Goovention was aot quite broad enough to bold
. Geo. Scott and bio big feathers, aad.beace be
: concluded to add anothor plonk’ to it, called tbo
• Wan Plank, on which be wishes all foreigners
to fight for two long years, before they will be
allowed to rote for President. There is some
thing in this idea of Gen. Scott so ridiealons, so
unjust, so tyrannical, so odious, so anti-Ameri
con, tbat no right thinking man can contemplate
it without pitying the weakness of tbo man who
could come to suchr“hasly" conclusions. ; : ■
Just thiuk of it for a moment! The Whig
candidate for President, if elected, will not allow
■ ' n German or Irishman, or nay other foreigner,
■who forsakes oppression, the right to-vote in this
glorious laud of liberty, vnlit A« has seraet! two
Hears in the Army or Xavy, dobing actual wae!
If tbo country ehoald be so fortunnto as not to
■get into-war, then no foreigner has a chance of
becomiug a.citizen of. the United States, accord*
, ing to the conditions prescribed by Gen. Scott,
■ in bis celebrated letter to Geobob IV. Rebd, of
■ Philadelphia, in 1811.
A largo majority-of those who emigrato to tho
United States are peaceablo agriculturists, who
are of coarse unacquainted with military life.—
They have been raised to tho plough, the hoe
and the spade. They coma to oar shores to get
clear of the wars, the blood-shed, the tyranny,
the oppression, which hare for centuries cursed
Europe, and made it a charnel-house of murder
ed men.- They settle on our beautiful western
prairies, and under their industrious hancPs the
■ wilderness is made to blossom as the rose. .They
• ' develops the resourcea:of our country, open out
its hidden treasures, add to its population, in
crease its wealth, and build up its greatness and
glory.
«But,” says Gen. Scott to these,men,you
shall not become citizens of the United States,
you shall not vote, yon shall not hold office, un
til after you have spent two years hero first in
fighting, in shooting down your fellow-men, and
making tho earth ran Btreams of blood! ”r Oh,
bow horrible is that thought I. It is-enough to
make one think that the dark ages ore again to
; cam'o upon us, when lordly oppression and. mili
tary despotism and wholesale tnnrder shall curse
the land, instead of that glorious miUenium, that
heavenly period, so long and eo aniieuslydook
ed for, whoa the sword shall be turned into the
pruning hook, and wars shall be known no more.
The Whigs have nominated as their onngidale
for the Presidonoy, the Commander-in-Cblef of
tho Army of the United States; Gen. Winfield
Scott, who entertains the obnoxious sentiments
■above alluded to. Long tried patriots; and states-’
men of acknowledged abilities, were “laid on
the shelf,” because they were not *• available, ’’
and a mere military hero* who does not possess
a single civil qualification, was taken up as the
" standard-bearer of the Whigs!, Gen. Scow.is a
' mere professional-soldier, and it is worse than,
ridiculous for the Whigs to urge his claims upon
■ auy other grounds.. ;. Fighting is bis trade, ■ and 1
he is unacquainted with any other. ois thooghts
. ore ever concentrated on that subjeot, asw refer
, . enoe to hi 3 numeroas “hosty ” letters will fully
■■■u. prove. He seeks to convert this into a military
government, .which is ever the preeuwor of a
military despotism - . >
-v . - l)o the Pcoplewlsh to have-a change like thisT
We hope not,'- —we believe not. They desire' to
v see the government administered in tho'Bimple#
quiet and peoceftd method marked out by the
fathers of the Kppublio. They wish to have an.
- . - ~ir- Execntive who 'is not only a Statesman nad a
/ Patriot, bat a man who will interpose no barriers
tothotidc.of emigration; who wilt.administer
the laws faithfully and fearfully, without being

