In reference to a Whig candidate for 'Congress 1n this District, thc laat Parke W a

For some time past, we have thought the Whigs "of'this District ought to be casting round to s«e-which of their number they ought'to put forward as their candidate for Congress, in opposition to John G. Davis, who •naff lately been nominated by the Dem tjeraflc Invention. We are pleased to see that a movement has now been made by our Whiff friend* in Sallivan, Owen, and Vigo, whjtm Ms so appropriate and judicious •as to ^to assurance of general approbation. 'Thtiy recommend C. W.. Barbour, of Terr® Urate, ttae *f the strongest and least objectienahhr meii in the'District It is true, that in our own county, and in other part* of the District, there are other good and available men, whoatr frienda would hare been gratified to have them put forward for thi« race, but we are pttrsuaded they will readily acquiesce ft whatever choice seems to give the -greatest aafarance of harmony and success.

In the first District, Mr. De Bruler being unable to canvass the District, has declined, and John J. Chandler, Esq., being the contingent, has been placed on the ticket. In the 4th District, John H. FarfptharjEsrj., is the Whig candidate for Congress, and John I. Scoby, Esq., the contingent, has been put on in his place. In the 6th District, F. M- Finch, Esq., is a candidate for Circuit Judge, and John Coburn, Esq., contingent, horbecn put on in bis place. In the 11th District, J. M. Wallace, Esq., is the Whig candidate for Cong1*688' and C. D. Murray, the contingent, being a candidate for Judge of the Common Pleas, the District Convention recommend that Gustavus H. Vosa be put on the electoral ticket, which has been done.

The celebration of the anniversary of General Scott's entering the city of Mexico is to take place at Louisville on the 14th of September. The Whigs of Louisville being "profoundly grateful for the lustre shed upon the army of our common country, hy the illustrious Scott, belore tho walls of Mexico, have determined to celebrate his triumphant entry intothat city on the 14th of September, 1852, the anniversary of that glorious day." They invite their Whig brethren throughout the United States to unite with them on that occasion. They will be proud to extend to all who will be there an "old fashioned Kentucky hospitality." There will be, no doubt, a tremendous outpouring of the people, .such an assemblage as the gallant and hospitable State of Kentucky can draw from the adjoining States, and from the whole Union. In that State, where repose the ashes of Clay and Taylor, la a fitting place to celebrate the deeds of another of our illustrious countrymen.— 'Thousands and tens of thousands will be there to do honor to the brave old heroi

Senator

from Kentucky, having «°me ambition for distinction has called for an exact account of all the moneys received from the Unties States, by the two oandidatea for the Presidency, while serving in the array. This will be anew item for Democratic orators to descant upon during the canvass. The salary of Gen. Pierce for one year's service as a Brigadier General, will undoubtedly look small along side the salary of General Scott for fbrtorfHtr years ^rvte*, the principal part of the time a*Major General, To do full justice to the subject, another call should be made, for the exact valne to the country of the services of these two men, whether the estimate is made in dollars, or the greatness, advancement, power, fame, the country has derived from their services. There is where the relstive accounts should be examined. Who so pitiful as to obscure by dollars and cents, the page of history that records the deeds of Gen. Scott in promoting the welfare, happiness, prosperity, pride,glory, of thii country? If any there are, the true feeling of an American has but little flow in their veins. Take any of his brilliant triumphs, Lundy's Lane or his career in Mexico, and is there a man to be found who would not vote him all the money he has received during his whole life rather than either of those occasions Bhould have terminated in the downfall of our flag, the vanquishment of our arms, disgrace and defeat] Then why talk about measuring the benefits this country has received from his services by the meagre salary the laws of the land allowed him? We feel assured that there is too much good sense, too much patriotism among the people to be iufluenced by any attempt of the kind, l-

CHANGE OF TIME.—By reference to Rail Road advertisement it will be seen that the Fall and Winter arrangement for the running of the cars, will go into operation on Monday, August 30. On and after that date, until further notice, passenger trains will leave Terre Haute at 7 o'clock, A. M., and arrive at Indianapolis at 10 o'clock and 39 minates; returning will leave Indianapolis at ten minutes past 1, and arrive at Terre Haute at 4 o'clock and 49 minutes. By this arrangement the time is. considerably shortened.

