Mr.. NEwToN:-We find that our Demo-
cratic friends have appointed us on their
Committee of Vigilance for this county,
They, of course, expect us to be vigilant; in
this they shall not be disappointed, but they
must not think hard of us, if we prefer to be
vigilant for the country, rather than the
Democratic party, and for the brave old pa
triot and soldier, who was vigilant for us
when some of us were in our mothers arms,
rather than the present Yankee Candidate

that Gen. Scott attempts 10 claim all the
honor Of the victories which liave been a
chieved under his command and that il is
only atthis late day, after his nomination for
the Presidency, that he accords TO adopted
citizens the credit due to .heir valor and pa
lriotism. The utter falsity of these charges
is shown by the following remarks made by
him as long ago as May 25th, Is45, in the
city ofNew York, upon the occasion # an
enthusiastic welcome a. the guest Of tie

IRON SMELTED WITH CAMEL Coal IN
JAcKsoN.-The Cincinnati Gazette recently
announced an important experiment as hav-
ing been made at the Buckeye Furnace, in
Milton township, Jackson county:
1t appears that they introduced camel
coal into the furnace, to the extent of three
fourths camel to one.fourth charcoal, and
found a noticeable improvement, both in the
yield and quality of the Pig Metal, with
each addition of camel coal. ..3 .s,...
The metal thus obtained was subsequent
ly tested at the rolling mill, and found to
make superior bar iron. We consider this
novel experiment to be very important
one, and we invite general attention to it,

NORWEGIAN CoLoNY.-Itwas stated brief
u the other day, by telegraph, that "ole
Bull" hadtaken initiatory steps TO become a
rilizrn Of this country. In making his ap-
plicaiiun, he is reported as having said;
81 desire to be deemed worthy Of so great
a privilege, and shall remit no efforts TO mer-
it il. have never sworn allegiance to the
king OF Norway and Sweden, nor to any
other potentate, nor have bowed the knee
to any but my Cod" (poiuting upwards, and
his face beaming with all that he felt within
him. 81 shall value the privilege of citizen
ship above every other earthly object, and
shall endeavor to introduce hundreds Of thou
sands my countrymen to 50 great boon,
thnt they may also feel the great difference
between being a citizen Of this glorious re-
pub'ie,in the full enjoyment ot liberty, and
that state OF existence in which they now
fad themselves.
"A lrcady have thousand Norwegians set
tied within the limits of this commonwealth,
in It's northern part, and hope that before
another year expires, many thousands more
will taste the blessings of liberty in the same
locality. shall not cease my efforts until
my countrymen who wish to emigrate shall
be in the full possession CT their natural
rights. and in the enjoyment of farm in
Pennsylvania"
Potter county, in the northern part Of Penn
sylyania, where Ole Bulls colony is locat1
ed, is not very inviting location so far as
the fertility of the land is concerned, but
the hardy, industrious and temperate Nor
wegians will make garden spot out of it.
Several hundred are already on the spot,
clearing land for the location OF town and
opening roads to it from the nearest town.

A MIsLR's BEQUEsT To QUEEN VICTORIA.
We have already stated that man, who
recently died in England, had bequeathed
half million of pounds sterling to Queen
Victoria. His name was Nield, and the be-
quest CT insists chiefly o. land, scattered in
various couuties. Nield was bnrrister at
law ind dicdain Chelsea, aged 72 years. He
was possessed Of an immense fortune, bat
was of very eccentric and penurious habits
Al the death OF his father, thirty wears since,
he came in TO possession OF about G25O,000;
which sum had not been touched up to the
period OF his death. The deceased was new
or know to wear Il great coat. and would not
allow his dress coat to be brushed, as it
would take off the nap and deteriorate its
value. His appearance and manners led
strangers to imagine that he was in the low
estverge ofpenury, and their compassion
was excited in his behalf, which he never
failed to accept when it led to an exhibition
of their benevolence. For some years be-
fore his death, Mr.. Nield scarcely allowed
himself the common necessaries and com
forts of life, and has left poor old house
keeper, who was with him Tor more thai
twenty-sx years, without the smallest pro
vision or acknowledgment for her protractet
and far from agreeable or remunerative ser.
vices A few days before his death. the de-
ceased told one Of his executors that he had
made most singular will, but as the proper
ty, was his own he had done as he pleased
with it. ..

MORE EyIDEScE- Who are The Britist Al
Hesl-In the London Despatch, Of Scpiem-
Der 5th, we find the following article, which
we commend to the serious attention and
consideration Of every voter:
"The two parties Of the Republic, Whig
and Democrat-that is, Conservative and
Progressive, Proteciionist and Free Trader
appear TO have marshslled their forces. and
selected their candidates for the coming e.
lection. Every Englisbman, Of almost epery
rLdss, rejoices in the expectation Of success
for the Democratic, Progressive, Free-Trade
party"
Friends Of American Industry and Amer
lean Labor, ponder upon these evidences Of
British sympathy for the Frer-Trade party.
The part which Great Britain takes in this
canvass, means something; and if our peo-
Pile, without regardto party names, follow
the advice Of Gen. Jackson and foster and
encourage American Manufacturers, the
"rejoicings" of the English press and Of
English capitalists and Of English mobiles,
will be turned into Lamentations"
GEN. ScoTT's ISFoRsATIos Probably
no man in the Union is better acquainted
with our political and military history or has
better acquaintance with our public men,
than Gen. Scott. At Maysville, after hav-
ing replied to the welcome there and retired,
he was suddenly called out agaiI by the arri-
val of $50 citizens from Ripley, Ohio. In
his reply to this delegation, he paid an eIo-
quent tribute to Major General Brown, after
whom Brown county,in which Ripley is Sit
uated, is called; to General Ripley, from
whom the town gets its name; and to Gen
eral Hamer, who lived in the county
There was an appropriateness in the reply
and an acquaintance with men and things,
which show that those who are well ac-
quainted with Gen. Scott, do not over-esti-
mate his abilities.

THE WoRDs OF PATRIOT Gen. Scott,
at Maysville, said that che did not come a.
mong them as politician, seeking political
preferment, but as an old soldier, engaged in
the discharge of special duty imposed upon
him by the councils of the nation. What
ever services he had rendered his country
were rendered for the love he bore her. The
honor and glory of the Union mad ever been
dear to him, and his highest ambition was to
attain place in the hearts of his country
men,"

FLORIDA INDIANS AT A CONCERT.-Billy
Bowlegs and companions attended the con-
cert of ChFsty's Minstrels, in New York, on
Friday night. AT first they put on the look
of stoical Indifference which they habitually
observe, but as the per formers progressed
from step TO step in their ludicruus exhibition.

til at length Billy Bowlegs and two or three
of his companions broke out into loud
shaw haw," and kept up a laughing accom-
panment until "Polka Burlesque' was in
troduced. This completely destroyed their
gravity, and the whole delegation jumped
up and down and clapped their hands, exhib-
itinga perfect deIifium of delight. AT the
conclusion Of the performances the party
drove off laughing and talking as merrily as
a company of city bucks. Old Abram, par
tcularly, was in the highest spirits, and just
as the coachman cracked his whip, Bowlegs
sung out "fust rate"

was fully sustained by the Ohio Statesman,
aud several other Democratic papers that
endorsed the corrnpt bargain aud sale by
which he was elected to scat in the S'n-

present course must rest upon the shoulders
of those who sanctioned the adulterous u

on the name and character OF the Democrat

that foul blot--we denounced it at the time
as an act oftre ason to the Democratic party.
