A writer in the last Evansville Journal, whodatesal N- Harmony , recommend s Judge Embree asa suitable -candidate to run against Bobtail Owen for Congress in this district. The editor of tlifi Journal and the writer reterred to, recommends a convention in which every county in the district should he well and truly represented. - - Were it not too late most to get up a convention, we think one would be productive of good result?, and it might yet be, but we fear the matter has been postponed too long. Sometime would necessarily be consumed in making arrangements as to the time and place of holding the convention, and in appointing delegates to attend it. However, in order to expedi ate matters, if the editor of the Journal thinks it best, under all the circumstances!, to hold a convention, we leave it to'him to .'-make all preliminary arrangement?, as to- the time and placo. Ail that we require in the premises is that the place be as tent ral es possible. We would say, however, that if Jtfdie E. is willing to take the field, there would nol, we believe, be a dissenting voice among the whigs in this end of the district. WitrThim as the whig candidate we should indulge strong hopes of h.13 defeating Bobtail. 'No man would be more acceptable to the whigsr in this end of the district than Judge Em bree. His name would be a tower- of 'strength. - -. We think with the Gazette,, that it is how too late to think of a convention. It is only about two months until the el pTjce, and otic half of Jlial Ume would be consumed in getting up meetings, appointing . delegates. &.c. But a convention is not necessary. With Judge Einbree or Mr. Geo. Wilson, as our, candidate the party wo;;ld rally to a man. "Some things can be done is well as others," as Mr. Owen knows. He was beaten once, uadJy hcaten,' and there is r.o reason" to suppose he cannot be beaten r.gain. We hope by our next number to be able to announce the Whig Candidate for Congress.'' - : ' ' " - Craiors Rrrcy.T. The London Morning Chronicle, of the ISth u!f.r publisiies the following singular rumor from its Dublin cor.respendenf : "Itis rumored that seveial ships, bound for the United States, with p3ssengers fforn Tralee and the neighboring counties, have been prevented from sailing, by orders pf the .KJirdrality.

The following extract from the New Yoik correspondent of the Charleston Courier, gives a painful Idea of the slate of society in that city. Wo fancy, that with all their afiecled horror of the doings in New Orleans, the Galhamites, viewed as a law and order, loviug people, are far, very far behind "the people of that city : . , ' TVe verily believe that . this goodly city of ours contaius the most destructive elements iu its bosom that tVer upset society. Our steam editors, and 6team orators, and steam politicians, rattle away about the future, aud shake their heads at every croakerfully convinced,, and convincing oihers, that they see jo the entire endxf our history, and that the past is just about as much a guide fyr us as the history of Lilliput. They prophecy nothing but success. IVe, too, can prophecy, and as we set in our quiet room and hear the uproar and. tumult that, shakes" this great city, and reflect bow many souls, rcs.lcss, 'ill-balanced and ungovemabloare keeping this island pulsating to their throb, we can hear in imagination the bell oft the old City Hall pealing on over the -city, as the tosciu was wont to ring, over Paris, carrying , consternation aud alarm to the hearts of the inhabitants, and telling them that the mob is abroad ii its lawless, power and blood v purpose. Human life will not be so valuable .-one of these days in New York as these flabby sen timentalists se'em likely at present to make it. : I here is ignorance enough in this city, wuu the. slight checks that are upon it, to overturn when once kindled by some sudden motive iuro action, any government.. - . : Apropos tlie following extiacLfiom the New York correspondence of thejVIobile Ad vertiser, adds another unp'essant feature to the picture: ,... , , - - On running mv eve over the advertising co lumns of the city papers, where I find quite as much amusement, if not instruction, as in the reiiding columns, 1 have noticed a ..new feaiure, or rather an old feature much more stronsh' developed. Jn reading the Sun of this day week l noticed no less than five ad vertisements of persons who had infants to give away. I his is a bad feature of, the time?,-and would seem to indicate more suffering among the poor than has generally beenisupposed. Surely a mother must be reduced to the last stage of endurable - want belore she woula part witn her children to a stranger.

