LOVE THE OLD.
I love the old, to lean beside
The antique, easy chair,
And pass my fingers softly o'er
A wreath of silvered hair;
To press my glowing lips upon
The furrowed brow, and gaze
Within the sunken eye, where dwells
The "light of other days."
To fold the pale and feeble hand
That on my youthful head
Has lain so tenderly, the while
The evening prayer was said.
To nestle down close to the heart,
And marvel how it held
Such tones of legendary lore,
The chronicles of Eld.
Oh! youth thou host so much of joy,
Bo much of life and love,
So many hopes; Ago has but one:—
The hope oPbliss above.
Then turn awhile from these away
To cheer the old, and bless
The wasted heart-spring with a stream
Of gushing tenderness.
Thou treadest now a path of bloom,
And thine exulting soul
Springs proudly on, as tho' it mocked
At Time's unfelt control.
But they have marched a weary way
Upon a thorny road,
Then soothe the toil-worn spirits, ere
They pass away to Gud.
Yes, lore the aged—bow before
The venerable form,
So soon to soak beyond the sky
A shelter from the storm.
Ay, lore them; let thy silent heart,
With reverence untold,
As pilgrims very near to Heaven,
Regard and love the old.

A Gloomy Pr os pect for Liberty ID
Europe.
Thurlow Weed, Esq., the talented edi
tor of the Albany Evening Journal, who
has just returned from the tour of Europe,
presents the following picture of the pre
sent condition of that part of the world :
. . .
"It is sadly true, that the whole conti
nent of Europe is in a 'condition of pro
found repose.' The despots have retracted
all, or nearly all, that had been extorted
from them. Martial law, or law scarcely
less rigorous, pervades the continent.—
Freedom is crushed to earth, and in most
places even the hopes of freedom have per
ished. .
"Three years ago the European people
held their destiny in their own hands :
The Emperor of Austria and the Kings of
Prussia, Belgium, Saxony, Sardinia, Na
ples, &0., were unable to resist, offered
terms to their subjects : The people com
promised with their rulers : Constitutions
were given. To save their crowns, they
Promised to surround their thrones with
popular institutions. All this was to gain
time. When the popular voice was hush
ed, and the people returned to their occu
pations, their rulers augmented their ar
mies, and with the aid of Russia, recovered
their power, and now their rule is more
grinding than ever. 'ln Naples there is a
despotism as unrelenting and cruel as any
that existed in the darkest ages. In Aus
tria, the masses toil, not for themselves,
but to support an expensive court, and an
overwhelming army. In Belgium and Sar
dinia alone, kings have kept faith with the
people : Every where else they were per
fidious.
"But there is no probability of any 'im
mediate revolution.' The sad failure of
Republicanism in France gave despotism,
advantages which they are improving."
WEBSTER AND CROCKET.--David
Crooket soon after his arrival in the city
of Washington, listened to a speech from
Daniel Webster, and shortly afterwards
meeting him iu the Capitol, accosted him
thus :
"Is this Mr. Webster 2 "
"Yes, sir."
"Tlio groat Mr. Webster of Massachus
etts I"
"I am Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts."
'Well, sir,' continued Mr. Crocket, "I
heard that you wore a great man, but L
don't think so. I heard your speoch,lind
understood every word you said ! '

HUNTINGDON, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1852.
Hope----Man.
The last refuge of man is hope. When
afflictions come upon him fast and thick ;
when care fevers his brain, and sorrow
gnaws his hearti when the tido of misfor
ttne has parted the last cord than held his
bark to her moorings, and the sound of its
parting sinks like a death-knell into his in
most soul, awakening all his sympathies to
the fearful reality of the moment—the in
tensity of - excitement gives way to a burst
of anguish, a bitter tear of disappointment,
or to that more strange and uncontrolable,
yet silent power despondency. But it is
for a moment only—ono convulsive throb
—one long-drawn, heart-heaving sigh, and
it is all over—a flush passes over the heart
like the fleet sunshadow of an April day,
and Hope, the divine prince of cheat, the
glorious emperor of deceivers, sits smiling
on its throne !
And so, not satisfied with having been
befooled a thousand times ten thousand
before; not content to wipe away the tear
of sad and melancholy disappointmet that
has just been made to gush from the
fount of life's feelings; not imagining that
the scene of sorrow through which he bad
just passed could not. be enacted over
again, and that the same foot that spurred
him, can spur him again—be falls down and
worships its light as the Persian kneels at
the sun-god of his soul's idolatry.
