ZEN SCOTT. i am glad TO meet you all You have i
met to do some little honor to old soldier, who has
spent long life in the service Of his country; for this
honor, however little deserved thank you-t will be
cherished among my most precious recoectons.
Felow-citizens, you could not hear all OF the able
address of Judge johnson. Pardon in the seeming
egotsm Of alluding to portion OF his speech. Your
speaker alluded to that critical hour in History
when Hull had ingorionsy surrendered and the black
clouds hung threatening in the horizon of below
ed country. 1t was then that called around men
that coud be trusted and told them the hour had
for a decisive bow--that work must be done that
Canada frontier that would lift the hearts Of the Ameri
people from the gloom of and enable
them and their children ring bells, TO fire and
build bonfres in commemoraton Of American Victories
that should obscure the memory OF Hus surrender.
We fell to Work aud the thing done. (Cheers }
The battles Of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane followed
If there sensible in the country that read
this speech and not feel the blush of shame manting his
cheek he must be blinded by party prejudice. When
General Taylor made his speeches they plain and

campaign Of General Scott the of
Hull, was the subordinate affair of General Van

This gentleman, who is the conductor on tho Terre
Haure and Indianapolis Railroad has published card
in the Journal ia which he indulges in all manner of
abuse We clip the following sentence evidence of
the courtesy and poIiteness of this Conductor:
ssIn the article of October the Sentinel exonerates
the President Vice President and Treasurer from all
participation in this affair, and very properly as
they seldom the rain except passengers but
says the remarks intended apply to the hands
engaged in running the trains the Engineer, Baggage
Master, Brakemen, and Conductor, the men who
do this and they therefore the offending parties
The only reply have To make TO this charge U.s. that It
is lie. j. III. OGLESBY,
Conductor of Pas'ger Trn T. H. & r. r. R."
Now, there is some excuse for this language, from

These were the communications made TO us, and it
was fair and proper subject OF newspaper comment
We shall produce the evidence sustain every
ton that we have made. The public then judge
who has made the false statement. This we shall do
in self defense The Captain threatens valiently of
personal chastsement and that shall Eever travel
on his road We have yet learned that Captain
OQlesby owns the road We understand that il belongs
to a company and that Mr. Chauney Rose, of Terre
Haute gentleman in every sense of the term is the
President We desire to have controversy with
the managers of this road The columns OF the sent-
nal will bear evidence Of our friendship. But what we
have stated, and will prove, and Capt ogesby
may his bulletin prohibiting Democrats from tray
cling on 'his7 road il he chooses The country and
the perry will survive the shock. His gasconade can
neither drive from their propriety nor their prnc
pes Nor can his threats silence free press. 3