Our readers mill excuse us for indicting them
frith so large an amount of this verbiage; of the
Gazette. We bail not room for it yesterday,, and:
if we bad we would not liave oppressed their
stomuebs with, it after taking tho dose they bad
to swallow in giving an acconut of that “well ins
formed Irishman,” who bos been caught by the
Gazette and its friends away oat in Illinois.
Can it be possible that tho editor thinks that
his stereotype twattle about putting out tho fires
of the furnaces, and seven columns of Sheriff’s
sales in Clarion county, can fool the people at
every annual election? Ilis lamentation is the
same (that he uttered before tho last Gubernato
rial elcotion; the same that has been kept up for
years, and will continue to bo kept up until tho
editor of tho Gazette can. become fttruthful
chronicler of events.
It would bo labor lost on our part to notice the
absurd bombast in which the editor runs in an
effort to make himself believe that Clarion county -
is ruined. We give our- readers sufficient of it,
however, to cuuso them to laugh at his folly, and
to excite their contempt for his numerous false
hoods.
Judge Meyers and his fanny son retailed the
some kind of staff in *5l; and what was tho rev
suit? Why, an overwhelming Democratic ma
jority in Clarion. The people gave ns littlo crc
denoe to'the statements of the itinerating Myers
as they now concede to the foolish inventions of
the Gazotto, and every voice that reaches us,
gives full assurance that the Democratic furnaces
in Clarion arc in fall blast, and that on the day
of election they will turn out on extra quantity
of first rate Democratic metal.
IMPORTANT CASES.
On Wednesday, on motion of Job U. Tyson,
of Philadelphia, and J. Ross fiaowden, llsq., of
this city, the Supreme Court granted an alter
native vimtlamus at the inslanco of tho Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, ngaiust Measrs. Gam
hie, Morrison and Clover, the Canal Commiasian
ers, for refusing motive power transportation to
.said Company on the Philadelphia and Colombia
Railroad. . And also a simitar mandamus was
opened, on motion of the same gentlemen, at the
instance of’ David Miller, of Lancaster; county.
Mr. .Hiller is the owner of cars, and has been
accustomed to carry passengers on his own ac.
count from Philadelphia to. Columbia and inter
mediate points.
The: causes of complaint in these cases arise
from the exclusive contract which* the Canal
Commissioners have made with Mcbsps. Bingham
& Dock. The validity of tlmt contract will he
tested by these proceedings; and nlso tho ques
tion determined, whether the Canal Commission
ers possess tlio. power to exclude persons from
the proper use of the public works, or whether,
in regard to those publia works, their datics and
powers do not merely consist in their having a
superintendence and regulation of the same.—
There may bn other questions involved; for we
have not fully examined the petition and affida
vits on file in the Supreme Court, ltscems that
heretofore the: Philadelphia andiColumbia Rail
road was used by any person or company which
choose to embark in the enterprise of carrying
passengers; it is an important question, there
fore, whether a contract can be made by which
a monopoly of that business can-bo conferred on
any person. The writs in these cases are made
returnable on the SSHlrinst., and they will, we
learn, bo argued as soon thereafter ns the busi
ness before tho Supreme Conrt will permit.
THI3 I'IVE BULLIONS LOAN.
The Philadelphia Ledger (money article) of
Wednesday says: “We learn from Harrisburg,
that Gov. Bigler has determined to accept no
more of tho bids for tho five millions loan opened
yesterday than will nay tho six per cent, bonds.
The premiams oq this amount of the State debt
will put aboat $53,000 into tbo sinking fand, and
save an annual interest of about $25,000. C.

Notwithstanding the Whigs insinuate that Gen.
Fierce did not do his duty in Mexico tm<l was a
coward, the Legislature of bis nativo State, on
tho 23d of June, 1818, passed a resolution of
thanks for his galtant services and distinguished
bravery in Mexico.
The vote on this resolution is worth recording.
Intko Houeo it xtasunanimous. In the Senate, two
voted against it, and they took occasion to ex
plain their, votes on the ground that they were
men of peace anti ciuld' not applaud any of the
achievement « of Avar ;at the same time oxpressing
the highest respect for Gen. Pierce.
. In 1843 the Legislature passed a resolution
appropriating five hundred dollars, to be placed
nf'lhe disposal of tho Governor of New Hamp
shire, to purchase Gen. Pierce a sword as a fur"
thertestimonial of, their high appreciation of his
services and'valor in Mexico.

