might walk out TO the front Of the stand and be-
hold 1.-THE words are understanding, but they
alone ft) the pitiful and de graded appearance he
presented. He is O respectable looking gentle
man in respectable position; but in his identity
with the scene in which he STOOD no other de-
scriptive words will apply. Younger and less
responsible men occupied the same place, but the
tout ensemble was more in harmony with them.
The righteousness and the belittling effect were
most apparent when he stood in view.
In the beginning Of his remarks General Dodge
stated that the question was: "Shall Gen. Frank
lin Pierce or General Winfield Scott be our next
Presidentl"-to which Juvenile voice very near
the stand, in the most earnest-seeming tones
responded: "WIN-YIELD SCo-o-o-oTT" The
General looked grave for n moment, but soon
laughed with the crowd, and assured his pert
young friend that Iopa didn't think that way. II
was our conviction however, that the crowd be-
fore him thought with the little boy!
General Dodge's speech was in the main very
respectable effort, though it comprehended but
few strong points, He dwet with some earnest
ness upon the tariff, and thought the doctrine of
protection unsound, and its practice oppressive;
and he held up free trade as worthy our idolatry
I'm subsequent part Of his speech, while he was
denouncing the Wings as Federalsts, and proving
1t by asserting that Daniel Webster had opposed
voting money in 1914 to clothe our naked sol
diers on the frontier an old gentleman beside us
said, soto pocc: EYES, sir, il protection had been
our policy before that war, We would not have
wanted blankets and clothes when cut off from
foreign commerce. / was one Of the suffering
frontier soldiers Of whom you speak, and l know
whose policy TO blame for our sufferings!'')
General Dodge spoke Of prescription, and COM
planned of General Taylor's administration rs
eminsntly proscriptive, and asserted that General
Taylor and Mr.. Crittenden had both given prom
Use Of other things. Such a complaint from an
advocate Of Jackson, Van Buren,, Polk, and all
their satellites, was than the gravity Of his
hearers could endure!
General Dodge spoke Of General Pierce in
warm terms, but rey briefly. He disclaimed the
idea of holding him up as o competitor of Gen.
Scott az hero. He said that NO LIVING MAN,
SAVE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, MER.
TIED SUCH A COMPARISON He had known
General Scott for many year he had ever hon
orsd him. He could not breathe(h word in con-
dsmnation Of him. He was entitled to the love

OF the party devoted to this interest there was
a tolerably coy and orderly meeting in the
Northern Liberties Of this city last night, and in
their midst was nearly or quiet as many true
and steadfast american Republican Wigs!
The platform at the base Of hickory pole,
near the market-house, was occupied by the
musicians, orators, and managers of the occasion
The first speaker Of the evening was John +.
Ennis, esq.,, young and estimable citizen Of
Washington, of pleasing appearance, gentle man
ners, and less self-conf dence than is possessed
by many thousands around him Of inferior abili-
ties and intelligence. He is however, in the
right school to get bravely over this. He made
but q brief address, the three main points OF
which were firstly, that Gen. Pierce was not ac-
countable for the continuance Of the anti-Catho-
lie policy of New Hampshire. Secondly, that the
Wings are federaLists and, thirdly, that in their
nomination of Gen. Scott the Wings had repu-
dated nationality, and espoused abolition sec
tionalism. With all respect to the speaker, the
three propositions are each and all too absurd to
merit very serious reply
Mr. Ennis relied on the Republics admission
to establish the first. The Republic had not
searched the record when it made TINT admis-
sion. II has since been searched, and the devel-
opments by no means sustain the presumption
that Gen. Pierce has ever exerted himself to
peal the odious law, while his party stands con-
yicted of causing its continuance.
The charge Of federalism against the Wing party
is unworthy Of proceeding from the lips Of any
fair and just man. James buchanan, Charles j.
Ingesou, and others of his own party are com
petent to convince Mr.. Ennis Of this.
Respecting the third assumption, if, in view of
Gen. Scott's acceptance of the Wing platform,
such case were presented for argument before
any court in which Mr.. Ennis has ever appeared,
and he were TO assume the position he occupies
before the people, the laugh Of derision would be
his only response!
General Dodge, of Iowa, succeeded Mr.. Ennis.
He looked grave, and spoke in low, sepuchral
tones; while above his head the lights glimmered
through several very remarkable transparencies.
One of these represented Horace Greeley and
two other persons dancing and splitting upon a
newly made platform; another, the most promi-
nent, and within few feet of the brow of the
orator, was the glowing picture Of a strutting
bantum chcken-cock, wearing chapeau, golden
epaulettes, belt and sword, and on a scroll was
written

