-The speech and vote of Mr. Conrad on '
that occasion created a deep and abiding
disgust in the whole mass of the democra-,
cy, and in many patriotic whigs, who par..'
deipated in the glorious campaign of 1814
—45. Still the whig leaders held on to
go principles advocated by those mis
guided and urrforunate members of Con.,
gre-alrom Louisiana, and supported them
j their opposition to the feelings of the
people. In the first district, the whole
rgreelarthe whig party, all their influence,
ind all their resources, were devoted tc)
the election of a candidate who was known
to be'a personal friend of Mr. Conrad, and
a zealous advocate of his strange conduct
towards General Jackson. That Candidate
is a man of honorable deportment, amiable
spanners, and great popularity. He was
broken down by his allies: he was defeated
by the question: he could not stand up be
fore) the people and expect their votes,
!Wig he avowed his approbation of the
*Gums of Mr. Conrad in the United States
Senate.
It is useless for the Bee, after the elec.
tion, to allege that the whigs were in a
state of apathy and asleep in fake security.
No party was (Nei more vigilant and anx
ious during the two months preceding the
'first Monday of the present month than
they were. They were roused and exci
ted by frequent meeti igA, in which all the
eloquence of their orators was exhausted.
The Bee and :he other whig pleases
teemed with invectives against Mr. Slidell,
some of x•hich must be admittA to have
been compos-d with skill arid ability; al
though there were others which recoiled
upon themselves, in consequence of being
overcharged with rudeness and ribaldry.
There is 02 mistake I:1 all this. N- ver
was party mite active au•l e atel,ful than
the whigs on the late ociia6 in. A few days
before the ele tion, the 8.-e declare t, and
no doubt truly that no clock within the city
of New Otleans sounded tlie half hour
throughout the day and night, but it struck
upon the ear td son whi s t, awake and
watching for the gond of his party. Alas!
all tbiiractivity —all this watchfulness—all
this ,industry—all this eloquence—and all
this superior talent at speaking and writing,
bays availed nothing! The prostration of
the banks, and the explosion of the paper
system, had, it is ttue, deprived this once
powerful party of its usual command over
the sinews of war; but yet it was not with.
out abundant pecuniary res•iurces to aid
.its exertions. Contributions were levied
upon all who were able and willing to
tluowin a mite. The Clay club, compri•
sing all the wealth and talent of 'he party,
lavished its funds on a cause the members,
doubtless, thought it a point of duty and
honor to support. But all in vain! The
OL I) LION was in the field; as the Tropic
very appropriately announced the fact; and
the • iNlemies of Democracy fled at the
souud of his voice.
rattiity.—We can tell a fish story twice
as big as our correspondent E. M.'s fly sto
ry. In the winter, on the northern lakes,
great quantities of trout are cought by cut
ting holes through the ice and letting down
lines. When drawn out and thrown upon
the ice, they soon "lose all consciousness"
and are frozen stiff. They may then be
carried fur any distance in that state, and
then if placed in water, they will revive
and swim again. So says aft iehd of ours
who on a recent trouting excursion to the
squrces of the El udson,heard the testimony
of sundry witnesses to this troutological
fact.: J our. of Col).

But She fiih story, thotub it mly be true,is
not so familiar as the other, and the idea of
being thus frozen up and thawed out again,
without detriment, is, a' this season of the
year, a refreshing sort of contemplation.—
If on• were a fish now—a little speckled
troutling—how charming it would he thus

