How the Irishman In America Pays
Tribute to England.

When the Celt has crossed the Atlantic, he be-
gins for the first time IN his life to consume the man
aJdctRTes Of Mis country, and indirectly to con-
tribute 10 lis customs We may possibly live to see
the day when the chief product of ireland will be
cattle, and English and Scotch the majority of
her population. The nine or ten millions of
Irish, who by that time viii have settled in the
United States, cannot be less friendly to England,
and nil certainly be MUCH BETTER CUSTOM
ERS 10 her, than they nor are.
We have published this paragraph before, says
the Albany Journal, and we shall publish it
again. We want the Irishmen who vote the To-
cofoco ticket to read it; because in voting for
Pierce they will vote for free trade, and free
trade is what the London Times desires, because
under it American manufactures cannot flourish.
Every lrishman who buys jack-knife or yard
of British broadcloth contributes to the wealth
of England. He puts money into the British
treasury to sustain a standing army and band
of fat and lazy tithemen in Ireland Can
Irshman be true to himself and thus help to sup
port those who are trampling upon the nesS Of
his native country ?-Grand River Eagle.

The dog Rolla belonging to Mr.. Adams. Of GO
.Courtlandt street, on Sunday last performed one
of those heroic deeds of humanity for which the
Newfoundland breed is remarkable An inter
esting little boy, about ten years old, while play
ing near the water at Hoboken, lost his balance
and fell in. The tide sweeps along the shore
there with great rapidity, and the little fellow in
a few moments was carried apparently beyond
the reach of human assistance. The lad it seems
could swim little, but, just as his strength was
giving way, the dog, at short distance from the
spot, quick as thought, dashed through the crowd,
leaped into the water, and in a minute more had
the poy by the collar, secure between his teeth
10 brlng him ashore, back to that particular
place, however, was an impossibility, owing to
the force OF the current; so that the only hone
was to make point of land some distance ahead.
(between Jersey City and Hoboken, and for that
quarter Rolla steered his course, amid the an
plause and excitement of the spectators. On
went the noble animal, brayey buffeting the tide.
and careless of the shouts of applause, all the
while keeping the boys face out of water. He
reached the goal at length with his precious bur-
den, safe and sound, but little faint and fright
ened; and no sooner had he laid him down than
the noble animal sank exhausted on the sand.
He was instantly surrounded by numerous
crowd Of people, who had been eye-witnesses Of
the scene vieing with each other in showing
kindness to the heroic animal that had thus
risked his own life to save that of helpless hu-
man being. Some idea of the labor performed by
the dog may be gathered from the fact that the
entire distance he had to swim is said to be not
less than two miles.--N. Y Express ~..

FOR SCOTT, BOYs, HURRAHi


BY ONE or THE BOYS
The old men all remember
As 'tw were hut yesterday
When Britain sought, on Freedoms soil
Again to plant her sway:
The old men all remember
Who hurled her back again
Twas Winfield Scott, at Chippewa,
II was Scott, at Lundy's Lane!
80 fling for Scott the banner out,
And sing for Scott hurrah;
With him we can the loeos rout,
And win for Chippewal
The young men all remember
Twas not five years ago
Who led our hosts to victory,
And conquered Mexico:
The young men all remember
How Churubusco's field,
And Vera Cruz, and Contreras,
Were made by Scott TO yield
So ding for Scott the banner out,
And sing for Scott hurrah;
With him we can the locos rout,
And win for Chippewa.
The old men and the young mem
With Scott to lead the fight
From hill and dale, from shore and wave,
Will rally and unite:
The old men and the young men
With Scott to lead them on
WIN make the hero of two wars
Their Chief at Washington
SO fling for Scott the banner out,
And siug for Scott hurrah
With him we can the locos rout,
And win for Chippewa.

Rivers and Harbors-The Loc OfOcO Plat
fOrm-Gen. Pierce.

fOrm-Gen. Pierce.
There is one point of practical craftsmanship
upon which the platforms of the two parties are
directly at issue. This point, presentnga ques-
ton of vital Importance to the West, is fully
shown in the following extracts:
Resolved, That the constitution does not confer
upon the general government the power to com
mence and carry on general system of internal
improvements -Locofoco Platform.
SiIM. The constitution vests in Congress the
power to open and repair harbors, and remove
obstructions from navigable rivers, whenever such
improvements are necessary for the common de-
fence, and for the protection and facility of COM
merce with foreign nations, or among the States,
said improvements being, in every instance, ma
tional and general in their character
Wing Platform.
We believe that the candidates of the two par
ties are understood to be entirely committed in
sentiment to the declaration of their several par
ties. That Gen. Scott is an internal improvement
man, his party associations, as well as writings
on several occasions abundantly show: and it is
a matter of public record that Gen. Pierce, dur
ing his whole political life, both spoke and voted
against all appropriations for internal works OF
improvement. In fact, he never voted for an i'm
provement bill of any sort during the whole time
he was in Congress.

A Goldfish, supposed to have wandered from
the fishing grounds, was taken off Monhegan
day OF two since; but, the letters V. X. being
found upon him. it was clear that he belonged to
her Majesty Victoria, and accordingly his captors
let him go. Their conscientious regard for the
rights Of others will be appreciated, when it is
stated that there was no British cruiser in sight.
The fish also bore distinct impression of two
large ears, supposed to be the private mark Of the

Patriots Agree.

At the close Of the revolutionary war, Genera
Washington was urged to assume monarchial
power A majority of the people, and almost
the entire army, would in all probability have nc
quiesced in such movement. IL ambition had
been his ruling motive, the temptation would
have been too powerful to resist but patriotism
prevailed, and he rejected the proposition with
scorn, and Justly rebuked those who made II.
For this and similar acts, the name of Washing
ton will not only live imperishably in the hearts Of
his countrymen, but must increase its life until
il becomes household word, and divinity en-
shrincd in every home Of freemen.
Soon after the capture Of the city Of Mexico
Gen. Scott was urged to usurp supreme power
and become dictator of the empire of the Aztecs
Large sums of money were offered as inducements,
and every assurance Of success made for the at
tempt. We may well suppose that the temptation
was powerful, but patriotism prevailed, and he
answered: Gentlemen, came to take Mexico,
not to let Mexico take me-" Truly, as the good
book says: " He that ruleth his spirit is better
than he that taketh q city"
The same devil that once on mountain made
proffers Of call the kingdoms Of the world and
their glory" and offered crowns and sceptres and
thrones to Washington, directed Scott up into
the mountains Of Mexico, showed all the wealth
and glory of that nation, and offered him its
treasures, power, and grandeur, if he would be-
come its chief He resisted the temptation,
choosing rather to be an humble citizen Of this
nation than the emperor Of another; and for this
exhibition Of pure patriotism his nation viii not
be unmindful The present campaign VIII give
him such an earnest evidence of regard as only he
can secure.-SpyiaqaeLd (IH) LRjoHist.
