The CongresaioLal Candidatea.

The candidates for Congress, in this con-
gressional district, addressed, the people of
Union district, on Tuesday of last week, Tho
journal, in its report says, that Coils. JOKES
and AsHMoRg stated, in the course of their
remarks, that they acted with the co-opera-
tion party of tho State in i655 L ind 80, be-
licying that, although tho State had tho right
to scccdc, still it was impracticablc and call
culased to keep the other Southern States
aloof from us. They were ready, however,
to so with the State in any action she might
decide upon. Whilst identified with the ma
tional democratic party for the present, be-
leving that to be the only constitutional par
ty now in existence, they would Mt any time
dissolve their connection with it, if, in their
Judgment, the party incorporated in its plat
form any views in opposition to the constitu-
tional rights of the States, or any sentiment
or principle antagonstic to Southern rights
or Institutions. They were on the platform
laid down by the State in the Convention of
1852. All the candidates agreed on this point.
Col. VERNON, in the course of his address,
said he belonged to the secession party III
1851 and '52, and alluded tonthe handsome
vote he received in Union district when o
candidate for the Southern Congress. -
He dwclt at length upon the wrongs of the
North againstthe South, and feared we should
never again have equality in the Union. r.,
There was large numbcr of persons pres
ent, and tho speeches were listened to with
marked attention. The candidates expressed
strong southern rights sentiments, pledging
themselves, if elected, to do all in their pow
er to vindicatc tho rights of the South

The Great Awakening.

There appears to be difference of opinion
in respect to the religious revival going on
throughout the country. 1t is contended by
nota few thatit is &work begotten by His spir
itahd power, thoroughly fixed in the public
mind, and that the millennium is near at
hand. Others are equally sssong IN the be-
lief that the public mind has only been par.
TALLY awakened, that the effect has been tern-
porary, and that in the end but little good
will result from it. True, it appears to be
general in its influence and effect, but it is
equally certain that its intensity is not so
great at the North as when it first commen-
ced. But whatever may be the state of affairs
elsewhere, the revival influence is nearing as.
At Pcndleton and Anderson, the ,ifcrent
churches and congregations have united, and
preaching and prayer meetings are taking
place in secular buildings almost daily. AS
yet, BUTTE have professcd religion, though
from the efforts making others doubtless will.
