aWhat is the matter in Tennessee? Wo
see it announced that Nebraska resolutions
have failed in the Tennessee House OF Repre-
sentatives, after having passed the Senate
The excuse alleged is, that no quorum was pre-
emit But why did absentees stay away II
is also stated, that Mr.. Taylor, recently elected
to Congress from the fourteenth district of that
State, is uncomp romisingly hostile to the Ne
brasIa BILL We see also, that on Tuesday last,
ranting Mr.. Cullom, from the same State, de-
livered violent speech against the bill, in the
House Of Representatives at Washington.
aWhat is the meaning Of all this? What
is Mr.. Nicholson, editor of the Union, and pub
lie printer of the House of Representatives,
who was 30 prompt in applying the lash to the
New York Hards, and to MIR. Cutting, about,
that he should be silent amid this detection III
his own State?
Unfortunately, the inquiry docs not stop
with Tennessee Bolts, Of Virginia Clemend,
Of Alabama, and, upon different principles)
Millson, Of Virginia, are all out and out against
the bill. Why is this How is this? Yet
none are dashed by tho Union at Washington
but Mr.. Cutting and the Hards"
1t is little queer!
The Philadelphia North american says:
Douglass Nebraska bill is not popular in
Tennessee. A private letter from a gentleman
in Knoxville, Of recent date, says There il
no doubt in the world but that the great mass
Of the people and a large majority Of the poll
ticians in East Tennessee are opposed to the
bill,
"The Nashville Banner also has taken tho
pains to inquire among the cotton merchants
Of Nashville, whether the cotton planters who
deal there have been heard to express any anx-
iety to see the Missouri Compromise repealed |?
The answer given in every case was, that there
is no anxiety whatever on the subject. The
editor of the Banner assures Us, that in his
private social intercourse with Tennesseans hc
has found the same thing to DO true. From,
these Indications it IL evident that General
Cullom's speech in the House of Representa-
tives, against the bill, was not the mere express
sion of his individual opinion, but was q true
reflex OF tho sentiments Of his constituents

"The peoplc~he are very unanimous in
favor Of the movement, and the leaders whom
| have met seem to be brave and very intelli
gent men. had heard much about Gen. AL
varcz being an Indian, IA Pinto,l and an igno-
rant man but he has displayed great acumen
and energy Of character here and his intelIi-
gcnce certainly compares favorably with that
of Santa Anna, in the fact that the first meas
ure OF the latter was to suppress the prcsp,
while that Of the former was to establish
complete freedom therein.
