TROUBLE IN TIE CAMP.


Know rotlingism in this immediate locality has
been thrown into state Of great agitation and
alarm lor the last few days, by reason Of the IN
expected intelligence received from Robertson and
Dickson counties, OF the appointment of delegstse
to & district convention, favorable to the nomins-
ton Of Gen. QUAELEs Tor Congress. Never be-

On tue streets and public highways this one topic
OF conversation has absorbed attention. Amidstthe
gel eTGl gloom We have heard but one small voice
Of EpPsuse. A plain looking customer, in many
respects suited to The descriptions of suudry ind .
yiduas IL tie Banner police reports, but evident
ly IRON one Of tie out counties, judging from the
way be spoke brought himself up at one of cur
public corners ca yesterday with vOcilerous hur-
rahl Tor the brave Gen. QUARLEsI with few other
Explanations that told that the couutrymau wasn't

sstonisLed gaze Of some, and the indignant stare
of others gave certain indication that another such
Indian like wboop would have subjected him to sn

Il IS the first time that cur know nothing friends
berezbouts seem to have reslzed the fact that the
office of Congressman, IN hunting for man, could
by possibility make Q selection without first com
ing by Nashville Acting upon the old adsgs that
in multitude Of counsel there is wisdom, all heads
have been put together to determine how the I'M
pending calamity may be aveEted. The result Of
these anxious conferences were thrown cut n
part through the BInnsr Of Friday and the Pa
triot Of yesterday. The plan fallen on is 10
stou,ly maintain the precedent, long established,
of leaving to Davidson county the decision Of this
question; by allowing her q representation and
voice in the nominating convention equal to Mont
Comery, Robertson aud Dickson together. The
argument advanced by the B1nnsr and endorsed by
the Patriot is, that in appOrtoning the representa-
ton 10 which the different countless hall be entitled
in this Convention, their aggregate population
shall not be taken into account, but only the
number Of know nothing votes given. Mont
gomery county cannot complain OF tnis propos-
ton. as 1t is the identical principle, only little
more so, upon which the State was districted by
TIE eeremsnderiDg system originated and carried
through by Nsj. HENRY in 1871 By this rule toe
Banner and Patriot propose that Davidson county
shall be privileged to cast twice tie number OF
votes Of Montgomery-two and g half times as
many as Robsrtson-siE times as many as Stewart
and seven times as many as Dickson
Itseems that Stewart, Dickson, Montgomery and
Robertson, insppOinting their delegates have gone
upon the old plan Of giving two to esch civil dis
triCt. This, says, the Patriot, would be unjust
