Our Candidate for Congress.

In presenting the name of JOHN LYNCH to
the Union voters of the first district, for their
support for Congressional honors, the late I'm
ion Convention did an act which reflects great
credit upon the gentlemen constituting that
body. The nomination is one eminently ut
TO be made. Mr.. Lynch is one of our most
successful business men, entirely self-made,
and stands in the front rank of our Portland
merchants. Honest, Straightforward and
high-minded in his dealings, Of unimpeached
and unimpeachable integrity, never STOPPING
TO any low or dishonorable means to accom-
plish an object, and scorning the trickery, the
low arts, the chicanery and the ignoble steps
too often resorted TO by aspiran,s for place
and honor, Mr.. Lynch will be found ever de-
voted to the best interests of his constituents,
seeking to promote the best good his district,
and BY work rather than talk commanding
the respect and challenging the appreciation
OF those with whom he will become officially
associated.
NO word OF ours is needed TO commend him
TO those who have the honor of his personal
acquaintance. They know him to be true as
steel and as incorruptible as pure gold. His
experience in the legislature has revealed an
adaptability to the duties of legislation, and
quick and accurate perception of the nice
distinctions and relations to be observed in
order to promote the public veal, which give
promise Of success and usefulness in the high
er legislation of the nation. That he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority we have
the fullest assurance.

The Kearsarge and Alabama.

Commodore Winslow of the Kearsarge
pub ishes letter in the London Daily News.
which concludes as follows:
"The Kearsarge steamed to sea, in order
that no questions OF neutrality Jurisdiction
should be raised; wnen far enough she turn
ed short round and steered immediately Tor
the Alabama for close action. The Alabama
fired as she was coming down on her two
broadsides and part of another: no one shot
came on board the Keafsarge. Tie Kesr
sarge then sheered and opened on the Alaba-
ma, trying to get nearer. The action lasted
one hour aud two minutes IRON the first To
the last shot. The Kearsarge received TWEEN
ty-eight shots above and below, thirteen
above her hull; the best shots were abaft the
mainmast, two shots which cut the chain
stops, the she'll Of which broke the casing of
wood covering. They were too high TO have
damaged the boiler had they penetrated
The kcarsarge was only slightly damaged.
and | supposed the action for hot work had
Just commenced, when il ended. Such stuff
as the Alabama firing when she WAS going
down, aud all such talk is twaddle. The Ala
bama toward the last hoisted sail TO get away,
when the Kearsarge was laid across her bows,
and would have raked her, had she not sur
rendered, which she had done, and was.trying
70 get her flags down. and showing a white
nag over her stern. The officers OF the Ala
Dana ON board the Kearsarge say that she
was complete slaughter house, and was
completely torn TO pieces. This is all know
of the Alabama.

written by James Buchanan 10 John Tyler.
president OF The Peace Convention,' on the
sd OF February, 1861. The original was
taken by Capt W. III. Long, Assistant Adj't.
Gen, from the house OF John Tyler, near
Charles City Court House. | had the clerk
make The copy myself, and know il to be
correct. There was another letter, a copy OF
which did not obtain, dated the same, or the
day previous, asking what effect the parade
would have on the Peace Convention Ty-
ler's reply we did not get, Of course. This
seems TO have been written on account of his
lTyler'sl complaining that the effect would be
bad. 1t seems impossible To conceive that a
president OF the United States would so hu-
initiate himself and his country by apologize
ing to one OF his country men Tor allowing
one or two companies OF regular troops 10

birthday. Ii were better for that man had he
never been born"
The following is the letter Of Buchanan,
above referred to-
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1861.
"'My Dear Sir: found it impossible to
prevent Two or three companies of the fed
erai troops from joining in the procession to-
day with the volunteers of the district, with
out giving serious offence to the tens OF thou
sands Of people who have assembled TO wit
ness the parade. The day is the anniversary
of Washington's birth, a festive occasion
throughout the land, and it has been partcu-
larly marked by the House OF Representa-
tives. The troops everywhere else join such
professions in honor OF the birthday of the
Father OF our Country. and it would be hard
to assign good reason why they should be
excluded from the privilege in the capital
founded by himself. They are here, simply
as posse comitdtus, to aid the civil authori-
ties in case OF need. Besides, the pro
gramme was published in the National Intel
ligencer of this morning, without my person

