of call for convention OF those VINO arc
in favor OF the restoration ct the former reia-
,;on Of Tennessee to the Federal Union. =
From what We have been able to learn OF TINS
infamous conclave, it was in point OF nndter'n,
one of the most Heterogeneous aud motley con
csrns this side regular New Englsn bread
riot, or John Brown anniversary, IN VINCE
black Dntch, and all manner and classes Il
quaint Yankees, and fec negroes arc the par
Elephants. AnI,ug tho names Of the ottlcers OF
the m,eting, we notice that OF "pT j. u.
Brown, al Brady" NV this same "l'r
j. G. Brown, Of Bradley" deliberately took
tho oath to support rho Constitution OF the
Confederate States not exceeding fur months
since, when the hypocritcai villain was ar
rested by the proper military authorities LOT &
supposed completely in the bridge burning
He afterwards denounced Lincoln and ms an
minist7aaion in unmeasuTel terms AMI 10 our
own personal knowledge MADE application Tor

We notice, also, ainonc tho nam"s Ct lne

q reward for his trsachery. lie is ln.la
bow.legged, squirt eyed specimen OF humanity,
without either brains or principle, and from
the fact that this creature was selected CD ore
OF the Secretaries Of tho grand L mon" hzzle,
we tnke it tina: thure must have besR great
demand for material. One E n. James, ior~
merly Of Chattanooga, more rccon;ly OF AT
lanta but ut present ono 81 TIE clerks IN the
Post Office at Nashville, attends the meeting,

much for tho smaller FRY Of tho Union"
Convention.
Wu. II pix, Of Maury, notorious dunk
ard and black guard, Seems to have been among
the most prom neat OF the speakers. Polk Is
half brother Of tho lament,d James K. Polk,
but is in every way wholly unworthy such re-
lationship IL is the workable traitor VINO pre-
septed himseit twelve months ago as c.ndi-
date for Governor against 1soam G. Harris
He claimed to BIZ better Southern man than
Gov Harris, and advocated vigorous PROSE-
cuiioa Of tho war upon The part Of tho South
for independence, Hs WAS always regarded
by many as bang genuine L!ncolnite, and
was rup as the Union candidate. Many non
est End well-infocned Secessionists voted for
hin, believing him to be a true Southern man,
aad hoping ~ conciliate r rcbcllious feeling
which seemed conferred on Go9ornor Harris.
The time hgs now come when it behooves US
10 be sc:upulois in whom we trust. Every
man should be regarded as against Us VINO is
not known 10 be Tor us. He who can now S.t
quietly By, and watch tho struggle without p
wo,d Of cheec fur ihs brave spirits engaged
in it, is dsloya! man. and should be branded
as q TRAITOR by homes: public Sentiment. Ia
other words, the moral Of this Nashville con-
c,sve should tnach Va to trust 40 naa who
may EXHIBIT tend.r-footedncss in this our
day oil trial.
