There is nothing more alluring to the young
heart, IL it be pure and unselfsh, than the dream
Of comforting happiness. Higher, more intoxi-
eating far than to receive JOY at the hands of
others, is the hope Of being comfort TO the low
est or meanest upon earth; and we are very apt,
in those early days when no experience of disap-
pointment or world. taught prudence has set q
limit to the boundlessness Of desires for good,
to make to our hearts temple, where it Is en-
shrined in hope.

assures US that it is the general belief there that
if General Pierce is elected President, John Yam
Buren, aoiH have seat in HE cabinet. We will only

truth. Au the indications favor it.

Facts worth Remembering.

In Ohio, in 1910, the majority for the Wing
candidate for governor was not l7,Ooo-while
General Harrison carried the State by 2S,376
majority. In 1874, the Wing majority for gov
ernor was 3,277, when Mr.. Clay carried the
State by 5,94O majority. In lS48, the Wing
majority for governor was 2S5, when Gen. Cass
carried the State by 1916 majority, though he
was in minority Of about seventeen thousand on
the full vote
In Pennsylvania, in 1910, the Democratic
majority on the State ticket was 5,498, and yet
General Harrison carried the State by 349 major
ity. In 1874, the Democrats carried the State
ticket, and then added over 1000 to the vote for
Mr.. Polk. In 1848, the Wing Governor was
elected only by 302 majority, and at the Presi-
dental election few days afterwards General
Taylor carried the State by I4,347 over General
Cass, and 3,074 over both him and Van Buren,.
1t is fairly inferrable upon this that the recent
State elections afford no indication Of the Presi-
sidential contest. That is an issue between
Scott and Pierce, and the people, regardless of
party organization, are daily giving the most
positive assurances of a verdict in favor of the
former.

THE FAcETIous ORGAS.-The Washington
Union is very quizzcal sheet and constantly
INDUCES its humor at the expense OF the candi-
date and party which it is hired at considerable
cost to serve. Referring to Gen. Pierce's speech
at the New Hampshire Fair, it INDUCES in the
following cruel piece Of pleasantly:
"what Democrat is thore in the land who
would not have hung his head with shame and
disappointment, IL General Pierce had seized the
occasion to eIpatiate upon his civil or military
career to enumerate the high Offices he has de-
cined OF laid down, the services he has rendered,
or the honors he has won J"
We agree entirely with our metropolitan con-
temporary, that there Is no Democrat in the
land" possessing common discrimination, who
would not "have hung his head in shame and dis
appointment" IL Gen. Pierce had attempted to
"eIpatiate upon his civil or military career, :"
since, as neither of them will bear criticism, or
inspection, the gratuitous provocation to scru-
tiny would emily have excited indignation and

News by this Mornings Mails.
General soott I'm New York.

The same enthusiastic reception which has met
General Scott at every step of his progress in the
West, was extended TO him on his arrival in New
York. The Tribune Of yesterday thus describes
the scene presented on his arrival in that city:
From Chambers street along the Hudson to
Harrison, the sidewalks were lined with anxious
spectators, eagerly awaiting the arrival Of the
car that bore the hope of many a manly heart,
!" the observed of all observers"
Reaching Chambers street, the General was
at last obliged to respond to the hearty cheering
that greeted him along his way and raising the
window Of the car, he repeatedly bowed his
thanks to the thousands of admirers by whom
the cars were surrounded. Hundreds rushed
forward to grasp the extended hand of the Hero
of Lundy's Lane; and so warmly did they evince
the strength Of their feelings, that the strong
pressure of brawny Wing hands fairly made the
old General vince. However, the General made
the sacrifice of his convenience-how many other
sacrifices has he not ade?-and gratihed his
enthusiastic friends in and out Of the cars with
the pressure of his hand.
The scene around the depot, when the cars had
come to stand, fairly beggars description.
There were many thousand citizens awaiting at
the depot the Generals arrival. The cheering,
shouting, rushing here and there, scrambing,
showing pushing, squeezing, tearing and hauling
to get sight of the General, the great object OF
attraction, though not the most refined mode Of
expressing Attachment and admiration, were none
the less an evidence of whole-souled, manly, en-
thusiastic feeling of welcome entertained by the
Wings of New York city for the noble standard
bearer of the party, Winfield Scott.
Gen. Scott spent yesterday at his residence at
Elizabethtown, N. ]. He proceeds to Philadel-
phia this morning, and tomorrow will attend the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Fair at Lancas-
ter.
