SENATOR N Tennessee - 50 far as We

SENATOR IN TENNESSEE. $50 FAR as we
have yet seen, there is but one voice and
Iha, OF the most indignant condemnation
from the democratic press, as 70 the re-
suit Of the Senatorial election in Tennes-
see. The local prejudices and faetlous-
ness of few democrats gave the choice
to the Wings. And how have they used
their power2 Did the party which claims
all ihe decency and all the talent, and
sometimes all the honesty and patriotism
Of the country, aci according to their pro-
(essions? Did they cast aside all other
considerations but those Of the public good!
Did they show themselves devoted to their
country, and willing TO lei the minority in
the ascendant do the best they could to
secure an efficient, honorable and gentle
manly public servant No,--they laid
aside every thing else to crafty the most
petty and malignant party feeling; and as
soon as they discovered that they had the
power, they determined to defeat the choice
Of their opponents, and fasten the man
most odious to them upon the country
acknowledging and insisting, as most Of
them did, that he was an unprlncipled de-
mngogue, and knowing, as report says
some OF them did, that he was man rea-
dy to bargain of his principles for Office.
We wish the wings luck with their chosen
Senator from TENNESSEE [Sentinel.

description OF Geleway, as given by the
