DicTxinsOI1 and scott.

Ex-senator Dickinson made speech re-
Gently, in Oisego county, N. Y, in which.
according 10 the Olsego Republican, he de.
cIared that " Scott was gallant soldier and
a worthy gen,leman;" that his "lame as q
military leader was world wide;" that he
was the ''greates, Captain Of the age;" and
il the people were going to elect q General

Dickinson was one Of the candidates be-
fore the Locofoco Convention. That Con.
ven,ion nominated q SSeneral--one Of Polk,
creation, called Pierce, The Wings hav,
nominated Gen. Scott, and Dickinson says
if the people are going TO elect a General

Gen. Scott is the more interesting as being
avoluntary Offering TO merit, by great and
good msn, q, a lime and on an occasion
originating in higher motive than under

Much, also, is due 10 the benefcen. in.

guished man belongs The rare honor oI

The Maine Liquor Law.

The legislatures Of Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, aItheir late sessions, passed
laws similar to the famous liquor law Of
Maine, prohibiting all traffic in inloxic ating
liquors within the State, excepting that they
may be sold by agents appointed by towns
or cities for medicinal or mechanical pur.
poses. The law went into operation in
Massachusetts on Monday last, and in Rhode
Island on w Wetlnesday. A good deal Of in.
terest is felt throughout the country to see
how tho law will operate on these new fields,
In Maine, it still seems 10 stand strong
The several candidates for Governor avow
themselves in favor Of the law, and no po-
lilica party will hazard itself in array
against il. In Massachusetts, associations
have been formed in various cities and
towns TO see the law enforced. Similar ar
rangemenis are also making in Rhode Island
The feeling oflhe drinkers seems TO be
something like that ofihe poor Indian, who
was carried in his canoe over Niagara Falls
Finding himself going; and no escape, he
laid down his paddle, put his bottle 10 his
mouth, and enjoyed what he could oft a.
he plunged down the precipice into the boil
ing abyss. There has been uncommon ac
iivily in the liquor stores and drinking shops
for a week or two past. and people seemed
TO be very industrious and provident in pro
pairing for The approaching famine. The
Providence papers think, from the vast mum
