Meeting about the Nashville Convention

1HeetWS dOOut Gte 1fUSHOAS COHCefulOU
The Enquirer has published, for two days past,
notice to the citizens of Richmond, that public
meeting will be held on Saturday evening next,
April 9th, 10 respond 10 the action of the LegiSla-
ture on the subject of The Nashville Convention.
The first call of this meeting was sent to us,
in proof-sheet, from the Enquirer office, on Monday
last, and was in the form of communication,
signed "Many Citizens" AS we did not learn
who was responsible for the article and as its sub
ject was one of serious importance, we determin-
ed not to publish it until we should be satisfied
that there was something like general desire for
the proposed meeting at the time suggested.
From such inquiries as we have been able to
make, we are persuaded that such of the commu-
nifty as have seen the notice-and there are many
who have not--have been taken somewhat by sur
prise; and we think it is the general sentiment
that the meeting should be postponed to later
day. In our humble opinion, this is subject on
which the Judgment of every constituency in the
State Should in good time, be distinctly and frank
ly spoken out. 1t is all important that the bust
ness of sending delegates to Nashville should not
be permitted to fall into the hands of rash men,
Let ZIG peOpe iHeel loSeHeT freely, anu determine
first by vote, as they have done in Abemarle, Lou
doun, Augusta and other counties whether they
wish to be represented at Nashville And if they
decide to send delegates, let them be men who can
be fully relied upon to carry out the views of the
majority.
There is undoubtedly much difference of OPT
Mon prevailing ON this subject, whilst we believe
there is none whatever as to maintaining the
Southern position of resistance to aggressive
measures Many are not satisfied that the Nash
vile Convention is designed to be the measure OF
consultation and friendly EARNING, which its advo-
Gates in the Legislature represented. They ap-
prehend some hidden purpose of ''disunion per
se,' into which they may be unconscously en-
trapped. In this state of the public mind, there
is need for discussion consideration, reflection be.
fore any public demonstration is attempted
The notice for meeting of the citizens on
subject like this, ought not to proceed from some
anonymous writer, who assumes to himself (ac.
cordng tie the common practce) the name OF
'-Many." The voters of large city cannot be
expected generally to turn out in compliance with
so indefinite an invitation. We think the move
ment has started wrong, and it would be better to
make another beginning.

THE WEBSTER CASE.

We insert to-day the solemn sentence OF Professor
Webster delivered, on Monday morning, by Chief JUS
tce Shaw.
The result of this extraordinary trial is variousy COM
mented upon by the press. The New Y ork Tribune
expresses its full conviction OF the prisoners guilt but,
being an opponent OF capital punishment, admits the
possibility that he may be innocent, and supposes the
horrible coniuncture of Dr. Parkman's turning up
alive, after Webster shall have been executed, and
things as incredible, it says have happened. But if
he webster were deep and dismal dungeon
of the State Prison at Charlestown, condemned to so
tary labor and disciplinary suffering for life the shouts
of hundred thousand rescuers would fall upon his
hour after the discovery of his innocence, and I'M
less the gates quickly opened by Executive par
don, they would be taken from their hinges by popular
Justice" The Express thinks the prisoner was found
guilty by the jury with less delberaton than became
persons charged with so important duty" Itdoes not
think upon the testimony, that murder is prouen
have been committed" and says there is at least
doubt from the evidence that the remains found in the
laboratory of DR.. Webster were those of Dr. Park
man"
The verdict (says the paper creates great sur
prise this city, where the almost universal opinion
was that Dr. Webster would be at least technically ac-
Quilted Guilty not, Dr. Webster in this affair is not
the one who suffers most"
Inc terad also states tat there IS no general DeeI
in New York that the evidence was legally strong
enough to convict DR.. Webster
In Philadelphia, too, the Evening Bulletin says the
conviction has taken the community by surprise and
nmates suspicion that there is undercurrent Of
feeling against Dr. Webster in Boston, which has at
fected all concerned upon the trial. The North Anne
rican of opinion that the of the prisoner was
singularly ll-managed. and that the opening speech
of Mr. Sohier " fatal error" it conceded all
that should have been denied"
Upon reading fuller report of Mr. Merrcks argu-
ment, our own judgment of its merits has been much
modified. He seems to have done his case full justice,
that he too chary of impeaching the evidence
of Littlefeld.

BRANDRETH'S PILLS, AND THE BODYS
WASTE-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth the Brandrethan System, we would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the rami-
hcatons of the system, not only impars strength and
connuaes life but actually forms and builds up
each and every part of the animal machine. 1.-THE
blood therefore is pure and healthy, the body which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But there be in any part of the body any affection such
bile ulcer, even a bruise, the blood circulating
through that part takes up impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system This
is the often osudden death to persons of full hab
it, afflicted with biles, and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality, and life ceases if bere by lightning. Now
this can be remedied-the Brandreth Pills will, if used
at these times take out all impure matters from the cir
cuatlon, and save the general health at the same time
they are curing the local affections
Oh how important it is to find that this subject
be well comprehended, it would save many from tedi-
GUS times OF Sickness and often secure their services
to their friends, when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.

HONOURS TO MR.. CALHOUN.

We publish, in another column, the very touch
ing remarks of Mr. Clay and Mr.. Webster on
the sad occasion of the death of their great COM
peer and competitor, Mr.. Calhoun. We cannot
imagine scene upon earth of more melancholy
interest and instructive solemnity thanthat which
must have been presented in the Senate Chamber,
on Monday, when the two survivors of the three
most eminent statesmen of the republic, were
testyng their respect for the character of the IL
lustrious dead, and minglng their coincidence
with the sympathes of the nation. Mr.. Clay's
brief address especially strikes us as one of the
most remarkable proofs he has ever given of the
depth and power of his eloquence.
Intelligence of Mr.. Calhoun's death was COM
municated to Charleston by telegraph, on Sum
day, and profound sensation was produced in the
community of that city. The bells of St.
Michael's Church were tolled throughout the day,
and the flags of the shipping in tine harbour and
on the cupoa of the Custom House were dis
played at half mast. The papers of Monday
morning, come to us in mourning, and with articles
strkingly indicative of the affectonate admiration
with which Mr. Calhoun was regarded by the peo-
Pile of South Carolina. public meeting of the
citizens of Charleston, to be held on Monday even
ing, for the purpose of sending delegates to the
Nashville Convention was postponed; and in
compliance with call of the Mayor, meeting of
citizens was to be held on Tuesday, at one o'clock,
to express their deep sense Of the public bereave-
ment
We learn from the Washington Union, that Mr..
Calhoun's remains will be consigned to a metallic
case, similar to the one in which Mrs. Madison
was entombed, as prepared by Fisk & Raymond,
of New York, with the following. simple inscrip-
ton on the plate:
JOHN c. CALHOUN,
Born March ls, 1882. Died March 81, 1850.
They will be deposited (the Union adds) for time in
the vault OF the Congress buying ground, to await the
disposition OF his family to be transported to the soil OF
his native Stateas Mr. Winthrop styled in his beau
titu and touching address-"his adored and adoring
