NASHVILLE CONFERENCE.-The election for De-

abortion. From present appearances the whole

Of our strongest counties. GEORGIA will therefore
probably be unrepresented, should the Convention
be held, which, by the way, we do not think pro-
bable. Even in MISSISSIPPI, which originated
the measure, public meetings are recommending
that shall not take place, under the apparent pro-
liabilities of the settlement by Congress of the
question upon which the Convention was to de-
liberate. From all appearances, we reiterate our
impression that no Nashville Convention wiH be

EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.

We perceive by the Western papers that thou
sands of men, women, and children are making
preparations to leave by the first of June, by the
overland route to California. Almost every village
or hamlet will send forth its hundreds.
The Detroit Advertiser says that not less thar
5000 men have already made arrangements t.
leave the State of Michigan for California, and an
ticipates much pecuniary inconvenience therefrom
to those who remain.

NORTH CAROLINA.

In this State (says the Raleigh Register) we
think we may confidently assert that delegates to
the Nashville Convention will be appointed from
but three Of the nine Congressional districts, at the
outside and that none will be authorized to re-
present the State at large. In the district repre-
scented by Mr.. VENABLE, the only two counties
that have thus far made any expression Of their
sentiments Chatham and Granville) have express
sed themselves as opposed to the Southern Con-
vention. We think ourselves safe in the state
ment that most Of the leading public men, Of either
party, in the State, are opposed to the movement.

The Richmond Whig, commenting upon the
evident design of some Of the loud-mouthed Draw
lers about Southern rights" &c. to make politi-
cal capital on. of the present state of things and to
distract and weaken the people Of the South, so that
their partisan schemes may prevail, remarks that
these people must excuse the Wings, who have
some personal interest in the institution Of slavery,
besides regard for their party, if they do not
cooperate actively with them in their game of agi-
tation and discord. 1t is very plain that many do
not desire the union Of the South half so much as
they do the ascendency of the Locofoco party.
Certainly, Wings do not expect to be called upon
as Wings to assail General Taylors Admnistra-
ton and the Wing party, and to bolster up Locofo-
coism, under the pretext of protecting Southern
rights. And they will not do it. They will know
how TO maintain and vindcate the rights of the
South by their action, and, at the same time sup
port the patriotic and noble old President now al

CALIFORNIA

The New Orleans Crescent Of the 9th instant
says: "California ought to be, or ought not to be-
admitted into the Union as State. The question
as to her admission is not necessarily or legiti'
mately connected with the question of slavery, as
between the North and the South. In expressing
the opinion that California should be admitted al
once Just as she presents herself, and without con-
nexion with any of the questions now eliciting SO
much discussion in Congress and throughout the
country, we still have no doubt that we express
the sentiments entertained by a very large majority
of the citizens Of Louisiana"