- - , 1 -.New Har-momy, May 17, 1815.. Mn. Emtor: The Whigs are " certainly the most singularly organized beings in existence, and the most strangely fjorganized party." When their exertions are "crowned with success, llieyare intoxicated with delight, arid thinking that all must be well, they sink into sleep. If they are defeated, apathy .succeeds; from either of which states it

is a difiicult matter to arouse them, lhis, however, - is . easily accounted, for. The Whics have sound principles lor their guide their measures, they know, if carried out, would spread "peace -and plenty' aw over the laud, and uppn the correctness of their measures, they depend; with the 'very mistaken idea, that if they are correct, they must certainly triumph; forgetting - that "truth" may be "crushed to earth". Notwithstanding these facts, they have had sufficient ex perience to know, that if they do not .put their "shoulder to the wheel" and labor, defeal must be the consequence. They know too, that to try, is to succeed. It is therefore passing strange that . they should feel such causeless indifference. . , ; The locofocos, not having principles, depend upon, cxei'tion. Like the pirate, they know ihey must fight or die. Their weapons are misrepresentation, and Intrigue.' It is their policy to pervert the truth; andall their efiortsarc directed to that.iPory end; this being one of their measures.- While they endeavor to cloud ' the minds jof men with error, the .Whigs exert themselves to.dispel the darkness and shed the pure light of truth upon their understandings. The lukewarm Whigs (a rather numerous class) say it is no use to try. Poor lellows. How do they know what they can accomplish until they do try? . Whether tliete is a pros pect of success or not, all should be "game to the. last. lie who is not always willing io battle, for liberty, does uot deserve the enjoyment of its blessings. Let us do all we can. There is everything to gain and noth ing to loose. . Our opponents of the firstdislnct may laugh and tell us iur. Owen was elected over Mr. Payne, by a large majority. We will just, remind them that Proftif gained a still gieater victory over Mr. Owen. ' It seems to depend upon the qualities of the candidate. . '- . . , It was not a fiiir test between Tayne and Owen, as the former was unwell when thev commenced the campaign aud became more feeble; while the "latteras a locofoco, who travelled with them observed, got fat on the "strength of it. Mr. Payne is a sound man, but lie does not suit tlie si"ump7 particularly when unwell. It is to be hoped that Mr. Wilson will make up all deficiencies, and completely upset the "knights" apple-cart. . No doubt Mr. Owen has gained some pop ularity by "rushing the ca;.il bill. through," but some one else migiit have, rushed it through with atnore "perfect rush;1 and it is uo reason, whv the canal bill should rush him through.

' ,The great debate in the Slaynooth Grant terminated in the .'British Parliament i on the morning ot the l'Jiu, with an exciting speech from -Sir. R. Peel, the mere abstraet of which, occupies -three columns awl a half in the Morniug Chronicle. - It would seem that Ministers had some doubts as to the passage, of the bill, when the Piernier, summoning all his energies, commenced a powerful appeal to the House in favor .of the measure, in which he defended the policy of the Ministers, showed the necessity of conciliating Ireland, and alluded to a probable war with the. United States as one of the , reasons why Great Britain should "concentrate all her energies to maintain unimpaired the power and dignity of the United Kingdom." H war should come he desired that "Ireland should stand, ranked with England, and the energies of a united people would insure a glorious triumph in a just cause." lie denied that ministers had consulted with any of the political leaders of clerev of Ireland, hor bad ministers ever entered into any negotiations With the 1'ope, relative to this giant, neither wis the-grant any part of a general system lor the endowment of the Catholic Church, Although he Sir Robert J would not fetter ministers by a pledge not to propose the endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy he would make no such-declar-alion, but be -wished Hon. nent'emen to draw no unfair inferences from his refusal to com mit himself by such pledge.

