proceedings of tlie Nashville Convention
The Convention assembled here this morning
jt 10 o'clock, and after being called to order, tin.'
president asked the Secretary i>> rend the leite;
received ir ><r. tin- absent memberof the Tennes?
see Delegation, Mr. Rowles, with which the Sec
retary complied. It was written in strong se
^t-ssh'li tores.
The States being called, Jones Hunter of Ga
JJiWenpoH "i Miss. Pillow and Donaldson of Tenh
?feever ,.; S. C. made their appearance; after
*bich Mr Cheever submitted the following reso
jjlion :
?Betotred Ti nt a secession by the joint action or the
^??vbo.diiij .State-, is m- on.y rem-dy for lue
?jnavated wrongs winch they now endure, and tlieenor
Xu events which threaten them, in tbs future, from the
tiurprd and now unrestricted power of the Federal Go
?be full subject ably and thoroughly occupying
* the ?nlj alternative It was already done;
tie rubicon was passed; the I nton already dis?
solved. What was the Union. It was a bond of
{Htemity; it had become one of hostility. We
fluid not expect to live with r people, who. on
every occasion, and in the halls o: legislation, de?
nounced Slavery us n crime. Was not the luce of
erery Southern man suffused with a blush of
ibaine ?
He ssid that we could hope for nothing from
joy change that the North conld give; itwouli
oniy bring au increase of their power, and our
rjiDgcr, disgrace and shame. We should drop
party and unitedly contend for the interest of our
{beding country. If Virginia would lead, no
blood would be spilled, and he had no doubt that
is8 little time every Southern State would fob
low except, perhaps, Delaware, whose interests
trould deter her.
Jn th.u possibility of an invasion from the North
to coerce, where were the army and money to
come from ' All their militia would find it diiii
ro!t to take Charleston or Sava.mah ; and if they
jid, what would they do with then; .'
Perhaps they calculated upon the assistance of
4rslaves , but they would be disappointed.
The Union once dissolved, undoubtedly the
South would sutler the usual casualties of war. a
nisfortnne which u free people who wero not dis?
posed to wear the yoke, would meet manfully.
The right of secession was unequivocal. He up
pealed to Virginia to take the lead in a united se?
cession. And he would warn the people of the
South to beware of alien counsellors who were
sot our friends. They did not .sympathise with
tu. In conclusion, he would ['ray to God to in?
spire Southern men with the spirit of freemen !
Then they would act as men who know their
lights and dare maintain them.
We can scatter our enemies like Autumnal
leaves. California will become a Slave State,
and we v\ ill form the most splendid Empire on
which the sun ever shone. Submit! The sound
curdles the blood, and may (Jod unite us.
At the conclusion of the speech the Convention
adjourned to 10 to morrow.
MDitpatrh j Nashville. Thursday, Nov. i t.
Mr. Howies of Tenn. stated in a letter to the
President of the Convention that he would not
consider the question which called the lirst Con?
vention settled?only postponed. He had no con?
fidence in the integrity of men who had violated
every compromise they had hitherto made with
the South. He was convinced we must stop the
sale of brooms, wooden clocks and nutmegs in the
South for a year, when the Higher Law advocates
i would discover new beauties in the sublunary
Constitution.
The resolution of Mr. .lonee of Ga. declared the
cquulity ol rights secured by the Constitution vi?
olated In erecting California into a State, l.'tah
and New-Mexico into Territorial Governments,
a.id dismemberingTexas, nnd that non-intercourse
was called for.
The resolutions of Mr. Hunter of (Ja. declared
the Government in the hands of the North and
the South in utter dependence on abolition major?
ities in Congress. The property of the South de?
pends upon slaves. We should repel every as?
sault upon that institution at all hazards. He
alluded to the California bill &c. as robberies of
Southern rights, declared them unconstitutional ;
the Fugitive Slave law ia no concession, recom?
mended Constitutional resistance to the nets of
Congress ; when that failed each state decide for
herself her mode of redress.
