Congressional Contsntion.— Last week, we published an article from the Cambridge Reveille, suggesting that a convention be held in Cambridge city, on Wednesday, the 18th of August next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress. We now copy the following from the Winchester Patriot, of the 16th (net., in relation to the same subject: “Congressional Convention.— The New Castle Courier of the 9th Inst, urges the propriety of holding a Congressional Convention at an early date, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress in the sth Congressional District. It proposes that it be held on Tuesday the 17th of August at New Castle. The time proposed by the Courier b not too soon, but as early, perhaps, as.it can conveniently be held. It b a matter of the utmost importance to the Whig parly that their candidates be brought into the field at at early a date e possible, that they may have an opportunity of canvassing the District fully. We eay let TUESDAY tbe 17th of AUGUST be the time and Camboibok City or Haoamtown be the place of holding the Convention. Let the Whig press however, settle thb question and we will yield a hearty concurrence.— Whatever is done, should be done inetanter We also copy the following article from the same paper, to inform the reader as to the manner the Whigs of Randolph have adopted to

appowt delegates to the Convention: "CbeMy Convention.-^ The Whigs of Ran* dolph Comity will hold a County Convention at the Courthouse in this place, on SATURDAY the 3d day of AUGUST next, for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the Congressional District Convention. Whigs, we were placed by the action of the last Legislature, in a congressional district where we can, with united and determined action, *usfly secure a triumph of whig principles. Let ns arouse then, and go into the oampaign with a seal worthy of the whig cause. Every effort will be unavailing unless we or* ganise, and that too, quickly. Every township should hold a Whig township convention and appoint delegates to attend the county convention on the 3d of August. Will some whig in caeh township attend to this matter?— Now is the time for action. The Whig Central Committee of Fayette temgpy at a meeting held in Connenville on lire I Oth inst., adopted the following: On motion the whigs were also, requested at their to wash ip meetings, to appoint delegates to meet in Convention with the delegates from other counties, composing this Congressional district. The Committee suggested that the District Cauvoution.be held at Cambridge City, Wayne county, la., ami the Thfed Saturday in August as the tome of their meeting aud would ask an expression from the other towtrtfoa composing In vslatfoh to this same subject the Muncie Cresset, contains the following additional r -ana iw ml ** - 1 m? - ft , „ u ESJ?. far ITSS

'H g

hojden on the Tho Reveille suggests and the Cresset agrees to the 18th, the Patriot and Courier the 17th, and (he Whig Central Committee of Fayette the fist, of August, for the holding of the t.'onI vention. It will no doubt be entirely satisfactory to our brethren of the Wbig press of the District to have the Convention held on WEDNESDAY tbe 18th day of August, and We therefore respectfully suggest that tbit day be declared the day of Meeting.

Nominating Election. —The Whigs of this county will remember that Saturday, the 14th of August, has been designated by the Central Committee as the time for holding the nominating election in the respective township* of the county. The importance of the pending election—the large number of candidates to he selected, and the necessity of a full expression of tbe wishes of the whigs, whereby harmony may be secured, demands that all who feel an Interest In the success of whig principles should attend, and contribute their votes to the election of the candidates.

