R0" We publish, to-day, the proceed
ings of the Opposition Convention, at
Nashville, but have no time for extended
comment. 1t was large body of intel
ligcnt, patriotic and enthusiastic men
animated by a common feeling of devotion
to the country, and inspired by well
grounded hope that their efforts to over
turn the present corrupt dynasty, will be
crowHed with success: John Netherland
was nominated for the oAice of Governor,
without dissenting voice, land with an
enthusiastic outburst of applause The
Convention was addressed by the Hon.
John Bell, Gov. Foote, of Mississippi
Hon. Jere Clemens, and others.

pSr- Some Of The Iocofoco papers -and
the Qmd Name, in particulsy--are giving
Andy johnson fits, for his attack upon
Conventions; and the rebellion Of Currin,
in the Memphis District, is treated as one
Of the fruits Of said attack. Now we can
not believe that Currin-if decent man
was Influenced, in the slightest degree,
by Andy Johnson's opinion of the cor
ruption of locofoco Conventions, any
more than are the locofoco candidates in
Virginia, and elsewhere, who have shown
their contempt for locofoco nominating
caucuses. Andy was big man, SO long
as he mixed with the fag ends, and poison
ed their minds with the dirty emenations
Of his own envious, malicious, and un-
principled heart; but when raised above
his proper level, his power ceased with the
display Of his intrinsic worthlessness, and
he is the object of contempt with the
leaders Of his party, rather than model
for imitation. 1t is not his influence, but
the disorganized condition of his corrupt
party, that is fomenting rebellion against
the corrupt agency by which demagogues
are elevated to power. Here is what the
Quid Nunc says:
"Plainly, the recent disorganizing
speech of Hon. Andrew johnson, in the
United States Senate, is bringing forth
fruit of a most pernicious character, and
it behooves all who have the welfare of
the Democratic Party seriously at heart,
to look to it that those Apples of Sodom'
be at once and forever excluded from the
tents and tables of the faithful Who is
Andrew johnson, and who is d. NJ. Cur
rim, that they should thus rashly risk the
downfall of the "true faith2" What high
and mighty autocrat is the one, and what
huge disciple is the other, that they
should, with wave of the arm or a stroke
of the pen, annihilate the convention
system-that oldest, most sacred, most
indispensable Of all the usages of the
Party2
If the doctrine of Dictator johnson, as
enunciated in the Senate, begets such
| 'ncTcsy duu EtDelnOu az we now witness
in this Congressional District, is it not
time that he, too, was declared a eds
orgabizer2" We observe that our "ultra
radical friends, the editors Of the Mem
phis Aralanche, while earnestly con.
demning the openly designating conduct
of Mr.. Currin," still have no word Of
denunciation for that far greater and more
dangerous rebel, Senator johnson. How
and why is this ? Is the mighty 'plebian,
the naughty tailor of East Tennessee, toe
'big' an Indian for the Avalanche to take
by the throat? And is Mr.. Currin SC
insignificant a partisan that he can BE-
easily spared, readily denounced, aud re-
morselessly trodden under footP
4 For one, we stick to the old common
law, and deny the Aralanche's right tc
punish, or even try, the accomptice, unit
it has first convicted and HUNG the
: principal"

pg- The locofoco Convention, at Nash
vile, resolved in favor of constitutional
currency, but regretted that circumstances
forbid their legislating to that end. Do
the same circumstances bear upon the
Subtreasury shin plasters, and. Post Office
certificates with which the federal govern
ment proposes to pay its debts, whilst it
makes its debtors pay it, exclusively in
gold and silver? 1t is a gross insult to
the people of Tennessee to talk to them
about the unconstitutionality of paper
money, when locofoco Administration is
issuing it, redeemable by an empty Treas,
ury.

paS- The Massachusetts, Legislature is
taking steps TO make the execution Of the
fugitive slave law, illegal II is . thing
to be regretted, that States, an well as in
dividuals, led astray by passion and preju-
dice, should thus throw obstacles in the
way of the harmonious workings of con-
stitutional laws; but democracy-the poll
teal Pandora's box, sent to curse the Ma
tion-has dictated, to Massachusetts,, null
LITIGATION MS the rightful remedy. That
party South, has, for years past, delighted,
in its Conventions, to proclaim the resolu
tons of $500 as the true theory of States
rights, and to glorify them as the embodi-
ment of democracy. One Of those resolu-
tons expressly declares that each State is
its own judge of the constitutionality of
any act of Congress, and fails to recognize
the Supreme Court as a coordinate branch
of our government, expressly designed to
settle all questions arising under the Con-
stitution. Taking this resolution, then,
as the true theory of States rights
southern democracy has no right to COM
plain if every free State sould nullify the
fugitive slave law, and repudiate the bred
Scott decision. The resolutions of 1898
expressly confer the right to do the first,
and sanction the last, by the silent con-
tempt with which they ignore the authori-
ty--even the existence-of the Supreme
Court And all this vantage ground
against slavery, is the free gift of southern
democracy to their allies in the North
and upon the same unprincipled party is
chargeable every concession to the fanatic
ism that is endangering tho Union.

p@- We are indebted to Senator Doug
lass for copy of his speech in reply to
Brown, of Mississippi. 1t is an elongated
and ampliied edition, carefully prepared
after The debate, and displays much in
genuity in defining his squatter sovereign
u position. He denies that there is any
such doctrine in the Nebraska K ansas bill,
and denies the right of territorial Legis-
lature to pass laws excluding slavery; but
should slavery get there, the squatters can
abolish it-not by law, but by no law, they
can refuse to protect it, and thus let it
perish-Congress having no right to in
terfere. This isn't squatter-sovreignty
Oh, no, and Douglass proves it by Sam
Smith, of Tennessee. But Sam. is not
the only southern democrat he calls to the
stand to prove the correctness of his posi-
ton. He calls up Toombs, Lumpin,
Stephens and Dawson, of Georgia; Hunter,
Mason, Caskie, Kidwell, and Faulkner, of
Virginia; Badger and Clingman, of N.
Carolina; Butler, of S. Carolina; Benja-
min, of Louisiana; Talbot and Elliott, OF
Kentucky, and others,-all southern de-
mocrats who coincide with him in the
opinion, that the question of slavery, in
the Territories, aught to be settled by the
people thereof, in their territorial capacity.
Yet, in the face of these facts, the opposi-
ton, of the South, is charged with Black
Republicanism, and for no other reason
than that it resists the patty which sur
renders to the North, all the rights Of
southerners, as slave holders, in the ter.
ritories of the United States.
