NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

The proposed Nashville Convention may now,
we presume, be regarded as dream of the past.
Condemned by popular opinion-by the opinion,
we mean, of majority Of the intelligent citizens
in every State in the Union save one, ariice has
indeed been resorted TO in number of districts in
the other Southern States to give apparent strength
to the project by partial gatherings of its favorers,
in the very districts in which the project has been
voted down in full county meetings-as in the case
of Albemarle county and Richmond city in Vir-
ginia-undertaking to send minority Delegates to
Nashville. A Convention so composed, in whole or
in part, would of course be without any authority,
should gentlemen be found bold enough to repair to
Nashville under such commissions. 1t can hardly
be doubted that such Convention would cover
itself with ridicue. Wholly unauthorized, even
the high personal character of some of the Dele
gates Tins constituted would not protect them
against the comparison of their position with that
of the Ruckerites, called in some years ago to exc
out the objects of the Baltimore Convention.
We probably should not have again introduced
the Nashville Convention into our columns, did we
not feel it to be our duty place before the Public
the subjoned evidences of sound public sent-
ment in the two Democratic Southwestern States of
Arkansas and Texas which we offer to our readers
as some proof that, so far from being unanimous,
the sentiment of hostility to the Union in these two
States, SoktA-and-aH South as they are, is not the
sentiment of the body of the People in either Of
fhose StataS r.

Van buren,, ARKANSAS, APRIL "a, 1850.
MEssRs. GALES q SEAToN: AS you appear not
to be very well advised in regard to public senti
ment in the State of Arkansas in reference to the
value of the Union, permit me to say to you that
there is aos State In the Confederaey more deuot
edty attached to tie Onion than 4rkansas. There
is little or no excitement on the slavery question
The People trouble themselves but little in regard
to the Wmot Proyiso. 1t is true they think it
ought not to be passed by Congress; but they are
for the U1aion, should it be passed fifty times over
The character and feelings of our people are COOL
calculating, and patriotic, and they can never be
brought to think Of dissolution of the Union as a
remedy for any of our evils, present prospec-
tive. This, | venture to say, is the sentiment of
ninety-nine in hundred of our people. Set
down Arkansas as for the Union & now and for
