Shall the Action of the Convention be
Submitted TO tAe People!

From the tenor of our remarks, on the passage Of
the Convention bill by the Legislature, some have
concluded that we opposed to the submission of
its action to the people.
In that article we expressed the opinion that the
Legislature had power to restrict the action Of
the Convention, and that the Convention Is not
bound by any Legislative restriction. In that
opinion we are sustained by the ablest lawyers In
deed, we think there can be no doubt of the cor
rectness of the position But the principle, here
commended for, does not affect the erpediency Of sub
hitting the action of the Convention to the people
In such eKpedency we fully concurred, and
do now fully concur, unless, at the
time of such action there should be a war
raging in our midst-a contingency by no
means improbable. In that event it might be the
part Of wisdom, prudence and safety that the &C
lion of the Convention should be defuitive, prompt
and decided. No patriotic man would, in that
event, desire such submission, if indeed it Uere
practicable.
Under other circumstances, however, especially
if the sentiment Of the people should prove, by the
ensuing election TO be at ell doubtful it is due to
the people that they should have an opportunity Of
speaking their voice, at the ballot box, in an I'M
mistakable manner. This submission however,
does not affect the right of the Legislature TO re-
strict the action of Convention of the people
which is Superior to all Legislatures.

Alarm of the submissIonists.

The fear lest the events transpiring, and
others only as yet partially discovered, shall satisfy
the minds OF honest Southern rights Union men that
the day for compromise has passed. and that we
have no safety but in Union with Southern States,
has suggested to the minds CT the issonists the
necessity if possible Of defeating the convention al
together.
We commend their sagacity, though we cannot
say so much for that sort of patriotism which
would stife the public voice because it is feared
that vsiee may speak after the thousand and one
falschoods no% ahoat shall shall have been dissi-
pated.
The trick will not succeed. The convention will
meet, and as soon as the North shall foil to show
unmlstaka6le signs of repentance, Tennesse SIDE By
side with the Old Dominion, will take her place in
the independent Southern Confederacy.

Ignorance or Knavery, which is it

The stranger who should at the present time
make up an opinion as to moral and intellectual
character from passing comments as to the present
crisis, would assuredly give our community very
humble position if he were to judge from these
comments
Is it ignorance, total disregard of truth that
gives currency TO the charge that we fear the estab
lishment of monarchy instead Of Southern Con.
federacy should Tennessee join her sister States of
the South rather than the abolition States?
Is it ignorance, or knavery that says Tennessee
has no interest in the Territorial question!
Is it ignorance or knavery that suggests a doubt
IS to the constitutional rights of the South in the
territories or to the policy of the early Fathers
as to the ultimate extinction of slavery?
Is it ignorance, or knaveryssthat expresses grave
fears as to the enormous load of direct taxation
that Tennessee would have to bear in a Southern
Confederacy?
Is it ignorance, or knavery that professes to be
warmly devoted to Southern rights and Southern
interests and wages an unceasing and relentless
war upon the South:
Is it ignorance or knavery thatprefers to subject
Southern rights and Southern interests to Northern
domination rather than Southern rule.
Is it ignorance, or knavery that makes men prefer
Northern to a Southern alliance while processing
to love the South?
Is it ignorance or knavery that makes men profess
one thing and do another, to love one section and
constantly abuse that section, that processes great
resentment the outragas that have been perpetra
ted the South and yet hug to their bosoms the
men who have perpetrated these outrages.
Is it ignorance or knavery that puts afoat the
thousand falsehoods that are uttered against the
South?
We know not to which of the two such sentiments
may be ascribed. We are inclined to exercise the
highest charity towards the errors of men. We can
well see how they may be honestly entertained even
in the face of repeated REGULATIONS, when there is
tolerable evidence to make them plausible.
But we cannot see how men, having
sympathies with their native section, cred
1t the mOnstrous absUrdities that have their origin
mostly in Black Republican journals, in the face of
daily contradiction of such absurdities, before their
own eyes; while they cherish constant, habitual
and generous confidence in the hostile faction that is
pledged to eternal hatred of Southern Institutions
1t is one of the enigmas in life which VIC confess
ourselves unable to unraveL.

