Ktse Candidates.

The number Of candidates will give the
people a good chance in selecting their
favori'es. As long as the wings as par.
,y do not present their own candidates.
we do not feel at liberty to recommend
any on the list. One has as much right
as the other to come out before the peo-
pie. As we understand it, they come on,
as Independents and not as wings. Not.
wi,hs,anding the powerful efforts of the
Gazette editor 10 get the democrats to
vote for his ticket, we hardly think he
will be able to rally those who have been
SO much longer here than himself, and
who know so much more abou, matters
and things than he does. He is considered
truly, the great MILITARY BACKER
OUT, and such characters our people
generally do not like to rally under. We
think the longest pole will knock down
the persimmons this time.

in furnishing the tables with well cooked
meats in all their riches, variety. The
pastry and buildings and other condiments
could not do otherwise than crafty The

IMPLICITLY satisfied with the provisions so
lavishly furnished. After The "clo,h was

A pretty prominent loco foco leader
has commenced tour through some of
the interior counties to en!igh,en the peo
pie and show them that il is their duty to
vote for the Constitution. He feels it The
more necessary to do this, since the
Gazette has lost caste. and possesses no
influence as an organ of the party. The
person who has thus volunteered TO en-.
tighten The "ignorant people" as he con.
siders them. has great object in view.
1t is no less than securing his bread and
butter. His popularity is now somewhat
on the wane, and he feels tina, something
must be done. He has made politics
trade. He has been in office ever since
Iowa had an existence, and wilhou, office
lie will not know how to live. /, is no,
known that he has during that time ever
earned cent BY his own labor, excep, as
he received il from the public crib. This
man. If successful in his present voluntary
mission among The people, expects to be
rewarded by a sea, in the Senate Of the
United States. He has long aspired for
such an Office, land it surely is worth labor
ing for. as he labors for il. Ii we are not
mistaken he is the very man who said of
the people, when speaking Of the Consli
tuition. Damn them, they shall swallow
it,"
We understand tha, he carries with
him, a kind of dancing bear, who was
caught where in the woods Of Yam
keedom. He takes him along, we pre-.
sumo, to attract attention and TO gather
the crowd.
We give the above information to our
| friends in the new counties. so that they
may be prepared to welcome these very
benevolent" political missionaries.

Tery Late from New Orleans. The
fine steamer Maria, SAYS the Mo. Repub.
llcan of the 9th. arrived last nigh, from n. .
Orleans. She left that por, on Thu sday
evening, and TO Mr. DURsT, her gentleman.
" clerk, we are indebted for files of pa.
pers to The Cd, inclusive. There had been
no arrival direct from the Rio Grande or
any part of the Mexican Republic. and
we are without news from the belligerent
quarter. The only item of any interest,
is contained in the following extract from
the Pensacola Democrat of the 26lh:
The U. S. brig Lawrence arrived here
on the 25th inst, seven days from BRACES
Santiago. having been employed block adj
ing the Rio Grande and BRACES and co.
operating with the army l03 days The
day the Lawrence left her station off The
Brazos Santiago. she was boarded by the
pilot, who stated that an express had
reached Gen. Tavlor's camp a, Ma,amn-
ros. sueing for peace. The authenticity
of this information depends upon The pi-
lot. as the Lawrence did not communicate
afterwards, in consequence of bad wealth.
er. 1t was the wish of the Lawrence To
remain day or two. for certain informa.
lion on the subject. but the shorlness of
her supplies forbade it.
The New Orleans Cotton Press was
sold on the goth, by the Sheriff, for $780,
600, cash. The lot has front on the
river of six hundred and ihrty.four fee,
eight inches, by three hundred and seven.
ty feet in depth. The buildings, lot and
machinery cost an immense amount Of
money, and the stockholders have los,
more than a million Of dollars.
The Maria mel eleven steamboats, from
the Ohio, with Kentucky and Ohio vol.
unteers on board.
The excessive heat Of The weather YES.
Ierdsy. caused the death of two Of the
firemen on board the Maria. They sick.
ened about the same time and althouoh
every effort was made 10 restore them.
they died in few hours. Their names
were not ascertaned.
