The news from the seat of government of
Tennessee shows that the agony is not yet
over in this State, but SO far from being
over, is rather on the increase. On the
I'd December, the day fixed upon by vote of
both branches of the Legislature for going in
to an election of u Senator of the United States
the minority refused to assist in carrying the
determination of the two Houses into effect,
and defeated the election for that day by pre-
venting the formation ola quorum for business.
On the succeeding day the same scene occur
ed, with very little variation. This, every
reader will perceive, is purely iactious pro-
ceeding, unless indeed we consider it us mere
iy childish and unworthy of grown men. We
take 1t tor granted the revol;ers will think bet
ter OF it, and complete the election of Senator'S
before they return to their homes-.NM. Int.
Al thelates dates from Nashville, Faction Cor
foiiy) still triumphed over order and law in the
Legislature ofthe State of Tennessee. The re-
cusant members, we yet suppose, will return to
their senses and their duty before the Legislature
rises. not. they will have heavy account to
Settle with the People when they get home.

ers came up for argument on the motion made the
preceding day to quash it. The Sentinel states
that the reasons filed by Mr.. Read, counsel for
Mr.. Biddle, were generally that the presentment
was irregular and contrary to law, thar it was not
made upon the knowledge and observation of the
jury itself; that the Grand Jury has not right
to administer an oath to witness; that witnesses
and prosecutors in case of the administration of
oaths by thatbody, could notb be proceeded against
Tor perjury. HIS argument in support of his mo-
ton was extended, in which he cited many au-
thorlties. John Cadwallader, Esq, fled reasons
also In motion to quash
lenryJ. Williams, Esq. supported the motion
to quash In short argument taking generally
