GEN. SCOTT AAD THE COMPROMISE.


The Editor Of the Louisville Journal thus
sreaks Of the views Of Gen. Scott on the
Compromise:
I'VE ourselves know personally that Gen.
Scott is most devoted friend to the Com
promise. We have heard the declaration
from his own lips We have heard it from
his lips in the presence Of Wings, Democrats
and Free Sellers. We have heard him re-
count the cxertions that he made during the
tendency of the Compromise 10 Congress to
effect It's passage, and we have heard those
exertions spoken of by Wing, Democratic,
and Freesoil members Of Congress, as mat
ter Of which they were perfectly cognizant.--
We have heard him speak. and VIC have heard
others speak. Of the letters that he wrote to
distinguished champions Of the Compromise.
thanking him in his own. and his country's
behalf for their noble and patriotic labors.--
In fact there is not man at Washington,
either in or out Of Congress. who has spent
four weeks there without knowing that Gen.
Scott has from first to last, from the first
starting of the Compromise question up to
the present day. declared himself unhesita-
tingly to all persons and upon oil occasions
an original supporter. an unchanging and un
changeable supporter Of that great measure
of peace. Still IL is an undoubtcd fact, that,
although we. and others who have been at
Washington, have the fullest possible knowl-
edge Of his jealous support Of the Compro-
mise, the whole people of the country have
not the same knowledge Well, they are en-
titled to claim full knowledge as condition
Of their support Of him for the Presidency

REMEDY Foa DYsENTERY.

1t would be well for persons pestered with
the dysentery to comply WITH tho following
simple remedy, which is recommended by the
Leonardtown Beacon:
A gentleman of onr acquaintance, who has
satisfactorily tested the matter, informs us
that sweet oil and Laudanum is an almost in
fallible remedy for the dysentery if admins
tered in the early stage Of the disease. The
quantity for grown person is 20 drops of
laudanum to large table spoonful Of sweet
oil. A single dose will usually effect cure.

BG-Tbe Pennsylvania, (Dcm. says:

THAT the friends of Mr. Buchanan in this
State. and other sections of the Union. arc
disappointed at the result, no man will for a
moment attempt to deny they expected that
the claims Of Pennsylvania, as presented in the
man of her choice, would haze great weight
with the Convention: the service done by our
friends in the "old keystone" in fighting the
battles Of the Democracy of the Union, and
the eminent abilities Of her great statesman,
whose name she presented. entitled her to
the nomination for the Presidency"

session.

Mr. Mangnm, Of North Carolina. whose 10y

such question out Of order in the caucus.

that would be poured into Virginia could we
secure even portion Of this travel, land we
might secure it for our public improvements,)

our great improvements shall have been COM

He asks, therefore, "what are the export ad-
vantages and the answer is very salts factory
The reopening of the port of Antwerp, and
the establishment of lines from New York TO
Hayre and Bremen, produced direct trade
with the continent which had previously re-
ceived all its cotton and tobacco from England.
1t was, IN point of fact, in precisely such a
state of vassalage to her, as we are at this
moment to New York. The direct trade allu-
ded to, is still in its infancy, yet so great has
| been its effect, that the consumption of cotton
| for this year, on the continent, is supposed to
| be only one-thrd less than that of Great Bri-
tain, the first being upwards of 800 600 bales,
| the latter fraction above 100000 1t is in
| our power, by pushing our improvements, and
| establishing the direct line, TO furnish the
| greater part of the continental demand, which
| increases enormously every year. OF tobacco,
| Belgium consumes 937 900 pounds annually,
and of this, 42i 900 pounds come from Virgil
mia, and $4,000 from Maryland. Strange as
| it may seem, il yet an established fact, that
of this entire amount 1887 900 pounds,) she re-
| ceives not quite $4,000 from the United States
direct. The remainder she receives from Eng
land and Hol land, burthened with enormous
charges for transit duties dock-dues, storage,
etc., to gay nothing of.he English duty, which
is equal to one hundred per cent. AS the char
gesJust allu ded 10 amount TO twenty per cent.
more, the hole cost Of getting a hogshead of
tobacco from Virginia to Antwerp via Liver
pool, is about equal to the original value and
twenty per cent. over. This is so much profit
to England, which receives premium from
Belgium, and clear loss to a very considera.
BILE amount to Virginia. Now, Belgium char
ges only two and a half per cent, by way of
duty, on the value of tobacco imported.
