on the 26th of July next, meets the general ap
probation of the friends and supporters of the
lamented HAnntso . N. The Harrrisbut "Tele-.
graph" sayi:—"We are rejoiced to learn that the
tall for a Convention of the 'friends of Gen. Scott
for the Presidency, meets ivith• an enthusiastic res- .
ponse from the different sections of our State.. We
have been informed by members of the Legista
tare" , from the north and west, , that his cause is
strengthened by daily accessions, and the People
seem anxious to give an expression of their respect
for his character and talents. Every county, we
trust, tilll be represented in the proposed COrive. , "
tion, and yiesfeel every confidence that its o ,ertions
to place Gen. Scott before - the natio., will bo at-
landed with signal succors. The now wavering
will be confirmed in their attachment, and there
will be perfect unity throlig,hout the democratic
liarrison party,. His political creed cannot but be
acceptablehis views ou all the engrossing subjects
of public policy are such as a majority of the na
tion approved in 1840—and his claims on , the love
and gratitudc; of the American people are Unequal!.
ed. These points we shall be prepared to show to
the suisfaction of the most fastidious- 7 and we
sball esteem it our duty, with all deference to these
who differ from us, and impressed, with every res
pect for the distinguished rivals of G. n. Scott, to
press his claims to the considerillion of a National
Convention, with firmness and energy."
The Gettysburg "Stark Republican Banner"
says:-2 , The-holding of this 'convention, we doubt
not, will form an era in our.political times of seine
moment, The friends of our departed,
duped by a conacientious% treacherous successor—
whose garments of Democracy hung loosely about
him for the convenience of an office; have long
enough and when too late, 'repented of their rash
act, in conferring the right of succession (by vir
tue of his difice) to their true hearted chieftain,
upon one, who was unworthy, so much as to un
loose the shoe latchet oC hint "Who reigned a little
month- 7 -then slept the • sleep of death." ' They
have hing enough stood quiet in the 'midst of the
strife which has been waged between secret and .
open political foes on the one hand, and the injur
ed Deniocrac3i, the strong armed people of 1840
on the other. And now that they are rousing from
their despondency, they beginoto cast about for
some, afeirrincipled, tried, consistent chaniPion of
their, principles, who can lead our hosts to a vie,
foiy ? which when achieved will be honorably' nd

I wilFtell you what I did LI few days ago, I had
occasion a short time since to deliver an address on
fashionable wine drinking, kind I laid it down as the;
type of an impolite man, that, though he drank
himself, he should compel others to drink ajso. So
it would be had mamiern in me, if I, because
di ink cold water, should chuck it down your throats.

I was the same curious genius as before, and siMl,

laugh.! And I asked him to go and 'dine with
mem o we went certainly to the finestlating house
I e , cr saw. I said, there is the bill of fare, take
your choice; and helped Myself to a delicious
glass of ice water. I told him to .call for what he.
liked; "you •know," I said, "that I cannot colt Mr
wine, but'eall for whailan please." , He culled for
a bottle of wine, and I continued to drink water.—
He took.one or two glattses, but lie wanted some
one to drink with him, and lie became uneasy. I
did not smile, however, but continued to sip the
water. At length he put the bottle away,he couldn't
drink by himself, and said ' , do you know, Marshall.
I don't care much for wine, any how." "Don't,
you," I "then why do you drink it!" lie
vent home with me,.and last night he walked into
the Tabernacle, and signed the pledge, [applausel
and is now a cold water man.•
There was another instance the ether day. One
of the noblest fellows in theworld, an °tricot in the
United States Army—a than aye, 'every inch a
man," with ihe mould of Hercules, and an arm
strong enough to fell a hundred of his country's
files; and an"eye. bright, • except when under the
damning influence of alcohol—bright and clear as
the unhoodci falcon.' lie taunted me with being a
humbug, - and spoke of my exhibiting myself, at
Temperance meetings. I saw his condition, and I
kept my eye upon him, and I, saw he felt, in the
bitterness of his soul, the advantage I has over hint.
When he 'saw:: me' afterwards. he apologized, add
asked my pardon for what he had said, am' not five
minutes since he' put that manly signature to the
pledge. (Great applause.) Allow-Me then to say,
that we should associate no other subject with that
•of temperance. .We are ith heretics; phut you can
not split our cliurch s , no way you can fix it. . It is
one and indivisible. We have no dark and obscure
doctrines. •We pledge. ourselves not to driitk al
coholic liquors. This. is a simple doctrine. and
cannot be subject to prejudice or digute. We are
no more enemies to religion, than we are enemies
to our country, because we do not mingle in party
.politics. Ours is the simple standard of tee-totalism,
which once neent moderation, now it is total-ab
stinence, and that is 'the true philosophy..
, Now we Washingtonians,esk the ladies to come
forward and use their influence in persuading men
to abandon this most pernicious of all vices. I
have argued on this subject eo ofen, Igie and in
other places,that I fear I shall repeat the same things

clares that when duties upon foreign impor

.That is, when Congress grants to

also giv=e urto-the government the, public

"that one good turn deserves another,
Let us look, at this matter 'carefully.—
Congress,ispow informed, and, as fares -we
can learn, is about to act upon the informa
tion, that no Tariff Bill can become a law,
which imposes duties for. other purposes
than those of necessary
. revenne.. This is
:the principle upon • which the committee, ~.
Which reported the present bill, was . instrnet. -),
ed to act, and tt is the principle upon which
that committee has acted. It ,was the corn- - ,
anittee of-" Ways and Means" :reporting .it
"Revenue,filir to meet the exingencies of ,
the administration-of the Government, by .
laying increased ditties upon articles of for.

and therefore Congress should, on' no art-
