We invite attention to the communica
tion, on the first page of to-day's Repub
lican, of Hugh Graham, a Locofoco neigh
bor of Wm. Searight, the Locofoco candi
date for Canal Cnommissiouer, whicli has
jut made its appearance in theUniontown
Democrat', and we commend it to the
careful perusal of those readers who take
au interest in the proper management of
our public improvements. They will find
it to be a rare document, whicli, although
rich and racy, is an expose not much cal-
culated to elevate the character of the j
Locofoco nominee in the public estima- '
tion. If one half be true- what his Loco-;
foco brother Graham says of him, he is
not the kind of a mau to whom the peo
ple should entrust the management of our J
works. A Canal Commissioner should
be an honest man, who will guard the
public interests instead of uniting with
those who are ever ready to plunder the
public treasury. He should not only be
l.oii"i, but above suspicion. How Sea
right can be made to appear to be so, af-
t r the publication of Graham's cvjwse, we ' from gross neglect on the part of the Com
urc at a loss to know. j missioners, or from a false sense of economy,
This exmsc cannot be met with the usu-! 1 do not pretend to say, but one thing is cer-
al usaertion of Locofocoism that is a Whig ,
lie. Graham is a Locofoco in full stand- (
iug in the part', and had on the Gth inst., '
a Pierce and King hickory pole raised
at his house iu,Fayette county. A num- (
ber of the Uniontown Locofocos attend-
ded the pole raising, showing by their at-;
tendance, the estimation in which ho is
held by them as a good Locofoco.

Fpeaks of a large advance twenty per
cent. in price on boots and shoes, for
the last two months. The profits to some
of the wholesale dealers in that City, who
were fortunate enough to have large
stocks on hand, has been very great.
One house estimates that their stock on
hand and contracted for has increased in
value, within the period mentioned, 880,

on the advance at 40,000.
Recall of the French Minister.
M. Sartiges the French Minister at Wash
ington, has been recalled by his Govern
ment. Representations were made by a
private individual, that he was it the
habit of disturbing the good people of
Washington by shooting rats in his yard
on Sunday. Another charge that he was
very ungcntlemanly and even insulting to
American ladies. We suppose his master
Louis Bonaparte, will give him all the
liberty he requires to shoot rats on Sunday
in his own free country.
Why dont General Scott Resign?
Why did Morris Longstrcth not re
sign in 1848? He was Canal Commis
sioner was confident of being elected
Governor, and yet he held on to his office.
Why did not General Taylor resign in
1848? Why does not King of Alabama
resign? He is president of the Senate,
enjoying a large per diqm salary, and he
continues to hold on to his office. Gen.
Scott would not surrender his sword to
the British and he is not going to give it
up at the request of their locofoco allies.

Mr. Printer : I desire through the col
umns of 3'our paper to call the attention of
our worthy Commissioners to a matter, in
' which they, together with every citizen of
the county, are interested. Upon a recent
; visit to your Borough I discovered that the
Court House presented a very dilapidated con
, dition and is suffering extremely for the want
of repair. Whether this state of things arises

A Voice from the West.
JJjA. famer named Warren Skinner,
at work in the field, in Earlville, Oneida
Co., was struck by lightening and killed,
on Wednesday last, nis clothes were
torn in fragments, and thrown in different
directions more than thirty feet from
where he stood, and both his boots were
entirely torn off and thrown at least 18
feet. There was scarcely a shred of any
part of his clothing left on him. There
were two holes in his head which appear
ed to have been made by the electric fluid,
and also a hole in the bottom of each foot
and a hole in the ground directly under
his foot.
The aggregate value of butter produced
in the United States, is larger than that
of wheat. The price of good butter has
very muoh increased, in the last few years,
and at particular seasons, has been ex
orbitant. Some of the agricultural soci
eties in Pennsylvania are recommending
that greater attention be paid to putting
up firkin butter, which, as made in the
State of New York, for the navy, lias
kept sweet for two years. Liberal pre
miums for the best firkin butter, would
probably produce a better article than is
usually offered under this name.
JTpA despatch from Boston states that
rumors are afloat that a serious difficul
ty has arisen between England and the
United States, growing out of the seizure
of an American fishing vessel at the Mag
dalen islands, which is likely to disturb
the peaceful relation of the two countries.

A Revolutionary Soldier for Scott

was visited by Daniel Spencer, a surviv

over 5 years in that glorious struggle.

A &ood Story for General Scott.
Some four years ago, a young man cal
led at our office to subscribe for the
Weekly Mirror. In the course of conver
sation, he stated that he was a 'returned
volunteer from the Mexican war;' and in
stead of loafing about New York, and
begging alms of the Corporation of the ci
ty and the Legislature of the State, he had
been off to Wisconsin, bought a farm, o
pened a store, and was already Postmas-
f il . Ml TT' 1 1 I
ter oi rnc village, ms origin; eye, ener- ,
getic manner, and manly determination j
to fight his own way through the world j
interested us at once; and on bidding him
good-bye as lie left the office, we remark- j
cd : 'we shall next hear from you as a
member of the Legislature.'
This morning we had a visit from the
young man, whose first words were:
'Your prediction has been fulfilled. I
have been a member of the Legislature
and a Clerk of the House.'
'How are your polities?' we asked.
His re)ly was: '1 am a Democrat; but
out of gratitude for one who
life, I shall vote for Scott.'
'How is that?'
'Why, sir, when I was lying on the stone
floor in the Hospital at Jalapa, parched
with fever, and covered with-sores, with
no one to look after me, Gen. Scott came
in and went around among all the sick
and wounded. He came to me and ask
t r -i- ,i -r.,,. -r-
ed it i vras wounded, l told mm l was
not. but l was very sick and CQuld nQt
u c) . dk , said
General. He then asked me if I was
well tended. I told him I had no atten
tion at all. He then stooped down,lifted
UP m7 feeble arm, felt of my pulse, ex-
amined my fever sores, and sent for the
Surgeon, and asked him why I was thus
neglected. The Sugcon sent for his As
sistant, who, in return, sent for the Ste
ward of the Hospital. The Gen. charged
them to take good care of me; and, on
leaving, told me, if they did not, to re-
port at once to him. So, you see sir, he
saved my life by his kindness, as he did
hundreds of others; and I should be a
scoundrel not to vote for him. They say
he is proud. So he is on horse back on
the battle field he is Major General Scott,
but off, he is a kind hearted, humane man.
I his is a true story and a story to tell.

