upwards—to make payment. We do not

General Scott.
It is clear, says the Now York Times, that
ferocious assaults upon General Scott are to j
turns the basis <<f tiie Democratic crusade i
during the pending canvass. The leading |
organs of that party already indicate this,
beyond the possibility of doubt. Avoiding!
uii discussion of the matters of principle, or
the measures of policy, upon which the two ■
parties are at issue— not daring to claim for <
their own candidate, with the least confidence,
any superiority of charatcr or any special j
qualifications for the high place to which he
lms been nominated—the principal presses in j
the Democratic interest have entered upon a
systematic crusade against the character and ,
the principles of General Scott. Even at this !
early stage of the canvass, these prints abound j
in ridicule of his military achievements, in .
gross misstatements of his opinions, and in the j
most unfair appeals to bigotry and prejudice j
against him. Special efforts are made to
arouae anew the flames .f dissension between
different classes of our people—to array in
hostility cur native and our naturalized citi
zens—and to foment opposition to General
Scott by appeals to the favti. us and mischiev
ous distinctions thus created.
Injurious as such efforts may prove to the
Lest interests of society, they will nut at
tain the end which those who make them
have in view, nor can they prevent the elec
tion of W infield Scott. Indeed, every effort
made by bis enemies in this direction, will
react upon them, and tell decisively in his fa
tor. There is no public man in the country
whose position on this subject is higher or
better —whose long tried Americanism of
character rises more loftily above all such in
vidious distinctions, and renders him more
u >bly impartial, more strictly just to ail
classes, and thus better able to restore har
mony and unity of feeling among them all,
than General .Scott. His whole course of
lite has qualified him preeminently for just
this duty. 11c has led to battle, in defence
of American rights, soldiers from every na
tion. enlisted under the American flag, and
has seen them \ icing with each other in the
noble strife as to which should serve their
country best. Side by side, he has led the
Irish, the German and the native American
all enlisted under the stars and stripes, and
ai! fired with one common ardor against the
British troops upon the fields of Chippewa
and Lundy's Lane, and against Mexican sol
diers on Southern plains. He hits borne full,
prompt and cordial testimony to their equal
courage and patriotism, and has branded with
the most emphatic reprobation every attempt
to claim superior courage or greater fidelity
to the cause of their common country for
any one over any other class. He knew
them all, and knew them only as Americans.
And for them all, as such, he will always, iu
whatever position or capacity he may be
called to act, claim equal privileges and
equal rights.
L XION ' OL.-.TV. — i'he IVhigs of Old Union
held a ratification meeting, at New Berlin, on
the 3d instant. Col. Eli Slifer presided, aud
Hon. N'er Middleswarth, H., n . Jos. Casey,
unci James Aiken, Esq., made speeches on
the occasion. The meeting adopted a set of
resolutions endorsing, with a hearty will, the
nomination of Scott and Graham. We have
room only for one among the number :
Resolved, That we adopt and endorse the
Candidates and the Platform of the great
National Whig Convention at Baltimore, as
the cement of a strong and faithful bond of
I nion, between the Whigs of every part and
action of this great lb-public, and the har
binger of a complete and glofioys victory.
The remains of Mr. Play reached home 011
Friday evening last. There was a great fu
neral procession at Lexington.
General Scott and General Jackson.
The Philadelphia Ledger of Tuesday hits
! somebody—probably that pink of falsehood,
i the Pennsylvanian —as follows: One of the
! partisan newspapers, says that paper, true to
those low instincts which, during a Presiden
tial campaign, always set so many profligate
pens at work in calumniating the candidates,
tells the public that Gen. Scott is a coward be
cause he refused a challenge from Gen. Jaek-
I son some time during the war of 1812. YVe
do not recollect the facts in this case, if any
such occurred, aud do not regard them as wor-
I thy of notice for the purpose of vindicating
Gen. Scott from the charge of cowardice!
Nor do we offer a single word in condemna
tion of duelling as the foundation of Gen.
Scott's defence ; for those who now condemn
j him for this imputed refusal, would have been
equally averse upon his acceptance. Materia!
: for partisan slander is all that they seek.
But while disdaiuing to discuss the question
S whether d oiling be right or wrong generally,
i we will offer a few words upon duelling in es
