Electoral Recommendations. Our old
friend Tucker, beverly IT, Esq, of the late
Washington Sent,xsl, is said to have been
recommended to Mr.. Buchanan by the Vir-
ginia Electoral College at their recent session
in Richmond. That is, for conductor Of his
organ. We also hear Of other recommends
tons made by them in epistles to Mr.. B. for
other prominent positions. These gentlemen
have evidently overdone their work; recon.
mending so many gentlemen as that but little
weight can justly attach to their action after
this fashion. We took occasion, a day or two
since, to express frank opinion concerning
the delicacy and propriety of that action of
theirs, and of its effect on the dignity and
standing Of the Old Dominion, which we are
not encouraged to change by tho impression
it has made on our fellow Virginians here, in
and out of public life.

cratic popular triumph. Yesterday, Mr..
Washburne, of Illinois, essayed to dispute the
fact so far as the action of the Democracy Of
h. Cfnko he X,
When questioned, however, it turned out that
he did so only on the strength of his (alleged)
impression that Democratic paper in his
district had failed to spread before its readers
the portion of the action of the Cincinnati con.
vention endorsing the course of the present
admnistration-an impression which he de-
clined to vouch for as a fact beyond dispute.
More than one of his colleagues challenged
him to produce a single Illinois Democratic
newspaper pretending to publish the resolu-
tons of the Cincinnati convention in full, that
failed to embrace In them the resolution re-
ferred to above.
