corve0t,on or No Convention.

The Importance of Convention in Tennessee Is
shown by the fact that no amendments to the Oon-
stitution can be ratified by the delegates nresh
from the people," without its assembling. There
fore, whether Tennessee should determine to JON
the Southern Confederacy, or not, If she is deter
miaed to have her rights, Convention should be
called We are therefore surprised to see that anony-
Gus circulars are being circulated declaring there
is no necessity for Convention. Those who take
this position are in truth "submssionists I" to any
act of the Black Republicans.
We warn our friends against this submission
movement The men who are opposed to Con-
vention are willing to take Black Republicanism,
even without guarantees. Watch them, and beware
of their tricks
All of the candidates of both parties in this
county are in favor of the Convention, and uEg
ing il upon the people.

Lincoln AuthOrttativeIy nnounce d
against Guarantees, by the New York
TriDune-Read! Tennesseeans! Read
Unreasonable as it may seem, there are thousands
of people hanging their hopes upon expected de-
claratons of Mr. LINCOLN, to save the Union All
that Mr. LINCOLN has said, and all that he has done,
both before and since the election, and all that has
emanated from his party emphatically contradicts
such an opinion. Yet to make assurance doubly
sure, the New York Tribune of the 3Oth inst, con-
tains the following decided and authoritative expo
sition of Mr.. LINcoLNs position branding as false
all the that he is disposed to listen to COM
promise Read and circulate The Tribune says:
"The Express and Herald loudly declare that Mr.
LINCOLN had listened to the Compromises, and is
inclined to sacrifice the principles of the Chicago
platform. The same rurnor was yesterday repeat
ed by the reporter of Washington gossip for the
Associated Press We do mol hesitate to saytat these
statements are false and caiannionS. We have the
best authority for saying that DIR. NcOIN is oppo-
sed to ali concessions of the sort. We no,o that his
views are fully expressed in his own language as
follows:
Twill suffer death before will consent or advise
my friends to consent to any concession compro-
mise which looks like buying the privilege of taking
possession of the Government to which we have a
constitutional right; because, whatever l might
think OF the merit of the various propositions before
Congress, should regard any concession IN the face
of menace as the destruction Of the Government
ITSELF and consent on all hands that our system
shall be brought down to level with the existing
dsorganized state of affairs in Mexico. But this
thing will hereafter be- il is now the hands of
the people, and if they desire to call Convention to
remove any grievances complained of or to give
new guarantees for the permanence of vested
rights, it is not mine to oppose"
This is not only to be taken as Mr.. LINCoLN's de-
caration Of his own views, but it amply expresses
the conviction of every mistaken Republican as to
the duty of the hour. First inaugurate the new
Administration and determine the question of quss-
tons, whether we have a Government, or only a
Mexican anarchy; and when that problem is dispo-
sed Of it will be time enough to consider and settle
matters of inferior consequence"

TeIegraphic Error.

The following dispatch appeared in our city
papers on Sunday morning:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-HoUsE.-The bill to pro-
cure loan of twenty-five millions passed. II l0as
so amended that the money shall be applied only TO the
current expenses Of the GorerHnsTL
The dispatches to the Louisville papers stated
further IN relation the proceedings of the House
on the same bill, that: "HNDMAN OFFERED THE PRO
vIso THAT 10 PART OF THE LOAN SHOULD BE USED TO
MAINTAIN FORCES TO MAKE WAR on STATES WHICH MAY
sECEDE.
SHERMAN REFUSED AXF sUUH AMENDMENT" and 1.-The
BILL as originally reported, psssed-l24 against 46-
the oppositiot coming from the Democratic side.'
1t will be seen that there is very material DIFF
ference in the two dispatches asserting that the
bill was so amended that "the money shall be ap-
piled only to the current expenses of the Govern
ment and the other stating that SHERMAN refused
HDDNAH's amendment, and that the bill passed as
originally reported. Upon calling the attention of
Mr.. FISHER the accommodating operator at the Of
fee in this city, to this discrepancy the reports, he
ascertained of the Louisville operator that the mis-
take occurred in condensing the reports for the
Nashville papers. The statement IN the Louisville
papers is correct SHERMAN refused the amendment
of HNDNAN and the bill passed without requiring
the money to be applied only to the current ex-
penses.

The slave trade was thus kept open by the action
of the convention till the number of slaves reached
more than one-fourth of the present number. The
blacks stood then in the ratio of about to of the
white population. Our fOrefathers knew well to
what number the slave population would probably
increase by natural law we know what it will
probably be twenty years hence. The fact that they
left the slave trade open to the perpetual discretion
of Congress and the States furnishes the most con-
elusive proof that they intended to introduce and
sustain slavery rather than to extingush it.
