General J^cott.
The following tribute to the character of Gen
< rul Scott is the more interesting as being a
voluntary offering to merit, by a great and
good man. at a time and on an occasion ori
ginating in a higher motive than under the
disturbing influences of party spirit. It may
be found in tile fifth volume of W. E. Chan
tiin/s puhli.-hed works, in the preface to his i
1, ■••tin*'- on War, deliver- ■! in the year Is.'JS. .
Much. also, is due to the ltenifieent influ- ;
r-nce 4 .f G n- ral Scott. To this distinguished
man belongs the rare honor of uniting with
military en rgy and daring, the spirit of a
philanthropist. Hi.- exploits in the field,
which placed him in the-tirst rank of soldiers,
have been obscured by the purer and more j
lasting glory of a pacificator, and a friend of
mankind. In the whole history of the inter
course of civilized' communities, we doubt
whether a brighter page can be found than j
that which records his agency in the removal
■of the Gherukeiis. As far as the wrongs done j
to this race can be atoned for, Gen. Scott has
mad" the expiation. In his recent mission to ,
the disturbed borders of our country he !
lias succeeded, not so much by policy as; by i
the nobleness and generosity of his charac
ter, by moral influence, by the earnest con
viction with which he has enforced on all
with whom he had to do, the obligations of
patriotism, justice, humanity and religion,
it would not be easy to find among us a mam
who has won a purer fame ; and 1 would do i
something, no matter how little, ta hasten the
time when the spirit of christian humanity ;
shall be accounted an essential attribute and
the brightest ornament in a public man.''
The Hollidayshurg Standard says that the
editorial convention of 1840 originated among
the editors "down the river who had free ;
tickets on the railroad." Wo done our part
towards the convention of that year, but with
the exception of a ticket to visit the intersec
tion some years ago, we have always paid our j
way on the railroad, and occasionally put up
with the " usual impertinence" of conductors
in the bargain. We court neither free tickets
nor chalked hats.
The people of Huntingdon have been
seized with a feverish desire to make the
long projected railroad to Broad Top Moun
tain. Subscription books are to be opened on
the lOth. Y\ e hope they may succeed, as its
■ ■ traction would dcpM.-ite
of bituminous coal into market, and do some
thing towards the prosperity of that good
looking IK trough.

