The Nationals" Convention

The Jefferson Inquirer gives an account
of the proceedings of the Convention of the
Nationals, which nominated Mr.. Stewart.
1t began Monday morning, and closed Tues
day night, about midnight. We copy the
''closing scenes"
EVENING SESSION.
The Convention met at "a o'clock.
The committee on credentials reported
some forty-three counties represented in
every imaginable manner, ana by every i'm
aginable stamp of politicians N :, ex-
wings, ex-old lines, ex-freesoilers, and a
small sprinkle of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS y
with an occasional "ex-nullifer," and a
host of "eross- road politicians"
1t was Convention Of heterogeneous
conglomeration-politically.
Several unimporiant resolutions were Of
fered, for the purpose Of allowing "respon-
sible' members an opportunity Of defining
their responsible position.
The evening was spent in listening TO the
learned gentleman from St. Louis, who
held up their strength as terror to those
small counties with big representatives.
Nominations being in order, the Conven-
ton proceeded as follows:
Reid, of Jack son, nominated Col. Robert
Nj. Stewart, Of Buchanan county.
DR.. Cundiif of Cass, nominated Hon.
Willard P. Hail, of Buchanan county.
Mr.. Mccain, of st. Clair, nominated
Judge Waldo P. Johnson, of ST. Clair.
Mr.. Alley nominated Ferd. Kennelt, Of
Washington.
Mr.. Mosely nominated Thomas B. Eng.
lish, Of Cape Giradeau. .....
DR.. Mcfarland nominated AIordecai Oil.
vey, Of Ray.
There were three or four "cross road
politicians" put forward, but were with.
drawn.
No election on the first ballot:
The second ballot resulted as follows:
Stewart, 20,362; Hall, 1858; Kennett
5,ll Is; Oliver, 1859.
Mr.. Stewart was declared the unanimou:
choice of the Convention.
The noise and confusion was SO great a
this juncture, that we left. Thus has ended
the great national humbug Of 1857.

E-Gen. Ranney, of St. Louis, who has
been identified with the American Party
since its organization, at public meeting in
St. Louis, made the following speech, which
tersely relates the good he has done the
country, and his future position. He was
an aspirant for Governor, in the American
party AN Independent Candidate for U. 5
Senate, and probable has some good promi-
ses in his pocket, now:
Young men for war, and old men for
counsel. wish now, after warfare OF
forty years, to withdraw from active poll
tics. The South American party, with their
noble patriotic leader, Fillmore, has been
instrumental in the defeat of Northern Ia
nalicism and Northern disunion. The
country is now safe, and therefore fall
into the ranks Of my old Iriends-upon the
Democratic platform. l have received
hattering proposals to canvass the Stale
but such course is at variance with bo,f
my interests and my inclination. / wish II

Ath Of March.

Yesterday was Inauguration Day. tn,
crowds were gathering in, at last dates, ant
many will have left, ere this reaches Gun
subscrlbers--s ONE sad, some gay: some full
ly impressed with the greatness and gene
rosity of the republic Others ready to swear
the whole thing is a failure. Some bod,
has done up" Office seeking and seekers
in rhyme, as follows:-
saw him--he had come
From his far distant home
In the West,
A jinging purse he showed
And in the latest mode
He was dressed.
His face was all smile
And lie talked all the while
How he took
Such an interest in the late
Election in his State
For old Buck.
He'd always felt the tic
OF party-let it rise,
Let it fall.
Twas not fer the reward
That he had worked SO hard,
Not at all.
But Office he could bear,
As the bravest soldier'd wear
Epaulets,
Which fix his rank you know
(And 10 the public show
What he gets.)
saw him after that,
He had kinky hat
On his head.
HIS shoes were worn away
And his pockets seemed say
Nary Red.
And loudly he declared,
That for party men he cared
Not Il jot;
He scorned their dirty tricks,
As for politics,
Twas plot.
Folks saw the sudden change,
And thought it wondrous strange,
At the best;
Our friend did not explain,
But took an early train

Eurley's Sarsapariila!

THE GREATEST MEDICINE of the .AGEy
TINE Proprietor OF Hurley's Sarsapariila has,
l. during the past season, received hundreds Of
testimonials from all parts OF the Union to the
virtues Of this unequaled remedy, for a variety
Of diseases TO which mankind is subject. In no
one case that he is aware of has il failed TO give
satisfaction when taken according TO the direc-
tons enclosed with each bottle.
The Sarsaparllla Root has long been used by
the Faculty as a remedial agent, il being found in
certain cases to be superior TO all other remedial
agents known, but the great difficulty experienced
in obtaining the pure extract, and the NJ nberess
quack preparations termed Syrups OF Sarsaparil-
la palmed upon the public has operated 10 pre-
vent its use SO extensively as it deserves. These
objections are all obviated in this compound
The proprietor Importing the Root
himself, and guaranteeing it free from all dell
eterious mixtures.
In all cases of Debility, Bilious Attack, Piles,
Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Syphilis, Indigestion,
Liver Complaint, &c., it viii be found invaluable

Improyemert Of Western Rivers.

The new Democratic Senator from this
State, Mr.. GREEN, is after all nothing but
the usual dish Of Anti Benton Locofocoism.
Almost bis first act in The Senate was TO op.
pose bill for the appropriation of 500, 0OC
for the Improvement Of the Ohio river. We
never expected anything better at his hands
and do not doubt but that he would also OPP.
pose an appropriation TO improve the Mis-
souri, river. Well, it is perhaps all right
Missourians ought TO lave known bettel
than 10 send such man To Congress. Per
haps they will learn some day not 70 trus
such men with such vital interests. Lex
ipgtOn Express.
or course Mr.. Green would oppose al
appropriation for The improvement Of tn
Missouri, or any other river, in the United
States--but il money is wanted TO explore
the Dead Sea, or the river Nile, he will volt
| for that.

I%The New Orleans Delta, warm
supporter of Buchanan, in an article upon
Perce's message, is guilty Of the following:
"And after all, il is not all certain that
Mr.. Buchanan will give us more compre-
hensive or vigorous policy. The latter is a
cold-blooded politicians; OF all men man of
expediency; man whho did not achieve the
Presidency, but merely lived into ii, BY pa
tiently hiding his time, and keeping himself
in good state of preservation, until other
old stagers had dropped off or been retired
upon the superannuaed list. What can
such man with luke warm blood, and weak
eerebellum, however clear his intellect, do
but preside respectfully over a circunlocu-
ton officel But we forget-we beg pardon
we are under promise not to PREJUDICE
Mr.. Buchanan's administration; so we ask
the reader 10 consider anything in the fore
going, that may look like prejudgement, re-
tracted for the nonce, and all we have tc
say as to the probabilities OF Mr.. Buehan'
ans regime is, Nous verrous."
