NASHVILLE TUESDAY, HAS.CH 10, 1857. C2?"The Americ&a papers of Naahville, are . silent tbis week, ss to tlie poiot where the District Convention shall be leld. The fit ess of Clarksville, &s the central spot, equally approachable from every point, is apparent to the entire District, and this, of itself ought to be conclusive in its favor. Usage, too, -Las fixed this as the place for the Conventions of both parties; and nnlessthe Nashville presacan present considerations overbalancing thee, diagati-faction rnnt follow the change not being convinced of its propriety, the-people will indulge suspicions as to the motives. We trust, therefore, that no farther attempt will be made todepsrt from the usage of the party. ClarlnilU Chronicle. We are a little snrpriscd to find in the Chronicle the insinuation of improper mo tires contained in the aboTe paragraph. It was not called for by anything said by the American press of this city, and is en tirely gratuitous. We fear its parentage may be attributed to the spirit suggested in the sentence of Iloly Writ "The wicked flee when no man pursueth." Now, as to the Convention: We don't care where it meets. It is a matter of no importance to ns whatever. We shall take no part in it. As an organ of the Ameri can Party we deem it our duty to pin our self to no man's skirt, but to await the ac tion of the Convention, and to support its nominee if he shall be fairly chosen. We proposed Nashville as the place of meeting at the instance of members of the American party who thought that as for mer Conventions had been held at Clarks ville, Montgomery would now be generous enough io send her delegation abroad They believed also from former experience that delegates from Dickson and Robert son would prefer Nashville, a point quite as accessible to them as Clarksville. Dele gates are often persons having business at the Capital, and as they can transact their private business whilst here on a political mission, they are more willing to attend. But, our friends may have been wrong in these views. Montgomery county may not be willing to permit her delegates to sever themselves from her apron strings. Stew art, Robertson and Dickson may regard Clarksville as theirpolitical Mecca and turn with horror from any other. If this be the case, let them say so. Davidson conn ty will join them wherever they go. Bedfwrd and lWtarehall Senatorial Die lrict. The democracy have already a candidate out in the above-named district. Although a decided democratic district, we trust the Americans will prepare to contest it vigorously. We think we see, in 'the fol lowing communication from the Shelby ville Expositor evidence of their determination to do so. Mr. Thompson, the gentleman proposed as the American candidate, we are assured, would prove a "tower of strength" to the American cause, and, if such a thing be possible, would overcome the democratic majority: From tkt BheibjTllI Ixpoaitor. 1 Senator from ItXaralial! and Bedford. Messrs. Editoes: "Whilst the names of sev eral gentlemen of the American party have been canvassed by their friends through yonr columns, as persons suitable to represent Bed ford proper and also the floating District of Rutherford and Bedford in the lower branch" of the next General Assembly, we have, as yet, seen no mention made in reference to the candidacy for the State Senate from Bedford and Marshall. It is true that heretofore there has not been very great zeal to contest the Senatorial aeat from these counties, inasmuch aa a majority has been against ns, yet sir, these are new times with cs and they involve new issues issues, which, if fairly presented and ably discussed before men of all parties, trill command their approval and assent They appeal with patriotic force to the American heart, the strings of which, touched aright, will echo in responsive chords of eraphatio en dorsement. Mystification and misrepresenta tion has heretofore enveloped with a cloud of prejudice the merits of our cause. It will re quire an able and well-posted gentleman to dispel by the wand of truth the murky clouds which lower above us, and to substitute an American Senator, who shall represent Ameri can principles from the good counties of Bed- lord ana Marshall. Looking, sir, over the array of worthv names in this Senatorial District, we know of none wnicb carries with it more of the elementa of availability and etrencth than that of Jo. 11. TnojipaoH, Eq., of Bedford. As a young gcnlleman of fine parts, thorough acquaintance with the political issues of the day, and of great $trength before tbe people, he has no su perior and few equals. Whether or not Mr. J. would aocept a nomination we cannot say. If he does, the District will stand redeemed, and on tue lues or August next "Victory will ail at our helm." pikit of '76. tzf The democracy of Franklin county held a meeting at Winchester last week, aud expressed a preference for lion.