considered the celebration OF the national an

The Cause of the Rebellion,

What caused the rebellion of the South
What elementin society or in the constitution
of portion of the States prompted them to
rebel against the central government, and to
take up arms for its subversion and over
throw? Let facts answer.
/. Every free State stood flrm-every State
in which there is no negro slavery-and no
one wavered in its allegiance TO the Union
and the Constitution.
O. Every slave State, except republicanzed
Delaware, either revolted, or was held in its
place by force OF Federal bayonets.
8. The rebel element, or element of rebel
sympathy 10 the free States, was everywhere
found in perfect harmony and alliance with
the proslavery element.
4. The Union element in the revolted States,
with few exceptions, has been found to be
but another name for the anti-slavery element
In those States.
8. Those who have been cold in their support
OF the governmentifitsc conflict with rebelli, n
are VIGOROUSLY those who are the most Ten
der-footed on the slavery question.
0. The man who always couples his loyalty
to the government with an If" or condi-
ton. is the very man who is loudest in denun-
citation Of abolition, and is the most anxious
TO keep hands off the slavery question.
These facts are eloquent in answering the
question, "What caused the rebelion?" aud
teach with unmistakAble dlstinctness that but
for human slavery in our land the nation
would be at peace, and prepared to assert and
vindicate her power before the nations of the
earth.
To those conservative gentlemen who oil
ject to the force of these undeniable facts,
and who Insist that slavery is a very harmless
affair, and may be safely incorporated into
the body OF State or nation, we commend
the following facts and figures from the Nash
vile Tenn Union, paper published in the
heart al slave State and where the beauties
of the institution" are known and read of all
who have eyes 10 see, ears to hear, or sound
minds TO comprehend the lessons of passing
events:
you say, Conservative, that slavery is not
the cause Of the rebellion. What State orig
mated the rebellion, cherished il for many
years, when all other States Stunned and de-
nounced it, and finally fired the first gun of
civil war?
South Carolina, where there are 400, 4O6
slaves TO POI 1888 whites.
And what State was next in the work OF
disunion?
Mississippi. where there are 43663l slaves
TO $4,000 whites.
All but four of the Slave States seeded
and rebelied, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland
and Delaware. Kentucky has 9l0,517 whites
10 only 225, 4S3 slaves; Missouri has 1063,-
800 whites TO only 1l493l slaves; Maryland
has 5l5.9lS whites TO only 81 ,lS9 slaves; aud
Delaware has 90,5S9 whites to only 1,79s
slaves.
In the four loyal Slave States the disloyal
portions OF them are generally the slave hold
ing poi tons of them. Even when we look at
counties. the slave-holding precincts are dis
loyal, and the non-slave-holding precincts are
loyal. We could specify, if 1t were necessary,
several remarkable instances of this, within
our personal knowledge, in Southern Ken
lucky.
These are facts which it is impossible to set
asidev

More Victims of the Pirate Florida.

PHILADELPHIA. July II.
Sixty-two men came ashore at Cape Island,
n. j., being the crews OF the schooner Marga-
ret +. Davis and barks Greenland, Gen. Berry,
Zealand and Golconda. The latter left Tai
maham, Chilli, April 18th, with $40 barrels of
oil. All were captured by the Florida on the
evening OF July Sth. All hands were taken on
board the pirate and the vessels burned.
One hour afterwards the Florida spoke the
French bark Don Guerrero, bound TO New
York. Capt Morris, oil the pirate, sent boat
alongside, requesting the bark to carry his
passengers into port, but the captain of the
bark refused to. That night all hands slept
on deck with an old sail for a covering. Ear
ly next morning, July 9th, the Florida captur-
ed the schooner Margaret L. Davis, Captain
West. took the crew on board, and burned the
vessel.
About ii A. NJ, same day, the pirate placed
Capts. Wiuslow and West, with their mates
and one boatswain, on a small English schoon-
er which was bound to Nassau.
The Florida now carries 1870 men. Her
captain sent a letter to President Lincoln. aud
another to Admiral Farragut, stating that he
was ready for the gunboats.
= The captain OF the Florida informed his
prisoners that he had captured and burned
ten vessels during the week. He said his stay
on the coast would be short, but that he would
soon reappear.
The second gunner on the Florida is the pi-
rate who stole the Revenue Cutter in Portland
harbor.
CAPE MAY. July II.
A steamer with two masts and one smoke
stack, supposed to be man of war, came
down the coast about ten o'clock to-day, and
lay to five miles off for about two hours, and
then steamed rapidly out to sea.
