Associated action fur the purpose of effecting an important ob ject, is one of the wisest discoveries ol mod-1 em civilization:' to it must be attribuicu most of the improvements of our times. This matter is very wall understood t the North, but I am sorry to say bit! little known or pnic- tised lit the South. At the North, whenever il is intended 10 get wi'h eHicicncy upon the general Government indi 1 idnals know a ell hnv, to combine or associate together, tint their ac tion may be felt. This we have seenforyears past, whenever the policv ofthe Government lias noiiie hi conflict with any great Northern interest, immediately that interest combines and associates together, and speaks to the Government in euch a manner, that i'.a voice must be beard and listened to. It was but the oilier day the great iron interest -oflVnnsylva-J 111a. and other States, asseuibb-d at ri'lbirg, and uttered iUgriev.ane.es; a fow months pre vious, delegates were flocking from the North still West to Louis to force upon thefJov- erumeni a mammoiu scueiue oi a rail roan 10 ( alifornia, and a hort time previously, Mr. I'olk's veto upon the harbour hill rousod an indignation North and WeaC which assembled in Convention at Chicago and spoke in a voice that was neiih" misunderstood nor unheeded. f Forrhirsmnsulr.lig a'voUt rlu-ir ow ir'Sfliti w and interests, these people were not charged with desiring disunion wcommiuiiigaeuol'tr.asiui. and yet, when the rreat slaveholdmg interest .or this nation; the most delencrless 111 its na- Inreand chamcier. is attacked by an unpro voked and malignant foe rapidly gelling eon- RI'tfe:.GMIClUttttl u"njn?tty end unfairl y raised against it, became It proposes to ass iciuttt and consult for its bet ter protection and defence. Tho National In telligencer, a paper which circulates extensive ly throughout the South, with a view of throw ing odium on the southern Convention and distracting the minds of the Southern people, has latelv been ninning a parallel between that and the Hartfo toriety, and concludes iis article by preferring the patriotism or the latter. I hose wentlemen in their great desire to apologise for the Hart ford Convention and prejudice the Southern, forgot to mention lltat the odium attached to thellarif.nl Convention arose exclusively from the fact that at the time nf its assembling the Country wa engaged in a desperate conTiet with the moat powerful Nation ol the Wo Id, a conflict Uie issue of which was extremely doubtful, and a brave and generous public theu thought and yet - think, that whatever might be the peculiar grievances of tho New England people, the midst of She din of battle and etrugt'lefor existence, was not a proper time to dispute with their friends. And if I do not mistake the patriotic and generous character of the Southern people. Die time will come when ihos-; who oppose the Nashville, Convention, will be regardtd aa not urnciontly sensitive to the honor and interest of their Country. The time proposed for the aspr-iiibling of the Nashville Conven tion? is' one pf profound peace, tho Govern ment is all powerful, the skveholding interest is scattered over a great surface and notorious ly defenceless, the pre-jmlieea of the wnild are against it, arid if those whose duty it is to guard and protect it, dare not corns in and as sociate for that purpose, it fate is inevitable. Our people are ardently and justly attached to the anion of the State, its value is ines timable, a:id in my judgment the assembly of a Southarn Convention, so far from enfeeb ling the union, will tend immeasurably to strongthon It, by coiu iiicing tho Northern dis organise rs that we are united and determined to resist all unconstitutional assault upon our rights an J property.
