hsfn less than two months from this
time the people Of this country will be
called upon TO elect q President and
Vice President TOR the ensuing four
years. In these few weeks there is n
vast deal Of work 10 be done. Thus
tar there has not been great deal Of
excitement on either side, but we pre-
sumo the campaign will now commence
in earnest, and that the old-iashoned
party spirit will be fully aroused. The
frcemen have to decide between Win
field Scott and the principles Of the
Wing party, and Franklin Pierce and
the principles Of the Democratic par
ty. !
There can he no question us TO the
qualifications OF the two men. Gen.
Scott has been long and severely tried,
and on all occasions he has been found
more than equal to the emergencies
which tested his talents, his valor and
his patriotism. If high intellectual en-
dowments, purity Of character and un-
ceasIng devotion to his country's interests
for nearly halfa century, are any grounds
Tor reward, or constitute any claim Tor
the gratitude Of the American people,
then, indeed, will Winfield Scott be the
next President. Gen. Scott il not mere
ly eminent rs military chieitain; the
civil service which he has rendered. in
conjunction with his military acts, has
been OF difficult and most important
nature, and at periods when we were
alarmingly threatened with foreign in
vasion and domestic insurrection. Oh all
these occasions, he was able, judlclous
and successful, sustaining the national
honor, and securing continuance OF
our peaceful relations. lie possesses
all the elements OF cht ructer which are
required to make II good President,
and, if elected, his adminlst ration will be
as iudicious and admirable as Millard
Fillnore's has been.
Gen. Pierce is very ordinary man,
and has rendered no service TO his coun-
,ry, in any capacity, which is at all su-
perlor to that which has been perform
ed by thousands OF others. His abilities
are Of medium character and in no wise
to be compared to those Of Gen Scott.
We are confident that the people will
make judicious selection between
these two men. 1t is time for us TO
arouse to action, and TO commence work
in good earnest. Let nc spread facts,
the lives and acts of the two men, and
the principles of tho two parties belure
the people and when 'hIs is done, the
votes OF the freemen will make Winfield
Scott our next President.

Tn. WHITE House. IN l7S4.-A Mr..
W ansey who published notes Of a tour
in This country in 1884 have recently
been the subject Of notice in the Ameri-
can papers, gives the following dsscriP-
ton Of q breakfast at tho White House.
Will the breakfasts in these days bear
comparison with this?
"Mrs. Washington herself made tea
and coffee for us. On the table we're
two email plates Of sliced tongue, dry
toast bread and butter but no boiled fish,
as it is the general custom. Miss Gus
tis her grand daughter, a pleasing young
lady of about sixteen, sat next her
brother, George Washington Custis,
about two years older ttan herself
There was bu, little appearance Of form
no livery. A silver urn, for hot wat
er, was the only expensive thing on the
table. Mrs. Washington appears to be
something older than the President, al
though born in the same year, in sta
tue rather robust, very plain in her
dress."

A Wire STAkED AT CARDs.-We
have heard OF slaves being staked on a
game Of chance OIL tho Mississippi, and
wives being put up at auction in Eng
land, but we believe il has been reserv-
ed Tor the French to introduce the s,ak-
ing Of wives at a game Of cards. A re-
cent French paper reports a case that
was brought before tho Correctional
Police, in which Madame T, brought a
suit for divsrce against her husband.
In the course Of the evidence, il was
proved on two diffcr rent occasions the
wife had been staked and lost at Cards,
and the key Of her room handed over
TO the winners In the first case she
escaped by jumping out Of the window,
and in the other the winner was too
much intoxicated to be dangerous. The
Court granted at act OF separation, out
refused to divorce the parties. Tins
case presents rather curious picture of
French manners and morals.
