look to the flesh Of the day not to the steady appro
val Of posterity. Their care is not to elevate and
instruct the people, but to kumor and csJole them
They are false to their own manhood as to their
country Instead of matchmaking the masses, the
masses indoctrinate them. They PROSTATE them
selves to the lowest level of the multitude. They
degrade themselves and forswear their country ct
the popular shrine Under the conduct Of these
vianOus trmmers, government reflects the spirit
of the worst and most ignorant Of the people, in
stead of the wiser and conservative class. We are
governed by the tenants of the pothOuses and drink
ing Saloons and our politicians themselves are our
most intoxicating drafts. We are, as people, in
the condition of fast young man, whose head has
been turned by the sudden acquisition of fortune,
and whose heart and conscience are in the keeping
of set of shsrpers having neither heart nor con-
science of their own to keep; daughter j and thus
are the present aspects of American politics &C.
counted for.
With public men of such character, was it ANA
zingto find our Union dissolvng like temple mist
in the sun. Whittier, under Providence, should we
look for deliversnce, but to the fresh and uncOr-
rupted patriotism of the rising generation, sustained
by those political amateurs, who tender that
they afraid to grspple with the evils they de-
plOre.
| And then, after au exhortation to all to remem-
her, amidst the direst and thickest of this gloom,
that we have the power under Providence, to make
our destiny what we WILL and that, if be true to
ourselves, &C., we shall make and keep our land a
eautiful oasis of freedom, safe from the simOoms
and sand-storms of anarchy and despotism,- Mr.. P.
sat down and received the congratulations of his
| friends ~

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


The Senate was called to order at IL o'clock by
the Secretary Of State, and all the members pre-
scented their credentials, and sworn in by Hon,
Judge Turner of the Criminal Court and TOOK their
Seats with the exception of the Senator from Msdi
son, Mr. Reid, who has not arrived in the city.
On motion by Mr.. Whitthorne, Joel ]. Jones was
called to the chair, temporarily. s.
Rev DR.. Sehon addressed the Throne Of Grace.
) The Senate then proceeded to the election Of
Speaker, and ]. C. Burch was elected, Mr.. Bratcher
receiving the votes of his political friends.
Mr. Burch, upon assuming his seat addressed the
Senate as follows:
Senator's: feel conscious of my inability to per-
fecty discharge the duties which your kindness has
imposed upon me; and yet, thank you. 1 shall
however, best evnce my gratitude for this manifes
tation of your Partially by prompt energetic and
unWavering adherence to the rules that you may
adopt for your government.
But all my efforts to dispatch business and pre-
serve harmony will prove futile unless they receive
your cordial cooperation. Your intelligence and
the deep interest of your constituents in the results
of our labors give assurance that your assistance
will never be wanting to enable the chair, faithful
and impartialy to perform its legitimate functions
in the work of legislation. The peoples interes s
demand our immediate attention, and they will re-
ceiVe it, if properly appreciate the responsible
ties of our position. l am confident that high con
sideratons of regard for the welfare of those who
have inrusted with the brief authority which we
possess will actuate in official conduct; and
entertain the ardent hope that, when We shall have
laid aside the robes of Office and resumed the habit
ments of the private citizen will be greeted witt
the approving smiles of grateful constituency.
Hoping that our session may be agreeable to III
individually, and beneficial to the State, again,
thank you.
The Senate then proceeded to the election of I
Principal Clerk, and Charles Stone, of Davidson
county, was elected H. K. Walker receiving the vote
of his political friends.

Der that it is our duty to give all necessary time

shallbe brought up for which
no permanent good can be effected. / shall expect,
therefore, that We will though in conflict with our
individual wishes, be detained here until these de-
sirabie objects be ccemplished-even though it

aid in your deliberations which I NAV have the

power.
Trusting that our joint labors may be blessed to
the furtherance of the best interests of the State

The Speaker announced the order Of the nominal

GENERALS SCOTT AND PILLOW

The recent card Of Gen. Scott, copied into our
paper, makes up an issue between Gen. Pillow and
himself which subsequent developments must de
termine.
We have been shown letter written from Wash
ingtOn, and addressed to Gen. Pillow, by gentle
of distinction and character, altogether relia
bic, who says that he has examined the record
the War Department and that he finds there on ilc
the sworn testimony Of Gems Shields, Quitman an
others, fully and clearly sustaining every materia,
fact stated by Cen Pillow in his recent address t.
the people of Tennessee. We are requested by Gen
P. to say that as soon as he can procure a COPY O.
the record of the testimony he will submit to III
public an answer to the card of Gen. Scott. recent

JCDGE RnWIPS

1t Is not, we think, improper for us to state that
this gentleman, who had been warmly pressed as
candidate for Speaker and whose talents so we'll fit
him for the position, promptly notified his friends
on his arrival in the city, that he would not permit
his name to be urged in competition with that OF
the eminent citizen who was subsequently chosen.
This course was high compliment to Gen. Donel-
son, while it will exat Judge Rowles still higher in
the estimation Of the democrats Of the State.
