The Nashville COnventlon.-W
noticed in our last the utter failure in this Sta
Of the attempt TO enlist the people in support

that the movers in that scheme have been equs

In Virginia, it is stated that out Of nearly OIL
hundred and forty counties, only twelve a
known TO have moved in favor Of the prop
sition. In the trans-A Allegheny country u
Richmond Wing says, the only indications a
strong resolutions Of approval Of Mr.. Bealc's o
position TO the Nashville Convention. And fro
the Blue Ridge TO the Ohio there has been pr
found silence or loud dissent; not one word

In Georgia regular elections were appointed
be held throughout the State; bu, the result sho,
that little interest was felt in the matter by d
people. A paper before us shows the retur

were given in. In two others only 81 votes we
given. In three no votes were given and in 4
other four the polls were not opened. The Z
puar voice, the Augusta Chronicle says, has co
demned the Convention as premature, unnecs
sary and mischevous, at the present time.
And this we think will be the general expr'
sion every where. The crisis has not yet col
