The Spartdns in CoacLape.

The indomtable Democracy of this city met at
he City Hall Saturday night, and went through
he solemn farce of nominating candidate, for the
Legislature. The aspect of the meeting was
indsscribably and unutterably funereal, not more
han thirty or forty of the faithful being in at
tendance. Nevertheless, two or three hours
were consumed in baoting for the nominees
Mr.. John M. Patton was nominltel f,r the
Senate and Judge Crump, Mr.. N. B. Hill and
Samuel It. Bayly, Esq. for the House of Dele
gntes.
When Judge Crump's name was brought for
ward, Me- Denoon rose an expressed the hope
that it would not be the pleasure of the meeting to
nominate that gentleman. He said that Judge
Crump had made Native American speech
some years ago, and he thought there should be
some explanation of his position on that question
before the Democracy of this city put him fer
. ward as their candidate. Native Americanism
and Democracy, he said, were antagonist princl-
Piles. But the speakers protest was not needed by
the meeting, and Judge Crump was nominated by
a large majority We know nothing of the speech
alleged by Mr. Denoon to have been made by
Judge Crump, but the matter is worthy of fur
against Gen. Scott tor having once expressed
sentiments favorable to the Native American
party, the Democracy of this city have brought
out candidate who entertains similar views p
We hope to have some further light on this sub
ject.
OMNIBUsEs VS.. HACKs.-Moses w. Garrison,
driver of one of Mr. MAYORS Omnibuses. was
hauled up before the Mayor Saturday upon the

interfered with George, who is hack driver, by
driving his omnibus backwards and forwards
across the sti Get at Rockstts near Messrs. Has-
kins " Libby's so as to prevent the hack from
passing the omnibus. Finally, however, tho
hickman whipped his horses aud dashed past
the ON nibus; but as it passed, Garrison struck
George over the head with his whip. These
facts having been fully proven. to the Mayors
satisfaction, on Saturday, Garrison was fined S.,
