Wo but express the opibidn of when wo saythal the perfor mances gjvq'unlvcrsal satisfaction. Tho music was indeed excellent, and wall nranged. Tho trios, by Prof. Burns, proved him to bo a most perfect master of that superior instrument, the violin.

Plainfield Acadamv.—Wo call attention to the advertisement of this flourishing institution, to be found in another column.

Tut Grain.—We leurn from many farmers that the wheat and rye crops look remarkably well in all parts of this county. A plentiful harvest is anti cipated. Jodoe Irvinr.— We had hoped that the members or tho York bar would cease their opposition to Judge Irvine, after having failed in the attempt to impeach him by the Legislature, but their opposition appears more bitter than ever. On last Monday two weeks the regular Court commenced at York, and the Judge appeared on thebonch. The members of the,bar thereupon withdrew from the Court-room, - sod, having,organized, passed several resolutions o! a most insulting and Contemptuous character, and appointed a committee from their number to hand them to the Judge. In these resolutions'the mem. hors of tho bar express surprise that the Judge | should again attempt to resume his scat—they say he is incompetent and unfit—that they will not sub ject their clients to tho useless expense and vexation of jury trials before him—and request him to with* draw from the bench, &c. &c. On tho morning fob lowing the Judge made a from the bench; He paid lhal ho hud 11 received a communi cation from members of the bar, requesting him lo withdraw from his seat— that if hewer* to do so, it would be titling a dungefoue example , end that he would he the lust to ettaUieh the precedent by a with drawal, and that nothing but main force would re move him from the beneh. u Good!

So much for our county mailers, and now for n few words in reference to llio Presidential election. ted ARenVfor'pro tiona and making l W olflcQ, N.W., i Icljiliift. Many of the Federal journals entertain Hie hope that the great Democratic party will bo split up into tactions, after the holding of the Baltimore National Convention. .They appear to think that the Demo cratic nominees for President and Vice President will'be opposed by portions of the parly. Wo are not told by these Federal journals why it is that they ! suppose- a 'split will lake place in the Democratic I ranks—they make the assertion without offeiing to j prove it, and wo aro icd to believe that our, opponents | are pursuing this kind of game more for the purpose of diverting attention from their own troubles (Hon for anything else. But. if the really believe that any portion of the groat Democratic party can pursue so suicidal a coufso as,to oppose (ho clioico of the National Convention, we think we aro safe in saying they will be sorely disappointed. Will Democrats not assist, by their voles, to disap- I point our adversaries? -Certainly they should, and most certainly they will. ■ No one worthy the name ufa Democrat, will hesitate in this important matter —no one who lias the interests .and the honor of his country and his party at heart, will fail to give his support—his'firm, decisive, efficient support, to the person nominated by the National Convention,.bo he .whom be may, - Look at the list of names that will come before the Convention for this high and exulted station. LoolNl them ,wb say, and then tell ns why either is not worthy the support of the entire demo-1 cracy of the Union. Before that Convention will he presented the names.of Bucuanan, Dallas, Cass, and Woodbury. Are not all of these giants in intellect, and failhflil defenders of the people’s rights—entitled to the Arm and honest support of the ureal Democratic* parly 7 Who in thoabovo list can be pointed out that has not labored zealously and with effect, “through evil ns well as good report,” for the principles, of democracy Not one. Will any Democrat in Old Mother Cumberland, any Democrat in tho Stale or Union, refuse to support either of the above gentlemen, should the Democratic National Convention declare him the candidate? Wo believe we can answer for the sturdy democracy nf tins coun ty and of the State, by saying not one! The days of deception have passed away forever—cooti Mtinsi log cabins and hard cider, can never again lead the peo ple, to forsake their principles—nor .can the ladies (God bless them,) even kite a Presidential aspirant into power. And we will venture tho assertion thus far in advance, that either of the above persons will carry Pennsylvania by tweotyfive thousand majori ty, if ho be the nominee of the parly. We have no doubt of it whatever—the old Keystone Is democratic by twenty-five thousand and more, if a full turn out of tho farmers, tho mechanics, and laborers can be had. Let us therefore ** determine to conquer, and conquer wo will.” Let 41 union and harmony” be our watch words” —“everything for the causo and nothing for men,” and our political enemies will soon loam the utter-impossibility to prostrate the democracy of (his confederacy of Stales. To the democracy of Cum bcrland and of tho State we would say— organize voun forces. JVbto, while you arc casting about for your candidates fur county offices, now Is your time to choose “good men and true,” to be supported by you, and now is the proper lime to organize your selves, so.that you con support tho men you may nominate with effect and determination.