The State Journal flings the following awful "brick" at the Sentinel: "Ever since the editor of the "Sentinel" bargained with the Frecsoilers to get their votes for tho Speakership he has shown a wonderful hatred for them. Had hesucceeded, he might now, instead of Mr. Julian, have been their candid ate theVice presidency.**f rJT'i

About $3,000 has been already subscribed in Louisville, toward the Clay monument.— It is expected that $15^000 will be raised without delay or trouble.

We place in the list of candidates the name of MICHAEL COMBS, as a candidate for State Senator, in this Senatorial District.

SCOTT CLUB.~Whatsay the young Whigs of Terre Haute and vicinity, to organizing a Scott Clufct W*k.-r* tfUcwd number who are strongly in favor of it. There are enough young men here to form one of the best and most spirited Scott Clubs in the State, just such a'club as the county of Vigo ought to have. Lett have a meeting and get up a club.

We call the attention of our Irish citizens to an article itt another column headed "Love for the Irish." 'f,,

COMPLAINS.—There ia a man residing in Terre Haute, who was so unfortunate when in Mexico as to be prostrated from his horse. He now complains because he was net put on the ticket with General Pierde." He thinks his claims for that distinction were nn exceptionable, and as he considers himself alighted, he has made up his mind not to vote for Pierce.

JOHN H. BRADLEY, Esq. ia the Whig candidate for Congress in the Indianapolis District.

Hon. £. C. CASSIA, of FLORTTU.—We believe it has been generally understood that Mr. Cabell of Florida, Would refuse to support Gen. Scott. Tho TaUahaitse Sentinel gtves an extftct from a letter recently written by him, which says: "The Whig party of my Stato have decided to maintain him, (Genera) Scott) and I wil! acgiudce in that decision. I certainly cannot support Gen. Pierce, and agree with yon as to the probable conseqotmee of the election."

The Brass Band was out on Saturday night, and performed a number of pieces. It was the common remark that the band is improving finely. These moonlight nights are glorious for practising [sic], and make music as mellow the rays of Luna herself. ~~~~~~~ A serious accident occurred at North Madison on Friday morning, by which Dr. Frazier of that place, who was, riding an unmanageable horse, was caught by a train and jammed between a car and a platform. The horse was almost instantly killed, and Dr. F. died in a short time after.

ANOTHER LIE NAILEO TO THE GOUNTEX. —The Locofoco papers in Tennessee have been slandering tie n«une of Henry Clay by stating that on his dying bed he advised his son not to vote for Scott. Gov. Brown eaid this in a speech at Columbia, on the 6th inat. Mr- Thomas Clay being called on, thus disposed of the infamous slander, The letter is dated Mansfield, near Lexington, Aug. 16th, and is addressed to General Zallicoffwat Na#tfiU8. It. concludes as follows ... •••••.•»»

M^y father never advised me not to vote for Scott and Graham for President and Vice President of the United States.

The latest item we find in some Democratic papers, is, thai Gen. Scott fainted at Lundy's Lane. It is news to us, but if hard fighting, having two horses shot under him, a wound in his side, and two balls in his breast, are any way calculated to cause a man to faint, such an incident may have happened to Gen. Scott.

At a meeting of the WhigB of Otter Creek Township, Vigo county, Indiana, August 28th, 1852, for the purpose of sending delegates to the County Convention at Terre Haute on the 4th September, W. STEVENS was called to the Chair, and D. BROWS, appointed Secretary. The meeting being called to order, the following persons were appointed, to wit:

F. Markle, E. R. Johnson, R. Briggs, D. Brown, H. Evans, T. W. Adams, W. Paddock, S. D. Gartrell, E. Gartrell, L. Watkins. On motion the following resolutions were passed:

Resolved, That we arc in favor of County Conventions when they are based upon, and reflect the express will of the people, and that we hail with joy the effort that is new being made by. our sister townships for aJtboroughurganization of the Whig pprty.

