The NASHVILLE CONVENTION.—The Savannah Republican contains a letter from Francis S. Bartow, Esq., declining a nomination as an alternate delegate to the Nashville Convention to represent the Whig party in the first Congressional district of Georgia. He declines on the ground that the people of the district have not manifested any considerable interest in the proposed Convention; and that, should this indifference continue, it is probable that the popular delegates will be destitute of that acknowledged constituency which can alone stamp their acts with authority, or give weight to their opinions.
