The National Convention

1t should be borne in mind that dangers
threaten US on every hand Low, cunning
and deceitful partizanism has drawn, and
will continue to draw, around US every snare
that tends to entrap and Cypress Though
the serpent of Radicalism has lost its fangs,
still it coils its Shiny folds around the affairs
Of American freedom and prosperity. Light
is breaking the black cloud of tyranny is
partially rolled up and the genial rays Of
conservatism are awaking thousands upon
thousands, as it were, into life which has
been crushed out by armed tyrants and am
bilious fanatics. Once more the People have
opportunity to speak their thoughts and
counsel with one another. Once more they
are called upon to unite in one combined eff
fort Cor the purpose of establishing govern
ment Among conservative, State rights men,
all party barries should be broken down
for what avails it now if a man be Demo
srat or Whig2 Those parties came into
existence, served their purposes and fell; abo-
itionism has grown into negro equality and
party must spring up to meet the mon
strous heresy. That party should be the
National Union Party-a party standing
solely and alone upon the Constitution as it
was The published call of those who have
the welfare of this people and Nation at
heart is being responded to with hearty
will We of Hardeman county, along with
the citizens of this Congressional District,
have been called upon to send representa-
tives to meeting which is to be held in
Memphis on the 25th inst The call is made
by the National Johnson Club--a club COM
posed of men who know their rights and
dare assert them; men who have and can be
trusted We should send representatives, to
that meeting; it is duty incumbent upon
us to do so, and no time should be lost in
making the selection. The one meeting is
contingent upon the other--the opportunity
is given US to speak for ourselves and at the
same time strike death blow at tyranny,
unequal taxation, illegal legislation and ne
gro-equality. Millions Of conservative men
Of the North are sick and tired of evil men
and their evil ways We should come for
ward and strengthen their hands Our help
is needed. Shall we withhold it, and thus
give to the enemies of constitutional law
another chain to bind around our already
bruised and blighted liberties2 If we would
do ourselves duty, send delegates to the
convention, and let the People once more
counsel together. BURY partyism for eur
own, for our couutrys sake, and united,
Wen stand upon the broad base of the old
Constitution as it was.

Boiler ErpZosion-W learned last even
ing, says the Memphis Argus of the 9Th, of
terrible catastrophe which happened at
Austin, Miss, on the Mississippi river. We
give the statement as received, believing it
to be in the main correct. Last Monday, a
Mr.. w. c. Watkins, of this city, who has
some interest in a plantation near Austin,
bought new boiler for a stationary engine,
from a firm in this city, and shipped it to
his place, going down himself at the same
time On last thursday the boiler was put
up on his place for trial 1t was attached
to an engine which runs a cotton gin, and
perhaps other machinery Friday the trial
was made The boiler was heated sufh-
GENTLY only as was thought to run the ma
chinery. No doubts were entertained as
to the success of the experiment, and no
danger apprehenGed. An hour or two after
the engine was fred up the boiler exploded,
demolishing the gin house, cotton press,
ETC., entirely, greatly shattering the resi-
dence, hundred yards of, killing two men
instantly and desperately wounding several
others Four Of the wounded men were
placed in boat yesterday morning, to be
brought to this city Three of the number
died on the way. The other one, Mr. Wat
kins, arrived yesterday, and was placed in
the City Hospital His recovery is extremely
doubtful, and it is thought that the amputa-
ton of both his legs above the knees viii
be necessary.

The Proceedings Of the Legislae0re.

The Proceedings of the Legislature.
In regard to the organization of the Legis-
lature the Nashville Union and American
says: From our Legislative reports it will
be seen that the Governor and the Senate
are in haste to do the work appointed for
them. The House Of Representatives Is
without a quorum, and until that element
Of the Legislative body is qualified to pro-
coed to business, the General Assembly Is
not legally in session The Governor on
Friday, however, transmitted to the Senate,
a copy Of the proposed Constitutional Amend
ment with certificate and seal of the State
Department annexed, and q message recon-
mending its adoption. Upon its reception
Senator Trimble introduced a joint resolu-
ton ratifying it in behalf of the State and
people of Tennessee. Mr.. Carrigan of
Lincoln, offered a series of resolutions in
lieu, declaring that as the Legislature of
Tennessee was not yet constituted, it did not
represent the people Of the State. and that
it would be unwise and impolitic for this
body to assume to ratify under such circum-
stances Upon motion, Mr.. Carrigan's reso-
lutions were tabled by the decisive vote of
thirteen to six. This action may be re-
garded as significant of the sense of the
Senate on the question of ratification. 1t
is very clear that it was improper for the
Governor to send a message to one branch
of the Legislature while the other is incapa-
BILE of acting on the business to be submits
/ ted to 1t. The sixty or seventy men who
may have assembled in the two chambers,
do not constitute a Legislature until con
stitutional quorum of both Houses are pre-
sent and each notifies the other of the fact,
/ and the Governor can have no official knowl-
! edge of this fact until informed by the action
Of each for itself, either by its officers, or
! by joint committee. 1t IS late in the day,
however, and a waste of time to present
| considerations of loyalty to men who really
! seem to have forgotten the sanctions of law.
/ The deed is to be done, and "twere well it
were done quickly no matter how
The message also refers to the Metropolis
tan Police Act, suggesting certain defcien-
cies in the mode Of providing funds for its
| execution This, we presume, was consid-
| cred necessary by the course pursued by the
! County Court of Shelby and the authorities
of Memphis, in refusing to establish the
machinery in that district"

REVOLUTION IN CUBA.
Insurgents Joined By Spanish Soldiers
Landing Of ChiHan Troops on the Is

The Baltimore Sun, of July 9Th, publishes
an account of a rumor of a revolt in Cuba,
brought by the captain of a steamer which
arrived from Havana on the 4th. The re-
volt is said to have occurred at Porte Prin-
cipe, news of which caused intense excite
ment in Havana
The authorities ut Havana paid no atten-
ton to the rumors of the revolt until news
came that portion Of the population had
declared for the independence of Cuba and
separation from the Spanish Government.
On the lst instant a military force, consis-
ting of five companies, stationed at Porte
Principe, was sent against the insurgents to
bring them to order A fight ensued, In
which the Colonel was killed and two other
officers mortally wounded, while three com
panies of the Spanish soldiers went over to
the insurgents.
The latter reinforced and numbering now
seven thousand men proceeded to the noun
tain region. The moment this news was
/ known in Havana three steamers were dis
patched with troops to the place of revolt,
but before they were fairly on their way,
which was on the Sd, stirring intelligence
arrived that four steamers with two thou
/ sand troops on board made their appearance
near Chieyes, bearing the Gillian flag and
effected landing
! In the vicinity all the disconnected there
/ upon proceeded to the place of rendezvous,
and, 1t Is believed, that the revolt has its
ramihcatiOn throughout the whole island
! Among those who left Porte Principe were
about one thousand negroes, who it is as
/ serted, were armed by their oW ners to join
the insurgents. The whole affair was looked
upon as a general revolution of the natives
to free themselves from the Spanish rule.
