The Whigs met in a Mass Meeting in Centrovtlle, on the 22i. the anniversary of the birth of that groat and good man Gen. Washington. Tho day itself was lovely the sun shone un rlouded, and all things assimilated to the bright and glorious prospecs of the great Whig partj. The meeting was composed cf some one thou sand Wbigs, gooJ and true, from all parts of the county. The greatest harmony pervaded lh crowd, and tho proceedings had un that occasion wero characterized by that good feeling which bhould alwajs be found in the ranks r.f a party contending for tho important principles in which tha prosperity of oor common country is so imminenily interested. Tho proceedings will be found in another column, and we call the alienlenlion of the Whig party to them. We cannot dismiss our nouco of this good gath" ering of tho people, without expressing that praise which is upon the tongue of all who were (oes-tnt in regard to the manner and the liberality with which they were entertained by tbe Whig citizens of Centrcullo. Tho ' latch-string " was emphatically out, and the most sumptuous repasts were w jihin, ond all were welcomed with a cheerful hi.fpitali iv, which might have conCVnirt v illo t l;u 11 ourself, that they believed wilLi Dr. Wolcotl j " Tlie tumyike road to people hcails I find I.iea tlirongh their mouths, or I mist-ike mankind." As a general remark, tht-ro is at least as much troth as poetry in tho above quotation, and if the Whig in attendance tit Centreville on the 22J, did not surrender tlipir hearts nt tho hospitality t.x'cndtd to them, tbey gave uu their stomachs with great docility. OUR CANDIDATES THE PLAN. 'I fie Whigs of Tippecanoe county have ad opted a plan for tho selection of their candidates for the Aoiisi election, similar to that Or doptcd fcy the Whigs of this county. We are .le istil lo see this thoroughly democratic plan adoptcd. It has been in practice in many places for several years, ond has, we believe worked well. There i one objection urged "gainst this plan, by some persons which we csnnot appreciate as they do. it is said, that in the great number of aspirants for the several ofTices to be fi led, an individoal may be nominated who is obnoxious lo a large majority of the party. Would not this objection be equally valid against our common election law. Previous to the orgsnitat ton of the two political parties which now nearly equally divide the people of this country, it was the practice of the times for every man ho was ambitious to hoIJ office, if he thought there was a prospect of success, to become candidate, and remain in the field until the close of the election.
