In consequence of the increased cost
Of wages, paper, and other materials,
telegraphic reports, subsistence, &c,
the Proprietors Of the NAsHvIILLE
UNox have been compelled to advance
the price Of subscriptions, advertising,
&c. They have adopted a new sched-
ule, as appears above, and which will 90
into effect on Monday, Sept. 10Th, and
be scrupulously adhered to.
This step has been taken reluctantly,
but after mature deliberation; and not
until we were satisfied that it could no
longer be safely deferred We trust,
however, that it will not be long before
the country is relieved of the high pri-
ces which are draining TIE resources Of
business men, and we can return to
the old rates. We shall be most hap
py to return to them as soon as oircum-
stances will justify. In the meantime
we solicit the continued support Of the
friends and patrons of the UsIov.

by the loyal citizens in the several
counties. Let the ticket thus chosen
be submitted to the people, at such
times as the Governor may appoint, let
these delegates be good and true men
of undoubted loyalty. In this mode,
each delegate would not only represent
his county, but also the loyal men of
the State; it would in fact be the voice
of the people speaking in their sover-
eign capacity. ~
The convention could elect a Govern
or could change the organic law and
elect and FL every Office in the several
counties, or give the power to the Gov
eTnor, from Judge 10 Constable. They
would then retain the power, and the
control Of the State would be in the
hands of those who are the friends Of
law and justice; order would be brought
ont of anarchy. ThsCOnvention should
have the power delegated them until
peace is restored within the borders and
Jhe citizens manifested a returning
sense Of their obligations to the Gov
eminent, and if necessary 10 accom-
plish the ends proposed, they should
retain the power vested in them for
years. In the meanwhile the Conven-
ton could pass such laws and ordi-
nances as the exigencies OF the times
may require.
The time has come for action, if the
loyal men of the country intend to hold
and control the destinies of the State
If the right is surrendered and the
Government should pass into the hands
Of the Pro Slavery party, the loyal eiti-
zen will be ostracised and compelled to
leave-the penalties Of the slave code
enforced. It is a simple ana sublime
issue If the loyal men now act and
retain the power, they can control the
future destinies Of Tennessee, and their
homes win b. preserved to them and
their children for all time to come
If they fail to assert the right and en-
force il, their lands win pass into the |
hands Of strangers. Let then Con-
yention be called as soon as eircumstan-
ces viii permit Let US act as men who
fear not the consequences when they !
know and feel they are pursuing the
right GUIoS,

Letter from John Btlght.

John Bright has written letter TO
Horace Greeley, wholly unsolicited by
the latter, on our Presidential contest.
The following paragraphs embody the
substance Of the weighty testimony for
the right:
At this moment we turn our eyes
rather to the political than 70 military
struggle, and there is with us the same
difference Of opinion and Of sympathy
Rs regards your coming Presidential
election, that has been manifested in
connection with your contest In the
field. All those of my cOuntrymen who
have wished well 70 the rebellion. Who
have hoped for the break up Of your
Union, who have preferred % see g
Southern slave empire rather than
restored and Tree republic, A. far as 1
can observe, are nov in favor OF the
election Of General Mcclellan. Az
those who have deplored the calamities
which the leaders Of secession have
brought upon your country, who believe
that slavery weakens your power ADD
furnishes your good name throughout
the world, and who regard the restofa-
ton Of your Union az a thing 20 be de
sired and prayed for By all good men,
so far as i can judge, are heartily long
ing for the reelection OF Mr. Lincoln.

who has sought 70 do justice 70 your
cause since the war began, i nov bop

strange indeed II, in the'midst Of diih

A Constitutional Cnnrentlon.

Correspondence Nashy3l 9 lnloo-
The Importance of having a conyen
ton, of Delegates to be elected by the
people, and how they should be chosen.
The Union Convention lately Assem-
bled at Nashville requested the Hon.
Andrew Johnson, Governor--to call
convention of delegates, to be elected
by the loyal men Of the State, with s
view to change the organic law, &c
1t is obvious to every intelligent citi-
zen who wishes peace and order restor>
ed, and the restoration Of the State to
the Union, that some action should be
taken by the people in their sovereign
capacity.
By bill of rights adopted as g part
of the organic law all power is declsr-
ed to be inherent and vested in the
people, and as such they have the pow
er to alter or amend the Constitution
Of the State, if the amendment does
not conflict with the paramount law Of
the land, the constitution Of the United
States. The present condition Of the
people of the State, imperiously de-
mande some action should be taken by
the loyal citizens with view to change
the organic law and to take ali the
steps to restore the peopleof the State 70
the Union; we can have no quiet withia
our borders until the question Of slave
~ is settled and the laws relative there
to are annulled A restoration Of the
civil law, by opening the courts of the
country, will produce endless litigation
and much strife between neighbors, the
harmony of communities will be broken
up; slavery mas been prostratsd by the
rebellion, the institution has become
so demoralized that it Is against the in>
terest Of a large majority Of the people
to restore it, but unless some action is
taken to change the organic laws and
repeal the slave code, II must and viii
be perpetuated
WehaFe class of men who are loyal
but insist on slavery; they oppose any
action on the part Of the people to
change the constitution, the disloyaI
men Of the.State act with them; they
fear the action Of 3 convention, know
ing the State win then be restored 10
the Union They hope By some means
to procure the control OF the govern
ment Of the State, and b. 50 doing
they will be able torestore slavery, with
all the laws controlling II. That object
gained, no one viii be permitted to DIS
GUS the merits, ss the statutes relative
TO itaTe Of a highly penal character and
would be enforced They know il is I
question that viii not bear discussion;
hence, all speaking or writing on the
subject sre forbidden by theslaye code, (
lestit should tend to insurrection It
must esettled by the people, assembled |
in their sovereign capacity. II abol /
