RE-AcTIoN.-ln many OF the southern
States, and particularly in Virginia and
Louisiana, hundreds of voters, amonq
them many prominent men, have be-
come convinced of the gross injustice of
the charges, that Gen. Scott was under
improper northern influences, and have
rallied to his support. This is true of
many wings, who at first had doubts on
the subject and, also, of many of the OPP
posite party. Certainly, there new err
was srosser elimination on any pub
lie man. Gen. Scott submits to dicta-
ton from no quarter. He is the man of
the whole broad country-he knows no
North, no South, no East, no West
the whole Union is his section; to that
he has ever been and ever will be true.

the melancholy tidings have yet been
spread.
On our first page isl briet sketch of
his life, and in another column an ac-

SCoTT A HENRY CLAY WmG.-In
1913 Gen. Scott was applied to, to
stand the nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency under Taylor. He fatty refused,
saying that he would take the second
place under Mr.. Clay, but under no 9TH
er man in the country.
In a speech in Philadelphia few
days ago, he said that ''if called upon to
preside over this great nation, he should
feel it to be his duty to carry out the
principles of the Wing party, as laid
down by Henry Clay.
Certainly every wing will be ready
to support him on these grounds; and
the locoiocos, who have lately fallen so
in love with Mr.. Clay and his principles,
should now, at once, rally in support of
so ardent Clay man as Scott.

A Speek Of War.

The European news looks rather threatening;
but we entertain doubts whether any of the for.
eign powers desire to be embroiled in war,
though they may snarl savagely at each other,
Though the Frankfort Diet may send diplomatic
notes to England requiring measures to be
taken against the political refugees larbored
there, and Austria in conjunction with Russia
may threaten to coalesce against England, il
does not necessarily follow that war is to be
the consequence. In our judgment the peace
of the Continent is more menaced by France
than by any other power. war with England
would be popular there, and popularity is Napo.

mules and scooter plows, break up the

made them turn across and break it up

young girl within his own, together they
decended into the waters.
A beautiful sight was that young mai
den, thus coming ont from the world and
giving herself to God. The very act
seemed full Of love, and purity, and holi-
ness. The spectators almost held their
breath in the very intensity of their gazing,
Then was heard aloud the voice of the
preacher, as he pronounced distinctly,
Dora Nelson, I baptize thee in the name
of the Father, and Of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost. Amen One sound upon
the waters, and all was over.
Then her sweet low voice broke forth
in song. Others joined her, till all hearts
seemed borne aloft on music's wings, even
to the very gates Of Heaven. l looked
upward, almost expecting to see the
heaven open, and the Spirit of the Dove
descending to dwell upon that young
Christian. Forgive the thought if it was
irreverent; I could not help it. Never
had anything in my past life appeared to
me so purely solemn. Itseemed, for the
time, as though Christ was in our very
midst-as though the age of miracles had
returned.
When the young girl came forth from
the waters she was joyfully received by
her friends upon the shore. The same
calm, holy expression sat upon her fea-
lures, only more calm, more holy still. 4
benediction was pronounced, and the
people dispersed; but never while life re-
mains, will the remembrance ofthat scene
pass from my mind. 1t is craven there,
as one of the sweetest, loveliest, pictures
upon which my eye has ever rested.
know not of Dora now. Time and
distance have separated us, probably for
ever. But many time comes her pure
young face wildly before me. Again |
hear her voice, again see her buried with
Christ in baptism. God grant that her
early vows may have been kept pure in
her heart from that time until now; and
that thus they my be hereafter kept, till
she meets her God in Heaven.
