The SUBLIME IN LY1Na.-The Boston Post re-
marks that the attempts of the Southern Scott
press to prove Gen. Pierce an G6olitionist is
touch beyond the sublime in lying-a flight un-
equalled by any Roorback imagination that ever
fertilized the field of falsehood.

LARGE FoRcE.-During the late interview of
the Gear of Russia and the King of Prussia, the
two potentates have combined their powers and
military forces, in case there should happen cir
cumstances which would oblige them to act to-
gether. 1t appears that these two sovereigns can
dispose of 10000 men at moments notice.
The Georgia Constitutionalist says that the reg
ular Scott ticket in Georgia goes ahead of Du-

many designated Scott and Graham FFFF-Fogg,

KossUTH.- Kossuth was living in great privacy
/ in London, at the last accounts and attracted no
public observation or attention whatever. He is
said to express great horror of and aversion to
the Derby government, who, he fancies, would,
if possible, betray him to the Austrian govern
ment.
WHAT EVERYBODY KNows.-The editor of the
Ohio Patriot had conversation day or two since
with prominent whig, who travelled over the
greater portion of Ohio, who freely and frankly
admits that there is not the least possible hope
Ohio going for Scott. Pierce, he says, will sweel
the State by large majority.

Charles j. jenkins, a leading whig of Augusta,
Ga, in published letter, says that swith stron-
ger desire than ever before to adhere to the ma
tional whig party, he has been unable to bring his
mind to the conclusion that he ought to vote for
Gen. Scott" Independently of the Southern
question, other difficulties interpose between him
and the ballot-box. els it enough (says Mr..
Jenkins) "'that a4candidate for the presidency is
an honorable man, an intelligent and accomplish
ed stestesman, a successful general, and that he
subscribes to the whig creed ? If General Scott
can lay claims to other qualifications than these,
they are not known the mass of the people
There are hundreds of thousands of American citi-
zens having in equal degree these qualifications,
except only that of which the sword and the epau-
lette are the symbols the absence of which, in
my poor judgment, operates no disparagement.
But there are other qualifications, by no means
so common, which ought to be considered indis-
pensable, and which, without enumeration, will pre-
sent themselves to every rejecting mind. We are
not only without evidence that Gen. Scott has these
but there is good reason to believe that he has very
decided disquatyfcations. Will it be denied that
he hasa hasty, arbitrary telnper-an imperious
self will, impatient of all pposition-overween-
ing confidence in his own judgment, and inordi-
nate ambition viii it be pretended that he has
clear, calm, well-balanced mind, whose equili-
brium cannot be easily disturbed ? If not, is Il
mise, as 1t safe. to place such man, accustomed,
throughout long and active life, to despotic mill
tary rule, at the head of republican government?

The Southern Scott wings are about to lose the
services of their abolition friend and ally, J. H.
Goodale, in manufacturing falsehoods in relation
to Gen. Pierce's course in New Hampshire
John P. Hale, (Goodale's particular friend and
patron has lately been nominated by the abolition
lists for the Presidency and it is necessary for this
editor to change his tactics, as not to nure his
friend and let the Scott tactcians for the present.
paddle their own canoe" He places at the head
of his paper, (the Manchester, New Hampshire,
Democrat, the names of John P Hale for the
Presidency, and George w. Julian, for the Vice
Presidency. And in an article eulogising Hale,
thus alludes to Gen. Pierce's course towards him.
AS this man Goodale has appeared to be in high
credit with the southern Scott men lately, we COM
mend this testimony particularly to their attention
The Manchester IN. H.) Democrat of August
10, 1852, which we now have before US, thus dis
courses
In 1843, Mr.. Hale was elected by the demo
Gratis to Congress, where he soon took a promi-
nent position for his bold and manly independence.
When in 1914, he opposed the admission of Tex
as as SLAVE State, Franklin Pierce and other
leaders of the party attempted to crash him. Oh
the long struggle which followed, and finally re-
suited in the election of Mr.. Hale to the United
States Senate, our readers are already informed.
And after alluding to the New Boston charges,
&C., the editor not wishing to charge his cores
pondent, so soon after endorsing him, with having
written falsehood, or with mot reporting Gen.
Pierce accurately" he then repeats again what
he has said of Gen. Pierce all the time. And to
avoid giving the lie direct to his correspondent,
Mr.. Foss, he charges Gen. Pierce of being guilty
of hypocrisy, or not meaning what Foss charged
him with saying
This is. indeed, ga good one p But let the
reader peruse, and judge for himself Hear
Goodale:
We have no interest in this matter other than
to sustain the truth. We haze from the outset
maintained that Gen. Pierce Uas the most servae
and untrmstOorthy Of Northern politicians, and
his recent secret letters to the South prove him to
be still such. When he attempted to deceive the
citizens of this country by his New Boston speech,
we promptly exposed his hypocrisy. If his du-
Plicity is now giving, him and his friends vast
deal of trouble, it is his own fault-not ours.
We would now simply ask our honest Wing
and Scott friends, if they not ashamed of them
selves in thus having been lead off in the propa-
cation of a talsehood, by such arrant Abolition
knaves as Goodale and Foss and Fogg.-C oluma-

