A SIGN IN Pennsylvania WORTH REcoR
DING.-A meeting of Democrats, who had
never voted Wbig ticket. but who now 90
for Scott and Graham. was held in HeIlam
township. York Co., on Saturday, the 2lst ult.
One hundred and twenty Democrats were
present, who raised pole ovsr one hundred
and fJty feet high to which was attached flag
on which is inscribed in large letterS-SCOTT
GRAHAM AND THE CONSTITUTION" /"
The whole affair was conducted exclusive
ly by the Democrats. Not whig was al
lowed to participate in it. although number
were present to witness the performance.
We understand that the Democrats asem-
bled, had most pleasant and enthusiastic
time Of il. ALI seemed to enjoy themselves,
and boasted that there were plenty more OF
their old political associates that would 90 for
Scott and Graham with as much zeal as
themselves.
Here is a sign worth recording-and worth
the attention of politicians in other States.
York county is one of she stronholds Of Loco
foism, aud if her honest voters follow the ex-
ample ofthese Democrats of Hellam town

deserves so justly the gratitude of bis coun-

this to be no isolated sign of the times-but
the indiction of the popular feeling in favor
of Scott. that when told through the ballot
boxes will not only astound our opponents,
but astoniSh the most Sanguine friends Of
Scott themselves. Har Tel.

Gen. Scott aud Mr. POlks Cabinet.

A correspondent OF The Boston Atlas gives
the following &C count of an interesting por-
ton of Linus Child's recent speech before the
Lowell Scott Club:
"He detailed The substance of conversa-
ton with Ex-Goyerner Marcy. Mr. Folks Sec
Eetary of War, in which the hostility of Mr.
Polk and his entire Cabinet toward Gen
Scott was freely acknowledged. When the
administration of Mr.. Polk resolved upon con.
quering Mexico, and determined to send an
army into tie heart Of the enemy's country,
by the way of Vera Cruz, it was also deter
mined that Gen. Scott should not take the
command of that army. The duty of rec
commencing suitable person to assume that
command properly devolved upon the Secre-
tary Of War. Gov. Marcy said he spent
three weeks in casting his eyes over the
eo1ntry for q suitable person for that Tespon-
sible command. Finally he informed the
President that he wished a meeting Of the
Cabinet called. for the purpose taking that
matter into consideration, and also informed
the President Of his purpose Of recommend
ing Gen. Scott for the post in question. At
the meeting of the Cabinet, President Polk
the members that they had met to
take into consideration the very strange rec
Of the Secretary of War
Gov. Marcy had prepared for the emergency
and finally convinced the other members Of
the Cabinet that no other man in the country
was 6t to entrust with the command of the
proposed expedition. And. above all. should
the Administration entrust its management
TO an inferior man, and should it fan, the
Democratic party would surely be swept
from power. II was not stated whether the
prospect Of party defeat, or the certainty that
The American army might be destroyed
while under the command of partisan favor
ite. had the most to do in inducing the Cab
net to consent to Scotts appointment
"Mr Child also gave an account Of con-
with Gen. Pierce, after his return
rom Mexico. in which Gen. Pierce said that
IN his way home he called at Washington, and
,old President Polk that the Administration
mad better get out Of their quarrel with Gen.
Scott a. soon as possible"

in allegiance to the British crown were ex
cluded from the exchange cartel. and ordered
on board frgate to be sent to England, tc
be there tried for high treason In giving ar
account of this transaction, the Baffalo Ex-
press says:
The inquiry into the nationality of the pris-
oners proceeded upon the deck of the vessel
in which they had been confined. 1t pro-
duced great commotion. Some of the Irish
prisoners who had been set apart, and who
saw certain death in trial for high treason,
refused TO 60 over the side Of the ship When
they were ordered aboard Of the friRate.
Scott, who was below, hearing the noise,
rushed on deck, inquired into the facts, and
in order to save the Irish from the final test
OF speech, Immediately commanded the men
not to answer another question. A violent
quarrel eEsued between him and the English
officers, in which he was ordered below, and
was threatened with violence. But be reso-
lutely chung 10 his unfortunate men. He ad-
dressed them amid angry interruption from
the oficers-explained the Illegally Of the
proceeding of which they were the victims
and sOlemuly assured them, that the Ameri-
can government would avenge every man of
them Who should be executed on the charge
Of high treason He even swore in his zeal
that if it became necessary, he would himself
avenge this outrage upon his Irish brethren
in arms by refusing to give quarter to she
English in battle, or BY shooting them when
taken prisoners. The Irish were sent to
England: but Scott followed up the matter
to the end He effected the passage of an
act through Congress vesting the President
with power Of retaliation. Under this act he
took prisoners and kept ms hostages twenty
three Englishmen TO answer life for life for
the twenty three Irishman so unjustly sepe-
rated from him at Quebec. On the restora-
Iion Of peace, the survivors Of these men,
tWenty-one in number, returned to the Uni
ted States. and Scott, still fsithfuI, urged up
on the War Department their claims for
bounty land. and arrears Of pay. and got
them allowed.
Our readers will read with interest the list
of names of these men. Some Of them are
yet alive. and the children Of most of them
are still in the land, having in lively recollec-
tion the great Commanders devotion to their |
fathers and impatient of the opportunity to
testify to him their gratitude.

THE ELECTION IN THIS COUNTY.

The result of the election in this county
has terminated as usual, in favor of the
democrats with the exception of Mr.. Foil
mer, the candidate for Assembly, who has
been defeated by Mr.. Samuel Bergstresser
whig. 1t is not often that The wings sue
ceed in electing member in this county.
Mr.. Bergstresser, the member elect, is much
esteemed by bis neighbors, and will, no
doubt, make faithful and honest represen-
tatve.
Joseph Nicely has been elected Commits
sioner without opposition. His qualifca-
lions for the Office cannot be questioned,
and better man could moi well have been
selected. For no Office in the county
should we be more particular than that OF
Auditor. A good auditor should be skill
ful accountant, and such are scarce even
amongst business men, We are therefore
pleased that so competent an officer, as Mr..
Wilmington, has been elected. Mr.. Kelly,
the Coroner, will also make good officer.
The majority for Woodward and Hop
kins is as large as expected and shows that
where there are no local causes 10 operate
the result is about as usual.
For Register and Recorder their was q
hard contest between Mr.. Pursel the regu.
lar candidate and Mr.. Martz the Democratic
volunteer candidate. MIR. PurSel being
elected by small majority.
For Congress, powerful efforts had beer
made to defeat Col. S,raub, but with th,
exception Of few OF the lower townships
he received nearly the whole democratic
vote. The majority in Scbuylkill agains
him is about 500. In this county his ma
Ijority is 655 which elects him by smal
majority.
