Be After the nomination of Gen. Taylor,
in l94s, and when it was reported that Gen.
Scott was to be summoned before Court of
Inquiry upon some charges of frivolous and
insignificant character, the Hartford Times,
the leading Locofoco organ in Connecticut,
thus spoke Of Gen. Scott:
The man who, above all others, indisputa-
bly, stands out as the GREAT MAN of the late
glorious war; whose name throughout Eu-
rope and America is identified with all its
glory with its great victories and ats greater
peace: whose mastery success have doubled
at stroke the origional arna of the Repub
! lic-he alone of the whole army, it is said, is
to be hauled up, before tribunal of his snb-
alterns to be tried upon some nincompoop
charge. in which it is safe to say that the
people of this country take no interest what
ever. In ability; in worldwide renown; in
we'll deserving of his country whether tried
by The length or by the character of his SER
vices; the ignorant slave holder whom the
Wings have nomin ated for she Presidency,
stands ably below Gen. Scott; and
lyet, if the design was to play into the hands
of the Wings and reduce Scott to the level OF
| Taylor, no better mode of accomplishing this
end could be devised than TO subject him to
a series of petty annoyances and dirty humil-
iations If it is right to pardon deserters,
| it cannot be necessary to set the hero of the
war in the pillory For general in active
service, with handful of men in hostile
country, to write hasty letter or two may
be a grave offence, but, after all, to have done
what Benaparte or Wellington with the same
means would have attempted, to have cap
tured the capital of Mexico with less than g.
900 fighting men. is some atonement for that
crime. It cannot do much harm as an exam
| pie to let this man the immunity accorded to
the deserters, for his Mexican campaign has
had no precedent in all history, and is not
| likely to be initiated very soon. If not hon
or or gratitude, at least let this great COM
mander have what his battles have given his
country-PEAcA. II cannot be right in any
way to dishonor the hairs of veteTan c1ietf,
whose Eits has been spent in the service of has
country, and who has contributed at least as
much to the honor and Gggra,adisement as any
man living Differing as we do from Gen.
Scott in political views, We have nevertheless
always thoroughly loathed and detested the
Itreachery and meanness displayed by his
party towards their most distinguished ad-
herent.

The KaH the wind blows.

We commend the following resolutions to
the careful consideration of the friends of the
Land Reform. and Homestead Bill
THE LAND REFoRMHRs Of Troy have
formed an Independent Democratic Club,
and have gone to work for WINFIELD SooET.
John E. Woodruff an old Reformer, is Presi-
dent, and Edward Mooney, Secretary Of the
Club. They
Resolved, That the Democratic party, hav-
ing a majority of II in the Senate, is justly
responsible for the defeat of the Homestead
bill in that body, and that we cannot place
confidence IN the psuedo Democrats, who thus
refuse to report and consider a bill so univer-
sally demanded by the working men to whom
they are indebted for their present situation
in the council of their country.
Resofved, That in the letter of acceptance
written by Gen. SCOTT to the President OF
the Convention which nominated him for the
Presidency, we dnd the following paragraph
al shall be ready, in my connection with Con-
eress, TO recommend or approve of measures
IN regard to the management Of the public
domain. to secure an early settlement of the
same favorably to actual settlers; but, consis-
tent, nevertheless, to the equal rights of the
whole American people in that vast national
inheritance" which we regard as sufficient
pledge that he will give his influence for the
passage of the Homestead bill, in case of his
election, and we therefore recognize in him a
Democrat who bears favorable comparison
with the rival candidate.

A Contrast.

In ls44.5, says the Dayton Gazette, the
Wings took hold of the General Assembly OF
Ohio and held it till le4s. During these
four gears of Whig supremacy, the entire
pay of members, clerks, sergeants-at-a arms,
and messenger boys amounted to l14,74S-
an average of only S28,6l9 year.
This first session of the Legislature under
the new Constitution-entrely under the con.
troll of a Loeofoco majoriIy-is about HALF
and the same items OF expense
enumerated above, already amount to $780,
.64o!-more than there were for any THREE
YEARS during the days of the Wing ascen-
dancy 1t cost the people, last winter.
more than TWENTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS, for clerks, sergeants-at-arms and
messenger boys-an amount equal to the
whole sum paid THE MEMBERS, both Of
the Senate and House, for any session from
1914 to 1s4s. An army of loa6ng, lazy par
tizans, numbering forty person, no ten of
whom ever earned twenty-five cents day at
any honorable or useful employment, were
kept in the pay of the Legislature at FOUR
DOLLARS A DAY, making bill of more
than $4,000 for the taxridden people of the
State to pay. WilLthe amateur Representa-
tive from this county undertake to defend 40
enormous transaction to his constituents
Let him try!

