Election Of State Ofhcers.

The elections of Comptroller of the Treasury,
Secretary of state and Treasurer, were all nc
complished yesterday, notwith landing the fac
iious opposition of the anti-AmericaE party,
and resort 10y them TO every means in their
power To probing the session of the convention,
or defeat its intentions. Whenever the AIneri
can party have had a majority, they have uni.
iorrnly despatched such matters summarily,
aud set their faces firmly against frttering
the pies time 10 pro'racted ballotn0s.
JAMES q. LUTTRKLL, Esq, Of Knoxville, was
elected Comptroller. Mr.. L. is a whole-souled
American, a clever gentleman, and will make
al excellent officer.
F. n. W. BUEroN, Esq, of Madison county,
was elected Secretary of State who is also q
clever gentleman, a good American, and in
every way competent for the position.
Col. ToRBErT, of this city. one OF the pro-
prietors of the Union and american, was cleo
ted Treasurer. Col. MATT. MARTIN was the
nominee of the American party, but lost the
election by one vote-Mr Rudd, American
Representative from Monroe county, voting for
COL Turbett. The successful candidate, though
political opponent, is gentleman whom we
highly esteem in private life, and one who will
satisfactorily discharge tie duties Of Treasurer
of the STATE.

The constiutiOn Unconstitutional.

In the convention of the two houses yester
day, Mr. Carter, the Senator from Franklin,
&c, offered resolution to appoint committee
of three to wait upon Mr.. Mabry, the Repre-
his bed by sickness, and receive his vote in the
election for State officers. ard that his vote he
counted in the balloting. The President of the
convention, (Mr. Speaker Chea,ham, of the
Senate,) ruled that Mr.. Carriers resolution
was out of order, basing his decision upon the
following (4th) section Of the constitution OF
Tennessee.
an all elections TO be made bv the General A..
scmby, the members thereof shall vote viva Voce,
aud their votes shall be entered on the journal"
Mr.. Carter appealed from the decision of
the President, and upon cali of the ayes and
noes. 10 Senators and 80 Representatives voted
to sustain, and 10 Senators aud 81 Representa-
tives voted against sustaining the decision of the
President. II thus appears that 10 Senators
and 81 Representatives declare upon their
oaths that the fourth section of the fourth ar
tice OF the constitution Of Tennessee is wrong
in fact and principle-lhat it is unconstitution
al, aud that man has right to vote how and
where he pleases. What other construction
can legitimately be placed upon their vote of
yesterday? Are the days Of the Immortal
Thirteen about to return2

Compensation Of magistrates Tor Holding Comfy


Compensation OF Aagistrates Tor Holding County
Courts.
The cambridge Herald, whose ecitor is a
lawyer, contains the following remarks in fa-
vor of compromising Justices OF the Peace for
holding County Courts:
We find an effort is being made in this county,
by petition TO General Assembly, which meets
our approval, and which trust will he sgitated
throughout the State, and call forth some efficient
action from the Legislatnre-which has tor its OBJ
ect the amendment of our statute laws in reference
TO our County Court system This proposition is
% compel, under proper restrictions aud penalties
the attendance of all Justices Of the Peace during
the terms Of our Quarterly Courts until the entire
business Of the Court ia transacted, and to pay the
Justices for their attendance. We think this law
highly important in this county, and in all other
counties with which we have any acquaintance -
The business of our Quarterly Sessions lie usually
enough TO engage the attention of the whole Court
for four DAYS but the Justices of the Peace in at
tendance, recefVing no pay, aud upon their own
expense, push through in the greatest confusion,
right or wrong, the local affairs of their vcin
ity without reference to the interests of the county
Ia the general confusion which this conflict of in
terest produces, the business is hurriedy carried
on, the record hastily and without system brought
forward aud the greatest impostions pfactlced upon
the people and treasury Of the county II TINS al
iteration is made, however, the County Court, IN
stead Of being a hasty ASST mbldge OF hasty men,
will be a dgnified body of useful men, rejecting
credit upc themselves and promoting the pecunia-
~ interests Of their respective counties.
We can see no good reason why Magistrates
should not be compensated for their services
the same as other administrative officers. It
ought not to be expected that Justices of the
Peace will subject themselves to the inconve-
nience and expense of attending the courts Of
their respective counties for the empty honOrs
of their station. They are required to per-
form with fidelity the important duties of the
quarterly sessions of the County Court "with-
out fee or reward" 1t is true, there is no law
compelling them do this, but the law presumes
they will do it. The question is worth con-
sidering whether it would not better subserve
the interest of the State and of the respective
counties, to require the attendance Of all JUS
tices of the Peace upon quarterly terms Of the
County Courts, and at least a certain number
upon other terms, and allow them liberal,
not an extravagant, compensation for such
services.
