THE "ODIoUs BANKRUPT LAw."-The
Democratic orators and journals, are very
fond of charging that Gen. Scott several years
since wrote letter in which he said that If
he had been in Congress he should have voted
for the bankrupt law They forget, we pre-
sumo, that Mr.. Nicholson, one of the Dem
ocratic candidates for State elector, actually
did vote for the Bankrupt law; and we can
inform them further, that the Hon. w. X.
King, the present Democratic candidate, for
Vice President also roted for the "odious
Bankrupt law" Mr.. King also voted for the
limited States Bank Charter, which the Demo
eracy affect to consider the strongest proof OF

GEN. SCCTT-IIIS PERSONAL CHAR
ACTER, AND PUBLIC SERVICES.

The recent ungenerOus assaults upon Gen,
Scott by the more abandoned and unscrupu-
lous of his political opponents, has brought
out powerful and interesting article from
the Philadelphia North American, from which
we extract as follows ... ..H.
Conspicuous and brilliant rs the military
renown of Winfield Scott is acknowledged
to be all over the civilized world, the virtues
of mercy, of humanity of Christian forbear-
ance, and of exemplary federation, which have
been inseparably associated with all its splen-
did triumphs, do him even higher honor, and
shed more lustre upon his name
s"History, in no age, and in no country, pre-
sents the name of Il commander, comparing
in achievements and position with Gen. Scott,
whose moral reputation, can challenge a Sc
verer scrutiny. From the time of his entrance
into the army until thiSday, notwithstanding
all the temptations by winch he wss surrounds
ed, and the opportunities which were thurst
upon him, not one blemish has tainted his
character, or one imputation dimmed the
brightness of his honor.
"For the first time in n period reaching
nearly to the far limits of half century, have
the furnishing bloodhounds of party tracked
him into the yirtuous secusion of domestic
life and howled at his doors with venomous
viturpation. But they have only deepened
the popular sympathy, and excited more earn
estly the Indignation of the country. Gener-
al Scott is as poor to-day as when he receiv
ed his first commission from the hands of
Thomas Jefferson. Sharing the dangers and
vicssitudcs of the common soldier in the
ranks, he has freely given from his own purse
whatever was needed to console the soldiers
condition. On the frontiers of Canada; a.
midst the ravages of the cholera; in the ham
mocks of Florida, and among the wounded in
Mexico, he was the friend and the nurse of
the dying and afflicted, He, the great com
mander, could find time enough from his OPP
pressivc duties, to visit the sick and to smooth
the pillow Of the suffering; to give to human
ity what Others were giving to pleasure and
self-gratifcation. Such things must be re-
membered. They impress the mselves indel-
IDLY upon the popular heart, and will be an
swered with grateful pulsations."

HELP. YOURSELF.

This is the true secret of success, the mas.
ter.key that unocks all difficulties, In the
various paths of life. Aide-toi, ei le ciel fai-
dera, as the French have it--help yourself,
and Heaven will help you. The greatest
atflction that can befal young man is 10 be
the recipient of charity-to lean, for any
length of time, upon others for support. He
who begins with crutches, win end with
crutches. 1t is not in the sheltered garden,
but on the rugged Alpine cliffs, where tho
storm beats most violently, that the hardiest
plants are reared. 1t is not by the use Of
corks, bladders, and lfe-preservcrs, that you
can best learn to swim, but by plunging cour-
ageously into the wave, and buiieting it, like
Cesar and Cassids, "with lusty sinews,' The
moneyed charity of individuals to individuals
is one of the greatest curses that htiiict socie-
ty. 1t Is the upas tree, that paralyzes and
reduces to the last gasp the moral energy OF
every man who inhales its poisonous atmos-
phere. Under the appearance of aiding, il
weakens its victims, and keeps them in per-
petual slavery and degradation. Cold, con-
sequentiaI, and patronizing it freezes the re-
cipient into humiliation, and there leaves him,
as firmly wedged as Sir John Franklin amid
the thick-ribbcd Ice of the Arctic Ocean.
Money bestowed this way is nine times out
of ten more truly wasted than if thrown in-
to the sea- 1t is labor bestowed upon worth
less soil, incapable of yielding anything butts
crop of weeds, or feeble plants which never
reach maturity. God never intended that
strong, Independent human beings should bo
reared by clinging to others, like the ivy to
the oak, for support The difficulties, hard
ships, and trials of life the obstacles that
one encounters in the road to fortune--are
positive blessingsl They knit his muscles
more firmly, and teach him sclf-rcliance, just
as by wrestling with an athlete who is supe-
rior to us, we increase our strength, and learn
the secret of his skill. Read the history Of
the rich and poor in all ages and countries,
and if you do not find that the "lucky dogs"
rs they are called, begun life at the foot of
the ladder, without fingers "lift" from any.
body, while the "uniortunatcs," who fit along
the paths of life more like scarecrows than
human beings, attribute the FIRST declension in,
their fortunes to having been bolstered and
propped up by others-we will resign all
prctentons to philosophy. All experience.
shows that this boasted benevocnce tends to
the faint sparks Of energy in those
who partake of it, till, having fallen into tho
despair and indulence inseparable from cul.
tivated sense of inferiority, they look upon
themselves as beyond the pale of hope, and
at last lose even the wish for independence.

Gold in Mineral Point

The article published in the Tribune a
few weeks since, in relation to the Gold in
this place has been extensively copied, and
in some places created no little excite
ment; in fact we are told that in severa-
places Companies were about to be form
ed, and preparations made for coming to
Mineral Point to hunt gold Well, we
say let them come, and we will guarantee
to pay the expenses of every honest, indus
trlous working man who fails to find Gold
In Mineral Point, after fair trial We
do not want loafers-such as are too lazy
to pick up gold, when within their reach
we have no room for them but for such
as are willing to labor, and endure one half
the hardship of the gold hunters of Cali
fornia, there IS Gold IN Mineral Point.
1t is true, the gold picked up in the
streets and about the "diggings," as men
toned in the Tribune, was not in its ma
tive state, and the deposite of it in those
places, is likely to provide boarding
place for one individual for some time to
come. Nevertheless, we can assure our
distant readers that gold is to be found in
greater abundance in Mineral Point
than in many parts of California If it
does not grO10 here, aud is not dug from
our Mines in It's yellow purity, other
things grow, and other Metals are dug

was time since the settlement of the

finds ready market and good price for

pect is, that greater portion of our me-
chanics, farmers andminers, will find more
gold in Mineral Point, than those who have
gone to California will find in that much
talked of gold region. We say again, to
one and all, come along-there IS Gold in

that the population of Wisconsin has increased in
greater ratio than any other State in the Union.
The population at this date, May 1852, can be
safely estimated at 100000
