Address to the People of Tennessee by the Whig Members of the Twenty-Fourth General Assembly
, 1842
In this 28-page pamphlet, entitled Address to the People of Tennessee by the Whig Members of the Twenty-Fourth General Assembly, the Whig Party denounces the Tennessee Democratic Senators who have prevented the Assembly from selecting two Whig U. S. Senators from Tennessee. The authors charge that the Democratic Senators refused to meet with the Tennessee House in Joint Session on the grounds that the Constitution requires each chamber to approve senatorial candidates separately. This argument kept Tennessee without representation in the U. S. Senate for two years. The text was printed in Nashville by W. F. Bang & Co. & C. C. Norvell.
