THE PRESIDENCY
C. Fl. IRVING,
JOHN SCOTT.

THE New Y DIRK Courier and Enquirer of We
dnesday contends that Mr.. Webster can be cleo
ted President by the people, as easily as Gen..
TAYLOR was in l848, and calls upon the friends of
Mr.. Clay to give him a generous and hearty sup
port. 1t says:
"NIr. Websters friends have stood aloof and
abstained from pressing his claims upon the
country in general and the Wing Party in par
ticular so long as there was the slightest chance
of confering upon Clay the honors he had so
clearly earned. Providence IN Its WIS
dom. has Withdrawn Mr.. Clay from the contest.
His hopes and his aim, have become fixed upon
a greater victory than it is permitted for man to
achieve in the world; and surely, the friends Of
Mr.. Webster may now turn to the friends OF
Mr.. CLAY, and demand at theirhands the redemp
ton of the pledge so often made, that when the
great kentuckian no longer demanded their sup
port they would cordially unite upon the youn-
ger champion of the Wing cause.-the able and
eloquent expounder of Wing principles-the
Statesman who by universal consent, has won
and Justly merits the enyiable title of Defender
of the Constitution and of Constitutional Liber-
ty.
The Courier then goes on to deny the charge
that Mr. Websteris not popular with the people,
OfGen. Scott it says:
s"i1he man does not live who holds in higher
estimation than we do, the military services of
Gen. Scott; and what is more, he has ever proved
himself equal TO every station in which he has
been placed. Histaults, and no man is without
faults, are all personal to himself and he alone
sntffrs from them. He is accused of egotism
and vanity; and he has suffered from indulging
In these foible But his vanity and his egotisin
never stood in the way ofthe performance ofhs
duty to the country; and never yet has he been
placed, in any situation the duties of which he
has not discharged with surprising ability. But
he who places General Scott's claims for the Pre-
dency in competition with those of Daniel Web
ster or who pretends that his past life and mill
fary achievements, equally fit him for the exc
cutve chair as do the past life and civic triumphs
of Mr.. Webster, is unjust to himself and com
mits and outrage upon the intelligence of the
People,"

A DILEMMA.-The Pittsburg Chronicle says
tat the Festival held in this city, last week, to
raise funds for Hungary, there were about 3d.
500 taken in. The committee who had con-
troll of these funds, deducted some twelve or
fifteen hundred dollars for expenses, and offered
the balance to M. Kossuth, which he indiR-
nantly refused observing, very truly, at the same
time, that the whole amount was intended for
Hungary, and none of tito defray expenses
This logical conclusion of the logical Magyar,
was conclusive and unanswerable. 1t endorsed
the committee completely; they scratched their
headsiin strange confusion and appeared perfect
ly overwhelmed with the terse knock down re-
spouse of the eloquent stranger; the answer
was, indeed, to them, the most remarkable bit
of rhetoric that they had heard drop from his
eloquent lips.''

Bartholomew Szemere, one of the most dis

occupied the highest post in Kossuth's minis

Chief We make the following extract from
his letter;
However much pity the political want of
conscience shown in his public character; how
ever much we may rejoice if he should sue
coed by his rhetorical agitation to obtain money
and sympathy for the cause of Hungary, in
order that he may in some measure, restore,
what he has injured by his uncalculating, fe-
verish, Vascilating, unprineipled, policy; yet on
the other hand, every sensible minded Hunga-
rian must be convinced that to recognise NJ.

OF Louis Napoleon is said to be somewhat eng

His mother, Hortense Beauharnais, was a

may have CLOSED her annals. Before marriage
she had two children-one by Napoleon, which
died early; the other by Frenchman-M.

A Word from Vermont.

Cores ondence OF The ". !. Tribune
BRArTLEBoRo, Monday July 49, 1852.
The Wings here are marshalling for the
Presidential campaign. Their Chippewa Club is
wide awake. OF this they gave a memorable ex-
ample on Friday last. Hon. ERAsTUs FAIRBANKS,
the recently nominated candidate for Governor,
came into town on business, in the ereniag train.
AS soon as it was nOised abroad he was waited on
by Committee Of the Club and invited to address
them that evening. He consented to attend the
meeting. Hand-bills were Immediately posted
and the news circulated in every way that he
would deiirer an address.
"A large and spirited audience was collected who
gave him an enthusiastic and cordial greeting
Thus encouraged, notwithstanding the shortness
OF his notice, he gave practical exemplihcation
OF principle, which he announced, that every
man should be apolitcian, at least so far as to be
qualified for his duties citizen, and prepared to
perform any which his fellow citizens may impose
on him. The following sum nary of his remarks is
taken from The Eagle:
ale very happily and forcbly addressed the audience
for nearly hour He spoke of Vermont her condition
and prosperity and the causes that had induced Der
greatness First and foremost among these he placed
the Intellectual and moral training of her youth. Alu
sion was made 70 sch )ols, and 10 the true New
England element In our character as tending TO produce
these results.
"ln regard 10 the national canvass he drew Iline
ropg and pspable between the cardinal prnci )es of
the Democratic and Wing parties de cOntrasted their
free trade notions with the protective policy of ths
Wings and ably illustrated the ruinous effects Of the
tariff OF 1896 all branches Of American industry.
The address admired for Its sense business
like earnest character coming from whose object
il was 10 state principles fairly and canddly rather than
20 indulge in rhetorical fourishes"
Mr.. Fairbanks is, perhaps, more generally and
favorably known throughout the State, and pos
sesses more entirely the confidence, respect and
esteem Of the people, than any other business
man. 1t is hoped that his nomination will not
only secure an election of Governor by the people,
but furnish " material aid" in the Presidential can
vass, and contribute to enable Vermont to COM
pete with Kentucky for the largest majority for
Scott and Graham. Judge Kittridge, the nomi
nee for Lieut. Governor, is also an excellent man,
who will exert strong personal influence IN
favor of the ticket. The other nominees are also
highly acceptable, and you may anticipate good
account of Vermont in the autumn.
The nomination Of Scott seems to be growing
into favor rapidly. His military achievements had
eclipsed his other claims to regard but now that
attention is turned in that direction other parts
Of his character shine with still brighter uster.
The accounts of his efforts for the relief the dis
tIessed CheIOkees peculiarly acceptable t the
people of this State, where there was unusual
sympathy in their behalf Present Scott fairly to
the people, and his election is certain.