I.ocofoco National Convention.
This motley assembly convened at Balti
more on Tuesday last, at the Ilall of the Ma
i rviand Institute. The delegates, says the
Baltimore American, "thronged rapidly in,
and it soon became evident that extensive and
complete as the arrangements were, there
would be a press for room. The announce
ment was made by Mr. J. KETTLEWELL, of
the Committee of Arrangements, that each
State would only be entitled to seats on the
main platform equal in number to their con
gressional representation, and that alternates
and mass delegates must take their places in
tin? reserved seats adjoining the platform.
This announcement, however, produced but
little effect, and though it was repeated fre
quently, the crowding and confusion increased.
The lower part of the Hall, designed for the
accommodation of spectators, was not crowd
ed. though the number of persons in attend
ance was large. But few ladies made their
appearance in the gallery reserved for their
i use—and the numbers did not materially in
crease during the opening session. At half
past 11 o'clock a small swivel stationed in
front of the Ilall added its noisy notes to the
general hum of preparation, and was dis
charged at intervals until noon."
B. F. Hallett, of Mass., called the Conven
tion to order, after which Mr. Bright, of la.,
nominated as President pro /em., Gen. 1 {OVU
LES M. SAUNDERS, of North Carolina, which
was confirmed.
At this time the crow d on the platform had
: become so dense that great confusion began
to prevail, and it wan evident that without tin*
adoption of some means, order could not be
preserved suttieientlv to enable the Conven
l .
lion to advance .with its proceeding-. An
other, appeal was made to the alternates and
others to withdraw from the platform.
Gov. Floyd, of Virginia, said that the con
fusion prevailing was inevitable, from the
want of sufficient room. But fifteen seats
had been allotted to the Virginia delegates,
and there were one hundred present. They
• could not designate who of that numb w
[ should lie entitled to seats on the platform.
It was impossible for them to make the dis
tinction if they wished to do so. They w.-iv
willing to take any place on t!i" floor or in
the gallery, but they were detrmined to
keep together. They proposed to retire un
til room could lie provided for them.
Allen G. 1 hurmati, of Ohio, also rose and
complained that seats had not been prepared
for that delegation. He said they d-inande 1
as a right that they should have scats togeth
er. Similar complaints were male by the
delegations from North Carolina and other
; States.
The Chair announced that before furtlu r
proceedings, the Convention would lie opened
with prayer. The Be v. -J. Campbell White,
Hector of Sr. Andrew's l'rote-taiit Episcopal
Church of Baltimore, was then introduced,
| and made an appropriate and fervent prayer.
On motion of Jacob Thompson, of Missis
sippi, it was resolved to appoint a Commitb e
' of one delegate from each State represented
in the Convention to nominat permanent of
ficers for the government of the Convention ;
and each delegation to appoint its own dele
gate in said Committee. On this Committee
Heudrick B. \\ right, a notorious politician
from this State, was appointed.
After some debute on minor subjects and
the appointment of a committee on creden
tial-. the Convention adjourned imtiio o'clock.
At that hour the Convention again assem
bled, when the Committee appointed lbr that
purpose reported for President of the Conven
tion, JOHN "V . DAVIS, and a \ ice President
from each Stat*-, except South Carolina, which
was not represented. David Lynch, -aid to
he the circulator of a defamatory publication
relative to Gen. Ca-s, was appointed a Vice
President from IViinsvlvauia. Samuel Ji.
Patterson, from this State, wa appointed one
of the Secretaries.
The Committee also reported the following
resolutions:
I'rs'tJred, 1 hat tie* rules of the House of
llepresentativfs, a- far a- applicable for the
government of this Convention, be adopted
as the rules of this Convention.
J'cJio/red, That two-thirds of the whole
number of votes given shall be necessary to
the nomination of candidates for President
and \ ice President of the I nited States, by
this Convention.
U< solced, That in voting upon any question
which may arise in the proceedings of this
''.invention the vote shall be taken by States
at the request of any one State; each State
to be entitled to the number of votes to which
such State is entitled in the next Electoral
< 'li'-ge, without regard to the number of
dd. gates in attendance ; the manner in which
said vote is to be east to be decided by the
delegation of each State for itself.
An effort was made to lay the two-third
rule on the table, but was voted down bv a
decisive voie, whieh may IK; eip*>idered equiv
alent to a declaration that
KASS KANT KOME IT!
BUCHANAN DITTO!
On "Wednesday the want of seats was
again felt, and caused much scrambling and
noise. Various resolutions were ©Serial—
among them to support the fugitive slave law
—but the convention was in no hurry to
adopt them.
Mr. Nabors, of Mi-si-sipp;, offered a reso
lution providing that no nomination shall he
made for cither President or \ h President,
until t;.e platform of the party i- fully laid
down.
ih< resolution gave rise to much d bate,
ami o ing withdrawn, was renewed by Mr.
Vise, of Va.. and after still further debate, !
laid on the table. Yeas 155, nays 111.
The committee on credentials also mad ■ a
repmt which created much •xciteumnt and
debate, having recommended the admission
o f ho ill the nullifies and Union men from
Georgia. .'ls oi the members rose to th' ir
feet ainid cries of adjournment, A*c\. and the
convention finally adjourned until Thursday.
On Thursday, having at last quieted the
unruly spirits, the convention got to work,
and the first ballot resulted as follows:
Cass, 115
Buchanan,
Douglas, 20
Butler, 2
Marcy, 27
Houston, 8
T I 1)
Lane, oo
Dodge, 3
Weller, 4
Scattering, 2
The convention continued to ballot through
out yesterday and last evening until 9 o'clock,
when the 17th ballot stood—for
Cuss, 99
Buchanan, 87
Douglas, 50
The highest vote obtained by Gen. Cass, in
the seventeen ballots taken yesterday, was
one hundred and eighteen.
The Convention then adjourned until this
morning, when it is understood a " game of
folk'' is to he played which will result in
pitching overboard Cass, Buchanan, Douglas,
lie., and place in nomination Gen. W. O.
of Kentucky ! or one of his calibre.

The N. S. General Assembly of the Presby
terian Church in session in Washington was
chiefly agitated last week by a discussion of
proposed measures of Church Extension.—
The debate was between those members who
> favored the establishment of Ecclesiastical
Boards of Home Missions and Education dis-
I tinetly Presbyterian, and those who prefer
red co-operatnm and union with the Congre
gationalists. The latter declared the plans
of the former to he fi<* rock on which the
Presbyterian Church split in 1837.
The Assembly on Saturday week waited in
a body on President FII.I.MORE, who was ad
dresit'd very eloquently by Dr. ADAMS, the
Moderator, to whom he replied in very apt

JHMRSL Ibe subscriber offers
for sale two lots of ground
jxvjsigM >ituate on the corner of t
ih£ Diamond, in Reeds
ville, Milllin county, with
a large I) iVELLI.VG and STORE ST.I.YI),
Stabling for 5 horses, Kitchen, Wood House,
Smoke House, and other out buildings thereon
erected. There is also a well of water on the
premises, Apple, I'rach and Plum Trees in full
bearing—in tact everything calculated to render
it a pleasant home.
The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
best iu the country, being situate on the great
avenue (the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush- i
els ot grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milhcim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Kishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ne--—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location iu oilier respects is highly favor
j able—being six miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula- !
lion daily pass the door, ft was last oecupied
by Wm. J. Glass, deceased.
Iky" A further description is not deemed ne
cessary, as persons desirous of purchasing will
of course call and examine for themselves.
For further information apply to Wm. Brothers,
Esq., or Win. McKinney, E*q., Recdsviile, or
to the subscriber in Armagh township.
To a suitable purchaser, terms will be
made easy.