Ihe premier resumed his seat about three o'clock in the morning, amid thmrders of applause which lasted several minutes. Alter this exciting speech,, the House devided, and there appeared for the Maynooth Grant Bill 323, against 173 majority for it 147. 1 he ministers, were, of course, overjoyed at the result. It; is probably the first time on record, that a. religious grant has been carried by apealing to the beligereut propensities of the English Commons. The Premier ha? evidently accepted O'Connell's offer of Ireland's services to fight America for Oregon and Texas. It remains to be seen how the bargain will be carried'out. The ..New York - Herald t gives the fol lowing as the closing remarks cfSir.Roberl Peel: ... -'- As a Minister responsible for the public peace, he said that it was ne cessary to break up that , formidable comb; nation which at present existed ill Ireland against the British government. He did not think that that combination could be broke u up bv force, but he did think that it miht be subdued by kindness, forbearance, an generosity; and it was essential that it thou! be subdued if we wished to cement the union . 1 1 between me two countries, and to increase the strength of this united" empire. When he thought of proposing this measure to Par lianiCnt, he had no anticipation ofany.in!err ruption of the relations of amity between this country and any o'lhet.". But on a recent occasion Lord John Russell had considered it to le a duty to raise the veil nhich concealed the distant future. It then became his duly to state publicly that, though he was anxious for an amicable arrangement of our differences icith the United States, ice xccre resolved and prepared to defend cur unquestionable rights, if they were invaded.

THE -MONSTER GUN. y The huge gunintendid for the U. S. steam er rrtneeton, is uearly completed and hns become an object of considerable curiosity in Liverpool, as the largest cannon ever made. The gun was manufactured in the solid by' Mr. Horsfall, at the "Mersey Steel Fand Iron works." It was iri thcromrh nearly 14' tent long' and about thirty inches in diamater 'at the thickest end. A round shaft ot seven inches was first formed, 'and around this, as a foundation, were Success ivcly laminated wedges of iron placed longitudinally, on edge, and reversed in position as to fit. These, placed around the original spindle, were, brought to a white heat, securely welded by a hammer, eight tons in weight, worked by steam. Another layer, in like, manner, was added over the former, and so on until the whole was of ilie'req'uisiie thickness throughout. It was '-then, sent'to the foundryof Messrs. Fawcett do Co., weighing 11 tons, 3 cwt. 2 qrs. IT lbs. The ; turning and boring occupied abou t C months'. J he length ot the cannon now tnal it is nn-. ished, 13 ft., and jhe bore 12 ft., in length 12 inches in . diameter. Iu boring, the first, drill introduced was seven inches in diameter; and about a foot, from it,' ' a 10 inch boring head followcd on the same fclia ft mak--ing'a bore of 10 inches at once. Au ll inch drill was next used", and finally one of 12'inches. 7 The gun finally adjusted to the lathe, was turned, the borers being stationary. The finishing operation with the 12 inch drill took 3 successive day3 and nights. The bore is as fine and smooth as that of a first rate fowling piece; and the exterior of the gun equally bright and even. v . ' ' , The balls which this'gun will carry will each he 11 inches in diameter, a qtnrter of an inch being left for windbore; and each will weigh in cast iron, 2T1G lbs. So "that the piece Is in reality a '233. pounder," " Before delivery it is to be thoroughly proved with a' double charge of gunpowder (-15 lbs) and two balls, weighing (ofcourso together) 472 lbs. " It will be covered during the experiment with' mats and sand, to avertt!re consequences of any., incideut from disruption. ' The' Liverpool papers from which this is taken adds that the Princeton is to be' at that port shortly to take the monster on board. This, then, instead of the Gulf of Mexico, was the destination of Capt. Stockton. ' .

