THE NASHVILLE CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT.

The entire State has been more or less
interested in the Congressional canvass
in the Nashville District The large
number of candidates running, their
prominence lmosi of them in the DIS
tr;ct and out of it, and the continued
agitation of the subject Of disabilities,

affairs of the district. The Hon. Balie
Peyton announced in a card one day
this week, that he saw no necessity Tor a
convention, and that he would not sub

whereas the people of the United
