The 22D IN Sr. LOUISVILLE great DEM

The 22D IN ST.. Lours.-The great DEM
onstration has at last been made. The
mongrrl meeting at St. Louis, to nominate
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, is said to
have been one Of the richest and most up
roar5hus pieces Of confusion ever seen in
that city. How could it be otherwise?-
were the simon pure Wings, the no
party Taylor men, and the Natives, all ca
ger to turn the meeting to their own ac-
count. The simon pures endeavored 10
render the meeting a piece Of party ma
ichinery, by drilling the pliable, and out
managing the ungovernable; while the Va
tires and no-pary combustion men,, having
the ~ascendency, shouted loud and long for
their f~avorite speakers-"McDowell'-
"Thompson''-" Wright"- Eager" Sc
After a great effort the President succeed
ed in awarding the floor to Mr.. Bates, who
submitted a resolution for the appointment
Iof Committees, SC. Then the Rotunda
rang again with deafening shouts for the
lions of the meeting, until professor Nc
IDowcll, the greastcst lion Of the whole
Menagerie, mounted the Rostrum. As the
applause, produced by his majestic appear
ance, subsidized, he commenced by denounc-
ing all caucuses, Democratic or Whig-de-
claring for "the people, cid lack, and
nothing else'-and that he would resist
any resolution, or effort, to make the meet
ing a party affair, or to submit Taylor's
claims to a party Convention. He belabor-
ed the present Congress for its want of pat
riotism, and derided the Wings for voting
for the war and afterwards opposing the
Ten Regiment bill. He gave a side thrust
at the Administration, and declared that
|"Clay couldn't be elected any-how"-de-
Iscribed the wire-working going on--and
laid down the "Taylor platform to be, hos
tility to all party nominations or Conven-
tons" He was followed in tho SANE
ground by several other lesser lions, in op-
position to party manGveIing, or any party
character of the meeting-that it was en-
phatically a "no-party combustion" meet
ing, to nominate old Rough and Ready for
the Presidency.

the esidenc

Ma. ED1roR: Whilst the Democratic par
'ty Of this county is making efforts for a
complete organization, in view Of the ap-
preaching elections to be held in August
and November next, | deem it altogether
proper that we should begin to enquire a.
mongst ourselves what members of the par.
!ty can be selected, most suitable to be nomi-
mated for the varions Offices that We shall
be called upon TO fill.
Without d~isparagement to the claims Of
any individual who has been spoken of, !
would suggest the name of N. P. MINOR,
Esq, in connection with the Office of Rep
rcsentative in the lower branch of the next
Legislature. It is unnecessary tina. | should
say anything in behalf Of the qualifications
Of Mr.. Minor, for | presume that his con-
n~exion with the party Of this county, ha,
been of such a character as to make him
thoroughly acquainted in every portion Of
it; and sufficient to prove him not only a
Democrat of the right stamp, but also capa-
BILE of defending the principles of our par
.ty upon any and all occasions. We should
recollect that the next canvass will not be
confined exclusively to the discussion of
questions Of State policy, but all the excit-
ing topics connected with the next Presi-
Dental canvass, will be necessarily brought
hefDre the ~neonln. II iS proner then that
we should select our ablest champions
men capable of defending the principles of
the party, and contesting every inch of
ground that may be assumed by the Wings.
With this view Of the subject, it seems to
me that no person can be selected more
capable than Mr.. Minor; and he will confer
a favor upon a large portion of the Demo-
Gratis in this county, by responding to the
above call at his earliest convenience.

Mr.. EDiroR: You will permit me through
the medium Of Jour paper, to call the at
~tention of the Democrats Of this county to
the name of Col. Thomas R. Vaughn, Of
Calumet Township, as a candidate for the
office of Sheriff. have no doubt that all
will concur in the opinion that great imper-
ltance should be attached to the selection of
ia candidate for this Office. Among the
qualiic atoms necessary TO fit a man %fortiis
Office, the most prominent are his business
talents and habits, as well as his devotion
to the principles of our party; and SO far as
these are concerned all who know Col.
Vaughn will readily admit that no n pos
~sesses them in a more eminent degree than
he does. His location also another promi-
nent consideration in this matter, is anoth-
er great ihducement to make him the can
didate of the party for this Office. Col.
Vaughn will be good enough TO make known
his feelings in regard to this matter, as ear
lily as possible CULVER.

The Power of Sympathy

Kindness is like the blessed sun, diffusing'light
And warmth and joy where'er its rays extend.
Ii stealeth ferveny about the heart
And nelts the icy chill of cold reserve
1t penetrates the hardest heart, and works
It's silent, warm and soul -snbduing way,
Till all the force of prejudice ana pride,
Of envy, scorn, suspicion jealousy,
Is unawares disarmed and stubborn hearts,
That never felt kindly impulse stir
The feelings of humanity within,
Are sotened by the magic power of love,
Z And love in turn. BlesI semblance of the God!
Who has not felt the craving bosom yearn
For sympathy? For heartfelt sympathy?
Who would not love such tender sympathy
As little children give from bursting hearts,
Unknowing guile. and throbbing with depth
OF feeling that Dtaturer souls should know.
Oh, tits glorious need its heaven-ike
Ii is the Zest of life. Without such warmth
The world would soon grow cold and dt adj and all
Worth living fol would then be gone, and man
BE left to perish, isolated and lone.

One smile, one act, erlete with warmth of soul,
Though tri ne in itself, than all the forms
And cold conventionalities SO rife
Among mankind. Custom should be observed,
''rs true, but let it have pith, possess
purpose, weight and end, and not degenerate
Into mere emptiness. Methinks the world
Would be far better off, if all possessed
