NASHVILLE CONVENTION

We envy those who were COOKERS on" in Nash
ville Monday last. The delegates, so WELCOME
to the city Of Nashville, must have gone BOLDLY
to their work, if, indeed, any had the herdhood
to be seen vending their way to that city. We
presume, however, few over-zealous gentry sa-
criced The claims Of home and resolving to de-
vote short time 10 the WANING rights of the
South,repalred to Nashville. They will no doubt,
assemble in Convention and make 'smuch ado
about nothing" They will even dare to usurp
the power still held by the people of the South.
and which no minority assemblies can ever del
egate;reserve to themselves the power to speak for
the South; and they may even menace the North.
For ourselves, we feel some anxiety to hear from
Nashville. We believe we are in the majority,
and yet we have not exactly learned the objects

Il Ted OF the Convention will be the KEY 10 its

Convention will much resemble the report of
distinguished Virginia Senator--a report, with
which, the Democracy frequently ,wit the Wing
party, and which has been ironically styled a
sample of Wing clearness and precision.
