THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 23, 1813. County Convention. We hope our friends in the different townships will not fail to have their respective townships fully represented in tho County Convention, which meotfl in this city on Tuesday, 4th of July, to nominate candidates to bo supported by tho Whigs at our next election. J k Lectures on tho SJrrniion. Mr. Field's lecture this evening is upon tho crea-tion of vegetables, animals, and the varieties of the human species. Tho subject of tho Lecture for Friday (to-morrow) evening, is, tho proper signification of Adam, Eve, Garden of Eden, Rivers, and Trees of the Garden. Mr. Field is a man of thought, of science, and, whatever may be thought of his positive declarations of the operations of natural laws and of the truths of science, or of his novel applications ol those trutna and outward exigences to tho phenomena of mind, his lectures arc very interesting, and he makes himself clearly understood. We suppose, of course, that in investigating the subject which ho seems to have so much at heart, fur the truth's sake, lie lias had due reference to the original, in considering the import of words, sentences, and figures ; but, in our understanding of his system, it seems to us that a true translation of the word "light," in tho expression "Let there bo light," would militate against it. Wo wero informed, in a late conversation with ono of tho first scholars and philosophers of this country and ago, that the proper signification of tho word rendered "light" is lightning electricity, or the el ements of natural light, according to the theory of solar light and heat as entertained by many of the philosophers of tho present day. An tingrnti-ful Mercriuiry. There is a fierce contest going on between Col. Mo- dill and Dr. Old, for tho nomination as candiduteof the party in tltc Fuirfield district, which was so constituted ns to cool down the Dank fervor of tho lat ter. Each of the aspirants arc actively canvasaing tho district, and both public speeches and private whispers are had in requisition, as the large and small arms of the combatants. It seems to us, (though of course M none of our business, ") that the colonel is rather greedy in fighting for tho Doctor's sop, guaranteed to him by the sovereignty of the par ty in solemn Tin-Pan. But, should lite party in the district repudiate their obligations to the Doctor, ho may console himself with tho reflection that ho has had the honor of feeling one of tho principles of his party. And, "sharper than a serpent s tooth " must bo to him, becauso so true as well as ungrateful and unkind, the following expression of tho pres ent editor of the Lancaster Englc, whom he warmed into life aud consequence, and who as editor of the Circlcvillo Watchman was last full and winter his bosom confidant, tool, and most obsequious lauder! This mercenary, now that he is in Fairfield, where Cot. Medill and his warmest and most influential and moneyed friends reside, has now forgotten tho Doctor's greatness, in his fawning obsequiousness to his rival, and thus gives a cut at his old friend and nominee for Governor, United Stutcs Senator, Representative in Congress, 8 into Senator, and then, last and lowest, Representative in the Legislature: Tho Watchman ' his a high opinion of Cot.. Medill, s a man and public servant,' but inclines to favor the principle of dotation in office. Hut our Devil (who by the by, is no fool,) says that the term " Rotation" is now differently understood in different places and it frequently meaua rotating1 out of ono part if into another, and thnco into the Legislature. Congress, ur any uther cilice winch the rotator can get." Verily, the path of the demagogue has its thorns, and the course of the unprincipled and the mercenary gives lessons to the wise and understanding. Mrcond 'nrr tonal IHMrtcl Although no convention has been held in this dis trict, it seeuiB to bo agreed among our friends that L. 1). Campbell is to he tho candidate, while our op poncnta seem to bo equally agreed upon Hon. J. B. Weller. We take the fallowing paragraph from tho last Hamilton Intelligencer: The Old Candidates. Tho Congressional con test for this district is to bo between the same candi-diitea as in 1810. The truck will be run over by Messrs. Weller aud Campbell, and their friends stand ready to givo them a fair race. The contest will bo a close one ; but must result in the success of the lutter. Mr. C'imhell was but a few votes behind his competitor in 140, and since that many preat changes have taken place. It will require a caruful and close organization to ensure success, and we must go nt it with a determination to conquer. We have the voles, and we will use them in a way that will astonish the Locofocoos of the second District. Trnniirt. Spirited indeed is tho content going on in this Slato, which seems to be conducted mainly upon the great national questions of the day. Tho two candidates for Governor arc, in truly Republican style, publicly discussing these questions before the people. They arc both men of great talent and pop. ularity with their party, res ec lively. Tho Ioco candidate, ex -Governor Polk, however, is something of i demagogue ; aud therefore, though lie may be able to exert great weight with superficial reason-era by his tact and evasions, often lays himself open to such exposures by his talented and prinripted competitor as would make the face of a man of honorable mind and feeling burn with shame, and must havo a most powerful influence with the thinking and honest. An instance of this, occurred as fol lows: About a year since, in a speech at