THE INAUGURATION.

At eleven o'clock This DAY both branch.
es Of the Legislature assembled in the
Presbyterian Church TO inausurate the
Hon. j. X. Polk Governor OF The State
OF Tennessee for the term at two years
The house was flied TO the aisles with
ladies and gentlemen-nnd among thos-
present it gave us great pleasure to motto"
Ex-president jackson, with health appa-
rentlv improved. The President Of the
Senate appointed committee TO wait on
The Gov. Elect and on Gov. Cannon, and
intern them that the General Assembly
were ready 10 receive lhem-when they
came in and took The elevated seats pre-.
pared for them on the altar.
The Rev. Mr.. Howell then addressed
the Throne OF Grace, in very solemn and
appropriate terlns; after which Governor
Cannon delivered brief valedictory.
The Inaugural Address was an effort Of
great happiness on the part of Gov. Polk.
1t constitutes broad platform of De
mocracy, upon which our political pro.
ceedings in this section Of the Union, and
indeed IN every part of it, may be safely
and securely conducted. The various
powers Of the Federal and Safe Govern
ments are clearly defined, and the harmo.
ry Of action throughout our entire republi.
can system as Ivy him illustrated reflects
he true greatness Of The iluslrious found.
ers OF Our government in a more eminent
degree Of perspicuiiy and beauty than any
address, speech, or wiring that has ever
come within the pale Of our observation.
We have neither time nor space to do any
thing like justice to he Inaugural Address.
We shall issue it in an extra on tomorrow
morning.
The oaths ofoffice were administered by
Judge Nancy, after which followed an elo.
quent prayer by the Rev. Bishop Andrew
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
ceremonies concluded by the request Of
the President of the Senate that he two
branches o! the Legislature repair to their
respective Houses.-NaShoille Union.

Democracy.-We are truly glad that
we have it in our power this week to say
to the Democratic party Of Holmes, that
we have but two candidates for represent
ta,ives in the field, as j. NJ. Cardozo ESQ.
has acted like true friend to the cause he
is attached. He made speech on Mon
day last, and gave notice that be was no
longer candidate. by this, it leaves
the contendIng parties two on side to be
voted for. Now we say, (for the last
time,) to the Democratic party, TO be true
10 man, and give one pull, a strong pull,
and pull altogether, and democracy in
Holmes will be as it formerly was-mi-

DEATH COL. JOHN w. BVRN.

Or civ was thrown into state Of IN
tense excitement, on Monday last, by the
discovery OF the dead body OF our sheriff,
Col. B,rn, a. ont mile and half from
,own, on the road leading to the free
nfilge over the LnXapelIlah. Col. Byrn
had left town very early in the morning,
IS it was understood, 10 attach certain
property for SHE. When discovered, he
was living on his face in the road. HIS
breast was penetrated BY IA bullet. which,
upon examination, was found to range ~
he direction Of the heart, causing no doubt,
instantaneous death. A holscman's pistol
was found about fifteen PAGES from the
dead body, with the cock down, and appa
renIly lust fred. The COPS horse wa,
also found tied at some distance. A cor
oner's inquest was Immediately called, anc
after long and full investigation Of al
the circumstances attending the case, &
verdiCl If Suicidc, was rendered. VIVA
could have been the cause of this mos
m'IanchoIy occurrence, we are utlerl,
unatlo to conjecture,
The dead b dy was brought TO town
and buried on the next day with mllitar,
honors, the Columbus RIhemen and Ban'
being in attendance, followed by the mem
beers Of he bar, and very numerous pro
ression Of he cilizeHs. Col. Ryrn was
most allie and Efficient officer; he had becl
three times elected sheriff Of the county
and WAS ~ candidate fir reelection. A
man, he was highly esteemed and be
loved by very numerous circle of nc
quainances. He has left n widow and IA
only srn to lament his uutimely and me-
anrhply eud.

We have just learned from a source that
cannot be doubted, that the United States
Bank Of Pennsylvania, and al the banks
Of the city Of Philadelphia and New York
have suspended specie payment. What
effect this will have on the southern banks
is yet to be seen. We are Of the opinion
that it will not materially change the
standing Of our banks, if il Goes it will be
for the better. We think it will be of
more advantage than disadvantage, as the
southern banks have no paper in circua-
ton that is due, and if they have been
prudent in their issues, they can meet their
liabilities at maturity. Time will tell.

entertained that the democrats have sue

GEORGIA ELECTION.

The election is over, and we are de-
feated throughout. The contest was warm
and animated, and we believe the State
Rights party made every exertion tor the
success of their ticket which was consist
ent with their honor and integrity; but
the democracy OF numbers" prevailed.
Ii would be useless and unnecessary to
give reasons for the result in this county,
OF 10 indulge in unavailIng regrets over
1t. The people, who have noticed the
course pursued by candidates and their
friends for the last six weeks, will be at
no loss to account for it, and as the State
Rights party have made use of no means
during the contest, or upon the election
day, for the purpose Of gaining votes, OF
which they need be ashamed, we fee! per-
fec,Iy willing for the people to run the
parallel and Judge for themselves
Ii our friends have been beaten, and
our party defeated, we have one consola'
ton left, they have neither spent Their
money nor sacrificed their honor.
We will only add, that we hope those
persons who have already been arres'ei
for false swearing at the polls will be
rigidly prosecuted, and that the law may
be enforced against all others Without re-
gard to party, who may be guilty Of the

well known, TO most of our readers. For
the edihcatiou of Our distant subscribers,
we give the suhloined list, which compri
SEES all the returns we have received. Ii
requires but little fore-knowledge for Us to
come to the conclusion. that we are beat
horse, foot and Dragons, and for this most
uncomfortable reflection, we must ascribe
the cause land no one can doubt the truth
of it, to our own political friends. There
are upwards of hundred State Rights
votes, that were not given 10 the party
ticket-Every eleclor has rignt TO vote
as he pleases, and we are by no means
disposed to find fault with our political
friends who conscientiously voted against
us. We wish them no more injury, than
the suiliciency ofchagrio and modification
which we ourselves feel at this unIoward
and unexpected result. Bat, and there is
no little satisfaction in the qualification,
we are by no manner of means dishearten-
ed-we cannot stay beat: we will rally
again, and at the next heat beat then,
handsomely.