Resolved, That the Whigs of this township will cordially support, and pledge ourselves to give a larger vote for the nominees of such a Convention, in proportion to the number of our votes, than any other township ip the county of Vigo. %t fa*

Resolved, That we hail with sentiments of the highest gratification the nomination of honest Nick McCarty, for tho office of Governor of Indiana, and that we freely pledge ourselves to give a larger per cent, of our vote for his election than any other township on the Wabash.

On motion, the delegates were instructed to fill any vacancy that might occur. W. STEVENS, Chairman.

recently

paidf a visit to the Sa­

ratoga Springs, and one of his letters is devoted to the "sights" witnessed by him at the great rendezvous of fashion and folly. After asking the question "Have you been interested?" he says: "I have been, nnd It is true that however beautiful Saratoga may be In itself, however splendid may be the hotels, however brilliant may be her shows and pageants, and balls, and equipages, this study of individual life, this aggression of human celebrities, this coming in cont.-tct with high society in its multiform and widely varying elements, is the great charm of the placfe. I could study and fsketch here by the season, nor be tired of the task. I could only ehjoy the place as an outsider. To mingle in its life, to participate in its objects to follow its laws, to attend its balls and hops and parties, would be a soverer task than !a* boring in a treadmill, or even editing a daily newspaper. It is a great place, and every body and his wife and grown up children ought to come out here once, lit hard on the purse, perhaps, but you see arid get what you can't buy at the stores. You see a phase of American society nowhere else to be seen.. You see wealth, and vanity, and ptide and pretension, and beauty, and snobbery, and aristocracy, and celebrity, and hair, and three walking sticks in a row, and hogs' heads on the top of hogsheads, and sylphs, and humanity superior and humanity inferior, and, in short, humanity in general. Jt is a great place, 1 say, and the water is undoubtedly conducive to health, especially on a morning after a champagne supper, five cigars,, and a night-cap."

A practical jllusirau«n of ihe £»ocofo co party'a sympathy for thf tiuflfering poor, is fotind in the vote t»po» the bill of Relief, introduced into tlw*5United States Senaut, by Mr.Crittenden of Kentucky on the 86th of February, 1847.— It was brought forward, QS dpf! be seen by a Whig, nnd for the holyfnurpose of relieving the starving thous|naa in Scotland and Ireland, by apprcforiating the sum of $500,000 from the Treasury, for their immediate nece$ffii4«*» flaishinen! what think you was the action upon the Bill? It passed the Senate-r-only 13 voting against it and those 13 were all Jjocofocos but one.

In the House, the bill was sent to the Committee of ways and means, by a Locofoco effort hoping, since but a few days of the session were unexpired, to strangle the appropriation by inaction. But Mr. Curroll, (Whig,) moved on the 2d day of March, that the Committee be instructed to report back the bill. To this J. W. Davis of Indiana, (Locofoco,) cried "out ol order," and the Speaker, a Locofoco, sustained him. Still unintimidated by such positive opposition, Mr. Winthrop, (Whig.) moved for a suspension of the rules to allow a motion for the instruction of the Committee of Ways and Means to report back the bill. This proposition teas rejected the vote stood for the motion 45 .Whigs, and 11 Locofocos against the motion 14 Whigs, (chiefly from the South,) and 88 Locofocos. Out of one hundred Locofoco members—the majority in the house,—only eleven poled, to save starv ing Irishmen!

Irishmen, these are truths!* The votes of your enemies stand upon the journals,a recorded denial of tneir hollow professions of regard for you. A Whig brought up the bill to relieve your poor countrymen from starvation, by a generous donation of money that bill was lost, only, by the hostile-votos of men who call themselves Democrats, and friends,to the poor. Had that bill passed, one hundred thousand of your friends and relations, would have been saved the bitter pangs of hungar and the horrible endurance of starvation can you longer act with the party who denied you bread tn your time of need? who turned you away from their mercy without the least show of kindness and justice? Do not dccieve yourselves longer the so called Democratic party, are not your friends, as every vote record ed upon the relief bill shows. Long enough the party have rung: that word "democracy" in your enrs: repel the indignities you have suffered at their h^nds, by no .farther action with them be mfen to think and rend, and when tho truth is known, you will find the Whig party you staunch and truest friends.—Sandusky Com*

Wonderful Leap.

