Correspondence of the Daily American Telegraph. ]

-, Norfolk Co., Va, Sept. Is.
SIR: am Whig-a republican Whig-a Clay
Whg-a Scott Wing. am for my country and
her true interests. am party man because ]
love my county and my party feelings can there
fore never lead me to oppose the interests of my
country.
| believe the interests Of my country call for
protective and cherishing policy toward every
branch of industry, and liberal policy toward
the improvement of the great highways Of com
merce. / believe that governments are estab-
lished not only by the consent Of the governed,
but for the welfare of the governed. Our welfare
lies in promoting agriculture, manufactures, and
commerce. Reliance upon any one of them will
be precarious always; but reliance upon them
all viii make us independent therefore desire
the welfare of all and thus l would comprehend
protection to all, that happy and prosperous
people may dwell upon all sections of our land.
Such Wing am !, humble as ! am; such a
Wing was Henry Clay; and such Wing is Win
field Scott How honor that man His head
is white like my own but his form Is more erect.
He always bore himself SO when young, before
friend and foe; but especially before the latter
| always loved and admired him yet | did not
know how good man he was-I did not know
how well be could stand the fire Of locofocoism
Why, not hair upon his noble head Is singed
Even defamation itself has been incapable OF
manning his unsuled reputation. He is a ma
tive Of our own Old Dominion, and | am proud
that she gave him birth She should do all she
can for him, for his reputation win be her pre-
cious heritage. Yes, and she will do for him, il
am capable Of judging the sentiments of the
people around me. 1t is not by wild and
phrenzied exhibition Of sentiment his strength Ii
to be learned 1t is only by the rejecting, intel.
ligent and quiet determination forming in the
breasts of thousands upon thousands Of those who
do not noise abroad the works they are going tc
perform. For the first time in my life, believe
the Wings are going to carry the electoral vote
of this State We are in good heart, and have
the help Of many of those who have heretofore
been gulled by the name Of Democrat
And why should Virginia not vote for her own
gallant son That he is great general, skill
full diplomatist, an honorable man, and true re
publican few will dispute. And what is his op
ponent? will not disparage him, but what d
he? What has he ever done or proved himself
capable of doings These are fair questions
How can they be answered? The loco part,
have many able men, and each Of them has
party about him; but the present candidate wa
without even that degree Of influence. He has
no position and no party, and was brought on
only because il was thought party machinery wa
superior to the patriotic spirit of that party.
The Wings here will do their duty, every mai
Of them. If you hear the locos Dragging Of thei
strength in this section, rely upon it they ar
J reckoning without their host. Yours, as ever,
A. b.

The signs Improving.

Some of the Democratic papers are rakng up
everything in the shape of quarrel between
Gen. Scott and other persons during the last
forty years All this shows decided evidences of
alarm.
The chief scrapes" in which the General was
engaged, however, are rarely thought of by these
patriotic prints. They don't seem to have any
very kind remembrance Of Gen. Scotts frequent
bouts with John Bull, nor his little skirmishes
with Mexican Generals. They are such peace
loving mortals that the bare mention of fight
shocks their poor nerves. Give them 81 some
ciyet, good apothecary. Rich. Rpn.

Locofoco Roorbacks.

The locofocos are exceedingly unfortunate in
their manufacture Of " Roorbacks." Scarcely
has the ink become dry on the sheet which re-
counts the startling affair, than its falsity is
made manifest. No sooner is Mr.. Mapp made to
figure in thrilling dialogue" than he complain
Of g fragrant wrong, false differences, and par
tidl statement OF facts"
Is General Scott represented as making ter
rible assertion to General Wade about slavery
"stop that" is the word of command soon heard
from General w.
Is z. G. Lee charged with having made dis
respectful reference to the "God like and others,
eliciting elaborate essays about 'Whig despera-
ton J" presto, the whole fabric is toppled by the
fat denial of Mr.. L.
Is Mr.. Lewis reported as having made state
ment in reference to an interview with General
Scott; out comes Mr.. L. and denies the soft i'm
parchment, and shows the reporter to have falsi-
fed the record.
Is Mr. w. G. Haynes declared to have attended
the Pittsburg Convention, at the instigation of
Seward and Greedy to prejudice Gen. Pierce; the
charge is denounced at once by Mr.. H.
Are the Wings of Louisiana proclaimed as hav-
ing bolted it turns out to be all o mistake as
the Wings still hurTah,
For Scott the brave and true,
Who never fants on battlefelds,
But tights his battle through
Is henry Ciay reporteu MS having auFiseu LIS
son not to vote for General Scott; the son imme-
diatey says, "don't keep that before the people"
Is General Scott charged with being everlast-
ingly engaged in quarreling with his brother
officers; it turns out that his brother officers
quarrel with him.
Is he charged with vaingloriously invoking
the homage of the stars and stripes his scars
and stripes shew what homage he has paid to
his country's flag.
Yet the Democracy, par excellence, with all its
professed regard for the Intelligence of the
people," seems to consider "no imposture toe
monstrous for the public credulity" Such
"Roorbacks" win prove unavailing. "The most
distinguished son of Virginia, !" the man who has
the heart of the nation with him, is irresistible
and must inevitably triumph.-Alez. TEL

