the Courier and Enquirer says:
There is no truth, whatever, in the
story sent out from this city with others
from the same mint, that Gov. Cumpbell.
OF Tennessee, intends to oppose the nomi-
nation Of Scott. Letters We're received
from him yesterday, giving flat and un-
qualified contradiction to these rumors,
and announcing his determination to CO.
operate earnestly with that party of
which he has SO long been an ornament
and an honor.
So sinks another lie into the ground.
GEORGIA UNION CoNvENrIoN.--We
learn from Georgia, that the Fillmore and
Webster men in the Union Convention
which body, or so many of them as were
Wings, met on the l5th-nominated Dam
iel Webster for President, and Charles J.
Jenkins Vice President. The Locofoco
branch of the party, practically, had NOM
mated Pierce and King, as they had sent
delegates to the Baltimore Convention.
The Scott men, to the number of forty,
withdrew from the Convention. The
party by which this Convention was
called was much chagrined, and the whole
affair is regarded as an abortion. Finally,
after two days session, the Convention
adjourned.
This is very proper termination Of
the Union party, which, in that State and
in Missississippi has done nothing except
to damage the Wing party. Better that
the State should 60 TO the Locofocos, for
time, than that such state of things
should continue 10 exist.-G. Louis Re
publican.
SOUTHERN PoLIr1cs.-A letter from
Washington to the Boston Atlas says ::
"Old Maryland is wheeling into line in
the right way; not a crook, but firm,
solid wheel, and no occasion to say s'dress
rHERE!"-a perfect, straight, firm and
unwavering column. We have good
news from the "Oid North" Louisiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky, &c.
GEN. SCOTT WILL NOT BE AT NIAGA-
RA.-The Journal of last evening says,
we have letter from Gov. Fish inform
ing us that Gen. SCOTS health is such as
to render it highly improper that he should

HABITS OF AMERICA ORAroRs.-Ru-
fus Choate, it is said, never made speech
Of any kind without having it first written
out and committed to memory. His legal
arguments are subjected to the same labo-
rious preparation. The same thing is said
to be true Of Edward Everett. All his
orations bear marks of the most careful
finish, especially in language and the for
nation Of their sentences. Both these
gentlemen are gifted with an extraordin-
airy power Of memory. 1t is said that
Mr.. Everett will read over long address
twice, and then repeat it very nearly YER
batim. Mr.. Calhoun prepared all his
speeches with wonderful degree of labor
and seldom said anything in the Senate
chamber, which he had not first carefully
considered and shaped in his study Mr..
Webster generally speaks from full notes,
in which the skeleton of the speech is care
fully developed, and all statistics, state
ments, quotations, &c., distinctly set
down. He generally relies upon the mo-
ment for language and construction of SEN
tences but occasionally, when he desires
to make passage especially strong and
impressive, it is written out at full
length.-.New York Mirror.
Hon. MORTIMER NJ. JAcKsoN.-This
gentleman has announced himself as an
independent candidate for the office of
Judge of the Sth Judicial District of
Wisconsin. For years past he has dis
charged the duties of that office with
great and impartial ability, and we trust
the people will re-clcct him with unanimi-
ty.
GoRED by Mr.. WEBsrER's Bull
The Belknap Gazette says -" On going
into the yard in which Mr.. Webster's
Hungarian bull was enclosed, last Mon
day afternoon, Mr.. John Taylor, the ten
ant on Mr.. Webster's homestead farm in
Franklin, was SO severely gored by the
animal as 10 be carried from the yard we'll
nigh dead. The bull rushed upon him,
seized him on his horns, in1icting
wound in his thigh five inches long and
three inches deep, threw him over his
head, badly dislocating his shoulder, and
turning upon, would doubtless have killed
him on the spot, had not several men
rushed into the yard to his rescue.
THE SAINT PAuL.-This boat arrived
from St. Louis Wednesday evening. We
are informed that she made the trip in
forty-six hours, running time, which is
very quick, considering the low stage of
water. Indeed, it is claimed for her, by
her officers, that this is the quickest trip
ever made, when the present disadvan-
tages of navigation are taken into the ac-
count. We are obliged to Mr.. Pym,
the clerk, for late papers.-Galena .adv.
