In appealing 70 the Union voters OF
Nashville to attend the election to-day,
we wish it to be clearly understood that
zoe do not peaL By authority. n is a ques-
ton of grave debate in the minds of many
loyal men whether an election held in
the present convulsed condition of our

own impression at present is that it
should not. Of the Governors view we
know nothing. But one thing is highly
desirable--that every Union man should
come up and vote, and show the nation
that there is a loyal and faithful band of
patriots in this city which has been
poisoned by so many baleful influences.
The election will be a most valuable aux
iliary in consolidating our strength