Athens, Gov. Polk had denounced the Whigs in Congress as having laid a tax upon tea and coflee, (a measure which, it wilt bo recollected. Mr. Woodbury, Van Huron's Secretary of the Treasury, had recommend' cd, but which was not adopted,) and had made a strong appeal to tho Indies to resent this disposition to tax their favorite beverage. Y ell, on the 8th mst,, the to candidates spoke at this placo, when the Whig candidate, Governor Junes, brought this speech up to the recollectiouof the audience in general, and his opponent in particular, when ho had the cruelty to produce the proof that this indignant enemy of a tea and colfuo tax, Gov. Polk, had him-himstf proposed this measure, in Congress, in l&ii, when wo had an overflowing Treasury! Tho cor-rtwimndcntuf tho Nashville Whig says" Tho roars of laughter which this circumstance, together with one of Ju)ui best anecdotes, produced, irritated Polk so much that tho effort was visible in the countenances of his friends and the day was wound up amid shouts of laughter by the audience." It is the duty of all good Whigs, not only to maintain good ordor and discipline among tho friends of tho country, aud encourage each other to perseverance and vigorous action ; but also to keep a watchful eye upou tho condition, projects, hopes, and fears of the enemy. Iu a conflict with an enemy already dispirited, without confidence, seeking up and down for a leader broken into a dozen separate clans, and on the vorge of mutiny ; what Whig can foil to tee in these tilings, tho harbinger of certain victury ? Wo havo long known that there was a most fearful schism iu the Locofoco party: that they wero much divided as to how far tho doctrino of destruction should be practically applied to our institutions ; in short, that in addition to this, there was a most rancorous hatred prevailing among many of the managers heretofore engagod in conducting the operations of that scourge of the nation ; but we had not supposed until tho subjoined circular fell into our hands, that any considerable portion of the high priests and ruling eldort were prepared to confess tho utter im-potoncy of Mr. Van Burcn, and urge the fact that he was indeed a mill-stono about the neck of the party. But so it is. Although professing none of tho spirit of an ancient prophet, these men see tho hand writing so plain upon the wall, that even the tear ot the Guillotine is not sufficient to deter (hero from raising the voico of solemn warning. The following communication will speak tor itself. It is not the work of an obscure collection of ignorant malcontents a freak of a few weak men, whoso location has precluded them from an examination of the real sentiments of their party, and the signs of the times. Nor have they been prompted by any in considerate attachment to a neighbor or personal friend. No ; it is a movement dictated by a hope that tho measure they urge, may savo tho whale party from a universal discomfiture, by the selection of a new and untried man, in place of a run down and bankrupt politician. Who, let us ask, aro these men, who thus anxious ly adviso the abandonment of the support of Mr. Van Burcn ? They are tho grand sachems ol tha party tho elite of the clan men who, in the palmy days of Locofoco misrule, shared its greatest honors, and directed its most destructive energies. But wo will no longer detain our readers from the perusal of tho precious document. Here it is: Cincinnati, 22d May, 1813. Sir : Believing tint the time is near at hand, when the popular voico in Ohio will be regarded with singular deference and respect, in relation to the indi vidual, who siiaii do me next candidate oi uic great Democratic party ot the nation lor the ('residency, we lake tho liberty respectfully to suggest, for your con sideration, the name of LEWIS CAMS, in connexion ith that high ofhee. In doititf this wo would not, oven by implication, be thought to disparage tho claims of any one of tho distinguished citizens of like political sentiments, who have been named ry their menus lor the ciuct Mngistrncy ; for however strong our preferences may be for Gen. Cass, we atiil shall feel ourselves bound, as Democrats, to support any other person that may be designated by the National Convention, tor thut important trust Wo do but exercise a right, which we hold in common with alt free citizens, when wo attempt to concentrate public opinion upon the man of our choice. We arc awaro Mint, in advocating the pretensions or any other man tlmii Mr. Van Huron, we run counter to some of tho strongest prejudices of our nature for, as with Unit gentleman wo wcro defeated in MO, so with him our pride whispers we should conquer in 44. But is it tho part of wisdom to risk all the great and fundamental principles of the Democratic party, upon ine lornines oi an inuiviuuai wuusc success, in tho event of his nomination, would he extremely problematical? Mr. Van Huron has never yet obtained the vote of Ohio for the Presidency j and it is firmly believed by our most sagacious politicians, that he cannot, in any contingency, succeed either iu this State or 1'cnnsUvanii. In Indiana, his prospects are still worse. A reference to the former voles of these Staler, combined with present indications, places tins beyond doubt. Independent of all this, the feelings now manifested by Mr. Calhoun's friends, seems to deprive us of all hope of their aid in support of Air. Van Huron. On tho contrary, Mr. Calhoun has no chance in the West. With General Com as our candidate, wo hnzard nothing in saying that tho democracy would carry all these great Stales by overwhelming majorities. In all the essentia qualities oi a