CoULD'KT Wool AN IRIsHMAN.-Whsn Da-
vid Tod in recent speech at Wooster so far
forgot that he claimed to be an American as
to belle and abuse Winfield Scott, he met
with most pointed and mortifying rebuke.
He said that "Scott had been for fifteen years
courting every party and faction to secure the
nomination to the Presidency. One day a
Native American, and now ready to kiss the
blarney stone with the Irishman, and worship
the Blessed Virgin" An old Democratic
Irishman, Jack Corroll, sprang and Interrupt
ted him, with-"You lie, sir, General Scott
declares he is Protestant. but I shall vote
for him!" Cleveland Herald.

R The editor of the Democrat had the
bad taste last week to alIude to the outrage
eous and ungentlemanly conduct of one Of
the locofoco stump speakers al the Chippewa
Club, in interrupting one Of the speakers on
that occasion. We think the scathing rebuke
administered to the person alluded to by the
speaker interrupted, was justly deserved, and
we trust will prove highly beneficial. When
any person from an honest wish to obtain in
formation, puts questions to Wing speakers,
they will be promptly and properly answered,
but wht young up-start Locofoco stumper
attempts to show off his smartness, he will
receive just such rebuke as his temerity
demands.

Rivers and HarbOrs.

In noticing the declaration of Mr. Venable
OF North Carolina, in his speech at Richmond,
"thst after the election of Gen. Pierce no
River and Harbor bills would become laws
the Nationl Intelligencer remarks-"Mr Ven
able is an honorable man, whatever be his
politics. We desire no higher authority for
any fact than its assertion by that gentleman
of his own knowledge. Gen. Pierce would,
we cannot doubt, when thus assured of it, il
he reaches the Presidency, follow the exam
pie of his last predecessor of the same party,
and set his foot upon the most benefcent act
ever presented to him for his appreciation, as
Mr.. Polk did in the case of the River and
Harbor bill passed during his Administration
his reason for putting his USto upon it, which
we dare say our readers have not forgotten
being that alfth revenues of the country
were needed to defray the expenses of the
war with Mexico"

THE REASON WHY BENNET, OF THE New
York HERALD GOES AGAINST GEN Scorr.-
Two or three summers ago, Gen. Scott was
spending short interval of leisure at that
delightful place of resort, Newport, R. l.
While sojourning there, one morning at the
breakfast table, he asked one of the servants
for newspaper. A lady sitting opposite, a
perfect stranger to him, reached across the
table with a paper in her hand, saying:
"GenerAl Scott allow me to furnish you
with the New York Herald"
81 thank yon, Madam, very sincerely" re-
piled the General, "for your kindness-BH
nsver read the Herald"
"Do you know, sir" retorted the lady. with
the utmost indignation painted on her coun-
tSnance-"do you know,air, that I am the wife
of Mr.. Bennett, the editOr of the Herald"
General Scott certainly did not know,
Madam, that such was the case, or should
not have been guilty of making the remark
that has passed my lips. But MADAM, l have
Said it, and it cannot now be recalled"

We never saw the difference between an
upright, intelligent statesman and a low dem
agogue more strlkingly exempli6ed than on
Tuesday evening in Columbus, by Horace
Greely and Sam Houston. The former made
a speech at wbig meeting in which he dis
cussed measures and principals in clear,dig-
nifed and mastery manner throughout the
whole course of bis remarks; while the lat.
ter spoke for an hour aud half without even
allGding to single public question or meas
ure. Greely's speech was entirely free from
personality-Houston's consisted wholly ol
personal abuse of Gen. Scott and other dis
tinguished Wings. Greedy treated his audi
ence as rational and intelligent beings. capa-
BILE of understanding principles and appreei-
ating facts-Houston spoke to them as if they
were mere brutes to be duped and controlled
by him at will. Greely showed himself a
gentleman-Houston blackguard.

H The Baltimore American, treating
with more respect than it deserves, late III
diculous assertion, by some silly or reckless
writer in the Washington Union. that the
Wings of Is46, ike their progenitors in 1912,
gave "aid and comfort to the public enemy, j
turns the tables upon the libeller in cogent
reply, in which the force of the following re-
marks cannot fail to strike the reader
"If the Wings gave aid and comfort to the
public enemy 10 the Mexican war, il is sin
gular sort of retribntion by which it has come
topass that one Wing general has been
raised to the Presidency alreay by virtue Of
his services and achievements in that very
war, and that another Whi5 General is on
his way to the same elevation for like reA-
son."

Mr.. FnIMoRE.-The Union has repeated.
ly intimated and even ayerred that Mr. Fill
more is Indifferent to the success of the Wing
candidates at the approaching Presidential
election. These suggestions are made in the
hope of alternating the friends of the President
from hssuppolt of Gen. Scott.
By continual and uncontradicted repetition
this story may begin to be believed even by
those who invent and circulated.
We take this occasion, therefore, 70 say
that roman in the country is more earnestly
and ardently desirous of the triumph ofthe
Wings and the Whig candidates at the APP
preaching election than Mr. Fillmore His
ambition has been abundsntly satisfied by
the success of his policy of peace, and its
approval by the conventions Of both political
parties. Beyond this, no new honors could
add to the pleasant recollection of opportuni-
ties conscientiously employed to preserve the
peace and augment the prosperity of his
country. [Republio.

