Speaking in Glasgow.

1t will be seen in to-day's paper that
next Tuesday, the 26th instant, is the time
when the Hon. JOHN G. MILLER will de-
liver an address to the Scott Club of this
city, and 10 as many others of his constitu-
cnts as may think proper to hear him. We
would urge all to do so who live within
striking distance.
Mr.. Miller, as every body knows in this
section of the State, is speaker of great
power. While he possesses the fire oftrue
eloquence he is calm and logical. Nothing
of clap-trap about him, but earnest and sim
cere in his manners, he never fails to make
most pleasing impression upon both friends
and foes. We venture the assertion that no
honest or sensible man of the opposite party
has ever listened to one Of Mr.. Miller's po-
litical speeches and gone home with any Of
that bitterness of feeling so frequently en-
gendered by such harangues. Come there
fore one and all and hear him next Tuesday
And if there are those whose tastes may
require something of the pungent, racy or
der of oratory, they will, in all probability
be fully gratifed, since we are to have, or
the same occasion, both Major Rollins ant
Col. Switzler, of Boone. If there be {
''tick-tormented" soul among our Demo
cratic friends, or any in the wing ranks, WHIT
unfortunately have still clinging TO theil
hides few Of the vermin contracted in thu
"States-rights" campaign of 1850, they will
have no need for mercurial ointment; let then
come and hear Rollins and Switzler, and a
friend Peyton r. Hayden, would say: "the.
will have the ticks knocked off as big a
snow BIRDS"

FRANcE.-The public mind appears more
made up for the immediate confirmation Of
the Empire; it is even said that Napoleon
would return to Paris, Emperor.
On laying the foundation of the new
Bourse, at Marseilles, he said that he hoped
the prosperity of that place would contrib.
ute to the Emperor's grand idea, that the
Mediterranean should be a French link; thi.
is thought to have reference to hint thrown
out in the government papers, that when ;
few more steamers are launched England
would be called on to show her title TO GER

only hope of the Democracy to repeal the
Fugitive Slave law, and to effect the over
throw Of slavery in all parts of the Union, is
to elevate Franklin Pierce TO the Presiden-
tial Chair. BY this elevation, this Demo-
cratic party becomes ascendant, and no

grounds 1t is our duty, and the duty Of
the party, TO rally to the support flour can
didate. 1t is only by gaining the control Of
the offices that we can ever hope to effect a
repeal ofthe Fugitive Slave Law"
The meeting then adopted the following
resolutions unanimously:
/. Resolved, That as Gen. Scott Is, by
birth and education a Southerner, and a
Wing, no Democrat ought to vote for him.
n
4. Resolved, That the only hope of the
Northern Democracy is to follow the noble
example of Martin Van Buren,, John Var
Buren,, b. F. Butler, II. B. Stanton, Gilbert
Deane, and Watson G. Hayne, and thou
sands of other Freesoilers, and support
Franklin Pierce, as the surest means of eff.
fecting a repeal of the fugitive slave law, by
giving northern man the control of all the
important offices of the Government.

The Late Elections,

We have not received sufficient returns
of the late elections to tell how the parties
stand. A Geographic correspondent of the
st. Louis Intelligeeer, furnishes that paper
with the following dispatch, which we give
for what it is worth. In our next issue we
hope to be able to give the official result:
PHLADELPHiA, Oct. Is.
Ohio gone Democratic at least 10000 OF
State ticket. Wings gained two Congress
men. Giddings and Ward, Freesoilcrs also
elected. Pennsylvania, majority State tick

ASEoporE OF GEN. ScoTT.--We cut the
following from the last number Of the Buffa-
10 Express:
This incident recalls 10 mind one that oc-
cured before Gen. Scott Joined the Amy in
Mexico. Mr.. Polk had conferred the Of
flee of Colonel upon some small-beer Demo-
cratic politician, as a reward for party SER
vices. The new Aedged COL, with his cap
and feathers, reported himself TO the Gener-
al, who politely asked him TO dine with a
number of distinguished gentlemen. The
Colonel was as vain as Gen. Pillow and well
nigh as silly. During the progress of the
dinner he fippantly remarked to the Gen.
cral--"General, they say the churches in
Mexico, are full of gold and silver Jesuses
we will have fine times when we get
among them!'' The General was shocked
and disguised at the sacrilegious suggestion,
but out Of pity for its author assumed not
to have heard him, and continued to converse
on other topics. The Colonel presently re-
peated the remark, when the General, draw
ing himself up to his full height and looking
the thing directly in the face, said, slowly
and firmly, Colonel, if any soldier or Off
Ger of my command, while in Mexico, shall
enter any church exceptto say his prayers,
or other equally iustfiable purpose, he shall
be punished; and if any shall presume to
touch the sacred emblems belonging to Gods
altar, as you propose, he shall be hung!"---
There was silence at the table for a little
space. The Colonel's face was redder than
his feather, and just at the moment, he
would have been happier in his citizens
dress, talking Democratic politics in bar
room at some four corners.

