Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1860-12-15

proposed C00Voedf101 or Congress OF dele
gates from all the States to be held in the
Hall OF Independence. He cautioned The
people against violence unless we have a
civil devastating war. We have all to lose
BY Disunion. 1t is important that the public
sentiment be changed, that We no longer
consider each other from the North or from
the South. He referred to the speech Of Mr..
Stephens, of Georgia, whose name was re-
ceived with hearty cheers; his kind sentiments
We most heartily recIprocate aud echo back
to the people OF Georgia and the South. We
must repeal those hostile acts passed by
eleven States, Interfering with Souihernerl
in recovering their property. lApplause.l
We mnst show our good feeling by aching and
not by words alone. and show the South that
we will do nothing 10 interfere wiz n
rights. but everything TO protect them. sfbat
we are their brothers, friends, and fellow
citizens. 1t is folly to suppose that this
country can be divided-it must be a union
in peace or a union in war.
Judge Woodward, of the Supreme Court,
said We must consider calmly the position of
the South. and ask whether they may not be
justified in their apprehensions The plat
form of the party which has just succeeded
in electing its candidate to the Presidency is
undoubtedly considered hostile to the insti-
tutiOns of the South.
Charles T. Lex city solicitor, said he had
no doubt that the action of this meeting
would be highly endorsed by majority of
those who cast their votes for the Presdent
elect. He spoke as a Northern man On
Northern soil. In doing so they would not
abandon principle. The vote of Pennsyl-
vania was not influenced by the slavery
question. The main issues which the recent
contest decided in this State Was the protec-
tive policy; any danger to the South would
be repealed by hosts of young men lately
conspicuous in the political clubs of the sue
cessful party. Let the fugitive slave law be
implicitly obryed. We may prefer that it
should be slightly modified, but as it i, it is
the law of the land and let US submit to the
decisions of the Supreme Court. He ouIy
spoke the sentiments of the Governor elect.
Faint cheers for Curtin.1 He read tele
graphic despatch from the Governor of Mary
land to Mayor Henry denying the report
that he intended to convene the Legislature
of that State. Mayor Henry read despatch
from a meeting of the Philadelpbians now
holding at the Fifth Avenue Hotel OF New
York approving the action of their native
city.
Theodore Cuyler, President of the select
council. spoke earnestly and patriolcally on
the question of the day. This was no hour
for elimination and recrimination. Forget
ting all party ties or questions of expediency
we must unite aHd keep step to the music OF
the Union.
