Further DEVELOPMENTS.

In our last weeks papcr,!we at
tempted to shoW the object and puf-
poses to be acd omplished in selecting
Mr.. Duudson ais the Scott q candidate
for elector in his district, and the
impressions be vas making a broad. +
To illustrate t be latter, mo re fully,
We continue tn Z subject this week by
copying the following from the DenE-
ocrqtic Herald, published a + Column

we take it, "the learned yomy
Irishman' is "Tinning gold En- opil-

"THE DISTINGUISHED YOU ia IR 5 ii
ORATOR. The Scottit6s OF 0 Ircountg
have had God-send du ring Tile
present week il the person of a NJ r.
Davidson; foreigner by b nth an q
education, but more rece ntly, an
adopted citizen, and by prd fession a
school teacher somewhere in the
county of Lincoln. The N lost that
was known Of MI D. preyid US to his
appointment as Scott Electo I for this
district was, that he had somewhere
on some OCCASION made a \ cry good
address to the Masonic frat ernity.7
Within the last few weeks, howeyer

the Banner, way down TO the lNau-
ry MteNgelicer, Lag We discovered in
this Irish exile all the profundity Of
Brougfa.. md all the imprisoned
eloquence of Fox, and dubbed him
with the classical s3ubrlquet of 'Ithe

Of course anxiety Wtas on tiptoe, and
a respectable audience welcomed his
arrival The excitement is now
over, tranquility restored, and the
anxious expectants look a good deal
like boystfeel after gazing weeks at a
flaming ow-bilI. and the thing
comes along and proves to be hum
bug, or as an old lady who has read
a column Of patent medicine certif-
Gates through the ImeIhgencer, as q

Mr.. Davidson impfPSses upon the
general mind but one distinct, palpa-
bic conclusion, which is this, that
words can make mountains of mole
hills, eagles of carrion-erows and roar
ing lions out of sAunks. To say
that Mr.. D. did not give satisfaction
to many of his political stripe would
be untrue, as manyof that party are
easily satisfied. But to say that he
left one new idea upon the theory Of
government, or made anybody but
himself leel the magnitude of his i'm
portance, would be equally un trues-
He has studied for attitude and gfs-
lures more than for matter rhetoric
more than logic. We take him to
be a gentleman of finished education
in all but manners did nlora5s. His
character in these important re-
specis is as primitive as his brogue,
and no doubt, from its innatenesS, Jas
difficult to improve. AS conclusive
evidence Of this, we refer to his u.s.
Fsault upon the memory of Ex-Presi-
dent Polk, in a matter no va y affect
ing any political principle or issue
involved in this Cd nvass--that as
sault being made at the old home
and among the early assoeia ties and
friends Of that good and illustnous
man-made, too, by a person who
said in the same breath, that not one
drop of revolutionary bio cd run
through his veins! No bod y would
have doubted that Not content
with this, and disregarding the
courtesy he was retd living from his
democratic hearers, b Z spoke con-
temptuously and with deri4ion of a
party of "Locefocos;;'' forgetting that
many SO denominated have kindred
blood fattening the battlelields of this
country, and were tanning its fires of
liberty when Davidson was in his
swaddling clothes in Ireland Seem
ing to be ignorant Of the common
amenities that COVER gentlemen,