mowed away in a cool cellar until the sum

DAILY MORNING POST.
fll9. md. A. 6mITit,IDITOR.I4ICD PROPRIICTORS
By a correspondence between a number
of democrats and the Hon. Charles Shad
ler, it will be seen that lie is r,f opinion
that the nomination for Congress made by
the Convention of last year, is valid and
binding during the present canvass, if
Judge Wilkins. the nominee, desires to be
a candidate at the approaching election.—
Mr. Shaler says that no nieans have been
taken to ascertain Judge Wilkins's feel=
ings and wishes on this subject, and no
public notice of his declining the nomina
tion has been given to the party; and, he
adds, that until such publication is made
he (Mr. S.) could not consent to have his
name used*as a candidate for nomination.
It is a fortunate , eircem tance that this
question is now likely to be acted on, in
an acthoritative and conclusive manner,
and the various surmises and speculations
about what is to be done in the business,
put to rest. From some cause or ether,
which they tho't good,the County Commit
tee, which, as is known, is composed of the
whole convention of last year, at their
meeting in June last, inclu led Congress,
in the list of offices for whic'i candidates
are to be chosen at the convention to be
held next month. Whether they took any
steps to ascertain the views of the nominee ,
of last year bn the subject—or whether
they acted without consulting him, we are
nut able to te'l. Their action, however,
was supposed by many to be final and au
thoritative, aid the trieods of several gen
tlemen, unde; 4 i the honest impression that
the co nmittets had fitzt. power to act in the
business, bright thr claims of their fa
vorites before t
the arty for its considerae
tion: We know mit how far these gen
,
I tlemen and their frtends agree with the
opinions of Judge Bbiler—nor are we in
formed whether judge Wilkins desires to
be a candichte• If he ddel, and the other
candidates agree witb Ms. Shaler, no diffis
culty, we presume, can occur. If he does
not, there is an enl to the discussion. In
either case the matter can be adjusted, to
the satisfaction of all, and so as to ensure
the success of the party
We cannot conclude this article without
noticing with warm approval, the disinter.
eated and generous terms in which Mr.
Shaler expresses himself in regard to this
nomination. Such devotion to principle
can never fail to call forth the most ardent
admiration of all true (loin )crats. The
services and the patriotism of Mr. S. will
not be forgotten by them.
O - I°A writer in the Advocate charges
that there is an understanding between the
Democrats and Antiroasons to cause a dis
union in the federal ranks for thn purpose
of aiding the Democrats to elect their tick.
et. Thus is a new plot divulged, and the
writer who discovered it should be reward•
ed with something handsome fit his
smartness. But a week since the Anticria•
sons denounced the Democrats for collu
sion with Con Whi , ,N, and now the Whigs
denounce us rot conspiring with the blue
noses. It is not necessary for ti , 3 to say
there is no truth in either charge. Demo—
crats can have no political fellowship or
understanding with either Whigs or blue
noses, and feeling sure that we can beat
their combined forces without using any
extraoidinary efforts, it is not probable that
any Democrat would for a moment think
of forming a counectiln with any of the
federal factions.
The truth is our opponents know as well
as we do, that their strength is gone
in Allegheny county. The shrewd old
lenders of the party have watched with
yin the "growing weakness" cf their for
ces, and they have :nade several desperate
efforts to get up some fresh humbug that
would serve to keep their party from fall.
ing to pieces. But all would not do; eves
ry new of to recruit but made the
downward tendency of their cause more
apparent, and it is supposed by many that
as a last desperate stroke to conceal their
weakness, the leaders decided to get up an
apparent division in their party, and then
when both factions would be routed by the
Democrats in October, they could palliate
the disgrace by saying that their defeat was
caused by disunion in their ranks! In the
course of a year they think they will be
able to recruit their forces to try the Dem
acrats in a fair contest, and then the most
perfect union and harmony will exist
among them. Craig and . Brackenridge
will 'kiss aed make friends, and enjoy as!
hearty a giggle as their vinegar natures wil
allow over their sham fight of 1843, and
the many means they used to make their
respective followers believe they were
really opposed to each other. The edi—
tors of the Gazette ani Advocate will for.
get all their former quarrels, and the up-

For our 'part, we are not convinced that
such is really the case, but every one who
is acquainted with the tricky character of
the leading blue noses of this county, will
admit that it is plausible, and just such , a
scheme to cheat the people as would be
consis'eot with their code of principle,.—
It might save them, with some, the dis.
grace of a total rout, and: nobody knows
what new humbug might come round in
the course of a )ear by which they could
be invigorated. Time will show whether
this suspicion is correct or not, but of one
thing we can assure the public, that it is
more propable than that the Democrats
have any political arrangements with either