The following is a list of the candidates, subject to the decision of (be whig*: For Senator.—OUtuts Bctl**-W. R. Fgulke. For Representative. — Branson L. Kauris— Henry W. Shuman—Elihu .Hunt—R O. Dor use—J. F. Doughty— L. A. West—Jonas Harris—Hnnnv 0. JesTtoa—Brno Hannum. Sheriff.— John C. Pam—C. T. Wilms. Treasurer.— Achilles Williams—Dr. John Prichet, Judge of Common Pleas Court.— James Brown— J. B. Stitt— N. H. Johnson—Gao. Develin. , Assessor, —J. W. M’Phrrson. “Hark from the Toombs."— Messrs. Toombs And Stephens of Georgia, and several others of like political stripe,have issued a card, that (bey "cannot and will not support Gen. Scott for the Presidency as he now stands before the American people.” Why Is it, that they cannot support Gen. Scott? Simply because he would not pledge himself to bow down to Southern dictation, and promise to do their bidding. We honor him for his noble independence and firm* ness. They say they cannot support Gen. Scott, because "he obstinately refused, up to the time of his nomination, to give any public opinion In favor of that series of measures of the last Congress known as the Compromise.” That "since his nomination he has made no declaration of hta approval 6f those measures as a final adjustment of the issues in controversy"— because he does not "give them the approval of hit judgment," and because he has heretofore expressed sentiments inimicable to the institution of Slavery. These are a few of the reasons why these southern agitatorscannot vote for Gett. Scott. They would Rot vote for any man unless they be!iVed he Would Izsbv ibeiv jMcuHttr policy. They were elected, at least some of them, under the agitation of a Union party, and are not recognised as members of tbe Wbig party, consequently their determination not to vote for Scott cannot bare much influence on his election. This continued Southern cry shout "saving the Union," is sheer humbuggery and nothing else. There b no danger of the dbsolution of the Union. It is held together by no such feeble eords os to be sundered by the ranting of such demagogues as Toombs and hb associates. While the north would have the respect of their Southern friends, and retain their own selfrespect, they will not be driven from a maintainnnoe of their rights os citisens of our common country. When these southern hobpura fail to secure their object, by legitimate means, they will endeavor to acquire it by the acquisition of further southern territory end an increased southern vote. Their next effort will be the further annexation of Mexico, and the conquest or purchase of' Cuba. Gen. Scott b not the man to advance these projects. A more pliable tool is wanted, and consequently ho must be defeated for tho presidency. These gentlemen complein that Gen. BcoU’s judgment does not approve and regard the compromise measures as a finality; and yet they are continually agitating the subject, and projects ore now on foot in tbe South to violate thie same "finality" about which they prate so much. We believe a majority of the South era disposed to Ift the matter rest for the time being, end ihet these gentlemen of the card ere not and will not be sustained in their present course. If it Is otherwise, wo trust the north will show them by rallying

around the standard of Gen. Scott, in the proud position ha occupies under the declaration that if elected to the Presidency he will faithfully discharge the duties of that office by enforcing the lawa of the country, aud maintaining the lawful rights of mi har citisens. (KrPierce was a Brigadier General in the Mexican war. Did he f ght a single battle; if so, when is the report? Will brother Elder inform hie readers? The above we take from the Richmond Palladium. This is a fair specimen of the whig scandal, which oft honorable whig editors would dispise to otter. Was Gen. Pierre in a single battle indeed! Waa ho not in many of the mwwi ones fought. We hope “Bro. Elder” mill inform him on that point. If ho don’t, we will. —Democratic Hammer ’’Bro. Elder” has failed to do it, and you have the chance of displaying your abilities ha conjuration. Wo oak, did he a single battle? We afSna that he did not.' Now for your proof. Bring it on, and redeem you pWg *' ________ *3Toar Democratic Mead of the Cambridge Crty News, is sorely troubled at a retort, quo tad by us, in reference to the Germans.

in hunting tip and publishing another list of new supporters of Gen. Pierce, We trust \he editor of the Jeffersonian will not forget to quote the "aid and comfort" given by its Tory ally of the London Times! ",We invite the special attention of dUr" Pfetce "friends to this evidence of the" British "enthusiasm in faVor of Gen." Pierce.

gQTThe Illinois Whig Convention nominated B. B. Webb, tot Governor) Col. J. L. D. Morrison for Lieut, Governor) B. T. Morris for fieoretary of State; F. Arents for Treasurer, and Charles Betts for Auditor. Wm. Bebb, (late Governor of Ohio) and Joseph Gilbspb wore nominated electors at large by acclamation.. MCtThe editor of the News refers to a letter said to have been Written by Gen. Scott, "ip which he declares hb mind inclines to a. total repeal of all sots of Congress on the subject of naturalisation." This letter referred to has been declared to be a forgery, and the proof demanded that auoh a letter bin exbtenei. Bro. Daily would do well to inquire Whether he is not giving currency to this forgery, before he gives further ciroulatioß to it,

JS@r*lt is said that the Navy Department ha* not been tendered to John P. Kennedy, as heretofore stated. JSrThe Episcopal Convention before which Bishop Doans was arranged under charges of immorality 4e. baa acquitted him. J9*Roger Jones, Adjutant General in the United States army, died ut Washington, ml tbe evening of the 16th inst. Bo“ George C. Washington, the nominee of the Native American Convention, has a letter published in the National Intelligencer, in which he declines the nomimitkm. He says he esteems General Eeott for his spotless character, manliness and bravery, and for the services which he has rendered to his eountry in many a hard-fought field, by which the character of the nation has been elevated both at home and abroad. He concludes by saying that tbe nomination of the Whig Contention ■hall receive hb cordial support. MF*The Southern Rights Convention, recently held in Montgomery Ala., declined to. nominate a third candidate for the presidency. A strong address to the Whigs of Georgia, calling a Convention, is published in the Athens Republican, numerously signed by the principal Whigs in the Stats. This excellent address concludes as follows:

