PROPOSED srAUNroS coNvENTloN.

MEssRs. EprroRs.-I see In your paper Of
the 2Sth uit. that the different counties OF
this State are invited to send Delegates 10
the Young Mems Convention to be held al
Staunton; 9rd Monday in July next: and
you say, eve believe persons under s. years
OF age are included in the appellation.r -
Now | should suppose all under 40 years OF
age might with propriety be classed with the
young men-hrst, because they csnnot right
fully be classed with the old man: and Sc
condly, because all under that age have ser
vices 20 perform IN common with those un
der s. years Of age. iii am right in this
view, it would. if acted on, open a wider
field for successful operation verify be-
ieve that nothing is needed but the exertions
of the talented men Of the Clay party in
this State to carry the electoral vote for him.
Let them but meet The adversary on ever,
public occasion in debate, before the people
and the day is ours. All that the people
wants, is information. Give them that. and
they win act right. HENRY.

more especially on an occasion like the pre-.

probability, frame an Electoral Ticket for
the State, appoint Committee in the several
counties TO superintend the elections, Sc.

We have published on the first page, another
perance Societies, in which he replies TO some
remarks Of his former communication
Those remarks were made, not for the purpose of
entering into controversy, but in pursuance of a
rule which we generally follow of admitting arti-
Giles, on subjects Of public interest, whether the
opinions they advance in accordance with our
own or. not, accompanying the article, where
we think the requires it, as in that in
stance, with an exposition of our own views
Having done this, we should have felt perfectly
satisfied to leave the subject in the hands of L. to
make the most of his argument, had it not been
for the attempt 1--WE leave it for others to deter
mine whether ingenious or not) to misconstruc the
language we used. When we spoke of "cyery
other Imaginable good, ;" we meant precisely what
the words mean, in their most obvious construc-
tion-withopt intending to convey any opinion of
the relative Importance Of the proposed good
whether it was great or small. Yet Y would rep.
resent US as holding, that the present use of wine
is only an imaginary" evil substituting word
for that we used similar in sound, but totally diff
ierent in the meaning it conveys, as he uses it..
And that he intended it should be understood that
we used the same word that he did, is obvious
from the fact, that, in one instance he has marked
it with quotations.
We are ready to admit the evils of wine drink.
ing to be even greater than they are represented
by H., but we say that they part of the conse.
qnences of the use of ardent spirits, and that the
habit is first induced by the of distilled liquors
When II. is called on for the instances Of those
who have become Incorporate from the use o.
wine alone, he is obliged 10 go back to the DAYS of
Solomon, and even there he fails to show that
those referred to were haJitual sots But we have
evidence more to the purpose at the present time.
In the wine.growing countries OF Europe, where
wine is the constant, and almost only drink of the
people, we are informed, on the best authority,
that drunkenness Is thing almost unknown
In relation to the subject eff the expense of wine
and spirits, there is deception 1--WE do not say in
tentional) in the statement Of u. As there is no
wine OF any consequence made in this country,
the amount of importation beyond the export, is,
probably, near approximation to the annual con-

WASHINGTON. April 16.
The Executive leaders in the House are
preparing for the defence of the friend of
the President and it is believed they will
put in pen of justification. Gen. Jackson
has expressed much solcitude on this sub
ject dreadng the veriieation of Mr.. Ing.
hams charge that the law Of arms had
been proclaimed at the Capital. Indeed,
the fact that several members of Congress
have already provided themselves with
arms, and intimated their apprehensions
that the recent outrage was countenancetl
by men in high places furnishes abundant
cause of alarm TO the peaceful citizens oil
our country. 1t may well he suspected
that the counsellors in the Red Ink affair,
were the advisers in this; or at least ex-
tended to the ci-derant Governor their will

w WASHINGTON, April 10.
This morning the Speaker stated that
Samuel Houston had been taken into custo-
dy, by the Serjeant-at-arms in obedience
to orders given at the direction of the House
on Saturday. Mr.. Davis of Muss, offered
a resolution to bring Mr.. Il. 10 the bar next
Thursday; stating that he presumed from
what was said in the House on Saturday.
that Mr.. Stanherry would not be able to
appear before that time, and that the House
would not take up the trial until he sliculd
I've present. MI. Fitzgerald of Tenn, went
at large into an argument against retaining
Mr.. Ii. IN custody, and smoke in high terms
of the accused.
