For many articles, which we cannot Cnumerate,
hcre is much inquiry, principally for speculative
rnrnoses but We do not hear of any large transac-
,ons beyond those effected Immediately on the
arrival Of the Confidence last night, embracing
ouan,itics Of lumber and large lots of ducks, drills,
r,cks and blankets. The prices Of these in conse-
oucncc have gone up. Duck is held now at 80
rents drills in proportion ; and blankets at an
oIyaDce Of $2aS2 50 each on former quotations
These figures will not probably be sustained be-
vond a day or two.
All descriptions Of lumber have gone up. All
manner Of prices are asked, from $500 per thou
,lnd to 5000; and some are even asking as high
rs 5000.
Holders of Flour are asking $40 This was the
price agreed upon previous to the receipt Of the
news from Sacramento, though a large lot is re.
r,rted to have been sold to-day ct S3s. Lard may
be said to be worth 20 cts. in large lots Hams at

Men of the South Read.

This extract is from an address, four columns
in length, published in the Elyra Courier, an Ohio
Abolition Wing journal, and signed by twelve
abolition Scott wings of that region, so says the
Memphis Appeal. The address is Gan earnest ap-
peal to anti-sta0ery men," 1t is powerful testmo-
ny as to the true positions of Pierce and Scott
with respect to the vital question of slavery:
owe might multiply extracts from southern pa
pers, showing the same opposition to Gen. Scott
but our limits forbid We have laid the whole
matter fairly before you, and ask you to decide
which of the two candidates you prefer Scott
was nominated by Northern men, opponents to
slavery, and is opposed by the south for rea-
sons fully stated In the above. Pierce received
the entire southern VOTE with perhaps two or three
exceptona, and it is in every respect satisfactory
to them. Will the North desert Scott, under these
circumstances, and suffer the shareholders to tri
umph?
again, with Scott our President, the Flu
gitive Slave Law may be repealed wththout be-
ing met with an Executive veto Not SO with
Gen Pierce in the Executive chair. He would
veto its repeal because its principles command
the appreciation of his judgment Again, the
democratic platform declares, in effect, that its
repeal would be unconstitutional Pierce saws
that:declaraton is correct, and believing this, he
any regard to his oath. With Gen. Scott, it may
be SO amended as, to give the fugitive trial by
jury-for the wing resolution is not inimical to a
change in this respect. Gen. Pierce is pledged to
resist any changes in the law Whatever, that will
impair its efficiency, and hence, he will veto such
bill. THE NOMINATION OF GEN. SCOTT
WAS A NORTHERN TRIUMPH, and his cleo
ton would be regarded SO by the shareholders,
while the election of Gen. Pierce would be sig
nal for the dismemberment of and the extension
of slavery over Mexico-the unwarrantable seiz-
ure of Cuba, and triumph to the South unequal
led in the history of the damning curse of sla-
very.
''For these reasons, regarding the present po-
sion of Gen. Scott antagonistical to the further
extension of slavery feel it to be our duty, as
citizens of this republic, having due regard for
the welfare of the slave, to give him our earnest
support in the coming election. THE NORTH
HAS TRIUMPHED IN HIS NOMINATION
let her triumph in his ELECTION, and for once
let the arrogant demands of the south be denied
This result will surely follow, if anti-slayery mer
vote as due regard for their profession demands
We submit these propositions to your judgment
and ask candid perusal, believing that the pre-
judice you may entertain against the resolution O
the wings relating to the compromise, will not pre-
vent you from supporting the election of Genera
Scott.
Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1852-09-25
The Other Side.

We intend to keep our readers fully advised OF
the double game which the wings are playing, Of
holding Gen. Pierce up as a deadly enemy of alb
clifton in the North and its friend in the South.
The following is from the last New York Tri-
bune received by US
The Post distresses us with the information that
several members of the Union party of Georgia
and Alabama won't vote for Gen. Scott If it
would but fairly set before its readers their reasons
for this resolve, we would thank it to reprint the
list daily till the election. The naked truth is
that they want President who will hunt down
Free Soil Wings as FRANK PIERCE HAS
HUNTED DOWN FREE SOIL DEMO Gratis
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Ez~ AND THEY
SUSPECT GEN. SCOTT IS NOT THEIR
MAN. They wanta man who will execute all
who dislike the.savehunting compact AND THEY
CAN'T TRUST GEN SCOTT FOR THIS
We commend their sagacity, and exhort the p ost
to initiate their example.
''Samuel I. Jillson, until now leading whig
of Washington county, in this State addressed a
democratic meeting ,at Whitehall, avowing that
'he felt it duty to himself and his country to vote
for Pierce in preference to Scott"
! Now the Post don't know enough of the :1ead-
ing whg' to give his name corr city; and dard
not let its readers know that he is bitter Silver
Gray WHO GOES FOR PIERCE OUT OF
| HATRED TO- FREE SOILISM. He is not a
man of great influence, and never was 'leadng
whig;' but we think he may be relied on to in
crease SCOTS majority in Washington county
about 100 votes. If he were better known, he
would do US better service.
So, the New FORK Tribune, which Knows Gen
Pierce well, which is printed in his neghborhood,
sends such Statements as the foregoing abroad to
secure votes for Scott.
j How different this is from the. statements and
arguments of the allies of the Tribune in Tennes-
see Let ourreaders mark the contrast !-Nash-
oue american.

Of? And she said, an old man cometh up, and
he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceiv-
that it was Samuel, and he stopped with his face
to the ground, and bowed himself.
s15. And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast 'hou
disuuieted me, to bring me np2 And Saul how
forcibly it applies to General Scottl) answered,
am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war
against me, and God is departed from me, and
answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor
by dreams therefore l have called thee, that thou
mayest make known to me what shall do -
Like the spirit of Samuel in behalf of Saul, so
has the spirit of Henry Clay been invoked in be-
half of General Scott. And the response in the
one case, and in the other is utterly cheering
The agency of the Witch of Endor and the Wiz
ard of Wall street is the same. The parallel IS
perfect, but too awful to follow it through.
And vet our wise neighbor argues that because
Henry Clay entertained such opinions of General
aylor as late as September 60, 1848, surely Mr..
Webster may be excused from holding similar opn-
ions of General Scott as late as September g. 1859.
Indeed it is contended that Mr.. Webster is less to
blame than Mr. Clay, because he has said moth
ing half SO frightful against mere military nomina-
tons But most curious of all, this letter of Mr..
CLAW is published in justification of the earned
neutrality of Mr.. Webster. The pretence is "a
musing. 1t is the sword of Joab under the fifth
rib of Gen. Scott. Now we believe, if the truth
were all known, that Mr. Clay's opinions of Gen.
SCOTS nomination were not whit more flattering
than his objections to Gen. Taylor. Such were
his views of military chieftains from the time OF
Gen, Jackson Cannot our neighbor of the Cou-
rier give us now some authentic statement of Mr..
Clay's direct opinions concerning the nomination
of Gen. Scott, and the wisdom of the Baltimore
Convention? There is nothing to be saved now
by holding back.-N Y, Herald.