From the Baltimore American. INTERESTING CORRESPON DENCE. Neither gratitude nor good faiih, it would

seem, is to be looked tor Smonc politicians. Transactions in politics, to be at all safe, will have to be done on business principles. A correspondence, bearing the name, of "William iaulkner, News-ofhce, Norwich, Conn.," on the one part, and "David Mallorv Esq., Postmaster at Lower Mystic," on the other, illustrates the necessity to which we refer. Mr. r auh;ner, who appears to have been a sort of a broker in the office-seeking line, claims to have put into the responsible station of Postmaster at Lower ?dystic the aforesVrd David Mallory, and, as a small re turn for such a valuable service, he expects Mr. Mallory to take at leat six. of his p-ipers and pay for them in advance. The newly ma'de postmaster does not lake his hint or his papers; but with most simplicity' he replies lhat he already subscribes to a daily and, wishing to cover the whole ground for his neighbors .and himself, he adds "there is none that wants to take the paper." Here was gratitude: Here was good filth! In a civilized laud, enjoying the blessing3of democracy, what atate of society did this exhibit I. Jlr. raulkner felt the outrage; he fell it sensitively -felt it as a man and as a democrat, to say nothing of his feelings as an editor. The idea was plainly intimated by-this contumacious postmaster that, offices were not the property of the party, to be paid for as other property which a man niight want. He was evidently so puffed up with self-conceit as to suupose that a phce-of honor find emolument was given to him because of his worth and fitness for it a,rid:culu3 notion which he ought to have been ashamed of. 4 -. Mr. ...Faulkner .replies with dignity. A man of his imporianee, who could control the disposal of offices, who' could malce snch things as postmasters, would of 'course reply with dignity. lie; had .nourished, this man, not in his own. bosom indeed, but in. the bosom of the Government, which to. a public spirited individual was pretty nearly the sarae.th'ing. And"'hat was the return? InGnATiTtDE, thy name is D. Mallory ! But Mr. Faulkner is calm; 'of his dignity we have spoken already.;. Yet, ..witn calmness and dignity, Mr. F. is not without ,se verivy. In behaif of his party ho doubtless felt it his duty to be severe. What would" become of organization, discipline, system what motives and stimulants to pmiotisiu would remain what, in short, would .be the value of democratic principles, if the conduct of th;s postmaster was tor be tolerated? Mr. F. uses these woids:. "The letter which I received from y u a few days since, declining to patronize my press lo the amount of a half dozen papers, you may depend will be carefully' preserved, and, at the proper time, used as evidence of your. lack of honor, morally as well as politically. I have cm my part left my family and my business, and "proceeded to Washington for you, as Well as oihers, and, by faithfully advocating your appointment as postmaster, succeeded in'obtaining it." "But what ; return do I get 1 My papers are thrown back in my face, and a fetter, insulting in its nature, sent to me directing th cm discontinued. You say it is true that you cannot get subscribers for them. " Well, supposing yori cannot, would it be a very alarming matter for you,' an office holder, to do as much for Democracy in the way pf cir culating democratic .newspapers as would draw fiorn your pocket nine dollars a year?'" Btr. iaulkncr says more than this. Lay ing aside the'. tone-of an injured man, indignant at a gross afiiont upon his feelings, he adopts the language of one who-knows- his power, and who is determined that it shall not be slighted with impunity. He continues:. : . '. "Now,-sir, all I have at- present lo sty is, six of my pnp'ars's.Wgo regularly to Mystic Bridge Post Olfice. If you shoulJr become convinced f what is your .'dutyyotr win at once settle with this" office for them,'" and see that they are legularly circulated, whether you get pay for- them or not. JC there is a place on the f.tee of the glohe where democratic light is wanted, it is in Lower Mystic. . But, if you think proper to send them back, or throw them under your desli, it wil make no duTerence; they will continue to but rest assured of one ihinfT, what 1 have made I can unmake. "' Wilt .it be believed that aficr all this the ob'ruse jmd e"ow-witted postmaster could uo! see how - the land lay? He says. "1 do not understand il." Not understand it? and he selling up lo be a poslmastcr and profossingto be a democrat?. But at length, the lighr begins to dawn upon him, and lie has the effrontery to write thus to the Warwick of post misters: ' : . ' .-. - . .. I . 4iI never called upon you to assist me. J j was called upon, to take the office, for which I am ashamed to acknowledge I paid at Stonington Borough twemy-five dollars, which ! wns iiifurmed w.is paid to you for services. Ido hot feel under any obligation to you, a? I think I have already paid pretty dear tor the 'whistlemuch mure than ever I expected to' be' called upon to pay: The proli's of the office are but trifling, f shall not receive your paper,, aud if you see fit to take, the ,offiGe from me, act your.own pleasure, as you claim you have the power.'1- - The correspondencd is concluded - by Ctlothexletter from Mr. Faulkner, which hll conclude our article also. The tone of this 13 ironical and sarcastic; itcanie's its sharp est sting in the tail. , The last' Lit must iiH.ve been too much for the poslraasier if he had any feelings;, but'possibly he had not any.

