The Banner" alludes in very caustic terms to
the closing acts of the Convention. If that paper
truly represents the sentiments Of the people of
Tennessee on this subject as we are sure that it
does, we may readily account for the enmity to-
wards them Of multiplying correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, who, after charging Mr.. DOM
ELsoN with an obvious intention to produce dis
turbance and excite the mob in the galleries
against the Convention" denounces The whole of
the spectators and people by whom they were sur
rounded as Abolitionists, thus: b
This city is full Of Yankee merchants clerks and trades
men, who Aboitionists at heart The galleries were
full of them, and the Convention held In the South
is to be hoped will be where there neither DoSEL-
SONS nor Aboltionists to disturb their meeting.
"You will be satisfied with the proceedings Of the Con-
venon They keep Mississippi IN the lead; they assert
and vidicate the right of secession they recommend
Southern Congress- and denounce all President making
Conventions"
The language used by Mr.. DoNELsoN towards
the close of the Convention has been enormously re-
ported through the Telegraph. As stated in the
Nashville papers his expressions were: 81 pro-
nounce the attempt to cut off debate as unworthy
of the Convention !; / claim the right to enter my
protest against the unhallowed purposes of the
Convention" 1t was the repetition Of these words,
re. echoed they were by the thunderings of the
people of Tennessee assembled in the galleries"
which caused the confusion amidst which the Con-
yenton finally adjourned, without observing any Of
the formalities usual on similar occasions.
The proceedings of the Convention have SO
aroused the spirit of the Union men of Nashville
that Immediately after the Convention adjourned
call was made, which was signed by almost every
body, for great Union meeting, which was to have
been held on Saturday last.
