The products of your orchards, and Of your gardenH
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own Is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, it not better than that of others, and
hat it behooves you to calamity enter the list Of
competition II defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the Judges is guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
pipes and daughters to brig whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, the proahcts Of the dairy and Of
the pory yard, preserves, domestic 1ctnes, confec
lions and, above all things, to come themselves as
orthout sconlan and the beautiful deliberations of her
aste and genius. 40 display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most of the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Inpl,nent makers and Mechanics ofhe United States
make il matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabe--is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

MEMORIAL,

To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States IN Congress assembled The memo
rial Of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 28th of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
that they do not expect or desire TO reside on the
land thus granted that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialisis further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum es
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bount,
whereas many of them are among the most INTEL
ligent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

AGAIN AT OUR POST.

After all absence of two weeks, during
which time we visited the counties of Bel.
mont jefferson, and Harrison in this State
and Ohio and Wetzel counties in Virginia
we are again at our post. The democracy
everywhere, where we had the pleasure o.
conversing with them, express themselves
well pleased with the nomipation Of Pierce
and King, and say they have no doubt o
their triumphant election. In Virginia the
Fillmore men are down in the mouth. and
receive the nomination Of Scott in sullen
silence.

WHO is GEN. SCOTT?

Since the nomin alton OF Gen. Scott for
President Of the United States, by the
Wing National Convention, the people will
naturally inquire what great and transcen-
dent qualities of statesman he possesses,
in order that he should be put forward as
the standard bearer of the whig party
If the inquiry is addressed TO whig, he
will probably answer: Gen. Scott is the
hero of Lundy's Lane, and of many well
fought battle in Mexico, and is greatmil.
itary chieltaln. Granted. But what act
of craftsmanship has he exhibited? Well
he-he-he wrote Native American let.
ter. Granted again. What else. Well
le--he-he wrote another letter OH Native
Americanism in which he attempts to back
out Of the positions maintained in his first
Well what else? He-he-he-he-I
guess that's all.
Now if the simple fact OF Gen. Scott
being great military chieftain is suffi-
cient guaranty that he possesses all the
qualities requisite TO fill the Presidential
chair and 10 rule as the chief magistrate
of this great country, we are mistaken
as to what constitutes statesman. Never,
until the election Of Gen. Taylor, did this
country witness the election Of man to
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1852-06-30


that importan, station merely because Of
his military glory. Gen. Washington,
Gen. Jackson and Gen. Harrison were
Generals only when their country called
them. As soon as the occasion had pas
sed which called them into service, they
were no longer Generals. The title alone
was kept up by their countrymen as a
mark Of nations gratitude for their DIS
tnguished services. Not so with Gen.
Scott. From his youth up to the present
time he has been in the standing army Of
the United States. He was bred soldier
and for his services in the battle field he
has the warmest thanks Of a grateful peo-
Pile, as well as being generously reward
ed by promotion in the army and emolu'
ments of office, out of which he has ac-
cumulated an extensive fortune"
The time was when the whig party had
an holy horror of military chieltains.
Henry Clay once prayed that war, pestl-
lence and famine might visit this fair land
sooner than a military chieftain should be
elevated to the chief magistracy. But that
day has gone by-with them, Their only
anxiety now is as to who is most available.
that they may keep the spoils of office in
their control. Principle with them is a
matter of small moment, else why did they
not choose from among the statesmen OF
their party ,one whose views upon the great
political questions Of the day, were known,
or who had occupied such aposlion before
the people as that there could be at least
some clue had as to what he would have
done had he occupied place in the coun-
ellis of the nation. But there is nothing
of the kind so far as Gen. Scott is con-
cerned. There is not on record vote
| of his to show what he would do had he
! the power. All is left to inference.
1t is amusing TO read the whig papers
announcing the nomination Of Gen. Scot
for the Presidency. One has it that "the
nominee needs no eulogy from us-vt
are not compelled to ransack old archives
TO find out who he is" Another says
Gen. Scott is ''the defender Of his coun
try's honor-the gallant nero of Lundy:
Lane, Cerro Gordo and Mexico" Another
saws he is lone who knows no East, West
| North, or South, but has fought the battles
of each section. and is the friend OF all.
Now these editors, although they profess
to know so much, have said about all they
! do know-that is. that Gen. Scott is sol
dier. Judging from wha, they say ii woul'
almost appear that he had Tough the bat
ties of the war of 1919 and the war witt
Mexico. single handed and alone. AM
that there were not thousands Of other
engaged in those wars Of equal couras
and bravery. What more merit aitache
to one who fights the battles OF his countr.
at sir hundred dollars d month"; than to tn
private at Seren d0liurs month, we are a
loss 10 know.

timents, but the present feeling is one Of
unalloyed disappointment.

1t was as if Boston had lost all that was
most dear.
"The same feeling was manifested in
Lowell, Salem. Worcester, and other
places. A gentleman from Lowell informs
us that the intelligence OF Scott's nomina-
ton was received by the citizens Of that
place with tears in their eyes The effect
was almost paralytic."
