TENNESSEE,

Gen. Campbell, the present Wing Governor OF
names of various distinguished Wing champions
have been suggested in connection with the Of
fee. We observe that Gen. CuIloni, the repre-
sentative in Congress from the Nashville district,
Major Henry, of GAINESVILLE, Judge Milton
Brown, Gen. W. T. Haskell, and Gen. Zoi-
Golfer, editor of the Nashville Banner, are re-
commended by their respective friends. The
Nashville American (dem.) objects to Gen.
Zocoffer's nomination and says:
1--WE rather dislike to see the editorial pro-
fession lowered by the acceptance of such off
ces. Editors must begin to be careful how they
stoop to such things. Ii they consent to be Go
veruors, who knows but they may soon have to
go still farther, and yield to be made Presidents
of The dignity of the craft must be cared
for 20
The Memphis Eagle remarks:
1.-The Wing party of Tennessee contains many
eminent and popular statesmen, any one OF
whom can be easily elected; and we doubt not a
selection will be made, at the proper time, which
will give entire satisfaction to allthe Wings in the
State;-for, it is observable that while each
seems anxious to bring out the merits of his ia
vorite, the claims of others are not disparaged,
and willingness to abide by the decision of the
Convention is freely and cordially expressed
This is the right spirit. With such feeling
pervadng our ranks, We have rarely failed OF
success

NJ. KossuTH.-The last English steamer brings
a report, current in London, that NJ Kossuth de-
signs reyisiting the United States, now that the
Democrats are entering into power, because he
regards them as more disposed than the Wings
to the furtherance of his views. The N. York
Commercial Advertiser suggests tt at M Kossuth

BILE that the Democrats an office will do all they
