FROM THE MOBILE (ALA.) ADVERTISER OF APRIL ~.
Evidence that the PEOPLE of the South opposed to the
Southern Convention scheme, unwise and impoc, is
crowdng upon us daily from all quarters We have from
the first believed il originated in improper motives the first OF
which was embarrass the administration OF Gen. Taylor
and the second establish Southern Confederacy These
were the leading motives. We do not pretend say that all
who advocate the Convention acuaed by these moVes
but we do believe that the orgnators acuated by
more worthy or patriotic considerations. Thus believing
and not being able any necessity for such Convention
prior to any ACT Of aggression the part of the Government
nor to conceive any possible good that could result from it.
we have steadily and earnestly opposed it, In doing So we
are now perfectly satisfied have faithfully and truly
aected the public sentiment of the South.
a.. PROM RICHMOND TIMES.
THH NASHVILLE CosvENTIos.-Since the 5th of Febru-
AIRY last has been demonstrated beyond dispute that neither
Delaware Maryland Kentucky, Missouri Tennessee, North
Carolina Georgia. Louisiana will be represented with any
adequate sanction Of popular authority at Nashville 1t Is
impossible therefore, that there be union othe whole
South in the proposed consultation, such contemplate
ed by Legislature such as will give to the acts OF the
Convention soemnity consequence.
In view of this now undeniabe fact those advocates Of
Southern rights who speak Of the failure Of the Convention
equivalent surrender Of the Southern position, seem to
us to commit most unfortunate and may be fatal error
They are making for The South issue in aotich Is ob-
ged TO so,o apparent weakness. They rest cause on
reed already broken In poor Judgment it is the part Of
true wisdom to decline the accessory measure about
which we cannot now attain unanmiy of sentiment and to
stand in perfect unednes upon principal ground OF re-
sistance to the first act of aggression.
FROM THE HILLsBoRouGH (N. CO. RECORDER
THE NASHVILLE CoNyENTIoS.-The proposition which
4 holt pGnp-
venon for the purpose of appointing four delegates with al
tenaes represent the State Of North Carolina IN the pro
posed Nashville Convention to have resulted IN COM
pete failure. The 18th day this month appointed for the
meeting Raleigh but appears that no response was me- De
by the people, We eanfom the Raleigh papers five
or six delegates from of the lower counties, only were in
attendance; and, finding present to meet them, they
left of course without attempting accomplish any thing
Conventions for the appointment of district delegates have
been held in two only Of the nine Congressional districts in
this State thus far and there appears to be little prospect Of
any further appointments. .~
very clearly appears that the people of this State are de
cidedly opposed TO the Nashville Convention They have
constitutional representatives in the Congress of the United
States and they have good hope that the important and ag
tang matters which have long disturbed the tranquility Of
the States will be by them adjusted to restore har
ony the Union Until this hope shall prove to be futile
they will withdraw their confidence to place upon
evolutionary assembly poweress only for evil. We think
there is evidence that this is the prevailing sentiment through
out all the Southern States. ~. '...
