GEN. SCOTT.

The Richmond Republican, in giving its reasons
why the Southern Wings should not sustain General
Scott, brought forward as he is under the wings of
Seward and his abolition crew, says:
ssIt is infinite in Seward and his clique

They have broken from the bonds of party in ODE
dience to the interests of section; we will break
from the same bonds whenever party comes in coll-
sion with country. They look with suspicion upon
Northern men who sustained by the friends of the
Constitution we look with equal suspicion upon all
men who sustained by its enemies. The South
goes for section, for party advancement, but
for the Union, for the Constitution, for the Rights of
the States. The whole Wing party of the South
will support Northern Wing known to be true 10

REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE

Laurie Todd, writing in the Home Journal, about
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, relates the fol-
lowing remarkable circumstance:
"About the year 1875 Colonel Burr was owner Of
nearly onefourth of block fronting Nassau, Cedar,
and Liberty streets, and Broadway. He was an en-
inent lawyer, with extensive practice. was in
formed by of the profession that his practice at
one period was worth ten thousand dollars a wear:
used frequently to sit juries in the old City Hall
(now the site of the custom-house) when Hamilton
and Burr were the opposing counsel. They were
both acute lawyers and eloquent speakers. remark
able incident took place one day. They were trying
the validity of will Hamilton, having the will
in his hand, happened to hold it between the window
and his eyes, He rose, and prayed the court to stay
the proceedings, and, handing the will up the judge
q think it Brockholst Livingstone remarked ::
If the court please, there is witness from Heaven
that will this matter reS If the court please,
hold the instrument to look through the paper.
The waer-mark is dated five years after the will
signed. The tesator could not make will five years
after he was dead. Of a verdict for the de-
PENDANT was given at once"

able and mastery manner for which he is noted. He
alluded to the charge preferred against him of being
disunionst and refutedit. He gave the reasons for
his votes on !he compromise measures, and declared
that though opposed to them in their passage, be-
cause he thought the South was imposed upon BY

1t appears from the returns that the State of Mary
land lost last year two hundred and fifteen fugitive
slaves, about two hundred than all that have
been recovered in about the period by the Fug-
tive save-iaw.
These fugitive slaves of Maryland worth
about one hundred thousand dollars, enough TO pay
the expenses of the State government. If that much
property taken from the whole Union by any
foreign State on any pretsnce in year, should
send navies and armies to demand indemnify for the
past and security for the future. But is enticed
from single State by the bad faith of several of her
sisters, ii is regarded very moderate tribute paid
or the privilege of having the South governed by the
North. Southern Press.
According to the Raleigh Register, if Maryland
were 10 lose all her slaves in this way, she would
still be bound to adhere to the Union; and if her
people were to attempt get rid of their connection
with the North they would have to do rebels and
not as citizens. Once in the Union nl1rays in it, is
the doctrine of that paper, unless revelation, set
loot with the view OF getting out, should prove
cessfu.
Have we misrepresented the Register? We think
not; but if we have, let that paper speak, and We
will set it right before our readers.
