A Discussed DEMocRAr.-Thousands and thou
sands of Democrats have gone away from WASH
ington since the 4th OF March utterly disgusted out
we suppose that not one in hundred has had tue
daring to give utterance to bis disgust. IL seems
however, that the editor of the Madison Pdtrso''
the organ of the most important wing OF the !" ls-
consin Democracy, is not at all mesly mousneu'
he, like myrads of other Democrats, went to wash
ington after Office, and the following paragraph
published by him after bis return home, is a rIcn
specimen of virtuous Democratic indignation:
at is well known that. in cowpsny with score
of Democrats from Wisconsin, remanedin Wash

misdeeds of the forty thieves that we should
forever be rid Of them hereafter aud it must be no

failed. The hopes of our party 10 the future are
vanished, and we have been cleaned out! The 40

Gratis, who have never been indicted for stealing,
gambling, perjuries, permitted to suck their
fingers a respectable distance.
That the writer is disguised, but not unutterably
so, with the Administration, is evident from his
closing paragraph:

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The State Convention was addressed at
night briefly, by Mr.. McADoo, of Knox, a
fellow-soldier and friend of Gen. Haskell,
whose nomination he had pressed with en-
ergy and ability. He stated that although
his section of the State-East Tennessee
preferred Haskell to all other, yet it would
cordially support the nominee. We are
sure that when the opposition to the de-
mocracy in thatquarter see and hear BOB.
HArroN and learn something of his early
struggles, they will make their hills and val
legs vocal with his praise. They have
lost one gallant leader, only to obtain an
other.
w. L. McCoNNIco, Esq, of Franklin,
followed in a pleasing and appropriate adj
dress-conceived with good taste and elo-
quently expressed. He pledged hiscounty
for an increased majority for Hatton.
Mr. BELL made the closing speech. 1t
was short but of great power. When he
concluded the convention and outside au.
ditors dispersed, well satisfied with the
days work, and looking forward with hope
for a brilliant triumph, Americans and
Wings of Tennessee, let us have that tri-
umph!

eB Several Of the papers state, apparently on
good authority, that the administration is again Of

that he viii accept il. We hope that the rumor of
the offer is true, and that the offer itself will be &C.
cepted The old Texas Ranger has never. to our
knowledge, exhibited any particular qualifications
as civilian or even been ia a situation to exhibit
them, but he is an honest mao, true patriot. and
firm, resolute, and determined spirit as ever ex-
isted. He possesses the qualities which are most
likely to be needed 10 the position SAID to be ten
dered him, for As We have already stated, there can
be little or no difficulty 10 deciding what ought to
be zone by Governor OF Utah. The duties are
plain though, and what is chiefly wanted Is a Gov

Administration at Washington that will back him
with the requisite military force.

tics otherwise than a private citizen, have re.
garded those complimentary notices, as emanating
from feelings of personal Partially for me, rather
than as indications of serious purpose or desire to
make me candidate for the Office of Governor.
And have expected the public to take the same
view of that subject and therefore have not felt
that it needfu for me to appear before the pub
lie in response to those newspaper articles.
But supposing that you may, if continue SILENT
feel yourselves bound by the action of the people of

say to you, and through you to them, that am not

make il impossible for me to accept it even if ten

American at NashviIl you will nominate some wor-
thy American who will be able to bear our banner
to victory in the approaching canvass,
