But the late election, the large gains with

ASTOUNDING DEvELoPEMENTs!--ATT

TON, LOVERS OF Truth, EveRYwHERE!-
The news has just been confirmed, that
LEVIN, the Leader and his Church Burning
Followers, are nor opposing he election Of Gen.
Scott, with as much bitterness and malignity,
as when they fired the churches of God, in
which the Catholics of Philadelphia county
worshipped. They are also supporting the
election of Gen. Pierce in solid column by
every means that can be devised Thus the
charge of Native American against the whig
party, and against General Scott, is DIS
PROVED by the strongest proof, and shows
that the natural ally Of the Native Ameri-
can party is the LocOfoco party. This also
proves the desperation, and want of truth in
the leaders Of the Locofoco party, in forging
letter from Gen. Scott in favor of Native
Americanism, and still pcrssting that it is
true, keeping IL at Tie head of their columns
and grossly insulting the good sense of theil
own party, and attempting to impose on oul
naturulizcd citizens, THE ALLIES OF
THE LOCOFOCO PARTY HAVE
BRANDED THE CHARGE AGAINST

appear to belong to this class, us is clearly
shown by an article in their issue of yester-
day, in which they stated that Gen. Scott
had been prisoner In England Now isn't
this rich blunder to be made by n newspa-
per which has .abounded, more thun almost
any other paper, in denunciations Of the in
competency ofGen. Scott! Wouldn't it be
well for the editors Of that immaculate sheet
to read Mansfield Life of Scott, before
the election! The Enquirer has not been
able to sec single qualification for the
! Presidency in the character of Gen. Scott
perhaps if it were to seek information in
some sources less suspicious than the col
umns of Loco Foco newspapers, it might
learn who and what Gen, Scott is, before
election day rolls around. But isn't it II
beautiful spectacle, to sre an enlightened
editor, exhibiting SO profoundun ignorance
of the life OF candidate for the Presidency
Just on the eve of tho election, when that
life has been before the people SO many
years, and has been written at n time when
there was no motive for misreprcse nting it.
Hour contemporary had blundercd upon the
life Of Pierce, we would readily have excus-
ed it; but to betray SO benighted an igno-
rance of Gen. Scots history, after having

HOBBS AND CHuBs AcAIs.-The London

HOBBS AND CHUBB AGAIN.-The London
correspondent OF the U. s. Gazette, says:
"The directors Of a well known insurance
office in Moorgate street, had assembled at
their rooms last week to hold an important
meeting. When the books and papers of
the company were called for, the secretary
could not find the key of the large vault where
they were kept. After an unsuccessful
search, Mr.. Chubb, the maker of the large
iron door and lock, was sent for, and was
asked if he had key that would open the
lock. He replied in the negative. He was
then asked if he could pick the lock. He a.
gain replied in the negative, and rather in
dgnantly withal, at the insinuation that his
celebrated lock could be picked The direc-
tors asked what was to be done! Mr.. Chubb
answered that the only method by which
the books and papers could be procured was
to cut the door down. The directors would
not consent to such proposition, and MIR.
Chubb left the premises. A messenger was
despatched to Chcapside for the American,
Hobbs, who sent one of his workmen, with
instructions to take an impression in wax OF
the keyhole Of the lock. The man departed,
and in few minutes returned with the i'm
/ preston. Mr.. Hobbs then selected a few
simple instruments, and accompanied his
/ workman TO the insurance Office. A tier OPP
pcrating on Chubb's lock ten minutes only,
the bolt was turned, the door was opened,
and all the books aud papers were placed be-
fore the Board of Directors, and to their ut
ter astonishm tnt!