" We hope for l ife even in its last hour,
We hope for health when sickness fast draws near.
We hope for freedom when in slavery's power,
We hope for courage when assailed by fear,
We hope for all the sweetest joys of life,
When most afflicted with its deepest strife."
Lake Superior.
There are few persons in this country
and stilt fewer in the Old World, who have
anything like an adequate conception of
the immense extent of this "big drink," as
they say out west. To the lakes of Eu-„,
rope, it bears the same relation in size,
which the Mississippi and Missouri bear to
European rivers—the lakes of England,
Scotland and Switzerland are mere pud
dles in comparison with this great levia
than. The length of lake Supperior is
about five hundred miles. Its greatest
breath one hundred and ninety. Its cir
cumference is about seventeen hundred
miles, or about half the distance from N.
York to Liverpool. Lake Suprior is the
most western of the great chain of lakes
which discharge their waters in the St.
Lawrence. Its depth is nine hundred feet,
while its height above the Atlantic is put
down at nearly six hundred feet. To show
still farther the magnitude of this glorious
lake, we would state that it contains a sin
gle Island almost as large as Scotland—
while it has several as large as the States
of Rhode Island and Delaware. Lake Su
perior is the recipient of some thirty riv
ers.—.llinnesola Democrat.

Letter from a Old Soldier.
We have believed, (says the Hunts
ville Southern .fidvocate,) since the can
vass opened actively, that Scott would
carry Tennessee. There was some disaf
fection at first—seine few soured politicians
flew off—but the bone and anew stood
firm, closed their ranks, fixed bayonets,
and charged upon their opponents. The
indications now aro that the soldier State
is safe for the gallant old soldier who has
always led the columns to victory. As
ono of the many indications we see, we
copy the following letter from Lieut.
Shields, of Sevier county, East Tennessee.
The Knoxville Register says he “is ono of
those who volunteered from Sevier county
to serve in the Mexican war; was after
wards a lieutenant, commissioned by Polk;
fought in every battle in the valley of
Mexico, was several times wounded in bat
tle, as the scars on his body testify." Ho
now is enthusiastic for Scott. Listen how
he talks about his old commander—his
words come bursting from the heart and
communicate an electric thrill to the
hearts of others:
SEVIERVILLE, August 6, 1852.
To THE EDITOR: I learn by the news
papers that some man in "Little Kentuck"
has become very angry at me because I, a
, Democrat., should support IL3r old comman
der, General Scott. I have supposed this
was a face country, and that a man had a
right to vote for whom he pleased. The
writer of that article says that I am a con
vert. In that you are correct; I was a
Democrat, and at first felt like supporting
Pierce; but when I remembered the trials
and dangers I had gone through with while
under Scott, I did' not feel that I could
do my feelings justice and vote against
him..
When I thought of' the long and toil
some march from Vera Cruz to the oity of
Mexico, when we were fifty days in the
heart of an enemy'b country, out off from
all supplies, as well as from all communi
cation with our own country and friends,
surounded by guerillas on every side; and
wham von hoard of us again we had plan
ted the star spangle banner upon the Halls
of the Montezumas, and it was still float
ing triumphantly in the breeze over as
brave an army and as noble a commander
as ever went forth to battle; and when I
heard my brave old commander abused I
could stand it no longer. Well do I re
member with what kindness he visited the
sick and wounded in that campaign, and
how he administered to thou' wants day af
ter day. I tell you, Mr. Editor, the of
ficers and soldiers under his command
loved him. You, may brother soldiers,
remember how he visited the hospitals in
the city of Mexico, and how ho adminis
tered to the wants of the sick—furnishing
each man with a shirt, a blanket, a pair of
shoes, and one dollar's worth of tobacco;
and I for one drew all these comforts, and
a knapsack also, as did all others who lo`st
theirs in battle. But now I am to be
abused because I choose to vote for my
kind, generous, noble, and brave old cow-
mander and that, too, by a man who fires
from behind masked battery and won't
sign his name.
_ .
I venture the man that has writtem
against me, and who is trying to tear down
Scott, never slept on a wet blanket; never
stood sentry at night for his country; was
never put on half rations and hard crack
ers, and was never compelled to drink
warm water, unless it was to work off a
dose of physic. But if lam not mistaken,
in November next we will give you a hasty
plate of Scott soup, that you will find
warm enough for your comfort, and the
water of it shall be real Niagara water.
