Democratic banner., 1846-04-11
. BOWLING-GREEN, MISSOURI
SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL IL.
gf- The Nativists Of 81. Louis have sue

ceeded in e%iectlnG their ticket iof geHc1"'
officers. Camden's majority is said to be
.about3 800. We have been disappointed IN
the result of this election, 10! We coni-ient-
ly expected the success-o the democratic
ticket, and the complete overthrow OF tiis
;ntolerant faction. We still cannot think
that the reign of the proscriptives will oe
OF long duration in thi, magnificent young
city. Their temporary triumph IS the re-
suit of that dis affection in the democratic
ranks which has been the fruitful cause OF
SO much mischief, but which at last seems
to be giving way to returning reason.
Washington letter writers say hat the
British Minister has received advices from
his government that England willnot sub
nit another proposition for the adjustment
of the Oregon difficulty. We cannot rely
upon this rumor, though there may be some
ground for it. If it should prove true, war
will not only be imminent but inevitable
The bill for the purchase Of water-rot-
ted hemp for the use of the Navy, has pass
ed both branches Of the National Legisla-
ture. 1t only needs the signature of the
president to become alaw. There can be
no doubt,o On that subject; snd the hemp
growers OF the West may now confidently
expect that the produce of their labor will
not be rejected for an article Of an inferior
quality.
The Commercial Bulletin is the name Of a ne"
paper published at Boonville in this State, by J.
T. Quesenberry. Its Typographical appearance
i. decidedly neat; and the first number is edited
with much spirit and ability. If it, future issues
equal the present number, it will soon command
an extensive patronage. Mr.. Quesenberry Is
democrat, and we have reason to hope that h
sill be an efficient co-laboror in the good cause.
Mr.. Clay had arrived in St. LOUIS on tn
Sd inst. He had taken rooms at the Plan
ter's House and set a time for the receE
ton of his friends, both ladies and gentlemen
twas thought he would be detained b
business, perhaps a week, during whic
time the wings OF St. Louis and vicinity
will, no doubt, press in crowds to see t!,ei
favorite Statesman. All will be anxious
gaze upon the great orator of the West, bu
the wings, The enthusiastic wings OF SAN
Louis will eagerly seize this opportunity Q
shaking the hand Of the champion of thei
cherished principles.
We see from the proceedings OF Congress
that tine bill for raising and equippiny Q
two regiments of mounted rifemen for til
protection Of the epligrants to Oregon, wa
. most unexpectedly lostin the Senate. W
had expected that it would pass by a mos
decided majority. Pnt the increase of tn
army by the billfor filling up its other thir
companies was the excuse for the vote give
upon this bill. We are sorry that it wa
rejected because we think that the mountc,
rifemen were highly necessary for the de
fence Of our western frontiers, and tn
emigrants to the distant Oregon. We ha
ratherthat the bill for .he Increase of tn
army had been lost than that we shout
have been deprived of the services of thes
regiments.
We place in our columns of to day, til
proceeding ofthe democratic meeting hel
at the court House in this place, on the Ii
day of the Circuit Court.
Notwithstanding the rain which fell d,
ring the whole day, there was quite a gail
ering of the democracy, which is evidenc
OF the deep interest which the people fe
for the selection of suitable candidates =
During the progress of the whole meetiu
the greatest harmony and the best feelir
seemed 20 exist between the friends Of tt
different aspirants. We have no person
acquaintance with many of the nominee
but by character they are known to us
be good and true men. Just such men
