nation? Why do your party so uniformly vote IN
: solid phalanx against it And why, when passed
in spite of you, do you seduce our weak-mndea
President to veto it, and thus crush our hopes and
as YOU profess, your own? The Post knows that
it speaks falsely when it says the Wings have Il
majority OF forty in the House-for any practical
purpose: and it knows likewise that they have Ia
bored. as no other Congress ever labored to sus-
tain and give life to all the great interests OF the
Nation That their efforts have been thwarted by
baseness and trcachsry is too true-and the tact
finds, every where, by far sincerer mourners than
the Post and its allies.
Tennessee.
The lowest depth of faction and degradation has
been reached by the Loco-Foco minority OF the
Legislature of Tennessee. We have already eX-
hibited the extraordinary and criminal course
taken by them last winter in defeating any election
of U. S. Senator by refusing to go into Joan
Ballot after 6otk Houses had voted 10 do so and
feed the time and place. BY this reasonable
act, the State was left utterly without U. S. Sena
tors for an indefinite period, the Legislature is
elected for two years. The State is left undStrict
ed for Members of the Legislature, as well as Tor
Congress, and thus, by contumacy and faction
brought to the verge of anarchy.
What is to be done in the premises 2? Must the
Government be dissolved? If so, where IS the
fault? Is it not clearly with those who refuse
"that submission TO the qciN Of Tie majority,
which Mr. Jefferson pronounced the vital principle
Of Republican Governments and essential to its
very existence?
| But the Loco Focos, perceving that their posi-
ton is one of gross wrong and leading directly TO
anarchy, have become alarmed and unensy. They
originated banter for a resisnation--their recu-
SAINT Senators would resign if the Wings would.
This was promptly accepted. But now the chaI-
lengers insisted that the House should resign
also. But for what reason? What had the
House done or neglected that should require re-
signation? No one had accused or could accuse
them of any dereliction or impartiality. Then
why resign?
But the Wings were determined that their OPP
ponents should have no loophole of escape from
their proposition. They therefore rejoned =
well, you ask general resignation of the
20 House, where we have ma orlty and In JOINT
g Ballot: Be it as you wish We only ask a
= pledge that If ace beat yoa again as aoe hare
g done once already, yoa shall THEN allos0 as TO
s. elect the Senators making the same stipu-
lation in your behalf in case you secure u ma
q jority.n,-
Can any man dispute the perfect fairness Of
this? Can any fail 10 see that resignation
without some such agreement would be an expen-
sive farce? Why resign, but to obtain an une-
oil j,otE tbo In And, hat H.
in such verdict it, after party has secured
fve-cights of both branches of the Legislature, it
may still be prevented from electing Senators by
the refusal of the minority to go into Joint Ballot?
| Yet the Loco-Focos refuse to give any pledge,
and thus defeat the whele project of resignation.
They sag that they cannot pledge their success
sors but they not asked TO pledge any int
Mefaselues. This they will not do and this leaves
the State unrepresented in the Senate, un-Dis-
trcted in the House, the end Of their years,
unless they can coerce the majority to submit to
the minority This is Loco-F ocoism.
10 The editor Of the Albany Euenang Journal
has condescended todeny, utterly and emphatcally,
the story going the rounds of the Herald Union,
and other papers Of the sort, that he rung the
bell of the Presidents House and was denied adj
mittance. Nothing like this ever took place. as we
suppose any man Of sense must have understood.
Mr.. Tyler is a very bad President and unfai,l,-
full politician but he is not boor. He intends to
live in Virginia after his term is out and would not
dare to treat any man thus clewnishiy even if it
were in his heart. But they do not educate men
in such manners at William and Mary.
