Circulation,

The Wisconsin Democratic Con-
vention disgraced the State Capitol by
meeting there on the 5th instant.
1t damned the Administration and pr
tied the rebels in large measure. but bad
no eulogy for triumphs, no money for our
armies, and no curses for anybody or
thing but Republicans.
The Convention should have met in
Richmond where its doctrines would have
been welcome, and not in a free and
loyal State. 1t should have had more
manliness and grace. if it had not fallen
from grace altogether, than to stab the
gallant soldiers of Wisconsin in the back
while they are foot to foot with an open
foe in the front. What will the brave
regiments of Wisconsin think, in far
camps and fields, when they read the
record of that Convention, but that reb.
els have taken their beautiful capitol al
home? What will they ask, except the
privilege to return and drive them be.
