"Thc Fires burn Brightly"

We see by our exchanges tina. large
and enthusiastic Scott meetings have
been held in the river counties COM
mencing at Keokuk and extending as far
North as Dubuque, which have been ad-
dressed by ex-Gov. BEBB, of Illinois,
our fellow-citizen j. III. ID. STREET, and
other distinguished speakers.
From what we learn of the Northern
anu river counties, they will be right
side up in November; and if the Des
Moines Valley. bu. does it duty, Iowa
will certainly cast her electoral vote for
SCOTT and GRAHAM. We regret that
our friend STREET cannot canvass the
Des Moines and Western counties.

The Pierce organ for the State of Vir-
GINA, the Richmond Examiner, made
the following declaration, after the pass
age of the late Harbor and River Bill:
"But we have one consolation. This
bill is the first OF the sort that has pass
ed for long time, AND 1T WILL BE THE
LAST FOR FOUR YEARS AT LEAST. A strict
construction of the Constitution is the
Median law of the Democratic party,
and Mr.. PIERCE, besides that general
reason, is BOUND by every idea of
CONSISTENCY, AND BY EVERY FACT
OF HIS CAREER, TO VETO every bill
like this. He WILL DO III if they
are presented to him, just SO surely as
there is a sun in the sky"

The R0ullderS.

We had hoped TO hear before this
from the Central Committee in reference
to clearing out the River, in accordance
with the repor. of the committee to ex-
anime it, contained in our paper last
week. Cannot something be done in
this behalf now. 1t seems a pity to
lose the benefit of this low water, from
want of the trifling sum Of $4,000,
estimated by the committee TO be suffi-
cient for the purpose. The examination
it is true will be valuable in apprising
the public of the amount and character
of the distractions, and the probable ex-
pense of clearing them out; but i. was
not designed to stop there. We think
it is matter of sufficient pecuniary i'm
portance to justify the community, along
the river, in turning out en- masse and
accomplishing the object by voluntary
and united labor. This, however, will
hardl" be done. The central committee
may however have plan digested, and
we hope to hear from them soon.

Irishmen ON the stump for scott.

Der of eloquent Irishmen have taken the
stump as a champions for Gen. Scott.
Mr.. Gibbons of Southern Ohio; Robi.
son, of New York; James Egan. OF
Boston, Professor Fitzgerald, &C., &c.,
are eloquently urging the claims OF the
war worn veteran, upon the attention of
their countrymen.
Professor Fitzgerald recently address.
ed large assemblage Of his countrymen,
at Cleveland. The Herald has the fol-
lowing notice of him:
"A graduate of Dublin University, his
literary at,ainments gave him an eminent
position. AS Reporter in Parliament
tor many years, he could not fail to be
conversani with the politics of England
and Ireland. An Irishman by birth, and
a patriot by nature, he deeply sympathi-
sed with o Brien, Meagher, and other
compatriois.
"Landing upon new, though hosrit.
able shore, working man as he was, he
sought an independent livelihood from
his own exeruons, and as reporter went
TO West Point to report the examination
of Cadets, &c. There he became per-
sonally acquainted with General Scott,
and learned 10 appreciate his patriotism,
his manliness, his love Of country, and
his regard for the rights of American cit
liens, native o. adopted.
"His speech was eloquent, argument.
alive, convincing; and every point told
upon his hearers, who responded with
cheers loud and hearty. The day has
gone by when the Irishmen Of Cleveland
can be fooled by the heartless, and un-
meaning professions of the sham Dem
ocracy, and nine out of ten of them will
vote for Winfield Scott, the man who at
the peril of his own lie, when prison.
err, told the English captain that for eve
ry Irish prisoner he executed, an Eng
lishman should swing from the gallows.
"During the address of Professor
Fitzgerald, the hall rang again and again
with enthusiastic cheers, and his speech
has, like Bragg's artillery, made chasm
through the Locofoco ranks, which ITS
fainting cohorts cannot close up

nomination Of Gen. Scott, brings US the

Cured in stage coach in Illinois. A
Wing and Democrat had been discussing
the Free Trade question until both got
pretty warm, when the Wing became
satisfied that his opponent was an obsii-
nate fellow, who would not be convinced
of his error, and put an end to the dis
pute by proposing vote on the Presl-
dency. "Genllemen," said the Wing,
You who are Wings will say "aye,"
and you who are Democrats will say
"no." STOP says the Democrat,
"that's not the way to put il. You must
take the vote as between Scott and
Pierce, for I'm Democrat, but I'm 60
ing for Scott; my neighbor, here, is a
Democrat, and he's going for Scott too;

section, not 10 make IL party ques-

that the vote of ths. stage-load was UNI

Gen. SCOTS Religious Opinions.

Mr.. Baillache, editor of the Alton
Telegraph, recently paid vis. TO Gen.
eral Scott. He thus speaks of the in
terview:
"On Saturday morning according TO
previous appointment, Judge Baker and
myself proceeded to pay our respects TO
such Of the public functionaries as we
had no. previously been able to SEE
Our first call was on the veteran Gen.
Scott, the nominated Wing candidate for
the next Presidency, whom we found at
Headquarters. His striking military air.
and commanding person, have been SO
often described, and are so familiar to ey-
cry one, that neeG not allude to his APP
pearance any further ,han TO remark, that
he now seems more robust than he did
when first saw him yearly. nine Years
since. We found him immersed in bus
mess plainly alfred in citizens dress;
and were received with great cordially
and kindness. Instead of being, as
some of his opponents have represented,
distant and ausiere, he displayed, during
the half hoir which we spent with him,
all the frankness Of gallan, soldier,
and the urbanity of an accomplishe !
gentleman. In the course of free and
unreserved conversation we held with
him, on various iorics, the subject Of re-
ligion happened to be introduced; when
he observed tina. in his opinion, the rel:-
gious views Of candidate for Office,
should not be suffered TO operate either
for, or against him; but that, as religion
is the only sure foundation of true NOR
ali.y, it is highly desirable tina. all public
funciionaries should be pious men. He
further remarked, that his parents were
members of the Protestant Episcopal
church; that he was born, baplised, and
confirmed, according to the rights Of
that Church, and still remained attached
to it; but that he, could fellowship all
Christians, without, regard to denomina-
tional distinctions, and believed that re-
ligion was matter lying exclusively be-
tween every man and his Maker, with
which no other person had any right to
interfere, either directly or indirectly
His remarks upon this point, as well as
on all others referred to in the course of
the conversation, we're exceedingly sp-
propriate, and well expressed; and we
took our leave of tue great chief, with
our former high respec: for the man and
his character, highly increased.
