THE LAsT.-The Wings are making desper-
ate exertions to obtain the foreign VOTE They
first charged our candidate with endorsing the
proscriptive doctrines embodied!n the N.Hamp.
shire constitution. The democrats proved this
false by the records. And now, that they can
not make Gen. Pierce an enemy to the Catho-
lies, they assert that Gen. Scott is their pecu-
liar friend-n fact that he is a communicate of
that church. We will dispose of this falsehood,
shortly. In his Native American letter of Nov.
10th l84l, Gen. Scott declares himself to be a
" staunch Protestant, by both birth and convic-
tion." And the Albany Euening .Journal,( whig)
of the 2Sth June, informs us that Gen. Scott,
is Protestant Episcopalian, and regular at
tendant of DR.. Pyne's (EpiscopaD church in
Washington"
We depricate the introduction &c religion in
to politics in any shape; yet, when party thus
falsifies facts to gain the support of a religious
Sect it is in this case that so far from being
Catholic, Gen. Scott belongs to class of Chris
tians who have never been distinguished, either
in this country or in England for their tolera.
ton towards those holding the Roman Cuthoic
faith.

A SINGLE QUEsTIoN.-lf General Scott will
answer one question we will promise not to
bother him with another during the whole can
vass--not one. We yearn for the names of
the Two gentlemen who sat down with him on
that memorable day at the Astor house, when
he was fired with indignation and who saw
him while in that condition. If we only knew
the names Of those two fortunate individuals,
we feel that our curiosity upon most questions
Of subunary interest would be appeased.
We have our suspicious as TO one of the par
ties, but we wish to know them both. The men
who could have been admitted to General
SCOTS confidential councils in a moment like
that
When he was at the Astor House
When he was in his private parlor-
When he was fired with Indignation
Men, we, say, who were permitted in mo.
ment like that to unite with him in 4" an address
designed to rally an American party,"-were
no ordinary men. their names belong to their
country and ought to be known, their lights
ought not to be hidden under bushel or any
other grain measure; the history of the Native
American party will be incomplete without a
revelation of them; with it, its history will be
complete. No, not quite complete. The cap
peal will yet be wanted. Where is that APP
peal Did Judge Campbell or ID. ID. Wheeler
read it as an address from a nominating con-
vention to their partisans at the Native Head
quarters! Was it published as an editorial in
the EcpresS or was it sent on to Levin in Phil
adelphia, for circulation in the precincts? If
not, who has it? What is he doing with it 3
Why does he not produce it We have no
doubt 1t is in every respect worthy of the pen
and discretion of its unassuming author
The General intimates, " that the election of
Gen. Harrison " probably rendered its pub
LEGATION, at that time, unnecessary in the opin-
ion of has two friends" Those two friends
again who arc they, to whom the General de-
ferred so much as to permit them to suppress
the product of his glowing pen! If they sup
pressed the appeal, they must have it the Gen.
said he did not know what became Of it there
were but two gentlemen in the Generals pri-
vate paror, he says, when he sat down in the
condition to which we have already alluded to
rally ar American party" Therefore the re-
sponsbity for the prompt production of the
"appeal," written on the occasion, rests with
them. We repeat our liberal offer to ask no
more favors of the Gen. for the whole campaign
if he will only give us the names of the two
gentlemen who with himself composed the Ma
tive American party that sat down together in
his private paror at the Astor House, in the
month of Nov. 1910.

LAKE SUPERlOR-IHE BALTIMORE.-lt Is
well known to the travelling and business pub
lie, the vast inland sea whose waters lave the
shores Of our Northern Peninsula, has recently
received most useful accession to its CONNER
cal marine by the addition of the fine steamer
Baltimore to the fleet plying on its bosom for
some years past. We are glad to find from the
numerous very complimentary cards and edto-
rial notices appearing in the various journals of
the country this season, that this gallant steam
er, has lost nothing of her superior qualities as
staunch and commodious vessel, and has in
fact added materially to her well earned repu-
tation on Lake Erie. Since her transit over the
portage and railway at Sault Ste Marie, she has
been newly fitted up and neatly furnished, and
now plies from the upper end of the Sault Rap
ids, leaving there every Tuesday, on the arrival
of the London from Cleveland, and Detroit, and
touching at Carp River Copper Harbor, Eagle
River and the Ontonagon, on her way up Lake
Superior. The officers are men particularly
well versed in the profession, as those who
have ever travelled with Capt. Wilson, Clark
Gray, or Steward Taylor, will all cordially
vouch, and her trips are made with the utmost
promptness and regularity. Her owner our
old and popular townsman, Sheldon Mcknight
Esq, formerly Postmaster Of the public, for his
efforts to afford them accommodations for trip
to the Copper Region, such as are offered by

in various matters pertaining to the develope-
ment of the immense resources of our upper
Peninsula, our citizens are materially indebted,

INSANITY in THE UNITED STATEs.-We quote
from the Philadelphia Ledger some appropriate
remarks on this subject, pointing to some OF the
causes OF the remarkable manifestation ofinsan-
ity in New England and other communities, en-.
jOyng the highest institutions of civilization,
New England is fertile in mental derange-
ment, because-mark the words, Messrs. Phi
losophers--because New England is the land of
ercessiue mental stimulation. Its common
schools furnish to every child the rudments of
education, and evry child is sent to school as
soon as it can walk. It's numerous academies
and high schools furnish all its ambitious
boys and girls with something more than rudi-
mental education, and their "ambition I" is con-
tinually stimulated by public sentiment which
makes ignorance disgraceful in those having OPP
portun;.ies to rise above it. Its numerous col
leges, always FULL afford additional stimulation
to intellectual ambitions" and its numerous
machine shops operate like schools and colleges
in urging the intellectual faculties to yet great
or progress The comparative sterility of its
soil drives large portion from agriculture, to
mechanical, mercantile and professional occupa-
tons, where intellectual exertion is essential to
success. The same sterility urges the agricul-
tura population to inquiry, experiment and sci
ence in agricultural population to inquiry, ex-
pertinent and science in agriculture, to supply
the deficiencies Of nature. New England sup
plies the Southern States almost exclusively
with teachers and mechanics, and abundantly
with editors, lawyers, physicians, cergymen, and
merchants 1t furnishes more to the Patent
office in proportion to population, than any 9th
er section and of the contributors resident in
other sections, large portion were either born
in New England, or were the sons ofNew Eng
landers. This section bears the same relation
to the rest of the Union, that Scotland does to
the British Empire, and Switzerland does to
France, in furnishing abundance of intellectual
cultivation in all departments Of life.

The generality of whisky from distilleres con-
tain large quantities of Verdigris, Alkalies and
