The state convention.

10 THE DELEGATES
The American State Convention to nom
mate candidate for Governor meets to-
morrow. The greater portion of you are
uninsiructed, the constituency you represent
having thus left you at liberty to pursue that
course which in your judgment may best sub
serve the interests of the American Party.
Public opinion having been concentrated upon
no one OF our leading men, permit me to call
your attention to a gentleman who, in the
opinion of discreet, wise, and sagacious men
men who desire most srdently the success If
the cause in which we are engaged--is the man
to lead US to victory in the ensuing campaign.
That man is Gen. WAsHINGroN BARROW. For
years past he has been in private life; but in
the canvass of last year, his love of Ameri-
can principles and his confidence in the great
pilot who successfully carried the good ship
Of State safely through the Perils of the po
field. The series of brilliant speeches he
made. added largely 10 the reputation lie
bad previously enjoyed as an energetic,
able and eloquent orator. They showed
that he carried into retirement habits of
close observation aud profound thinking,
and that he came forth with maturer ard
more statesman like Judgment; and yet that
he had lost none Of the adrotness and vigor Of
former days. We want just such a man to
lead US now. One around whom all sec
tons, all fractions, of the party will gath
er with hope. He does not seek the po-
sition. He prefers private life. But, at q
time like this, u e people have right to de-
mand that he shall give mp his dsinclination
to political life, and to give them the benefit
of bis services. Let Us make the demand He
cannot be so recreaut knight as to reject it.
We have but short time to act. Let US act
promptly, and with spirit.
A DELEGATE.

tish slqDery north Of that line, and says to the
Norfh yost must not and shall not come south
Of 1t Dith your Tsstrictions.''
The capitals are the "old Pilots,n the
italics ours. While it was convenient for
party purposes and to sustain party lea
ders, our neighbor could see no outrage
upon the rights of the South in the Mis-
souri, compromise; but so soon as the "un-
certain humors of the times" make change
necessary, there is none who embraces that
necessity more willingly than our neighbor
He does not pause to espouse position
antipodal, to one which he had held for
many years, and upon which he must have
considered we'll But this is attempted to
be excused upon the plea, that the North
grew exhorbitant in her demands, and
therefore we should not be expected, even,
to concede so much as the Missouri COM
promise. This is perhaps, good democrat
ic logic though we are unable to appreciate
its force. But this does not excuse the
ferocity with which Mr.. BELL is now pur-
sued, for preserving his consistency; it
deepens the injustice For, certainly we
may be as honest now, as the editor was
then. We wish it understood, whenever
the Union and American, under its pres.
ent management, shall denounce Mr.. BELL
as an ally of the black republicans, that
paper is, at least, in part denouncing its
own former position.

Gen. Washington harrow.

Our correspondent, Delegate, presents
this gentleman, as fit and worthy person,
to be nominated as the American candidate
for Governor. What he has said of Gen.
Barrow is but just and true. We have no
doubt but that he would meet with the en-
thusiastic support of the entire party in
the state; and that he would make a most
gallant and spirited canvass, there can be
no doubt. We recommend the suggestion
of Delegate" to the consideration of his
fellow delegates.

We take pleasure in laying bef1re our
readers the f'llowiDg letter from JAMES NJ.
QUARLEs, Esq, of Montgomery county. 1t
needs no comment from US. His political
friends throughout the district, and members
of the party everywhere, will appreciate the
spirit of disinterested devotion to his princi
pies and his party which has prompted
the course which he has pursued under the
circumstances. We hail such manifestations
with delight, and their occurrence nerves our
arm, as it does every true American, to fight
on unremit;ingly, with the certain assurance
that with such leaders, and with such priDci-
Piles as are engraven upon our political creed,
ultimate success is certain:
CLARKsviLLE, April 81, 1857.
Mr.. EDrToR Since Major Henry has published
his letter declining the nomination rendered to him
place on the l4th inst, have received from my
friends in the different counties composing this Con
gresional district numerous solicitations, by letter
and otherwise, to permit my name to be again
broug forward as a candidate for Congress.
10 order, therefore, that may be rightly under
stood on this suit ct, permit me through your co.,!
umns to say, that having once voluntarily with
drawn from the canvass to il sure harmony in the
action Of my patty, / cannot consent again to
hazrd its harmonious action by permitting my
nams to come before the people. hold myself in
readiness at all times to meet the enemies Of my
party. but will never let sny action OF mine produce
discOrd and discussion among its friends.
It. we're useless for me here to express my pro-
found gratitude TO the friends in this and
the adjoining counties who have so ardenty urged
my claims upon the district. Their kindness ha-
wrought impressions upon me which time nor
change effIce, and II in future they demand my
serVicesin any opacity, stand ready to devote to
the service OF ny party whatever of ability NAV pos
sess And in thus taking leave of this canvass,
trust tina, harmony may prevail 10 our counses, and
union in our action, and glorious victory crown
our efforts.
Respectfully, JAS N. QUARLES.

SCARCITY or FEED.-We have rarely known
when the scarcity OF feed has been so great
as at present. Hay was sold on Saturday at S25
per ton from the wharf ia Louisville. In Missouri
it is still more serious. Some heavy shipments have
been made lately TO ST. Louis. The St. Louis
News, Of last Friday evening, saws;
The scarcity OF grain and grass in the interior Of
this State il circumstance too well stt"sed by the
most serious facts TO he doubted. Ia some parts OF
the State actual want is experienced, while, every
wh'r', farmers forced to system of close feed
ing TO prevent their supplies from giving out. The
winter was so long ana severe that ordinary stocks
OF grain have given out lotg since; and the absence
Of grass occasIoned by the backwarduess of the
spring ana the prevalence of bleak cas-. winds il a
want severely feIt-n the country il the starving
of caul, ami in the city 10 the scarcity and dear
ness Of beef aud butter.
10 Csliaway aud Marion counties we learn that
hogs dying Tor lack Of something 10 eat, while
cattle are barely abe to sustain themselves on DRY
prairie grass. Corn is being bought here in I'll Is
city for feeding in Gh. country fact which tells
Ia few words the tale Of scarcily.

The Panama Railroad, and the Move
menIs against New Granada.


WHsHINGroN April 81, 1857.
There are signs that the New York Panama Rail-
road Company are little alarmed at the effect of
the vigorous demonstration OF this Government a.
gainst New GranadI. Ii was not a war that they
wanted but future security agains. the extortion OF
the New Granadian Government ani against tn
repetition of the outrages Of the the 18th Of April
capital Of twenfythree millions 1T d1srs is vest
Cd by the Panama Steamer and Railroad Company
in this transit and, in the event of war, even if
no foreign nation took part with New Granada, il s
probable that the transit World be at least Temporal
rly interrupted.
The people and the Government OF New Grana
ds, as a MEASURE Of defence or revenge. might OBJ
struct or break up the railroad and ize upon and
destroy the property of the Company 1t would be
an easy thing to lombard and destroy AspinwaIl,
but il wouli be destructive to the interests OF
the American Company than those OF the natives.
The Company now deny that they stimulated the
Government to the adoption OF hostile measures
ard that III y have urged the cxpediency Of the
QUESTION by the United States Of the territory with
in which the transit lies. They would prefer that
the rritory should he common and tree to all MS
tons, for II IL was the expression exclusively OF
one, il woul be exposed to the hazards OF war.
