After n season of more than common labor, the
Democratic Conference has brought forth ii.ke.
TO which the yes Of the faithful arc to be
given, with a view TO its election. Tiis resa. is
not looked upc with ths same degree OF reasona-
bic certainty as Il was before the nominations,
owing to the dissa,sia,,iOn that prevails among
the democracy, at the choice of Sharswood and
stroud (whigs) upon the bench Of the District
Csurt. This may be enough to swamp the whole
ticket, If it continues TO gather strength i. has
for the past few days; but then that feeling on n
local question may be swallowed up in the huzza
ths. Is coming on the state question; and thi,
branch Of the tiekc: will swim along with the res:
One thing Is eertain-that the question has taken
strong hold Of the minds cf the radical portion
OF the democracy hsrc, aud they are breathing
vengeance against Il. r. Young who holds stu

ana William J. Grams, who Is a clerk in the County
Prison, majority OF The inspectors Of which are
demcua,s, for wha, they say is a violent outrage
on the principles nf the democracy, and calculated
10 PROSTATE IL IN the city aud county. The faithful
say bat he who lives by the party shoud a. least
not turn the spos over into the camp Of the enemy.
