You must inferior° and save this tritire-slor i - - AVe tell you, both arc threatened. Wo say this advisedly. No human constancy can long withstand the tortur ing cruelty O'Brion suffers.—No strength can triumph over the privations O'Brien endures. If Gltvill not be accomplices in the murde i r which is designed ; if you would not have O'Brien's blood red in judgement on your souls—we say to you, interfere. Denounce this iniquity. Terminate this dread agony. Expostulate with this cruel, malignant assassin government.— Save this man from death, or worse than death, The tidings have produced a profound impression in I)nblin. They have exci ted intense indignation. A committee is being formed, amen atilt parties ; and, if we. have not mistaken Irish hearts, there will be a denunciation that shall ring through the land like a judgement peal-- a remonstrance whichlt will not be pru dent for any governtnent to despise, or safe for any government to diso bey. We hear, indeed, that Queen Victoria comes to Ireland again this summer— comes for the ovation that monarchs love from petted slaves. Rut we warn her and her ministers, that as surely as she sets her foot on Irish soil, while O'Brien is thus tortured and deg raded, so surely, wherever she turns, s hall t his name be thundered in her ears, as a malediction— so surely shall his blood be flouted in her face. 'This promise we will see fulfilled. THE ALPINE TUNNEL To give an idea of the nature of the great seven mile tunnel through the Alps, we we enabled to inform our readers, from descriptions given in English jour nals, that in.its progress the tunnel must pass under some of the most elevated crests of Mount Cenis—one, in particular, where there will be 117450 feet of mountain, capped with eternal glac;iers, over bead, at the middle of the tunnel ; so that not only will the workmen and machinery in construction, and the passengers and trains in transit, be buried to that depth in . the heart of the mountain, but all idea of sha!ts, either to facilitate excavation, or to proniote ventilation, must be out of the question. The breath of life itself must be respired, from either extremity, with artificial aid, in the shripeif currents of fresh air transmitted, and of •foul with drawn, by mechanical appantitus ever at work, at least during excavation ; which is also itself to be effected by machinery of a new and simple nature, worked by water power of mountain streams, where by the trains are also to be run through the tunnel, which ascends, from the nor ' thern.cw Savoy side, at Modane, all the ' to. ita_c_in._tiLliariltump.tho, with a , gradient equal to 19 in 1000. The ma- 1 chine, once presented to the rock, projects into it simultaneously four horizontal se-1 4 ries of sixteen scalpels, working back wards and forwards by means of springs cased in, and put in motion by the same water power. While these are at work, one vertical series on each side works si multaneously up and down, so that togs. I dler they cut four blocks, or rather insti -1 late . four blocks on all sides, except on the rock behind, from which they arc after wards detached by hand. It has been al ready ascertained that each of the two ma chines, at the opposite side of the tunnel, will excavate to the extent of twenty-two feet a'day,'and it is estimated that the whole excavation will be completed in four years. The gallery to, be perforated by the machines will be thirteen feet wide by seven feet high, and this once cut through the bore will be enlarged by ordinary means to twenty-live feet in width and nineteen feet in height, and a double line of rails laid. The estimated cost of this great' tunnel is cnly 13,804,04'3f 'or about $2,700,000. It is to . be immediately com menced at tlfa north entrance.

' CM The annual convention of delegates e lected by the Whigs ofthe various districts of din State of Pennsylvania, assembled yesterday morning in the upper saloon of the Chinese Museum building. The attend ance was large and the best feeling appear ed to prevail.. At 14 o'clock, Gen. E. C. Wilson, of VenangO county, called the convention to order, and upon his motion,Jlavid Leech, Esq., of Armstrong county, was called to the chair as temporary President. C. 0. Loomis,ofAllegheny,was thcu,on motion, appointed Secretary, but he de clined. IC 1 Johnston, of Cambria comity, was then, on motion appointed Seeman., and Anthony S. Ely, of Lebanon, Assistant Secretary. On motion, the Secretaries then proceed ed to call the roll of delegates. A motion offered by J. J. Clyde o rp n p_ phin, to refuse seats to substitutes for dele gates, unless they reside in the districts they represent, elicited considerable debate. An amendment was ofThred by C. 0. Loo mis, that the resolution should only apply to districts %% ho had not any representa tives present. On this point a most inter esting discussion took place, in which Gen Wilson, of Venango, C. 0. Loomis, of AI. Icglienv, Bausfwm, of NVashington, F. Carey, of Mercer, and oil e rs anticipa te,l, and some animated si.ceelies were de. livered. At length, on motion of .1. 8. Jr,l ois t on , of the consideration of the motton and amendment was postponed, ayes 67, noes not counted. On motion of the same gentleman, all the delegates regularly appointed at dis trict meetings, or residing in the several districts, were then admitted. A motion of C. 0. Loomis, previously made and laid on the table, to appoint committee consisting of one from each Senatorial district, to nominate officers for the convention, was taken up. An amend ment was then offered and accepted, that the delegates from each Senatorial district nominate their member of the committee. Another was also offered and accepted, that each district have as many members as it is entitled to State Senators. The mo tion was then agreed to. On motion, the convention then took a brief recess, to give the members an op portunity to select the committee. Upon the convention being called to or der, the Secretary announced the com mittee. The President then read the following communication: 21) the delegates to the Whig State Con- 2•r•ntioll— GENTLEMEN—Thu Whigs of the city of Philadelphia, through tho Committee of Superintendence, desirous to express their appreciation of the honor which has been dune them by thcconventien being called to moot in this city, n Wed as with a view to promote that li.illowship which should ever exist among brethren of the same "political faith,"' have instructed me to tender you the hospitality of the " Whigs of Philadelphia," by a dinner in the upper Saloon of the Chinese Museum Building, to take place this evening, at Tp'clock, and to respectfully ask your acceptance to the same.

