolved That our fellow-citizen, Joseph G.
Pickett be and is hereby appointed delegate to
represent this Congressional district in the National
Convention at Philadelphia, on the 22d Feb. PROF.,
and that Hon. VIM. Culom and Sterling Ward be
requested to act as alternates.
Resolved That the proceedings of this meeting
be furnished the Louisville journal, Nashville Pa
triOt, Banner and Gazette, and Sparta Times, for
publication.

~ The Washington Union. in reponse

80 The Washington Union, in reponse to
the National Latelligeneer, says:
We think we can safely assure the editor of
the Intelligencer that no such question as the
suspension ofdipl0matic intercourse 1oitb Great
Britain has been before the Cabinet Our
relations with that Government are certainly
delicate, and perhaps critical, but the proposed
withdrawal Of our Minister is not among the
evidences going to indicate the decacy Of those
relations. While We desire by this correction
to avoid any unfounded apprehensions of an
impending difficulty with Great Britain. we
cannot deny that there are serious questions Of
difference bet,ceeH the tScO Government, which
ought 10 be thoughtfully considered by those
members of Cong ress who are obstructiDg
the organization Of the House.
The closing reference 10 Members Of Con-
gress is characteristic. If the Administration
would exert its influence 10 effect the organi-
cation of the House, we doubt not a Speaker
could be elected Immediately; but the desire
to gain party advantage is stronger than the
ADMINISTRATOR patriotism.

Hon John Gayle:
NEIL S. PROWN.

Hon. John Gayle
DEAR SIRyT have your letter the 10Th inst,
but my official duties have been so pressing
that have been compelledto neglect my pri
vate correspondents. ! had also determined to
write no letters for publication bearing upon
the contest in the approaching canvass. But
as you desire some information for your own
satisfaction in regard 20 the charges brought
against me from the South, on the slave ques-
ton, have concluded to state briefly my posi-
ton.
While was 10 Congress. there was much
agitation on the right of petition.-My votes
will doubtless be found recorded uniformly in
favor of it. The rule upon which acted was
that ever citizen presenting a respectfully
petition to the body that by the constitution
had the power to grant or refuse the prayer OF
it, was entitled 10 be hcard; aud therefore the
petition ought to be received and considered 4.
IL right and reasonable, the prayer Of IL should
be granted, but If wrongor unreasonable II
should be denied, | think all my votes wheth'
er on receptions Of petitions or the considera'
tons Of resolutions, will be found consistent
W it'll this rule. a.
have none Of my congressional documents
here, they being at my former residence IN
Buffalo, nor have sccess to any papers or
memoranda to refresh my recollection; but
think at some while in Congress took ocea-
sion to state in substance my views on the sub
iect Of slavery in the Stntss--Wbether the re-
marks were reported OF rot am unable to say
but the substance was, that regarded slavery
as an evil bat one with' which the pstlonal
government had nothing to do. That by the
constitution Of the United State0, the whole
4 power over that question was vested in the
| several States whera the institution was to-
lerated. If they regarded II as a blessing they
had constitutional right TO enjoy il, aud i
they regarded it az an evil they had the power
and knsw best how to apply the remedy.
did not conceive that Congress had power oYeI
| it. or was in any way responsible tor it's con
j tinuance in the several ststeB where it existed
/ / have entertained no other sentiments on thiI
subject, since examined II sufficiently TO form
an opinion, doubt not that all my acts, public
snd private viii be found 70 accordance viii
I this view.
! have the honor To be.
