"Ion" this morning says:

"Ion" this morning says:
"Mr Toombs left this city yesterday for Geor-
gia, where he will, of course, attend the State
convention of the Union party, to be held on the
18th. 1t is supposed by some that the conven-
ton will present new Presidential ticket. II
so, it will amount to the same thing precisely as
n ratification Of the nomination of Pierce and
King.
"Several of the Southern Whig members Of
Congress have already, in speeches and in pub
lished manifestoes, pronounced against General
Scott as the Whg nominee for the Presidency
Others are yet to declare their opinions. Mr.
Cabel, of Florida, will, it is said, also publish
his views on the subject All these, and many
other Southern Wings, are pledged to withhold
their support from Gen. Scott wherever they may
vote.
Should the Georgia Union convention nomi-
nate an acceptable Whig candidate the effect
would be to draw off from the Whig vote of New
York and Massachusetts large body Of Webster
and Fillmore men, and give those States to Gen.
Pierce. But, if they make no new nomination.
their position will not have 80 much effect upon
the Southern vote. Then, again, the course of
these gentlemen is encouraging to the Freesoil
Wings, and may tend also to bring to Gen. Scott
the Freesoil Democratic vote of Ohio and New
York.
"The Scott men have, undoubtedly, confidence
and enthusiasm on their side SO far. They are
beginning to claim the votes of some of the reg
uar and unwavering Democratic States"
We have no fears for the effects of these
schemes on the prospects of General Scott; but
it is important that their infamous character
should be understood.
"Ion" is right in saying that the Scott men
have, undoubtedly, confidence and enthusiasm on
their side"

The Dinerenos.

The contrast between the candidates of the
two parties as we'll as between their principles,
is marked and striking. On the side OF the De-
mocracy, man has been put in nomination who
has not only given no evidence whatever, in pri-
yate or public lfe of any peculiar fitness for the
Presidential chair, but whose very name, up to
the hour of his nomination, was unknown to a
great majority even Of the leading men of his
party. General Pierce, whatever may be his
private worth, has as yet done nothing, said
nothing, that would lead us to think him possessed
Of more than very ordinary abilities, while he
can point to no great services rendered the coun-
try upon which to found his claim to the first
office in the peoples gift Ask his friends, .What
has your candidate done to entitle him to the
support of the people what eminent services
can he point to ?--in what has he displayed more
than very moderate ability ?" and they are at a
loss to answer. And in nothing is the past in
significance of public man, and the present in
capacity of General Pierce more clearly shown
than in the course now generally adopted by
Democratic papers, of saying as little as possible
concerning their own candidate, and enlarging
upon "Whig dissensions," 'hasty plates of
SOUP" and the like congenial topics. The very
silence of the Democratic press with respect to
their candidate is confession of his utter want
of any claim to the Presidency, and of the weak
ness of their ticket.
'iSSo
or the abilities of Gen. Scott His history is
that of the country for the past forty years, and
is familiar to every schoolboy. From the forests
of farthest Maine to the " Halls Of the Monte
zumas," his name is known as familiar as a
.household word" His abilities as soldier
and statesman, and his acknowledged worth as
citizen and a man, have compelled the admira-
ton of other nations, and the esteem and conf
dence Of our own.
The difference in the principles of the two par
ties, as laid down by the respective Conventions,
s equally noticeable. On the other hand, no
affirmative principles whatever, but a sort of
negative doctrnal creed, which prohibits the
party from doing anything, and only enjoins upon
it to abstain from doing. On the one hand, a
bold, manly, candid exposition Of principles as
old as the party whose creed they are, and no
trick of words, no evasion, no shutting, to cheat
the people into false belief. On one hand the
cowardice of known weakness, and on the other
the bold and open front Of conscious rectitude
and soundness of opinion, which has nothing to
fear, and therefore nothing to conceal.

The senate Report on the Census.

We have carefully read this report, and re-
gretted that such q report could possibly be made
by committee of such body. We perceive that
writer in the Pittsburg Gazette says of it:
"The select committee Of the Senate have re-
ported against printing portion of the indus
trial and social statistics collected by the Census
office, and now in the course of preparation for
publication. This report does not amount to
much. 1t is we'll understood TO proceed from the
bitter personal feelings of Mr.. Borland, who,
after his unmanly and disgraceful assault upon
Mr. Kennedy, the superintendent, was most dis
courteously and unjustifably placed upon this
committee. OF course there could have been no
personal intercourse between him and the head
of the Office, SO that the investigation ms to what
should be published and what suppressed has no
doubt proceeded mainly in the dark.
alt only remainsto be said that the informa-
ton collected at such expense. and with so much
care as has characterized the labors Of the Cen
sus Board, the Secretary Of the Interior, the Su-
perintendent Of the Census and his associates,
will not thus be lost TO the public. The entire
work, when prepared, will be one Of national i'm
portance, and Of immense benefit to science, to
legislation, and the general welfare of the coun-
try. 1t will doubtless contain errors, but will
also furnish the means Of detecting those errors.
Notwithstanding all the cavls suggested by per.
sonal enmity, and all the objections cited by in
terested criticism, the work will stand n great
historical monument Of the physical condition of
the United States at the present time. Congress
will doubtless order it to be published an ertenso,
WREN il can agree about the manner Of executing
its printing but should it fail TO do so, then the
private enterprise Of dozen respectable firms

Mr.. cIay-His Age and Family Relations

The Frankfort (ky.) Commonwealth says:
Henry Clay wis born April II, l777, and
consequently was, at his death, on the 29th Of
June, 1852, seventy five years. two months, and
seventeen days old. By the records of the court
Of appeals, at which we have had the curiosity
to look, we find that he was admitted to practice
in that court October 4, l799-almost fifty-three
years ago. He had commenced practice in the
circuit court one or two years before and we
presume he was, at his death, the oldest member
Of the Kentucky bar. Judge Bibb who is proba-
bly, the next oldest, was admitted to the bar Of
the court Of appeals in 1902.
"Mr. Clay leaves but three sons and no daugh-
ters. Only one Of his family (Thomas) was with
him when he died. He is the eldest, and farmer,
residing at Lexington, near Ashland He is
about fifty years old. James Clay, the second
son, our late charge to Portugal, is farmer, en-.
gaged in heavy business near st. Louis. He is
about thirty six John, the youngest son, is about
thirty years old, and resides at Ashland with bis
mother Mr.. Clay has had twelve children, and
but three Of the number survive him. 1t is said
that he has left competency for his family.