Scott and Pierce Contracted

To those who personally know the two
candidates for the Presidency, we need not
commend the following. 1t is true to the
letter, and he has fairly marked the dstinc-
ton between the men as civilians:
Mr.. Vinton, in his remarks at the wing
meeting on Thursday, said that he had
known General Scott intimately for twenty
years. He had been privileged to meet with
him probably hundred times in the COM
pany of the ablest statesmen of the country,
and with the representatives of foreign coun-
tries. He considered Gen. Scott TO be one
of the best read men in the civil and politi-
cal history of the country whom he ever
knew. He had frequently been surprised at
the fulness and accuracy of the Generals
knowledge in regard to the early legisla-
tive history of the United States and OF
the several States. He seldom met, in these
conversations of intelligent statesman, a
gentleman of as correct information upon all
subjects pertaining to the civil admlnistra-
ton Of the Government as Gen. Scott; and
he never knew man who had higher
respect entirely qualified to perform the du-
ties of the Office of President with high hon.
or to himself, and with great usefulness to
the country.
He had also known Gen. Pierce several
years, having been member of the House
during Mr.. Pierce's term of service in the
body. Mr.. Pierce was quiet, gentmanly
man in his department, and maintained
friendly relations with his fellow members.
But he was never considered by his party,
nor by his warmest friends, as "man Of
mark" and nobody sought to learn his views
OH any great measure Of public policy. He
was not put forward to advocate or defend
even party measures, nor placed by party
Speaker on committees where important
work was expected. One thing alone was
expected of him, to-wit: that he would 'vote
TO scribe" what he considered to be New
Hampshire Democracy.
Mr.. Vinton contrasted the history ol
Scott and Pierce, not so much as military
men as --statesmen---at some
length, and said that, in view of that history
and from his own knowledge Of the two men
she had no hesitancy in saying that the CHI
qualifcations-he would not presume TO as
sure his audience that his military capacity
was equal to that of Gen. Pierce, but thu
qualifications of Gen. Scott were vastly SUI
perior to those of Gen. PIERCE Marriott;
Intelligencer.

Penn, Oct. /.
AS an Irishman, l am proud to have 10
say that my countrymen in this country here,
by "a long pull, strong pull, and pull al
together" succeeded in bursting the chains
that have bound them to LocoIocoism for the
last forty years. Some of our Democratic
young "men eloquent" have tried hard du-
ring the last three months TO galvanize the
chain, so they might at least hold out during
the present campaign; but, depend upon it,
our chains cannot be galvanized again, our
heads mesmerized, nor our hearts magne-
tized to the so-called Democracy. We have
given the Democrats long, patient and i'm
partial trial. but verdict of guilty has beer
rendered against them, and they must suf-
fer the retributive consequences. There.
fore, / have no hesitation in saying that one
thousand Irish Democratic votes will be
polled in this county in favor of Scott and

GENTLEMEN:-Yo kind letter of the
first Of October, rendering to me in behalf
of the Wings of Howard, their cordial coll
CALCULATIONS upon my return to the third
District, and inviting me TO partake of a
public dinner at Fayette, at such time as
would suit my convenience, reached me a
few days since in Saline county, while at
tending the sick bed of my father. My at
tendance upon him during his illpess, and
the performance of the last sad rites of Sc
pulture prevented an earlier reply.
The deep sorrow and grief brought upon
me and the family of my deceased father,
by this affective dispensation of Divine
Providence, compels me to decline the pub
lie dinner rendered me by my friends Of
Howard. But while do so, beg leave to
assure them, through you, of my high ap-
probation of their kindness, and of the hon
or they have done me.
Such a reception from so enlighted con-
stituency, is an honor of which any public
servant might be proud; and it is TO me a
rich reward for my humble efforts to advance
the public interests. This renewed ex.
preston of generous confidence by my
friends of Old Howard, deeply affects my
heart, and will ever be gratefully remem-
bered.
Allow me to say in conclusion that shall
be happy to meet my fellow-citizens Of
Howard, of all parties, at Fayette on Satur-
day, the Both of October, at which time and
place desire TO address them. For the
kind and fattering terms in which you have
communicated the proceedings of the meet.

The barrels were loaded with one thousand

The 81. Louis Times has ceased to exist.
1t seems marriage was about TO take place
between that paper and the Union, and the
Times was so overjoyed at the prospect Of
the "good time coming" that it published
the marriage contract before the prelimina.
ries were fully arranged, thereupon the
Union declined the union, and the Time,
died of broken-purse.
''Thou art gone to the grave but we will not de-
plore thee.''
As Benton has kicked Philips out of that
wing of the Democratic party, we presume
the Union will now be the organ of the An,
ties, for they are willing to receive any onc
into their ranks who will abuse Benton ant
the Whigs-the present principles of thai
wing Of the Democracy.
