Mr. Ciiaxdler Sir; You will do me a
favor by allowing me a small portion of your paper to correct a charge, which I find indus
triously circulated. I am charged with being hostile to the central Canal and opposed
toobtaiug the grant of unsold lands to complete it. ' My friends have my fullest authority to place an 1 unqualified denial upon the whole charge. I have always been friendly to that canal, and I, myself, and my friends in Posey, signed the petition Tor the lands long before I was thought of as a candidate; and there is certainly no reason now, why I should change. We are certain to obtain that grant
,vhroughthe success of the Whig Party; but
I have argued that it is inconsistent for my
competitor for the Senate, Col. Lane, to ask
such a grant for Indiana, while he refuses
similar grants to other States, as he and his
party are opposed to the principle of distribution; and that in their known hostility as a party to affording the aid of the general government to the States, we have almost an
equal certainty that in their success we shall
fail to obtain either the grant of the lands or a share of their proceds. Col. Lane asserts
that if the State becomes possessed of funds she. will never finish the canal because . the
upper part of the State can out vote us.
do not so view the matter, because this work
is one of vast National and State importance, and the w!iole State is interested in its speedy 'completion. He may possibly be correct
as to the views! of his own party on this mat
ter, but I am sure with a Whig majority in
the legislature we have nothing to fear on
"tin's point. . So far then as interest is con
cerned, there is no question in my mind that
the only certainty we have of being able to
complete the canal is through the success of
the Whig pirty, both in the State and Na
tional elections. W. C PELHAM
WHIG VICTORY IN LOUISIANA.-
The Whig victory in Louisiana is most com
plete. We have succeeded in securing a majority on joint ballot in the Legislatue a
majority in the Convention, and a member
to Congress -glory enough for ah opening strike, but nothing to what it will be in November, when . the great Kenluckian is walked .on the track to start against that broken winded, spavined, mangy colt, "Young Hickory," alias Polk. At lhe close of the last session of the Louisiana Legisla
ture, the whigs had a mnjority of ose they.
have now majority of six or eight on joint ballot. Last year the Senate stood 10 locos
to7 whigs, it now stands 9 locos to 8 whigs
We have elected a member to Congress in
one district by G39 majority, and in 'another
district we have reduced the locofoco ' ma
jority upwards of 500 votes, and we have a
majority in the Convention; notwithstanding
all this, the locofoco papers have - actually
"ot out their roosters and are crowing over
Louisiana most lustly, glad, we suppose, that
it is not worse. If the locopokos cannot car
ry Louisiana with their Texas principle
the only trixciple they possess, ave the
principle of opposition to Mr. Clay we
should like to know where they expect to get
an'electoral vote. Will some one of the loco
foco papers in this region cypher the matter
out and let us know ? . .

the dews of the morning. The evening pre

feet highland from its loftiest point stream
ed the stars and the stripes, the earliest ob
ject to welcome the light ot the coming
'dawn. " The morning arrived, auspicious clear-; the herald of a bright and beautiful
day; amid the discharge of cannon and to the revielle of music, the citizens awoke to more
than realize the expectations they had form
ed of this wished for event. At' an early
hour the thorough-fares in every direction
were crowded with the eager multitude. Bands of music which had reached a point near the village now commenced arriving. -That from Mount Carmel, - Illinois, came first, the vehicle containing the musicians, surmounted with banners, and in the . midst a small tree on which was posted "that same old coon," not a pictorial image, but iu na
ture's just proportions. - 1 he kvansvme liana was the next to arrive escorted by a cavalcade of citizens who had proceeded a mile
from town to receive' them from an oppo
site quarter came the Band from Vincennes,
followed by a train of four or five hundred
in carragies and on horseback; when the
head of this procession had arrived in town its lengthened line was still lost behind the
hills that rose in the distance. The torrent now swelled amain,carriages of every description filled , with gay and happy faceSj
horsemen and pedestrains, added to the gen: eral concourse that crowded and overfilled the public square.' The Ladies wore their brightest smiles, and animated as they were wilh the interest of the occasion seemed the wuardian genii of the - Whig cause. At
10 o'clock- a procession was formed under the supeiintendance of Col. Cockrum as Chief Marsha, assisted by Capt. J. C. Warrick, Gen. W. iEmbfeej A.. C. Mills Esq , Geh. W. Daniel, assistant Marshals. The Ladies and music were placed in front bear
ing their own banners, and 'followed by all others over whom the Whig spirit or gallantry held sway. ' '
The procession marched to a grove conti
guous to the town where seats had been pre
pared for the audience. It would be impossible
to convey an adequate idea of the spectacle to ahy one who did not witness it. Every
delegation marched beneath its own banner.
The most gorgeous was one dcsplayed by
the delegates of Dubois county, it presented
a likeness of Clay surrounded by objects and
inscriptions expressive of the principles and
measures of lhe Whigs ; protection to home industry and a scroll on which was emblazoned Behold the Constitution, Whigs do yuor duty "" The Banner from Vanderburgh also
presented a likeness of Clay with the inscription'; " --- : '' - ; : - :

