COUNTY NoMINATIoNs.-The Democratic County
Convention TO nominate candidates for Sheriff.
County Clerk and Coroner, meet tomorrow even
ing, by adjournment, TO conclude the business en-.
trusted TO their charge. On Friday night, after
nine baotlngs, they were still unable to make any
choice, the last ballot being for Henry Atwood, "a
John Emmans, 20; John ]. Westervelt. II: and
Wm o. Seaman, ii. In thisposion of affairs thew
adjourned until Tuesday evening The total mum.
Der OF delegates being IS, whoever is nomi-
mated, must receive the sanction of 40, or
a majority of all present. This delay of four
days will give such an opening for the &C.
compllshment OF private intrigue and trade be-
tween the delegates that nomination will most
probably transpre at their next meeting. The pre-.
sumption is that portion of the friends of Atwood
and Westervelt will unite, and as the Seaman men
will throw their strength into that scale il is most
probable that Atwood will be nominated for Sheriff.
with an understanding that Westervelt is to be re-.
tanned in his present place as Under Sheriff The
friends OF one OF the three prominent men must give
way, and we think this result more probable than
that the friends OF Emmans and Westervet will
unite. The great disadvantage under which Wes-
terve works Is, that the present Deputy Shens are
nearly all his advocates and the presumption there
fore, is that if he is nominated they will be retained
in Office The other candidates being not bound by
such trammes are free to promise as many deputy
ships as there are delegates in the convention or adj
vocates in the street. This sickle me" sort of DO
sitlon has wondrous influence among a body of
men selected as the delegates to this convention
were. II It's great point in the game, and if well
played by those who in pursuit of Office will eff.
feet much The next trick is the playing off for the
offices of Coroner and County Clerk. MANY de-
legate will be seduced from his path of duty to his
constituents by professions of deep, shrewd de.
signing and dishonest men in the delegation, who
will " honorably PROMISE" if he will support their
candidate Tor sheriff, they will go for his candidate
for Coroner or County Clerk, or perhaps for both
They will thus secure vote after vote, and when
their end Is accomplished do as they please in
performing the promise made that produced such
result, as the secret system OF selection
by ballot instead of pfpa poce vote efectualy Sc
cures them against all detection. 1t becomes this
convention TO select as candidates for these mpor-
tant offices men whose reputation, whose sterling
integrity, whose intelligence and frmness of char
acter, will be unqnestoned, as none other can ever
be elected by the people of this proud city, The
off ~ SbariA n
immediate connexion with the people, that unless
the names of such men are recommended, party
trammes will be thrown aside, and the candidates
of the Wing party elected. No two offices within
the gift OF the people liable to corruption by
temptation, from dishonest and corrupt men, and
as no legislative principle is to be effected by their
election, party usage will not be adhered TO if the
candidates are men unfit or incapable of perform
ing the duties of the Office.
The Wing delegates elected on Friday last, me ct
on Monday next to recommend candidates for these
offices, as also for members OF Assembly. The
present candidates for Sheriff are Col Jones, of the
Sixth ward, late Keeper of the City Prison; and
Captain Alexander H. Schultz. For County Clerk,
Morris Franklin, Esq, late Alderman of the Seventh
ward, and present State Senator, and Gre. rye FL.
chells. For Coroner D.. Griscom, and some dozen
otner physicians. The Wing Senatorial conven-
ton, meets at tn Broadway House tomorrow at
II o'clock, and if Senator Franklin refuses a re-
nomination for Senator, he will probably be recon-
mended for County Clerk at the Convention on
Monday next. The Presidential delegates from
each Congressional district, chosen on Friday last,
being all Clay men, meet on Monday of next
week, to select from each district to repre-
sent this city in the Wing National Convention TO
besheld at Baltimore in May next.
The delegates of the American Republican party,
meet this evening at the Fourteenth Ward Hotel, to
nominate candidates for State Senator, Sheriff,
County Clerk, Coroner, and Assembly. This par
ty, PROCESSING strict adherence TO nothing but pure
and unadulterated Americanism, have increased at
an astonishing pace within the past few months in
this city. The result of their proceedings will
therefore, be eyed with interest by politicians. This
will be an exciting week in politics.
