II is a common remark, that you may
know n man by his friends. You can
tell something about him by noticing
who are his enemies. Gen. Scott has
various opponents.
Rev. Mr.. BrOwnlow opposes him be~
cause he caused the churches and reli.
gious services of the Catholics Of Mexi-
CO to be respected BY his soldiers. And
all supporters of the Religious Test in
New Hampshire, and sectarian b'gols
everyw' ere, follow the lead of Rev. Mr.,
Brownlow.
The London Times opposes him be.
cause "Gen. Pierce will be a valuable
practical ally to the commelci al policy of
England" by which Ireland was ruined
and America seriously injured. And the
capitalists and landholders in Eng land.
follow the lead of The London Tunes.
Mr.. Toombs and Stephens oppose him
because ''he gives no other guarantee
for the policy of his administration than
the known incidents of long life,'' and
they have looked through them, and can
find nothing that indicates any leaning
to ward their views. And the Southern
Secessionsts follow the lead Of Messrs.
Toombs and Stephens.
The PHILADELPHIA Swm opposes him,
because "he is disposed to giant too ma.
ny privileges to foreigners. And Ma,
tiviles everywhere follow the lead Of
The Philadelphia San. 80
The Mexicans and Canadians oppose
him, because, they think ''he is too
much Of military man. .
The South Carolina and Frontier mall
contents oppose him, because they think
he is too much of Peace man.
The Snags and Sawyers and Shoals
and Breakers in the Rivers and Harbors
oppose him, because they know that if
ne il elected tt ey viii have to move.
Loco Foco Office holders here and
there. oppose him for the same reason.
And the greater part Of the Loco Fo.:
CO party follow their lead, simply be-
cause they are Loco Focos. without
knowing why or wheretore.--AIba"y

THE PROSPER IN PENNSYLVANIA
The editor Of the Phiiadel phia Inquirer
says that on Thursday he conversed
with gentleman from Washington Co.,
Pa, who gave the most glowing accounts
of the prospects Of Gen. Scott in that
section of the State. He says that his
popularity is unbounded. and that he
will receive larger maiorities by many
thousands in the aggregate, than were
given to Gen. Taylor. Allegheny Ccun.
Iy he predicts. will give Eve thousand
majority. while Washington will do bet 'e,
ter than on any former occasion The
feeling Of enthusiasm on behalf of Old
Chip, is, he assures us, not confined to
the Wings, but extends to many demo-
Gratis. This is altogether encouraging
and corresponds with our advices by
letter, as we'll as by public journals.

W. M. RAY.-Among the victims
of the terrible casualty on the Hudson
river steamer Henry Clay, the telegraph
gives the name Of Nv. F. Ray, wife and
and daughter. We deeply regret to
say that we have no longer any resson
to doubt that the perso MS indicated in
this fearful message are w. NJ. Ray, wife
and daughter, OF this city. Mr.. Ray.
Lard Oil Dealer. and resident on TN
street, between Race and Elm, was with
his family at Albany on the 18th, and ii
is thought must have taken passage on
the doomed Henry Clay. A young son
was with him, but Of his fate the Telegraph
makes no mention, and it may be hoped
that he escaped Cincinnati Gazette
In our last we gave some of the par
ticulars concerning the fate Of the family
above referred to, who were on their
way to visit their friends in this town.
The son of Mr. Ray was saved by Mr..
G. w. D. Cook. (fa'her-in>law of Mr..
R.) by swimming ashore with him on
his back.

From the Philadelphia ". american.
President Fillmore and General ScO!t t.

We are permitted, by the gentleman
to hoN it was addressed, to make pub
lie the following extract from letter Of
President Fillmore, dated the 10Th of
July. II was written in reply to one the
President had received from warm
pei sonal friend and Jealous supporter,
on the subject Of the late Wing nomina.
ton at Baltimore. It brea,hes. tie
tight spirit, and is alike honorable to the
writer and the illustrious nominee. This
letter was obviously not intended for
publication, and would most probably
never have seen the light, bit for the
calumnious rumo's lately che alated, BY
the enemies of both, that the President
was DESTROYS Of defeating Gen. Scott s
elections rumtr eont,adicted by the
whole tenor of the Presidents life. l.
is for the purpose Of doing him justice.
asd IN the full persuasion that he desires
no con ces lment Of his sentiments on the
subject in questit n. that the receiver OF
the letter ventures TO make known III Csc
sentiments. rs expressed by the Prtsi-
dent himself, in the freedom Of friendly,
intercourse.

The democratic platform erected at Bal
timOre few months since, appears to be
neither large enough or strong enough to
hold all for whom it was Intended. The
bell welhers Of the party are leaping over
the railing on all sides, and running helter
skelter u search Of more ccngenial quar-
,ers-and as the aocks usually follow their
leaders, we may expect soon to see that
famous supers'ructure mainly occupied
by those who care more for the "fodder"
than for the company they keep.
Here are the names OF some Of those
democrats who repudiate the nominees of
The party ....
Benjamin L. Pessdc, formerly First
Judge CT Orleans county, hitherto a
democrat, is now Vice President Of the
Scott and Graham Club at Albion.
james Duane Doty, a democratic
member of Congress, and formerly Gov.
ernor of Wisconsin, says he will not vote
for Pierce and King,
George WaltAorn, Esq. a democratic
member of the Georgia Senate from the
counties Of Liberty and Bryan. has writ
ten letter announcing himselfin favor
of the election Of General Scott. His
great objection to P ierce is, that he 'con-.
siders him the nominee Of the State
rights party
Ebenezer Knowlton, democratic Spea-
ker of the Maine House of Representa-
tives il l847, and recently a prominent
candidate in Convention for the office of
Governor, bolts from Pierce and King,
and says, in published letter, g. can
not and shall net vote with the demo-
cratic party at the coming Presidential
election"
A Harrisburg pape: says, In one
township, an old gentleman and his
twelve sons, all democrats, have declared
their determination to vote for General
Scott, and scores of similar instances
could be given. Hundreds of demo-
Gratis in Harrisburg and throughout
Danphin county, will rally in his sup
port, and there is no telling what his
m .jority will be. +" The paper states that
if the other counties OF Pennsylvania do
as we'll as old Dauphin, the majority for
Scott and Graham will not fall short Of
10000.
The Detroit Advertiser says, not a
day passes over their heads wherein they
do not hear of one or more men who
have usually voted against us. declaring
their intention to 60 for Scott. That
paper states it as their settled beliefthat
Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin are
sure for Scott.
