CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS. democrats
in the several wards Of this city assemble to-mor-
row to select delegates TO nominate candidates tor
Congress, State Senator and Assembly. The con-
test for nominations for Congress will be very
spirited, as there are large number OF candidates
in the field in the several districts In the Ihlrd
comprising the firs second, third, fourth and hlh
wards. the names Of Oliver Charlick, James l.
Roosevelt, Charles G. Ferris, Charles A. Secor,
Robert H. Morris, Emanuel b. Hart, Edmund >.
Derry and Wright Hawkes., are presented. In the
Fourth District, comprising the sixth, seventh,tenth,
aud thirteenth wards. the names of VIM. McClay,
John Emmans, James r. Whiting, Samuel J.
Willis, Bernard Messerole, Elias L. Smith and
James Cook are before the people. In the Fifth
District, comprising the eighth, ninth and TOUR
teenth wards, the two prominent candidates are
Charles p. Brown, late President of the Board OF
Assistant Aldermen, and Moses G. Leonard, the
present member from that district; also, DR..
Hasbrouck, DIR. Jack Bloodgood, Townsend Har-
ris, and Mark Spencer. The prospects of Blosd-
good in the Fourteenth Ward are promising in
deed. In the sixth district, which includes the
llth, 18th, l5h 10Th and 18th wards, the only pro-
minent candidates are Eli Moore and Saul Alley,
the former of which will probably be selected
The contest in the Sd district will be between Char
lick and Secor. In the fourth between McClay
and Emmans; and in the fifth, between Leonard
and Brown The wings have nominated J. Phil
lips Phenix in the third district, and Hamilton
Fish in the sixth The "natives'' have chosen DR..
Henry s. Lawrence for the fourth district, and the
wings will probably support him, although he has
always heretofore been democrat. In the fifth
district, the ssnatives" have chosen Thomas M.
Iao and Glaup an
although formerly democrat. In The sixth dis
trict, William w. Campbell, whig law
yer, has been chosen, who will probably
withdraw in favor Of Fish on the morning Of
the election The "natives'' have not yet nomi-
mated in the third district although they rendered
their influence to John G. Hamilton, who declined
the honor. They will probably conclude to support
Mr. Phenix, who favors their notions of twenty
one years for naturalization The "natlvss" hav-
ing stolen march upon the wings in the fourth
and fifth districts. it has caused much confusion IN
the ranks Of the latter party. In the fourth, Hiram
Ketchum and Morris Franklin are talked about, but
Lawrence will probably supercede Franklin, as
Harper did last spring. In the fifth district, John
Scoles, Wm.W. Todd, and MIR. Frost, are the
prominent men. The Wings will probably not
nominate in these districts until after tho demo-
Gratis have chosen.

tended, adjourned without any riot or confusion.
