SAEsAPAR1LLA PREPARAT1oNs.-As the reader
will see, we are now advertising Sarsaparllla pre-
parations, by Doctors ToeRsend and Wood, and the
Yellow Dock and SarsNparHla by DR.. Gaysou; all
of which are highly recommended. Of the valuable
medicinal properties of the Sarsaparila there can be
no question, but of the comparative merits of the
several preparations We pretend rot to know, as but
one kind has been tried within our immediate per
sonal knowledge, and that was DR.. Towusend's.-
We knoo several individuals who have tried tli.
preparation as a remedy for the s%crofula complaint,
Of long standing; in one Of the cases hereditary, and
from the use of several bottles Of the Sar8apmilla
during six months past, the results were highly be-
neticial, and such that we can cheerfulIy recon-
mend the trial of this medicine to all who are thus
afflicted.

RETURN AND RECEpTIoN or GENERAL SCorT.-
Gen. Scott arrived at his home in Elizabcthtown n.
j., on the Goth ult, having declined to accept the
honors which different cities of his country had
eagerly ~profered him, while resting under the dis
appreciation Of his official superiors. He ought to
feel satisfied that the people appreciate not only his
brilliant public services, but also the honor which
that same disapprobation reflects upon him. Envy
and d~ctraction are the only need which it is posi-
bic or becoming for the great to receive Mt tile hands
Of the base.
At the urgent invitation of the Common Council
of the City of New York, he however suffered
himself to be conveyed to that city as its guest;
arriving on the afternoon Of the 25th, on board the
splendid steamboat st. Nicholas, which bad been
volunteered for the purpose by its owner, attended
by the Committee of the Common Council, togeth-
or with a large party of military gentlemen and dis
tinguishcd citizens. His reception was very en-
thusiastic, of course, all the city, military and I'M
military, being out to honor him in their different
methods.

DEMOCRATIC NoMINATIoH.-Lewi5 Cass, thoucl
nearly as far from orr choice for President as any
man can be, is to us q most acceptable selection as
candNtdte Of the now undisguiscd Slavery party Of
the United States. The elements of positive weak.
ness in the person of the nominee, are nearly a:
unmingled as could be desired or hoped for. In our
humble judgment, the leaders of this party could
rot have searched out deeper political bascncss to
make y fit instrument Of their designs and a fit OBJ
.jcct Of the scornof honestmon; nor could they have
descended q step lower in search of s~hallownoss.
folly and vanity to cover their candidate with ridi-
culc, unless by nominating Gideon J. Pillow.
These arc no sudden thoughts. We have reasons for
this opinion, which we shall withhold no longer than
press of matter compcls us to. Meantime, all we
can say is, that the nomination and al the circum-
stances attending it arc pregnant with encourage
lncnt to the Wing cause, and that the Wings have
only to be true to themselves and their appropriate
leader, whoever he be-to the man with whom are
their hearts and their strengthen order to sweep
out once more and forever the harry brood who
have long rayencd upon the vitals of thoir country;
upon its morals, its peace, its liberty, its treasure,

PATENT LAws,-Wc have received and cXamin-
ed the work this week advertised by Messrs. Kings
ley and & PRISON, aud can most checrfully say, it
is as valuable as they recommend it to be. Having
for a few years past madc it our aim to become ac-
quainted with the Laws and usages of different Ma
tons, relative to issuing Patents, we have sought
for the essential points in a conrenient compass, and
now think we have found tho desired collection in
the work named. We can therefore recommend
this work to all who have made discoveries worth
patenting, as the best we know of for Inventors
generally, since by Just obtaining it and thoroughly
porusing its contents, the inventor may save hun
drcds or thousands of dollars in consequence of pos
sessing this valuable guide. We hope Vermont

ticularly Mr.. King, spoke eloquently and boldly
against the extension of slavery into new territory,
and avowed for themselves and their friends a de-
termination of uncompromising resistance to it
Mr.. Henry A.. Foster also spoke OH the part of the
Syracuse delegates.
Mr.. Yancey then obtained the floor and offered a
resolution declaring the Syracuse (Hunker) Dele
gates entitled to their seats, which he supported sole
~, rs would appear, on the ground Of anti-demo-
cratic views held by the opposite faction, without
any reference to the regularity Or irregularity of the
appointment of either set. Similar arrogant ground
was taken in the afternoon by other Southern gen
tlcmen, and;th determination of the South to rule
the party and make subserviency to slavery the
grand test of membership for the future was boldly
avowcd.
Mr.. Thompson of n. J. and Mr., Turney of Tenn.

patriotic and explosive test into the party. The

by instructions from the Indiana State Convention,

ResoLted, That the New York Delegation known
as the Syracuse or " Hunker' Delegation, are right
fully entitled to cast the vote Of said State in Con
~vention.

1877 to IS.
A motion being made to proceed to nominate a
Candidate for President of the United States, Mr..
Cambrcleng rose and asked leave for the Barnbur-
ners' Delegation to retire, which was granted, and
the Delegation vent out. subsequently, a protest
was read by Mr.. Smith in behalf of the same Dele
cation, refusing to take sides in tic Convention I'M
der the resolution admitting both partios.)
a communication was read from james X. Polk,
by which he magnanimouslg and with great ap-
plausc relieved the Convention from the very en-
barrassing influence Of his own woighty claims for
the nomination; expressing his earnest desire to re-
tire into private life, which WAS, with much reluc-
lance Of course, acceded to.
The resolution to ballot for the Presidential Can
didate was then passed, and James Buchanan, Lewis
Cass, and Levi Woodbury. were put in nomination

WEST POINT AcADEMY.-In consequence of
the deep interest felt by the public IN the
permanency and perpetuity of West Point Ac-
ademy, since the commencement of the Mex-
can war, we despatched special reporter,
on Thursday last, to take notes of two addresses
made TO the cadets of that institution, by the Hon.
Ashbel Smith, of Texas, and Col. Doniphan, of
Missouri, members of the Board of Visitors, de-
livered on behalf of the Board. Although some OPP
position may, heretofore, have manifested itself to
this Academy 1t is believed that, since the deeds
of noble daring performed by the graduates of this
military school upon the various battle fields in
Mexico, where unerring science and military skill
not unfrequently decided the fate Of the day. little
or no hostility is now felt to this noble institution in
any quarter of the Union. We have just seen and
conversed with Major Lander, of kentucky, one
of the board of visters, who informs that great
unanmty prevailed among the members of the
board as to the utility and great importance Of
this institution, in a national point of view. Major
l.. informs us that the discipline, police, and gene
raj management of the academy are in the highest
state of professionalism the attainments Of the pro-
fessors and assistant professors of the academic
board, in the various branches of science taught in
this school, Of the highest order; and that their
high moral bearing, and the rigid moral code
adopted by them for the government OF the cadets,
would do honor to any religious sect in Chnsten-
dom. We say of this institution, as an English
jurst said of the British consttution-esto per-