The President elect was then conducted to the chair, and in a short address, replete with good sense arid genuine hearty Whig sentiments, returned his thanks for the high honor conferred upon him. He said that he felt gratified attire honor conferred upon him, and hoped that the Convention would be characterized by a harmony which would redound to the'henor of the Whig partyand the advantage efthe.State. At the conclusion 'of dies° remarks they wore greeted by loud applause.

The Whigs of Pennsylvania have watched with deep in terest the course of the State and Na tional .10rninitratiens, conducted, as they have been, under usual embarressments— and the result is, that they aro proudly content with both. 2. Resolved. That to William F. Johnson, Governor of Pennsylvania, their gratitude is especially due, for his noble conduct, his steady fidelity to his friends, and his party, to the interests of the great Slate he represents, to her relations to the Union and . the Constitution, to her well settled and unwavering loyalty, and old fashioned opinions on subjects of domes tic policy, formed during the revolution, and never for one moment abandoned, from that day of trial to this. 3. Resolved. That our thanks are particularly due to Governor Johnson for arresting One measure of dangerous rind unconstituthinal legislation, the first Ap portionment Bill of the late session of the Legislature, and thus forcing an unscru pulou: majority m recognize the obliga tions of the Constitution, which arc equally bound to sustain, and whose fun damental principle grossly violated by that bill, is fair and equal representation, and no disfranchisement for opinion's sake. 3. Resolved, That to Governor John son, gratitude is due fur his anxious de sire, manifested in every word and act of his ()Meal life, to maintain the public cred it of the State, and enforce, by the accu mulation of it sinking fund, the certain and gradual reduction of the public debt and the public burthens, so as to release the energies of Pennsylvania front the weight she has so long and so patiently borne, and give her new capacity to im prove every portion of her soil, complete her unfinished improvements, and give to every county of I the Commonwealth facil ities for the desclopment of its resources. Resolved, Tina one other public ser vant has earned our gratitude, and that every right-minded man in the Common. wealth, by faithfully administering his responsible trust, and seconding the eco nomical views of the executive—and this Whig Convention would not faithfully. represent its constituents, if it did not give inv.:renal of earnest gratitude to the late State Treasurer, Gideon J. Ball, of Erie, for all he has done, and all he has preven ted. 6; Resolved, That, with a view to sustain the Executive by the association of men—men of high character, sound political opinions, and large experience, we have this, day nominated Joshua Dun gan, Joseph Henderson, and Henry W. Snyder; surrounded by such men, and no longer embarrassed by adverse asso ciation, the Whig Governor can without fear or difficulty, carry into successful up oration all measures ncoessary for the public guoll ; (or their election, and with it, tlw election of a Legislative majority, so importcnt in every respect, we invoke ac. ity, harmony awl lidclity'lit the Whig ranks, front one cud of the State to the other.

Resolved, That the prostrate con dition of thC industrial interests of Penn sylvania, produced by the repeat of tir! Ta riff of 1842, and the enactment of '6u r present revenue system, is a subject tlia demands the serious and early cOnsid oration of Congress. While our .brethern of the South are denouncing: the Free States of this Union for suppoSed-aggress sions upon what they claim ris•thei.r:con stitutional rights; we invite them to.:,con. teMplitte the injury they have inflicted up on the North, which now threatens,: ane in some instances, has already caUsed , the most deplorable distress and penuery a mong large classes of our people;---a people who are devoted to the Union, who are ever ready to support the Constitu tion and law of their country, to sustain her honor whenever rissailed, and to shed their bloud'in her defence ; amd who are justly entitled, in return, to the:ProteetiOn that she has withdrawn from them,::and given to the manufactures, the work shops and labor olother countries. The Whigs of Pennsylvania desire to present theqUes tion to the present Congress, whether their action upon the subject is to ho con trolled by the wishes of the British Minis ter, or the voice of Northern freemen of the American Uniou. 11. Resolved, That while the Whigs of Pennitylvania are opposed, as they have ever been, to the extension of ,slavery, they hail the 'people of the South, as their brethern, in whose prosperity .they re joice, and whose constitutional rights, they are prepared to sustain and defend. That in the spirt of good neighborhood, when ever the interests of. different .sections • of our glorious Union aro supposed to, .con flict, they arc prepared now, as they ever have been, to stand upon the ground of mutual forbearance, beartily..rosPontling to the sentiment expressed by Gren.Ttrylor, in his message to Congrrss, that the great clement of his strength is to be found • in the regard and affection of 'the people for each other. 12. Resolved, That this Convention cordially approve the recommendation of Gen.
