half a victory 10 our enemies; but give us an au-
mitied close contest-sive US combat demand
ing all our vigilance, all our strength, all our en-.
thusiasm-and we can promise 10 show result
that will prove lasting monument! to The inleg.
rily of Democratic principles.

Comment at this time is useless; stronger
team could not have been put in the field; they
are Democrats we'll tried and Iue.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS We
have announced already, in an Extra, the nomi.
nation by the Baltimore Convention, OF General
Lewis Cass for The Presidency and Major Gen.
VIM. O. Butler for The Vice Presidency oil these
United States We had every confidence that The
Convention would nominate men worthy OF our
support-that they have given US such men, who
will deny7-men who have distinguished Them
selves al home and abroad. in civil and military
lie. We have flung our banner 10 The breeze,
and our prospects of success may be read in the
detected faces OF our opponents.
We confess we are al loss 10 know what will
be said against our candidates But We suppose
that The flood gates will soon be hois,ed BY the
leaders OF the Wing Parry, and thai thai yitupera
ton and abuse which have been long damned IN
Tor The occasion, will be poured out upon their
heads as torrent. But it will not avail. We
confidently believe tina. with such men, such prin.
ciple. and such party as ours, we may brayely
and cheerlully welcome our opponents TO The con.
test and bid Them proud defiance under any lead.
er and in spite OF any mean. which they may nse
to defeat Us. Let The Democratic parry rally,
unite, organize, and 60 10 work in good iah and
earnest. Lei associations be formed in every
town, village and hamlet, and The country will
reap as The fruits OF our Toll, in continuance of
that prosperity which under Democratic admin
isralion il now enjoys.

NOMINATION OF GENERAL Glass;
The Democracy of the country will rejoice TO
hear The result Of the deliberations of the Ma.
tional Convention-and although we did not get
our individual preference, still with as much
zeal will we support General Cass as We would
the distinguished gentleman whose name has
graccd our columns for some time back. The
late hour at which we received the nomination,
prevents US from saying much, and we must de-
fer until next week any further remark, at
which time we hope 10 be able 10 show that the
nomination is we'll received, and that it is sufi-
ciently strong without the aid Of "hard CIDER
or any humbug argument, TO gain supporters.
"Principles not men, is the motto Of the De.
mocracy-while, on the other hand, our oppo.
nents, (many of them,) arc contending that their
principles are "obsolete," and avai ability is the
only qualification they REQUIRE their candidate
10 possess. The nomination was made on
Thursday. On the fourth ballot General Cass
received l79 votes, out Of 2 4, the whole num-
Der cast. Owing to the difficulty which existed
between the New York Delegations, both Of
whom were admitted TO seals, that State did not
vote on the nomination. On the third ballot
General William o. Butler received the unani-
nous nomination for the Vice Presidency. Some
four Wing friends think it strong ticket, but
would like it better, they say. if Buffers name
was placed first. OF one ling we are entirely
confident, the ticket is strong enough 10 beat
any one they can form. They feel its force, and
they fear it.