From the St. Catharines Constitutional, of the 3d inst., we copy the following extraordinary account of a leap from the Suspension bridge, into the Niagara river: "On Sunday last, at 4 P. M., we witnessed a man named J. David Constantine, leap from off the Queenston Suspension bridge into the Niagara river, a height of seventy four feet. Constantine had advertised his intention of taking the fearful leap, but it was only looked upon as a hoax consequently only three or four hundred persons were present. At the hour named, he was observed coming on the bridge, attired in a white dress, with only one attendant. When in the centre of the bridge, he called for a boat, which was at once pulled to the place he directed; he then got outside the bridge, and stood on one of the joists, and, as a voice called "Jump," with a heroic spring he was in the air. Hardly had he fallen twenty feet, ere a gust of wind caught him, and whirled him as if he were turning a summerset—he losing all control of himself, and falling in a doubled up position. This was a moment of anxiety he could not light on his feet and from every lip might be heard the exclama lion. "He's a dead man!" At length he reached the water, and truly "great was the fall thereof;" the noise, as he struck, might be heard for a mile and he sank—sank as it were to rise no more; but a few seconds brought him to the surface again, and with a strong arm struck out to swim, amid the cheers of the bystanders. He made for the boat, and with a desperate effort seized the gunwale, and was taken in, and safely landed on the other shore. He walked for some time, and then came across the bridge to Queenstown. Here we had the opportunity of examining his back; he seemed to be much hurt, the skin having been taken off in two or three places; he said he felt sore from the fall, but was satisfied he would be all right again in a couple of days. We learn this morning, that it is the Doctor's opinion that Constantine will not recover from the injuries received in his fall. ~~~~~~~

ANECDOTE OF GEN. 3COTT IN MEXICO. —The following anecdote of General Scott which has never before appeared in print, was handed to us the other day by a Whig of this place who is acquainted with the parties. One of the gentlemen is an artist of considerable ability, and a very life-like view of the battle of Chapultepec, sketched by him at the time, now adorns the walls of the American Art Union. General Scott occupies a prominent place upon the canvas, as he did in the battle—infusing energy into his men by his own daunt-less-bravery:

Some years 'il^o^irifr'i£r'',young,''*1h:ien (brothers) left the city of Albany, to seek their fortune* in the far We*v working at their respective avocations wherever they could find employment. After several months travel, they found themselves in the city of New Orleans. They soon repaired toGalvesion Texas, and in a short time tnad.e their way into the City of Mexico, where they success* fully engaged in their respective avocations, up to the time that war broke out between that country and the United States. Whereupon they were required to swear allegiance to the country and take up arms against the United States, or to leave the country within a certain number of days. Refusing to comply with terms of the Mexican authorities', the young brothers left the city and proceeded to Vera Cruz, and alter a few days travel they met the old hero General Scott. The eldest brother, James, approached the noble command-er-in-chief and told bim that he and his younger brother were American citizens nnd had been driven from the city of Mexico. The General immediately despatched an aid for two horses which were soon brought him. He then said to the young men: "Mount these horses, and I will take you back, as I am going thai way.u They mounted the horses, and on the morning of the 14th Sept.* 1847, these poor boy exiles entered the city in triumph with the Hero of three Wars, and the conquerer of Mexico.-* Neioburg GaieUe.

Tn* PitospBCT IN PENNSYLVANIA.—

The Philadelphia North American says: "The prospect for Scott and Graham in this State ia exceedingly cheering.— A correspondent, who is now on a business tour which brings him in contact with a large number of the people, and upon whose intelligence and honesty entire reliance maybe placed, writes, us under date of Lancaster, August IGth, that hi» observation and inquiries in the county of Lancaster Induce the belief that Scott will have one thousand mora votes than the people of that section

jave to General Taylor in 1848. Tay* mnjoriiy was 5,310 and the mosj? intelligent citizens, on the spot, aro Confident that Scott will receive a majority of 6 000 or 6,500. Many meet1ng»*lre to b« held in various parts of the county during the month, and the people are said to be waking up and moving with the right spirit. We are also told that Chester county may be certainly depended upon for a majority of at least 1.000 for Scow. The masses are represented to b€ pervaded with an enthusiastic desire for the election of the hero of Chippewa and Niaigara, all the talk and all the excitement running In.thayyayJ'

He knows what occupies my thoughts and cares—gathering the bones of the dead—a mother—a sister —two sons—a grand child—planting the cypress over assembled graves, and marking the spot where 1 and those who are dear to me are soon to be laid: all on the sunset side of the father of Flo3ds, the towering city of St. Louis oh one hand, the rolling stream of the Mississippi on the other and where a cemetery of large dimensions Is to be the necropotis of numbered generations.-— These are my thoughts and cares, (ind the undertaker knows them."

