The excitement relative TO the nominations tor
County Officers 10 be supported at the ensuing
election is fast reaching It's summit, as but three
short weeks are to pass before the contest will
be decided The Democrats with all their aliases
have nominated candidates for Sheriff, County
Clerk. and FIVE Members of Assembly, the names
of which have been previously gwen. The Wings
have selected a Sheriff. a County Clerk, and Coro-
ner and last evening, at the Broadway House,
nominated the following named eight candidates
for the Legislature
Richard ;. Williams, merchant, OF 4th ward.
Robert Smith, stone mason, OF 10th ward.
Elhridge O. Baldwin, plane maker, Of 18th ward.
Augustus L. Brown, iawy er of 18th ward.
John Martin, mason OF l8h ward.
Alexander P. Fonda steamboat agent, of 9Th ward.
John L. Lawrence, lawyer, OF 10th ward.
The delegation took last ballot at about twelve
o'clock, but no additional choice being made they
adjourned TO Wednesday evening TO select the re-
naming four candidates, The democrats meet the
same evening al TammaDy Hail. to select eight adj
diuonal names for their Assembly ticket. The Ma
tive American party have concluded their nomina-
lions, and the Abohhonists are preparing ticket
for the support of their friends Thus il will be
seen that every body is to be suited with ballot,
from which 10 choose candidates for public tavor (;
aud the result of the contest will therefore be pore
doubtful than for years past The Native Am rlcan
party are waxing strong, having as their ultimate
object the defeat of Democratic Common Council
AT the ensuing spring election, in order TO obtain sa
lls.action for what they conceive TO be deprlva-
ZION OF their share of public plumber that divi
ded among the Irish and German naturalised citi-
after the Democrates came into power last
spring, The most active, efficient and honest among
them seceders from the ranks Of the Democratic
party, and therefore their force will be essentially
tet although at the time their hostility 10 the
corporation in power will tend strongly to force
nearly the whole body of adopted citizens into its
support Thus their influence may be overbalanced,
and not an object that they have in view effected
Some of the shrewd, cunning wings have joined
these Native Americans, but with intention 10
hold on the polls, as their friends OF the ether
creed will find when the ballots counted. The
German population alone have raised voice
against the movements OF this party, and strange
II may appear, the Irish adopted citizens, who
generally the first in the field, lie as dormant as
terrapins In December.
The Democratic convention, to nominate Coro-
ner, meet again this evening at Tammany Hall for
that purpose. The wings, in accordance with pub
lie opinion, nominated a physician on almost the
first ballot The democrats have baloted night al
ter night without such success. We shall see what
their meeting brings forth this evening.
GENERAL BKRTRANp.-This distinguished and
cherished friend OF Napoleon has not been able to
separate himself from ex-President Van Buren, SO
sooa as he anticipated, and hence his visit TO New
York will be delayed until Thursday next. In the
meantime Mr.. Van Buren, will escort him 10 Bos-
ton and possibly they may be joined by Dick John
sou, and thus form an unparalleled trinity In the
characters, circumstances and history of the two
military chieitans, there is much similarty-com-
partye obscurlty OF birth and parentsge heroic da-
ring OF YOUTH and progression in rank by personal
Of soul which ever marks true genius, enlarged
minds, and exalted courage. The character and
history OF Richard M. Johnson are well known, and
wherever his name has reached his extreme good
ness of heart is known too The fidelity of General
Bertrand 10 Napoleon, when in adversely, while il
hallows his name, must be TO him in the retrospect
source OF pleasing satisfaction. Fontainbeau,
Eiba and St Helena bear witness to his devotion.
when the creatures raised into existence by Napo-
leon abandoned him TO his reversed fortunes; and
Austertz, Spandau, Friedand, Aspern, Lulzen,
Bantzen and Lepsic identified with his military
career and glory. Let the old hero and the devoted
trend receive all proper and respectful attentions,
and If he and Col. Johnson should arrive together
give them the same reception which is designed 10

proceedings of the Common Council, it will be per.

has been appointed tender the respects of the city
government 10 the General on his arrival and to
place al his service the Governors room, during his
stay, TO receive the citizens, who will doubtless
flock in thousands to welcome him TO our empire

MUNICIPAL ECONOMY Our city fathers are cratic
spirits. Some time since, in fit of virtuous patro-
tlsn, and sublimaed regard for the pockets of their
constituents, they economised the wages of the poor
fellows who are appointed to sleep in door ways
onights, or doomed 10 walk like melancholy

city The election, however approaches, and these
men have votes; the city fathers, by the reduction
