THE CONGRESSIONAL NoMINAToIN.-
The locofocos of this Congressional Dis
trict, as we see by the papers, are al
ready astir in the matter of the nomina-
ton for Congress. A letter from Har-
ford county, in The Cecil Democrat OF
the 18th, contains the following para
graphs:-
3" 1t appears to be understood that Col McIIcnrv
viii not consent TO the use of his name again III Is

liSent asr!cu!turists and is content to enjoy his
oTirn Gun nlGNiTirn upon his fine estate aud

Other gentlemen have been spoken of and Il t
the head OF the list stands the name of your dis
tinsuishod follow. citizen. Col John c. tiroome
1t is not known whether he would consent to oc-
cuIy the position. and besides it is rilnored that
the Administration is DESTROYS Of coneering upon
him some distinguished mark of its favor Metsrs
C1eSwel and Rowan, Of Cecil, have also bran
named, and MIR. krout of Carroll, and Messrs. 4.
W. Bateln9n and A. H. jarrett. Of this county
AS the opposition candidlte have heard tho
names OF Mcssrs. j. T. McCulIough of Cecil and
Webster, Of Hartford, mentioned but which of
Ihese gentlemen is the fiyortc Of his party, does
not yet appear.
TIE HaJord IiSitor Of last Saturday,
follows up with the following, showing
that Col. Henry is not to be oyerslaughed
by any such complimentary twaddle as
found in the Hartford article in The
Democrat:
Mn. kHATIScE The article which appeared
in the Cecil Democrat Of Saturday, January 10.
1859. from a Hartford county correspondent is
premature in rcmnrking that Colonel Rams Y
Mcllenry will not consent TO he candidate the
ensuing Fall. for Congress Tho understanding
which memo speaks of is not based on any good
authority. as Colonel ,iclenry, has not said that
he would not be candidate If the Democratic
party think proper to nominate him this fill,
when he can be elected, he will not DECLINE the
rroie!el honor. Ii is due from the party, n
least to tender him the nomination. rs ho ral at
time when there was no prospect Of any dem
ocrat being elected
TIE Cecil Democrat of last week, also
says -
We arc authorised to state that the Hartford
letter, signed Memo" placed Col Mc!lcnry in n
false position. lie will not feel at liberty to with
hold The use of his name, should he again be pre-
scented for Congress by his party"
In the Baltimore Sun ofTuesday last,
the following card appears -
TTECOL. JOHN s. CUTTINGS, of Baltimore
~ county is spoken Of as the Democratic can
dilato FOR Congress for the First q District now
represented by Hon. James Il. Ricaud, American.
So, it appears, the Democracy are up
and doing. Col. McHenry's friends
assume that as he ran when there was
no chance of an election, he must be the
candidate now there is q chance. Their
story when he ran was that he was sure
of an election; and those who oppose
locofocoism will show the Colonel, or
whoever else gets the nomination, that
there is just the same chance for a loco
foco now. Locofocoism, instead of gain
ing in the affections Of the people, has
lost on every hand, and this Congress
sional District will bring it to an account
for its misdoings, at the coming election.
AS to the naming of candidates for the
American Party-it will attend to that
in its own time. If Mr.. Ricaud doesn't
want the nomination, or the District
doesn't want to return him again, we
have number of other men who can, as
he has done, defeat any thing the
Democracy may offer.