Gexerntmen:—l received your very gratifying
letter this morning, and proceed to reply to it by
the same spirit of candour which it is dietated.
I should be extremely reluctant, under any cit.
cumstances, to accept a nomination for Congress,
as much sa indeed as many others are anxious 'or
the nomination. Bat, should my fellow-citizens,
after a du: consideration of all circumstances
think proper to place my name on the ticket, I
shall censider it a duty I owe the Denoooritic
party to stand the canvass. Teere is at present
one liffteelty in the way of a new norninatinn,that
does cot seem to have occurred to my friends t and
indeed has not been adverted to by the public at
large; it is this, the &legation of the last year
with great unanimity placed Judge Wilkins be•
fore the public as the Congressional candidate;the
omission ofthe legislature to create congressional
districts, during the cession oflBo, prevented an
election from taking place last October, the usual
period for the Congressional election. Had it
not been for this dereliction of duty on the part of
the legislature, Judge Wilkins, the regular 'mini.
nee of the party would have received the Demo
creek support, and unt:oubtedly would have been
our representative elect. Judge Wilkins' nomi
nation is yet before the people, and there has been
n•. public action retinding, the proceedings of the
last year's conventim, and no public announce
ment by Judge \% ilkins himself declining the no
mination. So far as I have hcard,lie has n.‘t been
called upon by any authorised persons to say
whether he has changed his views on the subject
or not; nor am I aw ire urea why nrincip!e,con•
sistent with the usages of the party, his comities
tion can be set aside by the delegates about to at
e:amble and a new nomination ba made. I can
shier Judge 'Wilkins, thereforenhe nominee of the
party for Congress, and until he declines in some
public and authentic shape I cretin consent that
my natty: should bi used, when the tendency must
be to create conflaion and 71olate the faith of the
party already pled;ed,by a fair expression of pub.
lie sentivient through Its delegates, In Judge Wil
kins Should Chit gmtleinan decline being con
gidered as a cin lidate, my name is in the hand
of my friends to make stv.li use of it as they may
deem prone-. But I tru4 that at a period like
this, wtien we are in want of a man of firmness.

‘Vilkins will not de-:line being a candidate.—
Whatever may ha his determination, however, we
require nn our part union and harm any; it is b-t
-ter. ifwe shou'd he &icor] to a new selection, to
take a candidate of inrerior ability who will unite
us, than one of higher pretensions whose selec
tion might paralyze our riff etts. The ball is now
at our foot anal we must pis) , the game very bad
ly if,in the pr e sent (lidded state of our opponents,
we cannot boat them. As fur myself I want to
see the party triumphant. I have no claim to re
muneration for my perm services; they have al
ways been cheerfully given, and I shall continue
to award them cheerfully, whoever the candidate
may be. Let Us lay aside all persisnal regards and
antipathies, and look for the gond of the whole.—
Whoever [nay be selected let us give the candidate
a frank and hearty supeort; let harmony be our
watchword, and if we cannut triumph in the con
gressional contest over Use individuals that head
the whig and antirnasonic tickets, even with the
most insignificant men in our ranks, it is time for
us to cut loose the cable and abandon the political

A True Story.—The following is told
in an eastern paper for truth. It does not
sound like it:
A few Sundays since, in the town of
H—, in the western part of Massachua
setts, a minister who, to the shame of the
church be it said, was suspected on good
evidence of indulging in convivial enter
tainments with a chosen set, read the
hymn, and sat down as usual while it was
being sung. Whether unmindful of his
sacred functions, or overladen with pota
tions deep, did not appear from the infor
mation given, but it so happened that
while the choir was engaged in the devo
tions, the sleepy god Morpheus took full
possession of his senses.
The singing was at length finished, and
the congregation waited for the good word,
but none came. As soon as the deacons'
observed the sad catastrophe, one of 'hem,
turned to the parson, and with audible
voice said to him—lt is out,' meaning the
hymn. 'ls it,' said the parson, half Iva
king—'well, fill it op again, and charge it
to Jim Haines.'
For the M..r.fier
Messrs Editors;—As the time is at hand
when the pi unary rnet:tings f r selecting
delegareF t., meet in Convention, Bud nom
inate candidates for pottlit office, will b e
held, 'we the people' shou'd carefully eon•
cider how we can best fulfil our duty to our
country, that iP, to ourselves, on the owe
sin".
If we wish to have men selected to obey
our wishes and subserve our interests, in
must put forth our views on matters of
public polity, by resolution or otherwise,
and exact written pledges from the midi,.
dates, ere we give to them our suffrages.
By such proceeding there can be no pretest
of misunderstanding urged by those entrails
ted with the law making power for the es.
suing year, and the honest servant of the
public, while obeying his instructions, can
feel assured he merits the confidence in him
reposed. Workingmen, by attending the
primary moetings, can, by adopting this
course, have their friends nominated, and
their principles or interests sustained more
efficiently, than by separate organization.
Whatever advances the interests of the
working classes, hut developes the demo&
eratir principle of justice, equal and exact
ly administered to all parties.
