The Queen of the Season.

We had the pleasure Saturday of attending
the rehearsal of this beautiful operetta, which
is to be produced at the Adelphi Theatre TO-
morrow night, by the pupils Of the Nashville
Musical Academy, under the auspices of Mr..
@. HISS. We feel quite confident, from the
proficiency exhibited, that the performance
will be very creditable one in all respects
Exhibitions of this character, properly appre-
cisted and encouraged, must have a happy ef-
feet 10 srousiog the ambition of pupils, aud
prompting them to diligence and assidnity in
their efforts to attain to the highest points OF
excellence in their studies. Regarded 10 this
aspect, they are public good, and should be
frequently resorted to. We trust our citizens
will turn out in large masses to encourage this,
and all subsequent exhibitions Of the Academy.

DEAR MARiUs: You remember that at the Ami

the Freedom of our Platform, in his own case ;
and challenged us to be on hand at the Radical
Abolition Convention" at Ravenna, on the 18th,
"where" Ito use his own words) Free discussion
means something !" SO, last Wednesday, | was
there; and presented the Resolutions below, (ac-
compauyng them with remarks, mot for the
action of the Convention, but simply express

Position. did not that they were any more
Free than we are as was once or twice called to

declared that had been out of order from the

any com plaint as there not much time; and
friend Pryne seemed disposed more than any OF
the others, that rs much opportunity should be
given for the discussion, as possible. Neyerthe
less, even under the circumstances there was not
nearly so much opportunity. as we gave and it is
IN absolute mis-stateDe ent, that We abridged the
Freedom of our Platform at all.
Surely honest men differ in opinion. or no man
II feel,) could read these Resolutions, without
being concerted and joining with us IN the ralyng
cry-"Nu Union with Slaveholders" Down with
the Union !" JOSEPH TREAT.

tary he is not born into the Government but only
under it, he is born into society, but not into

born into community living in a certain place, and
not at all into any voluntary association which the
people composing that community, may have or

can live forever its soil, and under its jursdlc-
ton, and yet he no part OF it--be Only its coerced

Matt nal Constitution, is not at all essential, II

it is of no consequence Whatever to the argument
whether the Constitution is Pro-Slavery, or Anti
Sdvery-though it would be tho same infinite sin
TO helong to the Union, even if the Constitution
were pure, as the stars arc brght--hough it is
very Truth of truth, that, whether Slavery finds
cuuutenauce and support in the Constitution, or
not, it yet does find them in the uniun--the Union

States nor ndviuvals, without also being the
consequence Of that very act bona tide SlaretOid.

States IS ProSavery: Slavery is in the very words
of the Constitution, and can never be rubbed out ::
if not in so many words, (hut that is nothing, yet
it is in absolutely the words it is in the'threehiths'
clause in words that possibly can not mean
any thing else it is the 'rendtion-clause,' in the
very letters and syllables Of the Fugitive Slave
Bill: it is necessarily included, and by the nation
was intended to be included in the provisions
guaranteeing the suppression of instructions" "
and protection against domestic violence" and
above all, the whole internal system with all its
horrid villanies, and even its numherless and al
most uninterrupted aggressions and usurpatons,
is wrapped up in the fatal article, which gives up
the Constitutun-and with 1t of course, the en-
tire slavery which that Constitution involves-into
the hands of the Supreme Court; and which then
authoratively provides, that the Interpretation of
the Constitution settled by the dec sions of thar

NORTHERN FEELING IN THE SOUTH.

As IN evidence that there is Northern feeling
existing in the hot bed of the South. we will
mention circumstance that occurred some few
weeks since ut Columbia, the capital OF South Car
ulina. An influential and wealthy citizen of the
place engaged in erecting large edihce, upon
which he had employed both white and slave labor.
While the work was progressing he one day fools
ishly and unmeaningly expressed himself in favor
of the negro mechanics the whites. The re.
marks he made use of soon became known among
the white mechanics of the Northern States, when
such were in his employ Immediately left him to
She enjoyment of his slave labor exclusively.
meeting of the Northern mechanics called,
which was attended by some two or three hundred
who became much excited and incensed at the
expressions which the Southern gentleman in ques-
ton had INDUCED in, that they manufa tured an
eigy intended to represent him, and after parad-
ing it through the streets for time, gave it Q
covering of pitch and set fire to it, Some of the
authorities attempted to interfere, telling the me-
chauics that such proceedings were unlawful but
precedent was cited-that of the burning of the
efigy of Senator Sumner in the same place-which
was allowed to pass unnotlced by the officers of
the law, which argument proved sufficient to pres
vent any arrests being made
