ILL., when the dark clouds had shut down over us has
interposed as if TO battle human wisdom, outnarch

pose there in security.

"a FIRE IN THE REAR"-The following is from n

of Gen. Scott as the leader of the Galphius. 1t is

"l1e has been almost forty years prominently be-
fore the country, and in that time lie has done and
said many silly things which in themselves are
harmless, slGmber in silence, and covered be-
meath the rubbish OF time. But let him only come
before the public for political favors-where he has
of business, all his foolish deeds and speech
will be reused from their slumber-d isrobed of
shheet-and will be used TO terrible
effect, especially at the South. None but the most
discreet man that ever lived standing in the focus of
public gaze for forty years, and having 10 live in the
midst of all factions and interests could avoid doing
and saying some few foolish things. How much
more then, we ask would the lite of n man of Gen.
SCOTS weakness, vanity and pride, he spotted all o.
yer with words and acts that should be oblterated
forever and that ought never TO have occurred. His
improper use Of public moneys in his early days in
the army-his quarrel with General Jackson, in
which he came of second best-hiS bad treatment
of Gov Clnton-hs unsuccessful quarrel and con-
traversy with General Ganes-his contest with Gov.
Marcy in which he got the worst of the ight--hs
more recent contest with Gen. Pillow, in which to
say the least of it, he made nothing-and finally, his
base treatment of Mr. Clay in 1840-all these and
more would come up in Judgment against him, if
once brought before the country as candidate for
the presidency. His notorious vanity which is more
than equal to his military ability, has been the faith
fu mother of his indiscreet acts has given a pro-
geny of hateful and silly speeches and deeds, as nu-
nerous as the school OF little fishes that inhabit the
waters of Egypt"

The New York Tribune speaks asfollows of the
"platform -
The Wing National Convention yesterday began
by receiving II report from the Committee on Gre
dentals against each and every Scott claimant to
seat contested in that body Even the Tompkins
District where the Fillmore claimant did not even
pretend to have been elected by Delegates chosen by
the people of his District, but struggled in by
the aid of n Delegation chosen by the County Com
1nitiee of Tompklns, whose usurpation was prompt
ly rebuked and overruled by the Wing Freemen of
that District the seat was given TO the usurper by II
majority bent on triumph and reckless of right. So
the Orleans District given 10 the majoritys pre-
tender, while the Ulster District, which, in all the
poets favorable to the Fillmore claimant, stood on
precisely Identical ground with the Orleans they dec
ded neither way, but admitted both claimants

admitted Sheriff Carney) lost his seat because he
had Webster man opposed TO him-had Grinnell
been for Scott he would have been pitched out neck
and heels; but the Fillmore managers needed the
Webster votes to enable them 10 carry through their
plans and by rejecting Moses they would have up
set their own dish entirely But every impartial
man must feel that his right 10 his seat not
ly so clear as that of Charles Cook from the Temp

Committee, where Texas, Florida, Arkansas and
South Carolina voted down New York, Pennsylva-

was the Previous Question called on by that
model of boiling Whiggery, f. c. CabelI, of Flori-

and the Report sustained by l64 to H. So all the
Scott contestants thrown out and their places
supplied by Fillmore men.
The next Job was the Platform-a thoroughly
Hunkerish piece Of joiner work, concocted of South

friends were advised and urged by the Southern
Scott men TO let it pass quietly, the Webster and
Fillmore men had joined hands TO pass it any how,
and any violent, determined resistance TO its adop-

them TO odum, and perhaps defeat Old Chippewa's
nomination. So after Rufus Choate had been allow

The following physiological facts
were translated from a French Sci
entiic Journal: 4.
The average height Of man and
woman al birth, is generally sixteen
inches; in each OF the twelve years
after birth, one-tw ellth is added d to
the stature each year. Between

it is stIll further diminished after
this, to twenty-five, the period Of
maxium growth.
In old age, the height Of the body
diminishes on the average about
three inches. The height OF wo-
man varies less than that OF man in
different countries. The average
weight of male infant is about sew
eh pounds, of a female about six
and half pounds. The weight of
an infant decreases few days after
his birth, till it is a week old. At
tile end Of the first year, the child
isIthree times as heavy as when il IS
born. AT the age OF seven years,
itlis twice as heavy as when ayear
old. The average weight OF both
SD xes at twelve is nearly the same;
after that period, females viii be
found to weigh less than males.--
The average weigh; Of men Is one
hundred and thirty pounds, aud OF
