TENNESSEE.

The Legislature of this State, which holds
its sessions biennially convened in Nashville
on Monday. the 4th inst. and completed it:
organization on the following day. In the
Senate, Samuel Turney was elected Speaker
with but three dissenting votes; and Jacob A.
Lane principal Clerk. In the House of Rep
resentatives, Burchett Douglass was elected
Speaker, and Strokely D. Mitchell principal
Clerk.
OF the political complexion of the two Hon.
ses, we learn from the Nashville Wing that
parties in the Senate are equally divided. OF
so nearly so as to render the balance Of pow
er il that body question able. They therefore
united upon a Senator to fill the Chair whose
conservative position and long experience in
legislation peculiarly qualified him for the du,
ties of the station; while in the House, the
division of parties was closely drawn in the
election of Speaker, exhibiting the relative
strength to be thirty-nine wings to thirty-siA
Opposition.
The organization of the Assembly having
been perfected ON Tuesday, the Message Of
the Governor was expected to be sent in the
next day.

Ex-GovERNoR JENIsoN. The return o.
Governor Jenison to private life is worthy Of
some passing remarks. There are few Of
those qualifications which render man pc.
culiarly fitted for the station he occupies
which could be justly denied TO the retiring
chief magistrate. A good governor of Yer.
mont should possess integrity, frmness and
decision, sound and discriminating judg.
ment, enabling him to comprehend the wants
and interests of the people. and a thorough
practical knowledge Of public affairs. All
these Gov. Jenlson possessed in an eminent
degree. In state legislation seldom has a
chief magistrate shown himself more familiar
with the true line of policy required by the
interests of his constituents. The outbreaks
and anarchy which for a few years past have
unhaPPily reigned upon our frontier, have fur.
nished occasions for the display of his energy
and decision; and in no instance has he failed
to pursue the wise and determined course,
which the rights of the country required. His
promptitude in the case of Grogan, and the
fearless and manly tone of his correspond
ence with The acting governor of Canada, con.
tanned in this paper, we notice with peculiar
pleasure.
As politician, coming directly from the
body of the people, he has ever been a stern,
unyielding advocate of the true democracy of
the country; not, however, the modern YAM.
pre- democracy, which feeds upon the very
Likelihood Of popular rights. Owing to cir.
cumstances which it is useless now to narrate.
his elevation to the chair of state was pecuI.
iarly obnoxious in certain high quarters. But
with rare exceptions ne retires with the appro-
baton and good wishes of all his political sup
porters, and the respect of his opponents.
ERReR.-The legislative proceedings of
Wednesday accidentally failed of being
seasonably set up. Of these proceedings,
however, the only important item was the
correspondence of Gov. Jcnison with the
acting Governor of Canada, which will
appear in our next.
A communication from Salisbury will
likewise be inserted next week.

debt. The payment Of the interest alone to their