Mr. Davenport of Miss, declared the right of
secession, reviewed the wrongs perpetrated by
the North, nnd called upon the South for concen?
trated action to save the Union by Convention,
recommending non-intercourse. and that the
South refuse to go into National Convention for
President with the North
Gen. Pillow of Tenn. embodied the views of
the. majority of the Delegates, nnd recommended
that, although bills of 'Congress fell short of
.justice to the South, that '.he Convention declare
its willingness to abide by the laws of the laud,
thereby giving proof of their attachment to the
Union; that the South demand that the agitation
of the Slavery question at the North cease; and
that the repeal of the Fugitive Slave bill would
render all turther association impossible; recom?
mending non intercourse, if the North did not
faithfully perform her part according to the action
of Congress; that if further interference with
Slavery he persisted in, that the Legislatures ot
the several States elect Delegates tor a General
Convention.
Mr. Donaldson of Tenn. recommended acquies?
cence in the laws bv the South, that the Conven?
tion would not anticipate the course of action of
a part of members of the Federal compact, but
would justify extreme measures, thnt the motto
of Southern States is, "Perpetuity to the Union
ami the Constitution," and that this Convention
will look to open resistance as a revolutionary
remedy, only where such an interpretation of the
Federal Constitution is inforced, as will make the
Federal Government an instrument of intolerable
tyranny nnd oppression.
Chaplin Trial?Appointments, etc.
Washington, Thursday, Nov. U.
The Court at Ilockville having refused to admit
Chaplin to bail, affidavits were tiled by him yes?
terday allirming that he could not obtain a fair trial
in this Court and claiming a change of venue. His
application WSS granted, and the case ruled to the
Spring term of the Harvard District Court. The
Court tixetl the nmount of bail at $19,000, which
is not yet obtained.
The Grand Jury presented seven indictments,
three charging Chaplin with assault and battery
with attempt to kill, two for larceny of Toombs
Slid Stevens's slaves, and two for assisting the
slaves to escape. The bail money will be placed

To the Editors of The Tribune:
j Since your paper is devoted to the popular
j cause, 1 send )ou this communication, trusting
that you will for the love of that c ause give it a
plnce in your columns.
Although I am an old and, I may sny, a tried
advocate of Democracy, and have brought my
children here that they may be educated in Re?
publican principles and enjoy the advantages of
I Republican institutions, I am nevertheless con?
vinced that Political Reformation, wanted even
here?taken in its general sense?can be but o
comparatively little use to the people; that even
here, under any political system of Government
possible, they may he as effectually crushed and
endangered as in the old Aristocracies ; nay, more
so; for the almighty noi.i.ar is more unpitying
than the Cornet, and the power of W ealth more
reckless as to the results or the means of its ag
grandizement, and owns less responsibilities than
Hereditary Rank.
Must we workers, there lore, submit to the baser
tyrant, because we have escaped from the op?
pression of the other? Certainly not: wo can,
thank God, protect ourselves by social regenera?
tion, and we will do so?we cannot avoid doing
so if we would. This social regeneration is to
be brought about, only by the organization ok
LAlton; the formations of Associations of Work
men, is now acknowledged by many of the more
clearsighted of our class, to be the true manner of
bee innimr that organization, consequently many
Associations are formed, ami many more will be
formed ; tbe ineviiable consequence of this isu
lated formation of Associations by which each
is lor itself, will be to produce a monopoly
more detrimental to the masses than that of the
Capitalists. I do not deny that it may benefit
those concerned even as the Capitalists are now
benefit tod by the present system. Hut I trust
that we workers have arrived at that phase of'
knowledge.?ay, and of power, if need should
be,?that we can defy Monopoly in all its forms,
and so organize our Associations as to aim at the
important result of entirely affranchising Labor
from Capital, from hazard, from all uncertainty
either of employment or of profit, and even from
the want resulting from inability to work ; that we
can moreover protect our families from the fear
of destitution at our death; but to obtain these
advantages we must take the right course even
from now, or we shall have to retrace our steps,
through much difficulty, und much loss of time, of
property, and what is worse, of good feeling
among ourselves.
