SUPREME JUDGESHgP--.COL.
HOAGLAND OF HOLMES.

So general is the belief among all
classes hat the Democracy will COM
pletely triumph over Black Republican
ism at the election in this State next
fall, that speculations are already being
made among the Democratic press on an
entire State ticket. A Suprom, Judge
is to be elected. Only one Democrat
Chief Justice Bartley-remains upon the
bench, but it is evident hat another can
be triumphantly elected. 1t is impor-
tant, too, that a man should be selected
who has been thoroughly identified with
the doch ines and policy of the Demo
cratic party, and who is sound and ma
tional in sentiment on all questions of
the day. With all these qualifications,
there is none in the State, perhaps, SO
we'll suited to the position as Hon. Mo-
ses Hoagland of Holmes. The Democ-
racy of the Fifteenth Congressional Dis
trict are entitled to one of the candidates
on the State ticket. Mr.. G. II. Mitch
ner, of Tuscarawas county, who was
spoken CT for Secretary ofState, declines
being a candidate for that Office, and be-
sides, we think the claims of Holmes
are paramount to all others in the dis
trict. But not alone on these grounds
do we bring forward the name of Col.
Hoagland Tor this position-his person
al merits are worthy of the highest con-
sideration. Acknowledged for talent
and ability-his extensive legal knowl-
edge and long experienc at the bar
and his answering adherence to true
national Democracy, render him not on
ly highly capable of filing the position,
but acceptable to the party throughout
the State. He has been tried. He
was in Congress amid the scenes and hot
contests of 1850, and took an active part
in favor of the Compromise Measures.

political worth, than this. We append
a few of the notices as they appeared in

NEW CITIES 1N-ruE WEST.

Speculation in the West has ran MAD.
There never was such a rush to any sim
gle quarter of the Gontinent-not even

day when they departed from the safe
maxim of "letting well emo Ugh alone"
We only want a larger proportion of

West The Cleveland Herald refer
ring to this subject, says:
Step foot west of the Mississippi, and
the only topics Of conversation arc lands,
cities, and railroads. New towns, cities,
and railroads spring up like Jonah's
gourd, many to perish as suddenly.
The recent trip of the steamer Omaha,
up the Missouri to Sioux City, illustrates
the subject. The Clerk, Mr.. Wilcox,
states that the Omaha was the first boat
up for six months, so that be had a good
chance to note changes. He found ST.
oux City crowded with people to attend
the land sales, May 18th, and provisions
up to best California prices. At Omadi,
twelve miles below, the boat was beset
with a gaunt, hungry-looking crowd, with
plenty of money in their pockets but no
food in their bellies. There was not a
particle of flour or meat in towR-the
last corn got of the Indians had been
used up. Mr. W. reports the following
new towns sprung up in Nebraska du-
ring the last six months, between Flor
nee and Sioux City-Rockport, Cum
ing City, Hiawatha, WoodVille, Johanna,
Central City, Plyeburgh, Verona City,
Covington, Franklin City, and "many
others"-and thus graphically describes
their locations, advantages, growth, and
prospects:
These Settles" contain from one to one

we're inundated, and water lots went off
with a rush. The city of Hiawatha
contains one log cabin-Woodville ditto,

their first, and in the only copy, there is
a strong appeal TO purchasers to buy lots
which were going off rapidly, as has
since proven to be the case-during the
rise most of the lots went "ofn into
the river, and tho Missouri, in payment
for the water lots taken, left a deposit
two feet sandy on the part inundated,
which includes all Of Woodville. At
De Soto, "a city Of twenty houses,) their
weekly organ mentions with considerable
gusto that the election for "Mayor ard
Aldermen" went off the day previous
with great spirit, Sc. One of the first
of the new board was to pass an or
der that all streets in the city must be
cleared" (of drift-wood, probably, with
it was filled during the rise) on
before the lst June, &c. PIeyburg,
Franklin City, and many other cities of
the same stamp, will contain houses when
arc erected. Owing to the absence
any inhabitants during the late inun-
.lation, the loss of life was not great.
