THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. We Invito attention to a communication under this head in another column. ' From wtat appears there, as weM "as from other informition from un doubted sources, It is dear! thfc duty of the friends of Internal lmprpvement, of all parties, to vindicate their principles by voting for Mr. Asm. lie ahull have our vote, at all events. CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. Messrs. Aimi and Riid, the candidates for Congress In this District, are both ultra Democrats and as such are alike unacceptable to (he Whigs i and wa must therefore decide between them, looking eblelr lo thelf respective personal claims, without regard to their political opinions. What then are their respective claims to fhepub lie confidence, Has cither of litem entitled himself to the support alike of Whigs and Democrats, by any act done in his public course, which elovates him far more than any partisan scrylce could do 1 Let us sec. In common with nine tenths of the citizens of Wilmington, I consider that a system of Internal Improvements should be adopted, provHlng alike for the Middle and Western porjions of our State, and the great mercantile interest of the East i a sys tem by which North Carolina would be freed from the commercial vassalage which she now yields alike to Virginia and South Carolina, and by which the va ried products of our Stats would find their way to the markets of the world,-through our own port. The great body of the Democrats, In the different' coun ties of this District, misled by demagogues, have however Tor years past entertained a different opin ion, and no leading politician among them had suffi cient firmness and independence to hazard his popu larity, by an effort to'rcmove this long settled preju dics. Happily, however, the question of laiernsl Im provements hss rcntjvby the patriotic and ind dendeat course of many leading Democrats beep divested of the party character sought to be given to it by the demagogues of both parties In our State, and I am satisfied (all things being considered) that there is no man in-our State who. is entitled to more credit for this result, than Mr. Ash a. By his manly and self sacrificing course on this subject, he hss done more to give a propor direction to public opin ion in this District, than I believed it possible for any man to effect. He has not tamely followed the cur rent, but he has nobly darod to oppose it hazarding his political existence for the public good ; tho only sure lest of true patriotism In Che politician , and fur nishing the only reliable pledge that the interest w . niy 'iriy ""n ' .i''" ' ' 1 1 ' ' 1 , "" ii.n ! if.' v 'y .

In the papers received yesterday from the city of Mexico, by the British steamer Great Western, which touched st Mobile Point, on the 20th inst., on her voysge from Vera Cruz to Havana, we firid the fol lowing intelligence relative to California. Our dates from the Mexican capital are to the lUth lntt. Qn the 30ih of June the steamer fwmi San Fran cisco had apt yet touched at San Bias. A letter to a gentleman In this city, dated San.

Here In Wilmington, pro fessing to be deeply interested in the Internal im provement of our State j presiding "at public meet, ingsand making flaming speeches,1 as the peculiar champion of the cause ; visiting Raleigh during the session of, the legislature as u lobby member, at the Bpechl instance of the friends Of Internal Improve ment, and while in Wilmington, nt all -times and on all occabioos, by his professions und acts, inducing us to jfsgvd htm as the peculiar fiiend and defender of a genoral and extended system. Mark his pres ent course. He is now a candidate for Congress and in tho counties of Duplin, Onslow, a part of New Hanover, ond probably in other counties, where he find3 lie people are opposed to Internal Improve ments, he. is denouncing Mr. Ashe for his zeal in this cause ; making rhe most demagogical appeals to his hesreis; telling them that as a legialaior Mr. Ashs I had squandered their money by millions : money which they tho people had earned by the sweat of their brows ; that if this system was carried out, their hard oarnings, with their patrimonies, would be torn from them, arid they and their children ulti mately made beggars. With such stuff as this hs careful to say. " I dj nut wish it to be understood " that I am altogether opposed to" Internal Improve "inents, I am in favor of a judicious system." Whst does ths mean: Is it more thsn 0 mere salvo to his conscience Is there a'mon in the Stale, it matters not how bitterly opposed to Internal Improvements he may be, who would not be willing to make a sim ilar declaration? It is borrowed from thoso pellti clans who live in Districts about equally divided on the subject of a Tariff. They are in favor of a judi cious Tariff, which is committal and non-committal, according to the construction every man is left to give to (he expression. Is not this double dealing 7 The doirjgs of the Dcmoqratic converuion which nominated Mr. Asm, and the. course of Mr. Ashs on the subject of Internal improvements, makeup the body of Mr. Reto's addresses to the people in the country. He denounces conventions, claims to be the Independent candidate, and. for this sole reason he doubtless calculates on the votes of many Whigs. He-concludes, that the Whigs, with the single pur pose of defeating the regular nominee of the Demo cratic party, will not stop to consider the respective claims of two pemocraU, but will blindly fight for the barren triumph which hla election might give. Most Unfortunately for Mr. Rtu, flu Whigs' are not generally partisans : they are more considerate, more patriotic' than his too hasty conclusion shows ha regards them. The limit to their choice (so far as ihe. political opinions of the two candidate are con- earned) la inuCP tfaly restricted, as In the cue of Hobaon'e hibraes. vet they vrj" Inquire and dellbe- rately decide according to the truo merit Pf the ic? candidates. If the nomination by a Democratic convention,' adds nothing in tho judgment of the Whigs to the dalms of the nominee, it is equally certain, ft dees not detract from those claims, which eueh nominee is entitled to, apart from his politic). Per contra, as we merchants say. Because an ambi tious aspirant for political preferment, believes that the long established usages of hie party, have (when brought to bear against him) operated to his Injury, snd ne chooses to present himself (in opposition to such psrty usages) "on his own hook," and call him self an independent candidate; it Is very certain his clsims, whatever they may be, are. made none the greater by this course-t which simply proves, (if U proves anything) that (here is a difference of opin ion between the members of the nominating con vention, and such aspirant, aa to his peculiar claitua ; and pro'ts yet further, that he wishes rhe people of the Dis'rict at large, to have art, opportunity of deci ding, whether the convention or himself has most truly estimated his fitness to represent them. An indepetuUnt candidate, in some dictionaries or possibly it may be in some newspaper, haa been, de fined " a candidate not to be depended on," and I am disponed 10 think, that aomo ten days hence Mr. Reid will be willing lo admit, that a large majority of flic people of this District have adopted this defi nition, snd practically acted on It.
