KrCol. Tnos. II. BI,AKE, at the Whig meeting on Saturday, stated, in a neat and eloquent speech, that he should not consent to hove his name used before the Bloomfield Convention, ss a candidate for the nomination (o Congress. He deemed this course proper, in order to prevent any division in the ranks of the Whigs, and to enable the Convention to arrive at an early selection of a candidate. He wished to be in the way of no one, ond would cheerfully support the nominee, no matter whore he resided. The uniformly generous course of Col.

A PROCLARATIOS!

A doxen of the Van Durcn members of tho late Legislature have put forth a kind of Address, or Proclamation, against their Whig colleagues in general, nnd the Whig party of Indiana, in particular. It is a curious affair, and aims to throw the whole blame of our Stats difficulties on the Harrison party! It would be a waste of time to criticise or expose its fallacies. Gen. HOWARD tried the same game last summer, but got a "flea in his ear" for his trouble. They talk of the Whigs as a set of robbers, rogues, idiots, and ragamuffins—too corrupt to be trusted, and too bad to live. On reading it, wo were forcibly reminded of a Proclamation once issued by a man in Newburyport, Massachusetts, who styled himself "/xmI Timothy Dexter"a sprig of nobility tumbled into decay/1 Lord Tim. once issued the following proclamation to the surrounding sinners, notifying them of his high displeasure. "WHEREAS, I, Lord Timothy Dexter, having been truly informed ihat several audacioos, atrocious, Befais, infamous, intrepid, night-walking.garden-viola-pcnch-stealine rascals, all the spawns rogue? and cuWof Satan, do frequently, villainously and burglarously assemble themselves together in any garden, therein piping, fighting, swear

WHIG MEETING.

Un Saturday last, the 27th uh., in pursuance of previous call, the Whigs of the ^tnty of Vigp met at the Court-house in Terre-Haute^^jyjpoint Delegates to attend the Convention, to at"{^flomficu^on the 3d Monday of the present month.j/xntcoo&£ a candidate to represent the 2d Congressi^^WMIiipei & the next Congress*

The meeting was called to «r9er by Col. T. H. BLAKE, on whose motion, L- H. SCOTT* Era., was called to tiiA chair, and EBEKUEEK PADDOCK, Esq., of Prairie Credf^/*nd W*. RAT, of Sugar Creek, were appointed Vice Presidents.

On motion of JOBS fi&iTTOir, Esq., J. H. HAttER^vas appointed Secretary. The objects of the meeting were then stated by Col. BLAKE, in a few short and appropriate remarks, when

On motion of Mr. S. B.Gooxiirs, it was Resolved, That this meeting, in view of the interests of the Whig party, as identified with the cause of good government and political reform, approve the proposed Convention at Bloomfield on the third Monday of March, to nominate a suitable candidate for Congress at the next election.

On motion of Mr. T. Down so, it was then iResolved, That the Chairman of this-tneeting be requested to appoint a committee of five persons to prepare suitable resolutions for the action of those now assembled, and that said committee be also directed to report the names of fifteen Delegates, from the different townships, to attend the Convention at Bloomfield, on the part of this county.

In accordance with the above resolution, the Chair appointed a committee of five, consisting of Messrs. T. Dowling, George Hussey. Benj. McKeen, Alex. Eflgleton, and M. M- Hickcox who retired, and after a short absence, presented for the consideration of the meeting the following report and resolutions:

The Committee appointed by this meeting, to perform the duty of reporting Resolutions for the action of those present, have had tlie same under consideration, and respectfully ask leave to suggest a few considerations, in reference to the objects which have brought us together.

