CHICAGO DExocRAr.-This oldest daily
paper in Chicago, which has done SO much
to make "Long John" famous, or has been
made famous by Long John, appears this
week in . new dress, and is now about the
handsomest of the Chicago dailies. The
Democrat politically is about as despicatle
as the rest of the Chicago fusion papers,
and no more SO, while as the organ of Long
John" it has q sort of interest of its own,
which will make it preferable with many to
some Of the other Chicago black republican
dailies.
Posr SCRIPT Since the above was writ
ten the Chicago Press has also come to hand
in an entirely new dress, and is certainly
the perfection of newspaper neatness. The
Press has no merits in our eyes as a political
paper. 1t is bitter, harsh, and often very
unfair as partisan sheet; but as a news
and commercial paper it is probably the best
Of the Chicago dailics.

WHEAT CRoP.-The Urbana Constitution,
champaign County, speaks thus of the
wheat crop in that region:
The appearances in regard to the wheat
crop in this section, We are happy to state,
have undergone an entire change within the
past week or two. II Is coming out beauti-
fully. Many persons who have already
plowed up portions Of their fields now re-
greet having done SO, and glad to desist. The
crop to-day, in this county, looks fully ~
well IS could be expected at this season of
the year, considering the miserable spring
weather We have had Fields where the
wheat was supposed to have been killed are
coming out green and beautiful. There is
no reason now TO suppose that this county
will not produce . much large quantity than
it did last year, If not fully average crop
for the breadth sown.
In La Sale county, we regret to say. the
pleasant weather of the past week, has not
produced such = happy change. The win
ter wheat, As far as We can learn by inquir-
ing among farmers, is generally killed. A
few fields may be saved, but Of the whole
breadth Of ground sown land it was unusu-
ally iarge,) not one acre in five will be worth
harvesting.

result, as far as heard from, as fol-
lows:
The democrats OF Connecticut cid
a great days work on Monday. 1t
was only last fall that they were de-
feated by 10000! Now they have
elected two members to Congress,
viz: Sam'l Arnold and William D.
Bishop.
The legislature is probably against
US. but not by so large majority as
in former years. We lose a num-
Der OF senators and representatives
by exceedingly close votes.
The gain Of two democratic Con-
gressmen Was a triumph in itself, and
the news will be hailed as victory
by the democrats Of the Union, espc.

From tie NosaUi2le Union & American.
HON. iSHAM G. HARRIS.

By reference to the published pro-
ceedings Of the Democratic State
Convention, which assembled in this |
city yesterday, it viii be seen that
this distinguished and popular advo-
cate Of Democratic principles was Sc
lected as their stand3rd-bearer in the
approaching Gubernatorial contest
This result win occasion no surprise
with either his political friends or ad-
versaries. The strong and manifest
expression of popular sentiment in bis
behalf from all portions of the State,
through the press and the recent pri-
mary meetings of the people. had
clearly indicated the result that was
to follow. No higher eulogy could
be paid him, nor stronger evidences of
his success be given than The unan
unity of sentiment and harmony of
action with which he has been put for
ward by the Democratic masses as
their chosen candidate for Governor
Ah.eqdy majority Of the people If
Tennessee hare expressed the'asr5Des
an his behalf, and his nomination of
to-day was, virtually, his election as
the next Governor Of the Common
wealth of Tennessee.
| In the hurry and confusion incl
dent to a State Convention, we have
only time to congratulate the people
throughout the State upon the en-
couraging evidences which we have
had in the entire proceedings of this
body, of the increasing popularity
of Democratic principles, and Of the
ability and determination Of their earn
est adherents to crown them with m,
other glorious triumph in the can
yass Of the next summer Our only
cause Of apprehension must aTi5e
from apathy and inertness which ovel
confidence too often begets. We
trust, however, that all will guart
carefully against this.

Dreadful State of Affairs in Utah.


WASHINGTON, March l6, 1851
A letter was received here to-day
from WV. Drummoud, United States
Supreme Judge in Utah Territory, by
the Administration. 1t gives sad
and deplorable picture of matters in
in that Territory. The following is
taken from the letter:
"The leading men of the church are
more traItorous than ever. Only a
lew days since all the papers, records,
dockets, and nine hundred volumes
of the laws, Were taken out of the
Supreme Court Clerks office and
burned. Aud this is not the only
Instance Of the kind Isay to you
again. and through you to the Presi-
dent, il is impossible for US to enforce
the laws in the Territory. Every
man here holds his life at the will OF
Brigham Yong; and here we are with.
out protection. am firmly OF opin-
ion that Babbitt was murdered by
Mormons under direction of Brigham
Young; and not by Indians.
Murder is a common thing here
and Mormons cannot be punished
with a Mormon jury, witnesses, off
GERS, and Governor TO pardon. 1t il
too cruel and must not be endured
A man, not member of the church
is murdered, robbed, castrate1 ant
imprisoned, solely for questioning tn
authority Of the church. Persons ar
now in the penitentiary, conviote'
before The Probate Judge, who ar

abuse is or would be endured? LIE