The Prenident stated the object of the meet ing to be the appointment of delegates to the State Convention, at Nashville on the lst.of May, and to the District Convention, on the 1 It'll of April. On motion, the President appointed the fol lowing Committee of three, to nominate suita ble persons to attend said Conventions, as del egates: C. G. Smith, T. W. Beaumont and George Ilampton. We omit the list of Delegates. The following resolutions were offered, and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That, io the opinion of this meet ing, Clarksville ia the most suitable place for holding the Convention to nominate a candi date for Congress, in this District. Rrtolted, That, in the gentlemen whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination for Congress, we recognize none but able and worthy men, either of whom, if nominated, would be entitled to tbe earnest and enthusiastic support of the Amer icans of the 8th District. Rewhed, That tbe distinguished abilities and signal servioes of our reoent candidate for elec tor, in this District, Gen. James M. Quaries, in the opinion of this meeting, render his claims upon the American party pre-eminent; and he is, therefore, our first choice aa a can didate to represent this district, in the next Congress. Reiohed, That our delegates to tbe District Convention be instructed to cast their votes for Gen. Quaries, and requested to nse all hon orable rneana to secure his nomination. Retolced, That the delegates be authorized to nominate a candidate for the Legislature, and also to go into joint convention with the other counties interested, to nominate candi dates for the omoes of Senator and Floater.

On Sunday last, in company with several gentlemen, we took a trip (not on the car, but on horseback) over the road above desig nated, upon wbich work had been done, com meucing at Marshall, and were highly gratiSed tu Dud the ten continuous miles graded and cross-ties furnished io compliance with the requisitions of the charter. Owing to some very nnfavorable weather, for work, this win ter, it required a masterly effort to pu3U it through, even some tight work, we are inform ed. All concerned in this work, properly de nominated the "greatest enterprise of the age," Engineers, Contractors, Overseers, and Labor ers, are entitled to the highest praise for their euergy and untiring perseverance. The ties that we examined are chiefly of post oak many of them split out of large trees, and hence, all heart. Everything seems to have been done with a view to permanence and durability, and not for tbe purpose of sav ing lime. The neighbors along the line and vicinity, knowing that Monday was tbe day by which ten CJDtiuuous miles were to be prepared, as above stated, were out in number, with coun tenances wreathed with smile?. Although we were apprised that coubider&ble interest , was felt ia behalf of the enterprise, the manifesta tions traoscended cur expectations- The work will not abate, we are informed, but to the contrary, be prosecuted both East and West, with all possible speed. Should our friends of Louisiana push forward their por tion of the work, and meet ns at the line that sepnrates the States the place of conned iou the cars may soon be put upon the first twenty-live miiesfoa the Texas fciJe. This is very tlei-irable, not only for the facilities it would atFord to the travelling and shipping public, but that i; would serve as an invaluable auxiliary io adducing tbe work npou the road. It is earnestly to be hoped they will be iu time, as it would supersede the necesf ity of ex tending an arm to Swanson's Landing npou the Lake as expediency would auggett, should it be discovered they will cot be ia time to unite.

This la a great, achievement, and has already done much io advancing the wealth of tbe county, and when the road goes into operation will place Lincoln among the most wealthy and pronrous counties ia the State. The surplus products will no longer be shot out from the best markets.

