Nomination for Congress.
At the solicitation of a democrat for
whose character and consistency in sup.
port of demoetatic principles, we have the
highest respect,we insert, to.day,a commu
nication on this subject. And we here
take occabn to reiterate the doubts we
expressed to him of the propriety of giving
it
ito the public. It may be-the origin of
newspaper discussion, from which we fear
no good can come to the democratic party,
and may possibly excite feelings that, if
suffered to slumber, would soon die and be
forgotten, and never be recalled to work to
the injury of our cause.
We think it, possible to arrange the
whole of our nominations, without engag
ing in a newspaper war before the meet.
ing of the Convention. The candidates
and their friends are as busy as men can
be, in canvassing for the various nomina
tions. Surely they can as well press their
pretensions by talking as by writing, and
we believe that the first named mode
of electioneering is much the best, and that
those who adopt it will be in a much bet.
ter humor with themselves, when the
whole business is finished.
Without seeking in the slightest degree
to disparage the claims of any candidate
for nomination; or to advance the preten
sions of any, we think it proper here to
express the opinion that the nomination
for Congress made last year. can not be
held over, and is not valid now. - We pre•
dicate this opinion on the belief that. the
selections of candidates last year were
made with reference to the elections of
last year only, and that a Convention call.
ed to act for 1842, cannot act for 1843
and on the fact that the committee, having
full power to act in the premises, met in
May last and ordered the nomination of a
candidate for Congress.
We still entertain a perfect confidence
that the whole matter can be satisfactorily
settledl,2lllitreettisee nothing to prevent it.

we think, considering his well kown
popularity, should have no hes:Latino, if
they wish him to be a candidate again, in
imbmitting his name, with those of others
who desire to be nominated, to the sp.
proaching convention. Again, we repeat,
that no serious difficulty can grow out of
this business. The aspirants for the con
gressional nc ruination are all too much de
voted to the eauscoof democracy—too gen-
erous and disinterested in their feelings, to
permit any dispute about the matter to put
the success of our cause in jeopardy.
Judgment of Heaven.
A French paper mentions a curious case
which has excited a lively sensation in the
dominions of the Pope:—A wealthy mer
chant of Ferrara was recently assassinated.
The assassine avowed their crime, but de
clared that they committed it at the insti
gation of a lady distinguished as well for
her beauty as her wit and cleverness. Im
probaVe as was the charge, she was tried,
found guilty and condemned to suffer death
with her two accomplices. The lady apt
pealed to the court ofßolegna. The proof
of her guilt on the first trial confined of the
testimony of four witnesses, and to all ap
pe rances the same evidence would in
duce a second condemnati,m. But' some
hours only before the opening of the court
two of these witnesses died of disease; a
third, upon his way to court, fell and was
killed. The fourth gave his testimony a..
gainst the lady as before, but . being accused
of bearing false witness, he exclaimed,—
'M ay I die this moment if I am nut telling
the truth' He had scarcely uttered the
words before he fell with a shock of ar
ptplexy, and immediately expired. The
Court at once acquitted the defendant, but
the public minister ordered the fair lady to
be detained for six months, to give oppor
tunity to produce new evidence against
her.
Milk—We observe by an advertisement
in the N. Y. Sun, that milk from the farm

