STATE POLITICS.
The reports brought from the various
districts of the State are veryIencouraging
The Democracy is unqu stionably d NOR
aiized more than is generally supposed,
over the surrender at Baltimore. The dis
affected Democrats are not as noisy as the
disaffected Republicans, but they outnum-
ber the latter ten to one. We heard very
many prominent Democrats mentioned as
expressing in private the utmost disgust
for the shameless Baltimore bargain with
Greeley. esI
TIE Republicans of Nashville are thor
Oughly organized and hard at work. They
have rented for the campaign, Liberty
Hall, and have fitted il up for the season.
An invitation has been extended to Hen
ry Wilson to speak at Nashville, Knox
Vile and Memphis.
The importance of the Republicans in
the various counties of the State selecting
and electing good men for the coming Leg
isla ure, was considered by the comm ttee,
and it is earnestly hoped that the Repuhli-
cans will be particular to look after this
important matter.
