He it was, who, in the war gi 1812, although scarce ly more than a boy in years, stemmed the tide of disaster which 'had befallen our arms, and taught the 4merican troops to defeatzhe well-drilled veterans of, Eng land. The whole life of the 'veteran has ' been devoted- to the discipline and ith provement of every branch of the service. It was his perfect kn owledge:of. the wants of an army in 'the field that enabled him to conduct the Mexican war to its incoesil ful and brilliant termination: ' Of the ma ny distinguished ,Cienersls then in service none wore so. well qualified are Winfield Scott to bring to it fortunate issue that hazardous campaign. and to itchier(' vie tories which commanded the unlimited plause of Wellington himself; .Featii like his performed in either the English, or French servioe would have been rewarded by the highest military titles and by peer ages apd - ponsicins. i Of the'latter of these, thank heaven, our country. has no pre coddles ; but a higher military gaule than our service recognises was due him; and we cannot conceive how'any 'represonta tire of the penple, with an American heart in his bosom, could refuse to vote him a distinction so hardly earned and so well deserved.

Ennoas :—The pant week has been an exciting one among politicians and the-friends of the several aspirants for the U. S. Senatorship. Some 60 or 70 nominations were made in the Senate and Hones ; but of- these not more than eight er ten were intended to be seriously urged. The American party having nearly three fourths of the members in their ranks, and thus being able to elect whom they pleased, the chief interest of course centered' in their movements.. Unfortunately, howev 'er, the harmony of the 'American caucus was broken by the persistent and injudi cious policy of the friends of several of the leading candidates, and by allegations of corrupt' influences: On Friday night the American memberi of the Senate and House were invited to meet In the East Committee Room to nominate a candidate for 'United States Senator. Ninetrone members appeared and participated in the proeeedings--between thirty and forty of whom were American Democrats. Messrs. Gross and North, of Lancaster, and one or two other special friends ol Simon Came ron, had refused to attend the previous 'caucuses, and eve. voted against the Amer ican nominees for Speaker of the House, and State Treasurer. Their right to par. ticipate in the proceedings of lids caucus, when they did not recognise the validity 'otintuous nominations,' was denied, and a motion made to that effect. This, bower. ever, afters protracted and exciting debate, was laid on the table by the aid of the votes of Messrs. North, Grass and Co. This , was the entering wedge to the subsequent difficulties, which were increased by the failure of a motion to ballot openly for a candidate-44 voting for open ballot, and 47 for secret tallot--the friends of Cameron generally votingfor the latter. Rumors had been rife throughout the day in regard to corrupt influences, more . particularly on the part of Cameron's friends; and in the Bar-rooms, Oyster Saloons, and other places of resort, the names of members al lodged to have been bought by money, with the prices paid, were freely and open. ly canvassed. The open ballot was designed to make these men difaee the musio." Up on this being lost, the most intense excite ment ensued, in the midst of which the caucus proceeded to ballot with the follow ing result : 12,521 24 2.101 82 10,001 44 lit ballot. 2d 8d 4th sth 6th• Cameron, 27 29 85 88 41 46 Curtain; • 11 12 17 21 85 38 Cooper, 5 5 5 8 1 2 Wilma, 6 8 8 6 2 2 Jayne, 8 10 7 4 8 2 111 1 1 1 Johnston, 10 ' 6 5 4 1 Conrad, 4 5 6 4 2 Veeeh, 6 8 2 2 1 '•2 8 4 1 Stevens, 1 • Smyser. • 8 2 NoOrehead, 1• 1 Todd, 1 1 Tiffany, 4 2 Evans, 1 • Darlington, 1 Jones, 3 8 ' 8 Littell, 1 • Clapp, 8 2 91 91 91 91 91 92 On the Bth ballot it was discovered that a fraudulent vote had beep cast--92 votea being announced, while only 91 members were present. Intense excitement ensued, in the midst of which a motion to adjourn was made, but ruled out of order by the chairman, Mr. Smut, (a Cameron Whig.) Outraged by this decision of the Chair, aid satisfied that conropt intinenies were at work, My. SIMPSON, of Philadelphia,.call ed upon all dm friends . of open ballot and fair play to lease the room, when 82 mem bers bolted. Ffty•nine remained, and pro ceeded to & seventh ballot, as foliates : Cameron, Curtain, Cooper, The cancan then adjourned, between one and two o'clock at n!ght—the town being full of.rumora as to bribery.and Qor raption, and thefrierids of the several candi dates charging the most shameful viola tient' of promises on the part" of members. Matters thus continued until last night, the market value of Mepibers and Senttora being freeli cenvissed . at prices ranging from $5 to $1,000; In one case I heard the name of a West ern member whose vote was alledged to have been bought for 85—also the name of a Senator who commanded s9oo—snd others between these amounts. Last night the old•line Democrats, (29 In number,) had a caucus, and agreed upon Senator Buou.a.zw as their candidate. The old line Whigs (numbering 8) nominated Mr. Wimests, of Allegheny, while the bolt• ing Americans agreed to cast their votes in such a way as should best contribute to the defeat of Cameron. I may here re mark that among the anti• Cameron bolters were a number of American Democrats— Lowe, of Franklin; Laporte, of Bradford; Linderman, of Berko; Cummings, of Philadelphia ; McCalmont, of Venango; Lathrop, of Susquehanna, and others. This morning the Hall of the House with the lobbies was densely crowded at an early hour by strangers