AN EXCELLENT SUBsTITUTE.-Ano old cler- gyman was in the habit, as soon as he got into the pulpit, of placing his sermon in a crevice under the cushion, where he left il during the singing of the accustomed psalm One Sunday he pushed the sermon book too far into the crevice, and lost it. When the psalm was concluded he called the clerk 10 bring him Bible. The clerk, somewhat astonished at this unusual request, brought him Bible as he was desired. The clergy. man opened it, and thus addressed his con. gregation: "My brethren, l have lost my sermon; but will read you chapter in Jot worth ten of it."

B. c. Crump, Esq, Sheriff of Crttenden, which substantiates our statement respect ing our correspondent 'P.'
 The late Elections for the Nashville
 Convention.
 It seems rather strange, at the first blush, remarks the New Orleans Bulletin, that up- on question involving, as we are told, the destinies of the Southern States, that there is not one of them in which the people can be aroused to sense of their imminent dan- ger. They have been implored, mportun- ed and menaced to take some action against Northern aggression; and yet the people ob- stinately and provokingly seem determined to act for themselves and to wait for the crisis which has been for so long a time threatened, before they will resort to the extreme remedy-disunion.
 In one of the slavery States, at least, an effort has been made to give the people a free representation, and we believe the only one--Georgia. The Legislature of that State resolved that the voters in each Con- gressional district should be required to vote for delegate to the Nashville Convention, and the Governor accordingly issued his proclamation inviting the people of that pat rlotic State to assemble on the first Monday in April, and vote for delegates. The spirit with which they responded to this execu- tive pronunciamento, may be inferred from the informal returns that have been unofi. cially promulged. The press have been i'm portuning the Governor to give the official returns of the votes boiled, and to declare, under the authority of the great seal of the State, according to the ancient usage, the elected candidates. But Gov. TowNs turns deaf ear to all such invocations, and he will do no such thing. A smart shrewd man is that same Georgia Governor, and the last one to disparage his party by exposing its weakness; he well knows that no creden- tials, officially signed, will be required to gain admission to that august assembly, for all who present themselves will be freely welcome. There will be room enough and to spare, and formal certificate of election may be safely dispensed with
 And yet Georgia will be as popularly and faithfully represented in the Convention as any other Southern State; how full this re- presentation will be, may be inferred from this ascertained fact, that not one-third of the counties in the State voted, and that the aggregate of the entire vote in the ninety one or two voting counties does not equal the voters of one of the large counties. This, we should say, is sufficiently significant of public sentiment in that State, and what we say ofGeorgia may be said of every other South ern State. It is the politicians, and not the people, who are agitating this question, and who are getters-up of this Convention, and in that body, if it ever does meet, there will not be single delegate who can truthfuly avow himself as the representative of the people.

From the Brandon, (Miss.) Republican.

Could the motives of those who first re- |commended the convention at Nashville be fathomed and fully exposed to the American people, what burst of indignation would
 issue from every spot within our borders-
 from the frozen regions of the North to the
 sunny shores of the Rio Grande. And how
 would the millions rise in their strength, and
 hurl to everlasting infamy those restless and ambitious spirits who have calculated
 the value of the Union, and are ready "to
 SeH at for mess Of pottage;" and upon the
 ruins of that Union found a Southern mon- archy. What, we would ask, is the object
 of this convention, so much against the letter and spirit of our Constitution-which de-
 clares that "no State shall enter into any trea- ty, alliance or rconfederation" 1.-the object ot
 the Nashville Convention be for the eredress o1 grievances, we would ask if more effectu. |al mode could be pointed out than the action
 of the separate Legislatures, who possess
 all the organs of civil power, and the conf |dence ot the people. They can organize a
 plan of opposition, and combine the re.
 sources of the separate communities, anC protect themselves from the aggressions ol |any outward foe.
 One of our Representatives, A. c. Brown !upon the floor of Congress declared that "the South had calculated the ualue Of tht
 Union" Dare he stand before the sovereign
 people and name tie estimate set upon thi, priceless gem2 Would he point to the aggressions of the North? Let him name
 one single act, other than words, which should induce the South 10 sever the bonds Iof Union, prosperity, and power which are alike the hope and admiration of the world A Southern monarchy would sool decline, and anarchy and wretchedness would usurp the place of order, happiness and prosperity

Crittenden County.

We received day or two since second communication from our correspondent P, of Crittenden county, on the subject of the charge made by the True Issue that his first communication was written by a Whig of Phillips county; but as there seems at pre- sent no disposition to doubt the accuracy of our statement, that the author is promi- nent and influential member of MT. John sons own party, Ca Democrat,) slave hold CT and cotton planter, we will not publish the last communication unless doubts are again expressed or intimated respecting the correctness of that statement. We howev- CT give the closing paragraph of the com municaton, as an indication of the feeling in that county, among both parties, respect ing the Southern Convention. The author says:
 "I can assure you that in this county, Mere ere no Disamionists-AI4L, ALL, Whigs and Democrats alike, agree ua their disapproUal of Me grounds assumed 6y Nr Johaason u his Address"
 We have likewise received a letter from B. c. Crump, Esq, Sheriff of Crttenden, which substantiates our statement respect ing our correspondent 'P.'
