FROM the YORK (Pa) Gazette.
The parties in this State taking the field for
the approaching election. The democrats every
where, SO far as we are able to Judge, putting
forward their strong men, and evidently intend that
their opponents shall not gain one foot of ground
without hard struggle
In the Allegheny district, Wilson McCandless
known throughout the State man of first rate
ability, and ardent supporter Of democratic prin-
ciples, has been nominated for Congress. He has
great personal popularity at home, and will poll a
very heavy vote. The district is at present repre-
scented by Mr.. Darragh, wing, who has been left of
the ticket this fall by his political friends.
In the Oath district at present represented by Mr.
Burlington wing, and composed of the counties OF
Armstrong, Butler, Indiana and Clear6ed, the demo-
have put in nomination Maj Findlay Patterson
Of the most popular men of the district, and he
will give his competitor hard race.
Mr.. Wilmot, the able democratic representative
of the 18th district, Bradford, Susquehannah, and
Tioga counties, has been unanimously renominated,
and will carry the district with rush. His oppo-
nent, if indeed there be one mustered against him.
will never be heard of after the first jump.
Morrow b. Lowry will probably represent the
22d district in the 36th Congress. The district Is
composed of the counties Of Venango Crawford,
and Mercer, and is invinciby democratic. It is at
present represented by Hon. William 8. Garvin,
who is not we understand, a candidate for renomi-
nation. .r ,.-.... H..
The 18th district, Lycoming, Northumberland,
Union, and Clinton, is at present represented by
Mr. Pollock, wing. The democrats of Union have
nominated Isaac Senker subject, Of course, to the
concurrence Of the other counties. The conferees
meet next week. Mr.. Senker formerly a
member of the senate of Pennsylvania, and is man
of considerable ability and personal worth.
In the 10Th district, Westnoreland, Bedford and
Cambria, at present faithfully represented by Hon.
Henry Foster, Job Mann, of Bedford, has been
nominated. The conferees from Westmoreand
Withdrew from the conference at the time of Mr.,
Mann's nomination, and this circumstance gave
short-lived hopes to the wings of the district.
The following paragraph, however, which we find
in the Bedford Gazette of Friday last settles that
little matter:
"We learn that the convention which reassembled
in Greensburg on last Tuesday resolved to support
the nomination Of Mr.. Mann, fact which will be
hailed with delight by the democracy throughout
the State. Whigery was chuckiing over a division
in the big district but they counted their chick
ems before they were hatched' All 10 well. Our
triumph will be complete and overwhelming
In Andrew Stewards district, the 18th, composed
of Somerset, Fayette, and Greene, the democrats
have nominated Daniel Weyand, Of Somerset He
is said to be a man of the fright sort"
Beaver and Washington counties, 10th district,
are at present "sort o. represented" by John IL.
Ewing, wing. Things have not fairly settled down
in that district for the October fight but the wings
Of Beaver have taken up John Dickey, and the
democrats Of Washington, William Hopkins. We
hope the democrats Of Beaver will concur in the
nomination OF Col Hopkins, as ne IL the very man
to bring about conquest of the district from whig-
cry, If such thing be among the possibilities
John Strohm at present represents our neghbor
Lancaster, and will probably represent her in the
goth Congress, as he is a candidate again. Well
as the fates will that district to be represented by
whig we do not know that we could desire any
thing better than the election Of Mr.. Strohm. He
is ,ohife blackbird
Wayne county is asserting her claims quite
strongly TO the nomination Of the democratic candi-
date for the 10th district, composed of the counties
Of Northampton, Monroe, Pike and Wayne. The
district ID now represented by Richard Brodhead
This district, York and Adams, Is at present rep
resented by Hon. Moses MCLEAN. The demo
cratic convention Of Adams assembled yesterday,
nominated Joel B. Danner, and appointed conferees
TO meet those Of York county. The democratic
convention Of York county meet in this borough to-
day. SO that, in our next paper, we shall be able
to display our banner for the campaign.