' MirGTRAL ADDRESS Fkllow-Citizess: I appear before yoa thii day to take tbe solemn oath that I will faithfully ext- cute tbe office of President of the United State and i!', to tbe best of my ability, prewrve, protect, and defend the Cansii'-ution of the United Sates. Io enteriug npan this great office, I most humbly invoke tbe God of our Fathers for wisdom and firoi nees.to execute its. high and responsible duties in such a manner as to restore harmoay and tho an cient friendship among the people of the several Kutes, and to preserve our free i istitutioo through many generation. Convinced that I owe my elec tion to the i nherent love Tor the uousiuuuju the Union wbich still animates the hearts of the American people, let rae earnestly ask Iheir power ful support ia sustaining all just measure calcula ted to prp-tuate these, the richest pjliiiud bles sings wbicn Heaven baa ever bestowed upon any nation. ' - ' ' j ; Having determined net to become a eindidate frorf--lrciion, I shall have no motive to influence my conduct iu administering the government except the desire, ably and ftithtu 11 to serve mv country, and to live in the grateful memory of my country men. We have recently parsed througu a Presi dential contest in which the passions ol our follow citiztns were excited to the highest degree by questions of deep aod vital importance ; but when tbe people procl limed their wul, the tempest at once subsided, and all was calm. Tbe voice of the majority speaking io the manner prescribed by the Constitution was heard, and instant subiuissiou fol lows. Our own country could alone bave exhibits to grand and striking a epecUcle of the ci pacity of man fjr self-government. What a bappy conception, then, waa it for Congress to ap ply this sirapla rule, that the will of tbe mj nty shall govern the settlement of the question of do mestio slavery in the Territories. Congress is neither to legislate slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, out to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form aad regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to tbe Constitution of the Uuited Slates. As a natural consequence. Congress has also prescribed that when the Territory of Kansas shall be admitted as a Strte, it shall be received into the Union with or witbont slavery, as their con stitution may prescribe at the time of their admit siou. A different opinion has arisen ia regarJ to the time when the people of a Territory siiall decide tbis question for themselves. Tbis ia happily a matter cf but little practical import nce, and be sides, it is a juduiil question, wbich legiiimitely belongs to the Supreme Court of the Uoited States, before whom it is now pending, and will, it is uu derstood, be speedily and finally settled. To their dechrion, in common with all good cit xens, I shall cheerfully submit, whatever tbis may be, though it has been my individual opinion that under the Nebraska-Kansas act, the appropriate period will be when the number of actual residents in the Terri tory shall justify thj formation of a constitution with a view to its admission ss a State into the Uuion; but, be this as it may, it is the imperative and indispensable duty of the Government of the United Stites to secure to every resident inhabi tant the free aod independent expression cf bis opinion by his vcte. Tbis sacred liht of each in dividual must be preserved. This being accom plished, nothing can be fairer than to leave the people of a Territory free from all foreigu influ ence, to decide their own destiny for tbemselvts, subject only to the Constitution of the United SUU s. Tbe whole territorial question being tb us settled, upon the priuciple of popular sovertisjiity, a prin ciple as ancient as free government lueii, every thing of a practical value baS been decided, aud no other question remains for adjustment, because ail agree that under the Constitution, slavery in me States is beyond the reach of any human power ex cept of tbe rerp.'Ciive SuUs themskslve s wherein it ex 8ts. May we not then hope, tat the long agi tation on tUis subject is approaching its end, and that tbe geographical pardu-s ta wl.ieh it has given birth so much dreaded by the rather ot cia coun try, will speedily become extinct. Mc6t happy ill it be for the country when the public iuuiJ siiall be uiverted from this qut stiou to others of more pressing and practical importanc. Throughout the whule progress of this agitation, wbich has scarcely known iiiteruis.sion for iuorj than twenty years, whila it has bjen productive of no po6i ive good to any human being, it has been the prodSc source of great evil t J liiu uiasti r, to the sUve, aod to tbe whole country. It has kU.