County Convention.

Mr. Editor—I noticed in your paper some two weeks since, an article in which you suggested the propriety of the whigs of Vigo, calling a convention for the purpose of selecting the moat suitable persons as their candidates lor Ihe Legislature, and such other offices as they may then deem advisable. The necessity of a convention at thia time, is more appnrent from the fact that the coming August election is one fraught with tho deepest interest to the whigs as a party. The Representatives now to be elected, are to vote in their official capacity for a UNITED STATES SENATOR they are to be the exponents ol the whigs of the State of Indiana, to say who shall represent them for the next six years in the Senate of this Union. Another strong reason for calling convention, and for calling it soon, is that as the coming election immediately precedes the Presidential campaign. it is necessary that the whigs should poll their entire strength, in order that it may inspire more zeal, and enable us to tell with more certainly the late of our Electoral Ticket. We ull, as

whig*, in harmony and union, should now begin to buckle on our armor and in solid phalanx march to lmttle that policy which has in Ihe last four years bankrupted the treasury of Ihe nation— stopped the internal improvements of the whole •ountry, and fattened the soil of a neighboring republic with the blood of some of our best citizens. We should begin lo act—each man feeling as though the destiny of the principles which he believes to be right, depends upon his own indiviJunl vole. Well concerted action will insure to us triumphant succcss but if we rely too much upon the palpable soundness of our doctrines, again wo may see imbecility assuming the authority of nn Emperor, 6cated in the White House at Washington.

I would suggest Saturday, the 20th inst., as suitable time for the whigs of each township to hold township meetings and the Saturday succeeding, as the proper time to hold the COUNTY CONVENTION.

Let each township send 6 or 8 delegates to attend the county convention, where a free interchange of leolingand opinion may be had, and the best means adopted to more fully bring out the whig strencth of old Vico.

Let us be up and doing—what say you Mr. Editor! X.

Sews from Mexico."'

Departure qf Messrs. Sevier and Clifford— The Chtrrillas—A Visit to Santa Anna at Antigua—His Appearance—Reception of our Officers—Senora Santa Anna—

The Prospects of Peace, The New Orleans papers contain advices from Vera Cruz to tbe 9th inst., and from the Capital to tbe 5ih. Sansa Anna bad sailed for Jamaica. Mr. Clifford, one of the commissioners to Mexico, left for tbe Capital on the 2d, escorted by the Louisiana Mounted Volunteers. Mr. Sevier, bis colleague, started on the 8ih, and was escorted by Capt. Tilghman's Light Artillery, 60 strong.

Gen. Scott was not expected lo leave Mexico for several days. Tbe prospects of peace are less flattering.

Paredes appears to meet with little success in bis revolutionary movement near San Luis. He has been arrested by order of the Supreme Government, and no doubt tried for bis treasoneble conduct. Gen. Alvarez, it is mid, is getting up a pronunciamento in the South, notwithstanding his previous public protestations of adbesioa to tbe Supreme Government.

Capt. Miller, bearer of despatches for Washington, arrived at Vera Crux on the 5th. He reports the road between the city of Mexico and Jalapa as invested with small bands of armed robbers, masked, who were daily committing depredations on those who were compelled to travel between the two cities. The road between the city of Mexico and Toluca is represented to be infested in like manner.

The Monitor, a paper published in the city of Mexico, says that fifteen Deputies and three Senators are yet tvanting to form quorum, and the opinion varies as to the probable fale of the treaty.

Gen. Kearney had been installed as Governor of the State of Vera Cruz. On the 30th ult.. a train of Mexican merchandise was attacked and plundered by an armed band of Mexican robbers, near the Paso del Bobo. Intelligence of this fact was shortly after communicated to Governor Hughes, who ordered out a detachment of Col. Hays1 Rangers in pursuit of the robbers. The detachment, which was commanded by Capt. Daggett, followed on the train of the villains unerringly, and came up with them as they tvere entering the village of Despoblade. Only one of the banditti escaped. Of the fourteen scoundrels who had plundered the train, thirteen were made prisoners and shot, with the warm concurrence of the Alcalde and the well disposed inhabitantsof the town. Part of the plundered property was recovered.

