 New-YoFk, Sept. IS, rslases the following piquan scene having transpired between twoRof the digni tanes of the loco loco party. Such truth as MT Livingston uttered was too much for the nerves O the choleric Alderman :- ...-.
 The harmony of our locofoco gentry was partially interrupted yesterday by a scene, rather hostet be tween two of their dignitaries. The Hon. CharIe. LaUingstOn late loco loco president Speaker) of oul 1a aOSse s oi hepresentatlves, and Alderman P"rdy ally met in the street Said the Alderman to the | tial question 2"
 Said the Speaker to the Alderman" Matty will The enraged Alderman replied-7 7a No man of ou, party but d--d rascal would make the remark. .' Speokershp slapped the face of his AldermansRip- The parties clinched and the Alderman was tlnbled into the gutter. The Speaker, taking advantage oi his opponents POsition tas Mr Calhoun would say) rudely applied the mud from the sewer to his face Shortly after the parties again met at the Porter House of MT. Ringgold. Now, be it known, thai Ringgold is good natured, pudding face fellow, and when under his roof you are considered on neutral grOHnd. Here the combatants renewed the conver- sation in an angry tone, which resulted in MT. Liv- ingston kicking MT. Purdy out of the house. Do you Bostonlans permit one of your Aldermen to be treated in this style, for only telling brotheF gni- tary that he Is d-d rascal?

 can employ my time better than by giving you short account of some of the sayings and dongs 1.-the peo- pie in the Buckeye state. Lat week Convention was held at Dayton, which the locos themselves ad- mtted numbered seventy-fve thousand Thursday and Friday of this week there was a gathering in Chillcothe. Thursday forenoon it rained hard, which prevented thousands from attending vet al least thirty thousand were present. A procession was formed, which met Gen. Harrison a short dis. tance from the city; and though the rain fell in tor rents, he barred bis head, stood up in open wagon with an umbrella held so high over Rins that all could See his face, and rode in that condition for more than an hour through the town. At 2 o'clock P. M. he addressed the people in speech of hour and for ty minutes duration. His voice is loud and clear, and was heard distinctly by that vast multitude with the deepest interest and attention; andI believe that all who heard him are fully convinced, iha, he yet possesses strong powers of body well as ofmind- He took view of the condition of our country; gave an account of the battle of the Thames; and most concusve'y refuted all those vile islanders in relation to that action, that have been put in circulation for the haseet of purposes, answer to the charge thn, was first made n this ssates that he was mile and half from his men in the time of action. He said that
 
 Court of Justice. will swear ,ha, he was one and half miles from the front of the battle or one mile, or hall mile. or two hundred yards, fifty yards. or even fifty feet from the front of l,e batte then he would give it up and retire from the contests but, said he. here are two men tponng to Col. Todd and Col. Chambers) who were by my side through the whole of that engagement, and know that what say is true. He spoke of Col. K. M. Johnson as a lraye man and a patriot but he showed most concusiyely by fnct and argument, the enfre falsty of those srr,ions that Col Johnson was the panner, or con ductor Of that engagement; fST said he. afier had seen the success of Col James Johnson's division, rode to that part of the field in which Col. R. M. Johnson was engaged, found that he was wounded, took the command of his troops in person. and finish ed up the work he had so hravely and successfully commenced He spoke of the leading measures of the administration, and the tendency of those sures, of their effect upon the institutions of our try. and the necessity of changing the present policy of the government. And believe. that all who heard him were fully convinced that if he is elected. he will carry out those great principles for which we are coniending. He is every where received by the peo- pie with the greatest enthusiasm, and his eloquence convinces them of his capacity 10 ffl the station for which he is nominated, with honor himself and the nation.
 Changes in his favor are taking place here every day. Many men ofinfuence. who have hitherto sup ported Mr Van Buren, and who are personally known to my friends here. say they have been deceived in relation to him by thvse who know better, and that they shall no longer act with party that knowingly and wiIfully practices so much deception am fully
