 | NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
 l We have a letter from our junior, dele gate to Nashville, from which we extract what follows:
 ] NASHVILLE, Aug. 15, l94O.
 Dear ir:-We reached her in safety, af- ter fatiguing journey over heavy roads, made so by late rains. From Louisville to Nashville every thing is political; there is great enthusiasm along the whole road in ta- vor of Harrison. Even on "Salt river" we found many hard cider boys ready to trans port the spoilers to is head waters. Ken- lucky is proud of her recent victory, and well she may be. We saw log cabin built on the top of tree, with it's cider barrel, latch string, &c. Great changes are still ta- king place-even post masters are coming over One, at whose door the stage stopped, inquired if MT. Clay would be along. saying, "I have done that man great injustice, and wish to take him by the hand and tell him so" ." 1 This has been a proud day for Mr. Clay -one of the proudest of his life. His entry into the city this afternoon was truly mag nifcent. Met mile or more from town by several military companies and citizens on horseback and in carriages, in all about l5OO, he entered amidst the sound of martial music, the roar of cannon, the ringing of bells and the shouts of many thousands.
 At the Mayors house this afternoon, most beautiful flag with a good likeness of Gen. Harrison, on one side, and a log cabin being built on the other, was presented to the Harrison Guard of the city, by young lady. She addressed the company in manner highly creditable to herself, and the ladies she represented. The ceremony was interesting. ---.l--- ,..
 About Sunset, the GREAT OHIO BALL arrived in steamboat. An immense crowd l ffocked to the wharf, to receive the present. It is an object of great curiosity-and much anxiety had been expressed to see it. as
 The city is already crowded with stran- gers. Large delegations are here from Lou isiana, Mississippi, Alabama. Kentucky, East Tennessee, sc. By Monday morning the adjoining counties will pour in their thou- sands. What change is here! Ten years ago it was hardly safe to name Clay. Harri- son or Webster, except in terms of abuse Now, at the hour of midnight, l hear the sound of the drum, the cannon, and the loud and repeated hurra for Old Tip, and for Clay; and nothing is thought or heard of the " second section"
 Mr Clay staid at the springs last night He inquired of Dr. McNairy what Felix Grundy was about! "Travelling through East Tennessee, defending the Administra- tion,' was the reply. "Ah (says MT. Clay) Felix is a: his old business-dsending crimi. | nals.'' ... THE SOUTH WESTERN CONVENTION.
 This great Convention was attended, it is oaid, by no loss than 3O,OOO persons. The Nashville Whig contains a glowing de- scriptiOn of the ceremonies and speeches. The annexed remarks arc from the Nash vile Banner. -.
 THE CONVENTION. -'
 We shall have to content ourselves with very few remarks this morning on the all-engrossing subject of the Convention. The number has been variously estima- ted. Several gentlemen were present who attended the Young Mems Convention at ] Baltimore, and all concurred in the opinion that this was the largest. MT. Clay expres- sed the same opinion in his speech. The reception of this gentleman, we are sure, was all that he or his friends could desire. With the exception of the welcome tender ed Lafayette, no public man ever met with a more f1attering reception in Nashville.- The concourse of citizens who went out to meet him was very large, and he came into the city amidst the firing of cannon, the ringing of bells and the enthusiastic shouts of thousands of frcemen. ...... The Convention organized yesterday at 12 o'clock. The Hon. Ephraim H. Foster of this State was chosen to preside over it's deliberations, aided by a Vice President se- lected from each of the States represented in the Convention. After an appropriate and eloquent address from the President of the day, Mir. Clay arose amidst the cheers of the vast multitude before him. We need not say he was most eloQuent-most im- pressive. What we particularly admired was the general tone of kindness and good feeling which characterized the whole of his remarks. His allusions to Gen. Jackson were couched in the most respectful lan- guage-such as distinguished individuals, like himself and Gen. Jackson, should al- ways observe when speaking of each oth- CT. With the hope that MT. Clay may be induced to furnish a copy of his speech for publication, we forbear further comment for the present Speeches were also made by Judge Hopkins of Alabama, Mir. Mc- Pherson, of Arkansas, MT. White of India na, Mr. Hogan of Illinois, and Judge Under wood of Kentucky. MT. Crittendcn, MT. Peyton, Gov. Gayle of Alabama, and other gentlemen will address the Convention to- day. .o eI .aae-..7 ,. .... ,.- ... ..~ We have said that gentlemen who atten- ded the Baltimore Convention unheSitating- ly express the opinion that the number of citizens assembled on that occasion was ex- ceeded by the number present yesterday How many there were yesterday, we shall