SAFE TF THE GLENCOE.—The safe of the steamer Glencoe, blown overboard at the time of the explosion of that boat, was recovered from the river, a few days since, The water having fallen sufficiently to expose it, a party of Irish laborers first discovered it, at the foot of Chesnut street^ and drew it on shore by means of a rope. During the process of drawing it from the waier, the party increased to nine persons, all laborers on the Levee, who were let into the secret, and promised a share of the booty, on condition that they would not mention its recovery. It was finallyugoi out nod placed on a dray, the driver of which took it to his house on Green street, followed by the other men Here they divided the money, supposed to be $2,300, mostly in silver and gold, which had belonged to the boat and pas sengera. They -were traced to the house by the police, who found on arrival they had fled. The safe was footfd there, broken open. The police then obtained horses, and started out on the Florisant roacT. They found four! of the party some miles from town, in a field, counting their money. Though there were but three policemen, they succeeded, after resistance, in arresting the four men, who were brought to the city and and confined. About $350 of the rrfoney Was found in their possession These men were reported for larceny, and a hearing of the case was postponed by the Recorder until Thursday, the 16th inst. The others have not yet been ar rested.—St. Louis News.

DISEASES OF THE SEASON— TMRFTE OF FRUITS.—There were formerly certain undefined complaints during the latter part of Summer, familiar everybody in New England, termed diseases of the season, ol which many died, and of which fruit was generally supposed to be the all-powerful cause A greater mistake was r.evcr made by an intelligent community, than to sup pose that appljes, pears, plums, peaches, berries, mellons and the like, when fully ripe, are injurious either to individuals who fall below the standard of sound health, or to the strong and robust. It is a misfortune that fruits are so dear the poorest people cannot have that of the best quality, and sometime# can have none at all. As all the laws of nature are harmonious, and one never cofllcts with another, it is very certain that fruits were wisely intended as anessen* tial part of the food of man, particularly at thib season when they are ripe. It is necessary to cxercise reason in the use of them as in every thing else.

If we eat that which is decayed or crude, it is a violation of a physiological law and co also 4s a total abstlnanc^ from them when scattered plentioualy over the land. Fruit, therefore, may be considered necessary to the maintenance of health, and its free consumption should always be cncournged.

Those who cannot obtain the good, often ravenously devour the unwholesome, from instinctive desire implained in their nature. To the abuse, and not the proper use of fruit, may be charged tho occurrence of wha^re^ilfd the diseases of the season.^. iS: ^BROWNLOW, OF TENNESSEE! have opened several Democratic papers this morning, in which the "powerful influence" of this revt?rt»nd political editor is spoken of in such maftnir as to suggest the inference^ tlrat the Whig party in that State ia to be annihilated by him. lie is a gentleman of fine taU ems and .great energy but wo would mention a fact or two that njuy. ©qt be..

RAILROAD IRON.—There is some prospect that cuses now in operation will afford to this important branch of manufacture some degree of that protection which has been so long and so unjustly withheld from it by Government. The New York Express of Saturday says:

The price of railroad iron in England has gone up from $21 to $31 per ton. This adds also under our <ad valorum> tariff $6 per ton to the duty, thus increasing the protection, when it is least essential and diminishing it when it is most needed by the hard driven manufacturers

So low has been the price of railroad iron, for three or four years past that all the works for the manufacture of it in the country have been abandoned.— Within a few weeks, one or two of the works in the United States, encouraged by the advancing prices, have commenced operations, giving employment

to a large number of workmen. Within the last three years nearly 400,000 tons of railroad iron, worth over <nineteen millions of dollars> have been imported into the United States, from England. ~~~~~~~
