0TGibbons, the apostate, made one Of his
infamous speeches to the Wings of Madison,
Ia, on Friday night He was called down
there, it seems, to proselyte the Irish adopt

most happily exposed in his character and

creature, but is now in the proper embrace.

Mr.. Gibbons was good enough man when
he talked and worked and voted for the Lo-
cofoco party; but now that his true Irish in
stinct tells him that he ought to support
Gen. Scott, he is ''infamous" ga miserable
creatnre." This is only sample of what
our adopted citizens might expect, did they
10 any great extent vote with the Wing par.

constantly to make them believe that they
are their only true friends, would almost tc

NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN.-It is Gu
rious fact, and yet common one, that in
North Carolina, where there is a property
qualification for Senators, the Locofocos have
carried that body, and that the Wings have
carried the Commons, the members of which
are voted for upon the principle OF universal
suffrage There is now no doubt Of the
election Of the Locofoco Governor, but it
is thought that the wings have majority on
Joint ballot in the Legislature. Last year
the Locofocos had majority of fourteen,
and yet they Gull this "glorious victory"
The Raleigh Register says:
" In the meantime, we would say to our
friends abroad, lose not your confidence in
the continued ascendency Of Whig princi-
ples in North Carolina The STATE Is
Wing AS EVER. Local causes have had
every thing to do with Reid's election-aa-

GEN. ScoTT AND HIS OLD SoLDTERs.-A
gentleman from neighboring county, re-
lated to us an incident few days ago, which
goes far to show the warmth of gratitude
and affection still entertained for their old
commander by the soldiers who served un-
der Gen Scott in the war of 1912. "One
of these gallant soldiers" said our inform
ant, "resides in our county. He is, and has
been prominent and active Democrat all
his life, and has six sous, all arrived at ma
ture age, and all Democrats but one. ~
When the news ofGen. Scott's nomination
was received it was communicated to the old
gentleman by his Wing son, who, knowing
his admiration of the old General, was ca
ger to inform him OF it.
Before announcing it, he inquired of the
old man--"F Father, who do you think the
Wing Convention has nominated for Presi-
dent!"
"Why, Mr.. Fillmore, suppose"-was
the reply.
"No"-said the son.
"Well, then, Mr.. Webster"
"No," was the answer again.
'Have they nominated Gen. SCOTTr
inquired the old man, waking up with an
imation!
eyes! they have nominated your old com
mander," replied the son; when the OLE
soldier leaped from his chair, his eyes kind
ling with the wonted fire of his youth, ant
striking his hands together, exclaimed:
"THen I uoiH vote for him! and every one o

Gen, Scott. have fought by his side il
the thickest ofthe battle, and | know hin
to be brave soldier and good man, and
hope to God he will be elected President"
This is the spirit that animates the ole
soldiers all over the country, wherever they
are to be found We have some of them il
our own county, Democrats all their lives
who are equally warm in their admiration
and ardent in their support of their old com
mander.
The hero who never lost battle canno
be whipped as long as his old companions il

OUR GERMAN CIrIzEEs.-There are valid
grounds for believing that General Scott
will receive much larger proportion of the
German vote than has been obtained by
any former Wing candidate. A strong feel
ing in his favor runs through this portion of
our adopted citizens in every part Of the
country and the manifestations that have
been made both in the cities and on the
prairies warrant the expectation that the
feeling will become yet stronger before No
vember. In many wards of New York,
German Wing clubs have been organized
for the first time in the history of Presiden-
tial campaigns; and the example is being
extensively followed elsewhere. - WdSaiag-

Times IN HAMILTON CoUNTY.--We
speak advisedly when we say that there is
everything in the condition of political af-
fairs here to give the warmest encourage
ment to the friends of Gen, Scott, and that
if showing is made in other parts of the
State such as will be exhibited here, not
even the overwhelming majority of 1850 VIII
furnish rule for the result
Nothing has given us greater pleasure
than to observe the quiet but deep and eiiec-
tive moving of public sentiment in regard to
the principles at issue in the coming Presi-
dental canvass, and the persons who have
been selected us the living representatives Of
these principles. Those who have looked
only at the surface ofthings may have failed
to note the indications of which we speak.
Those who have expecte' to see excitement
and effervescence have been disappointed,
aud have almost been led to the despondent
opinion that there is no hope of arousing a
political life among the people. Those who
/ have assumed the enthusiasm of 1910 as the
only standard by which to Judge of the pro-
gress of thought and opinion, have taken a
view of the case that is not justified by its
circumstances. Those who looking at the
apparent settlement of vexed questions

sion that as it has been before, so it will be
again, have not taken correct view Of the
revolutions that are taking place where rev.
olutions have never heretofore been looked
for.
We know better We know that howev-
er slight may be the indications upon the
surface, there is a deep and strong current Of
popular opinion setting il favor of the elec.
ton of Gen. Scott to the Presidency. Mer
who have hitherto relied implicitly upon the
leadership of Others are thinking and reas
oning for themselves. The movement i:

and change is going on which in dut

DEMOCRATIC TEsTIMoNY.--The gallant
General Shields, now United States SenH-
tor from Illinois and one Of Folks fighting
Brigadier Generals, has recently written a
letter to some gentlemen in Galena, in which
he says
"General Winfield Scott is the candidate
ofthe Wing party. For him | entertain the
highest personal regard and esteem. 7 ad-
mire him as much us do any man living,
for his great military talents, and consider
him entitled to the gratitude of his country
for his glorious military services. But Gen
eral Scott is no Democrat. His political
convictions are different from mine. He is
true to his convictions; and for this he has
my respect. mean to be true to mine; and
such is my knowledge Of his character, that
know this will not lessen Inc in his estimu.
tion."
Such declarations as that should bring the
blush of shame to the cheeks of those indi-
viduals who bring forward men to defame
the character of General Scott. We espe-
cially commend IL to certain members Of the

A FALsKHOOD CoRREcTED.-One OF onF
Whig exchanges says that Scott never ye'
led to defeat and never lost battle. NOW
history tells us that he had a most disastrous
and discred;,able defeat and lost a battle at
Queenstown Heights, on the 18th OF Octo-
her. 1919. In that battle he was not only
defeated by a greatly inferior force, but he
was also taken prisoner by the British; and
with him the British took more prisoners
than they had men in the tight.-HocSiRg
Sntiasi.
History tells US that less than 300 Ameri-
cans surrendered, after long, arduous and
glorious resistance, to 1900 British aud In
dians; but in spite ofthis aad repeated con-
tradictions, the British press in this country
persist in publishing the above miserable
falsehood. In the days Of the Revolution,
the same practice of decrying the vulor and
gallantry of our troops, was pursued by the
Tories Of that day; in the War of 1912, the
Old Federalists, we mean those of the Blue
Light stripe, rejoiced in the defeat of our
forces and the triumph of the enemy; and in
1852, it is not sufficient for the LocolOcC
press to labor for measures designed to en-
rich the manufacturers of Great Britain, but
they go back to our Wars with that country,
falsify history, sneer at the gallantry of our
troops and applaud when mention is made
ofthe reverses Of our arms. r..
We repeat that the American masses will
not sanction this course OF policy. They
have no disposition to follow the advice o
the London Times and become "practtcd
commercial allies Of Great Britain, OF thu
practice oflhe Locofoco press Of this coun
try and attempt to efface the recollectons o
those glorious battles in which Gen Scot
SO heroicully distinguished himself.
