X POLITIOAL MATTEDS aro agsuming form and ghape in the Eighteanth Distriot, It moy be said that tho canvase for Congross fairly oponed ot AMound ity on Thursday Isst, whon the Hon, Isnso . Oloments, tho prosent member, was ronominated by the negnnflen Conventlon. And, although the Conventlon may be sald to have beon hormonious, all was not harmony, Truo, every county instracted for Clomonts, but, underlying all this, thore ato B SYMPTOMS OF TROUDLE in the Republican camp. First, there aco but fow whito Repullicans in Egypt who indorse tho Civil Rights bill ; and, in my humble opinlon, 1o man can be alected {0 Oongresa_ who austaing and advocatos it on tho stump. The Opposition will'pross Mr, Olomonts on this _quostion in all its !um;z‘th and broadth ; and, unleas ho' * takoa watar * on apart of it at loaat, bo will find his task a difloult one. Becond, his vote oo the Carronoy bill ho will find vory much in his way ; and, although both parties are divided om this question, it is quito likely that the Opposition candidato, whoover that may be, will support tho Prosident's veto, whether it would ba Demoeratio ornot. Intho third place, tho Poat-Ofice in this oty will bo used aa'an olemont of discontent against Mr, Olomonta, Four years ago Col. G. . McKeaig, the prosent Postmaator, was ap- polnted In vacation. Hia tims oxpired in July, Ho was an applicant for roappointment, Othor Republicans in this city sskod the appointment, but MoKeaig has gonerally given satisfaotion to all; but othors aro clamoring for s division of tha spails. The office ia tha bost in tho distriat, sod influences brought to bear, and the discon- tont manifeated, havo apparently forced Mr. Olementa 40 postpone any appointment until Congresa moots, when the elestion will over. Bome good Ropublicans doubi the good polioy in thia stop, while others in- dorse it. In tho meantime, the Democraocy will loge no op artu.nn{ during tho canyasd in fan- ning this flame, It must be admitted, howover, that Mr, Clomonts’ prospeots are quite brilliant. His genoral courso in Oongroess, eapeoially on the Transportation auestion, as woll as his suc- cenefal offort to securo an appropriation for tho improyoment of navigation in the Oblo River, will add much to his strongth with the praducor. There is, of oourse, the usual local growlin about Roprosentatives in the Logislatara ; but the present law provents any contost exoept in the Convontions. The only county in which troublo has been shown from this source s Jack- son, whore & mombor withdrew from tho Con- vention on sogount of slleged irregalarities and informalities, Whils thisis a falr reprosonta- tion of the Ropublioan condition, f ALL I8 NOT LOVELY in the Demooratio camp. In tho flru:r&lncs, tho “ Call " of MoCormick, and the %lth g of tha clansmen and thoir action in Ohicago, are far from belng satisfactory. A number of Domo- oratio papers in this ob—among others tho Jonosboro Gazelle and Mound Oity Journal— florocly denounco this aotion, and weleomo mosk heartily tho action of tho Straight Demoarscy, and respond with gladness to tho ‘apecchios of Bingloton and Richardson, ‘of oy. There ia no buch & thing as giving up tho old parly; the old-liners atand by thelr colors, and propose to florcely conteat the control of the party with the Btorey and sforritt faction. They are & unit againat the Civil Righta bill; bat* more divided on tha ourrancy than the Ropublicans. They have called a Oongressional Conventlon to moet ot Aopg on tho 8d of Boptom- bor; truo, thore is nothing cortain as togard to the -nominations. Tho only men now talked of for Congress aro Oborly, of "Alexandor, and Washburn, of Willlamson. Washburn has, fewer sfns to answor for, but ramisog nono of the wnrkmxgnbul:y that Ober- P o Gonoral Assemn~ bly would damago him yery muob, espocially his voto in favor of mixed sohools. In a conteat with Olomonts he would ha eatopped from fight- ing the Oivil Righta bill, on thig sccount. Again, Oberly’s connection with the Cairo & BE. it Railrond, and his mixing up with rallcoad mate tors genorally, would damage'bim torribly with tho farmers. has, ermore, sucocodod mn making somo of tho strongest men in the Democratio party his personal opponents, who, whilo thoy might not work against; would ‘do. nothing for him in tha race. ashbura bas o fair record,—his onomies could not make much out of that; but tho heavy ‘weights in hiy me look * upon nim as prossing himsolf forward, Botweon the to, howevar, 1 am Inclined to think that Oborly, with all his taults, would make the best fight. IN TiLt NINETERNTI DISTRIOT, tho Domooracy are in & fearful sweat. Gen. W.
