It hiving lieen understood yesterday that 1
Gen. Scott, accompanied by Gen. Wool and
.vrgeon General Laivson (who compose a
. omnrittee to select a site For an army asylum;
would p'.'.-s hen on their way to Kentucky, |
. •
a large number of c.nr ladies and citizens
v nded their way to the depot yesterday
afternoon, to sec the distinguished chieftain
and war- carred hero who will soon, wo
uu-r, be the people's choice for President of
the United Stat' - . On the arrival of the cars,
he was greeted with a military salute frout
riie drum and fife, the waving of flags and
handkerchief#, and long and loud cheers from
the a -emhled multitude. Gin. Scott immedi
; telv appeared upon the. platform, when he
ws r.ddre- ed Geo. V. Elder, L-q., as
billows :
11 >\<irf.d Sis:—The old and the young,
vho Swell along the e mountain sides, and
i.i this quiet valley of the Juniata, welcome
;. to-day as their transient guot.
Our mountains li re may look cold—and
the vrindsth.it sweep them may ho cold—
i.N- our hearts are warm, and in tliem, sir,
yon will over have the v .rmest place.
You, sir, are no obscure stranger here. '
Every month and every year, ha-your name, j
coupled with som- distinguished service, 1
reached the far the t corner of this land.
lf-si le you, stands a witness to call up re
collections at once " mournful and pleasant" I
to you, (here the speaker referred to Captain
.J-i.seoh Henderson, who served under Scott at
t'hipp'-wa and Lundys Lane; —one \vh , slei.t
beside you on the cold borders of the North
ern Lakes —who brushed away the frost from '
his sw<>rd, and a*: the sound of the morning
rcvelc-e, was eager for tfic fight. One who
stood b vide you after the dark conflict had
ceased, when faint and weary you leaned upon
v our srear.
On \ .ur left, stands another witness, (Cap
tain Wm. H. Irwin,) who heard the tramp of
your War Horse, as he " snuffed the battle
liom afar," amidst the stillness of the orange
groves in the Valley of 31 -xieo.
Here, too, are others, who bore an hmn
bVr, but vet as proud a part, in the last series
of V"ur brilliant achievements —those which
are scattered ln-re and there, and are the stars
to beautify and adorn our histrory, aye, stars
bright and enduring as that one which never
s-ets. 3 es, here are some of the hands and
hearts that helped you tear down the battle
ments that Cortez built, and plant above his
rained towers yon glorious '• Banner of the
Free."
In their names and in the names of those
around me, again accept our heartiest wel
come.
Ilut, sir, we take you by the hand and
kindly greet you, not because it is deeply
stained with bloxl—no, no, not because you
are a skillful butcher of the human ra'-c, but
because you have ever sought to hide the na
kedness of the sword blade, by entwining
round it an olive wreath—because you have
never sunk the man in the fancied Hero.
Accept, too, our kindest wishes long as yon
" little river" shall steal down with its waters
to the sea. Go, and may the remnant of
your stormy life be passed in peace, and
when it closes, niay it be calm and beautiful
as yon setting sun, which long throws its
mild rays back to gladden and to bless the
world.

! Irwik and Dr. Jossrrr Henderson (the latter
! a Captain under Scott at Chippewa and
i Lundy's Lane, and the former a Captain un
' der him in Mexico,) appeared to be deeply
affected, and briefly replied, in substance, as
i follows:
My Fellow-Citizens : I am happy to meet
with you here in this beautiful \ alley .t the
i Juniata. This kind reception was unexpect
ed, and the sentiments of the beautiful speech
just made, by one of your number, have
touched my heart deeply. A manifestation
of my countrymen's esteem I cherish as my
highest honor, and this of yours shall ever
live fresh in my memory.
' Again, and again, I thank you all lor your
kindness, and assure you it has excited rne
1 most grateful feelings of my heurt, \*liileto
meet my old associates in arms awakens
emotions which language fails me to express,
i Captain T. F. MCCOY and some oth-r sol
diers of the Mexican V. ar, as we:l as a.l who
could do so, grasped the hand of the old he
ro, but the ears having bcea detained bey ml
' the usual time while the General was yet
-peaking, the signal was given, and the train
sped on its way westward amid load and '.ft
repeated cheers.