hero, patriot and statesman, wc trust that you will agree with us that General Co is in no degree behind any of his com petitors for tho Presidential Chair, and he has tho additional advantage of bemoan especial object of dislike to the aristocracy ot hnglaml, on account ot his successfully contending for his country's rights in the dominion of Ihe seas. Briefly premising these matters, we now solicit your opinion in regard to the expediency of Collins a meeting of the friends of Gen. Cass, to bo holdeu at Columbus, and also in relation to ihe Unit at which it would ho most advisable to hold it tor the pur- Cose of adopting measures to promote his nomination y tho Democratic National Convention. If you approve of such a meeting, you will please adviso us, by an early reply to this circular, and stale tho prob able number that will attend such a meeting from your county. Wo believe the great mass of the pro- pit to bo with um in tln umtlur, and thrit if suittiblo steps dc iftKeu tor the development u puunc opinion, there can he no doubt as to the result. Wc would not adviso to a State Convention, however, unless it can bo made respcctahlo in point of numbers ; and recent advices assure us that a movement of this sort in our great State, will imuiedi;itely be followed by Pennsylvania and Indiana ; and if so, the result would ho decisive, aud tho puty he disembarrassed of the didicultics which now threaten to overwhelm us.

But Mr. Butts, in a rejoinder, fully sustuins the charge by exhibiting tho records of the Court Oh! my countrymen, into what a sad dilemma hns the want ot a little foresight and reflection plunged our country!!"Now it is curious that this same Langdon, who taunts his friends with such a mournful exclamation as tho ahove, is the self same individual who hns frequented hero, begging the interest of tho President's friends in procuring him an office, varying anywhere between Secretary of State and Ligfdhouse Keeper! Believing him a traitor, and knowing his incapacity, he was refused the aid he asked. Ilis tender sensibility was shocked at this sudden turn of things, l lis romantic hopes ot high ofhee and extensive patronage, were all blasted in a moment Tho ghosts of the counsels he would have given of the treaties ho would have made, and tlio glory he would have gained all flew by his excited fancy ! Needy, disappointed, desperate what could he do? Liko Timoti of Athens, ho turned from our city, vowing eternal vengeance ! He retired to the peaceful liltlo Covington, determined with Richard, if he conld not be a lover, he leouMbc a villain. With his inky dagger ho watches his opportunity for a stab. It comes ! Butts' letter is published, lie glories in this fit instrument of his vengeance for he sees in its tone the malice of a villain, and finds in its style the beauties of a blackguard ! The above is from that most mendacious of all scurrillous prints, the Old School Republieant published at Columbia, tho infamous course of which has been such as to give to it the title of "Tyler organ in the rest." Who could possibly lmve supposed that the gen-tleman from whose pen the above respectable notico emanated was, not long since, our warm, disinterest' cd friend, in profession, at least Yet such is the fict; and what do you surmise we have done to forfeit his good esteem ? It is this : Wo hnve not lauded John Tyler, nor sanctioned his diabolical aposta-cy of professed principles, nor his betrayal of the party which gave him the political standing he now so signally disgraces. We at first attempted to vin dicate and sustain his administration, as far as it was consistent for an honest man so to do, hoping he had a little virtuo yet remaining wo wero loth to eive up ono in whom toe Whin had reposed contidencc aud under whose banner wc had done service. But when wc saw tho warmed serpent uncoil his trench- thus tonn and show in poisonous tangs, we siiould have been a pnrticeps eriminis in the prostration of our country a honor, to havo continued that support. Since then, w e have spoken of him and Ins perfidious policy as mildly as wo could; the deformity of tho mind and of the man has been shielded beneath the official robes of President of tho United States. This villanoui attack, so unmerciful, and basely personal, exhibits to tho life the true character of the Islmiaelitc of tho Old School Republican, thut lie is a calumniator by nature, and a libeller by practice. Reputable Kill tors, of whatever party, are seldom found so devoid of courtesy, or gentlemanly de portment, as to mnku a personal attack of this Kind, without great provocation; and wlmt is our offence ? Why simply because wo gave credence to the state ment s of an honorable man under oath, defining John Tyler's position. Wo have never spoken of tho Old School Republican or its editors disparaging ly, but have ever treated them with kindness and re spect, mistaking them for gentlcnuiu Tho principal editor, however, Iti-rnuiR h in llrolhcr-in-l.nw To un mnlmioiia, aitiitg jlaliuw, feels himself licenced to deal out his viper-slang, indiscriminately, against thoso who happen to differ with him in their opinion of tho individual who is, unfortunately, placed in the Presidential chair. Where is the man, or the press, that pursues an hon- Cit and honorable course, that has not received a venomous attack from this common foul-mouthed slanderer ? For one, we can truly say, that wc esteem a notice of this kind far more flattering, and decidedly more honorable, than anything ot on approbatory charac ter, emanating trniu tho source it does. A corrupt fountuin can send forth nothing but bitterness and corruption, and