was tr'fling in extent and value; but the
recent high price of gold and scarcity Of

AS he can never come in contact with them
except at balls, where he is under the
greatest restraint. Marriage is reduced to

THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.

As this body. in tho extraordinary course
of its Governor and the radical member,
thereof, is attracting considerable attention
we extract from the Nashville Union and
Banner Of the 18th ult., the following
statement, which exhibits some characteris-
tics Of tyranny that is Of a piece with the
radical programme throughout the coun-
try:
The first fruits OF the revolutionary pro-
ceediugs of the Tennessee Legislature were
witnessed 10 this city. The Hon. Pleas
ant Williams, member of the Legislature
from Carter County, was forcibly arrested
at his home, on Sunday morning last, be-
fore daylight, by two men, named Frame
and Sigel-one of them whits man and
the other negro-which was the white and
which the black we did not learn. lie was
hurried to the cars by these persons in hot
haste and brought to this city. On his
arrival, be was turned over to VIM. IIeyLt,
special geant.at-arms, IAN officer un-
known 10 the laws of Tennessee,) created
for this special occasion. He was then car
rIed to the capitol, and there kept in close
custody during the greater part Of the day
not being allowed to 60 to his dinner.
In the afternoon, Mr.. Williams, through
friend, was enabled to communicate with
counsel, who Immediately applied to Judge
Thomas N. Frazier, Of the Criminal Court
for writ of Aabcas corpus which he grant,
ed, aud the bearing is set for this morning,
at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Williams has also instituted suit
against the party making the arrest to-
gcther with all the members Of the House
who were present and voted for the meas
ure which led to his arrest-laying his
damages at $4,000, for false impnson-
mcnt.
We cannot refrain from 1.ronounciug
this entire proceeding on the part of the
Legislature as The most highhanded and
hsg'tions usurpa,irn, and outrageous viola
tiop of personal liberty, that has ever oc-
Cured in the Legislative history of America.
If the radicals have deliberately resolved 10
enforce their opinions and measures upon
the people Of the State Of the Tennessee
by usurpal'on and violence, it is time for
US to arouse and vindicate the majesty of
popular rights and institutions.
We do not counsel violence, but VIC do
advise and insist upon the assertion Of the
Liberties OF the people according to law,
and the prompt suppression Of lawlessness,
whether it is committed by the petty thief,
the highway robbor, or member of the
Legislature,or cabal or conspiracy mem
bers. The subver of tho liberties of
Tree people is th most heinous of public
crimes.
