The Whig Ticket.

Never have the Wings Of Ohio presented a
ticket which has been more cordially endorsed
than the one now presented for the sufrages
of the people. 1t is composed Of the ablest
men in the Wing ranks. and enjoys the res
pect of even our Democrat opponents, who
oppose them ssfelNbecause they are Wings.
1t is strong ticke: and will command at the
polls more than an ordinary support The or
gans of the Free Democracy, howeveripursue
a course of misrepresentation an vituperation
not inconsistent with their known hatred for
every person who refuses TO bow to them
and worship the 'one idea A late number
of the Sentinel eclipses all other deceney ar
ticles of that class of politicians with column
of TRADE and misrepresentation from the pen
of the Representative to Congress. The
'vindictiveness with which he pursues the OBJ
iect of his abuse is not likely to do the
Wings harm and every such article from that
source we hail as harbinger of good. The
puerile efforts of the sainted Representative
are welcome through that channel. So go
ahead. Connest Reporter.

scoote splrit aud aTagnanimity,

The life of Gen. Scott abounds with many
anecdotes of his moral and physical courage
his quickness to perceive and punish an in
suit. and his magnanimity when the foe was
suppliant and within his power The follow
ing viii be relished highly, as affording good
idea of SCOTS character when he was a mere
STRIPPING soldier. soon after he had been taken
captive BY General Sheaffe, at the battle. o.
Queenstown. He was supping with the Gen
eral and other British officers, when one o.
them, a fippant and impertinent coxcomb
holding the title Of Colonel, asked the young
captain if he had ever seen the Niagara Falls
Scottrepled. Yes from the American side
TO this theother sarcastically replied. "You
must haye the glory of a successful fight. be-
fore you can view the cataract in all its gran
deurf-laeaning from the Canada shore.
SCOTS blood was instantly aroused, and be
tartly rejoined
lift be your intention ito insult me, sir
honor should have prompted you first to
return me my sword I
General Sheafe rebuked the British Colon
el and the matter was dropped.
About year after, at the Battle of Fort
George, the same officer. badly wounded, was
among the earliest prisoners taken by Scott
The young commander gave orders that he
should be treated with oil possible attention
and kindness, and called upon him after the
battle was over, to see that his personal wants
had not neglected. At this interview the
prisoner delicately remarked to Scott
1 have long owed you an apology, SIR
You have overwhelmed me With your kind
ness You can now. at your leisure, view
the Falls in all their gloryl'
Such acts of magnanimity as these reflect
hoRor on human nature.

that on the day he left, letter was received
from Gov. Ramsey. announcing the entire fail

influence, had declared his intention of having
nothing to do with the overtures OF other In
dians. or of the Government. Gov. Ramsey
was expected to arrive at st Paul, with the
Commissioners on Wednesday last His next
endeavor would be to persuade the Cbippe-
was, who had moved back to their old lands
in Minnesota, to vacate them and return to
their proper hunting grounds. These treaties
and forfeitures of treaty, are costing the Gov
ernment deal of money, in the way of pres

dollars for removing, or promising to remove

Encounter between FOOte and Quitman

The following from the Memphis Enquirer
shows that serious difficulty now exists be.
tween Generals Quitman and Foote. But as
Quitman's feelings are strongly in favor of the
Cuban patriots, his blood had better be shed
on the Queen Of the Antelas, than American
soil. The Cuban patriots now want heroes OIL
martyrs, as the case may be.
4 We regret to learn that personal difficult
ty occurred between the candidates for Cover
nor in Mississippi Gems. Foote and Quitman,
on Friday last the 18th inst during their dis
cussion at Sledgeville, in Pamela county. The
circumstance, as we have them were these:
They having agreed, before leaving jackson
to refrain from all personalities IN their dis
cussious. General Foote deemed it no infrac-
ton of this agreement to allude to Gen. Quit
mans connection with the late Cuban ex-
pedition, and had done so at several appoint
ments previous to the one at Sledgeville, how
ever, when Gen Foote spoke of tho Cuban
affair. Gen. Quitman stopped him and said
that il was "ungentlemanly and dishonest
thus to violate their agreement Thereupon
General Foote called him liar Blows
we're instantly exchanged but their mutual
friends interposed and separated the comba-
tants. We understand that Gen. Quitman
has signifed his determination not to speak
with Gen. Foote at any more'of their joint
appointments.
Postscript-Since the above was in type
we learn from reliable authority that Gen.
Foote made no allussion whatever to the
Cuban affair in his first speech but that Gen.
Quitman himself introduced the subjecti in his
reply, and assailed the Adminitration in strong
terms for its course inregard to that matter
Gen, Foote's remarks were solely in rejoindel
and in defence of the Government
