DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
We congratulate the Democracy of
Hamiltoncounty on the unanimily Of their
Delegate Convention at Carthage, the
prudence with which was conducted,
the harmony Of its deliberations, aud its
strong and popular nominees for differ
ent Offices. We were led to fear discord
and disunion, before it had assembled; !;
but when it had organized, and we no
longer feared for the final approval of the
Democracy of its nominations.
DR.. ALEXANDER DUNCAN was nomina.
ted for Congress by acclamations mot
one, out of lis delegates, voted against
him.-Mr. FARAN, who had been urged
as an opposing candidate, having with
drawn his name severalN days previously,
in order that there might be no cause Of
excitement, opposition or i'll feelings
between their different friends.
DAVID T. DINsEv was nominated for
State Senator, having receiVad 76 votes
out Of lis. Many Of our democratic
friends were opposed 10 the nomination
OF Mr.. DINsEY, and distrusted his opin.
ions on the currency question. The d.
rect and manly response of Mr.. DINsEY
to the acquisitions of the Convention,
pledging to adhere firmly to the ground
taken bV the party, was sufficient, we
hope, to remove this disJust, while the
vote Of the Convention manifested the
confidence OF the Delegates in his faith
and honor. He has now an opportunity,
by throwing himself Unreserpedly upon
the Democratic party, and entirely dis
connecting himself with adverse infu.
ence, to make his powers, which are
great, felt and acknowledged in the ad-
Vancement oftrue democracy. We feel
we'll assured that he will do so, and we
call upon him to do it, in The name of
thousands who esteem the man and ad-
mire his talents.
MessFs. WAKEFIELD, of Crosby, SNI.
DER, OcSycsmore, and EwINe, Of the
city, were nominated for Representa-
tves. We need not say 10 the people,
that each Of these men is true 10 his
faith, consistent in his principles, honest
in his reputation, and worthy Of the un.
divided support of the entire DemOcra-
cy.
For Treasurer, GEORGE W. HOLMES,
Of Columbia, for Recorder, THOMAS
HECkwELDER, Of this city; for Commis-
soner, EPHRIAMD. WILLIAMS, OF Greene,
were nominated in such a manner as TO
prove satisfactory to the opposing can.
didates and their friends. They are all
good men, Of tiled integrity and moral
worth.
For the first nominee we have word
in addition to say.
That we feel peculiarl qualification
in the nomination and certain election
OF Dr.. Duncan, in common with the
Democrats Of Hamilton county, we frank
ly confess. He was cheated and swin>
died out Of his election in 40by a more
unprincipled and infamous conspiracy of
desperate men than was ever exposed in
the history Of this country. Wealth was
brought to bear against him;--bOld dis
honesty and unblushing villainy went
arm in arm to defeat him, men who
pretended to virtue and responsibility, to
honesty and good citzenship,--even
some who arrogated to themselves the
purity OF the christian and yet stand as
pillars Of gospel light among the people,
descended to the low level Of the bulls
y and petty knave TO unite with the base
Ind unscrupulOus loafers, who for hire
would perjure their souls and add to the
lsn;Ous offence of corrupting an institu-
ion in whose pnrity good government
md political freedom have centred their
asst hope, all this, and infinitely more
han we can here describe, but which
memory has treasured, was the opposition

light that overwhelmed him. He was
eieated, too, BY an instrument, who,
'ithOut the semblance of shame az the
leans used, the fraud perpetrated, the
lths Peuured, the laws violated, who Il
new all this, for he had seen il all ex. /
osed, and listened to the indignant de. '
lnciations of swindled community at /
Ie wrongs they were forced to bear, -
'azenly mounted the eminence where
lmnable villiany elevated him,and there
i comPOsedly, reckless Of the scom that q
'eeted him, maintained It in contempt n
the denunciatiOns of the people, and Q
iIlt only with the last expiring hour Of O
diluted political existance. BY such D
cans and such man was DUNCAN de W
ated; and now ne is selected .by this le
lme swindled Democracy, who have G
