The "Washington States.".

Some one has sent MS q copy OF the
States. the Democratic paper at Washing
ton, from which we take the following ar
ticlc upon the late Congressional elec-
tions IN Tennessee
DErEArEp.-Yes, and what was the
cause of it? The question is an awkward
one, we know, but not the less should it
be closely thrust in tho faces OF those
gentlemen who have of late sacrificed
their party to their own bloated ainbi-
tion-we allude. of course, to the men
who have lost their own elections by
sweeping vote. when on the same ground,
the same banner. carried by other hands,
cleared the field with handsome majori-
ty where those men failed to sustain
either themselves or their party. AS to
the gallant fellows who. in closely con-
tested districts, after bravely defending
the principles they served, and which
they did not use as mere hobby-horses to
ride upon, and at last came short of win
ming. we have nothing to say except in
commendation. They fought well, and
deserve the praise next to the praise of
the victor. Though they have not won
the crown, they may wear the wreath.
The most astonishing instance of what
we have alluded ta above is presented in
the fourth district of Tennessee-the
.'mountain district" where the soul of
Democracy is as firmly imbedded as the
rock of Cashel. In that district. at the
last election, Gov. Harris received a ma
jority approaching to l,5O0-Mr. Savage
of l,200.
Mark the change. Gov. Harris now
carries it by near a thousand, and Mr..
J. II. Savage iooses it, as we are informed,
by five hundred! Who can doubt that
the decrease in Gov. Harris vote is caus
ed by no other than his sCongressionalaid
Nor is Mr.. Savage beaten by man of gi-
gantic popularity; on the contrary, by u
man who only ran for the fun of it! Yet
he gained on his opponent in his own
county 3lS votes, and in the county of

that the course Of tho Herald has become very often

The coarse erontery ofthe above paragraph is dis
gushing and the ofcous intermeddling with The bus

respectable Justice of the Peace that they have
given Paschal such information, we will not believe
it upon his 'say so," for he cannot give cor

HIS statement that have endorsed the Era Letter
is malicious and without foundation in truth. We
have only to refer to the reckless course of the editor
of the Intelligencer towards Gen. Houston to prove
how unreliable is any statement emanatng from such
