was called as Mass Meeting, assembled,
duly organized, and six orators made speech
es against Scott-nobody in his favor; and
when they came to stake the sense Of the
meeting" there were just sir voteS against
Scott; and three Of these subsequently made
Scott speeches at Ratification Meeting.
C. w. protests that the very men who SOL

6-The Statesman thinks the celebration
Of the anniversary of the battle of Chippewa
and Lundy's Lane, at Niagara, are "patent
tricks degrading to the character Of intelligent
freemen." The atrocious sentiment is worth
y of special remembrance. 1t is worthy the
free trade British, tory source from whence
it emenates. tits not surprising, however,
that paper and party, that are playing
into the hands of British capitalists and ira
derS, and hitching our country as a tail to
the British kite, should thus attempt to re-
press and Sneer at the patriotic sentiments
that such celebration would produce. The
British did not. think it in good taste for Gen.
ScoTT tofog them SO severely, during the
war, and the Statesmen, from equally patriotic
motives, thinks it degrading to remember
those splendid achievements Of American
valor. What shame and disgrace to call
such man an American citizen!!-O. 8.

ENGLISH ISTERFERExcE IN ELECTIONS
We do not presume that the London Times
and other tory papers Of Great Britain
will have much influence upon our cleo;
tons, bptit is well to keep watch over
them and record their sayings, The Times
says:
sAs far as the general interests Of the
Union and its relations with ourselves are
concerned, Gen. Pierce has our best wishes
for success"
Mr.. Pierce is free-trade man, advocating
measures designed to build up British manu-
facmres at the expense Of our own, ard thus
bringing the pauper labor of Great Britain
into competition with the free labor Of Amer
lea. Hence the interest manifested by the
Times, and its appeal to the Irish in Ameri-
ca to support the (ree-trade party.
The Times don't like Gen. Scott so well,
it dontappear 10 know much about him. l,
says:
"Genoral Scott's notoriety dates princi'
pally from the Mexican campaign, which
has already given one President to the Unit
ed States in the person Of Gen. Zachar,
Taylor"
twill probably be Of some service to tht
newspaper press Of England, to send over tc
them, and especially copy to the London
Times, an edition of the last war with Grea
Britain. They will learn something in ths
book ofwhich they appear to be ignorant -
They will find that Gen. Scott was some
what notorious" about thirty -four years De
fore the Mexican War, especially in th'
dominions ofIIer Britanic Majesty. Ant
they will also learn from the Irishmen VIII
were soldiers Of the American army, tina
General Scott was notorious" enough an
strong enough 10 save thrm from deuth, eve
at the expense Of one OF Britan's favorit
theories. If this does not satisfy the Times
it will please read further on, accounts q
skirmishes and battles at Fort Erie, at Chip
pewa, at Lundy's Lane, and at some othc
less important points, and he is not yet sat
isfed, he can consult some of the veteran
British officers and soldiers who had practi
cal experience Of that which cstablishe,

0TTRs RspOtrer, Mississippi paper, fires
a sharp shot at tobacco. The editor, who is
an amusing fellow, speaks thus:
ave remember vividIy and well, in our
years ofsin and shame, when we dehled our
mouth with the vile, filthy, disgusting and
deadly narcotic, we were dry about every
hour, and with devilish sort Of thirst mere
brandy would not begin to extinguish; it took
a brandy smasher, or some other equal po-
tent dram Of diluted hellfre, to quench the
tobacco drouth. II was chew and drink
drink and chew, alternately through the day
and we are entirely convinced that chewing
superinduced morbid thirst, and drinking ex'
citedto chewing. So thoroughly satisfied are
! that we tobacco consumption leads on to run
consumption that were we supreme law-giv'
er, and resolved to bring about total absti'
nence from every article the use of which
could be abused to the injury or destruction
Of the user,we would begin BY prohibiting
| the cultivation of tobacco" "

