General Scott
A thrilling account of a speech delivered at a
great ratification - meeting in Hamilton county,
Ohio, lately held, is given in the Cincinnati pa
pers. One of the noblest, among the very many
noble incidents of Winfield Scott's life, was re•
cited with tremendous effect, and was received
with overwhelming and heartfelt applause. We
copy the following account from a Cincinnati
exchange:
"Mr. Gibbons, an Irishman, and with all an
Irishman's fervor in the cause he espouces, was
the next speaker. De proceeded to give his rea.
sons for the support of Scott and Graham in
pteference to the nominees of the.. Democratic
party, So cacti. Scott,-though a staunch Protes•
(ant, was a Catholic man—Catholic, in that his
soul was large enough to tolerate every form of
honestly entertained religious belief. [Applause,
and cries of "sure, and aint we all going for
himr] When the corrupt and prejured English
government would, with characteristic coward'
ice in crushing a fallen foe, have shot the Irish
prisoners taken in the last war with.that country,
General Scott stood up on the quarter deck of an
Englishman•oiwnr—dy'e mind that, boysl—on_
on English man or war—and told the epauletted
hirelings of that damnable government that , thr
emery Iria.man shot Iwo British officers should bile
' the dud !" [Enthusiastic and long continued
cheers for Scott.] That dauntless bearing saved
my countrymen. And can I forget the magna.
nimous actions of the conqueror of Mexico, who
secured a vanquished people all the right of prop•
crty, and more than all this, nil the rights and
privileges of free and unrestricted worship I
Never! Gentlemen', my father fought under
General Scott on the battle field, and, if it please
God, I am going to fight for him in this political
campaign. [Cheers.]
Mr. Gibbons alluded to the clause in the con
stitution of_New Hatnpshire—that State in which
General Pierce is said to be the leading politi
tian—disfranchising all of his faith,land declar
ed that the arch enemies of his dearly beloved
Ireland—Lord Lyndhurst [hisses] or lord Clar
endon [groans]or the Duke of Wellington, should
as soon receive his vote as this Franklin Pierce.
Old and New Deniooraoy.
The Pittsburg Gazette has the following from
an old fashioned correspondent:
CHANGE 01? TACTICS.
I wish to relate an incident that occurred at a
party given by President Madison in 1814, to
show the position occupied by the Federal and
Democratic parties at that day.
At a levee of Mrs. Madison, Mr. Madison re
marked to a number of gentlemen around him,
among whom was Mr. Pheasants, afterwards
Governor of Virginia, holding out his arm,—
"There is not a fiber of anything but American
writ)l in that coat, and as long as I live I intend
to wear nothing but American manufactures."—
Jefferson at that day never wore anything but
American cloth,and on many occasions avowed
his intention of never wearing any other. This
was one of the distinguished characteristics of
the Democratic party at that day.
My informant, in 1844, travelled through Dust
Virginia, and meta number of leading men cloth
ed in the same way, and among them Chief Jus
tice Marshall.
Contrast this with the conduct of the leading
men of the so called Democratic party of the
present day, and tell me, Mr, Editor, whether this
party has not entirely changed its principles.
Scott's Victories
Among the meanest things of the campaign
is the effort made to disparage the brilliancy of
General Scott's achievements in Mexico. It is
said that the investment of Vera Cruz was alone
sufticient—that m fact the kiimplo act of cutting
ofl . the aqueduct would have insured a surren
der.
The castle. of San Juan de Ullea, was once
sopposed to bo almost impregnable. lip to
the nominations of Scott and Pierce the capture
of thin castle was reputed to be a master piece
of military science. But no. Tho Whig can
didate for the Presidency could have done
nothing right, and therefore the public has been
grossly mistaken in its estimate of this, the first
in the train of Scott's Mexican victories. True
the display of energy and skill, the fierce can
nonade and the speedy consumation of the ob
ject struck a wholesome terror into the ranks
ol the opposing armies of Mexico ! Truo the
proof that San Jean de Un!loa was not impreg
nable to Yankee troops, gave fearful warning
of the fall of cities in the interior and the capi
tal itself ! True the case and rapidity with
which Vera Cruz was taken made other victor
ries all the more certain by the demoralizing
effect which conquest always produces upon
the flying or surrendering foe. But what of
all that—Pierce, Pillow, or Colonel VVynkoop
might II eve done otherwise, and therefore bet
ter.
But we warn our Deinocratie friends that the
attempt to pluck these glorious laurels from the
brow of Scott will but sink them in the estima.
tion of all true lovers of their country; —for
his laurels are his country's fame—his achieve.
meats will form the historic pride of Americans
yet unborn.
Mr• Clay's Confidence in Scott
The Hon. Edward Stanly related the follow
ing incident in his recent speech to the Whigs
of New York: In 1839:when we were threa
tened with a war with England, I was with Mr.
Clay on the 22d of February, when he met Mr.
Van Buren, who was his private friend, though
hie public enemy, while it was reported that
the news of hostilities would be heurd of by
the very next mail. Mr. Van Buren himself
was somewhat shaken,—but floury Clay said,
'Sir, 1 have great confidence In Winfield Scott.
His prudence, his valor, his military jedgment
cause me to entertain great hopes of his mis-
MOD ) and I have no doubt whatever of his suc
cess.