WILSON M’CANDLESS
PiTTSfimioUi Soptj 10; 1852.
CincinkvM, Sept. 3, 1852,
De.iti Sik: l have, ns you are fully aware,
since I have bad the privilege of voting, always
voted for and advocated whig measures and men; 1
aud l intend.to advocate them until l shall be
convinced that they are wrung. "But; in the pre
sent presidential question, I am fully convinced
of. the .honesty,:., integrity and ability of General
Pieroe ; for I have known hiin personalty, end
fool satisfied -that ho is; too; good s patriot and
lover of his country to allow any parly feeling to
influence him .'contrary to his good judgment; in
the exercise of his prerogatives if elected, to the
detriment of his country. I admire Gen. Pierce
for his ability sni modesty , and shall; if I live,
give him my vote ami do all in my power to get
others to do the same.
Gen. Scott’s laurels as a hero are enough to
satisfy tho vanity of aay olhcrtmm living; and,
although the country is indebted to him for some’
of its military glory, it has acknowledged the
fact by placing him at tbc head of that braucb
for which nature has so eminently, befitted him.
Further than this, I cannot go for Gen. Scott.
As for Gen. Pierce’s military capacity, that is
of no importance now. Ho wns uot long enough
in the service to be spoiled by it - and: I tbink,
from what little I saw of ttc two men; that Gen.
Pierce is by far the best fitted of the two for the
Presidency of these United States.
If I am wrong, it is not by desire to do injus
tice to Gen. Scott., I would not attempt to low
er him in the estimation of his countrymen; but
I would raise Gem Piercoto the Presidency in
preference to General Scott, beoauso I think’be
(Scott),is now as high ns wo can make him, and
that, too, on the ladder adapted to his peculiar
talent.
In respect to the persons who impeach the
courage and valor of Gen. Pierce, I would say
that most of them either did not; servo in Mexi
co, or serving there, sustained rather equivocal
reputations.
Tho story of .Gen. .Fierce having fainted is U
contemptibty twisted and over wrought one
And although bo mao have fainted, it is.no evi
dence of want of courage; for I saw an Instance
on the sarno field and on the same day, whcn.it
is said P. fainted, which I. think goad evidence'
that the truest and bravest men may faint from
pain and suffering.
Onr lamented townsman. .Lieut. Irons, nid-de
.camp.to Gen. Cad wnllader, whoi:a courage no man
has ever or ever wilt doubt, wastikeu nick on
Ids horse, and was lifted from it, exhausted and
insensible, by. (I think) Capt. W. 1). Irwiu, the
er-Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, aud my
self.
But it is folly to talk about sneb Urines. Ido
Dot believe that there waa a single mao, officer
or private, in the campaign of Mexico, who, hira
eelE a brace man, Wonid cast any sueUlmputaiion
upon Gen. Pierce, if ho knew him; and if be did
not know him, ,of course he could not-
Gen. Pierce is a iimd-benrtcd, pteasant and
atiable man, anil in hi- maimer, ’ easy of ap
proach, totally void of hauteur or vanity.
. So uow you have my opinion of Geo’s.. Scott
and I‘terce, as also my intention to vote when
the time comes, and 1 still calt myself a Whig. .

• For the Paifc.
UIDGWAY, ScpM,
..-■Messrs, H.viums oc Vihlups:— My attention
Is here called to the copy of, a notice, signed
“Wm. P. Johnston,Chairmanef Committee,”eail
ing a meeting of tlio Scott and Graham Club, nt
theoffico of tho/Allegheny Valley Bailroad—as
also in your paper, a severe .animadversion on
Gov. Johnston for calling a political meeting at
said office.
Now, I venture to assert that Gov. Johnston is
entirely ignorant of this use of his name, so far,
at nil events, ns to the meeting being held in the
oolco of the Railroad Company. That gentlemen
has too much self rospeet to permit its use for
political purposes; but 1 do venture to guest that
it comes from a gentleman who is head and front
of that Committee—a political tadpole, who wig
gled for years in the shallow pools of a “one
idea” party, who has lately come upn full grown
Bullfrog in Whig waters, perhaps unless muddy,
bat far deeper, in which he cnn dabhte and splash
bis enlarged dimensions.
’Tie too bad, that while the Governor is in the
JieM.working for tho iutorest of the Road over
whieb.be has charge, politicians at Pittsburgh
should eo annoy its Managers;—whether indis
cretcly, or for sinister motives.
The spirit manifested in the several counties
through which tha road will pass, assures tbo
managers that they will promptly furnish the
subscriptions to. tho extent allowed by the Act
of Assembly.
A .full report will be furnished tho citizons of
Allegheny county, on the return of the President
and Board. Yours, truly,
Coukteiipeit Gou> Com.—Two mon, named
Trodden nnd Craighoad, the former o pclllorand
tbo laltcr a boatman, have been arrested in Phil
adelphia, charged with passing counterfeit gold
coin. Tho police succeeded in obtaining from
the party about two hundred dollars in counter
feit money, consisting of-gold dollars, quarter,
half and whole eagles. > The specimens were ad
mirably executed, and .well calculated to deceive,
tho unwary. A man and.his jwifo woro also ar
rested, on Monday, on suspicion of being con
cerned in the manufacture of the spurious coin.
Tbo officers succeeded in obtaining from tbo
premises a quantity of melted metal resem
bling gold, and two moulds used iu coining the
money.-
A -Jodtcious Law.—The last Legislature of
Maine passed an act making telegraphic compa
nies liable for error in dispatches, either in trans

