The Democratic Meeting at Fayetts-
Graves Dsclinss-Deathersge Nomi-
mated, ts'ez
Last Monday was the day designated by
the democracy of Howard to receive the re-
suit Of the primary election, announced in
our last. The result was announced. md
the candidates called upon TO accept.
Mr.. GRAVES, nominee for the Legisla-
ture, first appeared, and referred to the &C.
ton ofths party heretofore, when he had
been the recipient of its favors. Then all
was harmony-not so now. Without be.
ing candidate-withOut desiring the place
having privately and publicly declined,
he found himself the nominee, and dissat-
isfaction among the friends. Was sorry
Judge Rollins was not present, SO that the
Misunderstanding or difficulty between
them could be settled. Judge R. had ae-
cussd him Of base conduct, charge he
could not rest under, and which must be
publicly adjusted. Had sent Judge R.
word TO be here to-day-was sorry he was
not. He was thankful for the votes he
had received-thankful for the nomination,
but respectfully declined.
Mr.. PATTERSON, in response to q few
faint calls, took the stand, laboring under
considerable excitement, and we did not get
the hang Of his opening remarks. On for
mer occasions he was the choice of the par
ty, but was nsuccessful-received the
death blow in that stand, at the opening of
the canvass he and Graves made, in 1852.
He was ''power test man," and SO de-
clared himself--Graves endorsed his speech,
but upon being questioned by Col. Davis,
said he did not make the "power test."-
This was the death blow 10 him. a run
hing conversation here took place between
Graves and Patterson, in which the latter
admitted, that if they were elected they
would vote for the caucus nominee for SEN
ator, without regard to "the test" thus
showing that his "test question" was only
humbug for the canvass. The crowd en-
joyed the confession, but Mr.. P. did not
seem to see the point Of the joke.) The
cards had been stocked on him, and he was
satisfied before the primary election"
that he was sacrifced-but the blow came
from quarter he did not expect. Who
struck Patterson?) There were many called
democrats who were not democrats, no bet
fer than Blair. He went for principles
Heg history Of the party, since he had
been acting with it, especially on the "pow-
er question" which was not very fatteT-
ing, so far as consistency was concerned,
and repeated something about men being
called democrats who were not democrats.
He then took up the subject of Rail
Roads and Banks, and gave the Tax Payers
lengthy speech, through which we can
not follow him. He thought the State
would have TO shoulder the Rail Roads
that Banks were swindling machines, TO aid
the rich to grind the poOr-tbat the stock
holders made twenty-five per cent cut Of
the borrowers, because for one silver dol
lar they had three "struoken paper ones.
Was swindIed when he was boy, by TAX
ing old Commonwealth Bank paper in Ken
lucky, and had been against Banks ever
since. He wanted men sent 10 the Legis-
latrre that the Rail Roads and Banks could
not influence by wine, oysters, cigars; for
these men were always ready with their
suppers, &C., and even a few hundred dol.
lars, TO help out Of a tight place! Wanted
q good nan-would stand or fall with the
democrats: although once the choice Of the
party, was cut out, and would not be a can
didale-did net desire it now-hoped a
good man would be nominated, &c., SC.
The nominees for County Court Judges,
Messrs. Heath, Taylor, and McCaGerty, ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Saltonstall, nominee for Treasurer,
accepted, in a lengthy political speech, and
promised to repeat the dose between this
and the election. II he is 10 better in Zig
ures" than in political facts" and should
be elected, we hope he will employ an
accountant.
Mr.. Sheriff McCrary also accepted.
A committee Of three from each township
was then appointed to report candidate for
the Legislature: they nominated Col. b.
who accepted the post.