pecial connection with Gen Scott, and upon
the proof of cowardice which is furnished by
[ this imputed refusal. Gen. Scott entered the
army from choice, and fought his way in
: numerous bloody battles, to the commission
and command of a Brigadier General, long
i before the war of 1812 was ended. And not
till after Wilkinson and Hull and llampton
and Dearborn, and other "old fogies" which
the revolution had left, had been cleared off
from the army, and their places in command
| supplied by Brown, Scott, Gaines, Ripley, and
, other sprigs of " Young America," did said
| army bey in to meet with any success. And
after it did begin, it went forth like him who
sat on the white horse with a bow in his hand,
["conquering and to conquer." And Col.
Scott and Gen. Scott, " the hero of Lundy's
Lane," and of many other lanes where Brit
: ish bullets and bayonets were no joke, had a
j very considerable share in the very hard
1 fighting that achieved ali this " conquering."
We wonder if any body in the army in those
; days, ever dreamed of cowardice in Captain
: Scott or Colonel Scott or General Scott?
' Guess not ! Kven the "original Scott men"
i of the present day, who have stuck to him
most constantly and faithfully from the be
ginning of hisccaree no—not career —a can-
iiiation we mean— could not bo more enthusi
astic in praise of his gallantry, than were : !l
men, ot whatever party, in those light! s •/
days. The "federalists," who opposed the
war, wore unanimous in praising the chival
rous gallantry of this then young Colonel and
General; while the " republicans," who made
and sustained such war, regarded him as a
real fire-eater. Gen. Scott a coward ? The
assertion would not liave been cjuite safe in
1312, 1313, 1314 and Ibid, when something
harder than words was a very frequent pen
ally for slaudering American officers, military
or naval. And if Gen. Scott was a coward
in the war of 1812, he must have outgrown
the infirmity afterwards, for he certainly did
not run away in Florida, and gave hims If
numerous opportunities for smelling powder
in Mexico. And tieu. Scott did not dare to
" look Gen. Jackson in the eye 1" lie looked
the butteries of Vera Cruz and Contreras and
Churuhusco and Cerro Gordo and Molino del
Key, and sundry other places, not only in the
eye, but in the mouth; and as " fin s and
feathers" make him a conspicuous mark, he
must have looked at some risk. A coward !
l'sha 1! The poor things who make this
charge at this time of day, are merely talking
of themselves.
In connection with this subject, we remark,
iu answer to the Democrat's query of yester
day, that Gen. Scott's letter nous NOT say he
declined the meeting on account of religious
scruples or duty to his family. " PERHAPS 1
may be restrained" from such motives, says
Geu. Scott, and then adds, " Ma ambition is
no/ that of Krostratusf (who, as classical read
ers will remember, to perpetuate his name,
set fire to the celebrated temple of Diana at
Kphesus,) a sentiment which we think is evi
dence sufficient that he bore no unkind feel
ings towards [icu. Jackson, but regarded his
bravado and challenge as the result of a
hast\' temper and equally liasty judgment—
traits of character for which Gen. Jackson
was then (1818) famous, as every man fa
miliar with the history of that period must
know. We are riot sure that a true statement
is given respecting De Witt Clinton's difficulty
with Gen. Scott—for the paper from which
the democrat quotes, is of such questionable
authority that anything it says ought to be
received with a great many grains of allow
ance—but we are sure of one thing, and that
is, it attempts to FALSIFY THE TRUTH for
the purpose of creating an impression that
Gen. Scott is a coward —an uvuendo well and
ably met in the extract above from the Ledger.
When in 1837 there was imminent danger
<>f a bloody collision between her Majesty's
Canadian subjects and American citizens on
the Northern frontier, President Van Huron
sent Gen. SCOTT to the frontier to prevent in
vasion and bloodshed, that must have led to
a war between the two countries. Gen.
Scott maintained the laws and honor of the
country, and, by indefatigable exertions, pre
served the peace between the United States
and Great Britain. On his return from the
frontier he was honored by the citizens of
Albany and by the members of the New York
Legislature with a public supper. Governor
Marcy presided. The following were among
the regular toasts:
"WLNFIELD SCOTT: NO less the scholar
than the soldier, whose pen and sword have
been wielded with equal skill in defence of
his country."
Jhe soldier: Who has ever made the law
of the land his supreme rule of action, and
who, while he has always fulfilled its utmost
requirements, has never in a single instance
transcended its limits."
" Our Guest: The invincible champion of
our rights : the triumphant vindicator of our
laws."