Glory to "the Star that never Sets."
The State Election was held in Vermont, on

before them. The Green Mountain Boys have

Locos hav e been preparing for another shout
over this election, but the result has effectual

crease on former results
Gelling nick and Saucy.—Australia, a promis.
ing scion of the Bull family, begins to kick rails
(lam, and will probably break its tether before
long. The Anglo-Australians insist that no more
convicts be dispatched to Van Dieman',e, Land.
The home government, on the other hand, im
peratively declares that individuals who •leave
their country for their country's - good;' - shall he
forwarded to the "fifth quarter" of the world, as.
usual. Australia stands upon its dignity, as a
great natural banking institution, and threatens
a separation. What will be the immediate is
sue of the difficulty, we cannot say; but that the
golden realm of the antipodes will eventually 'se
cede' from the "mother country," we have Ito
manner of doubt. The population of Australia
exceeds by half a million that of the British
North American Colonies in 177 G, and the dis
tance between Sydney and London is four times
greater than between London and New York.—
Under these circumstances, England, notwith
standing her powerful steam marine, cannot re
tain the allegians of the Australians nolens vo'
-lons.—lf-they_hay t e_made up_theiv minds to be
free and independent they will be.
Judge Bradford not Confirmed.—The nornina_
lion of the lion. E. A. Bradford, of Louisiana, to
he a judge of the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the place of Judge McKinley, was laid
upon the table of the Senate last Tuesday. The
reason assigned for this by the apposition coy'
respondent of the Ledger, is "that the opposition
majority of the Senate wished to afford General
Pierce a chance to make a nomination suitable
to their party; it being considered an important
point that the opposition party should be proper"
ly represented in the highest judical tribunal of
the nation."
It would appear from this that the majority in
the Senate were determined to make the Supreme
Gourt subservient to their party. No objection
was made, or could be made, to Judge Bradford
on the score of character or fitness in any re:
spect. All this forestalling, however, will be of
net avail, because Prank Pierce will not have an
opportunity of "appointing. Judges after the 4th
of March next." The duty will be then in the
hands of Gcn. Scott.
Dividend.—The Directors of the Philadelphia
and Wilkesbarre Telegraph Company at their
annual meeting on the 25th of August, declared
a dividend of 2 per cent., payable on the lat of
September. The Company is now entirely clear
'of debt, there being now mote than enough in the
Treasury to pay the required dividend.
Dicadful Accident.—On Friday last, as Mr.
John Rice, of Lower Saucon township, North
ampton county, was engaged in threshing grain,
his son aged about 16 years attempted to place
the strap upon the pulley that is connected with
the cylinder of the machine, whilst it was in mo
tion. , The left hand was caught, and in an in
stant torn off, and thrown some B or 10 feet, and
the arm above the elbow so mangled and torn as
to render the loss of the arm inevitable. Dr.
Seip, of Frecmansburg, was called in, he being
in the neighborhood, and finding the case so
desperate, decided upon ampudiating at once, it
being the only means of saving the young man's
life. The operation was accordingly performed
near the shoulder joint—by the Doctor, on the
afternoon of the same day.--Argus.
So So.—The Auti•Benton party in Missouri are
getting tired of their fight, and want to compro
mise with "Old Bullion." The latter won't have
anything to do with them. The Benton men
have elected their Speaker in the Senate, and
have more votes in the House than the Antics.
One nie.—Two Senatorial districts in North
Carolinn went by one vote at the late election.—
A Whig was elected in Beauford and Ilyde by
one vote, and a locofoco in Camden and Curri.
tuck, in the same way. The Locofocos have the
legislature on joint ballot by two majority. The
change of one vote would make it a tie.
Dead Body ?ound.—The dead body of an old
lady named Elicabeth Mack, was found in Horn's
cornfield', in Lower Mount Bethel, on the 26th of
August. She had been insane fur the past year
and had wandered away from her house some
or 6 weeks before, and her.tiody being much de.
composed. she had doubtless lain there some
lime. An inquest was held on the body by Sul.
omon Basely, Esq., and the Jury rendered a ver
dict that she came to her death by exposure and
want of food.—Argus..
illass Meeting at Lancaster.—The Whig State
Central Committee have called a Mass. Meeting
at Lancaster City, on Thursday, the 16th of Sep
tember. Gen. Leslit'Combs, of Kentucky Judge
Collard, of Philadelphia, lion. Thonias R. Mar.
shall, of Kentucky, and other distinguished speak
ers will be present. The CCunty Committee,
will, it is understood, reconsider their call for a
county meeting, nod agree upon the same day
with the. State Central Committee.
“Let Them Fire."—The Hon. Edward Stanly,
in noticing the allegations of the Locofocos, that
Mr. Clay was opposed to General Scott's election
related the following incident in his speech at
New York last week so At the time the nomina
tion of Gen. 4cott was announced, Mr. Clay was
very ill, and it was feared the firing of .the gnus
might have a Willem upon hini. It was there