The Committee desire to congratulate the Whigs of Vigo county on the success of those long-continued efforts, made during a period of twelve years, to bring back the government of this country to the good, old fashioned, and plain condition of its original intent. The year 1840 has been rendered memorable by a Revolution of Political opinion cheering to the Patriot and signally honorable to the People of the whole Union. In one of the most fierce, well-contested, and determined struggles ever waged by- Right against Fovoer, it has pleased an overruling Providence to cast its benign protection over an oppressed People and a bleeding country. Though Mr. Van Buren had the control of the Treasury, and all the means which patronage placed at his disposal—though he was backed, sustained, and advocated by one hundred thousand susiai official dependants—though his pensioned Presses waged a war of extermination against all who refused to sustain his corruptions—notwithstanding all these things, and more which may not be recapitulated, the voice of a Nation has pronounced his emphatic condemnation. This condemnation has not been sectional or partial. It extends from the centre to the circumference of the Union—from Maine to Georgia—from the Ocean to the Father of Waters—from the sunny South to the frigid and frozen North. The Slave-holder and non-Slave-holder—the descendants and followers of the virtuous Penn,nswell a* the citizens of the "dark and bloodjr ground"—have all borr.e their part in achieving this sublime political and moral revolution. If the rivalry to see what Stote or county could give tlie largest Whig majority hidicatesa superiority for some, it must be confcslied that all have done their duty—all have done well beyond the anticipations of even the most sanguine.

The Committee do not deem it proper to extol or eulogize the President Elect. We know him to be honest and faithful, and have confided to his keepinf the sacred trust of our country's honor. The future wil dcvelope how far this confidence has been redeemed. Having thus, in advance, extended to him our good opinion, will we not aid him to relieve the country from the perilous condition in which it is left by his predecessor Can he do it, unaided and alone Can the Executive, by his single arm. achieve the country's disenthral 1 men Not at all. The law making poww must be provided, with reference to these important reforms. The recommendations of President HARRISON will all be made, we have every confidence, with a direct and single eye to the redubtion of public expenditures—to the curtailment of overgrown salaries—to the abolishing ot unnecessary offices—to a rigid accountability on the part of public agents—to the establishment (so far as it may be constitutionally done) ofa sound and uniform currency, and the protection of the great Agricultural and Manufacturing interests of the country. If these measures are deemed essential by the People at large, they must remember that another agent is necessary to carry them out. Thai agent is a REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. He reflects vour sentiments, and not the President, as has been dangerotyM and alarmingly preached by the man whom you conaemned at the ballot-box in November last. Our'fc if, emphatically. a Representative Government, the Executive being merely an agent to carry out the will of th« People, as expressed by theif lawfully constitttTM

Congress of the Union. This important PRiNCiri^ so dear to every Democratic Republican, should nevef tyfe lost sight of—never abandoned or surrendered, and

never will be, till the last pulsation of liberty shall b$ come extinct. Those who would confer, by word or deed, any other power than this in the hands of the Presideut, are unsafe politicians—men who should not be trusted with the safe-keeping of the public honor, nor elevated to any post where meir heresies could be felt. If these doctrines are admitted, as they surely will be, in the Democratic county of Vigo, what is the duty of her citizens?

In the first place, we should prepare to meet otjr political brethren of the Second Congressional District in Convention, by Delegates selected by ourselves, to speak the views and wishes of Vigo,and to counsel oi the best means of effecting a union of sentiment and action throughout the whole District. The election may be held before the regular day in August, and, if so, no time is to be lost in bringing our candidate into the field. Oar opponents, though vanquished, are not conquered. Signs of returning animation ore visible, for the Snake's satched. not killed." The battle will be fought, not, perhaps, with their accustomed spirit and resolution, but with all the subtlety and cunninjg for which the Van Buren party is so remarkable. Thar overthrow at Waterloo will serve as a motive for meeting us under the walls of the Capitol. They have re treated for the purpose of defensive operations. Let as dislodgo them, by saving tlie Representative chamber from the Spoilers.

When we meet together, as citizens of Vigo, how cheering it is to look back to the post! Years of toil come up to our remembrance, when we recollect our struggles! In 1832, Vigo was the only Whig county from the Lakes to the Ohio. She stood alone, the citadel of Democracy on the Wabash, and, like the trusting and confiding Christian, never abandoned the political faith delivered to her. Around her has clustered, in 1840, the gallant counties of Putnam, Vermillion, Warrep, Tippecanoe, Knox. Daviess. Martin,and last, though not least, Parke, Owen, and Greene. Six of these counties are in the Second Congressional Dis trict, and ail of them with us, steadfast snd firm Js there a Whig bore who does not rejoice at this evidence of advancing political truth Is there an old man hfcre who does not look back to his labor* with pride? Is there a young man who docs not feel his resolution confirmed to continue his efforts in defence of the country The past year was signally glorious to the patriotism of Vigo. Though a small county, she gave 928 majority for HARRISOV, and won for herself He proud title of "Banner county of Indiana."

