Oroflanj litnfprthnl ol He pod,. ‘ b THE WHIG HARVEST ME MEETING. A Total and Magnificent Failure 1 Tho Whig Harvest Homo Mooting'which was to have taken place in Carlisle, on Monday, was a com* ploto and total-future! From the extraordinary efforts nudo to get tip a “demonstration,** we were prepared to sea at least a respectable number of {Whig* assemble hero on that day. But wb worn inofll agreeably,, disappointed, Tho appeal*'of tho |//era!d-flho flaming hand-ibilla—half price tickets .on (he railroad— free dinner-court week—all would not do. The people would not and did not come,— Never have wo known eo complete, so magnificent a failure as this. Honestly speaking, wo really at times pitied (he Whig loaders of Carlisle—they wore each long faces, end looked daggers. Poor fol lows!—wo “rather guess” (hoy are beginning to realize tho fact (hat Scott is no go in Cumberland. Early in the morning (ho (from and fife were hoard on (he streets, beating for recruits. After drumming round town for several hours, without success, threoadditional drummers Were added to the recruiting parly, ahd the “rapping*" wore continued with increased vigor, much to the annoyance of the court, then in session, and our citizens generally.— Alter belaboring tho drums most lustily for several hours, tho recruiting party was called in, and a few bold individuals, unknown to our citizens, attempted to organize a meeting in a corner of tho market bouse. Accordingly, Ex-Governor Uilner, common* dcr-in-chicf of tho Federal forces in tho over mem orable Buckshot war, was called to tho chair. After organizing, Judge Johnston of Ohio, tho same man who was so unanimously licked for Governor of that Slate, a few years since, mounted a meat block and commenced to harangue tho few spectators and boys present. Wo heard a portion of this gentleman's speech, and all who listened to him will agree with | us that ireiucceotrea raoßraorairamy in one tnmg— he proved himself a blackguard of the first water.— Hia speech was the most obscene, profane, nonsensi cal production (hat could possibly be conceived.— Judging from hia remarks, he must bo of opinion that the Whigs of Cumberland are a miserable ig norant rabble of b'hoye, for he certainly would not think of delivering such a speech before men of sense or men of morality. No wonder, indeed, that such a mao was defeated for Governor by 15,000 majority in the Whig Stale of Ohio. Tho most laughable scene of all, was the attempt to got up a procession. The Whigs in Carlisle, in anticipation of a very largo meeting, had appointed a Chief Marshal with aids. A banner was lo be presented by the ladies,and the Chief Marshal, wear- ing n flaming yellow acarf, and batoon in hand, ap peared at the place of the preaonlalion of the banner, in the hope—vain hope I—that ho would bo able lo form a procession. After tho banner had been re coived by the few men and boys who bad been in waiting for it, the Chief Marshal gave orders lo “full into lino, and follow him lo the market house."— Accordingly he placed himself in tho front, and ■•marched away" in fine stylo, the six drome and one proceeded in good order lo the first corner, or crus sing, when the Marshal, the six drummers, tho one fjfer,and six boys look one tide of tho street—the Primer men,(about a hundred strong,) who b»d been spectators at the presentation of the banner, look tho other. The Marshal and his drummers proceeded down street, to llio no small amusement of our chi zons. Arriving at (ho market house, ho considered it about time to use his brief authority and give an order. JIo therefore turned gracefully on hia heel, ond waa about (ogive (he order "into line, loft wheel," when ho discovered for the first time that his follow ers had loft him. The boys laughed and screamed like young wild cats, and (he Marshal no doubt,/eft “all over in spots." Such was the “procession." It certainly afforded considerable fun for the boys, if nothing else. But, wo had not intended to devote so much space lo llio .object of 11.0 “ greed failure." Afler our may liovo more tVaay.

SCOTT’s DULL.VINCJ DISPOSITION. Tlio people of the United States will remember the almost innumerable quarrels that Gen. Scott has had with brother officers of the army end others. Even in the commencement of his. Military career, us a captain, ho quarrelled with nearly alt tiio officers wtlli whom tie was associated, Which ended in hio suspension from (ho army for ono year, for defaming a superior officer, and applying to his own use (lit proceeds of two month's pay of his company, for some fourteen months. When ho waa reinstated in' the army he quarrelled with Gen. Wilkinson, ami wrote several most rancorous assaults on that excip ient officer. Subsequently ho quarrelled with Gcr. Jackson, and when the old hero castigated him ii the most severe manner, and challenged him, Gen. Scott declined a meeting on conscienlibus groundi. About a month afterwards, ho wrote an abusive ar ticle against Gov. Clinton, of New York. The Got. ernor published (ho card, and Gon. Scott challenged him lo fight a duel,although ho know the oonatiluliur of tiro Stale of which Clinton was (hen Governor, prohibited him from fighting. Clinton retorted'upon him by reminding him that ho had no claim lo call him out until he had accepted the challenge of Gtn, Jackson, (hen in his drawer. f , Gen. Scolt next quarrelled with God. Macomb ond Gen. Gaines, and also with President Adams, al though Mr. Adams was hia political friend, and so outrageous did his conduct towards Mr. Adamy bo come, that he, while President of the United command : ‘ Dexartmrnt op Waa, ) Nov.