The Cincinnati Gazelle of the Ist inst., has the
following article;
GREAT GERMAN. MEETING AT LOCI: RUN ON
MONDAT — TOE GERMAN POPULATION RESOLTINU
To VDTs Toe Wino TICKET ! ! ! A large and
most spirited meeting of the Germans of Lick
Run (one of the Western suburbs of Cincinnati)
and vicinity was held on Monday evening, the
proceedings of which are of the most important
character.
Peter llezh was chosen President, and Michael
Geissler, Secretary.
The call of the meeting was for "the Real
Democracy," and a REAL Democratic meeting it
After able speeches from Messrs. Retinas, Mil.
ler and others, a series of resolutions were pre •
seated and adopted unanimously.
The substance of one of the resolutions is, that
the Germans of that portion of the city will, at
the ensuing election, vote the Whig ticket. The
reasons for this course are given. Disgusted
with the secret cabals of the Miami Tribe, with
the hypocracy and double dealing of the lead
ing politicians of the self styled Democratic par•
ty, we look upon the Whig party as the party of

Shameful Frauds.—Suspicions of fraud having
been excited, by various circumstances connect
ed with the late election in St. Louis, an inves
tigation was made into the subject, when it was
found that four hundred and eleven foreigners
net yet naturalized, hid voted. Besides this,
there were between one and two hundred who
voted twice, and a number of voters exercised
that priviledge six or more times. For these
and similar reasons the election of Mr. Brown-
Loco Foco candidate fur the Sheriffulty, will be
disputed at the next term of the Circuit Court.—
Such practices have it now appears from the
partial investigation made a few days since,
been going on for some years.

Animal orgauic matter . do.
Sulp. of Muri. of Potash & Soda 2} do.

Leibig, says that one pound of Guano impor
ted into a country, is equal in value to eight lbs.
of wheat, or twelve and a half cents. It was Sta.
ted a day or two since, that ten tons of Guano at
$3O per ton, was worth to the farmer $6OO net
profit.
Veterans Organizing for Seott.—The residents
of New York, who have been in various battles
under Gen. Scott, including the Nevi York Vol
unteers in the Mexican War, and a number of
the veterans of 1812, held•a meeting at Constitu
tion Hall, Broadway, N. Y., and formed an asso
