 DEAR SIR: This has been an interesting day for Old Johnson. She has fully Invested herself of Ash ley and Woodruf-ism. and has come out almos: unanimously for Gov. Drew and Col Johnson.
 The Ashley men after mastering all their forces numbered but nineteea-while the friends of Drew and Johnson were between one and two hundred.- So you the last dickeing blaze of the Ashley citement has about gone out. Lowering clouds of dissatisfaction which have so long been hanging the Democracy oi old Johnson, have passed away, and once more her political horizon shines as bright as in former days am sure such dissatisfaction cannot again be thrcwn into her ranks. Col Thorn ton would in all probability have been the choice of the meeting had il not been for repeated attacks made upon Gov. Drew by the Ashley organ, which attacks upon Democrats so distinguished, the demo- cracy of old Johnson were not willing to let go noticed As 10 Col. Johnson, he has been the de- cided choice all the lime for the democracy are not inclined to repudate hin. any other public want, until some act of his stewarshp justifes the cause. What would be the effect now. 10 make a nomination Of another Democrat before he has ser- we'd out his first session. Why sir il would be but to destroy his usefulness, and render him in the eyes of other members as being man not having the confidence of his constituents and under these embarrassing circumstance would do but little good. But, give him the nomination second time, and you give him weight and influence and by the time he enters upon his second term. the aequain- tance he will naturally have formed wit the routine oi duty sad wants of the people will give him opportunities of usefulness than his successor now elected. could possibly have. And 1 do not under stand i,, MT Editor, being purely democratic to turn out pubic servant so long he faithfully ex- ecutes the duties ofhis office.
 These were the arguments used by the friends of Col. Ashley, and really the reason why he was retained in office. Now 1 ask in all conscience oi he friends of Col. Ashley, if consistent how can tley seek ,o oust Gov. Drew and Col Johnson There Is no complaint made against them in their official capacity, but the reverse. Gov. Drew is re. ceiyirg and justly. too the praise and eoamenda ton of the people, both wigs and democrats And have doubt that tbe same will be the feelings of the people towards Col Johnson, when he shall have had time to show his devotion to democratic principles and the interest of bis constituents That he has talents sufficient; have no iears for there are few men in the country of his age. his superior -
 Then in consideration ofhe above facts, it is hop ed that the convention, which will meet ID January next. wi retain those two gentlemen in office, and by so doing il will tend more .o the union and har- nony of the democratic party. than anything else that could be done Yours truly, M.

We know he experiences much difficulty 'n mafshalling his forces and assigning to each of his strikers his particular duty in the campaign dur ing his absence. The conferences between hin ard his organ, are said 10 be most agcaizing.-- The little embodied msligaity" of the Democrat is at faalt As yet, the Senator has not directly imptached his fidelity, but his dissatisfied manner and timid suggestions of what might have been effected by different course, have sorely tested the sectionate loyalty OF his sn;ieht long asted. seheing confederate It is cruel return for years of toil and degrading serituds.
 However. our object is to guard tbe Senator against paipable indiscretion we hear he is com hitting Yoar corps is small, Colonel, and of ad- mited discipline yet there some "leaky vessels it is feared in its ranks.
