Tho nomination of Gen. Winfield Scott ly the Whifjs ' of Pennsylvania for the Presidency, following the al- I most simultaneous action of the WWig Convculion in Ohio, is au important move, und, in our estimation, entirely destroys the last hope of Webster and Fillmore, N;w York and New Jersey will soon act, and all New EoIand will follow. Webster has not sufficient force i". Massachusetts nor Fillmore in New York to prevent these States going for Scott. In the National Convention every free State will be in favor of his nomination, which, with Delaware, should there be any doubt of California, will give him a majority of States, and a large majority of the votes in the Convention. Whilst the President and his Cabinet have been travelling over the country making speeches and delcuding the Compromise measures for the purpose of securing themselves strcugth iu ths South, they have lost the entire North. This has been brought about by the secret political manouvres of Gov Johnston, of Pennsylvania, Gov. Seward, of New York, and Ex-Secretary Ewing, ol Ohio, three of the most talented and designing political magicians in the Union. Nol a single Whig Convention u tho free ! States has yet endorsed tho Compromise measures and we predict never will. They resolve in favor of the execution of the fugitive slave law, so long as it remains j in force. They resolve that every portion of the Union j must have their constitutional rights. This is done to secure the acquiescence of the South in the nomination of Gen. Scott, who, should he lie elected, like Gea. Tay- j lor, will be in the hands of Seward, Ewing and Johnston, j Mr. Fillmore is to lie let uwn with laint praise, and the God-like is to be stranded out-right. This is the Whig chart for the next canvass. O i the Compromise their platform is broad and comprehensive. Strict adherence i to the Constitution is all that the South asks. Seward and his Free Soil adherents who regard the fugitive iaw as unconstitutional, will require no more. Toombs and Dawson, and Bell and Clay ask no amendment to that sacred instrument. Seward, aided by a higher law, leaps over every obstruction and is perfectly contented. Johnston, the nominee of the Whigs in Pennsylvania, is a free soiier secured his election two years ago, over Morris Longstrcth, by the aid of that votc. In his speech accepting the nomination he avowed his opposition to the fugitive law, and to every feature in the adjustment which is favorable to the South. Samuel F. Vinton, the nominee for Governor of Ohio, is a federalist of the old school. He was a member of the last Congress voted against the Texas Boundary bill, against the biil organ izing tbc Territory of Utah, because the Wilmot Provi

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1851.