Old Gibson that day displaped her banner! in the field; on one side was represented the Mill Boy's home the birth place of Clay, on the other the great whig ball with a whig lever and a whig multitude to give it a start, from before it were seen flying fat office holders and lean expectants, whilst a solitary abolitionist was tree'd; on the ball was inscribed .the Whig creed "Tariff, Bank 3$ Distribution?

ridge, in a , short' and happy speech returned his acknowledgements for the hon
or conferred upon him, felicitated the TThigs
on the number present, and concluded by
introducing to the audience Mr. John Ewing
of Knox, a veteran in the Whig army; this gentleman came forward amid the applause of the multitude and addressed them for two
hours in .a .speech,, characterized by energy -and' deep enthusiasm. - Though tinie hai

the fire of his eye and "the fervor of his feelings, and. he now battles' in the Whig caus.a
with all the ardor of a young conscript ; h;s thorough acquaintance with the' political hi?tory of the past, his fearless denunciation of error, his bold defence of rights- renders birri a champion most senticeable to his friends and formidable to his foes. At the" conclusion of his address the assemblage adjourned to partake of the hospitalities which the citizens of Gibson had 'provided. ' Tliougb tho,. number wa.3 great, the preparation- was equal
to the emergency.. -.. inere was plenty ever to profusion; ail seemed to enjoy themselves
and the greatest cordiality and good feelirrg; prevailed.' Patriotic music and Whig sot 3 enhanced the interest of the occasion". 1 At the conclusion of the repast all return-' ed to listen to a speech from Mr. Pitcher of Ml. Vernon. This gentleman entered npon the subject of a tariff, and all who listened must have felt the ' torce of his arguments and facts; he dwelt with marked effect rjpoo: the policy of protecting our own industry upon the reciprocal advantages ;to be deriv-j ed from such a system, and the mutual detendance of one branch of national industryupon the other. The 'sarcasm wilh which,, he denounced the -opposite and .delusive course, was scathing and blasting, and there -
was none we are satisfied who paid attention, that did not arise wiser than they came. Afterthe conclusion of Mr. Pitcher the fol-t
lowing preamble and resolutions were introduced and adopted. ' u Whereas, The thousands of patriotic citW zens who have met here in convention this day, to comingle sentiments a,nd inspirit be. coming efforts, on the part of all at thei ap-
pi oaching elections to redeem our General Assembly and our glorious Union from lha control of spoilsmen who assume the nama
of "democracy" to urge feigned preteuces
and craftily devised schemes to cover their
ruinous course, and thus to. deceive if not
divide these United Stales ;"ahcfvliereas,"this convention is thoroughly convinced that a .
return to WThig measures and Whig princi
ples has become essential to the happiness,
prosperity and general welfare of the Union.
Resolved, That we exult- in the certain
prospect of electing the patriots and states
men Henry Clay and Theodore Frehngbuysen, to the Presidency and Vice Presidency
of the Union;-and' that to secure the elec
tion of a Senator to the Congress of the United States for this-State friendly to the sound policy of the Whigs, under which alone our
State can meet her ecgagementc, retrieve her
honor, and become happy as every good citizen desires, we shall vigiiently endeavor to secure the election of whigs to our next gen
eral assembly. 1

J Resolved, ,Tha.t the proceedings of thfl convention be furnished by the Secretary for publication, to the Evansville Journal, Whig Rifle and Vincennes Gazelle. f Resolved, That this convention do now adjourn; .- ' In the evening the Clay Club met, many
from the country yet lingered r.nvvilliiig to loose the echo from the voice of this day. The Club was addressed by MrFeck of Tennessee, in a humorous and facetious
speech, which seemed highly 'entertaining to
the audience; he was followed by Mr. Terry
of Davies, who sustained the interest of tho
occasion, though the hour was late and tha
audience wearied with the prolonged exe'tement of the day, all regretted his speech had not been made under more favorable circumstances, to which its merits so well 0titled it, The. whole celebration exhibited
the deep, thorough interest the Whigs feel in the result of the elections their high hopestheir abiding trust and if other places respond to the feelings of the whigs here" assembled victory must perch upon our hauliers in August and November. We feel assured that our flag which overtops all the spires and domes in the place, js only, one out of ten thousand whose waving folds fanned by the breezes ol heaven, announce that the whigTirmy is in the field and ready for the day of battle.
