Thespeeches with which Gen. Scott has replied
to the numerous cordial and enthusiastic mani
feststions of public appreciation which have
greeted him on his present official tour in the
West though all brief and evidently impromptu
have most conclusiyely demonstrated the utter
fasity Of the dispersion that he was unable to OK.
press himself clearly, succinctly, and properly
In all and in whatever he has said daring his
progress westward there has been an evident
suitabeness, joined with that kind Of eloquence-
that Of true and earnest feelng-which in this as
in all other instances has demonstrated its power
over the masses. The quality and the quantity
of his remarks have been alike excellent-he has
nowhere said.too little nor yettoo much-and,
exposed to the seductive influences of receptions
and manifestations almost triumphal in their
character, he has every where preserved his self
possession and equanimity, receiving with a
manly dignity and acknowledging with grace
full gratitude those ovations of popular apprecia-
ton which he so eminently deserves
Whilst this has been the character of the brief
addresses with which he has responded to the
welcomes of the people, it needed but suitable
occasion to bring the old hero out, and to show
that when properly moved he could express him
self with force and eloquence which it would
be difficult to surpass This occasion was given
during his stay at Columbus, where an unjust
and scandalous attack was made upon his adj
ministration in Mexico, after that country was
subject to our arms. Tho Ohio State Journal
thus speaks of the manner of its delivery:
:" 1t is impossible to convey to the mind of the
reader the manner in which this magnificent
speech was uttered. 1t was loftily, splendidly
eloquent, in the very highest acceptation of the
term. The scathing, whitening, indignant look
and tone with which the denial and denunciation
were enunciated, startled, electrified the audi
erce 1t was an entire impromptu affair. Not a
n word had been premeditated-not an idea be-
fore conned over. The foul charge was pointed
out to him there, for the first time and he lost
not moment till he branded it as its wicked
enormity deserved. There are no more eloquent
passages in the English language than he then
and there uttered. Let it be published all over
the land, that SANDER and calumny may hide
their vile heads, in disgrace and shame

An American Novel.

We have been politely furnished with copy of
Virginia and Nogdaicn; or, The Foster Sisters"
novel by Emma d. N. Southworth, author
of " The Discarded Daughter" The Deserted
Wife" 1.-THE Mother-in-law, &c. 1t is complete
in one volume, from the press of A. Hart, Phila-
delphia-50 cents edition
There are but few novels we can commend.
This is a story Of thrilling and absorbing inter-
est, Of oyerpowering passion, and of gentle for
bearnnce. 1t is written in a style at once bold,
powerful, and graphic. To the mature, reflect
ing, and well-balanced mind, its perusal can yield
no profit, while to the youthful, impulsivc, and
romantic, it may do harm.

GEoRGETowS, Sept. 28-12 m.
The announcement in the Baltimore Sun Of
yesterday that the Rev. Henry Slicer was to make
political speech in Frederick city, in reply to
Mr.. Sewer, of Louisiana, has caused much feel
ing among the religious portion of his friends in
this place. Most Of them regret exceedingly
that Mr.. s.. should so forget himself as to do
that which the large and respectable denomina-
ton of Christians to which he belongs have ever
objected to among their Ministry-viz: entering
the arena of politics the orators and champions
of any party They fear-and very justly too,
we think-that such course is well calculated
to destroy to great extent, his usefulness as
Minister of the Gospel among that portion of his
own denomination who belong to the party OPP
posed to that of which he has become the public
advocate, to say nothing of the reproach which
such course is sure to bring upon the whole
Church and its Ministry!
Bridge street presents an unusually active and
busness-llke appearance. The dry-goods and
other merchants have all brushed and painted
up their stores in good style, and are beginning
to get in their fall and winter stock of goods;
and, Judging from the quantities, we imagine
they expect the fall trade, which has fully COM
menced, to be unusually heavy.
The canal is again sufficiently repaired to en-
able the packets to commence running, and be-
tween this and the close OF the week we anticipate
the arrival Of large number of freight boats,

THE TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT The New
York Herald is among the most strenuous oppo-
nents of Gen. Scotts election to the Presidency ;
but the editor does justice to the Generals public
and private reputation. He says: "For the
private reputation of Genertl Scott, MS well as
for his military character, we have always
had the highest regard and veneration. lie is a
hero-the pink.of chivalry in his profession and,
as gentleman in social life, he is without stain
or blemish." This is the acknowledgment of one
OF General SCOTS bitterest enemies and therefore
the more deserving of belief-Bah. Clipper.