Whigs of Georgia! Every thing w Weu party men been accustomed to cherish depends oil the contest. Let us remember the now classic glories of *4O, the Rpnar Cur of ‘44, the victory of 48, and resolve to consecrate to •till more grateful memory the struggle of ‘B2! Let us rear on high the standard of "Scott, Graham, and Our Country," and bear it aloft in triumph! Then "Awakel Arisel Shake off the dew-drops that glitter on your garments, and march forth to battle and to victory I’* cases of cholera proved fatal in Wilmington, Ohio, during the past weak. always prefer am Honorable Peace even to a Successful War,” were the noble words of Winfield Scott In 1848, When denying the unjust charge of opposing a treaty then before the Senate.

* CuNTßXVllfc*, JttJf 1* MM. Editott Palladium: It is a moat difficult trek to attempt W indite a letter for the public •ytf when you hate frothing of particular irttetfr eat to write about. With the tfennomefrM up to flitietjr-with dotty afreet*, brick walla arid atone pavement* to greet the eye, and withal a dullness that betoken* the Sabbath more than a week day, the effort to write, anythin* apjcy or evan interesting la no amall labor. The general reader, aa he acans the pages of a newspaper—be- . eomea loat in the absorbing fictions Os the novel,' or follows the profeuttd reaaorilng of the mao of science, gives but little thought aa to how much toil, mental labor, and exertion it cost the writer to produce that which affords bitn so much pleasure. With the interesting pages before him, and iqteAt on hi* own hspph ness, he thinkOttOtof the weary hours, the restlest nights, the mental exhaustion, the beating heart and the aehing head that was endured by the author to produce, In the human laboratory, sOch sparkling thoughts, or to unfold the profounder depths of science. There is one ingredient that not unfrequently efiters into the History of authors, end political writers that has contributed an additional cup of bitterness, end that is—poverty, and pecuniary emberasement.' Homer Wes a poor, blind. Wandering minstrel. When living, he had no home, and perhaps hot much fame; when dead, nine cities of Greece claimed the honor of hie birth piece. Dante, the greet Italian poet,wrote hi* principal frtfrlifi in poverty and exile. When dScefiMd, find When wealth and favor could no longer avail him, hie native State, with tardy justice, erected a monument to hia memory, and I almost paid him divine honors. Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, arid almost the onnine, and died in the greatest want Milton, who stands at the head of English Epic poets, often labored under pecuniary embarrassments. Under the pressure of hia poVefty, he sold his Paradise lost for five pounds, Or about twenty, live dollars. Burns, the magic of whose music has thrown such poetic interest around the hills, the glens and streams of Scotland, died with all the horrors of a jail before him. And poor Goldsmith! who that has felt the witchery of his pojished verse—smooth and musical aa the gentle rivulet, Or admired the beautiful etyle and sentlftiente of hie prose writings could for a moment imagine that necessity and want impelled the pen of that eccentric child of genius, Goldsmith, with his thoughtless liberality,was always poor, and harassed with debts Measurably without money, and with the accompaniament of his flute to pay his way, He mads the journey of Europe on foot. Whilst on his route, he principally composed "The Traveler” a poem that will never go out of print. In this poem, speaking of himself in comparison to hia brother Henry, who, despising lame and fortune, lived contented and happy, as a county Curate; on forty pound* a year, he eays;

