* Gen* 3cett nnd the People* Gen. Scott's reoept.uo by the people along the route of travel pursued by him, shows that he hoids a place in their affections far beyond that accorded to any man now living. At Kollidaysburg he remained several hours, and during that time he was visited by an immense number of yeomanry, who looked in vain to discern a trace of that haughty arro gance in his manly face that locofoco dema gogues and scribblers ascribe to him. At Pittsburg, on Saturday, he was addressed by Captain Nayior in the presence of a tremen dous outpouring of the bone and sinew, to which the General responded by thanking his fellow countrymen for the high honor they paid to him by this public demonstra tion, which, however unworthy of it he might feel, was exceedingly grateful to his feelings. He disclaimed all right of appropriating to himself one-tenth of the glowing eulogy of his old intimate and eloquent friend, Captain Savior, but it was a proud recollection to him that he had, under the Providence of God, been able to do anything in the service of his country to merit the approbation of his fel low-citizens. He said that, in early life, it had been his secret and cherished desire to do something for his country which would prove of advantage to it, and would call forth the approbation of his countrymen, and to do it in such away as to make it harmonize with ihe well being of the whole family of man. Under the blessing of Heaven, (for which he had devoutly prayed,) and the favor of his fellow-citizens, he had been in some measure successful, but not to the extent of his youth ful aspiration, or lo that of the flattering tribute of his valued friend and gallant com pauion in arms, who just welcomed him to litis city. He then spoke of Pennsylvania, and expressed bis grateful emotions for the signal manner in which she had always man ifested her friendship for the humble soldier who had been so frequently honored in lead ing her gallant citizens to battle. lie revert ed to the gallant soldiers of Pennsylvania, both regulars and volunteers, who had stood by him with unfaltering ljdelity qnd bravery on the fields of Canada, and the heights of Mexico, and pointed the assembled throng to some of those who stood around him, who had shared with him in the fatigues and nerds of campaigns of former years. This glorious old Commonwealth was the Keystone of the Federal Arch, and she had always been true to the Union, and while she remained so, and be felt assured she always would, the I nion was safe in the midst of a)I the shocks which might ever be treasonably hurled agaipst it lie loved Pennsylvania for this, as well as h*r many other great virtues, fur he was himself at nion man; not a pulsation of his heart but beat for the Union, tli • win }; Union, tin great and glpriups nation, v hieh opght and ever would remain one ai;d indivisible. His obligations were also great to Pennsylvania, for the unsolicited honor a portion of her people had conferred upon him by r-o united ly and heartily promoting his nomination to the suffrages of his fellow citiz- us for trv- au gust office for which he was now a candidate, and if he ever reached that exalted position, it must be bv the vote of this gallant State. In conclusion, he announced his intention of remaining until Monday, and expressed his thankfulness that the discharge of his of ficial duties had given hiin the pleasure of meeting hi.-: true-hearted countrymen of Pitts burg on tiiis occasion. If bis official duty had not required it, he should not have taken a journey during tin Presidential contest; he regretted that he was obliged to make such a iourney; but it had been made, as it was his duty to make it, and the spontaneous action of ihe people bore was a source of unalloyed gratification, and youU forever lie cherished amongst his dearest recollections. He in voked the blessings of Heat en upon the peo ple, and took bis leave of them amidst their loud and enthusiastic huzzas. The enthusiasm manifested in this State seems to be eclipsed in the west, as the fol lowing dc.3oa.tch, which we cut from the ledger, will show: CLEVELAND, Sept 21.—General Seott s re ception at this city yesterday, was the most grand, imposing apd enthusiastic demonstra tion ever beheld. The banks of the Lake, for miles, were lined with people, notwith standing a drenching fall of rain. v. a.ting the arrival of R-e Old Hero ; and when the sa lutes from the " Ohio City," and fivtn Cleve land announced his approach, cheer after h-,. r resounded from every quarter, and were kept t p until.ho was esc irted to his quarters "t the American Hotel by the miiiutry and ihe immense mass of citizens. After he had retired lor a lew minutes, he appeared on the balcony, in answer to i.'tc prolonged cheers of the populace, and made a brief address, expressing the pleasure he experienced in visiting once more, alter n lapse- of eight years, Rio beautiful city of Cleveland, and thanking the citizens for their kind and cordial reception. After he had closed his address, he letirod to the hail with in, which was crowded by persons eager to pay their individual respects to their distin guished guest. At midnight a grand serenade was given, and the General again appeared and acknowl edged the compliment. 