Coercion" In Alabama.

The following significant paragraphs were tax,
en- from the Nashville Banner:
We learn that quite an exciting scene occurred
in tie Alabama Convention after that body had
refused, by decided VOTE 10 submit their action
10 the people, The Hon. Mich Davis of Huts-
vile, declared bis belief that the people of North
Alabama, would never abide the action of that
Convention, if denied the right of voting upon it..
Mr. Yancy thereupon denounced the people of
North Alabama tories, traitors, and rebels. and
said they ought TO be coerced into submission to
the decree OF the Convention Mr. Davis replied
that they might attempt coercion, but North Ala.
bama would meet them upon the line and decide
ne issue at the point of the bayonet.
Thus the spirit ofthese revolutonists is display
ed occasionally. Coercion TO prevent them from
treason is terrible; but to force men into an en-
dorsement Of that treason is legitimate. Calm
minded inca viii notice these and similar indica-
tons, and consider well before they commit their
destinies to the keeping of such pfecipi tators."