But I said the soldiers 'tinder Scott's
command loved him. You, brother sold
iers, remember the morning he loft the army
for the United States, and wjrat was done
that day; yes, every regithent marched
round his quarters, clad with a badge of
mourning, m order to show how they hon
ored and loved him. You know we had
orders not to cheer; but ono of the volun
teer companies was obliged to cheer and
break the solemn silence, and cheer they
did. This was a company of sharpshoot
tars who took a part at Vera Cruz and
Cerro Gordo, and who did so much of the
guerilla fighting on the road to the valley
of Mexico. They were a noble set of fel
lows, and did their duty to a man. You
all remember how slow and sluggishly we
marched up the hill that brought us in
view of the capital, before the battle of
Contreras, and, on arriving at the top of
it, there was our commander looking
through his spy glass and crying out to us
as we passed him; "Boys, the capital, the
capital, the capital!" Myf follow soldiers,
how did you feel in that hour? Didn't
you feel new life tako hold of your wea
ry, worn limbs; and were we not led on
from victory to victory, until Scott was
arrested and torn away from his noble ar
my by his own Government? But, by the
blessing of God, we will try and be with
him again in November; and whenever
Scott leads victory is sure. Newspapers
may talk about Sevier county fulling off
five hundred votes, and all that kind of
stuff, but with old Scott as our leads, she
will roll up the largest Whig vote she ev
er gave. The "pine-knot boys who ser
ved under him are hero, and they will
count in any crowd.
And now, fellow soldiers, let's give "a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto-,
gether" for our bravo old chieftain,Gen
eral Scott. " Eyes right," " orward
march." J, W SHIELDS.
Undeniable Facts.
Under the Tanilf of '42, we built mills
and created machinery that enabled us, in
less than six years from the date of its en
actment to increase the cosumption of cot
ton from 267,000' to more than 600,000
bales; and to increase the consumption per
head from 7 to 13 pounds, with every rea
son to expect it would reach twenty pounds,
to the great advantage of the producer of
cotton, and the consumer of cloth.
We opened mines and built furnaces that
enabled us to increase the domestic pro
duction of iron from 200,000 to more than
800,000 tons, and to increase the con
sumption per head from thirty-eight to.
ninety-eight pounds per head.
We built rolling mills that enabled us
to commence tie manufacture of railroad
iron and extend it in that brief period•to
almost 100,000 tens.
We increased the production of lead
from 480,000 to 800,000 pigs; that of
hemp from 14,000 to 60,000 bales; and
that of wool from 48 to 70 millions of
pounds.
The manufacture of corn end hay into
pork and beef, butter, cheese and lard, was
extending itself at a rapid rate unexampled
in the world, and the value per ton of the
exports from the cast to the west, was al
ready advancing.
We thus made a market for more cotton,
and yet had more to export: and the tariff
of 1842, that found prices lower than they
had over been before, loft them already ad
vanced one-fourth, with every reason to
expect they would soon be permanently
fluxed at a higher standard than had been
known for twenty years.
1 'We thus made a domestic market for
food to be consumed by the growers of
wool and hemp, and the producers of cloth
and iron, coal and lead, to the annual ex
tent of more than ono hundred millions of
dollars, and yet our exports rose from
fourteen millions in 1841-2, to twenty
four millions iu 1845-6.
We consumed more fish and exported
more naval stores, and the prices of all
things rose, and the tariff bf 1842 leaving
them much higher than it had found them.
We produced more and cosumed more of
everything. The condition of the . people'
steadily improved—the credit of onr banks'
and that of the State and General Govern
ment were restored, and there was a degree
of quiet prosperity such as never had be
fore been seen in any portion of the world.
Confidence in the future prevailed through
out the whole range of society.
UNDER the Tariff of 1846, wo have clos
ed cotton mills, and driven down the man-.
ufacture of cotton from 600,000 to 467,0-
00 bales and have, in the last three years
decreased the consumption of cloth, for
eign, and domestic, per head, 25 per cent.
We have closed woolen mills, and have
in the last three years diminished the eon
gumption of cloth foreign and domestic,
20 per cent.
We have closed mines and furnaces, and
have diminished by fifty per cent, the pro
duction of iron, foreign and domestic, has
fallen from ninety eight to seventy pounds
per head.
