Gov. Troup's Letter of Acceptance.
VALDosTA, Ga, Sept. 27, 1852.

Gentlemen Il am now seventy-two years old,
and for the last twenty or thirty years, if the
Presidency had been offered spontaneously by
the people of the United States l would not
have accepted it, because ofmy physical disquali-
fcation to execute the duties of that Office. At
no period within that, could |, as an honest man,
have done so. Not many years ago the State
Rights party of Georgia were pleased to make
that nomination, and my acquiescence was pla-
ced on the footing that the acceptance would
fulfil the object of the demand, viz: that other
wise, that party, which had very strong claims
on me, as a native and citizen of Georgia, and
could not conscientiousy y vote for any other can
didate who had fair prospect of success-were
at liberty to vote for ME, while other persons had
none. 1t was the partially Of friendship which
suppested similar movement on the part Of
distinguished citizens of South Carolina on an
other occasion, and which discountenanced for
similar reasons.
Your decided nomination on the present occa-
sion leaves me no alternative but to submit my
self cheerfully to the will of the States Rights
Convention Of Alabama, recently assembled at
Montgomery, in that State, but for the sole pur-
pose Of organising that party. 1t, as we'll as the
States Ri ghts Party of any portion Of the Uni
ted States, may rightfully demand that which it
has only asked because, in my day and genera
ton l have laborcd to contribute a mite accor-
ding to my humble abilities to sustain its prnci-
Piles: they are the only principles worth any
thing to the Southern country, and as long as
Party of two or three can be gathered together
for such purpose, the contribution Of my name is
the least could think Of making-at least for
the purpose Of merely organizing that Party
but for that purpose only.
The increasing pressure Of disease forewarns
me that but short breathing spell remains, and
hasten to nv conclusion. I wouM vote for
Pierce and King Mr.. King is Il most excellent
man, and hare not expected erer to be able to
vote for Northern man so pure and disint rest
ed as Mr.. Pierce, and you may neuer have such
another opportunity. But you may use my
name as long as you please for organizing the
States Rights party, and maintaining and con-
sccrating its principles.
1t is honorable to have such an associate in
the nomination as Gen. Qutman: he deserves
and would adorn any Office. G. NJ. TRoUP.

find upon inquiry at the Treasury that the
surplus revenue on the first Of Janupry, will pro-
baby amount to twenty millions, as has been
supposed. But l also learn that importatlons
are not increasing; though they have, as has
been recently stated, been increased at the port
of New-Yo they have, during the same t'me'
decreased at other ports. The public DEBT can
not be reduced any more rapidly than IS ProV'-
ded for in the !oan acts. 1t is not true, there-
fore, that any stocks of the United States are 10
be bought in with the twenty millions. These
stocks are about eighteen per cent above par
and the loan act does not provide for their pur
chase, except at par.
Towards the close of the late session, in antlcl-
patton of the accumulation of surplus, the Ex-
ecutive applied to Congress for an act to Fer.
NIT the purchase of stocks at market price. But
though the Committees were in favor of it, the
bill did not pass. The money will remain heap
ed UP in gold and silver in the Treasury. But
Congress will have a scramble for it.

WELL-TIMED SPEECH BY A MEcnANIc-At
the time when Sir Richard Steele was prepa-
ring his great room in York Buildings for public
orations, he happened to be pretty much behind
hand in his payments to the workmen and coming
one day among them to see what progress they
made, he ordered the carpenter to get into the
rostrum and make speech, that he might observe
how it could be heard. The fellow mounted, and
scratching his poll, told Sir Richard that he knew
not what to say for he was no orator. "O," cries
the knight, "no matter for that; speak anything
that comes uppermost"
"Why, then Sir Richard" says the fellow, there
we have been working for your honor these six
months and cannot get one penny ofmoney. Pray
sir, when do you design to pay us9" Very we'll
very we'll, said Sir Richard, spray come down. 1
have heard quite enough. cannot but own you
speak very distinctly, though don't much admire
your subject"