Will she faulter now Will she refuse to unite with her sister counties in choosing a man to Congress who can and will assist in the work of political reform Need the Committee ask the question One of the ju-st in the field, she will be the last to leave it and though the claims of her prominent citizens, to a seal in Congress, have been postponed for years, she wil) never complain of any real or apparent injustice, on that account. If there are citizens of other counties more deserving than her—more devoted to the cause of the country—more capable—more faithful—more likely to unite the whole Whig strength—all she asks is to have them put in nomination. Vigo is prepared for another sacrifice of her wishes, and will cheerfully onite on any good, capable, and honest man selected by the Convention. Her Delegate* will go for the best—to consult for the public welfare, snd to

counsel with their feliow-citiscns for the nomination of a candidate whose principles are identified with (be success of the Democratic President, WE Htttr HARRISON.

If the proposed Convention should come together imbued with the patriotic feelings which distinguished the Whiga in the late political contests, all wilt he^wsll, and the supremacy of our glorious cause maintained. Devotion to siew, no matter how much ws esteem sad confide in tbam, should gire place to a permanent fesolve to place oar principle*, and their success, above ail considerations of a mm personal nature. As for Vigo, let others do as they may, she claims to set for the good of the cause, and. disregarding tbc promptings of tnd*THi$t*l ambition, wil! unite wuh a majority of the District in a steady, consistent, and manly support ilyadtsa of the nominee, whoever he may be. corresponding spirit from ber sister counties—and that spirit, she feels assured, will carry as triumphantly through the approaching conflict.

In accordance with these views, the Committee tospectfully recommend tho adoption of the following resolutions:

Remdwed, That it is the doty of the WUn to mow, by Delegates, ia Costveotioo, at Bioamfieid, in Green county, on the third Monday is March, 1*41. to nominate some suitable individual to be supported for

Gentlemen:—A bill passed the House this morning, which, from the interest your State has in it, and the length of time it has been pending, I presume you will be pleased to hear of. This morning Mr.

LANE,

though decided in his politics, has not that severity about him which creates opposition, often where it is not deserved. ,*

A bill passed the House to-day Appropriating $75,CKM) for continuing the survey,of the North Eastern Boundary.

The general Appropriation Bill is still uoder discussion,and will not be taken out of Committee of the Whole before to-morrow ot next day. There has been a great deal of breath wasted upon this bill, and various attempts mode to amend it, but as yet little cha^e made in the principal features. In Committee, late this evening, an nmendment was engrafted to make tho fees of the U. S. District Attorneys' the same as is allowed by law to the State Attorneys' of the State where they respectively preside.

TENDEN bring in a bill to restrain Federal officers from interfering with the election of State or Federal officers. The refusal drew forth a debate, in which several of tho most distinguished Senators took part, and delivered brief but thrilling and pertinant speeches. Mr. CLAY, of Ky., was eloquent when he spoke of the novel and beautiful spectacle of an Administration just coming into power, with a large majority, before taking the reins, striving to strip the Executivo of power and patronage, that very power which had been so strongly wielded against this same party.

Messrs. BUCHANAN and PRESTON eacn paid Mr. CHITTEXDEN a beautiful and well-merited complimcnt, this being probably the last measure he would move before leaving the Senate and going in a wider field of action.

At the conclusion of Mr. PRESTON'S remarks, the audiencc in the galleries and lobby could not refrain from applauding. Several Senators called out to have the galleries cleared, and Mr. Benton thought proper to style them a set of blackguards. This uncalled for nnd unjustifiable expression, you may well suppose, created considerable excitement. No man of liberal and honorable feelings in bis own breast would have availed himself of his position to use so insulting an expression to others, his equals, if not his superiors.