Congressional Elections. In the Firat District the contest is between James Lockbart, Democrat, and L. Q. De Bruler, Whig. There is a Democratic majority in the District of from six to eight hundred. Mr. Do Bruler, although a very decided Whig, Is running without a nomination, and professing to be independent is very much opposed to party nominations, and to party candidates. He will receive the Whig vote and may, perhaps, seduce some Democrats into his support, not enough, wc thlrlk, how. ever, to eudangcr the election of Judge Lockhart, who a We man and a sound and consistent Democrat Bth the candidates arts in favor of the Compromise measures. In the Second Hon. C. L. Dunham is the Democratic nominee, and Rog.r Martin, Esq., is the Whig. The contest, although somewhat animated, is by no means doubtful. Mr. Dunham will be elected by an increased majority. He may lose some votes among the rivet men, at New Albany an! Jefferson ville, but will more than luake the ,oss amo r the farmer in mJ intcrior , , V .. . . . Jf Martin ,s a mcchan.c without .ny political experience, and is said tob a respectable man, an,i a jrO Kj speaker. He was once a candidato in oppo9j,j()l, n Hon. T. J. Henley, and was defeated by 800 voles. In the Third District, Hon. John L. Robinson will be elected orer Col. Johnson Watts, who Is tho Whig and Free Soil candidate. Mr. Robinson's majority will be large. The Free Soil votes which Col. Watts will receive will be more than overbalanced by the loss of National Whigs, who will not support a Free Soiier. Robinson is canvassing the District. Col. Watts is travelling constantly, but making no s;eechcs. In the Fourth, commonly known as the " Burnt District." there is no Democratic candidate. The contest is between Samuel W. Parker, Esq., National Whig, who is in favor of sustaining the Compromise measures, and Hon. George W. Julian, abolitionist, who ispposed to them, and in favor of the repealing of the ftlgltive slave law, tho abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, Sec. The National Democrats will not generally vote. The Abolitionists and free soil Democrats will support Julian. If the Whitfs vote for Parker he will be elected , but it is thought that Julian will tret many Whig votes in consequence of Iii bitter opposition to Cass rind those who supported him. In that event the result is doubtful. In the Fifth, the Democratic nominee, T. A. Hendricks, Esq., will be elected. The Whigs h:ivc not seiet t yd a candidate. Col. Win. P. Rush is announced, but many of the Whigs in the District refuse to recognize him as a candidate, and from present indications Mr. Hendricks, who is a young gentleman of talents, will be elected by several thousand majority. In the Sixth District Col. WUlis A. Gorman Is the regular Democratic Candidate, Hon. Geo. W. Carr having withdrawn from the canvass as an independent Democratic candidate. Eli P. Farmer, Whig, is the only opponent of Col. G. Our information is that his majority will be very large. In the Seventh District Hon. E. 1V. McOaiighey is the Whig nomine. lie is opposed by John O. Davis, Esq., of Parke county. The District is Whig, but there is much disatisfaction towards McGaughey, and this, combined with the great personal popularity of Mr. Davis, makes the result doubtful. Wc think the L-hanccs are in favor of Davis. In tho Eighth, Major Daniel Maec is the Democratic candidate, David Brier, Whig, and Samuel A. Huff, Abolitionist, a'l nominated by regular conventions. Major Mace was the former District Attorney, and is a gentleman of talents and popularity. His election is regarded as certain. The Whig convention adopted a series of free soil, anti-fugitive law resolutions; but we understand that notwithstanding this yielding by the Whigs, Huff will still continue to bo a candidate, and will receive tli6 Free Soil vote. In the Ninth the contest is very animated. Hon. Grshum N. Fitch has been nominated by the Democrats for re-election; Schuyler Colfax, Esq., is the Whig nominee, and R. Stewart the Abolition candidate. The contest will be warm and close ; but we think there can i,e no reasohablo doubt of Dr. Fitch's election. The n :. : ,i, niMtn-.i ; t i .. ." .... .. the party desire the success of their candidate, who is a worthy and an able man, they should do their duty, as he is doing his. In the Tenth, Judge James W. Borden is the Democratie candidate, nominated lry n convention. Rev. Samuel Brcnton is t te Whig, running independent without a nomination, udge Borden will be elected by a large majority. Tb rc Is no Abolition candidate. The Ixtdy of thc party it is said will vote for Brenton, who, notwithstanding he ;s an office holder under Mr. Fillmore, is iu favor of the unconditional repeal of the Fugitive slave law. Except in two or three Districts the excitement is less than usual. Not a single member op. posed to the Corapiomise measures will bo returned, unless Julian should succeed. O" Hon. C B.

The Ritchie Clainw The Statesman, as might be expected, contains a very severe article in relation to the Ritchie claim. The resolution for the relief of Mr. Ritchie received tho vote of every member from the State, except Julian and McGaughey, and had the sanction of both the Senators. A more just claim for damages was nover presented to Congress. It was thoroughly investigated by a committee composed of both whigs and democrats, who unanimously reported tho joint resolution which passed