Let us therefore, fully understand the objects
we wish to attain, the principles which should
guide us for their attainment, and the manner in
which wc must proceed to carry out our views.
Oar objects should bo to affranchise Labor from
the domination of Capital; to insure to all work?
ers nil the profits of their labor; and mutually to
protect each other from oil the contingencies
which our human nature renders unavoidable:
these are all the objects which we can safely en?
deavor to accomplish at present; and sufficient
for the day is the Labor thereof.
The principles which should guide us in our en?
deavors to attain these objects are?-that Capital
cannot deserve more than its interest: that each
worker shall be paid according to his work; und
that the remaining profit shall be equally divided
among the associates, n part being left to increase
the Capital nnd the General Fund ; that no Asso
nation cau compete with another in the same
trade and place ; that no Association can be re?
garded as complete until all the workers in that
trade belong to it ; that all Associations shall deal
mutually with each other: that they shall sup?
port each other bv ai.i. possible means; that all
Institutions which can be in common to the Asso?
ciations shnll be so ; and that they shall de direct
ed in all that relates to general affairs by a Hoard
consisting of Delegates from each Association, the
I which Hoard shall not occupy itself with extrane?
ous business. 1 am convinced that we cannot at
present act on principles more advanced tliRtt
these, and this is the conviction of one who has
been a Communist 25 years, and still is so.
The method of proceeding to establish the As?
sociations must oe defined on scientific data,
adapted to local circumstances , of these last 1
cannot be supposed to have much knowledge, as
my residence here does not yet date from two
months ; r.ll that 1 may possess of the former is
at the service of my fellow-workers In fact, it is
only because 1 think tiiat New York is the place
where I can best serve in the practice of Associa?
tion, that I have decided on residing here rather
than in other towns which I might have otherwise
preferred.
1 have some copies of the "Tracts on Christian
Socialism" published by the Promoters of the
Workingmcn's Associations in London. They
contain the theoretrical develpment of'the idea
that Christianity cauuot be perfect in a competi?
tive state of society ; some account of the Asso?
ciations in London and Paris: the Constitution of
the Society of Associations, and a model set of
Laws for an Association. These Tracts are at
the service of those who desire earnestly to work
in this cause.
My last letter from London informs me that the
Society has established a general Store, and that
! they have began to publish their weekly organ, to
be called the " Christian Socialist." It will be
sent to us. Your obedient servant,
CHARLES SULLY, 11 Filth-avenue.
We add to the above that Mr. Sully comes to
this country highly recommended by some of the
gentlemen who have so effectually promoted the
formation of Workingmen's Associations in Lon?
don. We trust he may ere long witness the suc?
cess of similar organizations among the artisans
of this City. [Ed. Trib.
TO Tilt: EDITOR Of THE TRIBUNE:
Over the signature of a "Journeyman Gold
heater, in your paper of to day, 1 read an article
which complete,}' surprised me. 1 could see
nothing in it to advance the interests of the trade
?on the contrary it seems to have been gotten
up for the purpose of exalting a few of the em?
ployers. The writer throws out no suggestions to
bent it the craft, but he assumes that he possesses
nl! the courage and discernment of the frateraity.
1, as an old band in the business, do not feel dis?
posed to allow him so much credit. If he. in his
wisdom, will point out the way iu which we are
to walk, I, for one, will thank him most heartily.
You will oblige yourhumble servant and the trade
at large by publishing this. Our object is to gain
information from a " Journeyman Goldbeater."

Lki tube on Romance and Romantic Poetrt
?In our paper of yesterday we gave a sketch of
the interesting and scholastic lecture with which
on the preceding evening, Rev. Wm. W. Lord
opened. iD the Chapel of Columbia College, his
course on the subjects indicated at the head of
this paragraph. We then remarked upon the
thin attendance in the lecture-room?and are now
requested to state that, in compliance with the
suggestion of many persons whose dwellings are
in the upper Wards, the lectures will be given in
the Hope Chapel. 718 Broadway, on Saturday
and Thursday?to commence on Saturday evening
next, nt s o'clock, when Mr. Lord will by desire
repent his opening lecture. The advertisement
specities prices and subjects.