Mr. WEBSTER to-day sent in a letter apprising the President that he had resigned his seat as a Senator from Massachusetts. Mr. COTHBEP.T, of Georgia, regretted that Mr. W. had not given the intelligence in person, as he had some questions to propound to himThis callcd forth from Messrs. CLAV,of Ky., Rivesand PRFSTON, a high and deserved elogium on Mr- WEBSTER. They spoke as men who knew and appreciated the magnitude of this great statesman^ mind, and were willing to pay the homage due to his resplendent talents.

BALTIMORE, FEB. 23,1841

Dear Sir I have just returned from Washington, snd yesterday was a glorious day for Indiana. H. S. LANE has succeeded in getting the Wabash and Erie Canal Bill through the House. That which the great man, "Our Howard,-' failed to do, has been accompiished by his young and indefatigable successor, and in a body consisting of the same men! Mr. Lane's gentlemanly deportment, and open frankness of manner, has made msny of bis political opponents his personal friends, and hence his success. The Whig Delegation, in both Houses, have labored like men tor this measure, and none more so than the old warhorse, RARISEK. This last-named gentlemen hss never been his own trumpster, snd hss never had justice done him by the West, for bis antiring seal snd watchfulnen over ber interests. No man from the West wields a greater influence than Mr. R., and this I say, sir, without desiring to disparage other gentlemen. Mr. Proffitt, of the First District, hss a high standing in the House, as a debater, and is perfect scourge to the Southern members. He is a noble and high-souied Whig, nailing his colors to the mast, and daring his opponents to the en counter. I love to hesr brm talk.

It is uncourteous though, indeed, This cruelty to me For I have been her friend in need,

L. H. SCOTT, President.

EBENEZER PADDOCK, WM. RAT, of Sugar-Creek,

V. Pres'ts.

LANE,

having

prepared the way for it, moved in Committee of the Whole to take up a bill confirming to the State of Indiana the title to certain lands heretofore selected for the aid of the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The bill was taken up, and having been briefly explained by Mr.

PROFFIT,

was passed

through the House, and now will, beyond a doubt, become a law. The House is so far behind the cal'.ender, and there are so many bills of a private and public characte rwhich members are anxious to press through, that Mr.

LANE'Ssuccess

getting this bill up and parsed, may well be looked upon as a happy hit, and one which shows strongly the standing which he and the Whig Representatives from Indiana have with the House. If I remember aright, this bill hns been pending a number of years, and although in the hands, for along time, of Mr. HOWARD, a leading partizan member of the dominant party, could not be got through. Warm partizan members carry an influence in all measures of party character, but beyond that their influcnc? is limited. Mr.

I've wandered with her many a night, j" Along the dewy sward, When Dian from her cloudless height

A mellowed radiance poured I've made her presents—rings, and rosesPerfumes—pomatums—prints, and posies—

And this is my reward To see her thus another's bride Myself most rudely ca"Bt aside.

I got here last evening, jist arter lamp lighting, and took a run round to most all the banks to see if I could find any on 'em open, but I found 'em nil locked up and bright lamps burning afore the doors, und good strong broad-shouldered waichmen standing at their posts with clubs and rattles jist for nil the world as tho' the banks was as full of specie payments ns ever, and not a mite of difference.

I stopt and had a leetle tnllc with one of these watchmen, and tevs I, "stranger, is there no gitten in here to see folks?" "Not to-night," says he, "all the banks areshct up." "Howyoutalk,"saysI, aid so I streak'd it round to Squire 3iidle's premeses, for I had a notion if I could only git a fair talk with the Squire, I would lam prilty much all about the matter.