-uii ed and esurtugod the people of tho eister States from each other, and endangered the very exist uca of the Uuion: nor has the danger jet ci t.rely ceas ed. Under our cy tern thtre Is a remedy for 11 mere p jlilicnl evils in the suud suns; and Svb-T judgment of the people. Tiaie is a great coirec- live. Tbe political subjects, which but a few years axo excited and exasperated the public mind, have passed away, and are now nearly forgotten. But ibis question of domestic slavery is ot tar greater miportauce than any mere political question, bi cause, should the agitation continue, it ui-ij event ually endanger the personal salety of a large poi- tion of our countrymen where the institution exis s. Iu that event no form of government, however ad mirable in itself however productive of material benefits can compensate for the loss of peace and domestic security around the family altar. Let ev ery Uuion-lovin man, therefore, exert hia best influence to suppress the agitation which, since the recent legislation of Congress, is without auy legiti mate object. I. is an evil of the tiuies tnat muu have undertaken to calculate the mere material value of the Uuion. Recen estimates have been presented of the pecuniary profits and local advantages which would result to iii tie rent Stales aud sections from its dis solution; of the comparative iujuries which such an event would iuflict 011 other States and sections; even descending to this low and narrow view of the mighty questions. All such calculations are at fault. The bare rclereuco to a single considera tion wilt be couclusive ou thia poinC We at pre eut enjoy a free trade throughout our extensive aud expansive country, such as tbe world never witnessed. This trade .is conducted on railroads aud canals, on the noble rivers and arms of the sea, which bind together the North and the South, the East and the West of our Confederacy. Annihilate tbis trade, arrest in free progress by geographical Hues of jealous and hostild Slates, and you dtstroy tbe prosperity and ou ward march of the whole aud every pirt, and in volve all io one common ruin. Hui such consider ations, important aalbey are in themselves, eiukiu to ksiLidcance wbeu we reflect on the terrific evils wbich would result from disunion, to every pjr.ion of the Confederacy to the North not more ihau 10 the South, to the East not intra lhau to the West. These I shall not attempt to portray, because I feel an bumble confidence that the kind TrotiJence which inspired our fathers aith U dom to frame tbe most perfect form ol government and union ever devised by man, will not suffer it to perish until it shall have been peacefully instru mental, by its examl', iu the extension ot civil aud religious libtr.y throughout the world. Next iu importance to the nialutenance of the Constitution aud the Uuion, is the duty of pieserv ing govrument free from the Uiut or evm suspi cion of corruption. Hublic virtue W the vital spirit of Republics, aud history proves that when this has decayed, aud the love ol money has uuipdd iu place, although the forms of free governmeut ma; remain for e tason, the tub'tance has drpirted lor ever. Our present fioaucUl conditiou is without a parahil in Listory. No oatiou has ever before been eorerraseed from too Urge a surplus In itt treasury. This almost otc;sarily gives tirtb to extravagant legislation. It produces wi J schemes of expenditure, and begets a race of speculator and jobbers, wUoaj ingenuity ia exerted in couui viug and promoting expedients to obtaiu the pulLc money.

