Gov. Brown, of Florida, has written a
replication to Senator Morton's letter on
the Nashville Convention. He explains
the italics in his printed letter, by stating
that they were made by the printer, and
not intended by himself. His letter was
sent to Senator Morton in printed form,
because it being public matter he direc-
ted the correspondence to be published
as soon as possible, and sent the letter of
the delegation and his answer Immediate
ly to the press, and then sent the printed
copies to the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress. He says. had he sup
posed Senator Morton so fastidious he
would have sent him manuscript copy.
On the subject of the difference between
him and Mr.. Morton, he says little, other
than to insist on the dangerous character
of the proposed convention, to reterate
his opposition, and to renew his declara-
ton of fealty to the Union and the con-
stitution.

DIR. WEBSTER IN PRISON DR. Web
ster had an hours interview with his fam
lily on Tuesday. The Transcript of the
I'd inst. remarks:
This unhappy man was visited in his
cell at the Leveret street Jail yesterday
afternoon by his wife and three daughters.
They were left together in the cell for a
few minutes, and words are inadequate to
describe the tragic scene that ensued.
After a brief interview the family were
conducted out of the building by private
entrance, in order to escape the caze of
the crowd which had collected around the
main door. The prisoner is said to be
tolerable calm, and to eat his meals with
a fair appetite. lie appears much the
same as before the trial. Indeed, if re-
morse for his crime, even when unde.ect.
ed, could not break him down. why should
his conviction and sentence?
The Journal of Tuesday says that the
interview, under the attending distressing
was characterised bv preaI
calmness and self-possession on The part
OF the afflicted family. DR.. Webster an.
pears quite calm, but more sensible of his
real situation. He says that he has made
his peace with his Heavenly Father and
IS reconciled to whatever fate awaits him

The NASHVILLE CoNvENTIoN.-We
take the following paragraph from the
Louisville Journal of the 9th ult
We still hear of some talk in two or
three counties about delegates from this
Stale to the Nashville Convention. Once
more, and in all kindness, we warn any
man who may go into that body, in the
pretended character of representative
from Kentucky, not to think of coming
back upon her soil. If, after the conven-
ton is over, Tennessee will not permit
him to stay within her limits, he can hang
himself or go to South Carolina.

New MEXICO AND DEsERET-In the
House of Representative OH the 4th inst,
Mr. Strong, from the COMMITTEES on elec-
lions, made report in the case of the
delegate from New Mexico, accompanied
10y resolution that 1t is ineXredient to
admit Hugh H. Smith. Esq. as a dele
gate from New Mexico. The princil al
ground of objection seems to be that his
admission would interfere with the sove-
reignty of Texas, for the reason that he
claims by his election to represent por-
ton of all the territory in dispute between
Texas and New Mexico.
Also, from the same committee, -eso-
luton that it is inexpedient to admit
Almon ". Babbitt, Esq, to seat i'll
this body as delegate from the alleged
State of Deseret The reason of this re-
solution is that it was apparent that those
ty whom MIR. Babbitt was sent did not
contemplate his admission to a seat in the
House, until some form Of government
shall have been given to them by Con-
gress.

the Representative in Congress from the

clares that his opinion is against the

ton ought 10 be held in advance of some
act of aggression on the part of the Gov
ernment- and that the appointment Of
delegates to Nashville, by the members
of the Legislature was Unauthorized, and
ought not to De respected.
MIR. Merriwether, formerly Georgia
member of Congress, has also written
letter on the subject of the convention
accepting the nomination as a delegate
on certain terms, which he specifics
First, he is uncompromisingl opposed to
any steps there preparatory TO the disso-
luton OF the Union directly or remotely,
either by its own action or recommends
tory to the States, or any portion Of them.
Second he regards the convention only
as an advisory body, without any binding
force other than what may be subsequent
ly bestowed by the people; and third, he
will insist that all propositions looking to
resistance to any action cf Congress shall
be confined within the limits of the con-
stnution as it is He expresses the hope
and the confidence that, before the day
Of the meeting of the convention shall ar
rive. the causes of discomfort will be