I found the Squire to hum, and he was amazin glad to see me and he and I went right up into a room afouo where I found a good warm Lehigh coal fire burning, and a table kivered with papers and he took one chair and I another, and we went at it straight off "So," says I, "Squire, you arc all suspentled agin, I larn." "Yes," says he, "Major, the folks who wanted hard money have got all the banks had to give them and as the bankscan't coin hard money, ana can only git it from (he folks who owe them, it turns out that, as the hanks have not got the same power by thelaw to make folks pay them as fast as the other folks want it, the on us or a el "But,"says I, "Squire, how on airth isit that things work so that one set of folks keep drawing out of tne spiggot faster than other folks pour into the bung-hole» Things wnrn't so ill Mr. Adam's time,"saysI. 'Now. how is it?" This set the Squire scratching his bead and thinking, and to give him time to answer, I took the poker, and began poking up his Lehigh coal fire, to see if there was any maze in it, and to rights, says he, "Major, what are you poking that fire for? Do you expect to make it burn brighter? Tf you will take my advice," says he, "you will let it alone. Aint the room warm enuff" "Yes," says I, "its warm enuf, but a little ooking wont do any harm, will it?" "Well"says he. "TOU goon poking, and you will see and sure enuf tne more 1 poked, the darker the fire and fcoal got and bime-by it all went out. "Well," says I, "Squire, this is a plagy orld kind of fire of your'n." says I, "Yes," says he, "its Penns^vanycoal it won't stand poking, Major if you let it alone, it will burn slowly ana surely, and give out comfortable heat but if folks go to poking at it. it turns and looks black at them, and gives them a cold shiver." "Well,"'says f, '^squire, I want you to answer and explain to me *oie about this matter- IIow is it," says I. "that all vour Banks have suspended specie payments—all broke—nil gone to everlasting and eternal smash? Now, howhasall this come about?" says I. "Well,"says he, "Major, I'll tell you. In the first place, when you first entered this room, didn't you find it warm and comfortable, and a goodfire burning? Didn't von take up that poker and begin to poke with it? Didn't I give yoti a civil hint to let it alone?— Didn't you continue poking and poking, till at last the fire went out? And aint this room now cold and dark, compared to what it was? Now, come here"—ond ho took a candle and went up to the fire place, and snvs he—'"there is the coal yet—it aint burnt up—the fire has only gone out I can put a little kindling under it, and clsp on the blower, and in a iittlo while yon will see as bright and warm a fire as before but where is the use ofkindling np again, unless folks will see the folly of poking at it? It is just so in Banking mattira. I tried it, and for sixteen years and over, snd no peo-

in creation ever saw a warmer snd better fire than kept up it warmed all kinds of folks, too the circle around it was wide enuf to admit every living critter in the country, snd all equally felt the warmth. Bnt then began the poking system. I tried- every means to prevent it. but it was no use and then I quit, and Mr. Dunlap he tried it. but the pokers were still ready snd no sooner was it kindling up, when at it they went pokitig snd poking, snd the resolt yon see snd now the question is. Shall we have a new fire kindled, and what shall be the fuel? Shall it be Lehigh Coal, or English Coat? Old Penneytvanr has a word tossy in this matter, it she druses to speslc, for there is just this difference between her Coal snd sll other kina of Coal

it won't stand poking, but if let alone will burn steadily and sorely to the last, whilst other Coal may blaze up with poking, and the sooner go to ashes. The Coal is in the grate yet. Major," says he, "though by piking,it hsscessedburning." "Yes,"ssys I,

A CAPITAL DOWNIVG LETTER.

FROM THE NEW YORK EXrRESS. (J PHILADELFY, 9TH FEB. A D. 184T.

To the Editors of my old friend Mr. Dwight's paper, that he used to take the lead on a spel ago. GENTLEMEN: I suppose you will be considerable wonderated to know what on airth led me from the track to Washington with the Old Hero of the North Bend Cabin and Bring me here. Well I'll tell you. 1 and the Gineral was a drifting along down from the West, and bowing and shaking off the everlasting crowd of folks all tne way from the Ohio, till we struck along the edge of old Pennsylvany, when we heard folks beginning to talk about hard money, and paper money, and resumption, and suspension, and tilings of that natur, when says I, "Gineral, you may depend there is trouble brewing somewheres along here, and if you say so," says I, "I'll iist quit you for a spell and take a turndown to Philauelfy.and look into tne matter a little, nnd jine you at Washington." "Well," says he, "Major, seeing as how folks begin to thicken amazingly around us, my calklation is you won't be much mist,but see that you git to Washington as soon as possible, and in the mean time let me know nil you meet with worth hearing," and so I quit, and as the Ginernl never wants to know nothing more than the people know themselves, I send you this letter to trint, and you will please send a copy on't to the Gineral, so that he will know as much as other folks do about it.
