Judge Brown will poll the I>emocratic vote, and draw largely trorri that class who think with us that it Was an unfortunate day when Penntiyhrania changed her constitu tion so as to make a Judge elective. Gen. Wilson Nominated for Congress. In the proper place, in our paper to-day, our readers will find the name of Gen. E. C. Witeoe, of this city announced as the Democratic nominee for Congreas— the Conferees of Erie and Crawford hav ing unanimously put him in nom.nation for that position on Friday of last week, at a meeting held in this city. In raising his name we desire,to express otir gratification, not only with the nomination itself. but also with the energy the General has enter ed upon the canvass. Upon being notified of the fact that he was selected to bear the Democratic banner in the district, he promptly invited Hon. E. BAISBITT, the Re publican candidate, to meet him upon the stump, and discuss the issues between the two pari t ies. The correspondence between the two gentlemen will be found elsewhere. where it will beseen that Mr. Babbitt as promptly declined, thus adding anothor evidence of the truth of the adage that ••dis cretion is the better part of valor." The excuse offered by Mr. B.—namely, his pri vate affairs—we look upon as no excuse at all. What has the private affairs of any candidate to do with his time when public affairs demand his attention. But Mr. B. thinks probably that as the district is large ly Republican, and his election certain, he may "turn an honest penny" with his '•private affairs," and let his take care of itself. It may be that lie has made a mistake it may be that the peo ple may demand at the ballot boN that candidates for important office shall not hereafter "sneak" behind their ..private al fairs" and their "age," in order to avoid just. responsibility. But we will Tiot en large upon this point, as Republican can• didates of all grades appear to he tvon• derfully afraid of public discussion tins, year—Babbitt and Curt inhaasehdth shown the "white feather" when least expected • the fo. nwl in refusing to meet his peer when called out, and the latter. alter boast tng all the Stati , that he had challeng ed 'roster to a public discussion, when in fact he Its , } been challenged and de. lin ed. Of the qualifications of Gen. for the position to which his party has noinin • ated him, there can be no que,tion. A 1.4 ded to a pleasing address:. courteua., a nd popular =lumen, he , is a very el.ument and effective speaker, and will carry into the CIIIIVIIai a determination Gi surcee,l.

ELIJAn BAnuorr Dear ,Sir —Having Lawn nominated at the Democratic can didate for congress in this district, in op position to you, I thank it proper to ask you to meet !neon the stump, to publicly discuss the questions at issue in this cam pulp. I would suggest Erie, Meadville, (lirard, Waterford, Conneautville, Edin boro, Saegertown and Liuesville, as suitable localitie. for such a discussion ; althogh an) other places you may desire will be acceptable to tue. As the election day is close at hand. I would suggest an immedi ate answer to this note. I have the boa oi to autrcnbe myself, h., 11 E ItsoN Dear Sir •-1 have the Iloilo' to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday , informing me of your nomination a.s the Democratic candidate for Congress in this district, and indica ting your desire to have me meet you, as you say, " on the animp, to publicly discuss the questions at issue in this campaign. ' 1 beg leave to assure you 01 my personal desire to accommodate you in any way reasonably in toy power. but at this late period, when there are but two weeks to the day of the election, with a necessity, on my part, of devoting some attention to business in our court, now in session, and with constant pressing demands on my time out of court, it would be impossible for rue to he with You at the several places by you suggested. Besides I have not the v.uiit\ to suppose that by joining with you in you, proposed itinerating and stump ing rtivimion, I could proselyte a sufficient nut:Libel of your democratic friends to my political faith to make it worth the toil,; even if I had the time of accompany ing ;you in it. And, as to Republicans of the district, I have an abiding confidence that they already fully understand the merit, of " the questions at issue in this campaign " Moreover, at my period of life, I am not as ambitious of making a display as when younger I may have been, and as a younger aspirant'to political hon ors may very properly be. Any time, therefore, which, between this and the election, I can snatch from other pressing duties, for the purpose of publicly discus sing the questions at issue in this cam paign. I shall devote exclusively to meet ings at those places where, by existing in vitations, the citizens have been pleased to indicate their desire to hear me. In being thus reluctantly compelled to decline, in this instance, accommodating myself to your wishes, I am comforted with the re flection that my doing so cannot in any degree unfavorbly affect your political prospects, because the whole district is open before you, and you are at liberty to address meetings whenever, and where ever you please, and to make all the pros elytes you can. And I assure you I shall