Wo have to-day further proceed logs of tlio Court of Inquiry appointed to investigate thbcharges against Gen.

Scott in this investigation Is timrooteriiod by arrogance and suporcillious boaring lowarda both bis superiors and his anbordinnles, nnd his language ia of an insulting description in reference to his govern, ment. Ho insults Ills subordinntos.bbcunsc they up pooled lo the President, wliioji ho regards as an 00l of insubordination, and then turns round and is guilty of the samo insubordination by insulting hie superior, the President, for .listening to the Appeal,. General Scott’s military fame must bo.tright indeed* to.renw dersuch glaring faults and inconsistencies invisible; Tlit} Case of sa«»jor General tlftostfv . , ' After the members had been qualified-in this case, (Son. Qcott rose and road a paper selling forth at, length the nature of the charges brought against Gen. Pillow, complaining of iho “release before trial , Of an officer. Arrested, by him, and finally giving, hip l reasons for withdrawing, as he therein did, the cliar-j ges against Gen. Pillow. '' . . i Gen. Pillow took exceptions to the spirit of the pa* | per, protested against the withdrawal of the charger, and signified Ins Intention to reply to the paper sub* I milled by Gen. ScoU, on to-morrow; to which the Court assented.. .... , •. . Gen. Worth ihch rose* and informed lh6 Court liiat! he should ask to place upon-' the,record.a paper rcla* tiVe to the one just read* He could prepare it in an { hour, or by'to-niorrow morning. ( 1 Gcn.Scott here raised a question of order as to the right of. Gen. Worth to, address .Iho Court. Tha queslion becamo the subject of some exciting convcr sution between the President of, iho Court and Gen. Worth*. . j. . i Gen. Scott subinillod'to.the Court the following document: ■ > •» In reference to the construction pul by .the Court on the orders of the Presidont.of l|io United Stales, under which it is assembled—that .only the conduct of Major Gem Scott, Major Gon. Pillow and BreVcl LieuuColontfl, Duncan, as,sot forth in.the written ac j cusations against them, 'respectively, is. to be in quired into, and not that of Bv’l Major Gen. Worth, against whom there, was also a written charge laid, before the President of the United Stales. And, in reference, also, to the loiter of Brevet Muj. General Worth, to the Court, withdrawing his appeal or ac. cusalion against the said Scott, but leaving its venom, mainly on the ground that the President had done him, tho said Worth, ‘full and ample justice.”* [The said Scott several times essayed to "address the Court, but was as often slopped and requested to reduce his remarks to writing t with that decision or request of the Court, ho how succinctly complies os 1 follows:]* ! •••_••__ “Mr. President and Gentlemen oj tht Court,—^ Here* in tho Capital of Mexico; conquered by the Amen* can arms under my command, I find myself but a prisoner at Urge—the chief criminal before this Court. Deeply wounded, my military pride is cast down into the dust—not by tho public enemy—hut by the long arm of power from home. All that could bo done in that quarter, to injure, to degrade and humble me, hero and elsewhere, has been accom plished.-'But, sustained by iho Almighty arm—feel, ing myself strong in.conscious rectitude—strong in mind and body—strong in all tho .moans of sclf- I defence, I bid defiance to my accusers; I shall not I plead, the letter withdrawing the appeal against me* in bar of trial. Nay, I challenge tho writer of that letter to come forward and do his worst But, no doubt, bo thinks—and with reason—that he has done hie worft. Here* in view pfthe enemy, he has caused me to bo struck down'from the high ond honorable command of a most gallant and triumphant-army.^— He has caused me* First.«To bo pre-judge<h»nd punj ished at home, ond then to be brought forward.and tried again* while he* my junior* has been prc-acqmt led ond rewarded. The President has*we arc exul lingly told, done him ‘full and ample justice.* Yes, sir, in double measure: justice!