Drowned.—Calvin MeAili-ter, of Juniata
! county, was drowned at the locks two miles
above Levvistuwu on the night of the 9th
iust. He wa- a young man, respectably con
, nected, but addicted to tint bane of civiiiza- 1
tion, inUun]verance, to which he no doubt
owed his untimely end. His remains were
taken to Juniata county for interment.

The Democrat thinks bceau-o Mr. Wake
field has held a little office for three years,
with more labor than pay, and )>eeause some
of the others have heretofore been candidates,
that the whig nominee- arc not fresh from the
people. That is certainly a nice distinction, I
equal to splitting hairs, but we -till adhere
to our opinion that the candidates taken up
without solicitation on their part art fresh from
the ranks. That paper also says that it !
: " knows" there was " considerable strife bo-1
fore and at the convention" as to the nomi-
I • ?
nee—a fact which is not a fact at all. Tin re
was no strife about the matter, and certainly
nothing even approaching it in convention or
out of it.

(irandiloquenl. —-A late number of the In
vestigator, an adjun- I of the Hartisburg
Union, heads a long editorial with the foilow
-1 ing grandiloquent introduction :
j " Clear and beautiful as the mountain
stream that leaps over crystal rocks, and play
ing in the sunbeams, tiil every spray reflects
| the glorious lustre of the diamond and mir
; ror, the beauties that surround it, is the char
acter of Gen. Frank Pierce. It needs no vin
dication—itealls for no champion, llestands
truly accused of nothing. Politically and
personally he i% as Caesar's wife ought t<>
have been, ' above suspicion.' "
He remember reading in a certain book
that a great thing was created out of noth
ing, but this creating a great man out of a
little one rather throws the former in the
shade. For our part, we should strongly
mistrust any man nowadays who is above
suspicion, fi,r such characters are prelfv gen
erally trimmers of the worst kind.

Taxation artJ the Public Works
: A leaning subject of complaint among
property holders at the present time, and un
doubtcdiy a great drawback to the invest
ment of capital in this State, is the enormous
amount of taxes levied on real estate. Com
pared with the taxation thirty years ago, it is
certainly a grievous burden, yet one that
mu ,t be 1 *rne until the people will compel
their public officers and legislators to a more
rigid performance of duty, and thus make
the public v. .rks pay the interest on their
construction, as they ought to do, or wipe
out the debt at once by a special tux laid for
that purpose. The latter would probably
create a little revolution, if attempted, and
h-nee may-be considered impracticable ; the
former uwde i.-> within reach, but so long as
voters w ill support any and everything su'o
niitted to them under the guise of democracy,
no matter how u trust or how absurd, it is
not likely to be accomplish d. Public at
tention, however, is being attracted to the
subject among the democratic party in this
State, and w - hope yet to live to see a reform
introduced which will compel the nvjj >rity
empl. ycd < n the public works to earn their
bread as other men do, by furnishing the 1
State with service equal to their pay. At
. present, b.••">>,! Jockienders and a portion of
the collectors who are not duplicated, we j
doubt WHETHER OIK as ten earns half his wa
ges, and probably five in ten are altogether
superfluities—a sort of fifth wheels to wagon -
—of no nse to the State or anybody else.
The V. ilkesbarre Farmer, an out and out
locofoeo paper, sides with us in this view of
j the , f.s will be seen by the following
article from a recent number:
" The Progress of Fraud and Wart* t,i
Pennsylvania. —Before the commenceraent of J
the system of " Internal Improvers mts," in !
