MIR. M eagh err.

This gentleman appears to have gained the ad-
miration of all parties in New York, no less by
his fine personal qualities than by the entire pro,
priety and modesty of demeanor which he has
observed. The New York Express speaks OF
him in the following terms:
"Meagher is manfestly a gentleman and .
scholar, and, if unfortunate in his own country
and an exile now in foreign land, he is none the
less worthy Of public esteem. He has the rare
merit of modesty and no more of personal vanity
about him, we should judge, than the humblest
and most undistinguished of Irishmen. For this
we have acquired an admiration of the man
which the hot competition we have seen, of late,
in the exiled-patriot business, could not repress
Perhaps no man has suffered more for his country,
in these late days, than this distinguished Irish
man; yet no man has been more careful to avoid
the least suspicion of making his misfortunes a
pretext for professional begging"

Still They Come!

Hon. James E. Belser, for many years lead
ing Alabama Democrat, and member of Con-
gress from the Montgomery district, has an
bounced his determination to support Scott and
Graham. AT recent ratification in Montgom-
cry his remarks were reported as follows:
"Mr. Belser, on being loudly called for, re-
marked that it was not his desire or intention to
make n speech, but that he was one who was not
sfraid to declare at all times his opinions, nor
was he affected with the slanderous misrepresen-
| atoms in reference to Gen. Scott; that he had
carefully examined for himself the character and
lcts of Gen. Scott throughout his whole career,
md that he was free to declare that there was nc
citizen of the whole country who could show SO
clean bill, SO perfect and untarnished record,
or any one who was more worthy to receive the
highest honors his country could bestow, sc.
The remarks OF Mr.. Belser, though brief, were
| uighly animated and eloquent, and were received
with unanimous and continued cheering
