Messrs. Taylor s. Maury have presented to us
volume fresh from the press of A. s. Barnes &
Co., New York, and H. W. Derby s. Co., Cincin-
nett, entitled Introductory Lessons in Reading
and Elocution." The first part is by Richard
Greene Parker, and the second by J. C. Zachos, a
native Greek. 1t belongs to the National School
Series, and bears all the evidences of work well
adapted to its contemplated uses. To speak, to
read, and to write the English language, are ac-
complishments to which but little attention is
paid in the schools of our country. The few
orators who rise among us but serve to excite our
wonder, as to what must have been the converse
tional powers and eloquence of the accomplished
men of Rome, who devoted so many years to the
study Of rhetoric and elocution.

Hon. Fayette mcMuIIln, of Virginia.

We recently quoted couple Of items from the
Alexandria papers, 1--WE think both the Gazette
and Telegraph,) in which it was asserted that
this gentleman had spoken of General Scott as
ga silly old man." 1t is with pleasure that we
learn from Mr.. McMullen that these words are
enormously attributed to him. He states that
he has ever regarded General Scott with high re-
spect, believing him to be THE GENERAL OF THE
AGE, and that at the Alexandria meeting he SC
stated, in connexion with the remark that tn,
county in which he resides was one of the first il
the United States to be named in honor of Gen
Scott Mr.. McMullen also states that his per
sonal relations with General Scott have Away
been Of the most friendly character, and that h
would not by any act or wilful omission do augh
to forfeit the friendship or good opinion of Gen
Scott
We are gratifed that ours is the agreeable
duty of doing justice both to Mr.. McMullen ant
to General Scott; and we are at the same tim,
sure that none win repeat this statement will

only one patent will be necessary for the United
Kingdom and Colonies. The expense of procu-

year, ESQ; at the end Of the seventh year, G100.
The patent is to be void at the end of the third

those periods are not paid. The entire expense
is yet extravagantly large; but great ndvan.
tage is gained by the comparatively small amount
which is necessary in order to give the invention

One Of the Democratic speakers, the other
evening, with great emphasis, remarked that
"Gen. Scott, If elected, would be controlled by
Seward" Gen. Quitman says, "you mistake the

Gen. Scott prides himself specially upon the in
fallibility Of his own judgement. He rarely asks

The Richmond Enquirer--a Democratic paper
Of high position-publshes communication re-
specting the recent appointment Of Mr.. Cohen to
the office of postmaster of Norfolk, and in which
the following paragraph occurs ):
"Mr. Cohen was recently clerk to on exploded
broker-shop in Norfolk, is High Priest in the
Synagogue, keeps holy Saturday, and eschews
hog-meat. We wish him pleasant time till next
March, and warn him to prepare for a Pierce. -
Mr.. Cohen stands high in the community of
Norfolk as gentleman of intelligence and moral
worth. 1t is true he is Jew, and we doubt not
conforms to the requirements of his religious be-
lief; but what of it? Is it required that Jews
in Virginia must be placed on the same footing
with the Roman Catholics of New Hampshire
We are neither Jewish nor Roman Catholic, and
our rights are therefore not directly assailed by
these pinks of Democracy; yet we cannot re-
frain from the expression of our aversion to the
infamous anti-republican tests proposed to be es-
tablished by the pure Democrats of the present
! day. .. W
The Jews were for many a year n prescribed
people in Maryland, until John s. Tyson, "a
hickory Quaker" from Baltimore, demanded and
secured the repeal of the oppressive law !; and we
remember well the letter Of thanks addressed to hin,
By the Roman Catholic Bishop England Of Charles
ton, South Carolina, for his honorable efforts,
making allusion at the same time to the fact that
certain brethren of his own communion were the
subjects of prescription in certain States Of the
Union. In o few years after, the Roman Gothic
lie disability was removed in North Carolina,
with the hearty approval" gentleman near
us assures us, " of William A. Graham"
But we have yet to regret that the model Dem
ocrats of New Hampshire, and some of them
nearer at hand, are less progressive upon this
subject A Roman Catholic and Jew are alike
the objects of their aversion and contempt. To
"keep holy Saturday and eschew hog meat" are
enormous offences. t
There are, to be sure, but few Jews in the Uni
ted States; but few or many, every genuine re-
publican in our country will uphold and sustain
them in their claims to every right and privilege
of citizenship. ~

it as :" slim meeting" but we know that they

in the 9th district.
Judge Biddle is one of the ablest and most

ton are very aattering.
The nomination was unanimously rendered to
Schuyler Colfax, Esq, the able conductor of the

Wing principles upon the stump.
While we regret that this talented young Wing,
who was the candidate two years ago, under Pc
culiarly adverse circumstances, and who notwith-
standing made large inroad upon the Democratic
majority, for reasons which appear satisfactory
to himself if not to his friends, has seen fit to
decline the recently proffered honor, we rejoice

in his stead to bear the Wing flag to battle and to