Pennsylvania, the G vernment and its agents
w •■••• proverbially honest and prud'-nt. That
system has. in r- sj tto the Government aud
it- employers, wholly change 1 the policy and
character of the State. Mew York had taken
the lead in regard hi this subject, and all the
vices, coßseqoentqpon such asystem, had been
there matured. Horn. \ when good old Penn- ■
sylvania, with her ; rudent and frugal Dutch
: population, and her imnicns - wealth, the fruits
• of mure than one hundred years of virtuous
j labor, wa- ofi'"r"d to the cupidity of theexpc- :
ric-neod and cunning ladrouea, that had I en
engender!.-. 1 in the operations of New York,
they poured in like Miltures ami turkey buz
zards upon her, attracted hy the odor of the
prospective spoil. Their success at the eoin
-1 lueuccment was unparalleled—for they pus- 1
sussed, like tie Egyptian I'rie.-ts, a monopoly
of ail the arts and frauds of a matured sys
tem of public plunder. Fortunes were, as by i
the inagie of Aladdin's Lamp, heaped up and !
b rn>* away, t■> ' • enjoyed in th • State whence
tliis system ot plunder had emanated. But
we had within our own State the jierso-ael out
of which to organize a similar corps—who
- ton exhibited a marvellous aptitude in this
department of human fraiity or vice—who
spun omriva!l< i their teachn- in lie-arts ami
n vstories of public p'un r : and 1* nnsylva
nia—poor, patient Pcnnsylvanbi—has ever
since been tlie victim of this corrupt and ru
inous scourge. Vir a broad and deep system
of plunder has, for the last thirty years, been
organized in the very bowels' f the Common
wealth, embracing oft- n, in its <_• mposition,
the very officers and agents ol' the Govern
ment —and, be it sai l with deep humiliation
and profound regret for the interests of pop- j
ular government, those often exercising the j
highest functions, have been implicated in this '
abominable system of public plunder. Look, ■
fellow-citizcus, at the mushroom estates that
have sprung up on every side of you out of
this hot bed of corruption. Then look at the
-warm of tax-gatherers that daily haunt your
doors—and then look at the enormous amount
of your taxes exhibited in the lists of these
I'ublicans, who, when you are able, by all
your frugality and unremitted toil, t-> meet
these extravagant demands, treat you with
insult and insolence. This comas, fellow-cit
izens, from a system of corrupt and profligate
• administration of y-.ur public affiair-. Your
Canal system, which ought to be, ami would
be, if honestly ami wisely managed, a -ouree
, of great profit to the people, and of public
prosperity, has been the nursery of vice—tin
seething civldron of corruption—and the bot
tomless gulf vlii< h has swallowed up so much
of your wealth, and which, if not j mi lieu and
amended, will swallow up the whole of your
j independence. The banned legions of your
plunderers nominate the chief agent-, WHO
1 are to be phus 1 in charge of this mighty en
gine of either good or evil to you—and hence
the very guardian- placed in charge of their
dearest interests by a too confiding people, of
ten are among those who are most deeply in
terested in this system of reckless ami profii- ;
gate robbery.
Fellow-citizens —honest men of both par- j
tics, whether democrats or vvliigs —let us unite
at least to relieve ourselves from this intoler
able burthen of cruel and unnecessary taxa- j
tion ; let us no longer persecute the prudent
and sagacious men out of mere passion and
bigotry, but let us sustain the honest and pru
dent, for all our public stations, when our
rights are to be disposed of, and let our first
duty be to purge the Augean stable which has
involved us in a debt of more than §10,000,-
OUO, and threatens, if not cleansed, to de tr -v
j us ail." * ;
Again, Col. Carter is Editor of the Lycom
ing Democrat—a 1 fierce and King paper,
j and known as a decided party man, though
disgusted with the corrupt manner in which
Lycoming county is managed by the Canal
Officers within its borders. That our readers
may see that Canals are managed pretty
i much the same way all over the State, we
quote the following extract from the leading
article in the Democrat of August 21 :
As we said last week, the citizens of this
county have not-tin; slightest voice in the se
lection of their officers—they are, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same state of dis
franchisement as the wretched peasantry of
, the wilds of Connaught, A few individuals,
bound together by the cohesion of Canal
plunder, monopolise the offices for themselves,
i their relatives, and their followers. - As soon
I as the general election is over they meet to
j gether in caucus—sometimes on a store box
; —sometimes on the steps of the Court House
j —sometimes in the back room of a lawyer's
| den—and sometimes in an obscure tavern—
and there form the ticket for the ensuing
! election. With the prestige of former sue-
I cess; with the funds of the canal always at
their disposal; and with the means and tn
r finance of men in office who expect to be ro
j tated into higher and more lucrative births.
! the * cliaue' succeed in electing just such
delegates* as wiil carry out their wishes.
