The Democratic Nominees.

We give below such expressions as the nomi- nations for the two congressional districts have called forth from the democratic press. It will be gratifying to the democracy to know that both nominations are well received by the press and the people.
 The following from Young America shows the high estimate in which Col RUST is held at home where he is best known and appreciated
 Albert Rust.
 Never has it fallen to our lot. in our limited political experience, to witness such perfect sa- tisfaction in any political movement, as that ma- infested by the people of this congressional dis trlct, in the nomination of Albert Rust as a candidate for Congress- Not only are demo- crats unanimous ln their endorsement of our champion in the approaching contest, (if it be worthy of the name of contest, to elect a demo- crat in our district, when nearl all are demo- crats now,) but whigs even, for once, seem sa- tisfed that democracy has selected for the peo- pie one we'll qualified and we'll worthy of the position, in question. Long ago, the name of Albert Rust was wont to be suggested when manliness, honesty, and strength of purpose and power have been mentioned The remark
 
 uncompromisingy earnest and determined in his honest convictions, and dispses too heartily all wire working and movements dictated by policy, ever to become successful politician y that we are almost surprised ourself to find him so enthusiastically endorsed by men of all par ties and factions The truth is, policy and humbuggery, will win for time, but truth is mighty, and will in the end, prevail. Without seeking the nomination, preferring, as he ex- pressed himself after the Hot Springs conven- ton, " to be a gentleman above being member of Congress-" Col. Rust now has the satsfac- tion of occupying the last position with his character for manly independence, and honor, as untarnished and unquestioned, as in all the previous honorable history of his life. Under the existing circumstances, we can but congra- tulate our democratic friends of the district upon their wise selection, and further heartily congratulate the whole people of our State upon their good fortune in having secured fo1 the next official term, gentleman of so much ability and character to represent them in the councils of the nations
 From the Van Buren Inte igencer
 Our Nominee.
 The Hon. A. B. GREENWOOD was nominated on the first ballot by large vote, in the con- vention which met at Batesville last week: and he now stands before the voters of the lst con- gressonal district, as the democratic nominee and will undoubtedly, as he richly merits, re- ceive the united vote of the party next August The unanimity with which the democratic party have renominated Judge Greenwood is not only highly complimentary to the worth of our representative, but demonstrates the harmo- ny that exists in the ranks of the democracy and should call forth the hearty and cordial support of the whole party.
 Judge Greenwood has but made his advent in Congress, yet he has introduced many inn portant measures for the benefit of his consti- tuents which he has ably and indefatigably supported with tlattering prospects of success He has attended with great punctuality and success, large amount of business before the executive departments which have been con- tided to him by his constituents
 We hardly believe there will be any oppo- siton to his election bs our whg adversares.- There appears to by general acquiescence on the part of the whigs in this part of the State, to the reelection of Judge Greenwood not only because they know how hopeless {; contest would prove, but because they appre- ciate his worth and ability.
 tCnGreS,IOna: NOsninee---2d District. W learn that after two days unsuccessful ballotings in the Princeton convention, held last week, W here the names of Col Warren ana Col.
