County Convention. Cur friends will bear it in mind, that this is the - , day„fixed upon for the meeting of the Convention that is to select Delegates to the 4th of March Convention. We_hope that every one chosen at the primary meetings will be at his post. The , hour of meeting is 11 o'clock, A. M. The Young Whigs. article, of yesterday, on the subject of theindigncition meeting, held on Saturday night, * , -vreveferred incidentally, to a possibility of one of ;.:the young gentlemen being a candidate for Con - gress,'at a future day. This statement was made ''ort the strength of the report of the proceedings in a Whig paper; and we therefore supposed it was correct. We have, however, received a note, from tbe gentleman who was the author of the resolution given by us; and who we thought might •• be koLing towards the seat of government; in which he disavoivs having made any allusion of the kind. Here it is, without any date—though we 'oppose it was written on yesterday : "To the . editor of the Morning Post. "My attention has been called to a misstate anent, in the course of some remarks made in re ference to myself, in your paper of this morning. You were misinformed by the person who stated that I made any allusion, even indirect, to my be ing in Congress at some future day. I bad no such idea, and expressed none such. "Yours, "J. KNOX." We did not mention the name of Mr. Kset in our article at all; but quoted extracts 'from the proceedings; upon which we commented, without - using the name of any speaker or mover of a reso tion. We will, however, now give that part of the `'.Whig report of those proceedings, from which we took the idea that one of the gentlemen might be wishing to take Mr. Mateyo:es place in the House of. Representatives. The reporter of the proceed. ings, in giving a synapsis of the speeches made on the occasion, gives the following as a part of one of the speeches:— "It he (Mr Knox) were in Congress, he would • Vote supplies of men and money to carry on ipe war—be would encourage and reward our gallant . armies now in Mexico; and when they returned he would receive them with open arms. He would riot desert his countrymen in foreign lands—yet all this would not prevent him, at the same time, from denouncing the war as unconstitutionally and 'unnecessarily begun by the President of the Uni ' ted States." Now there may have been no idea, in the mind of Mr. Knox, of a possibility that be would ever , be in Congress; we do not mean to say that there was ;—but we were reminded very forcibly of a certain member of a militia company, who, on the event of anew captain being about to bn cho ien, addressed his companions in arms as follows: "Fellow Soldiers:—You are about to elect a captain. Now a captain ought to be a man who is brave ;, and who knows how to drill a company; and who would lead his men to glory at the can -non's mouth. "Fellow Soldiers—l am a man that is brave. I 'know how to march a comapny ; and rd go with . you any where. I'm not afraid : so you bad better elect me captain !". Retail of Ilie Volunteers. _The great desire on the part of our brave Vol. 'unteers in Mexico to.return to their homes (es. pe:ially since they are not participating in the active duties of the field,) has led to the ma itig of many inquiries, from different quarters, respect. ing the manner in which they will probably be disposed ot. - The following letter from Senator Cam/um, to Capt. PorrrEa, will give all the in. Iformatioti that is at present to be had on the subject .Dr..se.. SIR .:—There is a general wish here that :the remnan:s of our volunteer regiments should `l2e 'recalled,—but the Government has not yet made any decision. My off n opinion is, that they -will ,be recalled; for I do not think they can be .rendered effective by recruits. Yours, truly, SIMON CAMERON. CAY.T. PuRTEII. Sail Road Meeting. The citizens of Beaver county held a meeting. ; at the Court House, in Beaver, on the sth inetant at which they passed resolutions in favor of a con nect* with the Central Rail Road of this State , and recommending a point at or near the mouth of the Big Beaver river, as the most desirable one at which to form a connexion. Dr. Joseph Pul- Jock, T. Reno and Samuel Moorhead, Esqs., were appointed a committee to draft a memorial to be -signed by the citizens and submitted to our State IX e egislature on the subject. Dates have been received from this port to the 21st of December, at which time there were about .thir:y sail of vessels in port. Business was dull, :and American produce very low.

Finances of the Stole .4Vew York—The annual report ol- the controller of the State of New York shows the finances of the State to be in a very prosperous condition; the public debt is steadily and rapidly - diminishing =and the'revenues of the government from its publie-_yrorks, are increasing so rapidly that the extiwruiithment . or the State debt at the time stipulated by the new conatitntion, will l be easily accomplished. The cost of the' public works to the State, up to December Ist, 1847, was $30,987,336; and the gross income from tolls, fort the year ending September 30, 1847, was $3,581,- 771. 'I he expenses of repairs, &c., for the year, was $643,766, leaving a net income of $2,888,005, against $2,110,106 in 1846, and $2,006,453 in 1843. The loans of the State to railroad com pan ies amount to $5,225,700, of which $3,665.700 has come upon the treasury, leaving $1,563,000 which the companies to NA hich the loans were made have protected and provided for. The $3,- 605,700 has been added to the cost of the public works of the State, swelling the amount to $34,- 653,035. The aggregate indebtr dness of the State,l an the 30th day of November, 1846, Was $22,.! 879,400. In 1843, the State debt amounted to $2B, 713,032 92. The controller has gone pretty exten sively into the banks, both the safety fund and the free banking system. g. The report shows that the losses by the safety . _ _ _ kind banics have been $5,726.926, of which the creditors and bill holden have lost $2,577,926 67, and the stock holders 3,150.000. - The free banks have been equally unfortunate. Thirty have been closed by the controller, and there are six ,more 4, u.hich will soon be put in a state of liquidation, making an average of (our per annum, since the law went into operation. The nominal value of' the securities of the thirty banks closed by the ,controller, was $1,581,747, and the amount reali• 'zed trotn their sale 971,003, being a loss of. $610, : 143. The amount of the circulation of the eighty eight free banks "of the State, un the Ist of De cember, 1847, was $10.366,544, to secure which the controller held stacks, at their par value, to the amount of $11,100,251, and which are worth in the market, at present prices, 9,276,573. It will be seen by the above, that the depreciation at the present market price, amounts to nearly two millions of dollars, leaving an annual deficiency in the securities, compared with the amount of bills in circulation, of $1,069,981, equal to about one tenth of the aggregate.