"One of these men must in all human

it is done in this wise:
The bed ofthe river is covered with trans
plants taken from the New Bay. They grow
and fatten in three years, and increase in size
is six fold.-Each man that has planted has
his own staked of, his stake coming above the
water, which indicates his ground. This is
much like farming in the water, foFgthese
oyster crops are frequently more profitable
than western wheat crop. Every year the

~ Some of the Democratic organs abuse
Gen. Mercer and the Hon. T. F. Marshall fo1
stating, that, when they were in the United
States Congress they were not aware that
Franklin Pierce was amember of that body,
1t was not Gen Mercer's and Mr.. MarshalI's
business to learn and remember the names OF
all the fifth-rate members 1t is the business
OF the Speaker of the Speaker of she House
to examine catalouge and ascertain the
names of all, because every member has a
right to be appointed upon one or more COM
mittees; and every member ofthe least prom
inent is always made chairman of some COM
mittee unless the speaker is particularly hos
tile to him. Franklin Pierce was not made
chairman Of any committee during all the
years he was in the House, but was placed
exactly where members are placed who are
given positions. not because they are consid-
cred of any consequence, but because being
members they have to be placed somewhere.

A Scene at Cleveland

On the 10th inst Gen. Gass and Senator
Douglas made speeches at Cleveland The
following incident shows the view taken of
practical equality there among the Democra.
Icy. Il is rich and instructive. The Herald
says:
After the great defeated had taken bis
seat, Geo. Witberell, man who has ever
been prominent Democrat, aud in Is4s one
lof the main supporters of Gen. Gass in Cleye-
land, and who has been at various times a
heavy contractor for building harbors and
light houses on the western lakes. but who
now goes for Gen. Scott, arose and respect
fully said he would like to ask Mr.. Cass
question. Kisses and cries OF siplit him out,'
followed. George stood his ground n an tbe
simplicity Of bis soul, believing that in q DEM
ocratic meeting Democrat had 4 rioht 10
civil question in civil way at the close of
the speech. The audience knew George and
tfeorge knew the audience Cass a stranger
to both. inquired il the inquirer was a Demo
crat; and George replied that he was "a
Democrat dyed in the WOOL The General
then SAID he would answer his question.
The following dialogue then ensued.
Ieorge-"Mr. Gass, are you acquainted
Cast am to some extent'
Gsorgs-"Are you acquainted with his
Eotes in Congress?
Cass-I think I am.
George Can you tell me when he ever
voted in favor of harbor and river inpreye-
ments (Hisses and cries Of, "pus him
Out")
odss-oht yes, I can tell you all about
lit. And he replied in substance that Gene
ira! Pierce when in the House and Senate of
the United States was the representative Of
State which was opposed to such measures,
and that he voted against them in accordance
with the views of his constituents, but this
was no certain indication that he would veto
bill making harbor appropriations.
Al this point Mr.. Witherell was violently
seized by no less than three Democratic on
GERS of the peace, and roughly pitched out of
the Democratic assembly,
General Cass had boosted much Of the
Democratic doctrine of equal rights, and the
gross outrage on Democratic WithereH for
asking a civil question, was a striking illus.
tration. Gen. c. is great on getting up
noise and confusion" in Cleveland.

"HASe P1ERcE, TOO, CoLoxEL"-Col.
Jefferson Davis, recently made political
speech before the Granite Club of Memphis.
As the report goes, he first pitched into Gen.
Scott and then alluded to Mr. Graham in this
wise: believed Mr.. Graham was gentle
man of unimpeachabls honor. He could say
nothing against him, except he was found in
very bad company. Though Mr.. G. had
held several prominent stations, yet no act of
his had ever attracted his observation so as
to make any markedimpression, and he would
say to him as Johnny Brown said of his dog,
when asked why he was going to hang him
that he had never done anythingp Yes,
said John, "taatis the reason I am going to
hang him." Here the author is said to have
made one of those emphatic pauses indica-
tive that proper response is desired from

Eg The Democratic papers are very
much in the habit of calling Gen. Scott ''a
humbug" We would thank some of them to
inform US when and where it was that he
proved himself a humbug. Was it at
Queenstown? Or at Lundy's Lane? Or
at Vera Cruz? Or at Cerro Gsrdo? Or
at Churubusco? Or at Chapultepec? Or
in the South Carolina negotiation? Or
in the Conada frontier negotiation? Or
in the removal of the Cherokees?
A humbug is defined to be an impostor or
deceiver. Whom did Gen. Scott ever deceive
except his country's enemies that thought
they could conquer him?
Gen Scotts political enemies are now hum
bugged. But it isn't he that humbugs
them. They humbug themselves and each
other.