Mechanics' Institcte Lectures.?It will be
seen by reference to the advertisement in anoth?
er column of to day's paper, that the annuul
course of Lectures before the Mechanics' Insti?
tute will commence next Monday evening, at the
Hope Chapel, in Broadway?the first Lecture be?
ing preceded by an Introductory Address, setting
forth the history, objects, dec. of the Mechanics'
Institute.
This Institution is one of the most deserving in
our City; and its influence, though silent and un

annual course of lectures?has been for many
years extensively beuelicent. By means of its

the course, with a most interesting and suggestive
subject; and Prof. Hl'.mk, a lecturer well known
and popular on subjects connected with the im?
provements of the age in Mechanics and Natural
Philosophy, will deliver two lectures on his favor?
ite topics. We earnestly recommend to all our
readers to attend.
Mercantile Library Association Lectures.
?Gko. H. Mh.e~, of Baltimore, who is to deliver
the next lecture before the Mercantile Library
Association, next Tuesday evening, at the Broad?
way Tabernacle, is a young lawyer of distinguished
literary attainments. lie is the author of "Mo?
hammed,' a tragedy written for Edwin Forrest,
ami has delivered several addresses which have
won for him an enviable reputation. We are in
formcd that Rev, John Lord for his lecture, on
Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, has chosen for his sub?
ject "The suppression of the Jusuits under Pope
Clement XIV." Those who heard Rev. Dr. Ry.
der, an eminent Jesuit, last Tuesday evening, will
no doubt be gratified to hear Rev. John Lord on
the same subject. A more attractive course of
lectures than those now being delivered before
the Mercantile Library Association cannot be pre

FOREIGN MARKETS.
Correspondence of Tho Tribune.
Liverpool, Wednesday. Oct. Jo, 18.50.
Advices from America to tho I ">ih inst. came duly to hand
on the 27th, by the Cambria, which nrrived on Sunday, the
27th insL The intelligence brought by her on the subject
of Collen und crop prospects, has hot had nny ert'ect on
our market, which remains much in tlie same state as
during 'ast week. The advices, however, were of a char?
acter to promote some improvement; but the unsettled
stiite of ailiurs iu Germany,and exajr),"'ruted reports of the
Times newspaper of the proceedings of Prussia and Aus
iria, have somewhat alarmed the timid and induced the
more confident lo pause in their operations. So much
suffering among mercantile men having so recently been
occasioned by Continental embroilments, more fear Is en?
tertained lhan the real facts ol" the case warrant. Those
who are host informed respecting European art'airs have
no! any apprehension of peace being disturbed, and ari'
quite prepared to hear -re long of u satisfactory solution of
the impending difficulties.
Mercantile affairs nre continually more or less agitated
by the artifices of the Paris and London stockjobbers;
more, indeed, lhan most people imagine, particularly since
[lie introdiirtion of tbe eb-ctnc telegraph, which is con?
stantly the medium of communicating fabrications which
are seldom contradicted till tlie arrival of the regular
mails, yesterday, consternation was visible In the counte?
nance of many timid holders of Cotton. To-day they are
somewhat appeased, und take a less gloomy view of
Mllair?. But until there be some more positive assurance
that peace will be preserved, we must not look for much
activity in our Cotton market. Speculators^ though they
nibble a little from day to day, ar<- almost defunct; indeeci,
at present prices, It requires"! If* ct. to cover all charges for
keeping on hand two or throe months.
The sales of yesterday, were S.oeo bales, of which 1,500
Surats lor export, 1,000 Bra/ils and 2,000 American for the
irade; the day before 7,0e0 were sold, of which 3,001)
spec, and export, and about the same quantity on Saturday.
There is a steady inquiry to-day, and less Influenced by
yesterday's political reports.
We have advices to-day of an interview at Warsaw be?
tween the Kmperor of Russia und the Emperor of Austria,
w hich may result in some pacific move, and thus allay the
iears of the timid. There is too great a scarcity of tin In
Germany to encourage lighting?the real sinews of war
ure wanting.