The letter - of J eke Shaler resp e cting thil Dim"
()cretin nomination fir Congre.s,having been pub,
li shed for your Inft,rmatioo, kt is proper that it
should be respectfully and dispassionately consid
ered:—lt its doctrines ald tendencies , however
plausibly set forth, are found to be really anti
democratic and hostile to the free action of the
people's will, they should be set aside by the pea•
ple_who in political matters are the supreme tri
bunal—competent to reverse the decision of the
most learned judges. A preliminary remark on
the spirit in which the letter is written will nut,
however, be out of place—Judge Shaler declares
that he should be "extremely reluctant under any
circumstances to accept a nomination for Cul
gress;" while with an apparent want of courtesy
which a feverish anxiety to be nominated alone can
palliate, he, in the same sentence,imputes to "oth
ers" the very anxiety which he disclaims. In sup.
port of this ungracious imputation he offers no
proof whatever. It is a mere dictum and that not
from the bench, but from a political aspirant, and
such it will' e considered by a discerning public,
more especially as they will probably advert to the
fact that of all the candidates for the democrrtic
nomination, Mr. Shaler is the very Erst who has
taken the trouble to write an elaborate letter ou
that subject. Judge S. aesu.nes that because the
Democratic Convention of last year place4udge
Wilkins in nomination, the "faith" of the party Is
still pledged to that gentleman—or in other word■
that a nomination of Ju tge W. as a candidate at
an election to be held last October, gives him a
vested rght in the Democratic nomination at th•
election to be held next October. He further al.
legeo,in support of this n mvel doctrine, that there
has been no public action rescin iing the nomina
tion of Judge W, I should suppose that no action
were necessary to rescind that which expired last
October by its ovn limitation. Bat if any public
action or official act :were necessary to notify all
pivties that the nomination of last year was con.
sidered by the democrats as defunct, that very
thing, as I shall presently show, has taken place
by the action of the Delegates to the convention
which placed Judge Wilkins in nomination. But
even without this notice, how could a nomination
by the delegate.. of the [shay last year bind the
people or their delegates this year—either accord
ing to The usages of the party or the principles o
Democracy. How mall young men are there,
who, last par being on ter - tnty-on soul 1 not
with propriety participate in the choice of dele
gates, Lut who have since become ofaze,and hoN
many democrats may have been naturalized with
in the last twelvemnnth? Let Mr. Sha!er's opin
ion prevail,and all these are for this year in effect
disfranchised and denied a voice in the selection
of the party candidate. Again, the Democrats
who supported Judge Wilkins as a nominee for
Congress I•st year, may many of them be now in
his favour fur Governor, for which office he has
been named by his friends, and there being "no
public announcement by Jude W. hitnself,d ecli
fling the (Gaberoatorial) nomination,"the demos.
racy may consider it improper to support the same
person at the earns time for two different and dit
tinct offices—or again they may have heard in a
public announcement, that Judge W. and his par
titular friends had give it out that ho would NOT be
a candidate for Congress—and though the friend.
ofitidge %V . should again change their minds and
arricer to consider him a candidate for the Con.
gressional nomination, many democrats might feel
indisposed to join in tme game of fast and loose
with the feelings and rights of the Democratic par
ty.
For the foregoing, or various other reasons, the
party-might chang&thrir minds, without-tin ier
ehargeable with a brAch of faith.
If there bad been an election last fall,the Dem.
gamey would hive supported Judge W.. tun that
there was no election was not the:r fault, but one
of those political accidents to which the nomin t
(ion of any,candidate is liable. Suppose that by
a continued neglect of duty on the part of the lege
- —r irts,tijd of
one had elapsed without an election, would Judge
Shaler still claim for his friend Jijige Wilkins the
nomination as,p matter of right, which the p...0p1e
-must canoed ' , r suffer the imputation orbad faith ?
(the frien,ql of the Judge should be particularly
careful how they make this charge ) The prin
ciple in the two cases is precisely the same, and
when such anti-democratic docttines are openly
avowed, not by our political opponents, but by a
candiflate of the democratic party, it is time for
every Democrat to rouse from his lethargy, and
ask himself if the people's will is any longer an
ingeedient in our party principles, or if it,like the
doctrine of rotation in ofce, is to be totally di!..
regarded. Let such doctrines be established now,
and let the validity of such claims be acknowl.
edged, and ere long the democrats of Allegheny
will be asked to adopt all the servile doctrines of
the Rotten Ibroligh Systems of England—where
public offices and even seats in puliainnt, have
for generations been demanded and obtained for a
particular family whose claims were based on
their ancestry, “their country and knowledge of
legislative forms & the elevated stations that they
filled, and which are so well calculated to inspire
confidence and command reenact." This state
ment Is in the very words ofJusige Shaler, while
claiming the nomination of his friend Wilkins.—
Admllt the binding force ofsuch reasoning now,
and we may expeet,notwithstanding the theory of
our Government, that the practical working of
our System, at least in Allegheny county, will be
this: once an office-holder and always an office
holder. If this be a Republican sentiment what
has become of the opposite maxim, the demcerat
ic principle of rotation of office? Have you repud is
itlellocodemocrats, or doyoit consider it an
oWlete idea—or believe that it signifies the rota.
tion of one man or one set of men nut of one of
fice into another: If tho habit of holding offices
until it has become a second nature is a valid
claim on your suffrages, and no one is to be selec

ment, then indeed is the Democratic nomination
more "ball at the loot" of political leaders or in.
vetevate officeholders, and they must play the
game "very badly if they do not" hole the ball for
any candidate rhey may select.
As to the assertion so Formally made by Judge
Shaler, that there has been no public action rescin
ding the nomination ofJudge Wilkins, it is es
shown a mere piece of surplusage having nothing
to du with the question of this year's nomination.
But it by it the Judge would have it understood
that there has been no public action which juati.
flea the selection of another Democratic Candi. I
detain 1843, it is a palpable and surprising error;
the whole body of delegates to the convention of
lest year, the very men who then placed Judge W.
in nomination, were called together on the 26:h of
May, 1843, and in their capacity as corresponding
committee of the democratic party, they,after free
and full deliberation, issued a ca'l from which the
fallowing is an extract:
"Resolved, That the Democratic voters of Alle
gheny comity are requested to meet in their sere
eralelection districts at their usual places ofmeet
ing, on Saturday, the 26th day of August, and e
lect two delegates in each, to meet in County
Convention at the new Court House, on the sue
ceeding Wednesdajf (30th of August) at 11 o'clock
A.M., for the purpose of nominat.ng
Cne person' for Congress.
Four persons for Assembly,
One person for Sheriff. kc."
Is not this a public action; is it not an official
act of the representatives of the party?—and with
it staring ns in the false does .tot even the techni-
cal argument on which the anti-democratic influ
ences contained in Judge Shaler's letter depend ,
fall to the ground?