'’Butin*, not destined such delight* to stuMv, My primp of liWlt, Wandering sprat and caret Impelled with etepa unerasing to pursue Rome Bitting good that morha me with the view: That like the circle bounding earth and tklvs, Allurea from far, yet ne I follow, fliee, My fortune lead* to traverse-realm* alone, Alid flbd bo spot of oil the world my own." It ts well for the feme of Goldsmith that he was poor. Necessity compelled him to mental labor, and hia pen has raised for him a monument that will oe more enduring than the marble that covers him in Westminster Hall. Pecuniary embarrassment was the great motive power that impelled the mighty intellect of Sir Walter Scott. By the profits derived from the isle of his works, he paid off debts to over fifty thousand pounds. His mental activity was fiwmonoa. .--He nt unfeaqiieintly wroULihir. teen hours in e day; and thus, aa if impelled by fate, he wee urged on by mental action to the close of hia long life. With e little eiteration the etantas on the death of Mrs. Remans by L. E.Landon Wright have been very appropriately applied to Scott in the aenith of hie fame. rai I nB ipiiliii pill ilif Ini nil % * A fisted doom te Ills wha etaadi, Upon a height like thine. The crowd—they only sen the croWn, They only hear the hymn, They mark not that the cheek le pale, And that the eye la dim.

Leaving this subject, however, Ist me direct the attention of yoiir readers to a matter of more practical importance. The Connty Fair will be held at this place on the 6th, Ylh and 6th of October; and it ie to he hoped that the Agricultural, Mechanical and Domestic deffertments of the county will be fulty represented. Agriculture is the foundation of all wealth. On this department of labor. Manufactures, Commerce end the Arts look for h support. Ths esrth Is a great mtna of wealth, and by Its proper cultivation it will yield a rich end an increasing harvest. Thsss Agriculture 1 Fair* stimulate every department of labor. The number, the variety, the usefulness of the articles exhibited at the first Fair, aatonished everybody. The approaching one will be of still greater interest. Let the people prepare for it, end come up as the Jews did of otd to one of their national feasts. Mr. C. T. Wilson of this place, and present Coroner of the County, Will, t learn, he a candidate for the nomination of Sheriff. Mr. Wilson ia a number One Whig—an excellent man, and if he should beat Mr. Page for the nomination, he will certainly be Sheriff. I learn that the Democrats intend to hold a ratification meeting at this place on next Saturday. It is said that there will be a pole raising during the day. and a torch-light procession at night. Coma in Wkiga and see tha sight. To save the trouble of meeting to appoint delegates from this county to a District Convention, t would suggest that the candidates for Congross, Messrs. Holloway end Parker, be voted for at the nominating election; and the decisions thus made by townships can be presented to the Convention by the-Chairman of the Whig Central Committee. Whet say the Palladium and Reveille to this suggestion? I have heard Mr. John R. Hutton of your city suggested as a whig candidate for Commissioner.

Keep M before the People. ml declared h tori seif in favor of the The Bankrupt bill Was patted by the votes Os, Democrats and Whig*.’ n was not measure, fjleat If it is to be brought as a charge against, Gen. Scott, It would be Weil for Bro. i Hargitt to look how some of his political friends j in Indiana ksVe acted and voted on the question. | At the session of the Indiana legislature of. 1841-2, a proposition WSs introduced to instruot our Senators and Representatives in Congress to vote for a repeal of this Bankrupt law, This resolution wx* opposed by John W. Davie, the president of the late Democratic Convention, W. J. Brown, editor of the State Sentinel, Gorman, flow in Congress, Hannegan, Henley, and about a dosea mere prominent members of the democratic party. If it ie charged that Gen. Scott is now in favor of that inw, it is equally fair to say that Davit, Brown, Hannegan, Healey, and • host of other democrat# in Indiana are In favor of it. This, however, ie not a question at issue, and is only brought forward because there U nothing better to obarge against Gen. Scott. The editor of the Jacksonian charges that Gen. Scott teat infavor of a Distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lauds- Are | you not in favor of that same measure now, Bro. Hargitt? Tour partv in the House of BoWhat ia the difference. The Whigs would, years ago have given it to the States, and now you are doing the same thing. You have given up your opposition to that measure and are now trying to carry out that measure for which you denounced the Whigs and Gen. Scott. Surely democracy is ohanging its spots, And placing itself upon Whig grounds.

We shall continue the publication of Gen. Scott's principles hereafter. We think ft Will convince our readers, whigs as well as Democrats, of the truth of Horace Greely's opinion of him "that what little brains he hat lies in his epaulettes? "—Jacktonim. Does not the editor of the Jackaonfttf know that Horace Greeley hat declared that he never made use of such an expression as that quoted above? Does he not further know that the gcntleftfkn' to Whom the letter is said 1 to' fcfte been written, has publicly declared that no such expression Was contained in the letter referred to? Bro, Hargitt don bum this, then why repeat the slander?