whenever we see an individual praised by tho Old School Republican, it is at once an evidence of Ins tot il dopmvity of huarU&nd that he is a titling instrument for their puriiosp, and is fully nroimred to sell himself to sttan, arid di country to tier enemies, lor a mess ot pottage, and become an intriguing knavo lor executive tavor. It we were ever find enough to ho flattered into a solicitation for any oil ice, the highest compliment that could have been bestowed, was a refusal for it supposed us too linn and upright to do their rascally work now, no honest man either asks for or receives office from John Tyler. As to this office-seeking, our ambition and tTf-esteem liavo never led us into anything vory extravagant; we wore never a candidate for Secretary of State" nor State Auditor, nor on) thing like it Can the ambitious, restless spirit of Dr. Miller say as much? Perhaps thu Doctor's memory ia a little trearherous, like John Tyler's principles, he may havo forgotten that at the commencement of the Ohio Le gislature n December.

The Tariff Threatened Hpenl Vim Burnt at bis eld tricks Maalhera toifs lo be bought by Iho sacrifice of Northern I,ibcrilra - There are few so stolid as not to perceive that tho operation of the Tariff has already resulted in con ferring the most substantial benefits upon the country. There are few who will do such violation to common sense, or to the prevailing impressions of tho public mind, as to deny that it it has tailed in any respect to lay the foundation uf permanent prosperity, it has been in consequence of its apprehended short lived duration, from the throats of the Locofoco party oqthe occasion of its passage, and reiterated from time to time since. The Tariff has effected everything that was predicted of it by its most sanguine friends. It has turned the tido of commercial balaifces iu our favor set hundreds of factories in operation at the cast, by which employment has been given to great numbers stopped the importation and consumption of foreign goods, and piled up foreign specio mountain high in New York. Much has been said by political writers about what would ho tho result of a restoration of conjidence. Well, confidence has been restored, in a partial measure: witness its fruits in tho almost uncximplcd rise of stocks in tho New York Market The extraordinary fact that wo aro exporting cotton fabrics to England! that within ninety days we havo sent MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in value to markets hitherto inaccessible, can be attributed to no other influence than that of tho "odious flliig Tariff!" To the samo causes, and to none other, can be imputed tho rise in flour, and other Western staples. Iu short none can question the important conclusion, that to the Tarijf and to tho Tariff aloim, are we indebted for whatever of improvement there is visible or felt in the business affairs and prospects of the country ; or that, if we could associate tlio idea of permanency with the existing state of things, we should go rapidly forward in a new career of public and individual prosperity. But, large as is tlio measure of public good already accomplished, and incalculable as arc the advantages which might be reasonably anticipated from the undisturbed continuance of the present order of things, a fueling of gloom, of uncertainty and solicitude ia cast over the community, by the reflection that political combinations and interests aro in the ascendant, which arc undisguised )y hostile to tho protection of American labor and capital, and stand pledged by repeated and voluntary assurances to the public, to repeal tlio Tariff as speedily as possible after Ihe meeting of the next Congress. Tho direful event is approaching. In six months Congress meets. The repeal of the present Tariff is then certain, unless, in tho mean time, the People come to the rescue, and by suitable expressions of their will, avert the threatened calamity. This is the only means that can save the country. The ensuing elections will tell the story, whether the people of the North arc ready and willing again to be sacrificed to southern cupidity for the benefit of northern Domagogues and Free Traders. Wo know that when the menaces which followed the establishment of the present Tariff, wcro first thrown out, they wero not heeded as they deserved. They wero considered merely as ihe ebullitions of political rage and disappointment, and tho intervening time it was thought would cool the ardor which could so freely, hut ineffectually expend itself, under the excitement ol the moment iheso menaces, nevertheless, were true bodings. As tho crisis approaches, they are renewed in tones too audible to bo misunderstood. Van Burcn, tho defeated candidate for tho Presidency in 1810, again aspires to Ihe station from which ho was then hurled by an indignant leople. The price of Southern support, indispensa-Io to his success, is tho Reveal ol' the Tariff! and the destruction of the rising prosperity of the North. There aro daily developments which show inconltst-iblv that this is a "fixed fact" Within the week past the Albany Argus has added "continuation strong" to establish tho point if confirmation is needed. It copies conspicuously, and without disclaimer, from tho leading anti-Tariff organ of the South, the Richmond iJmuirer, the loudest denunciations of the Tariff, and the most uncompromising demands for its repeal. Observe the following extract from an article commenting upon Mr. Webster's plan of Treaty stipulations : "Whatever Messrs. Webster and Tyler are proposing to effect by the Treaty, lei us not be taken off from the scent of the Tariff.

