The Convention.

The approaching State Convention
will soon command all the attention OF
the reading public, and everything else
will become of mere insignificance.-
The results of the Convention will af-
feet the people of the State for all time
TO come, eithrr for veal or for woe, and
it is a matter for exceeding qualification
to know that the delegates elected are
some OF our sblest statesmen and bet I
men.
The Memphis Ardl0eche, in a long
article reviewing the Character OF men
composing the Convention, recently
paid one of our delegates the following
merited compliment: 1.-THE tall form
of A. o. P. Nicholson, too, will loom
UP grandly in the Constitutional Con-
vention. For nearly forty years Mr..
Nicholson has been in public life. He
has occupied nearly every office in the
gift of the people, and he has done SO
well, been SO successful and honorable,
that he has connected himself for all
time with the history Of the State. His
sction in the approaching labors before
him will add TO legacy which, i'm al
ter years, the people will contemplate
with emotions of gratitude and PRIDE
Mr.. Nicholson will soon follow the IL
lustrious names who have bequeathed
unto Tennessee the priceless wealth OF
historic fame. But before the casket
that contains the imperishable jewel
shall have been exhausted, he desires
TO see the State that has SO often hon
ored him, great, prosperous and happy,
and living under Constitution whose
genial influences will knit together a
homogeneous people"

Col.,>,icudence ofthe Baltimore Gazette.
W AsHINGToN, Dec. p, 1S69.-Radi-
cal leaders assume ard proceed upon
the idea that, however harefaced their
infractiors of the constitution may have
been heretofore, they have come far
short of what the people of the North
would stand. They know fully the
power Of impudence and audacity.-
Pending the late Presidential election,
il was boldly ayowed by them in polit-
zeal circles that a majority of the people
yould not dare to vote for the Demo-
cratic nominees, in fear that If they
were elected they would be mceremo-
niously set aside by Radical House of
Representatives, and thus possibly give
rise TO civil connections. In other
words that Radical power Is based sole
IL ON the timidity of their opponents.

ofsubjugating the States. North as well

The Price 6? Life.

Our late war made life cheap. Be
fore the unpleasantness" between the
States, a murder committed in our
county sent thrill of horror through
out its length and breadth, and made
each portontious hair stand on end, Of
every youngster and negro in the land,
and became food for fireside CONVERSE
ton and public DISCUSSION for weeks,
nay, months afterwards. But now,
alas what change has como over the
spirit of our dreams! Within the pc
ROD of three days four men were recent
ly killed by their fellows in and aronnd
Columbia-four immortal souls hurried
through the gates of eternity, without
warning or benefit of clergy, to ask
their maker TO forgive them. "Can such
things be, and overcome US like sum-
mer cloud, without our special won
der?v Ave, it is even so. Other men
will soon be killed, and as the old has
charms the new has not, the old will be
forgot. What is to be done to check
thig thirst for blood? Are the laws in
sufficient? The large class to which
most of the murders are confined, fear
no moral or social punishment, and
nothing but prospect of contumelious
death, swift and sure, can deter them
from reeking their hands in human
gore. 1t is far better for the public
veal TO nang five criminals during the
wear, than to have twenty citizens
murdered. \ man may con init muir
der, and if he has plenty money he can
keep of punishment for years, until the
Jail is broken open, or the crime SO
nearly forgotten as to find no avengers.
Is such a state of things much better
than no law: Does it not "lmost n3r-
row it down to a mere question of brute
strength and dexterous use Of fire arms:
Can a community of citizens be made
to feel how nearly these questions con.
Germ their own lives? Will the officers
of the law execute it against the carry
ing of concealed weapons?