The whig casse In Western Virgins.
We find the following in the Kanawa hepnpii-
can:
Mr.. NEWTON: notice in a late number OF kne
Western Virginian' list Of the Democratic
Vigilance Committee for the different precincts
in the county, find my name on the committee
for the 9th district, Owens district,) and the
names of some of my friends and neighbors, who
have been dead for years, and whose widows have
been married again, but who would vote for Gen.
Scott if they were living, and also many others OF
my neighbors who are going for Gen. Scott with
a rush, and some of them are very mad because
this liberty has been taken with their names
without their consent, and against their wills
AS for my own name being on the Democratic
Vigilance Committee, it is thing unauthorized
by me, and one that feel bound, from a sense
of self-respect, to protest against. took the
campaign paper published at the Virginian office
for the purpose of seeing the capacity OF the
party to perfect principle, and to vilify the old
hero, of whom every American should feel proud,
and that / might see what grounds If any, that
paper intended to take against him, that might
be able to report them to my neighbors and
friends. | hope the Democratic Vigilance Com
mittee will do me the favor to take my name of
of their committees

Gen. Scott is not given to joking yet little
anecdote told of him by Massachusetts officer,
looks little jocular, though the fact stated
proved wise in the end. His knowledge Of the
details Of all kinds Of business has excited the
wonder Of many, and this is pretty good illus
tration:
While at Vera Cruz, Gen. Scott sent for the
head of the quartermaster's department, and
said to him, " Sir, have you everything in readi-
ness in your line, which we may want between
this and the Capita?'
Eyes, sir | have everything an army can
possibly require"
Have you sent along any ten:Penny nails ?"
"Ten-penny nails No, sir.
"Then forward n cask of them"
The officer was puzzled to conceive what the
General could want with ten-penny nails. But
when the National Bridge was blown into mass
of rocks by the flying enemy, the Generals nd.
mrable foresight was apparent. The Penobscoi
lumber men were soon ready with their timber
to repair it.: the cask of nails was turned out,
and the army was on its road to victory.

The following is from one who seldom errs in
statement Of fact or opinion:
Mr.. TELEGRAPH: You speak Of the testiness Of
the Union Us furnishing no bad proof of its real
misgiyings as to the result Of the next election.
You are right. know that in private converse
tions held with Uery safe persons Of their own
party, doubts and fears freely and plentifully
expressed. The fact is, their hearts are more
than half beaten already, whatever their tongues
or types may pretend before the public eye and
ear. Compared with Scott, Perce's dimensions
are oil too small, and they know it.
Yours, &C., Q IN THE CORNER.

RAJ Reds majority in North Carolina is
5,49l; but we believe the Legislative ticket
throughout the State shows Wing majority.
The prestige Of the right Of suffrage is on all
hands admitted to have achieved this result for
Reid Senator Douglas, who is Reid's near kns.
man, is generally credited with the setting of that
trap, inducing the Locos to lead the way in the
move. Regarding the measure with the warmest
appreciation, as we do, we set this act down as
one Of Douglass best moves. 1t will secure to
him brighter laurels than his present crusade
for Pierce is likely to win for him. If he has
any real friends they ought TO call him home.

City Items.

we've were pleased yesterday to see mer-
chant refuse to sell powder and pistol balls to a
lad about ten years old. The practice of children
carrying deadly weapons should be prevented in
some way, and we think that if the merchants
generally would follow the example Of this gem
tlemen, children would appropriate their pennies
to better purposes than buying knives and pistols.
There is another article we should like to see re-
fused them too--whskey.
BsE- A police officer il sadly needed in the
neighborhoo4 of the Northern Liberties market,

that was not " the pure stuff" We again notify
housekeepers to look out for thieves
BfD~ The silverware stolen from VIM. Walker
some time since was recovered yesterday by Of

ing no proof of felony, the person in whose pos
session The articles we're found was discharged
by Justice Morsell. The silver was worth two
hundred dollars.
