the last NASHVILLE WnIa notices the
disunion movements in South Carolina with
the adherence that belongs TO 1t, and says,
whatever may be the feelings and Intentions
of Folks notification supporters, the great
body of the people of Tennessee will give
no countenance TO such infamous sentiments.
1t would seem, however, that there are dis
unonists even in Tennessee, for we find
the following call for public meeting, to
express the indignation of the citizens at the
atrocions attempts:
Public Meeting.-Thc citizens of Davidson county
are requested TO meet at the Court House in this city,
on Saturday, the 29th inst, at two O'clock to enter
thelr solemn protest against the Dissertation Of the
soil OF Tennessee, by any set of men who are dis
posed to sever our glorious Confederacy, who pro.
pose to hold Mass Convention in this city for that
purpose. 3J All who 90 for the WHOLE UNION,
and nothing short of its perpeuity and honor, are ear
nestly requested TO attend on Saturday next
The " COURIER" says of the above:
Such we trust will be the feeling in every portion
OF the country as soon as the contemplated treason
becomes known. The ring leaders are evidently very
much disconnected by the premature development
of their plans in South Carolina. and the most urgent
orders have gone on from Washington, 10 back out
as far as possible from the bull wing resorted to at
Beaufort and other notification hot beds and to keep
quiet at present. The proper period has not yet arr
we'd, and the plot must remain in the dark, till the
leaders have time to make better and more mature
organization. They need not trouble themselves !;
their efforts at conceamcnt will do them no good (;
Tor their namy is well known, and has been for n
long time 1t is just well, therefore, to throw off
all disguise and 90 openly and al once TO work. Get
up their Southern republic if they can and make Mr..
Calhoun President forthwith They will gain moth

perfectly understood and whatever they may pretend
TO do now, or Whatever amount of hypocrisy they
may assume hereafter, will not make the least differ
rnce IN the world in the opinion entertained of them.
They are known to be DESTROYS of Remembering the
Union and known to have acted with the sole view
10 that nbomnable consummaon for years.

And above all, don't trust man who has al
ways been foe to protection, and who was
nominated by free trade faction, on ac-
count of any pre.cnces, which he ,rumps up
at the eve of election. Such stuff from free
trade abstraciionist, would be easily explain
cd away, if he got into the chair of State,
and his protection would prove just what it
has always been, no protection at all.
Jem Folks friendship for protection is an
idea which will not flourish here in Vermont,

ILL OMEN.

Last Friday, after the little Polk sapling
had been hosted up TO its unnatural eeva.
ton at the summit of the old hickory, and
stood like its prototype, wondering at It's sud-
den and unexpected rise in the world, all at
once great rafting was heard on the square,
and the little poke stalk was seen slipping
through the rings which vainly sought to pre-
vent its fall down to the earth beneath,
when, but for the firm clay at the bottom it
must have tumbed ANONYMOUSLY upon its
back. This however sustained it, and after
halling for moment, it slowly settled over
to an angle of forty-Gve degrees, where it
stood until new rope was fastened round
the top of old hickory, again rescued it from
the humiliating position to which its natural
gravitation had consigned it.
The believers in chronology looked sorry
enough, and we could not but wish that their
prophet had witnessed the catastrophe.
1t was decidedly a case of" providential
dspensa,lon," over which he would have
goaled with all his usual blasphemous exul-
tation, had it befallen any body but the sim
less democracy.
We trust he has been written to.
give invite attention to the call for a
County Convention on the 3lst which an.
pears to-day
We trust it will be met in the true spirit,
by grand rally of the patriotic Wings of the
County.
Hon. George p. Marsh will be present,
and it is hoped that Hon. Solomon Foot, of
the first District will also be in attendance.
