Democratic authorities sanguine that Barret viii

the workingmen Of the 9th ward held, when BsTet

yious The opposition waging the contest with mucf

that particular neither OF them be objected to by
national democrats the friends of Mr.. Buchanans sd
rnirstraton. The only marked difference between the
two is that while Mr.. NOEL claims TO be the regular
nominee of the democratic party, Mr. Zegler avo~s him
self candidate independent Of party and declares that
he has been invited to run by Benton and Ameri-
cans well by democrats Mr.. Zeigcr, it "a true,

by contending thai the convention fairly cons
tted the generality Of similar Conventions and he
pecally that its proceedings and nomination
have been ratified by the universal scquiccnce Of the
democracy of the district in county meetings The Re
publican adds that under this state of the Case, demo
consider Gen Soell the better entitled to sup