We think tho efforts which the locofoco papers in the United States are making to produce a war wiih Great Britain,' because she dares to claim a portion of the northern terrifory of Oregon, cannot be reprehended too severely. Many of these wretched edi- -tors are in favor of sh-itting the door against all negotiations which contemplate an amicable adjustment of the Oregon question. They would go to war at once, without waiting until the years' notice a'greed on by'the

treaty has been given. They Would take possession of the disputed territory forthwith and declare war against Great Britain if she dared to question the right of this country to all of Oregon. We are aware that many of the men who recommend, this courso of conduct are loo weak in Intellect to Bnnrn- ----- - -ir - vJ ciate its importance, aud tney may be excused as idots are excused; but aome of-) them, with a full knoweledge of all the calamities of war, recommend it, because they fancy a war wouldlie popular and secure ' the permanent ascendancy of Locofocoism. Such creatures are not fools they are scoundrels. - " ' . j l' , . f -r Nearly every Locofoco paper is teeioing-, with abuse ditected against the- Whigs, bedause the Whig3 recommend an amicable settleineat'of t.ie Oregon difficuhies. . And because the Whigs advise the course sane-. ; tioned by wisdom, patriotism, and common i sense,, they are denounced as the friends of I England, as men who, in the event of war, 1 would side w ith the enemy, as men who take j the, English view of all subjects! - These . wretches must feel, their own infinite basev.c?3 when they, dare to bnng such foul ac- ; cusatiohs agaiust a parly which numbcra amongiis suporiersa vast majority of the wisest -most patriotic, and best informed men in the", nation. If war shouldagairi afilict the country, it would be fought principally, on the for a large ' proportion cf eur naval officers are men of sense-and patriotism, and, like a large majority of the men of that sort in the U. S., ore firmly and uucornpromising Whigs The Locofocos that dig ditches, carry holds,' and live where the sunbeams never penetrates would have but little participation in the g!or;p3 or" miseries that might attend the coniest. We repeat it, that if war shail bewaged with Gjeat "Britain, oa.TTlug heads, and whi hearts, and whig muscles the country will chiefly rely for , success, and thus relying, the honor and glory of the Union will be iu safe hands, .. .

Where were Polk, and Van' Buren, and Buchanan, and Wall, aud Hubbard, and many other leaders of the locofoco party during the last war? Mr. PolY excused himself from fighting, and while his fellow students, shouldered their muskets, her put. his" books in his pocket and went to dignified retirement. Mr. Van Burerr first opposed and then, when it was rather late in the day, supported, the warjand the other worthies we have namedwere rank fsderalists and sighed over the

humiliation brought oh England by the sue-, I cesses of the . American!? ! Where was the j embodiment of whig principles, the honest, patriotic,-, high souled Clat? Precisely I where the present leaders of Locofocoism '

peace with all the world unless imperative necessily demands war. As true friends of the people, the Whigs are for peace, because tho prosperiiy 'of . the people depends on peace. ? The Whigs do not wish. to see the sad spectacle of our innumerable merchant ships rotting in the various ports rf the Union, they do not w ish to see the waves of die old Ocean reddened wiih the blood bf their countrymen; tlrey have no desire to hear the shrieks of widows and the wail of countless orphans; they would not enjoy the. prostta-: tion of busines?, the incalculable misery of thousands and the breaking up tf the commerce of the nation. We say the Whigs have no wish to contemplate a speclacle of war 'without just and honorable cause. - But if war cannot honorably be avoided, ihen tlie f Whiggwill , prove their love .of country by fighting, and, if . need be, by dying for the Union.