eB-One of the best of the British Poets, THOMAS
GRAY whose may be associated with the greatest
of the modern poets has said:
Full many a gem Of purest ray serenep
The dark unfathom'd caves Of ocean bear:
Full many flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air"
The poem from whence this verse is taken has been
Justly admired as production Of great merit Scarce
ly line Of tho thrtytwo verses, Of four lines each,
but contains thought for profitable reflection The Po
en-, as is well known, is an "Elegy written in Coun.
try Church-yard." 1t has been said of it, by able
TO Judge, that few Poems were ever so pOpular--
Eleven editions oft have been printed, and has hecn
translated into Latin and bears the marks OF ba-
ing one of the most vorte productions o. the British
Muse" Tie sentiment Of the whole Poem is admiTa-
blc and not unfrequeny is it quoted by authors and
orators, showing that genius may have lived and died
in the bosom of "some Village -Hampden," or Of
''Somc mute inglorious Milton
Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood"
Il is even thus that we may often that genius is
obscured by the dark shadows Of adversely and he
who is condemned to work his way through povertys
vale to flames gilded DOME has rugged and toisome
path to tread No marvel that they who have honors
NAV vet have more Merit and true genius are not al
ways cared for, and may bc discovered beneath the
rough breast fthe honest yeoman and unlettered
tisan.
"For knowledge to their eyes her ample page,
Rich with the spoils oftime did neer unroll,
Chill penury repressed their noble rage,
And froze the genial current Of the SOUL"
AS "tbe richest ore contains dross so also docs il:
sometimes happen that beneath the ruined mass may
the brightest jewel be discovered
The fate of such may be read in the universal history
of experience. How many thousands have only been
required when their country needed their services

and as reward for their gallant devotion, either get
shot, die gorousy or become patriotic beggars for tho

"Whose lot forbad nor circumscribed alone
Their growing virtues, but their crimes con6n'd;
Forbad to wade through slaughter to throne
And shut tho gates Of morcy on mankind"

Alas, how little do we appreciate a mothers
tenderness while living! How needless are we
in youth of all her anxieties and kindness But
when she is dead and gone, when the cares and
codness OF the world come whitening to our hearts
when we experience how hard it is to find true
sympathy, how few love us for ourselves, how
few will betriend us in misfortune: then it is that
we think of mothers We have lost.

Gen. scott's Speech at Cincinnati.

The following is a full report of Gen. Scott's
speech in reply to the welcome addresses:
Felow-ctizens of the Buckeye State and of
the Queen city of the West: 1t has been my
fortune to face multitudes of my country's enc
mics on the battle field, but never was so near
ly overcome rs now. (Cheers.) Never before
have met with so warm reception. (Deafen-
ing cheers) On the way to your beautiful city,
at the levees and all along the streets, have
read the welcome in the faces Of this generous
people, and have literally felt the embrace of
thousand arms worthy to defend any country.
(Applause.)
Among these, am glad to have recognized,
as passed along your crowded streets, the IA
niliar accents of many of your Irish and Ger
man citizens, whose countrymen fought so brave
ly on the plains of Mexico, and rendered there
such essential service to their adopted country.
In the field they manifested devotion to her
interests, and manly bravery, which could have
been surpassed by no other people but our own.
always saw them fighting with admiration, and
l Ishall always speak ofthem with praise. (Cheers.
My countrymen, l have within the sound Of
my voice many besides those who rank them
selves with the Wing party Of this nation.
A voice. Yes, here are Democrats.
Gen. Scott. am glad to meet you all. You
have met to do some little honor to an old SOL
dier, who has spent long life in the service Of
his country for this honor, however little de-
served, thank you-it will be cherished among
my most precious recollections.
Fellow-C -Citzens-You could not hear all the
able address of Judge johnson. Pardon in me
the seeming egotism Of aluding to portion of
his speech. Your speaker alluded to that critical
hour in our history when Hull had ingloriously
surrendered, and the blackest clouds hung threa-
teningly on the horizon of our beloved country.
1t was then that called around me men that
could be trusted, and told them the hour had
come for the decisive blow-that a work must
be done on the Canada frontier that would lift
the hearts of the American people from the
gloom of recent events, and enable them and
their children to ring bells, to fire cannon and
build bonfircs in commemoration Of American
victories that should obscure the memory Of
Hull's surrender. We fell to work, and the thing
was done. (Cheers) The battles Of Chippewa
and Lundys Lane followed.

PERSONAL HABITS OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDI-
DATEs.-The New York Mirror has sprightly
article on the personal habits OF Presidential call
didates, and so forth. We quote:
The Presidents of the United States, with one
or two exceptions, have been remarkably abste
mio,h men, from Washington down. General
Harrison drank whiskey and died. Gen. Taylor
cat cucumbcrs and cherries, and drank milk, and
died Mr. Fillmore, who is temperate in all
things" sticks to cold water and "keeps cool"
through all wcathcrs-some of his friends think
little too cool.
OF the candidates now before the people, Gen.
Scott is an epicure Gen. Pierce convire; and
John P. Hale; hale fellow" who likes good
glass of hot whiskey punch before going to bed
Oh cold night. But does any reasonable man
suppose that either of these candidates, if elec-
ted, would be guilty of any dehections from this
straight line of dignfed sobriety? Not at all.
When man becomes President of the United
States, the very dignity of the position, and the
responsibility attached to it, will keep him per-
pendcular per farce There is nothing left for
him but the honorable discharge Of his duties.
The highest earthly ambition is gratifed; the
highest round upon the political ladder is at
