the call Of the Union voters. if noIni=
mated. But the time now before the
Lday Of election ii May il 50 limited,
that it is almost impracticable to call
ya7regular convention, andbit is diff
ficult to agree upon a method of de-
termining who shall be the candidate
of the opposition to Democracy.
The Ohio County Circuit Court,
we believe. meets on next Monday at
Hartford, at which time, quite num-
Der of prominent Union men will be
together in attendance upon the ses-
sions of the court. 1t has been sug-
gested that as many as can make it
convenient from the different counties
should meet at Hartford at that time,
and consult upon what action should
be had; and if there is sufficient de-
gree of unanimity, that a Congress
sionai candidate be agreed upon.
There is no time to be lost, and
prompt action should be had. Among
the. gentlemen who have been men
toned as worthy candidates, we
have. heard Judge JESSE w.
KINCHELoE, of Breckinridge; Hon.
WIN. ANTHONY, late Senator, Of Davi-
ess; Colonel @. C. SHANKs, of Ohio;
Judge B. L.. D. GUFFY, of Butler;
E. p CAMPBELL, Esq, of Christian;
General E. Fl. MURRAY, of Breckin-
ridge. Any of these distinguished
citizens would, we doubt not, unite
the Union elements, and give JOHN
YOUNG Brown a sharp contest, with
a good prospect of success. I.

Second Kentucky district.

The declinatfon byIGoH Eb. r.
WEIR of the nomination for Congress,
on account of continued i'll health,
leaves the Union party of the Second
Kentucky District without "a eandi-
date. But as far as we have heard an
expression of opinion, the determine
ton is very general on the part ofthe
Union men to make bold fight; and
it is by none of them conceded that
JOHN YOUNG Brown shall be allowed
to go through the canvass without an
opponent. There is disposition on
the part of both the Conservatives
and the Union men who support the
26th Of February Ticket, to lay aside all
minor differences and unite upon one
candidate in opposition to the candi-
date of the Rebel Democracy.
The publication Of BROWNS OWN
infamous letter in which he re-
fers to the "unholy war " and
advocates the shooting of Kentucky
Union soldiers has aroused spirit OF
indignation en- the part of the loyal
men of the Second District, which
will lead to a hearty union in the

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
LONDON, Dec. 5--Noon.-Copious extracts of the
Message of President Johnson, which were received
per Cable. are published here to-day. In comment
ing Tie Times has the following; The Message
shows that Mr. johnson has learned nothing. He
transcends himself in imprudence lie regards his
Office as absolute sovereigns do their prerOgatives.
He forfeits all respect 1t is hard to say where the
hope of the people of the United States ies-between
Johnson on the one side and Stevens on the other"
The other journals use similar language on the sub
iect. The reference in the Presidents Message TO
the Alabama claims coupled with Lord Stanley dis
patch to Mr. Ford on the same subject, has created
considerable dstrust in financial circles.
THE MAIL CONTRACT.
Evening-In the House of Commons this evening
the matter of the mail contract across the Atlantic
came up again for consideration. The Government
informed the House that the National Steam Nayiga-
ton Company was one Of the unaccepted bidders.
That line offered to carry the American mail between
New York and Liverpool at the rate of one penny per
half ounce but required II days for the trip without
penalties in case Of failure BY the present contract
one penny per letter is 10 be paid
