The combat deepens. Indications nom all quarters
conclusvey show that the spirit of dscord and disunon
is the alert and appealing to every motive and every
prejudice that be supposed to influence the actions of
any section party, sect of the American people The
following teegaphc despatch, which find in the New
York Herald Of Friday, presents the phase which it
assumes in the speech OF Mr. Cheves in the Nashville
Convention That body consists Of about seventy dele
gates, representing OF the southern States We
have doubt that of the strongest men in that
body is Langdon Cheves, esq, (erroneously called
"Chever' in the despatch.) Of South Caroina--once
distinguished member Of the House OF Representa-.
tves, then its Speaker and afterwards the president OF
the Bank Of the United Statesat all times as able he
is amabe. This gentleman has long been a con-
spcuous politician, and, though seventy. five years Of
age carries moral force with him which is probably
superior to that Of any in South Carolina.

Such the tone and feeling actuating OF age

which may be expected to produce little impression
upon the members OF that convention. Mark the differ