Gen. Pierce, says the Nashville Union, neuer did
VOte to deny to STAKEHOLDER the right to remove
his property from one State to another. General
Pierce never did vote to deny the STAKEHOLDER any
RIGHT which the law gave him. If the Banner
will take the trouble to investigate this vote, it
will find that such differences are unjust and illog
ical
General Pierce simply voted to preserve un-
changed the law then and noU existing in the Dis
trict of Columbia and which law is the law of Ma.
ryland, a slaveholding State, and passed by her
egisture. The fact is, that according to the law no
resident can bring slave into the district, twelve
months after his own location in it. All that Gen.
Pierce did was simply to decline giving to Mr.
Brooke special privilege which no other citizen
in the district enjoyed. 1t may suit party which
uphold monopoles and encourages special privi-
leges to denounce this vote, but it will be hard to
satisfy rejecting people that Mr. Brooke was any
entitled to the privilege of bringing slaves in
to the District than any other citizen. So much
for this objection.

A practical mechanic of New York named Ste
phen R. Parkhurst, has made an improvement in
the cotton gin, which is very warmly commended
by the Mirror. That paper says that it has al
ready successfully proved by far the best piece of
machinery ever used for the purpose. Its great
superiority consists in its preserving unchanged the
staple of the cotton, also its life and lustre, and
of thoroughly cleansing it from every impurity.-
Instead of tearing the cotton to pieces, it unites
the fbres, which pass from the gin in perfectly
uniform and merchantable condition. Another
great desderatum is, that the cotton gathered at
any one picking is equalized in quality and appear
ance. This increases its value in the market from
one -a-half to two cents per pound above that
ginned by any other machine. 1t has been tried
side by side with the Whitney Gin, on the pIanta-
ton of Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
and specimens of the cotton from his plantation,
ginned by the Parkhurst Gin, received the first
premium at the Worlds Fair in London last year.
For the purpose of introducing the invention
throughout the cotton growing region, the patentee
has consented to allow stock company to be
formed, with capital of 800 900. in shares OF
500 each, has united with some gentlemen oil
New York, who are prepared to show to capitalists
who may feel disposed to look into the merits oil
the invention, that it can be made an unusually
profitable investment.
The Mirror thus sums up the value of this in
vention =
cat an advance of / to cents per pound in
the value of cotton ginned by this machine, and
estimating the future crops of the United States at
2, SOC, 900 bales annually the gain to the planters
will amount to the enormous of fifteen to TWEEN
ty- five millions of dollars per year."
In connection with the gin is a carding machine,
which is intended to separate and arrange the cot
ton, preparatory to spinning. This is said to be
avast Improvement, whose benefit will enure to the
company above noted. Patents, both in this coun-
try and in Europe have been taken out for both in
ventions.-MobIe Herald

Egr The Manchester IN H.) Union Demo
crat thus discourses of the veritabe Foss, the re-
ported reporter of Pierce's New Boston speech:
Foss has been for whole long years-and many
of them too-the most mischievous, ndefatigable,
unrelenting, and unreasoning Abolition fre-eater
in this state-without any exception. He used to
be Baptist preacher, but the progress ofthat sect
in fanaticism-rapid enough in Gods name, didnt
keep pace with the celebrity of has movements, and
the result was, some ten dozen years ago, he
lost the character of clergyman in that of an Alb
clifton man-of-all- work-preaching Abolitionsm
Sundays, when any body will hear him,-stump-
ing the State over periodically, in the cause,
expressing runaway negroes northward- abusing
Frank Pierce in the columns of one of his ''Dem-
ocrats'' -hissng Democratic speakers and inter-
rupting Democratic meetings whenever he dares
to--spoutng fanaticism on the corners, or in his
grocery retreats when the is vertical-and act
ing as the general whpper-in of the Wing clique
of this city whenever they want Abolition votes or
affidavts.
This is the man Southern Wings employ to con-
vict Frank Pierce of hostility to the fugitivesave
law Why, for the last two years at least, it has
been his constant effort to convict him and the
Democratic party of eractly the reverse, and to
crush both by the weight Of odium he supposes
such course is likely to excite. He knows that

withstanding the gigantic lie he has sent for dis

Rg- The Savannah Republican, thorough
whig paper, thus comments on Gen. Scott:
We are very glad to see Mr.. Bolts taking the
part of Gen. Scott. He is poor groom to pre-
pare racer for the track, being sure to give him
the e. bolts ]? There may be policy, but we are
unable to discover any frankness or patriotism, in
Gen. SCOTS present position. The fact that he
remains silent at the suggestion of his ''friends
North'' is evidence that he is shaping his action
to suit them. Will he not do the same if elected
President? If Seward and his followers control
him now, we see no reason to hope for better
things after his election. 1t is this consideration
which will prevent Southern Wings from support
ing him on any kind of platform, or with any sort
of letter, however satisfactory.

re- The N. 0. Bee, furious Scott organ said
of him before the nomination:
''The idea of Gen. SCOTS popularity in this

has no friends beyond the limits of our city. Let
those who think otherwise question the Wings, of
the country, as we have done, and see if they can
discover Scott man, through afve-hundred mag

The N. O. Bulletin, on the 18th May last, was
equally as emphatic. 1t said
''Scott stock has very palpably declined within
the past two or three weeks, owing to the unac-
countabe silence of the glorious old soldier in ref
erence to matters of vital Importance to the South
ern people, and the fact that the leading abolition

arch agitator, Seward foremost IN pressing has
