In Tennessee -~our own belo. Ed Tennessee, within the last eighteen months, mobs and 1 aiutionary spirit, have taken the place of the con ntituted authorities of the State. In the Legislature, a large portion of one of the political parties, and all at once, during the sitting of that body, and in the name of Democracy, left their seats abruptly, leaving less than enough to form a quorum for doing business, and without the power in those who remained, either to proceed in business or to adjourn -before they would go into an election of United States Senators, be cause, forsooth, their party were in a minority, and not able to elect men of their own choice!
