DOUBLE SHorTED.--The Cincinnati quar-
rel continues and occasionally some hot shot
are sent into the rival ranks. According to
their own showing, they are all set of pre-
cious. scamps,and we may add that in all such
cases we put the most implicit reliance in
Locofoco testimony. 1t isa quarrel about
the spoils. Tim Day sends the following
double-shotter:
2 A Pair of -Them.--Gray Of the Plandeul-
er, the abolition editor, advises me to join
the Wings; and Robinson of the Enquirer,
wants me to go with the abolitionists. If
was to 60 where Gray wants me, would be
with Robinson; and if went where Robin
son advises me, would be with Gray. Not
desiring to be in company with either,
guess will stay where belong, and where
they do not--with the Democracy.
INTERESTING INcIDEST.-The Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser contains the following
notice of one of the most telling speeches Of
the second day of the Niagara Convention:
"Among the most striking incidents of
Yesterday was the introduction, briefly mem
toned in my telegrappic report, OF two old
soldiers who had fought under SCOTT and
HARRISON. These veterans addressed the
crowd in brief speeches, and although 1t is
true their voices were weak and broken by
age, vet their words were strong, and made
a deep impression on all who heard them.
Sergeant THOMPSON, the soldier who had
4 fought and bled at Lundy's Lane, and who
had been plucked from heap of slain, hours
after the battle had ceased, with some evil
ldence of life remaining in him, spoke with
indignation of the rumors which they told
him had been spread abroad, that ScoTT was
n cruel man and harsh ruler over his COM
panions in arms He would testify while
This life and his speech was spared him, to
the falsehood Of such charge. The little
breath remaining in him should be spent in
denouncing such report as a base and bru-
tai slander. 81 am living witness yet
thank God," said the brave old man, 'of the
almost womanly tenderness with which that
strong arm, so terrible in fight, can smooth
the pillow Of sickness and touch the wrlth
| ing form of the wounded-of the gentle
tones in which that voices harsh and pow
erful upon the field of battle, can whisper
consolation to the dying, and words of hope
: and comfort to the suffering" A great sen
sation was produced by the appearance o
, the old veterans.
