In Louisiana, resolutions recommending the
people to send delegates 10 Nashville, were pass
ed BY the Senate, but in the House of Repre-
sentatves, they we're stoutly opposed, and were
postponed fiom week 10 week, and finally the
legislature adjourned without any action upon
them. It is doubtful whether the people move
in the matter.
In Arkansas, we are not able 10 state what
has been done with reference to the Nashville
Convention, but our impression is that repre-
sentation has been secured in some mode or 9TH
er.
In Missouri, the Legislature adopted very
strong Southern resolutions, which Mr. Benton
charged had their origin in Cahounism, but
nothing was said about the Nashville conven-
ton, and we are not aware that the people have
nny where manifested desire TO be represent
ed.
In Kentucky, proposition in favor OF the
convention was introduced into one OF the H0u-
SEES, but it was never brought 10 vote, ana was
permitted to die natural death. In few Of
the counties, the project u electn5 delegates
has been mooted but the scheme is generally
discountenanccd, and there is no probability that
she will be represented.
In Tennessee, the State which was expected
to welcome the convention to her bosom, the
House OF Representatives adopted resolution
requesting the Governor to appoint two dele'
gates to tile Nashville Convention for the State,
and two for each Congressional district, and rec"
ommendng the people of each chahty 10 ap'
point one or two more The Senate Oh the 9TH
or hind. pissed resolution declaring 1t to be
no part of their delegated trusts TO aid IN organ.
Il izng Southern, Ur dny other convention, and
referring the whole matter to the people. Inc
probability nov u that the whole people OF Ten
nessee will not do more than their Legislature
IN approving the convention. 1t is represented
BY the New Orleans Crescent, an lndepcndant
paper. that the people of Nashville have such
repuynance to the meeting of The Convention III
their midst that neither the state Capitol mol
any of the churches will be granted for Its SIT
ungs.

yentiou is received in GONE quarters take TN;
