THE MEETING AT NASHVILLE.

]
| THE MEETING AT NASHVILLE.
The citizens of Davidson county met yes
terday in large numbers, for the purpose OF
nominating delegates from this county, to
attend the district convention to meet in this
| city on Saturday next, to select delegates to
| the Philadelphia Convention. The utmost
\ good feeling pervaded the meeting, and a
spirit of conservative patriotism was mani
| tested throughout All 81 AIDES of former
| political faith met upon the common plat
form Of love Of country, and mingled har-
moniOusly together.
All seemed to feel the necessity of Kidding
the country of the hidious flock of vampire
Radicals, now preying on the vitals of the
Constitution, and threatening the utter ex-
tinction of republican liberty.
The meeting was called to order on a
motion of Mr.. LELLYETT that Judge
WENTWORTH should take the chair. Judge
WHITwoRTH did so and made some exceed
ingly well-timed remarks upon the condi-
ton of the country and the intention and
object of the meeting.
Mr.. LELLYETT offered a resolution, that
every man who sympathises with the object
of the meeting should consider himself a
delegate, which was adopted.
Ex-Gov. NELL S. Brown was called up
on and addressed the meeting, urging con-
cert of action among Conservatives to defeat
and overthrow the reign of radicalism. He
eloquently depicted the duty of Conserva-
tive men, and called upon them to abate no
effort to stem the torrent of misrule which
was overrunning the country. His remarks
were heard with profound attention. At
the conclusion of his brief address P. w.
