Orange CO. Observation-Disclosures

The Democracy held Convention at Chel-
sea, on Saturday week, Col Jacob Kent presid-
ing Hon. |. b. Peck chief orator. At the out
set, David Dearborn, Of Cornth, expressed a
doubt whether he had got into the right box,
but speedily this doubt was solved by a report
from the committee on resolutions. made by an
execution democrat, Esquire Dickey. The
resolutions were for Pierce & King, and the old
line state ticket nominated at Burllngton-to
wit, John S. Robinson g. Co Hon. 5. NJ. Big
elow OF Brookield, then offered substitute
declaring in favor Of the coalition platform OF
May 81, 1919, and Of the state ticket nominated
at Montpelier, to wit our old friend Lawrence
Branerd and his associates. The substitute was
rejected, when Mr.. Bigelow and his coadlutors
withdrew, and the remainder of the Convention
had things in their own way The following is
their ticket;

Testimony on the Tai
ents and Character of Scott.

See the first page for an admirable speech by
the Hon. John NJ. Clayton of Delaware. Clay
ton, it will be remembered was Secretary Of
State in the Cabinet of ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Mr. Clayton is himself scholar, lawyer and
statesman of good renown, and his testimony
on these points, as 10 Gen. Scott, is important
aud satisfactory. Above even this, note the
testimony and the argument Of Mr. Clayton as
to General SCOTS purity and patriotism; and
observe particularly, that he states by au-
thority, and as fact iehich he knolos to be true
that Gen. Scott resisted bride Of one million
aud quarter Of dollars, and the Presidency Of
Mexico for five years. Mr.. Clayton is not the
man to say this if he does not knoC it. We
suppose the evidence is to be found in the State
Department at Washington, and that Mr.. Clay
ton, as Secrctaryof State, was fully apprized OF
the whole matter.