and citizens, anxious to witness the "free fight." Long before the hour designated for the Joint Convention, it was almost impossible to effect an entrance into the House. .Beth Houses spent an hour or more on usual business, which was interrupted in' the Senate by the introduction of-a Resolu tion by Mr. JORDAN, authorizing the ap pointment of a Joint Committee of three from each Honse to inquire into the char ges of corrupt or iiproper ipflueices, in• connection with the Senatorial election, the Committee to have power to send for persons and papers. The Resolution was promptly and unan imously adopted by'the Senate, and sent to the Honse,,where, after a sharp :discus sion, it wsiradopted by a' votit 497 to I. At 12 o'clock the members of the Sen. are, proceeded to the Hall of the Rouse; and the 'Joint Convention proceeded to ballot for U. S. Senator, with the follow. ing result : Fimon Cameron, (American Dem) 58 Charles It. Dorkelam, (Old line Dam) 28 Thumaa Williams, (021-line Whig) . Jame' Weal), (American Dem.) 7 David Wilmot.(American Dem.) .9 J. heath/ Jaw. (Anteriemn Dem.) I I *Mattering . . • • ' IO There being ,no election, an attempt was made, to 'adjourn for three week., which yea lost--yeas 60, nays 69. A see., and ballot was then order i ed, with the fol.. lowing result—the gain for Cameron be. ing the vote of SALLADE. of Berke, who* deserted Buokalow and went over to Cant-i eron : Camerae. 59 Beekelew, 27 Wil Wl mot. . I a Verrett. 8 Jones. 7 aleattsring, I I There.beag spin no election, a motion to adjourn two weeks was carried amid intenee excitement--ayes 66, nays 62. Thus ends the fight for the present.— Opinions vary sto the effect of this poet. ponement, the general impression, however, being that it seals Cameron's late. I hope it may prove tree. The fifteen anti-Cam ron Americans, who remained in caucus after the bolting of their follow metnbers, and who regarded themselves bound by the action of the mucus, will now doubt. loss fell themselves absolved from all fur- ther obligation to vote for Cameron.— They have now voted for him, and having failed to Act, can fairly fall back upon some other candidate. In this conneotion, it is no more than due to your Senator, (Dr. 11Imusamt,) to say that his course to day on the Sena- oriel quesiton baa won him golden opin ions. He was one of the anti• Cameron Americans Who remained in mums, after the bolt. He had Voted for STEVENS. Coona, and Cunruf,in Caucus, but hav ing remained with the 59, in common with them he felt the obligations of the caucus action, but could not reconcile it with his dense ofduty to cast his vote for Caine ron. If he voted for Senator, having par.' ticipated .in the caucus to the end, ho would be under obligation to vote for the caucus nominee. So thought and acted his colleagues, as will be seen by the vote' —Cameron receiving 68 votes on the 6rat ballot—just the number who remained in caucus. ninus Dr. MELusiaztt. Unwil-- ling, however, to bear the imputation of having contributed to Cameron's election, he declined voting far Senator, refusing to answer to his name, until the vote on ad journment was called, when he voted in `the affirmative. For thus adopting a course which re. lieved him from the embarnutsnent of a caucus obligation, Dr Mellinger today received the tvartnest congratulations of his friends. I notic'ed in frequent illusion ces the anti• Cameron men evincing their appreciation. of his manly course by cor- dial acknowledgments. while the Comoro nians passed him with a frown. ' Mr. M'CLEArr, your-member. voted with the old-lino Democrats for Buckalew.— He also voted for postponing the elec. tion. Twenty-eight of the bolting Anleritana have bunted a strong address in vindica tion of their course. in which, after recit• ing the history of the caucus proceedings, they give s number of insuperable objec tions to Mr. Ommootes election. They charge him with having been treacherous in his put party professions—with hav- ing sought and effected an - entranee into the American organization, covertly and at a late hour, solely with the view of pros. tituting into the promotion of his, selfish aims—and republish a series of resolutions adopted at a County Convention in Har risburg, as late as last September, of which he was a member, and without op position from him. These resolutions, of fered by Cameron's colleague in that Con vention, and said to be in Cameron's own hand-writing, affirm the fullest confidence in the administrations of Gen. Pierce and Gov. Bigler—endoree the Nehraaka-Ken• eas Bill—and denounce Know Nothing ism as anti republican and proaiiriPtive. and call upon the Deinocracy "to 'opinion for office all who are known to have any connection with it." . They also allude to the element of i.sitameless and wholesale private bri= bery," said to have been used by Canirerr . ion and his friends, and announee their unwillingness to sanction this corruption by their rotes. The Address Is strongly wriften, end will do good. ICrThe Joint Special Committee under the resolution to investigate the charges of bribery in the matter of the election of a 11. S. Senator, consists of Messrs. Jordan, M'Clintock, and Browne, of the Senate, and Eyster, Thompson, and Ballade, of the House. Ihe United States Senate, last week, after variously amending Mr. Brod head's Bounty Land bill, passed the some finally,by a vote_ of 30 to 15. It is very comprehensive in its provisions; iving 160 acres of land to all who served not less than fourteen days in any of the Indian or other wars previmts to ,and embracing the war of 1812, or to their widows and minor children, with deductions where grants , have already been made. under former I sets.
