A Convention.

Some of the papers of our party are in
favor of calling convention in Nashville on
the 22d of February next, in order to make
the necessary preliminary arrangements for
the coming canvass. This move is opposed
by other papers because it is thought to be
too early. We have not yet given this subject
much consideration. but from the slight atten-
ton which we have paid to it, we think that
the proposed time is not too early. There
will be several new measures of State policy
which IL will be right and proper for the con-
vention to take action upon. and this action
cannot be taken too early tO give the people
an opportunity of thorough understanding
the measures which will be adopted by our
party by the first of August next The Wings
and Americans will adopt no measures of
State or general policy which they will be
ashamed to see fully brought TO light, in all
its bearings. Though we do not wish to be
considered as stickler for an early conven-
ton. but we shall cheerfnlly acquiesce in any
time that the party may choose TO call it,
Unity of action in the approaching canvass is
what we want, and what We must have, If We
aim at success.

Re not Afraid of Labor,

"Wnl You send it to st. Charles street,"
SAID q youth. yesterday, to the shopman, after
having paid three dollars for a hair brush at
one of the fancy stores just below the neutral
ground. 500 me the favor, as | shall saunter
down to the St. Louis" he added, with the
air of lord, and left the store, twirling
cane of the most slender proportions. headed
with pearl that formed most tasteful con-
trast with his straw cOlOred kids. The pale,
girl like face, just beginning to be shaded
with delicate, downy beard, the elegant but
fragile form, set off to the best advantage by
an artist of the thimble and shears, the easy
and nonchalant manners, to be acquired only
in luxurious ease, and the indOlent languor
that would avoid the suspicion of the faint of
labor. presented the most striking possible
contrast, in every point of character and
habits, with those who founded, built up and
crowned this hopeful land with the glory of
success in arms, of ripe craftsmanship. OF
noble self denial, and of the most astonishing
material progress.
Well is it for the future of ftbis air Repub
lie that no considerable number are in cir
cumstances to cultivate only the effeminate
graces of luxurious idleness, and that, by the
operation of law and the constitution of soci-
ETY., the race of graceful and selfish epicu-
reans, in one generation. dies out.
Manlness of character is the result of toll
that gives consciousness of physical independ
ence. The sinews of brass and the muscles
of steel that create the power to lead in this
stirring age, are formed by the discipline and
culture of labor. The selfpOssession that
overcomes danger, and the clearness of intel
lect that takes advantage of the proper mo-
ment to achieve a notable success, are ac-
quired only by systematic labor-labOr that
cultivates a control over the intincts and
emotions, and expands and strengthens the
rejecting faculties.
The nobler virtues of the human character
can scarcely be developed where selfshness
that can suffer no Inconvenience, or pride
that feels disgrace from submission to the
curse pronounced in the Garden of Eden,
exists-a curse, by-the-way, which has proved
to be one of the richest blessings ever con-
ferred on our race.
Hundreds fail because of pride, not of such
an eXtravagant character as exhibited by the
youth whose request suggested this advice
but STILL a pride that fOrbids any apparent
loss of position as the starting point of labor
One of the most successful merchants here
asked for employment, on his first arrival. of
every establishment in a series of half a
dozen streets. and was prepared to accept
any situation found vacant from pOrter's
to that of a book-kceper. He rose, as though
he had possession of the lamp of Aladdin. 1t
is impossible to know what species of labor
may not open the avenue to success where all
is honorable. Do not wait for business to
seek you, nor confine inquiry 10 any particu-
lar one. Expect TO find the best filed. and
put off your coats, prepared for anything that
may be offered.

Til A administration and the Recent
New York Elections.

What does the national administration say
now at the result of the recent elections? We
told them some ten of fourteen days before
the elections in this city and State, that in
consequence of the widespread treachery of
the federal offic RS in this region, the democ
racy would be completed smashed to pieces,
and with few exceptions all the opposition
tickets would succeed. From local causes,
the county officers in this city have been
elected, and four or five members of Congress
have maintained their position at vast cost.
The complete rout of the democracy in this
State is owing entirely to the feebleness.
vacillation, treachery and corruption of the
federal officers of this city and throughout
the State. If there is any pluck in the add
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan. they should mt
once act in the matter. and the only action
advisable would be the total and complete re-
moval of every federal Office in this region
Collector, Postmaster. and every one down
to the lowest man. Have they the courage
at Washington TO consider this? Has the
Cabinet any courage or capacity to think of
such thing? Can the President tolerate
such indicative and violent foes as Forney
and his associates going among his federal
officers srm-in-arm, drinking. and winning, and
eating, and fighting. and counselling, and
advising with them in every possible way =

State whIg Convention.

We notice that call has been made for the
holding of Wing Convention ut Nashville,
on the gid of February next, for the purpose
OF nominating a candidate for Governor of
this State. We give in our adherence To the
suggestion, and hope that primary meetings
will I've held all over the State and delegates
appointed. The Wbig skies are bright in
Tennessee, aud we have only to act in con-
cert energetcally aud firmly, to redeem our
commonwealth from political misrule and
mal-administration. Let us then have the
Convention proposed, and let delegates-good
and true men-be appointed. aud let them be
sent up Instructed ii thought best but un-
tramelled by such arbitrary restrictions as
will prevent them from being free agents when
the Convention assemblies, aud opinions are
freely interchanged.

the Third-Arrest OF Several Citi-
zens.
1t will be remembered that sometime ago
four men were arrested in Campbellsville, for
killing an old man named Campbell. The
murder was under very aggravated circum-
stances-Campbell being an old, inoffrnsive
man; and it was supposed he was killed for
his money.
On Wednesday last, a large mob arrived
with guns and pistols; went to the Gseens-
burg Jail, and took Despair, Hunter, Thomp-
son, and one other, whose name We did not
learn. who were in custody for the murder.
The sheriff summoned some of the citizens
to aid him in rearresting the prisoners, but
they refused, owing to the large and iniuriated
mob which had them in possession When the
mob attempted TO take Hunter from Jail. he
cut his throat and died almost instantly. The
mob then started for Campbellsville, the place
where the murder was committed. On arriy-
ing there. they hung Thompson and Despair
upon i tree, and were about TO hang the other
man. when a voice in the crowd called out.
'-if he would confess they would spare him."
He then acknowledged the murder of Camp
bell. and implicated the men who had been
hung, together with several others who were
In the crowd. They were Immediately ar
rested. The greatest excitement prevails in
Greensburg and Campbellsvilie. This was
the second attempt OF the mob TO hang these
men.--Loa. Dem.

Convention of Americans and Wings, in

are inclined TO think that il might he well 10

therefore, that any action OF the kind. Gu the

mature.
II however, the Convention should be
agreed upon, we promise that Old Williamson
