GENERAL SCOTT's SPEECHES.
Boston Transcript, an independent pa
per, the editor Of which Is personal
friend OF General Pierce, contains the
following just remarks upon the recent
speeches of General Scott:
"We have locked through these brief
addresses in vain TO find the defects
which some OF our contemporaries seem
10 detect in them. They are such plain.
of: hand, ursiudicd remarks as any man
might make whose lite had been spent
less in literary studies than IN the tent
ed field. And yet we are told by those
who know General Scott intimately
that he is a man Of extensive attain
menis in reading, and that few of our
public men are so generally well inform
ed, or have at their command so large
fund ol facts OF every day utility. The
gill Of the CAB, TO use vulgar but not
inexpensive phrase is no criterion of
mans abilities or qualifications as an
executive officer even in civil capacl-
ty. Some OF the greatest statesmen
have been such mere siammcrers IN
their speeches that any glib petilogger
could appear 10 more advantage, and
pass for the better man among the uI,-
rejecting. We do not believe that the
assaiIants Of General Scott can harm
him by criticising his speeches for
ninety men out OF one hundred will
say-I could have done no better my
self probably not SO well.'

MAINE Law PRAYEks.-We have
had Maine Law Preachers, but il re-
mained TO Rev. A. l.. Stone, OF the
Park stree, Church, to introduce to the
Boston public, Maine Law Prayers. A
writer in The Chronicle of Monday men
toned the character Of The prayer offer
ed by Mr.. Stone OH the previous Sab
bath. We have since learned that the
Rev. gentleman went further than even
our correspondent intimated. lie wen,
so lar as to reflect upon tie Judiciary
Of Suffolk County, in those dc,otions,
because the parties arraigncd before
one Of our tribunals. have not been con-
victed. And MIR. S. intimated tha, out
oi Boston, III other counties, justice was
done. Now this Rev. gentleman has
been praying for rank injustice for the
violation OF the rights OF treemen, and
for unjust decisions upon the law and the
evidence. Because no man tried in Bos-
ton has escaped conviction, except on
legal grounds; and yet, legally convict,
ed or not, Mr. Stone, in that prayer,
passes censure on judges who admin
lstcr The laws Of the land, anil also IN
his prayers commends justice Of the
peace tor his Illegal decisions. For
nothing 10 clearer, than that the act Of
Justice Willie, in allowing Amendments

dill an unlawful act. II is really a
pretty state Of lhinse, when clergyman
oi Boston arises in his pulpit and in mis-
devotions, undertakes to censure a JUS

his official duties and do il in his
prayers The prayer, according to all
accounts must have heen model one

ment is forwarded best by cultivating
that sense Of individual responsibility
which rever excuses from duty that in

Justice be done though the Heavens
fall. h. Sanctions the course Of the
women at the Mems State Society last
June, and says-Mcr who then rejected
women showed they needed enlighten-
ment. 9th, Declares that Intemperance
increases among young men, and must
be opposed.
Prol. Allen, Of McGranvlle College,
was happy to find women entering into
public in the good cause, and was sur
prised that Doctor OF Divinity al
Syracuse a, the last Temperance Con-
ventIon, attempted 10 paddock tho lips OF
woman. 1t reminded him al a remark
Of Mise BRoaN, OF McGr.nville College
that the clergy had rather mill ons Of

point out their salvation. lie alluded
to the destructive effect of nlcoho! upon

ed u resolution 10 the effect that the
Church should do away with the sacra.

rum distillers.
Letters were read from Mrs. Fow Ter,
New York, and Frances ID. Gacc,
Ohio
Miss Anthony defended the resolution
and after spirited discussion it was
adopted.
Mrs. Bloomer, Mrs, Vaughan, and a
lew others, voted Nay.
Lydia A. jenkins Aered a resolution,
that inasmuch as tho right to petition is
the safeguard Of the right Of the people,

These old women, OF both sexes, make
themselves positively ridiculous when
they come before the public in the as

and eI'rgsiic at every alarm Of fire,
which, We are happy TO say, is but sell
dom, scarcely three timys year,-
still, We are liable TO be visited by th-
devastating fame, as other similar Ia
ees have been. The Town and Probate
Records as all are aware, are oi immense
value, and should The Clerks Office be
destroyed by fire, the loss to the whole
community woull be irreparable, and in
consequence thereof, innumerably ex
pcnsive and vexutious lawsuits might
ultmateI Iy ensue, and many poor persons,
especially, might be ruined ll,ereby.-
We suggest the expedlency Of taking
the necessary steps to provide suitable
and more saie depository for these val
liable Records; and our plan can be
carried into execution at a very small
exCense,- although we do not consider
the cost Of any moment where a mat
ter Of such general public importance is
involved. We propose to have the low.
er part oil the Brick Market, at the loot
OF the Parade, converted to this use. 1t

Then, the Watch house is in The same

ably exlinguished without loss.
We urge this matter upon the consld-
GRAFTON oil our ciiizei .. and trust that
they will take such steps at the Novcm-
ber Town Meeting as will ensure the
success Of our suggestions. The valu'
able Town Records have remained too
long in an exposed and dangerous silna.
ton und now let US remedy the evil,
and provide more safe and convenient
depository for them.
