1LR. BELLS PLEDGE no RESIGN.

The Know Nothings seem TO think that we fail in
the respect due to our Representative in the Senate
of the United States, byreminding the public of his
solemn pledge to resign his seat if his countrymen
of Tennessee pronounced adversely to his position
on the Kansas-Nebrask measure. We think other
wise In the ardor Of his zeal in the Protestant
cause he may have forgotten this obligation, which
he voluntarily assumed It is our duty as faithful
chronicler to remind the people and their servants
of their mutual obligations towards each other
The language Of Mr. BELL was explicit, he said in
his speech in the Senate:
81 declare here to-day, that if my countrymen Of
Tennessee should declare against my course on this
subject, (the Kansas BILL and that shall be ascer-
tanned to reasonable certainty, viii not be in
the Senate day afterwards
We ask the people of Tennessee Of all shades Of
political proclivites whether this pledge on the part
of the Honorable Senator has not been violated
Has not Tennessee decided in thunder tones, her
condemnation Of his course upon this subject? The
Know Nothing press Of Nashville insist that this
issue was settled in the Presidential contest, and
thatit cannot be regarded question between the
parties any longer.
Now we ask them in all candor to state what this
decision was? VIII the bitterest and most reckless
partizan Of Know Nothingism deny but that de-
cision was in favor Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS measure?
