NASHVILLE CONVENTION. In tho Baltimore Sun wo find the following resolution reported by tho comm:ttco to whom the whole matter wns referred. 7heso resolutions were unanimously adopted on tho seventh day: T\\c first resolution states that tho territories of the United States belong to #lisi nnm^ln nf (lm i-rti'nro 1 .Qf ilfnc n? flmit* common property?that the citizens of the several States had equal right to migrate with their property to those territories, and should ho protected in the enjoyment of that property, so long as the territories remain under charge of that government. The second resolution sets forth that Congress has no power to exclude from the territor of the United States property lawfully belonging to States of the Union, and any act wrich may be passed by Congress to effect this result, is a plain I'lnlnfinn r\C (lio ^AnclShitiAn nf TTniJn/1 States. Third, Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to provide a government for territories, since the spirit of American institutions forbids the maintenance of military government in time cf peaee, and all law's heretofore existing in territories once belonging to foreign powers, which interfere with full enjoyment of religion, freedom of the press, trial by jury, and all other rights of persons or property, as secured or rccognnised in courts of the United States, arc necessarily void, so soon as such territories become American territory. It is the duty of the federal government to make early provisions for the enactment of those laws which may be expedient and neces Biiry to secure to the inhabitants and emigrants to such territories the full benefit of their constitutional rights Fourth. Resolved, That to protect property existing in the several States of the Union, the people of these Stales invested the Federal Government with powers of war nnd negotiation and of sustaining armies and navies; and to prohibit to State authorities the exercise of the same powers, they made no discrimi nation in the protection of the property to be defended, nor was it allowed to the Federal Government to determine what should be held as property; whatever in the States is known as property, government is bound to recognize and defend as such. Therefore, it is the senso of this convention, that all acts of the Federal Government which tend to denationalize property of any description, recognised in the constitution and laws of the Suites, or that discriminate in the degrees of the efficiency of the protection to l>c afforded to it, or weaken or destroy the title of any citisen upon American territory, arc plain and palpable violations of the fundamental laws under which it exists. Fifth. Resolved, That the slave holding States cannot and will not submit to ihe enactment by Congress of any law imposing onerous conditions or restraints to remove with their property into the Territories of the United States; making discriminations in favor of other property against them. Sixth. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Federal Government plainly to* recognise and firmly to maintain the equal rlnl,!. -?: * 1 " ' vi inu viukviih 01 wic scverni oiaiea in the Territories of the United States, and to repudiate the power to make n discrimination between tho propietors oi different species of property in theFeberal legislation. The fulfilment of this duty by the Federal Government would greatly tend to restore the peace of the government itself. Seventh. Resotved, That the performance of this duty is required by the fundamental law of the Union?the equality of the several States composing the Union r -mot be disturbed without disturbing cho fame of the American institution: ?this principle is violated in the citizens of the slaveholding States, if power t< enter the territories with the property lawfully acquired bo denied?the warfare against this right is a war upon the Constitution, and tho defenders of this right are defenders of tho Constitution. Eighth, lle&olved, That in the performance of its duties, upon tho princi pic we declared, it would enable Congresi to remove the embarrassments in whicl the country is now involved. The vacan territories of tho United States, no longei regarded as prizes for sectional rapacitj and ambition, wo'dd be gradually occu pied; the inhabit;, ts drawn to them bj their interests and feeing; institutioni fitted to them would be naturally applied a government formed on American ideai approved by their constituents. Ninth. Resolved, Thit a recognition 01 this principle would deprive the question! between Texas and the United States o fllO oar* 4 J * t * ? ?i?v ov/vbiuuoi una would IGftV( t m for adjustment without dis' turbance from sectional prejudice ant] passions upon considerations of magnanimity and justice. Tenth. Resolved, That a recognition ol tins principle would infuse the spirit o! condition into the discussion nndadjustmci. of all questions in dispute, and woulu afford a guarantee of an early and ftatisfnetory termination. Eleventh, Retolvcd, That in tho event of a dominant majority, who shall refuse to recognize the constitutional right we assert, and continue to deny the obliga| *, tions of the federal government?to maintain them it is the sense of this Convention that the territories should be divided and treated as property, and divided between the sections of the Union as il !_Li. _ r L.iL * | me ngnus 01 uom sccuun?, ttnu quately secured in their respective shares; that we arc aware, this course is open to great objections, but we are rchdy to acquiesce in the adoption of the line 30 30 North latitude, extending to the Pacific ocean, an extreme concession upon the considerations of what is due to the stability of our institutions. Twelvth. Resolved, That it is the opinion of this convention this controversy should be ended, either by the recognition of tho constitutional rights of the Southern people, or bj' nn equitable partition of the territories; that the spectacle of a confedarcy of the States involved in quarrels over inc iruits 01 a war in which the American arms were crowned with glory is humiliating; that the incorporation of tlio Wilmot Proviso in tho ofter of a settlement is a proposition which the (Southern States regard as disparaging and dishonorable, is degrading to this country; the termination of this controversy by tho destruction of the confederacy would be a climax to the shame which attaches to the controversy, which it is the paramount duty of Congress to avert. Thirteenth. Resolved That this Convent'.cn willnot concede that congrcss wil adjourn without making an adjustment of this controversy. ANOTHER PROPHET. The following curious statement is made in a reccnt letter of the regular Paris correspondent of the London Atlas: "Wonders will never cease in Paris.? A discovery which ha* been made of an extraordinary individual living at the 13arrierc d'Eufe, and who proclaims himself to the world as the heir and successor of Jesus Christ, has created the greatest curiosity among the miraclehunters of our capital. This man is a peasant of the name of Perimond, about live and forty years of age, of simple and unpretending manners and homely speech lie is, however, under some oxtrao dinary magnetic influence, for he has cured, by the effect of his touch alone, many hundreds of persons who have been to visit him. lie receives all strangers who seek him with the greatest simplicity, disclaims any credit for the wondrous miracles he performed, tnorcly repeating the assurance of his appointment by the Saviour, who appeared to him in adieam, to go forth to the world to testify to the truth of the Gospel. He is of short stature, and of full and expressive countenance. His hair, parted on the forehead, descend on either side of his temples.