An "AsroSlsnEp MAN.".-Gen Pierce
has been an "ustonshed man" once in his
| life, before hearing of his nomination to thl
Presidency. The occasion of his astonish.
ment is related somewhat in this way. II
wns while John A twood was on the anxious
seat. Gen. Pierce used to labor with him
night and day to convince him that he was
fool to quit the Democracy and join the Alb
oltionsts. He laid him over the hot Goals,
turned him over, busted him-but all to no
purpose. While the reverend gentleman
was undergoing one Of these skiunlng pro-
cesses, he begged for mercy, meekly declar-
ing in whining, don't hurt me tone
"Gin'ral, have been conscientious Demo-
crat for twenty years past" This was too
much. The Gen eral could not stand il. He
was an astonished man. Eyeing his victim
with smile Of contempt, and shaking his
dexter at him, he cxclaimed--"Why, you
d--old fool you. you have been Democrat
twenty s,and now talk about conscience" !"

A True lRIsHMAN,--At the last st. Pat

nOturalized citizen, gave the following
toast:
protection to American lndustry--rhe
most legitimate and eifectual punishment pe
can nhict OH John Bull for his tyranny and
oppression to ireland. Let us havea high
tariff, high enough to exclude the importa-
ton ofALL British manufactures.
The appeal of the London Times to the
Irish, to remember England kindly when
they came to America, make money and pur-
chase British manufactures, don't appear to
have much influence with John Castgan.

RELIGIOUS TEsr.-Last weeks Eagle said
that North Carolina had clause in her con-

Office, and asked whether Mr.. Graham had
labored as hard to have it abolished as Mr..
Pierce had in New Hampshire. The CHI
cago Journal answers the query in a few
lines:
"North Carolina originally had such q
clause in her constitution, but the Wing par,
ty, of which Mr.. Graham is leader, being
in power there, struck it out ..
"New Hampshire nlso had such clause in
her constitution, and the Locofoco party, o.
which Mr.. Pierce is leader, being in power
there, still retains it,"

DANIEL A. HAYNES Eso.-The nomina-
ton of this gentleman for the office of Su-
preme Judge, by the Wing State Conven-
ton, is received here with the utmost satis-
faction, not by the Wings alone, but by all
who know him either as u lawyer or citizen.
High us is the position which he occupies al
the Bar, we are satisfied that on the Bench
he would acquire still greater and more
widely spread distinction. His knowledge
OF the law is most thorough and comprehen-
sive; and hence, with fine powers as an adj
vocate, he has enjoyed a practice equal in
extent and Importance, we presume, to that
Of any lawyer Of his age in Ohio. But a
man may be ever so learned lawyer, and
ever so eloquent an advocate, and yet lack
the essential qualities of good Judge. He
must, in addition, possess those peculiar
faculties Of perception and analysis which
separate the true from the false, no matter
how artfully mixed, bringing order out ofthe
worst state of ENHANCEMENT and confusion.
These faculties Mr.. Haynes possesses in a
remarkable degree, making his eminently
what is understood by u judicial mind.
The nomination could not have fallen up
on man worthier the honor, and we feel
very confident that majority Of the people
will rati(y what the Convention has DONE

ScorT IN ALABAMA.-IIon. II. w. Hill
lard Of A alabama, one of the most eloquent
Wings in that State or in the South, comes
up manfully to the support OF G Gencrul Scott.
Read what he says in recent letter.
"Gen, Scott's brilliant military career is
to be regarded in two aspects: it establishes
his claim upon the gratitude OF the American
people for faithful services, and illustrates
his fitness for great trusts. The first gleam
of light that shot across the gloomy horizon
Of our country after the early reverses the
last war with Great Britain flashed from the
sword of Scott; and his brilliant victories
over the troops of our powerful enemy re-
vived the dropping energies Of our people.
His conquest Of Mexico and Vera Cruz, trav-
elling along the track Of Cortez until he
planted his country's standard upon the
capital Of that Republic, may be regarded as
one ofthe most heroic series Of brilliant ana
successful actions, without a single reverse,
which history presents to our view in ancient
or modern times. II governed the extern
sive regions subjugated BY his arms with
wisdom which demonstrated his fitness for
trusts demanding the highest administrative
abilities. His functions as the ruler OF Mex
leo devoved upon him the most important
civil duties, for twas n blended civil and po-
liticul power which was entrusted to him."
