MIA as sine qua non, and TO exhibit hi instructions

The Democracy OF Wisconsin have called State
Convention to meet at Madison the 9th inst one
of the most important objects being the appointment
of Delegates To the Charleston Convention. The par
! tsans of Senator Douglas, says The Ma"dntee Vas
coasin consider that they have so planned that the
whole deleg cation secretly at least, will be pledged 10
vote for Do gas. The intention is not to allow the
| Administration or Any other candidate single dele
gate. The probability is now that the State Conven-
tion will be packed by the partisans of Douglas, and
they will ride rough-shod over the Administration
Democracy, and every other candidate who may be
named in our State Convention. OF course, some
thing can be done during the ensuing three weeks,
but the Douglas men are confident that they laugh
contempiuously at what they deem the puny efforts Of
| the friends of the National Administration.