© his pride, and jus* lice to his vengeance. Let him, Mr. President, go forth rejoicing* in the plehiludo of Executive favor. Without envying him his honors,.! shall, at the end l of this Court, have done with him forever. Again, Mr. President, I repeat* my altitude is that of once." .... i Gen. Worth rose and begged permission to make a few remarks, but was intcrru(tod by Gen. Scott, who stated liiat os he Was riot before the Court Jio had no right whatever to addrfess 11: . i. The President remarked that such irregularities could not be permitted, upon which, Gen. Scott de sired the President not to address his reraarhs.to him —at the some time looking towards. Gen. Worth, as if they should have been intended for him, [Gen. W.] Several Jetlcte word Ihtfn read* which we have not room-for, in reference Id the trial; and the reasons assigned by Gcn.Scott for withdrawing the charges against Gun. Pillow. The following : noto from Gon. Worth pretty effectually replies to Gon. Scott’s in* Bulling femarks. It Is bool and to the purpose: Mr. President and Cfentlemen of the Couit i Having without reservation* in my loiter.to, this Court, dated Uioldlh Instant, and for reasons therein stated, withdrawn my charges against Muj. General Scoll.il is with feelings of deep regret that I find myself called upon again to allude to this subject ; but Iho paper this day presented, ond road, to this Court, renders it my, duly to do so. If I am jmsun-, dorstood of misrepresented, hero or elsewhere, in ro ' spect to the course 1 have, felt it my duly to pursue,! it is my misfortune—that course was the dictate of my own licart*-*lls propriety confirmed by my, own \ l*shall say nothing in relation to the appeal of Moj. General Scott to sympathy, or the altitude of defiance he has thought proper to assume before this Court— this is, at nll.limos.a mailer of taste, and is alike the resort oflho innocent and the guilty. ... Nor shall 1 remark upon the violent denunciations he has been pleased lolevcl against his Government, whoso commission ho bears, ond whoso lawful, de cision ho Is bound in duly .and in honor to. respect; neither shall i.allude :lo tflo origin of tho difficulty between General Scott and myself—tho facts of the, caso are before the public, and I am willing tp abide the 'impartial judgment of my countrymen. 1 incicly propose to set Major General Scott right in a-few errors,of foci* into which an excess of Tool ing, or malign influences, seem to have hurried him, General Scott soys 1 have caused him “lo be pro* judged and punished at home, and then to bo brought 1 forward to be tried again, while ho, (moaning Gen. j Worth,) my junior, has been prc-acquillod and re-, warded.” - 1 . • If General Scott means to soy that his Government has “ prejudged” and “ punished 4 ’ him, ho cither mis states or misunderstands its action. j It will be soon by reference to the facts already be fore the public, that the General in-chief attempted Ito stifle mV accusations, by shifting himself, by an exorcise oi power, from the - position of on accused, 1 to that oflho prosecutor, which if permitted, would bo j to establish a precedent of service most folal to the ; rights of every member of the profession, at guaran -1 toed to Ibo humblest, by the rules and articles of war. 1 appealed to tho Government for protection against what Iconceived to bo Injustice on tho part ot Moj. General Bcolt towards myself—as I had on unques tionable right to do—and for that I was arrested.— This Court has beemordored to Investigate the fools, In reference to tho mutter of my appeal. Tho usages and interests of tho service - , as well os the rights of tho parlies concerned, requited that' Major General Scott should bo suspended from command, ponding (helnvestigation, • * ** **• . , \ Where,then, Is lobe found tho “ prc-judgcdmonl*' and “punishment” so bitterly complained of? Cor- Cahily riot In the action of the Government—and even if found (befe, wherein ani l responsible for It? But* If General Scott /naans that public opinion has “pro. judged” ond “ punfchcd" him, still less cab 1 bo hold accountable for the decision of llmllribunol—lt judges nien according to thir acts. Public opinion is a se vere, but upright judge, before whom “ tha Innocent have nothing to fear—ttio guilty nothing to hope.” As regards my own ease, 1 have nol-beon M pro* acquitted,” nor haVo I been “rewarded.” Tbo Clittrgcs of Major General Scott against mo have noTbcon dismissed, nor do I dosfre that they should bo. lam prepared (o meet not only the speci fic charge preferred against mo,-but also that “other probable multorr f wherewith 1 havn been menaced.

In reference to the "toward” spoken of by Mai r General Scott, he can only mean my assignment! command, according to my. brevet of Major G en(> , , by the President oflhb United States, If correct I this conjecture,-the allusion is most unfortunate: 1 asmucli as the President by this act, only did in a cordunce with law, what Gen.