We have closed rolling mills untill we
have almost annihilated the manufacture
of railroad iron, and destroyed the compe
tition, for the sale of an article so necessa
ry for the cheap transportation to market
of our products.
We have diminished the export of lead
from 800,000 to 300,000 pigs; that of
hemp from 60,000 to 19,000 bales, and
and the products of wool at least 10:000,-
000 of pounds.
The manufacture of corn and hay into
pork and beef, butter, cheese and lard, de
clines daily, and the value of exports from
the West to the East has fallen from p 2
per ton in 1845 to $4O per ton in 1851.
We have thus diminished the market for
cotton, and have placed ourselves under
the necessity for exporting more, the con
sequence of which is seen in the fact that
it has fallen even below the price of the
revenue tariff of 1840-2, then the lowest
that had ever been known, with a certainty
of great further decline, should the crops
prove large.
. . . . _ .
iVo hai;e diminished the domestic mar
ket for food to be consumed by the grow
ers of wool and hemp, and the producers
of cloth and of iron, coal and lead, and
that diminution cannot be estimated at
less than fifty millions of dollars per an
num; and yet our ability to supply food to
the world, declines from year to year, as the
manufacture of corn and hay into pork,
beet butter, cheese and lard, declines, as
we become more dependent upon foreign
nations for wool and hemp, lead, cloth and
iron.
The imports of fish exceed the export—
that of rice has fallen in both quantity and
price, and that of naval store has increas
ed in quantity, while it hay declined in
amount.
We produu less of everthing, and the
consumption of all articles of necessity is
gradually declining, providing a steady
deterioration in the condition of our peo
ple. We arc running in debt to foreign
nations for articles of luxury. Specula
tion is every where, and confidence is no
where—for every man feels that each year
is bringing us nearer' mid uchrer to a con
vulsion similar to that which has rendered
memorable the period of the revenue tariff
of 18411-2.—Plough Loom and

General Scott's Tour.
The Democratic organs are unable to de
cide how they can best dispose of General
Scott's visit to the West. Sonic have
seized it in savage mood, and fulminated
denunciations against the General for un
dertaking what they arc pleased to term a
canvass in his own behalf. Others, having
faith in their satirical power, and in the
supposed effect of ridicule upon the public
mind, try to laugh themselves out of the
difficulty at the expense of Gen. Scott.
Ono class pronounce the proceeding, the
most monstrous in our republican•history,•
and expatiate'on'the clatigdi- to popular lib
erty involved in the daring attempt to car
ry the Presidency by storm. The other
treat it as a joke, excellent to democratic
lookers-On, but fatal to those engaged in it.
A third class laugh and cry alternately,
'tearing passion to tatters; on one day,-and
struggling in feeble imitation of Punch on.
another. Of this hybrid order; the Wash
ington Union is a rather conspicuous metn ,
her.
To the character and censor of wit,. the
Union now adds that of the discoverer.—
In yesterday's issue it says:
"It is a remarkable fact that the Whig
candidate for the Presidency, journeying , 1
through the most populous and powerful
section of the country, and met from time
to time by throngs Of men who come to see
him as an aspirant for the highest civil
trust in their gift, has spoken of nothing,
seriously but his campaigns and his battles.
Ile has not given utterance to a single pc
!Weal idea. If he speaks himself out tru
ly, his every public thought is of gunpow
der or the bayonet. The bivouac, tne vol
ley, and the charge are the web and woof
of all his harangues. It is simply as a
soldier, openly as a soldier, and a mere
soldier, that he asks the people to give him
civil power. Ile does not intimate any
other claim or think of any additional qual
ification."
It is remarkable, no doubt, to Demo
cratic judgments; that General Scott has
allowed nearly three weeks of continued
and intimate intercourse with largo masses
of people to pass without urging his own
"claims" to the Presidency. Sp much self
denial is au impossibility, according to De
mocratic belief. It is not credible that
while General Pierce has been indirectly
engaged in canvassing, General Scott should
have so many excellent opportunities to
canvass and yet not avail himself of them.
It is beyond comprehension that so much
exertion should be needed to procure cer
tificates of General Pierce's excellent re
putation, and that General Scott should be
able to rely upon the reputation created by
his services without a single certificate to'
help him. We agree with the Union that;
with its experience during the present can
vass, "all this is new," and not only new,
but "remarkable."