Occasionally, it is true, in several of the
townships," a spirit of disgust, or to use the
language of the party leaders, a spirit of
disoy/anizalion is manifested, and the people
wholly refrain from attending the delegate
elections. But this does 1. : interfere in the
slightest degree with the operations of the
public robbers. Before the Convention as
semble-—; and it always assembles during
Court week:—a stray juror, or a stray wit
ness, from the disaffected township, is caught,
presented with credentials, pressed into ser
vice, and for five or six hours he sits in Con
vention with the gravity of an owl aud the
wisdom of an a -—not as the duly accredited
representative of a free and independent
township, but as the hired tool to office hold
ers and office hunters. Political affairs as
they now exist in this county could not well
be more humiliating and degrading.
To party organization moulded and con
trolled by a few individuals who have ad led
acre to acre, and farm to farm, from success
ful public plundering—primary elections held
to ratify the selection of delegates previously
' named by the candidates for office—and last
of all aud more than till, a constituency with
out a free representation —wiil any one
who ha-i take the trouble to look at the cor
rupt working of the delegate system, and
who has brains enough to keep him out of
the rain, have the impudence to a-ert th.it
Lycoming, with ail her great and growing
interests, has ever been truly and faithfully
represented in the Ilalls of our Legislature?
No! no I —Gen. Packer has been represented,
and Judge Lewis has been represented, and
the YYiliiamsport and Elmira Railroad has
been represented, an 1 robbing Canal Officers
—from defaulting Collectors down to thiev
ing mud bosses—have been represented, hut
for the last eight or ton years, not a hand has
been lifted, not a voice has been raised, in
cither branch of the Legi'latare, in behalf
of the outraged, disfranchised, pillaged,
plundered, tax r'd peopl • of old Lycoming.
Now, if every taxpayer would endeavor to
ascertain for himself where the money goes
that he pays to the State, a hornet's nest
would soon be stirred up, the like of which
has not been witnessed since the imposition
of a direct tax by the L".;it 1 States. And
herein, we think, taxpayei - generally are at
futlt. When one assessed at §IO,OtH) is cul
led upon to pay §2O road taxes, he may do so
with reluctance, but still he sees that
it is necessary and knows that it is ex
pended for a certain purpose ; the same
' may be said of county, school, and borough
taxes —all can see for themselves that at
least ihe greater portion, if not all, is honestly
applied; but when the taxgath rer e -in
fer §l.O state tax to one so assessed, that §OO
with its thousands uf similar sums, a - well as
! ■ rger and smaller, disappears in Egyptian
darkness. If inquiry is made as to its dis
position, he is niii ily informed that it goes to
pay the interest of the State debt 1 If he
sug'o-sts that if such is the case, it would be
better to sell or lease the put. lie improve
ments, the " good democratic officeholder"
vehemently avers that the public w rks pay .
weil now. and will do b-ti-r hcrcaficr. though
for the life of hint he cannot or will not ex
wlaiii where the one million seven hundred .
thousand dollars annually collected for tolls
go to. By invidious reasoning aud appeals
to party preferences the system is thus kept
up for the benefit of those who know on
which side th-ir bread is buttered, and so it
, will continue to bo until the people them
selves make a change by taking legislation as
well as voting into their own hands.
The Presidency.
Of those who have heretofore been nomi
nated for the high office of President of the
United Statr their past lives could be refer
red to a- furnishing conclusive evidence that :
they possessed talent of more than an ordiua- j
ry character, whether such talent had been
displayed in the field or in the councils of the
nation, but for what is Gen. Franklin Picrec
distinguished ? Not, well remarks the Alba
ny Journal, for his military exploits. He did
nothing while in Mexico to render his name
familiar to the people. So far from it, we
doubt whether one man in twenty remem
bered, when his name was announced, that he
had ever been in Mox i- \
I'or what, then, i.- lie distinguished ?
Not for his cicil services. It is true he lias
been in Congress ; but was he a di-tinguished
member of that body? He was in the House
with James K. Polk. At that time Mr. Polk
was not known as a man of commanding tal- j
cuts. Yet lie was made Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means. But where
was General Pierce ? Not only not at the
head of any committee, but near the tail of
the Committee on the Judiciary. After Mr.
