SATURDAY MORNING JULY IT 1862

of the Literuteur and the .Statesman,
whose talents, energy and industry, have
already carried HIM so high, and may
possibly carry him still higher.
With the features and general por-
trature of Disraeli the reader of Punch
is already familiar; indeed that useful
periodical may be regarded as a gallery
of the portraits OF living men of mark.
His external appearance Is very charac-
teristic. A face of ashy paleness, large
dark eyes, curling black hair, STOPPING
gait, an absorbed look, shutting walk,
these are his external marks; and onca
seen, you viii remember Disraeli again.
There is something unusual, something
quite quite foreign in his appearance;
and you could not by any possibility
mistake him for a Saxon. Notwith-
standing his position, lie is exceedingly
isolated beng. He makes no intinates,
he seems to be lonely and seli-absorb-
ed. He has no confidential acquaint-
ances; living in his own world, and feed
ing upon his own thoughts.
As an orator, MIR. Disraeli is entitled
to very high rank, --perhaps the high
est IN the present House Of Commons
| But it must be confessed that his oratoly
is entirel intellectual. tle never touch
es the heart: his greatest efforts have
been satlrical, -ofthe scathing, blightine
and destroying kind: his best speecEe
have been emincntly of a destructive
character. Yet their finish has beer
been rfect,-pertect as product o
the mere intellect. He never CARRIE
away his auditors in fit of enthusiasm
as O'Conncll and Shiel could do. The
feeling he leaves with You is that OF hlgl
admiration OF his intellectual powers, -
and you cannot help saying, "What
remarkably clever orator DlSrael Isl
Though usually uugainly and somewha
supercilious in his action, no speake
can be more effective than he is, in max

call it, is perfect; and to his sneers an,
sarcasms he gives the fullest force by Tn
most subtle modulations OF his voice.

Who does not see beauty in the ever
changing clouds! In them every variety
of color and form can be traced as tlcy
float IN vapory masses above our horizon;
aud though many gaze upon them with
GU, thinking OF their beauty or variety,
there is nothing that more faithfully it,
illustrates the goodness and wisdom ofthe
Creative Power. love to look on the
sunset when the clouds lie piIedin masses
IN the western sky; their loveliness ever
assuming some new and beautiful form.
Now a huge black one rears its lofty
head, like some proud mountain tower
ing above its fellows, at first all is dark
ard gloomy; but gaze a little longer, and
the jagged edge becomes tipped with
magnificent gold-color, and before you
can find language to express your admi-
ton, brl ght rim gives radiance and
beauty to the dark mass. And look
close beside is a little, lovely, striped one,
rose-color and purple, while between is
a patch OF deep heavenly blue, seen but
for moment, and the the floating com
pany gathered to escort the ''god Of day"
to his resting place, pass over 1t and hide
it from our view. But language would
fail to describe the changing beauty of
these vapors-they are a fit emblem of
our journey through life. Sometimes,
the clear sky of happiness makes all things
bright and beautiful, anon the dark clouds
Of disappointment and grief shadow our
horizon. Sometimes the loss Of dear
one throws sudden and-as we feel then
perpetual gloom over us; but when
our first bitterness of grief is past and
reason assumes her sway, then the sweet
promises of the gospel come to gid our
dark clouds with golden ed es, and even
to dispense them, leaving only in their
places, light, beautiful shadows, that
soften and subdue us into quiet happi-
ness. And in the beautiful words of
one, around whose pathway many SOM
bre clouds gathered, we willsay,
"Shall not this knowledge calm our hearts, and
bid vain conflicts cease?
Aye, when they commune with themselves in
holy hours of peace,
And feel that by the lights and clouds through
which our pathway lies.
BY the beauty and the grict alike, VIC are train.

Gen Scott and the Compromise.

At meeting at Castle Garden, New
York, February2 5. 1850, to consult upon
measures for the preservation of the
Union, Resolutions We're adopted en-
dorslng the Compromise then before
Congress. Gen. Scott being present,
was called on and addressed the meeting
as follows:
Fellow Citizens:-Your kind greeting
fills me with the deepest emotions. |
came here not expecting to take more
than stand in some corner of the great
hall to witness the proceedings. Some
kind friend discovered me. below or |
should not have stood in this conspicu-
Gus place. | did not expect to address
one word to this meeting. | see before
me much of intelligence, respectabllity,
and sterling worth of this great city,
assembled here for the purpose of sup
porting our great union, OF which | am
an humble friend and servant. do not
call myself citizen of the North, of the
South, Of the East, or of the West; but
I lure serred the Union for forty odd
years, and fee myself citizen of erery
part Of it; and whatever life and strength

CREATION. Feeling that it was in leo
pardy, and that this meeting had assem-
BLEED to promote harmony and preserve
the Union, came here, and return you
many thanks for the kindness with which
you have welcomed me.

cote Of S|urery. come not here as a
Democrat or a Wing. I have attended
no party meeting in forty-two years.
But when the cry is that the Union is in
danger, and rally is made to support
it, wo~ld hare been coward md u re-

Ofwhatever value may be the remain.

