the committee could get at, by which, they would be

A Call.

A meeting OF the Wing young men of
Evansville and vicinity, will be held at the
Court House, this, Saturday evening, at 8
O'Clock, for the purpose Of organizing a
Scott and Graham Club, and to take into con-
sideration such measures as the meeting
may deem expedient for the promotion of our
cause generally, and the election of our
State and National candidates in particular.
Let the young men be there in their might,
and let the "Ball be opened by them
with an energy and zeal becoming the impor-
lance Of the contest that is approaching us.
This call, though it originates with young
men, is also extended to the older portion Of
our Wing citizens, by whose roiss councils and
sound judgment we desire to be guided on that
occasion. By order.

HO! for LuDdy.S Lame.

From what we hear Kentucky will be
handsomely reprepresented at the great cele-
bration at Niagara Falls, on the 9th. Quite
a respectable delegation will start from this
city the latter part of the week. The Frank
fort Commonwealth ofyesterday says:
A delegation from Frankfort, includig Capt
Coins Artillery Company, will start on Fri
day next, forthe
Great scctt Mass Meet ng,
to be held on the battle ground of Lundy 5
Lane, at the Falls o; Niagara, on the 9th
and 2sth of July.
They will take with them the cannon cap
tured at Cerro Gordo and the gallant Col. J..
s. Williams, by whose valor it was won, has
been invited to accompany them, and his ex-
pected to 60.
This trophy from SCOTS victories in Next
CO, goes up to be introduced to the trophies
he won beside the great Cataract
thirty-eight years ago. They will speak to
each other with avoice above the shout of the
immense multitude and the sound of the
mighty waters.
The Meeting at Lundy'sLane will doubtless
be the largest political assemblage that has
been seen in America, and it will be the
means of kindling an enthusiasm that will be
felt throughout all the length and breadth OF
the land. COZ G-1

be made by the steamboat and railroad CON-

In distances over 1000 miles this Bill re-
duces the rates, but in distances under 1000
between the new settled and the main reading
parts of the country, the postage on newspa-
pers is by this bill essentially increased, more
especially on papers circulating in the State
where they are printed.
Besides the bill limits the weight of news
papers to two ounces, Gnstead of three
ounces, the present Unity maximum consid-
erably below the weight of the newspapers
in some of the larger cities, both daily and
weekly. Over one ounce newspapers or Pc
riodicals under it pay double the rates of one
ounce newspapers or periodicals.

congregational Canvass.

We would respectfully suggest to our
Wing friends of Vincennes, in view of call
made in the columns of the Gazette, upon
staunch Wing to become a candidate Tor the
nomination of the party in the First District,
for Congress, that little more modesty
might be more becoming. We don't think it
looks well in a county just taking Its place
among the old counties ironing the First
District of Indiana, to push forward candi-
date for Congress from its own borders, be-
fore even the time has been fixed for Dis
trict Convention. The Wings of Wander
bargh county have thus far been treated
shamefully in the First District. They have
dene more hard work for the success of the
party than the Wings of any other county
Mhey have worked day and night, and labor
ed with their brethren in other counties-but
when it comes to selecting candidates, Van

popular material in this county as in any 9th.

this long enough, and other counties in the
district should have some little respect ;ol
their feelings, and some gratitude for thcil
past labors. In this particular case, we have
claims to present to the Convention, ant
(which should at least be respected. Every
thing depends upon who is the Wing cand

We can win the battle with strong yet un.
Objectionable candidate-and we will just al
certainly lose it if the candidate is not al

After consultation and correspondence
with prominent Wings of five of the lowe
counties of the district, we are authorized Il
announce, that the Wing District Convcn

nile Ambition.

Quite an amusing callupon friend Garrett,
to come out as a candidate for Judge of Court
of Common Pleas, appeared in the last No.
of the Times, signed by divers Democrats
several of whom are now in Eastern cities.
They think he has all the proper qualifica-
tons in high degree. GLOW did they find
out that in an acquaintance of only a few
months, and when he has had no practice at
our barb Then again-"haviEg observed in
your disinclination to come forward, uncalled
and unsolicited, thorough recognition on
your part of the true republican doctrine
that it is the peoples privilege to designate in
all cases those whom they may prefer to serve
them, &C." Gas, Mr.. Garrett has recog-
nized in his conduct this republican doc
trine," Just about as much as Democratic Of
fice-seekers generally do. He has been ma
neuvering for just such call as he has re-
ceived, the last three months. "a disincli-
nation to come forward" He has exhibited
certainly just such a disinclination as now
marks about zen or twenty other Loco
focos in Evansville, to serve their country in
first rate office.
Mr.. CARROTS reply to this unexpected ant
truly perplexing call, will appear in the
Times of this evening. With that modesty
SO peculiar to him, he will doubtless speal
of his own humble qualifications dsin
clination to undertake the duties of so i'm
portant position, and where he fears he may
forfeit the confidence of his friends-but tina
he cannot refuse obeying the wishes of hi
party, &c. even though contrary to his owl
aginative, Mr.. Garrett. You've got fin,
field for modest fancy.

We hope so. Do not fail either to repub-
lish the letter and extracts whichwe request
ed you to copy in justice t. Gen. Scott. A
Jouler SANDER against hero, patriot and SOL
der, was never uttered than that contained
in the extracts published in the Times, and
for which it is attempted to hold Gen. Scott
responsible. We are not done with this
matter yet. The Germans and other foreign
ers of Evansville shall not be deceived in
this manner, while we have pen and facts
with which to open their eyes. We have
too many friends among the Germans here,
and have been too often called upon to de-
fend them, and once from the direct attacks of
a Democratic press of Evansville, to see
these attempts made to gull and deceive them,
without an attempt to open their eyes to the
deception.

In Life of Gen. Pierce" just published,
We find the following:
Shortly after, the train was again attack
ed by guerillas at the National Bridge, which
was barricaded with chapparel. The troops
were fired upon, and two bullets passed
through Gen. Pierce's hats
That's rich. A few days back we publish
ed statement of soldier, made to us, under
Gen. Pierce, who never knew that it was
claimed in any way, that Pierce's hat was
shot--but who was willing to make affidavit
that Gen. Pierce knocked off his own hat,
exclaim,ng it had been shot from his head,
and that on examination the hat was found
untouched by bullet! Now this is no fiction
NOR is it political lie." 1t is fact
which an upright and respectable man is will
ing to swear to, and from his own observa-
ton, that Gen. Pierce KNOCKED off has o,cn hat
and tried t, make his soldies believe it had
been shot of, when no gun report was heard
and the hat did not show single mark. Our
informant had no idea that capital fol
Pierce had ever been made out of this matter
but it was piece of juggling on Pierce's
part to acquire little fame. Now, for heav-
ems sake, let him have all the fame he car
make out of it. Trifing as is this incident
it proves more than great events might, the
character of the man. 1t shows he wished
to acquire a name to which he was never en-
titled-to have made hair breadth escapes
which never happened-an ambition to fig
urc at home in light he never was seen il
Mexico. 1t is excessively small any way i
may be viewed.

authorized the Governor to appoint Il per.
