a candidate for Congress, no eulogy from t it needed. He is known to the people of the District aa a good Whig, and of sound conservative views. He has aever sought office; and If hie own private wishea wera alone consulted, he
would prefer to remain in the uninterrupted puasultof his profession. In making thit announcement we also deem
ourselves autherited to tay that S. W. Parker,
Esq , will also be a candidate for nomination -

vention it necessary to decide upon tha clahn. of th. several aspirants. The 1st Saturday of May wat first suggested at a convenient time to hold said convention, and agreed to by all
the Whig papers of the District, except the Whi" and "While Water Valley." Since
m
then, it has been suggested that the Henry
Circuit Curt will bt in tesslon at that time, and
prevent many being present at the convention.
The Curler, therefore, mention. Monday the 26th of May, as a favorable time.
We would have no objectiona to the sugges
tion of the Courier, did we not know that the 26th would be the most unfavorable time we could possibly select, for such a convention. The State Board of Agriculture, U. S. District Court and the Grand Lodge of Ma.ons, .11 will be in session at Indianapolis, at that time, and many of our citlxent will ha, to be present.
We still thluk, and will now renew eur first
suggestion, that the convention be held at t his place, on SATURDAY, THE THIRD DAY OF MAY.
Wa agree with the Curler, at to the propriety of nominating, at that time, a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney ; and hope our Whig friendt of Rush county, will send Delrgatca for that pur-pose.

The third district, for the lest fonr years rep
resented with to much ability by Hon. John L Robinson, is destined to become the focus of abolition excitement, during the coming contest. There it a tmall knot of politiclana in that dittrict who have boxed every point of the political compass, who we fear will attempt to con
trol th nomination, not by direct action, bnt
by threat to defeat the nominee, unless the candidate yielda hia opinion to the fanatical and
disunion projects of such men as Jamea H. Cra

denied the suitor for hi daughter' hand admission to hia house.
Where there i a will there is a way. The
young lady contrived to elade th watch that was set upon her, and escsped; and tha pair were made one in the holy bonda of wedlock, but a short time previous to the arrival of th Bella Key. "Clandestine marriage ldom result in hapines," which old saying wa. confirmed in thia case. In the course of Hire day
in. nappy pair, from some cause unknown to
our informant, had an open disagreement, and they resolved, Strang aa it may eem, to separate. Accordingly, on the fourth day the bride
left the boat, at the residence of aa acquaintance, twelve miles below Louisville, determined to return home to her parents on tha downward trip of the same boat that brought her np; and the will return, "pure and inviolate aa at the hoor the left her rather, roof," without even biding an adien to her "fiv day husband."
