RENUNcIATIoNs IN LoUIsIANA.--Col VIM.
S. Hamilton, Democrat of long standing
and great influence in the parish Of West
Feliciana, (La.) has declaredfor Gen. Scott
He has always been an unwavering Demo-
crat, and in 1880 he was the Jackson candi-
date for Governor Of Louisiana. His de.
termination to sustain Scott is doubtless the
result Of calm, deliberate Judgment. We
regard his accession to our cause as an e.
vent ofthe highest Importance, ,and an omen
Of glorious triumph in Louisiana.
We learn from the "Capitolion Vis-a-vis''
that in Baton Rouge, besides Col. K. R.
Puckett, whose remuneration Of Locoloco-
ism we noticed some days ago, Messrs.
Abram Byrd and Gilbert Daiole, whose
names are publishedin the list of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, refuse to sup
port Pierce and King They can't go the
ticket. John Konner, ofthe same parish,
can't stand false Democracy any longer, and
will supportScott and Graham.-N Orleans

STRANGE PLAYMATE.-A few days
since, lady OF our town narrated to us the
following strange incident, which she de-
rived from near relative, the mother Of Il
bright little boy not quite u year old. The
child VAS one day seated near the edge OF Il
porch, Il tablespoon with which IL alnusc
itself being pllctd inits hand. After short
time the mother happened 10 iool; towards
The babe, and perceived that it was leaning
over tie porch and cautiously extending the
spoon towards the ground, thea suddenly
withdrawing il, VITA hearty laugh each
tine that it drew its hand back. This ma
...rEyJf tho infant repeated frequently; its
mother supposing it 10 be playing with kit
ten, paid no particular attention OFT at
the moment. At length, the child's frequent
bursts Of laughter, and its prolonged enjoy
ment Of the sport in which it was engaged,
induced the mother to approach and look
over its shoulder to see what it was that ex-
cited its glee so much. Great was her hor-
ror and astonshment on observing that the
playmate Of her little boy, during all this
time had been a large and dangerous snake,
which, with its mouth gaped widely open and
Protruding tongue, was coiled up in the a.
tltude peculiar to that reptile when about to
strike, and had been darting at the spoon
Git is supposed in play) each time when ex-
tended toward it. The mirth of the infant
was created by success in bdffling the at
tempt of the reptile to reach its play thing
The alarmed mother not daring to leave the
spot, hurridly called to her husband, who
succeeded in approaching the serpent, and
dispatching gitwith an axe.-Madisoa County

THE IRIsHMEN OF New HAMPsHlRE AMI
THE SHAM DEMocRAcY.-The following doc.
ument comes to us from Mr.. Quinn, of South
Newmarket, N, H., it shows what are the
feelings of Irishmen in that State toward the
Sham Democracy and its candidate: ,-.
"The undersigned having examined the
words on the Journal ofthe Convention con-
Vened Tor the purpose of amending the Con-
stltutlOn OF this State in 1850, cannot findan
instance where Franklin Pierce, during The
debate on the religious test said one word in
favor oil abolishing it, and we therefore fully
substantiate the statements of WIN. r.
Robinson, OF New York, on this poiht;glld
we further say that we defy the whole Dem
ocratic party to show where Franklin Pierce
did, at any time from the the adjournment Of
the Convention IN December, 1850. to
March, 1851, when the vote was taken OH
the adoption of the Constitution, say any
thing in favor Of abolishing slid test, and we
further say that we hold the Democratic par
ty responsible forretainng that odious test.
This is disgrace to our State and country,
and we will use all our political strength a.
gainst them untilth test is removed

full reliance in what they state to be true.

OF Mississippi exhibits unlocked for signs
of Wing victory TO be achieved in Novem-
Der. Several elections to fill vacancies in
the State Legislature, &C., have resulted in
the choice of Wing officers in districts hith-
crto Democratic. So great indeed has been
the. stampede from the Democratic ranks,
that correspondent in Tlppah county,
writing to an eastern paper says;
Don't despair of Mssissippi--at least ten
democrats out of every one hundred refuse
to support Pierce.
Send me all the documents you can get
hold of. 1.-THE Wings do not carry this State
for Scott, they never will"
The vote Of Mississippi stood in lS48:
For Cass, 26,555
For Taylor, 25,S3l
Majority against us in l84S 724
The palpable changes already taken place
in Mississippi will give the State for Scott
by at least ONE THOUSAND MAORI.

