After several unsuccessful balottngs, and much exciting discussion, the two Houses of the Tennessee Legislature met in Convention, on Saturday October 5, and elected Hopkins L. Turney, in place of Hon. E. II. Foster, whose term had expired.

 MT. Nicholson having been withdrawn the vote stood:

 FoR Il. L. TuRNGY-i7 whig, and dem ocratic votes-53

 FoR WM. c. DuNLAr-I5 Democratic, and Whig vote--l6.

 Thus it will be seen that the Wings, by combining with miserable little minority of sic out of .fhy one Democratic members, have succeeded in defeating .bc will of the majority.

 We dono! care to pass upon the merits of Mr. Turney, who proesses to bo a Demo- crat; but we cannot forbear to express the opinion, and We believe every true Democrat will agree with Us, that this new Senator elect, whatever he may claim to be, has evin- ced more love of office than of his party and that whatever else he may be, he is not and should not be regarded as tie Democrat ic Senator of Tennessee

 Of WM, c, DUNLAP, who was defeated ly an unholy alliance, but who is nevertheless the choice of ajns teatas of his party, we speak what we do know, when we say that no State can produce better man or better Democrat. He, with every other true heart ed Democrat, would scorn to hold office al the hands of his political opponen,s-woula scorn to be instrumental in defeating the will of his own party. None but a hollow heart ed, treacherous, false democrat could con sent 10 be used as the foul instrument of en- abling Whig minority to triumph over the Democratic majority. The Nashville (IgMqA Banner claims the election Of 1nraeg as q triumph,

 Just such ''triumphn as this, the H.higs have had in Alabama. The TFhigS of Ten nesssee have prodtted by, and followed their example. A few more such .triumphs,n and the Democratic ascendancy in the United States, is at an end
