In Nashville have stated the Southern Convention

On the other hand the Wings of Richmond also repuda
ted the Southern Convention bat they eagerly voted for the
secession resolutions OF Judge Robertson y such totally

The Shepherdstown (vifeina) Register Wtig) agrees
with The Nashville men; they take the right ground