Join with is b th formation Of Government upon
the basis Of the Constitution of the United States,
and the Tennessee resolutions.
Resolrsd Tkst we most cordially endorse the
from the speech delivered in the Senate Of the
United States, BY the Hon. John Bell in the year
1856:
.sThe question is not whether the States shall
continue unie3 according to the letter of the
nant by which, they are bound together. 1t is
whether they fLall continue to be practically and
efficiently co Operative in carrying out the great
ends of the sssssC1ation. The question is whether
mutual trust sT confidence shall continue to
animate and oIpatrage mutual efforts in promoting
and multiplying common benefits, or whether mu-
tual hatred and distrust shall step in to check all
progress; to Distract and confound gil Joint endeavors
for the common welfare in fine, to entail upon the
country all the eyilSof endless dIscord. That is the
question. Al q wb IN you present that issue to me
say give me sep ration, give me dsunion give me

"Inouirer" asks in the Patriot of Monday last, il
It is possible that twelve millions Of dollars worth
Of foreign goods are sold in Nashville, annually.
and calls for the date upon which the statement in
the article published in the UNIaY AND AMERICAN of
Sunday is based. II enquirer" had read the afti-
Gle referred to with any care he would not have
asked the question He is altogether in error in as
Stunning that 1t puts down the amount of foreign
goods upon which the Nashville trade pays uuties,
at twelve millions of dollars. The article state that
"the value Of goods. wares and merchandise DiGnl-
fccilreG out Of the State sold in Nashville during the
year ending September, 1850, was in round num-
bers twelve millions If dollars It woud be safe to
say that one haif Of these acre fDrejqn goods"
The data upon which this estimate is based, can
be found in the books of the City Recorder. The
corporation of Nashville collects from merchants,
tax of two mills OIL the dollar upon the cash value of
all the goods manufactured ont of the State and sold
in the city, excepting such not subject to tax
alton This tax for the year specified, amounted in
round numbers to $4,000. This would make the
total cash value Of such goods sold for tha year,
amount to ten mong c3 dollars.
ButlAanY articles OF merchandise are rot subject
TO this tax. For instance, books. which form quite
large item in the Nashville trade; and cQ-hes and
all materials of every description brought here By
tailors miliners tnners, carriage makers saderS,
and etheg Grtgans, 20 &c diter'sGrdS manufactured
into shane suitable for consumption, all exempt
from this oorpo1 alton tax. The articles thus ex-
empt together with those taxable but not given in,
were estimated at two millions of dollars, making
the total amount twelve millions of dollars.
One half of these or sin millions are assumed in
the article to be foreign goods, upon which duties
are paid in support Of the Federal G0yeqnneEt.

The Statt,a AZ Natnfa1ised Foreigners in a
~o-,.Re~1, f,oufederacY.

The status o. Natnfa1ized Foreigners an a
Southern Confederacy.
Cr- naturalized citizens have been invoked to
s,sto;n +ls ITrian. in every contingency, on the
,,,, they have taken an oath to support the
S,ors+;rt;on Of the United States, from which they
c,,,no+ ahsolve themselves. They are told that
e thev cast a vote in favor Of the separa-
+;o, If The state-in which they reside, from
the Federal Union they thereby perjure themselves.
+. ,,,ld he as reasonable to tell them that no cir.
c,mstancas of oppression change Of residence
corld absolve them from their allegiance to- the
Federal Government. The right of exile and of a
voluntary transfer of allegiance, as well as the
right to resist unconstitutional oppression, is
as well established by our Jurisprudence as
any right whatever, and the exercise of such right
can only be referred to the forum of individual con-
science.
In addition to this there is such relation strict
ly speaking, as citizen of the United States. A
naturalzed citizen must become a.resdent of a
State and by virtue of this he is citizen of the
United States. Whenever he has resided his pre-
scribed term in any State he is a citizen thereof
and owes his allegiance to the United States by vr-
tue of his citizenship in the State If the right Of
revolution of which we hear much, and which
all admit exists at ALL and pertains to the citizens Of
State in general it belongs perfectly to the nat
uraled foreigner as to the native citizen. 1t can
not be said with any show of reason, that a natu-
rallied citisen takes upon himself obligations of cti
zenship that arc more comprehensive or more binding
that the native citizen who was born on the soil.
The right of resistance to unconstitutional oppression
is natural right, and may be said to be universal
Ii gave birth to the maxim of JEFFERSON that re-
sistauce TO tyrants is obedience to God" So the
dutv of naturaized citizen is correlative with his
rights and if it the duty of the native citizen to
seek safety from tyranny by resisting it, so it is the
duty of the naturalized citizen to be governed by
the same rule and there is nothing In his oath of
allegiance, there can be nothing, to deprive him of
this naenabe, indefeasible, natural right, which is
above all laws and constitutions
The oath Of allegiance to the Government Of the
United States, including the duty to support the
Constitution, intended to place the naturalized
citizen on an equality with the native born-as to
his rights and duties-no more, no less. Higher
than this or any other political obligation is the
natural right and duty of each citizen to alter or
abolish Governments, wherever they become de-
st=uctive of the ends for which they we're created,
and to establish new Governments for their better
security and happiness This right is fully secured
to every citizen of tie United States in the Deca-
satisn of Independence, and to every Tennessean
in the Bill of Rights, and he cannot be deprived Of
it whether native or foreign born.
