The Effect.

Many limid gentlemen have been Tighten.
ed into support Of the Nashville Convention
by the representation ofits originator that q
failure would induce the North TO persist
stronger than ever ia lis sagressiots upon
the South. No correc, Judge Of hupan ma
iure, who knows anything Of the spIiugs Of
human action, would come to tina: ronclu.
sion, but still, many ,houshtless individuals
have been Influenced by The representations
referred TO. The following paragraph from
the New York Express, after referring to
the defeat Of the convention scheme in(Geor.
sia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee,
&c, shows that The effect is the very oppo
site to that predicted by the convention ul.
traists:
/" Moreover, the fact tba, the massei Of the
Southern people have frowned dow this
grand scheme Of disunion, should encourage
on the part Of Va at the North renewed sen.
timents of kindness, concilialion and ioI bear
ance. Let US in nothing be wanting in a
proper reciprocaiion OF those manifestations
of patriotism and love for the Union the
Southern people are thus giving us as a
pledge Of their determination to abide w the
Union to the last. We applaud them fos ii.
You cannot drire men into measuies--
threats will not avail. F,rmness and ccur.
age in defence of tae right will avail. while
threats will incite drfilnce. The above par.
agraph shows 10 ~ha, light the Southern
Convention is viewed in the North, and thai
the fac, Of its having been condemned by the
people will exert a favorable and kindly inilu

The Mississippi Convention.

The Nashville True Wing charges sqeci
fcally that prior to the meeting Of the Mis-
sissippi October Convention, John C. Cal.
houn addressed letter to Coi. c. S. Tapey,
a prominent Democrat, and member of the
Central meeting, held in Jackson, in May
last. The Wing s,ys tina, MIR. Calhoun ad.
vsed in that letter:
l. That Mississippi, being deeply interest.
ed should take the lead.
.. He suggests a convention Of the South
ern States.
8. That the action Of the O.,obcr conven.
ton should lie followed by action ofihe State
Legislature.
A. That he sau no hope fros, the North
hat the crisis rould probably CONE IA less
Than hreire months.
5. Upon certain events, secession was the
only remedy.
The Wkig remarka, as significant facts,
The presence Of Hon. D. Wallace, member
Of Congress from South Carol,ns, u, Jack
son, when the Convention ~ss held, aud his
invitation to a seat within The bar.
GAN these matters, says the NIcksburg
Wing, have been long we'll understood here.
IL is known that Mr.. Calhoun did write as
aforesaid to Mr.. Tapley, aud it sgenerally
