interest was manifested by them on the

system Of common schools.
The exercises Of the day consisted Of
lectures on the sciences, as follows:
Arithmetic--V. c. knight.
Phonelics-Wm. Wheeler.

EXTENSIVE

A Spaniard named Demasco Pinto was
arrested in New Orleans, on the 26th ult.
for having been engaged in swindling
transactions TO an enormous amount. As
the story runs, Pinto, some months ago,
arrived at Mexico from Spain, and at once
applied to a large commercial house TO
know if any letters had been received by
mail. in which he was interested. On re-.
ceiying a negative answer. he expressed
much surprise, but trusted that the next
teamer would bring them. And by the
next mail letters arrived. by which he was
recommended to credit to almost any
amount. These letters. which have since
turned out to he forged. enabled him to
swindle one house out of $50. 900. and va.
rious other houses in Vera Cruz, Monte.
rey and other cities of large amounts
Pinto commenced operations in Texas,
and from a house in Brownsville he frau.
dulently obtained $4,000, and made for
New Orleans. were he was arrested. II
is supposed ,hat the letters of credit were
forged before he left Spain.

and too little for their honesty, TO bslieve.
that they ever had the slightest, faith in

the motives which led to the nomination Of
Scott, and at the same time TO the repudia.
ton Of the Union "platform," which the
majority Of the convention insisted upon
putting under him.
But we will dwell no longer upon the
causes of the great revolution-upon this

A word for the triumphant democracy,

deavored to treat both candidates, and all
candidates fairly and justly, so shall we
continue to treat them to the end OF the
chapter. To the democratic platform"
as laid down at Baltimore, we have never
taken but a single exception. We are in
favor Of ''internal Improvements" for ma.
tional purposes. And to the platform Of
the wings, we object to n plank only.
We are opposed to a protective tariff.
Of the President elect we have only TO
repeat that he is a man Of excellent abili.
ties; of undoubted patriotism and Of finer
personal manners than any public man
we have known since Mr.. Clay. Cordial,
off hand, digniied and courteous. no wins
the affections ofaIl with whom he holds in
tercourse. In personal popularity he will
excel any o fhis predecessors in the presi.
dental chair. The manner in which his
intimate friends speak of him-as "Frank
Pierce-a good fellow" is a sufficient in.
d~ication of the friendship he inspires.
In appearance he does not look like the
chief Of a great nation. In majesty ofper.
son he is not a Washington or Fillmore.
His figure is slight; his head not large; his
face habitually pale; his eye remarkably
mild, and his figure, although a tride above
the common height, is a little thinner than
the average.
* x x We have no fears for the fu.
ture, and no regrets for the present. except
for the "victims of misplaced confidence"
who followed the plume of the soldier in.
stead Of the orilamme Of principle.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Since the fatal moment of SCOTS nomi.
nation at Baltimore, we have never had
doubt Of his de.eat; but the deluge is more
overwhelming than the most sanguine
democrat predicted or the most timid wing
feared. 1t required only an exercise Of the
simplest arithmetic, with the most ordinary
knowledge Of human nature, to foresee
the inevitable result; and they must be either
very ignorant or very dishonest men, who
have persisted in the contrary opinion.
With twenty-five Of the thirty-one States
already in possession. and with the add.
tional incentive of federal patronage to
stimulate the democracy, what honest rea.
son could possibly be assigned to encour.
age q hope for Gen. Scott? The simple
statement Of the case cried a conviction
Of defeatto the heart Of every candid man.
They who counted on the popularity Of
Scott to overcome the odds against him,
trusted to an element that did not exist, as
the end has sufficiently proved. And so
far as his military character was concern.
ed, that combustible flame went out with
Con. TAYLOR. The drum and the fife drama
would not bear rehearsal. And then the
barren speeches and zig gag travels ofGen.
Scott have lost him votes by hundreds Of
thousands. B~larneying the Irish, with his
affected Glove Of that rich brogus" went
for less than nothing with q class too much
accustomed themselves to 'blarney' not
to see through it. with the sly ejaculation
sis It there you ars?"
And more and worse than all, Gen. Scott
was brought forward supported by a fac.
ton Of the wings. whose motto has bsen to
'rule OF ruin the party. We have too
much respect Tor the sagacity ofthoss men,
