balm and boauty: and we have every
assurance Of q fruitful season. Fins
rains and warm sunshine have CIV
On vegetation wonderful start; and
though the severe winter did great
damage to many plants, shrubs aud
trees, yet We are looking forward to a
bundant crops both in the garden and
in the field.
The foremost topic of conversation
just now, is the National Democratic
Convention which is to assemble at this
place on the Cd day ofJune next. Al
ready the vanguard Of the Democratic
members have arrived and the wiro-
pullers that hos had its theatre in Wash
mgton for some time past, will shortly
be transferred to our good "Queen of
the West" The two sets of delegates
from New York will make some "noise
and confusion, and lively time gene
ly is anticipated but the Editor OF the
Enquirer here the leading Democratic
journal in the West, is deprecating the
quarrel in New York and pleads for
reconciliation or almost any thing, 80
that the national council shall not be
disturbed by local strifes and chickering's.
Harmonious Democracy OF course,
all sorts of speculations are rife, among
your local politicians, as to who will be
the successful candidate for Presiden-
| tial honors before the Convention. We
have had here already, one quite en-
thusiactic gathering that was favorable
to the nomination of Buchanan, while
the men that eat in the government
stalls, are quite as obstreporous for
Pierce. The nomination of Fillmore
&Donalsor by acknowledging meets
a hearty response from that organize
ton, and the Black Republicans are
in the field, pulling the wires in prepa-
ration for the Convention in Philadel-
phia, on the 10Th June next. Salmon
P. Chase, Judge Mclean, Gov. Seward
N. p. Banks .jr., are the prominent
men before the Republican party
There will be very pretty race with
these candidates, or "nags," las the
Hon. Lew. Campbell is pleased to say
on the track and whichever wins, can
not all unite in invoking blessings upon
our common country. .,a gI
The recognition Of the new govern
ment of Nicaragua by our government
has set "Young America" all agog,
and matters of this sort less necessary.
The public is informed this morning,
that should Uncle Sam interpose no
obstacles, regiment under command
OF Col. ---, an attorney in one OF
sister cities, will leave in about two
weeks, to aid the Republicans of Near
aqua and it is added Col. --------- els
just the man to whip the Costa Ricans
out of their boots" The manifest des-
tiny men are quite satisfied with the
very general manifestation Of sympa-
thy with Gen. Walker; and | should
not be surprised if, ere many years, the
Republic away down South, now so re-
markably looming up, into public no.
tlce, should be knocking for admission
into the sisterhood Of States. | am re-
minded in this connection, of a witty
member Of Congress, from Tennessee,
| think, who upon the occasion of the
admission of Texas by joint res olution,
insisted upon this resolve: g Resolued
that this is a great country and is ex-
tending" How appropriate now! and
Indeed for all time to come for our
people will never be satisfied until the
"whole boundless continent is ours. -
The policy of the thing is quite anoth-
er question.
+ The Ohio 4 Mississippi Rail Road
is now in the hands irresponsible par
ties, abundantly able to carry on this
grcatand noble work to completion
The public is promised that the cars
shallrun through to St.Louis by the 1st
November next. Thus one after an
other of the great public improvements
ccntering in this city, is being compile
ted to add to our importance and pros
perity, and insure combinations of Ell.
We'd appellation, "Thc Queen of the
West" The great commercial revul-
sion of the last year has not been with
out its benefit; and now commerce and
manufacture and manufacture, upon
sure footing, start out with new i'm
! petus upon a career Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
! and wealth. Real property is advanc-
ing in this City very rapidly and i'm
provement and extension are the order
Of the day.
The Odd Fellows celebration here,
was q very fine and successful affair.
Baltimore has its monuments, New
York its commerce, Philadelphia its
right-angled streets, Boston its litcra-
ture, but Cincinnati has, of late, an
equal notoriety for great celebrations.
