Modest Exactions.

No man of intelligence and truth with whom
we have met has ever questioned the conserva-
tism of the opinions Of General Scott on all ques
tons of serious public Importance But his ad-
versaries point to Senator Seward, whom they
declare to be leading partisan of his in New
York, and to the New York Tribune, which they
declare to be an organ in his interest," and then
stoutly assert that he is responsible for their
sentiments.
The avowed secessionists and disunionists of
South Carolina and other States are in favor Of
the Democratic nominee, and the newspapers that
have time and again proclaimed their earnest
desire to sever the ties that unite as one peo-
pie are now eloquent in advocacy Of such nomi-
nee; yet no one denounces him for this, or seeks
to hold him to accountability therefor.
This is too disgustingly imperious and arrogant
to be submitted to, and we earnestly hope that
it may not. If the friends of General Scott SUBJ
NIT to any such browbeating, they will surely
deserve it. We would 90 as far as the farthest
in any fair compromise that could be likely to
preserve US in peace; but to reward insolence
by yielding to its intimidatons, comes not within
our notions of duty.
1t was the opinion Of Mr.. Calhoun that the
most extravagant demand, preferred in the bold
est manner, was the most profitable; for, although
it Knight not be acceded to, more was likely to be
obtained than could be procured by means Of .
reasonable request, preferred with becoming mod

whose loud and domineering exactions are daily
sounding in our ears, and who hope by such
means to obtain the reward of their mendacity.

Georgia Union Delegates.

The Georgia Telegraph gives the following:
"On Saturday night last, the Fillmore men of
Macon met at Concert Hall, in obedience to proc
lamation in the Journal and Messenger of We'd
nesday last. The meeting was small and the
spirit dull. But one sentiment met with hearty
applause-it was a pledge from the speaker Of the
evening to support Democrat rather than Gen.
Scott. A long preamble and two resolutions were
the fruit of the evening Delegates were appointed
to Milledgevie, instructed to send other delegates
to Baltimore in favor of Fillmore, or some other
sound Wing, meaning thereby Gen. Scott after
he writes a letter endorsing the Compromise, as
it is understood he intends doing. On the whole,
the meeting was business like and dull-no fuss,
no eloquence, no enthusiasm whatever"

ne,g- SEE FIRST, THIRD, AND 70 URTH
MIR. E0rroat.

We learn that Mr.. Forrest concluded his en-
gagement at the National Theatre last night, in
the character of Jack Cade There has never
been seen here fuller house; and Jack Cade
was performed in admirable style. Mr.. Forrest,
here, as everywhere else throughout our country,
is regarded rs the greatest of living actors.
1t is unfortunate that, as English actors of
eminence usually make their fortunes in this
country, we cannot have the satisfaction of send
ing an American actor to their boards who can
command their patronage and admiration. Per-
haps the fault is Mr.. Forests; but we believe
not, but that it was because of the manifestation
of the national prejudice there that hostility in
his breast was first excited.
The American stage is, and always has been,
full of English actors; at our bar English advocates
are often heard in our pulpits they preach and
occasionally an English writer but a few months
on our shores insructs US in the principles and
practice of republicanism through the editorial
columns of our political newspapers. This is all
WELL and honorable to our people, who, even when
provoked, can suppress all unworthy jealousies,
or rise superior to their promptings. We would
that it were so in England. We believe that
Miss Cushman, through her commanding talents,
and perhaps sentiment of English gallantry
has acquired and retained popularity in England ;
but we know of few other instances Would it
were otherwise. 1t is true that we do not care
for the achievements of the STAGE but regard
success in the useful pursuits Of life as far more
honorable The spirit to tolerate and encourage
whatever is meritorious is simply what we desire
to witness. Recently, in the case of our inven-
tors mechanics, &C., at the Great Fair, a
judicial decision was given in our favor in many
instances; but that was unavoidable, and did not
take place until the national prejudices had
been fully developed by the English press in
ridicule of the very things that afterwards chal-
lenged the awards of the judges.
To return to Mr.. Forrest the verdict of the
American people is unanimous in his favor. His
success is beyond that of any other actor who
ever trod our boards and it is not Influenced by
any personal popularity he possesses. Had his
merits as an actor been less than superlative, he
would long since have been crushed. 1t is only
by dint of startling excellence that he has of late
years been enabled to even retain his position.
Whether justly or unjusty judged by portion
of his countrymen, we will not undertake to say
but sure we are that man whose professional
merits were not of the highest order could not
have withstood the influences brought to bear
against him.
Every possible proof, however, Of his great
superiority is before us, and suggests the regret
that, wherever the English language is under
stood, he may not appear, to disprove the dispar-
aging assertions daily made respecting the elo-
quence of our countrymen.