The Wiikesbarre Fanner, a Cass paper,

The Democrat don't like Pierce's account

According to the Ifollidaysburg Standard,
Altoona is rapidly improving. It is certainly
a beautiful location, and, supported by a

The Public Ledger is opposed to Gen.
Scott's resigning his commission until after
the election, and nut then unless elected, in
which case it says the nation would lose u
good Major General and probably gain a good
President—while, if not elected, the nation
would still have a good Major General.

A small baud of miserable politicians from
the south, by turns secessionists, union men,
whigs, locofoeos, or anything else that will best
answer their ends, have come out and say
they cannot support Gen. .Scott ! Poor fei- j
lows, they will have a hard time of it, as even
the locofoco Sl.ite organ in Georgia hopes
they will not turn democrats, and it is certain
ly the sincere wish of every good whig that
they will not hereafter make pretensions to
being members of their party, as these fac
tionists claimed to be some three years ago,
but not since.
The Governor and State Treasurer have
appointed Col. John J. McCahan to visit Eu
rope for the purpose of inducing foreign cap
italists to take the new State loan. Some
years ago the democracy used to raise a cry
that a certain bank was owned by British
lords and ladies, and seemed to abhor the
very idea of lingering anything lirUis.'i ; but
now the locofoco papers think it all right lor
Gov. Bigler to send an agent to Europe at an
expense of some thousands to the taxpayers,
to solicit foreign nabobs to buy a mortgage on
Pennsylvania farms, and even offer the bonds
free from taxation !
DEATH OE ROBERT MCNEIL. —We noticed
in our last that Mr. McNeil had been affected
by an apoplectic fit at Hollidaysburg. lie
lingered until Saturday at 11 o'clock, para
lyzed and insensible—having never spoken a
word from the time lie was attacked until his
decease. His remains were brought down on
the cars, and attended by an unusual number
of friends and citizens, interred at the old
graveyard in this borough. This makes the
third death in that family in less than a year
—Miss McNeil having died in September last,
Mrs. McNeil during the winter, and now the
father and husband.
An official annunciation in the last Dem

tion of the number of delegates to which
each district is entitled, shows that the East
and West wards, Granville, Derry, McVey
town and Oliver, in conjunction with any
other single district, can rule the convention,
and consequently roast the beefsteak to their
liking. Ou Monday evening, August 2d, the
faithful are also invited to take tea at the

ings between McClintick's shop and Blymy-
I er's brick dwelling, and will soon erect sub
stantial brick buildings in theirplace. Should

The Harrisburg correspondent of tho
Democrat is at present engaged in showing
how much money a locofoco congress has
voted to keep up the army and navy under
Mr. Fillmore's administration and pay Polk's
war debts. As the subject is rather dry and
threadbare, we would suggest to "' Juniata"
to furnish a dish or two from the Auditor
General's office of canal or Portage Railroad
items, such as boarding hands, &c. Such a
dinner the readers of that paper would relish
these hot dog-days with peculiar gusto.
Correspondence of the Lewistown Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July 14, 1852.
FRIEND FRYSINGER :—Having just returned i
from a visit to the " Monumental City,"
where 1 repaired to spend tho anniversary of
our nation's birth day, I have consequently
been compelled to defer my writing to you
until the present time. As, no doubt you are !
aware, from a perusal of the newspapers, ;
that the Fourth in Baltimore was spent with
a perfect looseness, it is unnecessary to reca
pitulate the doings on that occasion, either
innocent or criminal—suffice it to say, that
day will be long remembered as one of riot
and bloodshed, if for nothing else, in this
city, the day passed off very quietly, the cit
zens generally availing themselves of the
many steamboat excursions down the broad
and beautiful Potomac, while several of our
military companies attended church in the
morniug, and otherwise agreeably spent the j
day. _ I
fhe weather here is extremely oppressive,
and at this time of writing Old i>ol is pouring
down his rays on the devoted heads of poor
humaiaty with unusual severity, causing j
everything mortal to melt away like a cent-dtp
on a stove.
There was a Whig Ratification Meeting
held at Alexandria on Thursday night week,
where the greatest harmony and undoubted
devotion to the cause was manifested. It
was very numerously attended, and from
what Ave saw and heard, I think we are safe
in jotting down the electoral vote of the '"Old
Dominion'' lbr our favorite champions, SCOTT
and GRAHAM —indeed, everything politically
we receive from that good old State, seems to
warrant us in this conclusion.
The " bolters," Messrs, TOOMBS, STEPHENS
Co., do not meet, it seems, with that en
couragement from the hands of the locofoeo
party which was their anticipation, it was
a question with this trio, not long since,
'■ wiiere should they go?" and having decid
ed to go with the democratic party, it now
seems likely they will not ho welcome, and
thus they stand a very fair chance of being
kicked away. If this should be tho ease, the
question naturally arises, " where can thev
go?"—for the whig party do not desire them
to remain longer in its ranks, and I have not
the slightest apprehension that the country
would be in danger, should they deem it ex
pedient to " Go whore the good darkies go !'
There has been started horo quite a neat
and spirited campaigner, entitled " The Sig
nal." It promises to be of great service in
the coming campaign, and should be liberally
encouraged. Success to it. PETEII,

Lest our loeofoco friends should be in a
quandary to know who this Gen. Scott is
whose name is now ringing through the coun
try as the whig candidate for the Presidency,
we copy from the Reading Journal, for their
especial information, a list of the battles and
brilliant victories of which he was the hero,
commencing with the l*ie war with Great
Britain and ending with the triumphant en
try of the American Army into the citv of
