NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION. INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS. . Nasuvitce, November 14—10% P. M. “The Convention assembled at ten o clock, this fore- ‘neon. After being called to order, the President requested the Becretary te read s letter from the absent member ‘ef the Tennessee delegation, Mr. Rowle, of which the flowing is a synopsis :— “Mr. Rowle stated in his letter that he would net der the question whioh called the first conv " as settled—it was onl; poned He had conltonce im tha intomee off te whe bat vstiee mise we hitherto made with the the oe ‘The States having been called, Messrs. Jones, of Georgia, Davenport of Mississippi, Pillow and Donel- ‘eon of Tennessee, and Cheever of Seuth Caroline, made their appearance. The resolution of Mr. Jones, of Ga., declared the ‘equality of rights, secured by the constitution, vio- lated by erecting California into a State, and Utahand ‘New Mexico into territorial governmente, &c., by dis- nembering Texas. He believed that non-interoourse ‘was called for. ‘The resolutions of Mr. Hunter, of Ga., declared the Zovermment in the hands of the North; and ayer that the South is in utter dependence on abolition majori- ties im Congress. The property of the South depends upon slaves. We should repel every assault upon that institution, at all hasards. He aliuded tothe Californie bill, &e., as robberies of Southern rights, and declared them unconstitutional. The Fugitive “Glave law is no concession. He recommended con- etitutional resistance to the acts cf Congress; and when that failed, each State should deeide for herself the mode of redress. Mr. Davenront, of Miss., declared for the right of ‘secession, reviewed the wrongs perpetrated by the ‘North, and cadled upon the South for concentrated ac- ‘tion to save the Unicn. He recommended non-in- ‘tercourse, and that the South go into no national con- vention for President with the North. Generel Pittow, of Tenn., embraced the views of emajority of the delegates, and recommended that although the bills of Congress fell short of justice to the South, that the convention declare its willingness to abide by the laws of the land, thereby giving proof of their attachment to the Union--that the South de- mand that agitation of the slavery question at the ‘North cease, and that the repeal of the fugitive bill would render all further association impossible. He recommended non-interconrse, if the North did not faithfully perform her part according to the action of Congress, and that if further interference with sla- very be persisted in, the legislatures of the several Bouthesn States elect delegates for a general conven- tion. Mr. Donrisox, of Tennerses, recommended acqui- “etcence in the lews by the South—that the Conven- ‘tion would not anticipate the course of action on the part of members of the federal compact, but would justify extreme measures—that the motte of the Southern States is * Perpetuity to the Union and Von- stitution;” and that this Convention will look to open resistance as a revolutionary remedy, only when such ‘an interpretation of the federal constitution is en- forced as will make the federal government an instra- -ment of intolerable tyranny and oppression. Mr. Currvsn submitted the following resolution :— "Resclved, That a secession, by the joint action of the [mtepersr vos ges the only efficient remedy for “the agararatcd wrongs which they now endure, and = ae fm oad Se Se the . re, from the usurped and uow unrestricted power sthe federal governmet, re ‘Mr. Cuerven then read along speech, reviewing the full subject ably and thoroughly. He ocoupled thres honrs, and recemi ded secession as the only alterna- tive. He said the Rubicon was pareed—the Union was already dissolved. What was the Union’? It was « bond of fraternity; it had beeome one of hostility.— We could net expect to live with # psople who, on covery occasion, and in the balls of legislation, de- mounce slavery asacrime. Was not the face of every Southern man suffused with a blush of shame! He frem any change that the Nerth could give, for it woulé only bring on an increase of their power, sad our danger, disgrace and shame. We should drop ail partyism, contend for the interest of our bleeding country. If ‘Virginia would lead, no blood would be spilled bad no doubt that ins little time, every Sou ‘would follow, except, perhi Delaware, whose interests would deter her, In the possibility of an invasion from the Noith to coerce the Bouth, where were their -army and money’ All their militia would find it dif- ficult to take Charleston or Savannah; and if they did take them, what would they do with them? Perhaps they calculated upom the assistance of our slaves; but they would be disappointed, for they would serve their masters at home. Undoubdtedly the South would suf- fer the usual casualties of war; but there were | dangers which a free people who were mot dis | posed to wear the yoke, would meet manfully. The right of secession was unequivocal. Mr. | C. appealed to Virginia to take the lead in « united secession, and he would warn the people of the South to beware of alion counsellors, whe are not our friends, and whe do not sympathize with us. Incon- | clusion, he would pray to God to inspire Southern amon with the spirit of freemon—then they would act | as men who know their rights and dare maintain them. We can scatter our enemies like autuma leaves, California will become @ slave State, and we | ‘will form the most splendid empire on which the gun | ever shone. Submit!

Last year, however, the contest was similarly close on the average vote between the whig and democratic par- ties for State officers, although the several candidates elected each received handsome majorities. The candl- dates then voted for on the State ticket, were Comptrol- ler, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Cs- nal Commissioner, State Engineer, Prison Iuspector, and Judge of the Court of Appeals. Of these officers, the whigs and democrats each elected four, and the aver- age vote of the whigs was jocratic vote. Whig majority. It will be recollected that in have been several instances of close elections. In 1840, Harrison's mejority for President, in Pennsylva- was about 350,,and the present Governor of that fe (Johnston) was elected by sbout 300, as was Go- vernor Ford, of Ohio, the same year. In afew days, (we believe about the Ist of December) the State of- cereat Albany, will canvass the votes tor Governor d other Btate officers and members of Congress, and declare the result.

Mr. Church had nat only the advantage of receiving the suti-rent vote, | but alse received many whig sbolition votes, in consequence of whieh he runs much better than Sey- mour in many of the western and central counties. | In Oneida county, for instance, where Seymour re- | tides, Church's majority is 1,167, while Seymour's is | 1,008.

This election will be a lesson to Mr. Cornell, which he will not soon forget. For Canal Commissioner, the returas indicate the lather the democratic candidate, by a small majority, eay 900, unless the official canvass should decide in favor of Blakely, The Istter was on the anti-rent ticket; but Mather is « bunker, and récefved warm support from that rection of the demooratio party, even exceeding that given to Seymour (who fs alee a bunker) forGovernor, Mather was alse supported by the canal and business interests of the city of Troy, where he resides, and the Trojans have great influence in the river oanal counties.