on it than do.) uould giue 1t in sup

live to see its dissolution: but, If unable
TO avert lis fate, | would be buried be-
meath its ruins!
am charmed with the good feeling
and universal patriotism which this
meeting has exhibited; and God grant
that you may devise some plan to save
that Union to which we all, in heart
and soul, are so much attached!"
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for the Union and the Compro-
mise.
TO show the entire falsity of the
charges made by unprincipled Loco
focos and renegade Wings against Gen.
Scott; we give here an extract from the
speech of Gov. Cleveland, of Connec-
ticut, Freesoll Locoloco, and now an
ardent supporter of Pierce and King.
The speech from which we quote was
delivered in the House of Representa-.
tives april lsD on the Homestead Bill
Gov. Cleveland said:
General Scott was, by Mr.. Fillmore,
placed temporarily at the head of the
War Department, and, in that position,
coupled with his great military fame,
was able to, and did, exert powerful
influence in favor of these Compromise
measures.

nit himself in favor of them. Justice
to that distinguished Wing requires of
me that ! should say he could not have
done more. He was as active a man as
could be found in getting these Compro-
mise measures passed. was here, and
heard from every quarter that General
Scott was as active and energetic in his
efforts as any man in WIS ington, and
never did man labor harder than Gen.
Scott to prevail upon the Freesoil menu
bers of the Wing party to abandon their
position and to adopt the Compromise as
measure of the new Administration.
"These measures were passed mainly
through the influence Of Clay, Fillmore,
Webster, Scott, Foote, and Cobb. These
were the men who carried them through,
and every man who was in the last Con-
gress knows it,"

For Scott, Boys, Hurrah!

by ONE OF THE BOYS.
The old men all remember
As 'lwere but yesterday
When Britain sought, on Freedoms soil,
Again to plant her sway;
The old men all remember
~. Who hurled her back again
Twas Winheld Scott, al Chippewa, .-
'Twas Scott at Lundy 's LANE!
So fling for Scott the banner out,
And sing Tor Scott hurra;
With him we can the Locos yout
And win for Chippewa.
The Young men all remember
Twas not five years ago
Who led our hosts TO victory,
And conquered Mexico:
The young men all remember
How Cherubusco's field
And Vera Cruz, and Conlreras
Were made by Scott TO yield!
SO fling for Scott, &c.
The old men and the young men
With Scott to lead the fight
From hill and dale, from shore and wave,
Will rally and unite;
The old men and the young men
With Scott TO lead them on
Will make the hero OF two wars,
Their Chief at Washington!
So fling for Scott the banner out
And sing fer Scott hurrah.
With him we can the Locos rout
And win for Chippewa.

Gen. Scott and the AbolitiOnsts.

We recommend to our readers the at
tentive perusal of the following article
taken from the Signal. With such facts
before their eyes what shall we say of
the impotence OF Locofocos and Wing
Deserters in asserting that Gen. Scott
is the candidate Of Freesolers.
The avowed intention of section of
the Frcesoil faction to nominate dis
tlnct ticket does not prevent the Free
soil Press from manifesting its proclivi-
ties in relation to the two platforms now
eXtant.
The .Nwional Era, the central organ,
regards both as committing then adher-
entS to the support of the Compromise
measures. In coming to this conclusion
the Era was guided by comparison of
the official copy Of the Democratic plat
form with the reporters imperfect copy
of the Wing resolutions. The declara-
ton Of the tina!ity Of the Fugitive Slave
law, which the Era commented upon as
not present in either of the resolutions.
will be found strikingly set forth in the
official copy of the Wing platform. as
it appears IN another page of the Signal.
The Boston Commonwealth aSsa'ls
with excessive rancour the action of the
Wing Convention in support of the
Compromise. 1t declares that the eighth
resolution "endorses without reserva-
ton, and pledges the whole W mig par
'ty to uphold forever the Fugitive Slave
law" 1t says, further, the the South
! dictated the PLATFORM" and that the
Wing party now stands committed "to
put down all agitation of the slavery
question:" Therefore, this mouthpiece
Of the New England Freesoilers calls
upon its party to do every practicable
thing to defeat the Wing nominations.
GARRIsoN's aboltioniSt paper, the
BosToN LiJerotor, in an editorial on the
nomination Of General ScorT, AYERS
that the platform on which he stands
sis as deeply stained with blood as that
erected by the Democratic party;" and
in other portions of last Saturdays Ii
6crator, the Wing party is classed a.
mongst accused things for having rails
ed a bulwark against slavery agitation.
Another commentary on the absur-
dlty of the misstatements of the Demo-
Gratis, in reference to the nomination of
General ScorT, is afforded by the Free
soil press of Ohio, which has enlisted
in body under the standard Of PIERCE
and KING. The Plttsburg Post, Staunch
Democratic print, decIars that "thc
whole Freesoil press of Ohio" with but
a single exception, sis now supporting
the nominee of the Democratic Nation
a! Convention" And that one excep-
ton, we must add, is fighting as bitterly
as the rest against the chosen leader OF
the Wings.

PRIpE.-A proud man is a fool in fer
mcntatlon swelling and boiling like a
porridge-pot. He sets his feathers like
an owl, to swell and seem bigger than
he is. He is troubled with an intamma-
ton of Self-cnnceit, that renders him
the man of pasteboard, and true buck
ram knight. He has given himself
sympathetic love-powder, that works
upon him to dotage, and transforms him
self into his own mistress, making most
passionate court to his own dear pertec-
tons, and worshipping his own image.
All his upper stories are crammed with
masses of spongy substances, occupying
much space: as feathers and cotton will
stuff cushions better than things of more
compact and solid proportion.-Bollng-
