The Nashville Convention Resolutions.
PASSED BY A VOTE OF SIX STATES TO ONE.
Resolved, I hat we have ever cherished, and do
now cherish a cordial attachment to the constitution
al union of the States, and that to preserve and per
petuate that union unimpaired, this convention orig
inated and has now re-assembled.
Resolved, That the Union of the States is a Union
o fequal and independent sovereignties, and that
the powers delegated to the U ederal Government,
can be resumed by the several States, whenever it
jnav seem to them proper and necessary.
Resolved, That all evils anticipated by the South
and which occasioned this Convention to assemble
have been realized, by the failure to extend the Mis
souri line of Compromise to the Pacific Ocean ; by
the admi -ion of California as a State ; by the organ
ization of Territorial Governments for Utah and
Xew Mexico, without giving adequate protection to
the property ot the South ; by the dismemberment
ofTexas ; by the abolition of the slave trade and the
emancipation of slaves carried into the District of
Columbia for sale.
Resolved, That wo earnestly recommend to all
parties in the slave holding states, to refuse to go in
to. or countenance any National Convention, whose
objects may be to nominate candidates for the Pres
idency and Vice Presidency of the United States,
ander any purty denomination whatever, until our
constitutional rights are secured.
Resolved, That in view of these agressions, and
ofthose threatened and impending, we earnestly rec
commend to the .slaveholding states, to meet in con
gross or convention, to be held at such time or place j
as the states desiring to be represented, may desig
nate, to be composed of double the number of their
Senators and Representatives in Congress of the
United States, entrusted with full power and au- 1
thority to deliberate and act with the view and in- j
tentiouof arresting further aggression, and if possi
ble of restoring the constitutional rights of the South
and if not, to provide for their future safety and in
dependence.
Resolved, That, the President of this Convention !
bo requested to send copies of the foregoing preamble !
and resolutions to the Governors of each of the slave i
holding States in the Union, to be laid before their j
respective Legislatures at earliest assemblage. J
‘ML.ic” T~rrT. A
I>lr. flay a X FraiUfort Ky.
The following is the conclusion of the lion. Henry Clay's
s|(h>(>li before the Kentucky Legislature on the 19th Nov.:
Now, Mr. Speaker, we have the constitution, the law, and
t!u*clear right, on our side. Dissolve the confederacy, and
create new laws, and the right will be transferred from us to
other*. 1 may be asked, as 1 have been asked, wiiether I
would consent to a dissolution of the Union. I answer—nev
er, never, never! because I can conceive of no possible con
tingency that would make it for the interest and happiness of
the people to break up this glorious confederacy; to separate
it into bleeding and belligerent parts. Show me—what I be
ll*™ to be impossible to show me—that there will be greater
’ leeurity for liberty, life, prosperity and human happiness, in
the midst of jarring, jealous, and warring independent Nortli
American powers, than under the eagle of the Union, and I
will consent to its dissolution. I would not hold to it if
Congress were to usurp a power, which lam sure it never
:■!, to abolish slavery within the States; for in the contin
jjvner of such a usurpation, up* should be in a better condi- j
tW w* Uvcrv (had as it would be) out of the Union, than
’ in the Union. Apprehensions have been entertained and ex- !
pressed as to the want, in future time, of territorial seopefor
! tiie slave population. I believe that a very distant event, not j
likely to occur in the present or next century. Whenever
die vast unoccupied wastes in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisana, l
| Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Texas, shall become fully
peopled, slavery will have reached its natural termination. !
Tin* density of population in the United States w li then be I
, (treat, that there will be such reduction in the price and !
value of labor as to render it much cheaper to employ free !
than slave labor ; and slaves, becoming a burthen to their ow
j turn, will be voluntarily disposed of, and allowed to go free.
Then, I lntpe and believe, under the dispensation of Provi
'Fnel, the continent of Africa by the system of colonization,
j will be competent to receive from America all the descend
auts es its own race. If the agitation in regard to the Fugi
tive Slave law should continue and increase and become a
itrming, it will lead to the formation of two parties, one for I
the l nion, and one against the Union. Present parties have I
t>*encreated by division of opinion as to systems of national ’
poliey, hh to finance, free trade, or protection, the improve
nimt of rivers and harbors, the distribution of the proceeds
“f public lands, ire. F.ut these systems of policy, spring
'uc from the administration of government of the Union.
inw ul! their interest and importance if that Union is to be
u!o!ved. They sink into utter insignificance before the all
important, pervasive, and paramount interest of the Union
,!vi ‘* The platform of that Union party will be—the Union,
■be Constitution and enforcement of its laws ; and if it should
U necessary to form such party, aud it should be accordingly
■ j'li' 1 !, I announce myself in this place a member of that
1 nion party, whatever may be its component elements. Sir,
jn uirtlicr. I have great hopes and confidence in the princi
i Piw of the whig party, as being most likely to conduce to the
ionor, the prosperity, and the glory of my country. But if
h i-to be merged into a contemptible abolition party, and if
■ ‘"litioaism is to be engrafted upon the whig creed, from that
’ “ aent l renounce the party, and cease to be a whig. I go
a p h'p fartner. If I ani alive. I will give tny humble support
* hat man for the Presidency, who, to whatever party he
I ■r .. In long, is not contaminated by fanaticism, rather than ;
I Isl one who, crying out all the time aloud that he is a whig,
I r! jj :lins doctrines utterly subversive of the constitution and
I ll ’ inion. M r . Speaker, I speak without reserve, and with
I ‘ 1 re freedom. If there be a man treading the soil of this
A r ’U (arth, who feels himself perfectly independent, I am
■ wan. I have noambitiojus aspirations. I want no office,
I hi the gif* ot ttko.fi. I would resign that which I
I 1 thought I could do so at this time with honor. 1
9 n ' no place whatever. I heg pardon sir—there is one
I 1 ftll U “ Inch 1 desire, and that is, a warm place in your
I a late heated discussions and divisions have pro-
I ° n ® good result—the people generally*, whigs and

In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I renew the expression of my
respectful acknowledgements for the distinguished honor of
this occasion. It will form an epoch in my life—will ever be
cherished most gratefully in my memory, and will be trans
mitted to my descendants as a precious legacy.

SALE OF LOTS IN
O G L li T H O R P E.
* esT-co supply the derfrand for lots hi this new and growing
JL town, there will he another sale, commencing on Wed
nesday. the 18th day of Decembernext, at 10 o’clock, A. M.
The advantages of Oglethorpe as a place of business, are too
well known toured any recommendation —its location at the
terminus of Railroad, in the most fertile cotton region of
Georgia, will necessarily give it a rapid growth—:t will have
all the business, which the sale of 79 or 89,909 bales of
cotton will command—its site is unsurpassed in beauty, by
any in this State : it has contained the present year, a popu
lation of near 399 persons ; at the taking of the present census
it was 286: not a case of fever, or serious sickness of any kind
has occurred in the piaee ; in regard to health, it will thus
far, compare favorably with any place in the State. Purcha
sers of lots, con readily obtain materials either ol lumber or
brick, for building—there are two steam saw mills, running
two saws each in full operation, one within two, anil the oth
er five miles from the place ; two brickyards have been wor
ked this year and have made brick of an excellent quality t
preparations are in progress, for carrying out this business
on a more extensive scale next year.
The early completion of the Railroad to Oglethorpe next
year, is placed beyond doubt. Persons who wish to prepare
for business in this town the next season, will do well to at
tend, as this will lie the last pyhlic sale—the remaining, un
sold and business lots, and a large number of beautiful lots
for residences, will be offered. E. G. CABANISfe.