'I his morning hun dreds called upon him, at an early hour. About 11 o'clock he left, for Columbus, amid prolonged cheers and firing of guns. RODBF.RV. —The dwelling of Abraham Bly jr.ver, Esq., was entered on Friday night or Saturday morning by a gang of burglars, who got in at an opening above the door, and decamped with some fine silver spoons, &c., worth about S6O dollars. The same party, it is supposed, entered the counting house of the Lewistown Mills, where they got some sls or sl6, and also broke into the Railroad Company's Warehouse at the Depot, but found nothing there to pay them for their trouble- ILo shop of Charles Littb, at the canal, wan also tn-iorou on the suipo night, and a pair of calfskin boots taken therefrom. Jewellers and others would do well by keep ing a watch for silver spoons or incited metal of that description. The Gardiner Claim.— The committee got up by the locofoco majority in Congress before its adjournment to investigate the Gardiner claim and particularly to blacken Thomas Cor vviu's character, has had its fingers burnt rather sorely—incontestiblo evidence having, it is suited, been produced to exonerate Mr. Cor win from all censure.

The formation of parties, while it subjects us to many evils, yet is productive of good. If marks the main points m which the people ' differ as to the general policy of the country, and by so doing, attracts (he particular atten- j tion of the people to such leading questions, i From the nature of the case, we cannot all 1 expect to approve every act, or every princi ple set forth by each party ; but it becomes us, after a fair dnd candid examination of the platform of each party, and after a study of their pqst history, fo form our conclusion, and in_ accordance therewith, deposite our vote, if every one pursued this course, one of the greatest evils following the forma tion of parties, would be avoided. The fan cied moral bond which makes a man either whig or democrat once, always so ; which im plies some kind of moral impropriety, some kind of traitorlsm, a want of stability or firmness to him, who, convinced of error, chooses to change his vote from the candidate of one party for that of the other, ought to be discarded by every good citizen The oft repeated reference to the democracy of our progenitors as a proof of our own legitimacy, is the course of a demagogue who wishv-s b deceive you, or the bray of one who has thought little of his words or the meaning thereof. Think for a moment of the egregi ous folly. Worse than this, of the actual wrong you do the country. When you say you are a whig or a democrat, and permit such a remark to bind you to the wheels of partv, no matter what their course of policy, do you not see how you abandon every prero gative of the freeman? lL,w you give up your best and richest privilege, the right of thought, and to whom ? To a set of vultures, who make an easy living off such lifeless carcasses, and who will eventually destroy the existence of our government, oind for what . do you thus degrade yourselves from the high position of freemen to that of slave- ? 1< >r the valuable and distinguished honor of cry ing f am a whig and have always he n one: I am a democrat and my fathers were before me, This may be said with truth and honor. I'.ut how few cases are there where it is said from a pure approval of the doctrines of each party I How many where the pride of party begets the statement ? It is with such feelings that I would draw your attention to the coming elections, arid would ask of you to throw nside the shackles of party; lay down the chains which mark your slavery, and put on the robe of freedom. Allow me, if you will, for a few numbers, in which I will en deavor plainly and fairly to state my reasons fur voting tiiis fill the Whig Stare Ticket and for the Scott and Graham Electoral Tick et. If the arguments convince you of their truth, vote with me. If you think the wel fare of the country demands a different vote, so deposite it. Each having done his duty, our rest will be sweet, and we may safely trust cur country to the care of ifim who rules over all. KISIIACOQUILLAS. For th? V.•'•wistnwii Gazette.