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Times says that the evidences of
Gen. Scott's popularity are astonishing-

The Whigs of the Western reserve are
unanimous for the Whig candidate, as a
gainst the Democratic Platform, and they
have determined to run no independent
candidate. It is true that Gov. Wood, last
fall, had a majority of ten thousand votes
over both the Whig, and Free Soil tickets;
but tne astounding tact has come to light
that Gov. Wood himself is disaffected, or
at the best indifferent.

a?Tlie Locofoco papers have unearth-
ed a long and angry letter written by Gen
; Jackson to Gen. Scott, in the year 1817.
; This letter is by no means creditable to
j Jackson's temper or reputation, and no
true tnend of that celebrated man would
at this late day give it publicity. Gen
Jackson, subsequently, becamo ashamed
of it; and while he was President honored
Gen. Scott with the most decided marks
ot esteem and confidence. He entrusted
, to Gen. Scott the delicate duty of quelling
the threatened insurrection m South Car-

To the eternal honor of Gen. Scott he
had the courage to decline Gen. Jackson's
challenge. No other eminent American
soldier, except the immortal Washington,
ever refused an invitation to personal
combat with an antagonist of equal rank;
and we insist upon it, that Scott should
be heartily applauded by well-disposed
men ot all classes and parties for his mo
ral firmness in thus manfully refusing to
be governed by the requirements of the
miscalled " code of honor." How many
J valuable lives would have been spared to
the country, if all our eminent men had
religiously abstained, like Generals Wash
ington and Scott, from settling their dif
ferences by the bloody arbitrament of the
duel Whatever fault Gen. Scott's oppo
nents may be pleased to find in his life and
conduct, this incident at least in his pub
j lie career should plead trumpet-tongued
. to his honor, and be hailed with univcr-
sal approval and commendation.

had been cleared off from the army, aud
their places in command supplied by
Brown, Scott, Gaines, Riley, and other
sprigs of " Young America," did said
army begin to meet with any success.
And after it did begin, it went forth like
him who sat on his white horse with a
bow in his hand, ''conquering and to con
quer." And Col. Scott and Gen. Scott
"the hero of Lundy's Land," and of many
other lanes where British bullets and bay
onets were no joke, had a very consider
able share in the very hard fighting that
achieved all this " conquering." We
iconder if anybody in the army in those
days ever dreamed of cowardice in Cap
tain Scott or Colonel Scott or General
Scott? Guess not ! Even the " original
Scott men" of the present dar, who have
stuck to him most constantly and faith
fully from the beginning of his career
no not career nomination we mean
could not be more enthusiastic in praise
of his gallantry, then were all men, of
whatever party, in those fighting days.
The "Federalists" who opposed the war,
were unanimous in praising the chivalrous
gallantry of this then young Colonel and
General ; while the "Republicans," who
made & sustained said war, regarded him
as a real fire-eater. Gen. Scott a coward?
The assertion would not have been quite
safe in 1812, 1813, 1814 and 1815, when
something harder than words was a very
frequent penalty for slandering American
officers, military or naval. And if Gen.
Scott were a coward in the war of 1812, he
must have outgrown the infirmity after
wards, for he certainly did not run away
in Florida, and gave himself numerous
opportunities for smelling powder in Mex-
ico. And Gen. Scott did not dare to
f ook lien. J ackson m the eye! 11c looked

A good story is told, in history, of ' would suggest that the figure shouM . t
Marshal Turenc. In 1774 he marched
into that part of Western Germany then
called the Palatinate, the dominions of
the Duke of Larraine, Elector-Palatine,
and by command of his king, that bigot
ted debauched aud thoroughly selfish ty
rant, Louis XVI, committed horrible de
vastation. The Elector-Palatine, behol
ding from his Castle of Manheim, two
cities and twenty-five villages in flames,
was exasperated into sending a challenge
to Turenne. The French General replied
that, he never fought at the head of less
than 20,000 men. A similar story is told
of Cromwell, and of the Duke of Vendome,
and of Marshal Villars, and of Prince
Eugene, and of the Duke of Marlborough,
and we know not what other great com
manders. But such an answer to such
an invitation would have been just the
thing for cither of them, and would be
quite as good for our Marshall Tureen.
Was Gen. Jackson a fool for sending him
a challenge ? As great a fool as Gen.
Scott would have been for accepting it ;
for as courage is the only quality which
the world regards as tested by a duel,
each of those heroes of many a well-fought
field would have been a fool to seek such
proof. Would anybody have called "Old
Hickory" a coward for challenging " Old
Fuss and Feathers ?" Bah !
But a general officer in command owes
something to his country. Thereforo
while bound to face the bullets of the en
emy, he deserts his post of duty by ven
ture his life in a private quarrel. In son
ing a challenge, Gen. Jackson disregar
ded this important consideration. In re
fusing the challengo, Gen. Scott observed
it. Which did the best? Phil. Ledger.
