TIic I2Itic fountain Ky Awake! Wc call public attention to the proceedings of the Whig County Meeting, held at the Court House, in Siroudsburg, on Tuesday eTening last. Thry breathe the proper spirit, and show that the rijjht feeling is abroad amongst our pen pie. It wi the largest Whig Meeting crer held in Monroe, by odds; and every thing passed off in n pleasant and agreeable manner. It was heart cheering to sw so many men congregated together and taking part in a Whig Meeting, in a district which has heretofore been nearly unanimous agaistot Whig men, and Whig meas ures. Hut live prostrate condition of public af fairs, has induced thera to look about, and they acc thai the only hope for the country, is the carrying out of those principles of government, to which the lamented Harrison was pledged. There was but one sentiment in regard to the Presidential candidate. Every eye was di rected io the Statesman of the West; that daunt less and tinfliching friend of his country, Henry Clay. All felt certain, that with his name in scribed on our banner, wo might go into the contest, confident of victory. The Resolutions are full and explicit of our sentiments, and should be read with care and attention by every one. They present, in a brief manner, all thoso important principles, upon which we hare joined issue with our op ponents. The meeting was eloquently addressed by Henry D. Maxwell, Esq. of Easton, and S. N. Thompson, of Siroudsburg, who were frequent ly interrupted by loud burls of applause. The meeting, was every thing that the warmest friend of our cause could hare desired, and bodes well for the cause of Henry Clay and correct principles in Monroe. The Hen. John Banks. This distinguished gentleman and jurist, it will ber seen, by reference to the proceedings of the Whig Meeting, published in another col umn, is th choice of our political friends in Monroe, as the next Whig Candidate for Gov ernor. Judge Banks, is well and favorably known in every part of the Commonwealth, and his elevation to the Chief Magistracy there of, would be hailed as a great national blessing. He is a man of the strictest integrity, and hon esty, and under hi administration of the gov ernment, the peeple would have no need to fear tin unfaithful or dishonest application of tho public money. He is just such a man as the exigencies of the times demand; and if nom inated, on tho 4th ef March, we consider his election certain. Wliig: National Convention. The Conferees of this Congressional District met at Siroudsburg, on Wednesday last, and unaniinoufcly choose Henry D. Maxiccll, Esq., of Northampton county, Delegate io the Whig National Convention, which is to assemble in Baltimore on the lsi of May next, to nominate Candidates for President and Vice President. An excellent selection. Good Ifews from Louisiana. The Hon. Henry Johnson, a staunch Whig, was on the 29th ult. elected IT. S. Senator, by the Legislature of Louisiana, for the unexpired lertn of the Hon. Alexander Porter, deceased. The close state of the parlies in the Legisla ture, inspired the Locos with the hop that they could be able to elect their man, and thus gain a Senator. But the result has shown the fal lacy of iheir calculations; and leaves the Whig majority in the Senate, unimpaired. The Legislature. Nothing of interest hat yet been done by ihis body. It i universally admitted that a more inefficient et of Legislators never met at Ilar r.hburg. Jjy Massachusetts has, at this lime, more people io ijio qusre mile of her territory than any Stttto in the Union, or upon ihia Continent llalificaliaii CoisVUKilibn. Twenty Delegates were appointed at the County Meeting, on Tuesday last.vb represent Monroe in the Young Men's Ratification Con vention, which is to be held at Baltimore, oi the 2d of May. Sabbaili School Cclcbrallon. Preparations art making, for a grad cele bration, by the Sabbath School, attached to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Styoudsbtirg, at 10 o'clock, on Sunday morning j next. The exorcises will consist of Recitations, Dialogues, Singing, &c, and from the pains which hare been taken to render the youngporformcrs per feet in their parls, we may anticipate a pleas ant entertainment. The object of the celebra- l lion, is ilia laudable one of raising funds to pur chase) a Library for the use of the School. 