When wro consider whatporsfiasive powers elo
quence formerly possessed over- tho passions of
men,) another beauty seems added to it. We call
perceive that it is a subject of beaaty.rAnd in
terest, and also one of importance. Of impor
tance,. becauso to what other source can-wo trace
many of the decisions of men, from the verdict
of a jury, to the judgment 'which involves the
liberty, of ■: comtaonwealths f 5 One ■ may reply, 5
that'tis justice,mot eloquence, which thus deter-'
mines the conoluaion of the mind, We believe
this might be a little modified that
Justice may exist without man’s being able to 1
perceive it; .then, .it 5 is necessary to place it in a
proper point of view, in order -to be received in
the apprehensions of all, before it. can be per
formed. It is also sometimes necessary to place
guilt in a proper light, .bofore .it is- really per
ceived to be guilt, or before it can be visited with
deserved, punishment.. The accomplishment of
these ends constitutes a true and noble use of
eloquence, the- one, in fact, to which it is most
frequently applied.. Then, if. eloquence is ne
cessaryfor the protection of innocence, for the
conviction of guilt, what subject can be; more
important ; and viewing its importance' can we,
with propriety, neglect any accessories,, even
those sometimes condemned as trivial, as ges
ture? f
For,proof that legislation is the aourco from
whence have emanated the most remarkable dis
plays of oratory, aro the names of Mirabeau,
Pitt, Curran, and Canning, of Burke, Demos
thenes, Cicero, and tbo majority of all others
whom fame has immortalized. The ends ..for
Which the flattery of Tully, and the oratory of
Demosthenes wore used, 1 have long since passed:
away; but their works and the imitation of their
talent remain as actual guides to tho attainment
of the art. This.attaiument some gentlemen are
occasionally met, who regard themselves ns folly
possessing;, and,'ns being peculiarly gifted with
the qualifications necessary for votaries at the
shrine of Pitho, whereas they might be told,
with more justice, Cui prmsturet in Apotlinem
potenotnm CBt, or *‘ Who would excel in defiance
to Apollo must first be blessed, with the ability:”
The utility of eloquence when exercised over
the passions of men, is its commendation. to the
the notice of the: politician; its elegance forms
an attraction to the student; its beauty, to the
man of taste: and its real value as au agent in
effecting righteous ends is its guaranty to the
special attention of all. A. M.

- The name of Mr. Smith is first among the sign

Scott members of Congress, by the Whig Execu

signcrsdeolare themselves to.he Democrats and

they would be compelled to ,withhold their, sup
port from Picreo and King. Now, if Mr. Smith
is an honest man and dazes to do right, why: did
ho allow his name to appear to a notorious false
hood,"gotten np for tho purpoßO of imposition ?
But he is to superin tend.the dissemination of
correct political information! That moans, wo
suppose, tho sending to the South statements
calculated to. create the impressiou that General
Pierce is on abolitionist; and the sending to the
North statements caieulatod to create the impres
sion that Gen. Pierce as at heart and soul-with
the slavo-holdcrs of ths South ! That is what
he has been doing, and is, wo suppose, on evi
dence .of his honesty, audits nerve to. da right!
Ha will, too, Saperintcnd tho circulation; of a
spurions llfe of Gen. Pierce, gotten up to impose
on the public. That, too; is, doubtless, in the
estimation of the Tribune’s' Washington corres
