and sunshine, are alike to him, when he is
bent upon his object. Hepushes ahead, new

COLUMBUS.
THEY ARE BOLTING IN MICHIGAN.

Our exchanges from all points contain
cards from prominent democrats announcing
their determination TO vote for tie invincible
Hero of Lundy's Lane. We publish some Of
them occasionally as an index, though to
publish them all would occupy too much
space.
The following letter, which we clip from
the Detroit Tribune, is a specimen. That
paper says of the author, J. Wilkie Moore,
that he ''for fifteen years has been an unwa-
uering supporter of locofoco men and meas
ures, and one of the most prominent demo-
Gratis of this city," Read his sentiments:
TO MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS.
FELLow-C w-CITIzEYs:-After due consdera-
ton. | have come to the honest conviction
that the Democratic party is not what it pro-
fesses to be, and that it does not possess the
Jelfersonan doctrine, and is not the working
mans friend. am compelled therefore by
reason and the dictates of my own conscience
to renounce all connection with that party,
hencetorth and forever.
When we reflect for few moments upon
the character of the two candidates for the
office of President of the United States,
how can we hesitate which is most deserving
our votes. Gen. Scott is known to every
man in the Union as patriot and states
man! OF Gen. Pierce we know nothing
He has rendered his country no service, and
riven no evidence of qualification for the of
flee for which he has been nominated. The
exposure of the immense frauds, too, which
have been perpetrted by the State officers,
convince me that they are no longer worthy
of confidence. These considerations have
satisfied me that our only safety is in the sue
cess of the whig party.

had any sound said the "breviations" and
modification table" without missing n word
and then we were ranged on the floor in front
of the ''visitors," to be looked at and to an
swer such questions as they or the teacher
saw fit to ask. "Where was John Rogers
burt to death!" said the teacher to me, in q
commanding voice. l couldn't tell-"the
next"--no answer; Joshua knows" said lit.
tie girl at the foot of the class. "Well," said
the teacher, ''if Joshua knows, he may tell"
"In the fire." said Joshua, looking very solemn
and wise. This was the last question. We
had liberty to make all the noise we pleased
for five minutes and then go home.

SINGULAR PHESoMENoN.-A correspondent
of the Cumberland Telegraph, writing from
Fetterman, (Va.) under date of September 3,
says: ..... ...... .... .. .r.
"Our town was visited last night with n
most singular natural phenomenon nothing
less than flood of insects somewhat similar
in appearance to the miller fly. They ap-
peared instantly, and instantly rooms wherev-
er lights were burning were filled with them,
and such a putting down Of windows and
shutting of doors were never known in this
region before. Some rushing to the streets
with candies in hand were literally compelled
to drop them and rdmOse as they would from
swarm of bees One gentleman set his
lamp in the street and in about five minutes
they were lying on the ground around it to
the depth Of six inches. Bonfres were built,
and rs the blaze cast its light abroad, the
scene was most Singular and in their passage
to the flames looked for all the world like
snow-hakes coming as thick as any snow you
ever saw, pouring II constant living stream
into the fires. Soon men and boys COM
menced shovelling them into the flames,
which caused anything bpt. pleasant sensa-
tons upon oIfactory nerves. Upon obscrva.
ton it was discovered that wherever they
lighted they remained depositing at once two
eGns and then few minutes afterwards ca
piring. Within ten minutes after it was
noticed their numbers were decreasing they
ceased coming entirely"

AN EDITOR IN THE BLUEs.-The Editor of
the Saratoga Republican - a Pierce and King
sheet-pours forth his lamentations in the
following strains; .r.
Printing ESTABLISHMENT FOR SALE
Having made precisely money enough at the
printing business, the subscriber is satisfied
to give up and retire to the poor house. Un-
der these circumstances, he is induced to offer
the Saratoga Republican for sale. The pa
per has u circulation of about 1000 - one
fourth of which may be called paying, and
the other three-fourths non-paying patrons;
The office has good variety ofjob type and
a fair run of work of this description, provid-
ed the work is done at the reduced N. York
prices, and the printer will take 'cats and
dogs" for pay. This village is one of the
prettiest places in the world for newspaper
publisher. Every body will find fault, do the
best you can, and the Editor who pleases
himself will stand but slim chance of pleas
ing any body else. The subscription list and
good will of the Office will be thrown in II
the purchaser will take the type, presses, and
materials for what they are worth, and pay
for them, so that there will be no probability
Of the proprietor being obliged to take the
establishment back and return to the busi-
ness. J. A. COREY.

The New York Tribune examines the
charge of the Democratic papers that Gener-
al Scott has taken to the stump, and says he
has only paused at natural intervals in his
Western trip, as he did on his triumphal way
from the Canada frontier to Washington, al
ter the battle of Lundy's Lane or on his re-
turn from that frontier, in 1887; or on his
way to the North Eastern boundary; or in
1913, when he returned to the U. s., as the
conquoror of Mexico, hailed by the people at
every step. The Tribune says if he is on the
stump nov he was then, and has been since
the glorious campaign on the Niagara from
tier, for the people will hail his name as
household word, where hegoes.

THE POST.
Athens. Friday, Oct. Is, 1852.

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTs.-Gen Scott, in his
speech at Frankfort, spoke as follows. The
sentiments are such as fall with a grace from
the lips of a man who has spent nearly hali
century in the defence of the liberties and
institutions of his country. They are such
as the American people have always attri-
buted and will still continue to attribute to
the war worn soldier
have not, perhaps, the power to say that
this Union shall not be dissolved while sur
yive, but can say that it shall not be over
thrown and leave me survivor. To the
latest hour of my life will defend it, alike
from Northern and from Southern fanatics.-
I say not this as an idle boast. have said
it in the hour of darkness and of peril, and
therefore may repeat it in these hours OF
peace, Of enjoyment, and of prosperity.