1 iYarrew Escape. The Easton Whig of the 4th inst, saya: " Last week a four-horae vrajjon loaded with lumber, and tho driver, wererirocipilated down a steep bank, twonly-five otihirty feet, at the Delaware Water Gap. Tht wagon and lum ber were broken, but the driver and horses mi raculously escapod injury. The Delaware at that place was frozen over -or they would un doubtedly hare been drowned. The accident was occasioned by the large quantity of ice formed in the roadjrom the mountain springs; and great care must he taken hy drivers at such passes or they will slip off tho track." Defining his Posisibn. Hon. Daniel Webster has written a letter to the Whigs of New Hampshire who roquestcd the use of his name as a candii ato for Pr'csi ident. He refers the selection i r a candidate to the Whig National Convention, expresses his conviction that Henry Clay will be there selected, and indicates his hearty concurrence in that choice, and his resolution to support it. A -Tlorenidnt at Washington. A Washington correspondent of the Boston Courier says: "A diplomatic dinner was given day before yesterday by the Hon. Willio P. Mangum, at which were presentpatnoung others the Hon. Daniel Webster and Messrs. Barrow, Choate, Crittenden and Rives of the Senate; Gen. Scott of the Army. All these distinguished gentlemen hare definitely agreed to support the nomination of Henry Clay to the Presidency. Mutual explanations were made, and existing differences arranged. So now look out for a bold fight against Van Buren." The Next Governor. The signs of the times point with unerring certainty to Judge Banks, as the candidate of the Whig party for the next Governor of Penn sylvania. There i3 not a more popular man in the Commonwealth, nor one on whom the par ty could unite with a more certain prospect of success. In this quarter, so far as our infor mation extends ; no other individual is men tioned, or oren thought of. The Whigs owe the nomination to Judge Banks, and it will be an act of ingratitude inhem if he does not re ceive it. Delaware Co. Republican. Col. Johnson. The Globu publishes a letter from Col. John son on the subject of the next Presidency, in which, among oiher matters, he says : " Should it be the pleasure of the Conven tion to nominate me for the first ofiice, I should accept the honor with gratitude and reluctance. L should accept of the second with thanks and with pleasure ; and am willing to lake my po sition among the rank and file, if such be the , pleasure of the Convention without a murmur." Which ofiice does the Colonel prefer, the firsl or second 1 We should be sorry lo see J him again play second fiddle to Mr. Van Buren. nis irue menus win do all they can to prevent an occurrence of this sort, which will certainly end in his iotal discomfiture. ib. JJjP The Reading Journal says the following aro a few of the nositiona whirh ihn friondc nt j Judge Banks lake, and which they believe can not oe controrertcu : 1st. In 1841, he was nominated with unpre cedented unanimity, and received a larger role than any oiher man in tho commonwealth could have polled. 2nd. At that election he received 651 more votes in Mr. Irvine's district, than tho "popular Congressman," and is at this time more gene rally known, and stronger in the State than any candidate mentioned. 3d. His qualifications for tho office are bet-, tcr than those o any man who han held it fori years past, and superior to those of any man ai this time before :he public for office. 4th. H j th, ouy nmi mnv spoken of, who can unite and brin out the untire Whig and Anti-maaonic htrength of the Sute, especially in the German counties. Hcnry Clar "Bargain and SaJe." The House of R-presenlires of Tennessee, on the 27th ult., passed the resolutions of ihe Senate, rrpealmg. in effect, the resolutions of the General Assembly of 1827. charging jlihn Quincy Adams and Henry Clay whh' Bar gain.

Resolved, I hat with one hand, one heart, and one voice, we will rally for Harry of tho I Wesi" a man only second to the reverod liar-1 rison in the affections of the people, and now i thai stern death has removed that beloved hero,!

At the late Johnson meeting at Harriaburg it seems there were some wags de termined on nuking sport, a correspondent of the Lancaster Herald says : As soon as the resolutions were read, sub stitute and amendments were offered by the dozon, and some of them queer enough. One fellow moved that I he resolutions reported by tho Committee be so amended as to read that Martin Van Buren is to be the choice of this meeting for the Presidency. A further amend ment was proposed that the said Martin Van Buren be allowed to remain in Kinderhook to look after his cabbages.

Stale of Affairs in Ireland. From our private correspondence we learn, says, the N. Y.

Seven millions of Cath olics are to hold public meetings on one ami the same day, all over the country, and general consternation prevails. On the part of the gov ernment a great force of 30,000 men and artil lery has been thrown into Ireland, to preserro the peace of that island against revolutionary attempts.