the House of Representatives, but Was defeated in the Senate for want of time. Mr. Ritchie was not the original contractor, but the surety for Trenham &. Belt. At great expense he prepared to execute the work. Congress was more than 30 days engaged in organizing the House. During all this time his presses were standing idle at a Cost of hundreds of dollars a day to his workmen who had to be paid. The census printing which he was entitled to. and on which Blair & Rives made more than one hundred thousand dollars profit, had been taken from him by the Secretary of the Intcrior. The balance of the printing was at Such ruinous prices that it did not pay journeyman's wages. The embarrassments caused by the execution of bis Contract, compelled him to sell the Union office ; and unless some relief Is granted . hewill in his old age be stripped of every cent of his property, and the man whom Senator Benton so feelingly and eloquently described as having been the champion of democracy for fifty vears the friend and companion of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, will die in poverty j and want. The resolution proposed to give him onewere elected printers, which was twenty pet cent. less, j Rt this illimn, h wnnM . Um i.U t nrnn. ! -j 1 1 incurred not one cent of profit. For this resolution many whigs voted. Every democratic member from Indiana voted for it. Every free soil abolition Senator and Representative voted k. gainst it. Every free soil paper denounced it, because they hated Ritchie and the Union, and now Dr. Ellis, the democratic (?) Auditor of State, calls it a " Galphin," to enable the whigs more effectually to use it against Messrs. Dunham, Robinson, and Fitch, who suppor.ed it. By way of excuse, however, the editor says: " We charge no m an with dishonesty who voted for the Ritchie claim, but dotiht the correctness of their juitginent. It looks loo much like an attempt to reward the old gentleman, for rris agency in getting up the silly humbug about the dissolution ol tneL'nion Mr. Ritchie favored the compromise measures. It 1 was that, and not the injustice or the claim, which ereatcd the opposition. It was violently and bitterly op- ! posed bv the South Carolina disunionists. and by every j frfift soil mmU in Connress- und nvnrv IVoa soil nsner in the Union has continued to denounce the claim and j a ) - j i r those who supported it. " Sill'j kumbuy about the dissolution of the Union," says the editor of the ' Statesman," but sneh national statesmen as Mr. Cass, Mr. Clay, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Webster, Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Downs. Mr. Douglass, and a bright host of other brilliant and pure patriots, thought as Mr. Ritchie did; but Seward, and Chase; and Hale, and Julia:, and Giddings, and Lloyd Garrison, and the whole abolition creW, thought ditlerently, and so did Dr. E. W. H. Ellis, Auditor of the State of Indiana. Aid from En-gland. An impression is very general amongst thedistmionUts of South Carolina that in case of collision with the United States, thev would receive succor from England, or some of the European Governments. In support of this opinion, we quote the following from the Camden, S. C, Jouihal: " We believe that England would acknowledge us an i rt. ' i' in1 nil i n t rnilhlk. mid fomo in nnil trn.li. M'ltti iw simply passing these blockading ships by: and if. in their passage, these slops should hrc on them, why, a ! broadfide from an English steamship would settle it, wc think, rather to the disadvantage ol alankoc revenue blockade cutter." Such reliance is a vain and fatal illusion. Wc trust the day is far distant when such an experiment will be tiied; but any interference by a foreign power would bring our government into immediate collision with them, which, in the distracted condition of Europe, would be attended with the most fatal consequences.

On the first ballott Mr. Cobb reccivod 103 votes: Mr. Wmthron 96: and David Wilmot. , "Ä ... ' I rree-souer, u. one ü und red and eleven votes were necessary to a choice. If these eight free-soilcrs had voted for Mr. Cobb he would have been elected and the House organized on the first day. Mr. Julian was not present but his abolition colleagues.

Philadelphia Ledger: It will be seen by the above extract that the prefent whig cabinet have decided in favor of extending the franking privilege to members of Congress from the term for which they were elected, and to continue until the meeting of the next Congress. Tho department has heretofore decided that the term of office commcne1 .1" . .. M . . . . ..M I ed with the commencement of Congress, when thc members were sworn and Congress regularly organized. Attorney General Crittenden has, however, given to the law another, and we think a most liberal construction, by deciding that the terra of office commences from the fourth of March, the day on which the old Congress expires. He may be correct. If so, the law is wrong. Thc object of extending the time after the adjournment ol Congress, was to ename u.c racmoer to scn.l, free of postage, such Congressional documents as might not be printed at the time of adjournment. But a. m s . mm . - we can see no reason for giving this privilege lo memj hers nine months before they have any congressional dutics to perform. rv-Thc question of a dissolution of thc Union is not . t . . . ... .