If General Scott had been on an election
tour, and had spoken as a candidate seine
fifteen or twenty times without alluding to
any thing but his sword, the discovery of
the Union would be a point in the cam
paign. lint as this contingency does not
exist, and has not existed, the surprise of
our contemporary, though cleverly feigned,
is not likely to be shared by others. Gen
eral Scott has avoided politics because the
object of his journey was non-politician.—
lie has not troubled himself to utter "po
litical ideas," because he has not travel
led as a politician but as a soldier. lie
does not devote himself to a display of his
qualifications as s statesmttn, because he'
,does not visit the States through which he
is passing as a Presidential candidate, but
as commander-in chief, intent upon the dis
charge of a duty devolving upon hitu.
that capacity. lie speaks as a soldier; fur
he appears as a soldier; and howeVer vig
orously the Utrion may labor . to cast ridi
cule upon his oratory, the people will ack
nowledge that his speeches have been wor
thy of his military renown. They arc not
the harangues of a political gamester, ready
to sacrifice character and principle to se
cure a cheer or entrap a vote; they aro
the heart-offerings of one who has presen
ted himself as a soldier to receive the eon
gratulations of the thousauds who admired
and loved him from a remembrance of his
deeds.
The truth is that General Scott's official
visit to the West has incidentally called
forth manifestations of personal popularity
Ifor which his opponents were wholly un
prepared. It has afforded to the citizens
of the West an opportunity of becoming
personally acquainted with one whose
achievements fill so large a space in the
history of the country; and the extent to
which they have availed themselves of it
arouses apprehensions in the breasts of the
Democratic managers. The masses of our
countrymen have been able to see and

VOL. 17, NO. 42.
The tour has demonstrated that general
Scott has more than the endorsement of his
party to rely upon. It has shown dirt the
favor with which he is regarded by the
people is not circumscribed within the
boundaries of party, but ranges wherever
a kowledge of his life and services had ex
tended. It is not wehderfnl; then, that

upon a platform broad enetikli; and strong

and points of faith and practice. A party

members can have but one inducement for
I cohesion, the temptations of office, and the
allurements of public plunder.
Channing's Tribute to (4en. firott.
It is a singular fact, that the , most dis
tinguished of our American generals—
I thosewhose achievements on'the field of
battle, and whose brilliant success& in
arms have shed unfading lustre on their
names, have always been foremost in de
precating war and its results. Washing
ton, though a great general; was a man of
peace. Taylor, though he obeyed his
country's call, oved ndt his char
acter, as a lover of pdace and a hater of
war, ex: ibited itself in the endeavors ho
put forth to soften the horrors of war, and
in the uniform desire he always manifes
ted for peace. It was this quali:y, uni
ted with his characteristic humanity, which
gave him such a hold upon the popular
feeling. Gen. Scott, too, is distinguished
for the same disinterested qualities. Sold
ier as he is, as skilful and bravo as ever
led an army to victory, still he is conspi
cuous for his love of peace Mr.?' for
the possession of those qualities which
ennoWe humanity. This has been ever
his character, and through his - instrumen=
tality our country has several times been
saved from the horrors of war. Bo has
never sought for occasions for war; and
ever gladly welcomed the return of peace.
This trait in his character has been mark
ed in years past, and drawn forth from the
gifted and best in our land the noblest
panegyric. The lamented (gunning, that
great and good man, who was the persiiii
tication almost of the Christian graces,
and - whose tongue was ever eloquent in
defence of the nob!or attributes of human!L
ty, and who, with a zeal tempered with
wisdom, wrote and spoke in favor of hu
man rights,
end for every movement cal
culated to benefit mankind, has - lett recor
ded iii his works a tribute to Gen: Scott,
which is but a just limed of preise duo to
his character. It was written years ago, -
just after the peaceful settlement of our
troubles with Great Britain,•grdwing out
of the North-eastern Boundary. It was
mainly through the influened . of Gen.
Scott, and the dignified yet' eenciliatory
steps taken by him at tLitt tine:, that a
war was prevented with our ancient ene
my. The passage to which we refer iu
Channing's works may be found in the pre
taco to his lecture on war, and is as fol
lows :
"And here lam bound to express my'
gratitude to the Chief Magistrate of the'
Union for the preservation of peace. Ile'
will feel. I trust, that there is a truer
glory in saving a country front war than in
, eiuuiug a hundred battles. Much also is
due to the benctimit, influence of Gl•eneral
Scott. To this distinguished man belongs'
the rare honor of uniting with military en
