Fcior-citi-ens and gentlemen Of the Scott
Guards We feel ourselves more than fortunate
in being with you at tins time. The dcmonSra-
tons of respect with which we have everywhere
been received since our ARRIVAL III your truly noble
State, have filled our boSonS with feelings OF the
highest delight, aud will ever claim at our hands
the most grateful acknowledgements. J am not
uumindiul OF the place where now stand; know
that i'll land long famous for its orators, its
statesmen and heroes; land of Eden beauty and
the richest soil, and one too from which has sprung
race, gifted, brave and generous. It is not for
me here to attempt to represent Kentucky rs she
is. Her history is replcte with the noble deeds,
and her claims to patriotism have been fully vindi-
Gated by her SONS in the national councils, and i'll
the tented field. Her vast resources OF wealth; her
great agricultural interests; her ARRANGEMENTS III
all the arts of peace, and the retllementS OF civil
lied life; these the better of her great
ness. They proclaim the enterprise and industry
OF her citizens, they bespcak the progress and pros
pcrity of the commonwealth. | have known Ken
uckanS 1T other times and under different c'rcnm-
Stances, :lian those that now SuIroundme. have
witnessed with pride the mighty efforts OF her most
gifted sons in the halls OF the National Congress IN
defence of the Constitution and the Union.

dark shadow hung over the land; and i'll every cXl
gency and III every circumstances, ! have ever
found Kentucky true 10 patriotism, true 10 ralor,
true 10 the Constitution and true to the Union.
God grant that she may long maintain her high and
honOred position in the rank of States. But am
now here with You at your homes and frcSldeS; l

II is a mere accident that l here l came TO
your State in discharge Of official duties My stay

men OF the "Scott Guards" for the high honor you
have done my associates and myself upon this occa-
sioc, tender my most heartfelt thanks thank
You all, fellow citizens for your kind consdera-
ticn.
The General then retired amid the shouts and
applause of the multitude.
Gen. Wool was then called for and delivered Il
handsome and brief address. He referred TO the
history of the country. He had met Kentuckians
on the battle field; he knew Clay, Mckee and
ardin, and many other of her gallant sons, who
fell battling for the corntry's honor. "fI

{ UIThe triumph of the candidate Of the Demo-
ciatic party, brought forward by the men of the
South, will secure, probably forever, the ascendan
cy of Liberal commercial principles, and if Lord
Derby should be next year disposed to take the
American tariff for his model, we have little doubt
that it will serve to the last illusions Of the
protective system from his mind In this respect,
and on this point, we take Gen. Pierce to be fair
representative of the opinions of Mr.. Calhoun, and
such, ralunblc practical ally TO the Commercial
policy Of this eounty.-London Times, july 6.
Ij."We are without information as to the views
of Gen. Pierce on the subject Of cooperation with
England but we cannot say that we feel any ap-
prehension on the point, and shall await the
final election not without share in the confidence
of many friends that il will result well.-London
Leader. = NA,1A' ~ ..--t.
B-seThe election of Gen. Pierce will at any rate
prove that the Democratic majority, whatever may
bet differences, unanimous in their testimo

any government he may form will be one on which
this country may rely for eGeetiai cooperation in
reducing, wherever practicable, existing impedi-

GEN ScorT' Sp EcnEs.-The Boston Transcript
speaks Of the intellectual and literary character Of
Gen. Scotts speeches thus:
ave have looked through these brief addIesSes
in vain to find the defects which some of our CO.
temporaries seem to detect in them. They are such
plain, unstuded remarks as any man might make,
than in the tented field. And yet we are told by
those who know General Scott intimately, that he
is 4 man OF extensive attainments in reading, and
that few of our public men are so generally we'll
informed, or have at their command SO large fund
of facts of utility. We do not believe that the as
sailants of Gen. Scott can harm him by criticizng
his speeches, for ninety nine men out of hundred
will say: al could have done no b:tter myself
probably not so well.''

qTThe New Yoyk Tribune examines the charge
of the Democratic papers that Gen. Scott has taken
TO the stump, and says ne has only paused at natu-
raj intervals in his Western trip, as he did on his
,riumphal way from the Canada frontier to Wash
ington, after the battle of Lundys Lane or on his
return from that frontier, in 1887 or OH his way to
the North Eastern boundary; or in 1S4S, when he
returned to the U. S., as the conqueIor OF Mexico,
hailed by the people at every step. The Tribune
gays if he is on the stump now he was then, and
has been since the glorious campaign on the Mag
ara frontier for the people will hail his name as
household word, wherever he goes.