The Piague.-It is stated that much apprehen-
sion is felt in New Orleans of the approach Of a
new disease which is called the plague, and is now
said to be prevailing in some Of the West India
islands. A disease called by the same name has
made its appearance in some parts Of the West.
It is said to be like the cholera, but more fatal.
Whether it is the same disease as that which goes
by the name Of plague in the East is not stated
The Boston Medical Journal alludes to the sub
ject as follows
at is very certain, from the accounts received
both here and in England, that the true plague
has been introduced into Madeira, and the work
of death has been really appalling. The ques-
ton has frequently been agitated, will that dread
full disease ever reach this continent! There is
reason to believe il will the wonder is why it
has not been already, Our commercial intercourse
is extensive with various parts Of Africa and the
Asiatic shore of the Mediterranean, where this
great scourge is never dead or dying, but simply
reposing from one period to another, like ia
tigued giant, to gather strength for a renewal OF
slaughter. Should it come, it may be hoped there
will be found more science, and stronger barrier
Of medical skill, to meet and disarm It of its ter
than has been exhibited IN tropical climates,
or in the filthy, scourge-invting regions of Moslem
Turkey. Plague appertains to the Arabs in this
age ; and where the same condition of things ex-
lists charactsrizes their modes of life, their So
cal condition, and the absence of all common
sense efforts to avert or arrest il, will have an
abiding foothold."

tie higher law man one day came running Gu

the other side of the great salt Like cared nc
more for the sound thrasiling he had given them
than the Salt Lake Itself. They still continued
their pranks, and even had The impudence 10
laugh at his mission.
"Now, YOU don't sny So" cried Uucle Sam
g but never mind, I'll give them double dose
this time"
So he was about to equip himself once more
IN his regimentals, cap, speciaces, and long
pole, when his trusty counsehr, the higher law
man, told him he would poilit out better way
than that.
"You shall fire n. PROTEST at these varlets,' 2
said he, " have prepared one that will blow
up intervention, and all tyrants, princes, power.
and po'entates together, and free the whole
universe"
"Are you sure Of that" quoth Uncle Sam.
As sure as that you have MISSION" said
the other.
Accordingly, he gave Uncle Sam The protest
which he was almost afraid to touch, for fear it
would blow him up with the princes, powers,
and potentates. Having, cording to the direc-
tons of his trusty counsellor, loaded his old
rusty gun to the muzzle, and used the protest
for wadding, he went down to the shore of the
great Salt Lake, pointed his gun due east, and
let fly atremendous blast, which laid him on the

The Homo Of Peace.
by ELIZA COOK.

We are apt to grow a-weary
In this troubled world at times,
For even golden bells can ring
In melancholy chimes
And let our human lot in life
Be what or where il may,
Dark shadows often rise, from which
Our hearts would turn away.
Full often do we sigh to taste
Some spirit draught Of joy,
And almost envy childhood's laugh
Above its painted toy,
When some great hope breaks under us,
Or loved ones prove unjust,
And, reused from starry dreams, we find
Our pillow in the dust.
Say, whittier shall we turn to seek,
The healing balm ofresf,
And whence shall come the cheerful ray
To re-ilumine our breast'
Oh let US 60 and breathe our woe
In Natures kindly ear,
For her soft hand will never deign
To wipe the mourner s tear;
She mocks not, tho we tell our grief
With voice all sad and faint,
And seems the fondest while we pour
Our weak and lonely plant.
Oh let us take our sorrows
To the bosom Of the hills,
And blend our pensive murmurs
With the gurgle Of the rills
Oh let us turn in WEAKNESS
Toward the grassy way,
Where skylarks teach us how to praise,
And ringdoves how topray
And there the melodies OF Peace,
That float around the sod,
Shall bring back hope and harmony
With the voice of God.