informed that the majority Of them voted the

had right to do so. We are also informed
that no German or Irishman, or any other
foreigner, was deprived of his right to vote.
But we are informed that a deaf and dumb

his vote by some prominent Locofoco, be-

AN OLD COPPER MINE.-An old copper
mine of extraordinary richness has recently
been discovered in what is called Hill Vein
in the Lake Superior country. Certain cir
cumstances recently brought to light by its
discovery, indicate thatit was worked long
before the discovery Of America by Coum-
bus. The richness Of the mine may be. i'm
agined from the fact that MIR. 'Mendlebaum,
the manager, in causing it to be explored, had
a mass of copper, which weighed 1880
pounds removed from the surface oil the vein.
There is certainly much mystery connected
with these ancient traces of mining opera
tions, discovered from time to time, in the
copper region of Lake Superior, Detroit

free trade upon Ireland. Read it Sons OF

TELL CHAPMAN TO CRow"-In 1910
when inevitable and overwhelming defeat
stared themin the face, the leaders as last
resort passed the word along their wavering
line, "Crow, Chapman, Crows" and every
Locofoco chicken, from the shrill broken
toned Plaindealer to the Shanghws of the
Globe and Argus, crowed till their throats
were in dangero Of splitting, They crowed,
but the people won, and not vestige Of To-
cofocoism was left 10 mourn the result.
So will it be in 1859. In Ohio the Wings
have gained. fifteen thousand rOteS since last
year. They gain two. and probably three
Congressman; and taking the Congressional
vote as test, the State is Wing. Quaking,
shaking and trembling at the result, the
word is again given, "Crow, Chapman,
crow" and the chickens little and big crow
most Justly. Dispatches are sent from the
Plaindealer Office to all parts of the Union
claiming 10000 to $4,000 locofoco majority
in Ohio, when the returns show but 10000

"Chupman's crow" in l840 was the signal
of overwhelming defeat to the LocofOcos,
and the crow of his imitators in 1859 will

THE NATIONAL ERA--Mr. Corcm.-Dr.
Bailey, the able and dignifed editor of the
Nationrl Era, at Washington, in writing of
"Mr Corwin and the Gardiner claim" says
"The report we regard as complete relu-

win; and rejoice that the miserable charges
against him are reIuted."
That is the evidence of paper, opposed
politically to Mr.. Corwin, and is of far more
weight than all the evidence of all such men
as Olds and Medil in the Union.

| NEGROES AND Charlottesville. Editor:
The Statesman. few days since, felt very
much grieved because some three or four
persons with black blood in them voted in
this CITY, These persons are nearer white
than black, and, by decision made by
the Supreme Court of Ohio, when Governor
Wood was on the bench, and from which he
did not dissent, these persons are entitled to
vote. .
Again. learn from testimony that re-
gard reliable, that portion ofthese persons

of this city. Under the decision of the Su-

AN OLD PATRIOT DETAINED Senate,
DOUGLASS is still stumping for Pierce and
: hlng IN the West. He had made nrrango.
Inents to visit ST. Louis and retail his sian.
ders OF the old patriot and soldier before a
missouri audience, but il having been an-
nounced that Col. BENTON was in the ciiy.
and would hold the Little Giant" I'D be-
tween his thumb and finger to deserved con
tempt, he thought "discreton the better
part OF Valor," and confined his labors for
Cuba and Slavery to the Illinois side Of the
I Mississippi. n
Mr.. DOUGLASS shamelessly continues to
repeat his slanderous misrepresentations of
zen. SCOTS position in regard to the Nat
uralization Law, and 'libels the Conqueror
| ot Mexico in every speech he makes. He
spoke ut Galcna, ILL.,. on the 18th OF Octo-
land stated that sf o'
"Gen Scott was OPPOSED to the NAT
OF ANY FOREIGN
Err, UNI ESS HE HAD SERVED ONE
YEAR IN THE ARMY OR NAVY--that
he had it 50 laid down in his letter of accent
ance Of the whig nomination--that if Gen.
SCOTS views are carried out, NO FOR
ElGNER COULD EVER BECOME A
CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES.
UNLESS HE SHOULD SERVE IN THE
AKMY OR NAVY, and as there were u
bout three hundred thousand foreigners com
ing into the country annually, and the army
OF the United States consisted only of ten
thousand, the vast majority Of the emigrants
coming to this country could NEVER BE
NATURALIZED." - '.ila - tfI
A more deliberate and villainous misrepre-
sontation was never uttered. Just read
WHAT GEN. SCOTT SAYS ON THIS SUBJECT.
In his letter of acceptance, Gen. Scott
says,i elected to the Presidency, he would
"Recommend or approve of a SINGLE
in our Naturalization Laws
suggested by my Military experience. viz:
Giving to all Foreigners the right Of citizen
chip; who shall faithfully serve one wear on
board our ships, or in our land forces, reeu-
lar or volunteer, in time of war, on their re-
ceiving an honorable discharge from SER
vice." -r. .,
The above is the proposition of General
ScoTT, and noble and liberal one it is. aud
which should recommend him to all foreign
ers. lie desires one "single alteration" in
the present Naturalization law, and that is to
make the service of foreigner for one year
III the army or navy of our country, equiva-
lent to residence of foe gears when he is
not in the service. After foreigner has
served the country one year, and pcriled
his life in that service, Gen. ScoTr proposes
to make him a citizen at once, without his
waiting fiveyears and making his declara-
ton otintention two years before he can be-
come citizen.
TO such miserable misrepresentation is
an aspirant for the Presidency driven, to
find cause for defining WINFIELp ScoTT!--
No wonder Gen. CAss spurned the lbeller
from his hospitable board Chre H.ro5d.
