to unite with the great Republican Party.
NATIVE AMERICAN DEMONSTRATION IN
WASHINGTON
There was very large meeting at the City
Hall, in this place, on the evening of the 9th
uls, got up by the Know Nothings and emil
vened by music and sky-rockets. Resolutions
were passed in opposition to those adopted by
the Administration meeting, held few even-
ings before, and embodying the principles Of
the old Native American Party. Fervent
speeches were made, and the meeting adjourn
ed at late hour. Good order prevailed, the
opponents of the proceedings having resolved,
we suppose, to return good for evil
OHIO POLITICS.
CINCINNATI Sept. 26, 1854.
To the Editor of the National Era:
The nominations in the various districts have
now been nearly all made, both by the Nebras-
ka party and the Republican party, and the
contest is now waxing quite warm The Old
Line Democracy in this county held their pri-
mary elections some ten days ago The vote in
the townships in the county was exceedingly
small, and they made no show, except in one
or two Catholic Wards. In one Catholic Ward,
they polled nearly as many votes as all the
county townships combined This Ward has
only about 400 Democratic voters, but they
polled 700 votes at this primary election. By
this kind of fraud the ticket was put in nemi-
nation. George H. Pendleton and William S.
Groesbeck are tho candidates for Congress.
They will be opposed and beaten by j. Scott
Harrison and Timothy C. Day. With Mr..
Harrisen's course in Congress your readers are
acquainted. enclose Mr.. Days manly letter,
which your readers will read with interest.
Mr.. Day was formerly editor of the Enquirer,
and is talented man. He has opposed the
Nebraska scheme from the start, and will re-
ceive the united support of all the opponents of
the Administration Mr.. Disney was oandi-
date for denomination in this district, but was
beaten by Pendleton. Only one of the four
from this State who voted for the Nebraska
bill, Mr.. Olds,) has been able to secure re-
nomination.
The following Democrats, who voted against
the bill have been renominated by their party,
viz: Andrew Stewart, VIM. d. Lindsey, H. H.
johnson; but they now exhibit disposition to
acquiesce in the matter, and adhere to the
support Of the Administration 30 they are not
supported by the Republicans-theyb believing,
with Wilmot, that no person maintaining an
alliance with the present Administration can
be relied on. The only Democratic member of
the last Congress from this State, who holds on
to his Anti-Nebraska faith, is M. H. Nichols,
of the fourth district, who was rejected by the
Old Line party, and is now the independent
candidate against DR.. Dorsey, the Nebraska
candidate
In the fifth (Toledo) district, the Democratic
candidate and convention have been compelled
to take Nebraska ground but they cup
port the Administration, and the Republicans
have nominated Richard Mott as their candi.
date.
In the eighth district, the Republicans have
nominated Hon. Benjamin Stanton, Wing
member of Congress two years ago.
In the ninth district, Cooper Tn. Watson, of
Seneca, is the candidate. Ho has been an
active member Of the Free Democracy hither-
to, and was our candidate for Attorney Gener-
al last year.
In the eighteenth district, Hon. B. F. Letter
formerly Democratic Speaker of the Legisla-
ture, and President of our Anti Nebraska State
Convention, has received the Republican nomi-
nation.
In the tenth district, Mr.. Taylor, the Wing
member, is not renominated; but o. F. Moore,
a more progressive man, is renominated. Mr..
Taylor voted right on the Nebraska question,
but voted against the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave Law, and voted in 1850 for the Compro-
mise Measures.