Many people worthy of belief have told me that there is no delusion about this. The hands and feet are pierced through and through, and the wound in tho side is ? about two inches long, and very deep; , that they have seen tho blood ooze from , those wounds slowly and drop by drop [ for hours together during the past week, . and that during all this time Perimond remains AThmmtixl nn liio V>n/1 no U ...?

On his head he wears . a white linen turban of the Jewish form. , He carries no ornament on his person . save a gokl clasp, which fastens the band to which his waist is confined. Tjic police have been most active in causing the strictest investigations to be made into j the history and antecedents of tho man; j but as yet nothing lias been discovered t which can in any *vaa serve as excuse r for molesting hira. All that is known is r the fact lie has recently arrived frGuj .

No f trace of his parentage has ever been dis} covered. IIo never stirs abroad, and disf courages all meet i ?gs or assemblies at his , hous; therefore t o authorities of Paris . have nought to do in this case. Several I physicians of eminence have already vis. itea him; but none have as yet been able to solve tho mystery of tho long fast and [ bleeding. Dr. C?, tho great anatomist, f after remaining two hours in his room last Friday, left in despair, declaring, with an oath, that the juggle was too well managed for discovery, like that of the ecstatic virgins of the Tyrol, remains a mystery still."

Nkw Di8TiunimoN of Parties.?The following, from the Natchez Free Trader, is as true as it is pithy. We commend it to the attention of the folks at Washington, and shall be glad to know, at their earliest convenience, to which of the four parties they belong, as a system of classification is comparatively useless unless we know where to place the individuals. We have been permitted to copy the following torse extract from a letter to one of our members in Congress; There appoars to bo two parties in congress". 1st, a party from tho South who wish to cut their own throats. 2d. A party at the North who do not wish the people of the South to cut their own throats, but prefer doing the job for them. 3d, A party from the Noith, who arc willing that the people of the South may cut their own throats. 4th, A party at the South, who do not intend to cut their own throat*, or let any one else do it for them. This last party have tho other three against them, and they will have to ex- j | ert great, energy to save their jugulars.-? Char. .A/crcury. Wifk of Gknbral Jackson.?The inAuehce of this woman over her husband is said to have been veiy extraordinary. She was of obscure origin and uneduca ted. Yet she inherited from nature those fine and noble traits of her sex to such perfection her power and fascinations were very great* General Jackson was attached to her in early life, but by somo means or other the matter was interrupted and she married another, who proved a villian and the connection most unhappy. General Jackson again became interested in her> the conscqucnce was a divorce, when he was married to her. Sho is said to have possessed none of those accomplishments that are sup' posed to adorn fashionable fife; reared in the bachwoods, seeing and knowing little of elegant and refined society. Yet her fine person, strong affections, and good sense, the three great essentials of a woman, enabled her lo take hold with irrcBistable force tho passions of tho bold, turbulent, strong and fiery warrior and statesman to whom she was wedded. It was the lion held in the embrace of the fawn. The influence she excrciscd is said to have bordered on the suporstitious. Ho imagined that no power or acta of his could succeed, or be carried out, averse to her will or in opposition to her feelings. She seemed his guardian angel by day and by night; holding in her hands his life, nis fate, iiia all. An intimate friend of his says, that so long as he Jived he wore her miniature near his heart, and never alluded to her except i(i a manner so subdued and full of reverence, that the listener was deeply impressed with her transcendnnt worth.? Exeter Newsletter. i Laws of Hkalth.?Children should i be taught to uso the left hand as well as l tl\A Coarse bread is much better for children than fine. Children should sleep in separate beds and should not wear night-caps. Children under seven years of age ' should not be confined over si* or soven hours in the house?and that time should be broken by frequent recesses. Children and ym?ng people mxlst be made to hold their heads up afid shoulders ha",k while standing, sitting, or walkj ing. Th? best beds lor children nro. of hair, or, in winter, of hnir and cotton. From one to one pound and ft half of solid food is sufficient for a person in the ordinary vocation of business. Persons in sedentary employments should drop one-third of their food, and they will es* cnpo dysp'jJ'na. Young ie .sons should walk at least two hours ft day in the open air. Young ladies should be urevented from bandaging the chest. We have known I thrco can03 of insanity terminating hi in death which begun in tins practice. Every person, great nnd small, should wash ail over in cold water every morning , . Reading aloud is conducive to health. The more clothing wo wear, other things being equal, the less food wc need. (S'leeping-ro mis should have a fire place, or some mouo 01 ventilation besides I he windows. Young people and others cannot study much by lamp-light with impunity. The best remedy for eyes weakened by night use. is a a fine stream of cold water frequently applied to them,? London Lvncct. An Irishman's Indifference.?Paddy, who was arraigned before a court for horse stealing, after having pleaded not guilty, thejudge asked him by whom he would be tried. 'By the twelve apostles,' answered the. nrisonnr. Thn indcrn him that would not do, for if ho was tried by thorn ho could not have his trial till day of judgement. 'Faith,' says Paddy, 'and I have no objection to that neither, for I am in no hurra abont it at all, at all. Don't forget it, for it is a fact, that ninety-nine hundredths of all the finery with which tho ladies decorate their persons, go for nothing, as husdnnd catching is concerned. Think, of that, sugarplums!