The Vera Cruz correspondence of the Delta gives the following account of a visit he paid to Santa Anna, on the 2d instant, at Antigua:

Information was received here on Saturday, the 1st inst., that Gen. Santa Anna had arrived that day with his lady and daughter, at his hacienda at Antigua, 26 miles from here, escorted by Capt. Tilghman, (of the Light Artillery, District of Columbia and Maryland Rpgiment,) with fifty men, and Santa Anna's Lancers, numbering 100. At ten o'clock yesterday, your humble servant, with three others, proceeded to pay our respects, fcc. After riding at a fast pace for two hours, we arrived at the river Antigua, at which place we entered a narrow path and continued our path through the chapparrel until we arrived at a small village, and were informed the one opposite was Antigua. We then swam our horses over the river, and rode to the only brick house in the place, and found, on our entrance, the Senora Santa Anna smoking a cioar-

ly and simply dressed in figured muslin, with very short sleeves. She wore no ornaments of any kind except a very small watch and a costly chain. She is very handsome, of a light complexion, and evidently not more than 20 years of age. The General, being at the time in bed, could not be disturbed. So we had to remain until 4 o'clock, the hour appointed for his appearance.

As we had lo wait an hour, we enjoyed the interim by walking through the villaoe. Not a house but was filler! with Guerrilleros, and all armed with swords, shaped like a carving knife. On our return the General was up and dressed he received us with much courtesy, and said he received more kindness and attention, from the Americans in adversity, than from his own countrymen. He was dressed in a brown linen frock coat, white pants, vest, and neck-cloth, and a pair of polished boots—the one on the cork-leg was a tight fit. Capt. Tilghman read the article in the Delta, (which I carried along) of the revolution in PariR, which was immediately translated by a Lieutenant present. The General merely shook his head, and made no comments. He is very anxious to leave the country, and inquired if we had observed a brig at the mouth of the river which is to take him to Jamaica. Being answered in the negative, he presented us his gold snuff-box. We helped ourselves, shook hands with him nnd his lady, at the same time presented her a bouquet, wishing them a pleasant passage, &c., we mounted to return home.

An American Brigade for Ireland. At the meeting nf the friends of Ireland, at the Shakespeare Hotel, New York, on Monday evening, the 10th, it was stated by Mr. T. O'CONNOR, Esq, that over one hundred names had already been reported to form an Irish-American brigade to be ready at any hour to take part in the deliverance of Ireland.

He urged the immediate enrollment of name® witlinat waiting for the proposed convention of Irishmen in Albany in July. Resolutions were adopted for the formation of a regiment of 1,000 men, to be equipped by voluntary contributions the appointment of a Board of five Trnstees, with a standing fund of $1000 to meet any sudden emergency and the establishment of an Armory for the reception of military supplies. It was also proposed that the command of such regiment, when raised, should be tendered to Gen. Shields. If these measures are pursued, it will probably lead to a protest from the British government. In the course of the evening a number of the French Republicans came in procession with the band, and sang the Marseillaise in the stree*. before tbe hotel.

The Court house of Bracken county, Ky., was destroyed by fire on Thursday morninjr last. The Sons of Tcmperance and a Masonic Lodge, who had rooms in the building lost all their furniture, regalia. fcc.

It made its appearance 6y pain and swelling of the joints— more especially of my ancles, knees, wrists and elbows alter which the glands of my throat and neck became inflamed and iwelied, attended with im«t excruciating pains. 1 was often confined entirely to my bed, and for weeks together ronld not move my neck or turn my head. Several physicians attended nie at different times—but ihey did not appear to do me any good.

About a year ago I was attacked with vomiting, which continued every tew minutes all one nlshl. The next day an eruption appeared on the sides of my neck, which soon spread all over my neck, head and face, with inflammation of my eyes aud eyelids, which destroyed my eye-lashes and caused the hair to fall from ofT my head, and soon the disease spread all over me my limbs were ono entire scab. 1 could not bend iny hands or arms without causing the skin to crack open, when the blood would run out. Sohieof my flnrer nails came off. In short, I was unable lo set inv own living, and in this condition I called upon t)r. JAYNK, in order that he might undertake my case, lie directed me to take his ALTERATIVE three limes aday. and his SANATIVE PILLS as often as I should find it necessary. I have now taken his ALTERATIVE four months, and am most happy to say that it has entirely cured me.