Look at that, friends of Northern Industry and of Protection, and then say if you aro willing to see the Taritfof Id 12 demolished. If not, you must prepare to make your voices heard in November. This little paragraph, too, discloses another precious piece of information. Mr. Van Huron is playing his old double-faced game. His Indiana letter, intended fur the northern aud western market, was loo noncommittal for tfie South. Not daring to trust to the " generous confidence " of ihe free trade men in that section, he is writing private Utters tore-assure them of his fid witty, wirtia)ly compromised by his public communications. We now learn what wo before surmised, Ilia tho DISAPPROVES of theTaritfAct, which has been attended with such strikingly salutary results, both in PRINCIPLE and DETAIL! Thanks to the incautious zeal of his southern friend, whose anxiety to relieve (he suspected integrity of his candidate lias led to this disclosure. " Forewarned, forearmed," tlio people will "head" and crush this conspiracy against their rights and interests. Syracuse A '. Sttde Journal. Mr, Vsm llurra Hrrl Mrcnlnr, Ac. It has been notorious in Ohio, fur several months past, that the master spirits of Locofocoism, such at Gov. Shannon,- Spalding & Co. are by no means fa-vorablo lo the nomination of Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency.

AlllOHU BAKU. Wool. The effect of the lato Tariff on the importation of cheap Wool, may be judged from the following, from the Mass. Spy. At Boston, From Sept 1, 1B4I, to March lbs. value Ul, Jtil'i, there was imported 2,852,500 $11)7,110 From Sept. 1, 18-12, to March Ml, If it, there was imported 5:13,445 25,010 Making a difference of 2,:J1'J,055 $172,100 Here it will be seen, that the importation of tho low priced wool has fallen oil' more than four-fifth j in amount and nearly seven-eighths in value, during1 the firnt seven months under the new Tsrilf. According to the census of 1 10, the number of sheep in the United States was U,31),'!74 ; and we are sorry to say that they yielded only U.'),rJ02,ll pounds of wool, or an average of about 0110 pound thirteen aud a half ounces a hend. Allow, as wus probably the case, that all the lumbs were counted as sheep, and that they were not sheared, still tlio average per fleece could not have exceeded Ui lbs. This poor return being less than one-half tho aver-ago weight of fine wool fleeces, and one fourth of coarse wool flcoces in England indicates a lamentable lack of knowledge in conducting the important biiKiness of sheep husbandry. Why is it, thut our farmers aro so unwilling to improve their flocks, and receive two pounds of wool nt the same expense of keep that now yields thorn hut one? Is it not plain that with proper attention, attainable skill in sheep breeding, and with our unlimited cheap pastures and rich virgin soil, that wo can grow any desirable quantity of wool at a lest cost per pound than it can be grown in overstocked Kurope ? The last census shows that over UOO.000 lbs. of cotton wero grown in tho Southern portion of Illinois in the year 1840, and we know that sheep can be wintered there with very little, if not without any feeding. In summer flocks could be driven north over the continuous prairies of that State. There is a fine flock of pure blood merinos kept at Albion, only ten miles from Graysville un the Wabash river, which were imported 25 years ago from Spain to England, and from thence after only one year's stay, to the prairies of Southern Illinois. Tho wool of this flock which has been acclimated, now more than a quarter of a century, was stapled at Lowell last season and pronounced equal to the best American wool in the market This clip was the product of animals feeding on tho wild or natural grass of West' ern prairies, Illinois alone could turn off annually one hundred millions of pounds of wool equal to tho best in tlio world ; and tlio hydraulic power at the outlet of Iako Eno which is unlimited, and costs literally nothing, is the place for its manufacture.