Here Money continues plentiful. I know for a fact that
the London und North Western Railway have tendered to
them loans to any amount for live years, at 3 fc> cent. J*
annum.
Manchester market steady. A fair extent ef business
doing, but was yesterday a Utile under the influence of po?
litical reports. The spinners have little or no Cotton, and
seem not at present disposed to buy more than from hand
to mouth. The stocks of Goods and Yarns equally small.
Good demand for India, Brazil an<i American.
Grain market languid, but no change in prices. i. n.

Correspondence of The New-York Tribune.
Philadelphia, Thursday, Nov. II.
A steamer of about 300 tuns burthen, named
''? Virginia," was launched at a Kensington ship
yard this morning. She is intended to form one
of a regular line of steamers to run between this
port and Virginia.
James Smith, a rioter, was committed to prison
thin morning, in default of $2,500, to stand his
trial.
I made a mistake yesterday, in regard to the
number of pages of tracts distributed monthly in
this city by the " Philadelphia Tract .Society."
It should be 1."0,000 pages, instead of 30,000.
The market has been quiet to-day. Cotton is held
rinnly, but the aulea are limited. Supplies of F/.ocr and
Grain are coming forward more freely, in consequence of
ihe near approach of tlie time for closing the Canals. Com?
mon shipping brands of Flocr are held at 4 37J jp- bbl, but
no sales for export have been reported, ftloderate sales to
the trade at 4 Ua%? for common and good brands, and
3 12ia5 50 for choice lots and extra. In Rve Flour
there is nothing doLng. A small sale of CornMe.il at $3

PAEZ AND VENEZUELA

Ol ItMt W )
Writers are apt to be unjust toward the South
American Republics. Whenever tlvre is oc?
casion to speak of them the conditions of their
origin are forgotten, and they are judged without
mercy by the severest standard Because thojr
do not exhibit cite same tranquihiy, the sam?
steady respect for law, tiie same progress in in?
telligence and the industrial arts with which we
are familiar in Ohio or Massachusetts they are
pronounced failures, and ruin and extinction
augured as their destiny. Bat all this overlooks
the fact that they entered upon the experiment of
self-government with a population reared iu the
worst school for freedom, and with habits of mind,
customs, laws, and municipal institutions poorly
adapted to liberty, It was impossible, in the nature)
of the case, that the} should pass through a tran?
quil and orderly republican career . conspiracies
ami revolutions were to be expected , it was a
matter of course that selfish men should seek t*
use, for their own advantage, the ignorance auJ,
superstition still existing among the people, and
that the best interests of freedom and progress
should at every step be exposed to serious
dangers. This, we say. could not be otherwise ,
axd to our minds it is evident that these things
considered, the cause of Liberty has not been a
loser, but has gained by the experience of above a
quarter of a century in those countries. What?
ever the vicissitudes which accident or ambition
have forced upon them, they have still remained
true to the republican idea. It is not our fortuue
to know these Republics from personal observa
tion. but from the best information we can attain
we are assured that their inhabitants are mom
firmly attached to Republicanism, and are better
Republicans, than when their independence was
declared. They have not been under the dis
cipline of freedom in vain ; but great as their de
ficiences still are, Rnd serious as are the uncer?
tainties east on their future by the anarchy which
from time to time appears among them, we have
not the slightest doubt that they are, upon the
w hole, in a much more advanced and hopeful eon
dition than when they freed themselves from
Spanish supremacy.
Perhaps the most interesting of these republics
is Venezuela. Its positiou, extent of territory,
rich soil, and history, all contribute to render it
prominent before the public of the United States.
The recent arrival of Gen Paez, and the extrava
gnnt ami more than undeserved public ceremonies
by which his friends and agents managed to have
it attended, and which have probably passed in
smne quarters for spontaneous manifestations of
public admiration, have still more freshly fit.ed the
general attention upon the laud from which he;
was exiled, and in connection with which he has
played an important, if not always an honorable)
part.