not complain, but rather rejoice to know that yov are thus improving your time, and making your best possible speed over the political race course on which you have entered. Very Respectfully, Yours, &c., E. BABBITT P. S. If you are very desirous of having a stump antagonist, I am happy to know, and to inform you, that there are in Erie, several republican gentlemen, younger, of more leisure, and capable of greater phys ical endurance than:myself, who would be pleased to meet and discuss with you, at the places you have indicated, the politi cal issues to which you have referred. And it it accords with your desire, I will pledge my4elf that one of them shall be on hand For that purpose. E. B. 11, , n /ha, •- I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt ofyour letter of the 25th inqt, in reply to mine of the 21 I regret that ‘ou decline my proposition to stump this congressional district. I think the people would have been pleased to have hail a personal discussion between the candidates themselves, and I cannot but think Ow your private officers, which, you sa' , will prevent you. might for a few days, been laid aside to have afforded them this gratification. Your proposition to send with me, in your stead. some young republican orator ( whom you do not even name,) is not what I contemplated when I addressed you• You cannot delegate to others the du ties which alone attach to you as the can didate of your party, andwhich make you the acknos ledged exponent of its princi ple, If cannot support the responsi bility your positions throws upon you, and you alone, it is begging the question to re 'rtu.. to the whole bevy of republican ?eskers and office-seekers that swarm in the city of Erie. There is a fitness in the discussioli of public matters, together, by candidates for Congress that you have failed to perceive and recognize, and I must consider your note as a polite, but direct refusal, to meet me on the stump. I will. therefore, meet the people of this district. as my friends shall designate, and should any of your ambitious followers and admirers come across me, in political dis cussions. I shall know how to dispose of them. I have the honor to remain, Yours, Respectfully, E. C.

In doing so I know full well the responsibility I assume, and understand distinctly the difficul• eulties which surround the Democracy in this district, I-know that "the opposition here are confident of a victory from the highest office to the lowest, and boast triumphantly of receiving a large majority for their candidate for Con gress This is a mere party boast, and they forget the warning maxim that -Me race is not eZtosys to tae eraljt , nor the battle to the strong." The selection of law-makers for the nation in volves so many questions vital t.,) the interests of the whole Union, that no mere party tit rength, however strong, cab force into Congress any particular individual, - whose views of duty are so narrow - and-contracted as to be obnoxious to the conservative element of our country.— This conservative element consists in the "pith and marrow - of 'the old Whig party, which survives in our good old Commonwealth, and is stimulated to action when the strife of phi-- ties have led them away from the old la - marks of Jeffer;on, of Clay, and of Webster— throws its whole weight against sectionalism, and casts 'lts m4hty strength against those, who, for sake of office, would lay violent hands against the constitution and the laws. My op ponent, (a gentleman for whom I have great respect,) is the nominee of a party which boasts of its sectionalism—e, party which recognises but one law for its guide, and but one rule for its action—which appeals for its support to northern feeling and passion—is steady in its opposition to the constitutional rights of one half of this Union. and whose whole aim and object is to bring about that "irrepressible eon- Piet" between the North and South, which, when accomplished, is only done at the tacri flee of our glorious Union—the dismemberment of the greatest nauou upon which the sun ever shone, and the total overthrow of those civil and religious institutions which are the hope of the world. I take It that these are not the views for a Congressman to entertain—these are not the duties he is required to perform, and a not the way to fulfil his oath which he takes to "eupport the Coneattution of tAt United Solt'', • I do not class all who are called Ite pultheans as being Abolitionists, far from it; as I know there are thousands of men of that party in this :Mate who dislike the doctrines held by their leaders, Seward, Giddings, Phil lips. Hale, &c., ,t.c These men, sooner or later. must leave such a party, and I feel like making an appeal to them to do it at one* I For myself. i Jetisy ha permitted to say that I am for the mitintenance of the Constitution and the laws of our country, under every con tingency, and I hold that the Judiciary of the land, ordained by the people, to be the proper tribunal to interpret the Constitution. and to give contornction to the laws made in pursu ance thedeof. I reeogn,itte no "higher law for the regulation of my conduct than these : and protection fur my own rights only, while I re.peet those of others. I acknowledge no -Irrepressible conflict - except