"A conven ion should be called to form a party to 'stablislh a creed.' The Report says: "The National Era continues its C areer. Many subscribers live in slave States, and a hundred exchange papers p ire sent every week into that part of t he country.' "The New York lvening Post is entitled to the especial a .onntdecncc and support of anti.slavery c non.'

We congratulate the South on the po. ition assumed by the Nashville con. ention. The recent acts of spoliation y congress are repudiated, the right of ecession is asserted, a congress of the outhern Sta:es is proposed, and the ights of the South proclaimed-in the Jnion it possimle; it not, they must be reserved. The convention has acted wisely, idthfully and firmly. It has refuse(d to ubmit to the late stupendous attempt of ,ongress to sacrifice one section of the ountry to the power of the other. The onvention has treated with the contempt hey merit the pretences and excuses ssigned for the deed, and have called n the States of the South to take council gether in a Congress of delegates rep. esenting their sovereign character. The South will now profoundly in. estig-ite all the elements of her coidi. on and destiny. She will examine ie principles of her domestic safety, or social prosperity and her political reatness. She will choose between ae alternatives of waiting to defend her I resides, or acting now for the advance f a mighty system to empire. She >oks from her farms and plantations on e Atlantic and Mississippi to the gold. n land of California, the dominion of 1i Pacific and the commerce of the ast, and will determine whether she Pill assert her right to wealth and ower, or whether she will bow down > the aggressor for a brief and uncer. )in respite from the the fate of Jamaica nd Saint Domingo before her. 'These uestions will awaken the thoughts and ltut6n h CS. o th r ;rundo, from the slores oiI' Y Of Mlexico ever blooming with summer, to there the Missouri pours his icy flood rom the trackless plains and mountains f the West. The South will trend the westward ath of empire hand in hand withtheN. the Pacific, or she will tread it alone. 'he clements of a great continental epic ro in action, which none but a Milton r.uld sing, and greater than ever in. [tired the muse of history. The fate of actions, of institutions, of races, of con. nents, of seas and islands, of civiliza. on and of liberty, is involved. Let us ape that the struggle will be a moral ne, worthy of the age, worthy of the rinciples, worthy of the conseq'uences. et us employ in the conflict the reason ad the virtues of our race, and the tele. raph, the post, the press and the ballot. ax-not the arguments of cannon and feharging squadrons on fields of smoke : ad slaughter. But the argument must a made, and every state and son of the outm are called on to do their duty. It is a great era-greater if po.sible rian that of the )Revolution-greater in s causes and in its consequences. he South summons her rising sons to reatness and to flame: summons them v the voices of her sages, Tazewell id Cheves, and Troup) and Lumpk in, le mn who have transmitted to this r'neration from the last the electric fire F liberty and of genius.

It is a subaject of gratulation to every true iend of the South, that there hase at lastc DCn formed, a party, whose end and aimi is ae defence of Southern R ighats. WVe say, at last,'' because it is tho first time in the istoiry of the piarny straiggles of a half cen try, that a political organlization has been 1asedl on the single, great .tid patriotic rinciples of Sout hero deafenice. Hereto re,C the Federal Government, its honoirs I tnd emiolunments, have been the Mecca on 1 bIich piarties and partisans htave steadilyi xed thaeir gaze for their rewards and pun. hmanents.

This party has already, achieyed itthfirst great triumph-it has brok tt the old political organizations of Southemn Whig gery and Democracy, in the dust andlbeat f whose conflict,, inestimable prindiples, ad interests vital to both, have been for ;otten. The Southern Rights party already nnhraces in its patriotic ranks the masses >f the Old Democratic party, and a highly espectable minority of the old Whig par y. Standing out against it, as yet, but con to join it, under the certain pressure )f Northern agggression, are the majority )f the old Denocratic party. From these ast, the ranks of the Southern Rights Party are to be recruited, until before two years, the South will be, as fully united as he American Colonies were. in their Ievo utionary struggle with Great Britain.
