ample Justice. Alter the ciolh was feiioseu
and the ladies' had retired, number Of excel
lent toasts were drank. The Columbus Band
enlivened The scene with their soul-subduing
and eloquent music.
At Nashville. Caledonia and Plymouth every
thing went off TO the satisfaction of all. we
have only received an account of the celebra-
ton at Brandv.eine Springs, which we pub
lish at length in this days paper. The iestlvl-
ties at that delightful retreat were INDUCED u
by those who generally prefer fish to fiesh'
and who have greatly distinguished them
selves, in this community, by their love Of Pis-
catorv amusements The speeches OF the
President and Vice President are highly char
acteristic of the worthy gentlemen from whom
they emanated the two letters from those
who were unable to attend are gems, and the
toasts are heightened, high-souled and patriotic.
MAY our readers and friends enjoy thousand
anniversaries of the FOURTH OF jury!
The L0cof5eo Ticket.-The letters OF JESSE
SPfIcHT, DABNET LrPsooMB, and JOHN Gil
MER, conserving to become the candidates Of
the Locofoco party for Representatives in the
next Legislature were duly and formally para
ded in the columns of the Columbus Democrat
last week. The canvass, then, is fairly COM
menced on both sides, and both parties will
make great efforts to secure success. So far
as the Wings are concerned we have no hes
ltancy in saying that the whole party, without
any exception, are perfectly satisfied with the
Locofoco nominations and feel quite sure of a
compile and signal victory over them. Messrs.
Speight, Lipscomb and Gilmer are honorable
and highminded men; men who viii exert
themselves strongly, but fairly and honestly,
and over whom it will be an honor to gain a
victory How pleased the rank and file of the
party are with the nominations short time viii
discover. Trouble is brewing among them,
and some Of the old and honest democrats are
wondering why it is that red-hot nultifer, one
who, until few months past, has violently OPP
posed the party and said many bitter things
against Jackson and Van Buren,, should be
taken into high favor to the neglect of some Of
the old veterans, who have "borne the heat and
burden" of the strife in former days. 1t is a
sort of political alchemy which cannot be well
understood, and we perceive some are disposed
to doub. the integrity of the party bell-weath-
ers. Joseph S. LEAKE, who has always
fought he battles of the party with an ability
and zealworthy a better cause, and who year
ago announced that he would become one OF
the democratic candidates for the Legislature,
and who expected that his arduous services
would certainly be remembered and rewarded,
has been given the go-by, andis, apparently,
kicked cut of the party-sanS ceremonie. Mr..
Leake, however, has resolved to run as an m
dependent candidate, and viii, undoubtedly
secure large vote. There are other difficult
ties brewing IN the locofoco camp which will
take all the tact and intrigue of the managers
to heal In the meanwhile, the Wings are
united and their candidates active; and having
adopted The motto, "UNIoN AND VICTORY" we
feel surein prognosticating total deteot Of III
! locotocos IN November! Mark our prediction