They have proved faithful both io peace and in war. After becoming citizens they are entitled under the Constitution aod laws to be placed on a perfect equality with native-horn citixens, and in thia char acter they should ever be kindly recognized, i IThe Federal Constitution ia a eraot from tho States to Congress of cetrain specific powers, and tbe qiestion, whether this graut shall be liberally or strictly construed, has more or less divided political parties from the beginning. Without en tering into tbe areomcnt, I desire to etite, at the com iiencement of my administrutioe, that long ex perience and observation bave convinced me that a strict construction of the powers of the goverc ment h the only true, as well as the only s f--, the ory of tbe Constitution. Whenever, in our past history, doubtful powers bsve been exercised by Congress, they have never ftiled to produce inju rious and unhappy consequences. Many such in stinces might be adduced, if this were the proper occasion. Neither is it necessiry for tha public service to strain the Unguage of tlie Constituibn, because tl! the er!kt and useful powers required for the suc cessful adu.i'iUtratioo of the government, both in peace or in war, have been granted, eituer.in ex press terms or by the plunest implication. Whil t deeply coaviueed of these truth, I yet consider it clear, that uoder the wBr-making power, Congress may appropriate money towards the construction of a military rod, when this is absolutely necessa ry, tr the defense or any State or territory 01 me Union against foreign invasion. Under the Constitution, Congress has power to deel ire war, to niss anl support armies, to provid and maintain a navy, and to call forth the militia to repel invasion. Thus endowed io au ample n a ner with a war-making power, the corresponding duty is required that the United States shall protect each of the Srates against invasion. Uow is it pos sible to afford this protection to California aud our Pacific possession sexe spt by means of a m litary road through the territories of the Uuited Sutis, over which m-a and munitions of war may be speedily transported from the Atlantic Slates to meet and repel tbe invader la case of a war with a naval power stronger than our own, we ahoull have no other availabe access to the Pacific coast, because such a power- would instantly close tbe route serosa the Isthmus of Central America. It ia impo-isii 1j to conceive it. The Constitution has expressly required Congr.. S3 to defeed all tbe Stales. It suoulJ not deny to them, by any fair construction, the only possible meant by which one of these Slates can ba d. ten ded. Besides, tbe Government, ever since its or. gin, has been tuthe constant practice of construct ing mditary roads. It might also be wise to consi der wbetuer tbe love of tue Union, which now ani mates our fellow-cit'zens on the Pacific coast, may not be impaired by neglect or refusal toproviue for them, in their remote and isolated condition, tbe only means by which the power of the Suites ou this fide of tbe Rocky Mountains Can reach them in sufficient time to protect them against invasion. I forbear for the present from expressing an opin ion as to the wisest and most economical mode in which Government can lend its aid in accompls ing this great and necessary work. I believe mat many dilticuitiies in the way, which now appear formidable, will, in a great degree, vauish assoou as the nearest aud beet rout j shall be satisfactorily ascertaiued. . It may be right that, on this occasion, I should make some brief remarks as to our rights ud duties as a member ot the great family ot nations. Iu our intercourse with them, there are some plain principles approved by our owu experience, iroiu which we should never depart. We ought to cultivate peace, commerce, aud friendship with all nations, aud this not merely as the best uieaas of promoting our owu material interest, but iu a spirit of Christian benevolence towards our ftl-low-inen wherever their lot may be cast. Our diplomacy bhould be direct aud frank, neither seeking to oblaiu more, nor accept less thau is our due. We ought to cherish a sacred regard lor the iudopcuduuee of all nations, and never attempt to luierfcre ia the domestic concerns of any, unless this shall be imperatively required by the great law of stlf-preservatiou. To avoid entangling alliances has been a max im of our policy ever siuoe tbe days of Washing ton, and its w isdom no one will attempt to dis pute. Iu short, we ought to do justice iu a kindly spirit to all nations, uud require justice from them in return. It is our glory that while other nations have extended their dominions by the sword, we have never acquired auy territory except by fair purchase, or, as iu the case of Texas, by the voluntary determination 01 a Drave, kiudred, and independent people to blend their destiuies with our owu. Lveu our acquisitions from Mexico form no exception. Unwilling to take advantage of the fortune of war against a sister Uepublic, we purchased these possessions under the treaty of peace for a sura which waa considered at the time a fair equivalent. Our past history forbids that we shall in future acquire territory unless this be sanctioned by the laws of justice and honor. Actiug 011 this principle, no nation will have a right to interfere or to complain of the progress of events. We shall still further extend our possessions. Hitherto iu all our acquisitions, the people, under the protection of the American flag, bave enjoyed civil and religious liberty as well as equal and just laws, aud bave beeu contented, prosperous aud happy. Their trade with the rest of the w orld has rapidly increased, and thus every commercial natiou has shared largely iu their successful progress. I shall now proceed to take the oath prescribed by the Coustiiutiou, whilst humbly iuvokiug the blessing of Diviue 1'rovideuce ou this great people. JAMES BUCIIAXAX. Washington, March 4, 1&57.
