From the Cape Girdrdeau Patriot.
THE PROSPECT


The news from every State. in which there has
been recent manifestations of the public mind, is
truly cheering spirit Of patriotic enthusiasm
is pervading the length and breadth of this vast
republic. The honest laborer who is to receive
the proffered blessing of a reduction of his wages
of labor for the privilege of subtreasury, is begin
ming seriously to reflect upon the subject, and ask
himself if he is not sufficiently blessed upon that
point already. The serious and thinking portion
of the great body of American freemen, have en-
CURED, and are still enquiring if the great and i'm
mortal Jefferson, ever demanded, through sub
Treasury, the purse of the nation, or called for a
standing army of 5000 men, TO be chartered
among the people in time of profound peace, to aid
the encroachment of, and strengthen Executive
power. They ask, ibid the illusrious Washington
or any OF his successors countenance the admission
of free negro testimony against free white Amer
lean citizen, and that man an officer 10 his coun-
try's navy of the gag-law uniformly practsed
throughout the country, upon all, who will not
spaniel like, lick the hand that incts tnem is one
to which freemen will submit! When they see
daily increasing National debt, and hard money
government constantly begging for treasury notes.
they cannot refrain from thinking wrOng-some-
thing rotten at the Capitol, and loudly call for
change Of rulers
These things should must, yea will tell upon
the people of Missouri, who, though they have
ardenly supported the administration, yet will ere
long denounce, not that they love Van Buren, or
Benton less, but that they love their country more

THE CHURCH AND STATE PARTY.

In our last we published what We deemed the
evidence, or more properly the germ of political
coalition with branch of the Christian Church,
and adduced the result of the late election in the
city of Baltimore as confirming the impressions so
generally excited. We now direct the attention
of our readers not only to the silence of our cotem.
porary in reference to so momentous and com.
manding subject but to (r5-an article in his owr
paper, attempting to analogue the great truths Of
Christianity with the principles of his po7itica
party! That the article is eminentlv Catholic the
following paragraph will suffice to demonstrate:
"No policy can be more Ubiquitous in it:

TESTIMONY OF GENERAL SCOTT.

In the Pittsburgh Gazette which reached US
yesterday, we find the following letter, in which
gallant soldier bears direct and honorable testmo
ny TO the galantry of brother officer:
SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 20, 1870
Dear Sir:-Your complimentary letter of the
10th instant, inviting me on the part Of the Har
rlson Committee OF correspondence for Butler
county, to visit you, and be present at Conven.
ton at Pittsburgh, has found me in this place.
A tour through the Keystone State would be
highly interesting to me, but my public duties at
this time forbid, and ought to add, that as an
officer Of the Federal Government | early pre-
scrbed to myself the rule to abstain from taking
an active part in the conflict OF politics. Hence,
in thirty two years, have not been to the Polls,
or to party meeting. This official reserve has,
however, never prevented me from discussing with
the spirit Of freeman, in my casual intercourse
of society, the merits Of all public men and pub.
lie measures of my time. Thus 1t has fallen in
my ,ody to bear jealous testimony to the distin-
guiShed services of General Harrison, both as a
statesman and a soldier. With those services
hare long been familiar, and can only attribute
to gross ignorance or to party malignity, the re.
cent imputations to which you allude
If at the end Of the late war with Great Britain,
or at the end Of that so successfully waged by
General Wayne against the North western In
dams, any person had shamelully impeached the
courage Of General Harrioon, he would, am full.
y persuaded, have had not only his patriotism,
but his courage denied by every honest hearted
American. 1t was never my fortune to serve in
the same field with General Harrison-butI uell
remember the admiration entertained by my i'm.
mediate associates in arms of the Hero of Tippe
canoe, Fort Meigs and the Rirer Thames. THIS
sentiment, as far as erer kne,o or beliered, ,cas
common throughout our armies, both officers ana
men, placing him Nth one accord, in The class o.
our most gallant and successful commanders.
Without meaning to violate the selfimposed re
strcton mentioned above, cannot, being direct
ly appealed to by your respectable committee

The Kennsbec Journal, published in Augusta,
Maine, speaking Of the result Of the election be-
tween Kent and Fairfield, the candidates for Gov
ernor, says
THE Age still persists--for effect abroad-in
claiming majority Of votes for Fairfield. We
soIemny assure our friends-if any Of them have
been led to believe their statenents-that they are
FALSE. and the editors know them to be so /! and
few days since in our streets, one Of the editors
backed out Of $40 bet he made with sterling
wing of flullowel, that Fairfield had more votes
than Kent, He could publish in his columns that
such was the fact, and although forever betting,
burst not rsque III dollar bill on the truth of his
own assertion p"

may have no better paternity than the press Of the
office. holders, in the town Of Fsyette.
What, however, we most designed TO say, is
this In q government like ours, where the press
is free, its Righteousness becomes the greatest pos
sible crime against society. BY fomenting partizan
strife to an extreme which rejects every thing
tchich is SAID, or PROVEN, by an adrersary, a
dishonest and INSCRIPTIONS cliqse, who chance to
have control of village press, not only succeed
in intoxicating and implanting the most unfounded
prejudices against those who are assumed to stand
in the way Of their own evil and sinister designs,
but those who even read such papers grow up, not
only in utter ignorance of the true history Of pub
lie men or public sures, but with false and cor
rupted understanding of BOTH which renders them
the contempt of oil well and properly informed men,
save only where Pity, for the decisions which have
been practsed upon them by the press, absorbs the
former feeling.
Such IS one of the effects of reading and relying
upon such presses as are now too generally in the
service Of Mr.. Van Buren,. Another effect is, or
will be, that hundreds end thousands of such citi-
zens--upright and sensible men, but mised by the
causes we have glanced at-will give votes, ON
Monday next, which they will repent and be
ashamed of so soon as their minds regain that
state when truth and fairness can impress their
beauties on their Icing excited understanding.
Then pM be THAT TERRIBLE RETRIBUTIoN, rhicl
The renal are experiencing in nearly every other
State--and until them and for those times, pray
our readers to preserve such copies of the Demo-
cra, and other assailants of General Harrison, as
they can lay their hands upon. The time is conf
ing when it will be of self reproach, Cat leas)
if not of public and neghborhood Gems sure, that a
citizen supported press which did nothing but
mislead and misinform him-and for this purpose,
aud the more genera! one of preventing the effects
of ANY new and FUTURE poisons which may be at,
tempted by our contemporary, we again pray our
readers to procure and preserve the mementos OF
the PAST. They will be as antidoles--potent and
fectual--against any and every thing, which may
be said HEREAFTER, by the same beaten and DIS
honored conspirators, or those who may be deegat-
ed to succeed and represent them.

PoLITIcs IN MAINE.--The Loco Foco Legislature
of Maine, now in session, has changed the cleo
ton laws, opening a wide door to fraud. The
new law permits the inhabitants Of unurganized
places or plantations to vote where they please, and
without much, if any, examination as to their
rights. 1t also throws open the British dumnons
upon Maine. 1t is, as it has been justly denomi-
mated, virtually ga bill to secure the vote of Maine
to Van Buren,, by double OF treble voting in the
woods and by New Brunswick trespassers in the
disputed territory" Nevertheless the Wings of
Maine can carry the State in spite of hundred
such laws.-They are not in mood now to be
outraged with impunity .-St Louis Bulletin.

The prostitution Of The public press

duty of every moral and intelligent community
of every sensible and upright citizen who respects
himself--to look back upon the course and conduct
of those who have had control of that portion Of
the press of the country which has not more mis-

election, than it has imposed upon them in refer
ence to all the leading acs involved in the issue.