Polk was elected Speaker, where did he place
Gen. Pierce? The records answer: Not at
the head of any Committee ; but in the mid
dle of the Committee on the Judiciary !
Nor was Gen. Pierce ever placed at the
head of any Committee by any of the Demo
cratic Speakers while he was in the House.
They always placed him where he would have
no responsibilities and but little labor. Did
I this indicate a high appreciation of his pro
found talents?
While lie was in the Senate, he met with
but little better success. It was not until the
last year of his service in that body that he
was placed at the head of any Committee,
and then only at the head of that on pen
sions !
Wo ask the candid reader whether a gentle
man of the talents deemed necessary for a
President of the United States would have,
for a long time, occupied so obscure a posi
tion in a legislative body controlled by his
own political friends ? It was left for the Lo
cofoeo National Convention to discover that a
man not deemed qualified to take the head of
a Committee is qualfied to occupy the Exec
utive Chair!

A Call upon the Veterans.
The following patriotic appeal cannot fail
i to touch the heart and the judgement of
even- man to whom it is addressed :
To THE GALLANT OLD SOLDIERS OF Hl2. AND
THE BRAVE FELLOWS WHO SERVED IN MEXICO:
. —Attention —Have you forgotten the bloody
field of Luridy's lame, where bayonet cros
sed bayonet, and steel clashed with steel,
amid tlw rattle of musketry and the roar of
! cannon and of many waters ?
Ilivo you forgotten the plains of Chippewa,
where you met the veterans of the Peninsula.
. and drove th an from th- field at point of
the bayonet ?
Have you forgotten Queenstowu Heights,
where you washed out, in your own blood
and the blood of your enemies, the disgrace
cast upon the American name and anus by
the surrender of Hull?
Have y< u;_ tteii Vera Cruz, Cerro Gor
do, Confronts, Cheruhuseo, Chapui tepee,
Molino del 1, y, and the City of Mexico ?
Have you forgotten your victorious march
—one el tite most splendid in the annals of
military operations, that excited the astonish
ment and won the plaudits of till Europe —
from Y era Cruz to the great Plaza of the
City of the Montezumas ?
Have you forgotten the feeling of pride,
true American pride, with which you follow
ed the victorious banners of your country, the
glorious star- and stripes, as they were borne
on war i and onward in pursuit of the re
treating foe ?
Have vou firgotten with what con fidence
you marched wherever you saw wave the tall
plume of your gallant old Commander-in-
Chief, leading you on ?
Have you forgotten that when he pointed
ouf the enemy, and told you when, where, and
haw to attack the conqueror, you felt that
you had only to obey his commands and vic
tory would, us it ever did, perch upon your
standards ?
Fellow soldiers and fellow veterans! Have
you forgotten ail this ? NO! To the latest
moment of your lives you will not, you can
not. forget it.
Forget not, our brave old command
er, the gallant Sf'O'J'T, who has so often led
us to victory, but never to defeat.
Let us once- more rally around him, as Ave
have buret-dure d me, where the lire was tiie
h ttest an 1 the enemy were the thickest.
His enemies were then our enemies —let them
he so still. He never waited for a call from
>n —let us 11 >w volunteer to stand by Aim.
and see him through the tight. 'Up Guards,

We ourselves know of a number of cases in
which they have been used, and we never knew
them to fail; therefore we conscientiously re
commend them to our friends as being the very
best medicine ever discovered for the cure of
this distressing disease. These pills are for sale
by F. J. HOFFMAN, of this place. Price $1 per
box. He has also constantly on hand a supply
of Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable Worm Pow
ders for the destruction of Worms, and from the
many applications of .our friends to give notice
through the press of the wonderful benefits their
children have derived froin the use of them, we
have no doubt they are really a superior article;
they are also pleasant for children to take.—
Aiso for sale by the same, Dr. J. W. Cooper's
Vegetable Cough or Consumptive Syrup. We
ourselves can testify to the great superiority of
this medicine in the cure of a stubborn and ob
stinate cough of several years standing If vou
have a cough, try this syrup, and our word for
it if it does not cure you, nothing w ill, [a 13
