Douglas. The letter. which we give below,
sets this matter at rest:

Our Nominations.

The State convention met, nominated the necessary candidates, and adjourned on Thursday, the 9th inst The nominations, so far as we have heard from, have been re- ceived by the democracy with the most per feet satisfaction. The prospect of bril- liant victory next August is most prom ing, and doubtless will be reaize,l A re- sp-ctable opposition cannot be gotton up, and, we suppose, will not be attempted.- | The democratic candidate for Governor, RICHARD H. JOHNSON, and the democratic candidates for electors, w. w. FLOYD, T. F. SoRRElLs, w. w. LEAKE and c. w. TAY- LoR will be elected by overwhelming ma jorities.
 The course of the Old Line Democrat, in regard to the democratic ticket presented by the State convention, is singularly in consistent in the extreme. It hoists tho name of Richard H. Johnson, the demo- cratic candidate for Governor, and yet has not, in any manner whatever, noticed the nominees for Electors We suppose. at some future day, it will make the amcnde necessary, as it did in the case of the Pu- laski democratic ticket, and hoist the names. But as there is no sensible reason for not doing so at once, and frankly indorsing the men, able, patriotic and true as they all four are, it will as usual expose the discontent and dissatisfaction 1t secretly feels We exceedingly regret this, but hope, for the sake of the democracy, that Messrs. Floyd, Sorrels, Lcake and Taylor, will be able, as we know they are, to survive this neglect and injustice
 In regard to the democratic nomination for Governor the Old Line Democrat is, if possible, still more inconsistent. While it hoists the name of the nominee at it's masthead, it puts forward every thing it can suggest to create opposition to him, and bring defeat upon the party. It has as vet expressed no wish for his success, nor spoken a single word of encouragement to democrats. Like the tory in the jubilee after the battle of Yorktown, its solitary descordapt voice is heard in the ranks, cry ing Beef! Beef! Beef ]!
 Heretofore, the action of our conventions has always settled and quieted all personal preferences, and united our party in one gallant band of brothers, struggling for common victory upon common platform of principles. But now, disorganization and selfish personal considerations are brought into play, and the contest which was legiti- mate, right and proper before the action of the democratic convention, is, we suppose, to be continued to the day of the election.
 This state of things cannot last long as it now is. The discontented and dissatis- fled must either bolt the party organization outright, CT cope up, like true and loyal

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

K A<friend has sent us copy of the Val >ley Tan, published at Salt Lake city, on the 29th ult It contains statement by w. H. Rogers concerning the massacre, which, though long, we will transfer to our columns as soon as we can. 1t fixes the guilt of the Mormons beyond doubt The narrative is plain, unpretending and clear We defy any man to read 1t with out feeling his blood thrill in his veins.
 One hundred and twenty American citi- zens men, women and children, were mur- dered in cold blood The bones of these murdered emigrants, after having the flesh gnawed from them by wolves, were left to bleach for nearly two years on the ground, when they were collected by Major Carlton and buried in one grave. A stone monu- ment, conical in form, fifty feet high, has been erected over the grave. A cross of red cedar, twelve feet in height surmount, this. On the transum of the cross are these words:
