Encouraging

We observe by our exchanges from diff
ferent parts of the State that the people are
responding in most encouraging manner
to the call recently made by many Of our
best fellow citizens for convention that is
to meet at Nashville on the 22d inst, and it
Is also further source Of eongratulation to
observe that men Of sound Judgment and
unquestionable character are being chosen
to represent the different counties on the
occasion. From the facts which We have
gathered in regard to the proposed conven-
ton, we are led to believe tEat it was in
tended by the signers of the call to have s
sembled on the day in question such vast
and intelligent assemblage as would admit
Of no questioning but what it was uniyers
nj uprising Of the great masses of Tennessee
to vindicatc their honor and character, and
to forever fasten the lie upon the. ignorant
and designing hypocrites who have crept into
power as q thief enters receptacle of val
liable goods at the dead hour of night w;
regret exceedingly that there wero not more
delegates appointed from this county, for /
is very probable that all those who have beer
chosen will not attend the Convention, anC
should be panied to hereafter chronicle thu
fact that the wealthy and intelligent county
Of Iardeman had not furnished its full com
plement of members in the assembly that i:
to speak authoratively for four-ifths of the
bona ide citizens of the entire State, never
theless, we can assure our fellow citizen
that the gentlemen who have been chosen
from among us are fully competent to REP
resent this county and that their votes vii
meet with the cordial endorsement of ever
respectable man in the county of Hardeman
We have not the Veriest atom to lose by &C
ton, but much may escape us by inaction
it is therefore desirable that every one Q
the newly appointed delegates attend tn
Convention.

SPEECH OF GEORGE Il. PENDLEToN.
AFTER some preliminary remarks or
the harmony which had characterized
the proceedings of the Convention, and
affirmed his love for the organization and
discipline of the Democratic party, Mr.
Pendleton said 4:
Dissolved as these States now are,
there is not State, nor county, nor
township, nor town, nor family, nor
house, from the lakes to the Gulf, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, in which il
has not representative and a member.
The party is the same its principles
and convictions, which will continue as
long as the Government shall endure,
are the same but each day and year
produce their questions to be answered
their problems to be solved, and thus
while parties and principles remain
policies change. The question of to-day
is Union or disunion-the old Constitu-
stion or a new Constiution-the old Gov
ernment as our fathers gave it to us OF
revolution and change and a new system.
The Constitution is in danger; the Union
is broken, not by the collision of arms,
but by the political action of parties
Its enemies are in the high places of
power-they set in the seats of the Capt.
tol. They have their grasp upon its
throat they throttle it to the agonies of
dissolution. The President confronts
then, and the question presented to-day
to the Democratic party and the people
of Ohio, is simply this, whether they
will support the President in his effort
to maintain, or the Congress in its effort
to overthrow, the Government. The
Constitution grants certain powers to the
Federal Government. 1t reserves all
other powers to the States, and guaran-
tees certain rights to the people the
same powers were granted alike by all
the States the same powers were re-
served alike to all the States. The same
rights are guaranteed to the people of all
the States the States are equal before
the Constitution was adopted they con-
tinue to be equal by the terms of the
Constitution itself. They must remain
equal as long as the Constitution shall be
maintainedand the Federal Union created
by it shall endure. Mr.. Seward,
in his speech at Auburn, day before
yesterday, recognizes this fundament-
al truth, and in justice to those powers
and those rights belong to-day as well
to the States and the people of Georgia
and Mississippi as to the States and the
people of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Why
should it not be so The Constitution
provides that the Constitution, and the
laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be
the supreme law, anything in the consti-
tuition and laws of any State to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. This is the meas
ure of the lawful authority of the Federal
Government. This is the limit of its
lawful demand upon the States. When
this is conceded, the measure is full to
overfowing. When this conceded, the
States have fulfilled their Federal duty
they have discharged their Federal OBJ
legations; no more can be exacted from
them and they are entitled to the un-

urHE MASTER HAS COME OVER yoRDAE.'
By JULIA GILL.

ExTRAoT from letter from Rev. VIM. Good
dell, D. D., of Constantinople, Turkey, to Rev
DR.. Prime, of New YoFks
al come to ask special favor of you, viz: that
you viii see that sweet singer in Israer and com.
poser, MI. -, and ask him to make tune
to that beautiful hymn beginning with THE
Master hath come over Jordan The tune should
be a very simple one and suited to the popular
ear, that all the Christian mothers in the world
may learn to sing It by hearing it once. WeshaIl
pray that Brother may be where John was
on the Lords day (not in exile, but in the spir-
it); and may be assisted to make a tune which
shall be sung in my land by my tongue, not only
till the beginning Of the Millennium, but straight
through till the end Of It, and even far beyond"
"The Master has come over Jordon,"
Said Hannah, the mother, one day
'' He is healing the people who throng him,
With the touch of his finger, they say;
And now I shall carry the children
Little Rachel, and Samuel, and John,
And dear little Esther, the baby,
gor the Master TO look upon"
The father then looked az her kindly,
And said, as be tenderly smiled,
Now who but fond loving mother
Would think of project so wild
If the children were tortured with demouds,
Or dying with fever. 'twere well
Or had they the faint of the leper,
Like many around us who dwell"
Nay, nay, do not hinder me, Nathan,
feel such a burden of care
And if to the Master I tell lt,
That burden He'll help me to bear:
If He lay but His hand on the children,
Ny heart will be lighter, know,
For blessing for ever and ever
VIII follow them each as they 60"
Sc over the mountains of Judah,
Along with the vines all so green.
With Esther asleep on her bosom,
And Rachel her brothers between;
With the people who hung on his teaching,
Or waited His touch or His word;
Through the row of proud Pharisees fastening
She pressed to the feet Of the Lord.
" Now, why shouldst thou hinder the Master"
Said Peter, with children like these?
Thou knowest from morn until evening
He is teaching, and healing diseases"
Said Jesus: "Forbid not the children.
Permit them to come unto me ~
Then He took in His arms little Esther,
And Rachel He sat on His knee.
The care-stricken heart of the mother
Was lifted all sorrow above;
His hands kindly laid on the children,
He blest them with holest love;
And said of the babes on his bosom,
90 Of such are the kingdom of Heaven"
Then strength for all duty and trial,
That hour TO her Spirit was given.
