MOVEMENT AT NASHVILLE.


When Congress was constructing the
military bills, we expressed desire to
sec Tennessee included with the ten
States of the South. A correspondent
sent us a rebuke, and, putting on supe-
rior airs, announced that we were be-
logged" His superior strategy consisted
in calling Constitutional Con-
yention. We did not object to
that. but doubted if anything could
be accomplished, SO long as Brownlow
remained Governor. Time has vindi'
Gated the business of our doubt. and the
policy of escaping from Brownlow by
claiming the protection of the military
arm of the Government, The Mayor
and people of Nashville have arrived at
a similar conclusion. The former has
issued a proclamation calling a public
meeting to take into consideration the
best plan of protecting the people against
the vengeance of Brownlow's militia, and
suggesting the propriety of calling on
the United States military commanders
for protection. We think the movement
n good one. We go even further: If
Brownlow shall be reelected by the
means he has set on foot, and shall con-
tinue his war on the people, we should
petition Congress to place us in the con-
dition of the ten States of the South.

This distinguished gentleman, in his
letter accepting a nomination for Con-
gress, says:
IF the Conservative cause can be made
to triumph in the approaching election,
the people of Tennessee will be once
more free, prosperous and happy if the
extreme Radicalism with which we have
now to contend, shall succeed in fasten-
ing upon us and our posterity perma,
nently the letters Of slavery, then shall
we be compelled to endure a state OF
degradation and wretcheduess which
will leave no hope of our future enfran,
chisement, save through the use OF
instrumentalities which all sound patriots
and all true friends OF the public peace
and happiness would most earnestly
desire TO avoid.