that between right and wrong I enter upon no crusade sgaln-t the imaginary ill• tit the African race, n I. I desire to dictate to my Southern neigh bor how lie shall perform his duties to society and to hi. country the la , regulates all those things:and to that alone he is answerable , — The platform uf the Cincinnati conrentton in contains my political creed upon all sub je, tit. particularly that in relation to Territo nal government It was endorsed by the peo- Ide in the last Presidential contest., and it still remains the fundamental priuciples of a ma jority et the American people. tsn thus plat form stool the old Line Whigs in 1566. and n.ror. in Pelt). I am safe in assuming fur thew a similar course, with a like successful result. I tvelieve their views and those of the Demo cratic port y are substantially the same—at least they agree in stout opposition to those fanati cal men, both North and South, who, while they profess upon their lips loyalty to the Consti tution. yet harbor the demon ..f `'ittunion in their hearts, and proclaim • ter; e t he trea sonable thoughts engendered An The union of these two nati t onal elements in this district will insure another triumph for the Constitution, and place another barrier to the progress of error and fanaticism. The people of Erie county, above all others, should break away from this abolition political party, and stand in proud eminence as the defender of all the people. wherever they live, over whom floats the "star spangled banner." The union of these States should be as dear to her now, as they were" when her gallant sons participated in their defence under the valorous Perry. In your harbor was built that gallant fleet whoa* victory electrified the whole country, from Penobscot to New Orleans—and on the period ical return of the day when the British tag of St. George was lowered to the American tees, you rasesiblo to do boon' to ihi day, •nd to renew your fidelity to 1,«10 r .attlir) - ran you, then, citizen. , of Erte •tehheiately vote fin a party, or the cau•ii , Jace ~t that a truld Ike the he t,, all the.o and drier husk all the,. feelings ~t pa: riot Ide 110 t beihrte you eau I hate too high a :reeled for your intelltgenee nth,' truthfulness to think for 8 moment that you could 110 40 sail a thing as thf.

Tide m a subject threct,ly connected with the duties of )our Representative in Con gress, and is one in which you ought to be, and no doubt are, deeply interested. I believe it to be'Ve duty of Congress to make oppropria tio4s in giving facilities to the commerce of the great lakes, and the navigable venters of the West—waters over which the States have no exclusivit jurisdiction, and cannot lawfully olisiruct I believe that Congress has the pow , e, given in the Con•titution to make such ap propriati.ms The dreams, hopes, and wishes of your peo ple. entertained for V) years, is about being fulfilled in the completion of a railroad from the harbor of Erie to the bores ofthe Delaware; but while your energies are giving life and vi tality to this important enterprise, you seem to have waited bat little thought upon the condi tion of the very harbor upon which its stamens mainly depend you have the only real harbor and the only safe anchorage upon the Lakes It needs the fostermg hand of the general gov ernment to deepen the channel to its entrance, and to , builti the works necessary for its pros ervation and usefulness In good old times, whim the people of our States tired in amity one with another—iu those days when the Golden Role was regarded - when the wooly bead of the negro had not yet cloudell the rea son and hardened the heart of ttie oi tliern people—when abolitionism was looked upon as the eccentricities of weak minded Ulan I Say in those days, some attention was given :u the commercial interests of your harbor, and ap propriations were obtained from Congress, and expended under its out harity But now, in the light that the progress of years she•l upon us, amid the great facilities fur trade an 1 commerce that modern skill and irnee have strewn around us. in the anniiii,:ition of time and space by ihe telegraph and locomotive, of which an improved harbor can give us the advantage, we must needs sit down and wait, as patiently as we can, until our legislators at ‘Vashington settle the impraetilile yuesttou whether the ne gro shall be placed upon the saint footing as the white man, and whether the I ~ u -titut ion shalt he disregarded to effect this and kindred übjec Cs These and similar questions occupy t he silent Loa of your legislators, and until t his incubus is ban ished from the halls of Congress—until your representatives are chosen Mau some other Motive than philasiahropy for the negro—until you enjoin upon him some higher dimes for his observance, and some better task to employ his skill and talent —then, and only then, can you hope to secure your share of the public money in building up your harbor, and making it a source of wealth and profit to your whole com munity. am in fa‘or ut •itcli a tariff as will give ad equate protection to American manufacture I am in trot of a Railroad to the Pacific to he built by the . eneral government lam in fa vor of such a disposition of the public lands as will give a free home to the actual settler.
