THE GREAT NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
SECOND DAY.
The second day's proceedings of the Mass Convention, if less exciting from the absence of the great orator of the day before, were not the less interesting, from the distinguished character of the intellectual entertainment provided both at the Convention ground and in the city.
Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, led off in the morning, at the Convention ground. The speaking was continued by Albert Pike, Esq., of Arkansas, Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, Governor Jones, of Tennessee, (at the urgent request of the guests from abroad,) Humphrey Marshall, Esq, of Kentucky, and Captain Nicholas Davis, of Alabama, who closed the session of the Convention at the Grove.
The speaking was resumed at the Courthouse in the town by the Hon. Mr. Graves, of Kentucky, and Sargent S. Prentiss, of Mississippi.
The Nashville papers speak in the highest terms of the brilliant efforts of these gentlemen, and of that of Mr. Prentiss particularly.
