Tennessee Whig Views on Nashville Convention and Delegates
A Nashville Banner dispute prompted defense of Southern unity. The Nashville Union corrects a misimpression, noting the Democratic House supported the convention, while the Senate defeated it with Whig votes. The piece urges careful district delegation to the Nashville Convention and endorses Dr. Thomas Hoxey as Whig delegate for the 2d District. Henry Clay's return to Philadelphia for a Whig event is criticized in the context of national compromise.