It ought to be understood that the correspond?
ence and editorial articles of the press in this
country have generally been in tho interest of Pa'
ez, and have defended his partj with the warmest
partisanship. For a long time he exercised a
controling influence in Venezuela, and even after
he had ceased to bo powerful the illusion of power
remained to aid him. His party was that of
wealth and 'order,' of restrictions upon popular
liberties, of a 'strong government' and of conserv?
atism generally. The natural consequence was
that most, if not all, the American merchants re?
siding in Venezuela, believing their own prosper?
ity and the security of property generally to do'
jiend upon his being kept in the control of the na?
tion and on the neroetual triumph of his party,
gave the tone of their ow n opinions to all tho let?
ters they sent to this country, while their business
connections here adopted and repeated their im?
pressions on every occasion, h'or instance, soon
after the affair of January 24, 1948, we published
in The Tribune a letter from an American morchant
at La Guayra, whom we knew to be generally
an intelligent, honest and reliable lnan, and accor.
dingly indorsed his statements as to the transac
tioiis of that day. We have since ascertained
that he was not an impartial witness, as we sup?
posed, hut a warm partizan of Paez and hater of
the liberal party. And we are now convinced that
his report of the facts ofthat occasion was entire?
ty discolored and false, not from any wrong inten?
tion, but simply from perverted and mistaken
feeling. In the excitement of the event
he caught up the rumors most consonant with
his own predelictiona and most unfavorable
to the party and the men he wished to see over?
thrown, and sent them to ua as certain facts.?
Nor is this the only illustration we hud in our
own columns of the industry and success of tho
agents and friends of Paez. It is now less than a
year since an article on Venezuela, written by a
person then attached to our oflice, appeared on
Editorial in The Tribune, in the absence of tln*
Editor. The statements of that article were as
favorable to Paez as they were unfavorable to the)
liberal party in Venezuela. Gen. Paez would
have done well to quote it against us in his De?
fense. The facts set forth in it were, as we aro
assured, furnished to the writer by the individu al
who procured the steamer Scourge to be sent front
New-Orleans to aid the General in his late trea.
sonable attempt. Of course, both the facts and.
the conclusion drawn from them were worthless,
from these two instances the public can under
stand how successfully the game of disguising th*
truth has been played with reference to the wbolo
receut history of Venezuela. Paez and his party
have managed to monopolize the public ear, ami
have left nothing undone which could etdist opin?
ion in their behalf in Europe and tho United
States. So far, indeed, has this been carried, that
the history of Venezuela, by Haralt A. Diaz, pub?
lished in Paris in 1841, and referred to by Uou.
Paez in his Defense, is understood to have boeu
written and published at bis instance, in order
mainly to cast the needed light upon his reputa?
tion abroad.
It would be too long a task to follow Gen. Paez
through ail bis statements and examiuo eaoh of
them. Nor do we think it necessary. Every at?
tentive reader of his reply to our former article
must have risen from its perusal with this con?
viction at least, that the honors bestowed on Una
by muniotpal bodies in this country were singu?
larly misapplied. We are content to let Ins car
reer from 1826 to 1846 go to the public on this own
argument without adding . wor\h* "V??.
joinder. Rut with regard to Jus
the Government of bis country, a more though
Ute uovernmc d ??B we purpose to give
r?SerS-i.? Standing, of the
before the event in question.
There are and have been in V euezuela two.
,-ties tbe one known as the Ltbersl, the other
J*uajly distinguished as Oligarchic. The farmer
has for its fundamental principle a strict ad?
herence to the Constitution, whi'.his a democratic
instrument i tbe latter, under the guwo of Con?
servatism, aims at tbe limitation and circumscrip?
tion of the rights of the people and the keeping
of the Government in tl*Q hands of its own few
leaders, chief among whom is Gen. Paez. Of
course this party haa not been sparing in its ca
hunniei upon its opponent. Agrarian, anarctust,
etc. have been common epithots.
A Presidential election took place in H47. Q?n.
Paez says that bo sustained from h-MOfe. a Gaudi
