THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

We have no hesitation in saying from information
we have received, that Mr.. Bragg will accept the
nomination so cordially rendered him by the late
Convention. lie had not received the official notice
of his nomination, as he was on attendance on his
Courts, but may look for his letter of acceptance
by next ISSUE He was at Halifax Court the
present week. The nomination was made so short
time preceding Halifax and Northampton Courts
not to admit of his making arrangements to have
his business in those Courts attended to; and be-
Sides he would have been compelled in any event.
to take few days to arrange his business before
leaving home. Those who had confided their bus
to him had right to expect this at his hands
He will commence the canvass at the earliest mo-
ment practicable; and to those who know his habits
of labor and indomitabe energy it is unnecessary to
say that he will perform his whole duty.

country inn, he inquired OF the landlord the dis
tanco 10 tho next town. The host coming ou,
was SO forcibly struck with tho appearance of
the animal upon which the queriat sat that he
walked around him twice before giving the re-
qulred information. he then inquired:

A GREAT ScHENE.-A project has been start
cd again to unto Lake Michigan and the Mis-
EissipPl by steamboat navigation. A writer in a
Cnioaso paper suggests that, by turning the
water OF Lake Michigan through the South
branch OF the Chicago river to Bridgeport
thence oy the nortf, branch of the soutl, branch
10 Mud Lake. and bya channel to be ,lrssse,I
through that Lake to the Des PLANES to the dis.
tsnce that might be found necessary. a sntEci.u,
supply may be obtained to prevent any inter
rupiion OF navigation of the Illinois and Missis
eippi rivers on account Of low water. The dis
tance from Chicago to the Des PLANES. by fl,,
proposed route. is only fourteen miles. a nd Il i
estimated that the deepest excavation would no
exceed twenty five feet.
