The st. Louis Nationals.

The St. Louis "National' Democrats,
including Old Line Wings, Emancipation
lists, and ofice-holders, it is estimated,
number fifteen hundred. By their factious
opposition, Blair was put in Congress, but
the leaders who stood up against him, go,
good offices from the Government. They
are now fixing TO re-elect Blair, and ge.
pay for it, too. They had a nominating
Convention, the other day, which the re-
porter of the Democrat attended, and repor-
ted in detail. We give portion:-
Mr.. Hogan, moved to 20 into nomination
for candidate for Congress.
A county delegate said, if any gentleman
put candidate in nomination, he hoped il
would be stated whether or no that candi-
date would canvass the district if nomina.
ted.
Mr.. DOugherty, proposed the name Hon.
J. B. Bowlin.
Mr.. Page, Of St. Louis township, pro.
posed the name Of General Jno. ID. Coalter
Mr.. Lonsucmaire, proposed the name ol
Jas. Richard Barrett.
Mr.. Cullan, said he knew that among the
Democracy were many old line wings
When the mother of the Gracchi was asked
where were her jewels, she pointed TO her
children; and when the father Of Democra.
cy is asked where are his jewels, he can
point with pride TO many Old Line Wings.
He, for one, believed that General Coalter
was once an Old Line Wing, bu. now a
New Line Dsmocrat-a jewel.
Mr.. Hogan, said General C. was an Old
Line Wing like himself, but now Nation
al Democrat.
Mr.. Donovan SAID he believed we ought
not 10 ask where man has been, or where
he came from. What is he now? That is
what we want 10 know. Is he now an Ad-
ministration Democrat? What are we 10
do with the twenty thousand Americans
in this State? They must come to US or 60
over TO the Black Republicans. The
Know Nothing Party i. defunct. The
contest is TO sustain Mr.. Buchanan, and he
recognized any one who would do that, no
matter what he had been heretofore. l
want TO know now what he is, not what he
has been.
A Delegate-Mr. Coalter supported
Buchanan; heis now Democrat Of the ma
tional school.
Judge Cook, would have no trading-no
pickering. He was party man. He was
told that Mr.. c. had voted for Major Rol-
Inns, and SO help him God he would vote
for no supporter of that chief of Know
Nothingism and Black Republcanism. =
This morning Mr.. c. came into his Judge
Cook Office, and stated that he would rath-
er not have this nomination: l told him
would not vote for any man who had sup
ported Major Rollins. But he said nothing
in reply TO that, except 10 affirm that he
would support the nominees Of this con-
venlion. He did not deny he had voted for
Major Rollins.
Mr.. Dougherty, said he knew Mr.. Coal
ter-he was Democrat Of the tallest kind.
He did not believe General c. voted for
Major Rollins. General Coalter was
high minded, honorable gentleman, and res
pected himself too much to answer such i'm
pertinent questions. Let US nominate him
and then he will satisfy The people as to his
course.
Mr.. Primm said he went for principles,
not for men. Wanted 10 put man in
nomination, who, il elected, would protect
property, whether horse or niger. If
we 90 into antecedents, we will find that
Mr.. Dougherty for instance, had his Know
Nothing antecedents,
Mr.. DOugherty-(Firmly)-No SRI
Never. The gentleman is mistaken. l
never wa. Know NOthing-no sir.
Cbsirman-This is all out Of order-(of
course it was.
Mr.. Primm wanted TO make nomina-
tion, and wanted TO give reasons, (cries Of
ballot, ballot. why he should offer the name
he was going TO. Mr.. Primm recited his
tory Of various elections. THIS party TO-
day, is the upheaving ofa principle uphold
ing the National Democracy. He nomina-
ted Mr.. d. ID. Mitchell.
Mr.. Woods said that Mr.. Coa:ter had
said TO him, that he, Coalter, had voted for
Major Rollins, because he thought the Ma
ior was The best man ior the odice; because