Be satisfied to commence on a small scale.
1t Is too common for young housekeepers to
begin where their mothers ended. Buy all
that is necessary to work skilfulIy with; adorn
your house with ali that will render it com.
Portable. Do not look at richer homes, and
covert their costly furniture. If secret dis.
satisfaction is ready to spring up, go a step
farther, and visit the homes of the poor and
suffering, behold dark, cheerless apartments,
insufficient clothing, and of all the comforts
and rehnements of social life, then return to
your own with Il joyful spirit You will then
be prepared to meet your husband with
grateful heart, and be ready to appreciate the
toll and scf-dcnial which he has endured in
his business world, to surround you with the
delights OF home; then you will be ready to
cooperate with him in so arranging your cx-
penscs, that his mind will not be constantly
harrassed with fears, lest family expenditures
may cncroach upon public payments. Be
independent; a young housekeeper never
needed greater moral courage than she now
does to resist arrogance of fashion. Do not
let the AS and B's decide what you must
have, neither let them hold the strings Of
your purse. You know best what you can
and ought to afford; then decide, with u strict
integrity, according to your means. Let not
the censurc or approval of tho world ever
tempt you to buy what you hardly think you
can afford. 1t matters little what people
think, provided you are true to yourself and
family.

| James Henderson, an influential adopted
citizen in Allegany co., Michigan, heretofore
a Democrat, not being satisfied with the no.
minee of his party, goes for Scott and Gr''
ham. With thousands of those who made
Michigan their home, while it was yet Ter

of the Northwest, will be promoted by q
triumph of the Wing party at this Presiden-
tial campaign. .,..r.. .......
The Whitehall IN. W Chronicle says that
Dennis Jones, James Roberts, Elijah Shep-
ardson, B. Benjamin, A. Benjamin, and Sey-
mour Shepardson, of the town of Dresden,
in that county, heretofore leaders in the Loco
foco party in that town, have renounced their
allegiance to that party, and come out open
ly for Scott and Graham. This is good news.
Dresden will be redeemed. The Chronicle
also says it can name some twenty other
gentlemen in its immediate vicinity, who have
also renouneed the Locofoco party, and
now support the Wing candidates with a
hearty good will. Better and better.
G. w. Baird, of Plainfeld, Ohio, who has
always gone for the Democratic nominees for
all offices previous, cannot go for "Frankin
Pierce, the British candidate, for the Presi-
dency," as he styles the Opposition nominee,
and in a letter to the Coshocton Republican,
announces his intention to support General
Scott, the friend of tariff, and the friend Of
America"
John J. Craig, leading Irish Democrat, of
Jefferson co., Ind, has signified his intention
of supporting Gen. Scott, on account OF the
intolerance of Democratic journalists towards
nfucntaladopted citizens who are advocating
SCOTS election in preference to Gen. Pierce,
whom Mr.. Craig calls an unknown and
doubtful man." .,
William S. Wait, Justice of the Peace of
Wayne Township, Ohio, an ardent Democrat
heretofore, now goes for Scott. .. ..-

hundred German Democratic citizens of that
place are members OF lne Scolt CluDi anu IL

German citizens of that place will vote for
Scott" Cass county in this State, contains
a German population. We are assured that
three-fourths Of them are for Scott and Gra-

The last number of the Plymouth Banner
SAYS that Gen. William Baily, of Marshal
county, who has always supported the demo-
cratic ticket, has declared his determination
to vote for Scott and Graham. General b.
was in the battle of Lundy's Lane.
Mr.. Jacob Langenbaugh, a German citizen
of Elkhart county, has written letter to the
editor of the Indiana Journal, in which he
says he always voted the Democratic ticket,
but says he is now going to vote for Scott
and Graham and the rest Of the Wing ticket.
A. G. Butler, of Wayne CO., Ohio, a soldier

MATRIMONIAL MATTERS. Some curious
secrets as to matrimony are seen in the fol-

Fewer people are married in March than

GEN. SCOTT'S TOUR.

The Philadelphia Bulletin, a neutral paper,
with democratic predictions usually, says:
The distinguished whig candidate for the
Presidency is pursuing his journey to the
West in an unostentatious manner, avoiding
with delicacy, all attempts to get up mere
partisan display, and keeping mainly before
him the professional object Of the tour and
the execution of the mission on which he
has been dispatched by the Government. But,
Notwithstanding this avoidance of all cleo
tioneering movement, it cannot be denied
that Gen. Scott is received wherever he goes
with the utmost enthusiasm, and the effect
will be to stir up the whig party all along the
route to an unusual degree of spirit The
sight of the manly, commanding figure OF
their leader will revive all the associations
connected with his name, and stimulus VIII
be given to the campaign which 1t has hlth-
erto wanted in a measure.
1t has always been the fortune of General
Scott when traversing the country upon any
business to make a decided impression on the
people, and to accomplish his object success
fully. He has never failed to make capital
in some way, and in this journey his old for
tune still adheres to him; for he is arousing
the masses of the West to the heartiest de-
monstrations in his favor, and all this without
the employment of the usual machinery OF
party politics, for all the tributes of respect
to him seem to have been spontaneous, and
without any effort on the part of the usual
wire-workers of the different localities.
We look for important effects from this
tour of the old warrior upon the aspect of
the pending campaign, and for one, we rejoice
at a movement that has infused new life into
comparatively spiritess canvass. The Dem
ocrats must get some counter movement soon
or the great West will be in general blaze
for Scott and Graham.
