In speech made by the Hon. John
NJ. Clayton, at the ratification meet

23d OF June last, he stated as fact
which he knew to be true, that Gen.
Scott, at the close Of the war with
Mexico, was offered the presidency
OF that nation for FIVE years, and the
sum OF one million two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, If he would
take the control Of Mexican affairs;
which offer he is said to have rejec.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.-To show
what the democratic party of East
ern Virginia thinks OF the improve
ment Of Western rivers and harbors,
we quote the following paragraph
from the Richmond Enquirer, the
leading organ of that party in the
"Old Dominion:' .....
Now is the time TO give proper
direction TO the sentiments Of our
new voters. They will plant them.
selves firmly by our platform, il our
presses and onr writing and talking
friends will speak out loudly in true
democratic appeals. The history of
the last session OF Congress teaches
US unmistakabIy that there is no
safety in nominal democratic maiori-
ties in Congress. Unrestrained by
the veto, we have found that men,
calling themselves democrats, and
elected by democrats. leave US upon
nearly every measure addressed to
their selfish or sectional feelings, and
upon all measures involving heavy
expenditures OF money. The ma
jority of our party in Congress have
generally p:oven true TO our plat
form and principles; but we have as
generally been defeated by finch
ing or specializing minority of them
cooperating with a solid body OF
wings. Look at the votes upon the
harbor bill. and upon the details of
almost every heavy appropriation
bill, and you find this 10 be true.
This would not have been the case if
we had had n true democrat in the
Presidential chair; il the exercise OF
the veto power had been appre.
hended; for the people have always
sustained it, and will continue to
sustain it when welded to check the
extravagances and usurpations oI
federal legislation. Wavering demo
Gratis will be slow to make issue upon
it at the polls.

that the Locolocos should rally under

OBITUARY.

Died Mt St. Adams Vt, October IS, after a
long and severe sickness, FIDELIA B. GADcoMB,
the wife of LAWRENCE BRAiNERD, aged SO.
The subject of this record was a member Of
the First Congregational Church in ST. Adams.
She publicly protested her faith in the Saviour
April l4th, 1916. Her religious experience
was marked from the first with a decisveness
peculiarly satisfactory to the members Of the
Church, and her profession was adorned with
fervency remarkably uniform, and deport-
ment uniformly exemplary.
The deceased was married January 4th,
1919 Position and afluence only made her
rare culture and piety the more available for
usefulness. Active, sympathzing, and self
sacrificing she showed her faith by her works.
And long will she be remembered by the many
who have enjoyed her presence and assistance
in times Of sickness, or affection, or want She
was especially interested in that class Of her
fellow beings whom Slavery has made of no
reputation" And many have enjoyed her
benefcence without knowing 10 whom they
were indebted.
Of the wife and the mother the sacredness
Of those relations forbids more 10 be said, than
that all which was extraordinary in her deyo-
tedness and efficiency cannot but make the be-
rcavement of the husband and the children
the more severe Numerous, too, are the other
relatives and acquaintance to whom she was
endeared, and in whose affections
She hath left void that naught
But mournfu thoughts can OIL +"
And she herself was not unacquainted with
