A QUESTION PUT AND ANSWERED.


Henry Ciay's opinion Of Scots oonai,aa-
tion.-'ihe Richmond Wing, in a furgid
article on General Scott, asks-s'Are
defenders of the republic Shall they
sit down, covered with the dust and heat
and toll of thirty years battle, and re-
ceive nothing at the hands of the peopIe?''
We will let Henry Clay answer that ques-
ton. No living man could do it better.
In one of his eloquent orations, he said:
LET the public gratitude manifest
itself in just and adequate rewards,
spired poets sing the praises of If militia
sci and the pencil preserve their faithful
images for the qualification of the present
and future generations. Let the Impair
tial historian faithfully record their deeds
of glory and renown, for the admiration
and the imitation OF posterity. l say too,
in the language of a departed sage, 'hcnor
to those who fill the measure Of their
country's glory BM 1t should be oppro-
priafe. eonsiderote honor-such as becomes
its object, and such as freemen, jealous,
cautious, and enlightened freemen, ought
to bestow. If my suffrage IS asked for The

advocates rely for success than blind
and needless enthusiasm for mere military

The DEPTH OF MEANNEss.-Ihe deep
est depth to which political meanness has
ever descended in this country is now
being exhibited by those scurrIlous whig
prints which are baseiy misrepresenting
General Pierce's conduct in Mexico.
On those very attle-fields Of Coatreras
and Churubusco. the = lorv of which these
mendacious political hacks would monopo-
!ize for Gen. Scott-on those very battle
fields, the official dispatches OF General
Scott and General Pillow place ''the gal
liant General PIERCE in the thickest of the
fght--at one time, in the language OF
General Scott, ''under 4 CALLING fire Of
the enemy for three hours;" and this. too.
while General Scott was entirely out OF
harms way. at a safe distance from the
scene of conflict. We do not mention
this latter circumstance as a reproach TO
General Scott Except upon very ex-
traordnarv occasions, a seneral-in chief
has 20 business to be among the bullets.
But the vilany of these persons who assail
some openly and some covertly-the
courage and conduct Of General Pierce 1.
because near the close of the latter of these
two actions his body sank exhausted un-
der in juries received on those very fields,
whilst under the blaze of the enemy S
guns and the leaten rain of his musketry.
he aud bis men were reapipg the last har-
vest of glory for their prudent commander
in chief, cannot fail to excite a disgust
in the hearts of a generous people which
will yet make these sanJers recof with
te errIb!e violence upon their favorite. -

MR. BUTTONS SERMONS.

The following critique on Rev. MIR
Buxton's Sermons is taken from the July
No. Of the Church Review, published at
New Haven: CT:
50 The Rev. Mr. Buxton. the author of
these Sermons. whose sudden aud a f: ictive
death was recorded in our Oct. No. 1851.
was. we think. one of the best specimens
of the Parish Priest which the American
Church has yet furnished. He was Ca
rolinian by brh, and suffered in his ear
Iier years under the benumbing influences
OF that religious apathy, which, from vari-
Gus causes. paraiyzed large portions Of
our Church. His own spiritual necessi-
ties had we'll nigh driven him into per-
manent connection with the Methodists.
The :. Biographical Notices. pretixed to
the sermons aud prepared by Rev. Jarvis
Buxton, his son, leads US to wish it had
been expanded into a more full account OF
his history and character. x
The sermons in this volume, 81 in
number, were evidently written and
preached ''without the remotest view to
publications. for which they are all the
better. written for publication
are too much like hired mourners at a
funeraI-they may be very correctly writ
ten aud printed, but there is an unrealil Y
and hollow heartedness about them which
cannot be mistaken.
MIR Buxton's Sermons are Sc~iptural
Not only are his proofs and illustrations
drawn from the Sacred Page. but the sub
| are from the same source. His sermons
are also direct in their bearing. Ever
dwelling himself among the high and holy
themes of the Gospel Commission, he does
not forget the purposes for which they are
committed to his keeping. Some of his
sermons are among the most earnest and
practical we ever read. Nor does he stop
| sat the outside Of the cup aud the platter. >
His three sermons on the Imprisonment
of Peter that on the .'Barren Fig Trees"
those on 9 Delay in Religion" and the
EE--ffs'-th E--f = Fool show that he knew how to
| apply something else besides soothing
e;noIients for fifteen or twenty minutes,
and then apologize if he seemed to be
little in earnest. His sermons are thorough
ly pervaded by the spirit of the Church:
Mr. Buxton was a straight forward church
man of the Ravenscroft stamp. and vet
throcs hoat this large volume, it will be
difficult to find a parasrap ph to which any
honest churchman will object. In respect
to his style, we judge that a rich and some
what exuberant fancy became chastened
with years into manner simple, bold,
and at times. stirringly y III earnest. There
is eloquence. and it is the eloqucnce of a
glowing heart. kindling under the con-
sciousness Of the nature of its duties.
The volume is worthy proof Of the
affectiopate veneration for the decea sed on
the part Of the parishioners and friends who

WEArHER.-A Pari. astronomer has pub
Iished the results Of twenty years 0bserva-
tons upon the influence Of the moon upon
the weather. From the new moon to the
first quarter it rained during the period Of
twenty years embraced in the calculation)
764 days; from the first quarter to the full
moon it rained 845 days; from. the full
moon to the last quarter it rained 76i DAYS;
and from the las, quarter to the new moon
it rained COG days. So that during the
moons increase there were 1909 r,iuy
days. and during her decrease only l.457
Ia difference Of l52 days. This differ
ence is more likely to have been accideu-
tai than the result Of any natural cause :,
and the conclusion which we derive from
the statement is. that the moon has no in

Gen. CasS on Scott.

The following is an extract from Gen.
Cass' reported speech at New York this
week:
81 desire to repeat here what 1 have
said elsewhere; that if, in this vast assem-
bly,, there is one man who came here ex-
pecting me to abuse either party or can
didate, he is sure to 60 away disappoin-
ted. We have honorable contests enough
with the Whig party, notwithstanding to
abuse. fthree score years and ten, which
| have almost attained, brings with it
many evils, it brings with it, also, right
to give my opinion, and 1 will give it
And that is, that trust no Democrat, dur
ing the whole of this campaign, will resort
to this unworthy mode of warfare. We
are all brethren of the same great family,
and the Wings are just as much interes-
ted in the prosperity of the country as you
are. We are both on board of the same
ship, and must sink or swim together
The Wings have their own articles of po-
litical faith, and so have we. They be-
lieve they are right, and we believe they
are wrong. But allow me to say, m y friends,
that there is terrible propensity to polit-
zeal abuse, in the warm campaigns of this
country; and spectator of the old world,
on looking around at the contending par
ties, and reading the party journals, would
actually think that no man is fit to be a
candidate for the Presidency-unless he
is the greatest rascal to be found in the
country. Well, | have no part or lot in
any such. compact. I k',oao Gen. Scott,
and Ikaa0ao that he as an honorable man,
and that has fought The battles Of his coun-
try, and I hare ha a t,ord TO sag against
him,

A Cool Fellow.

In El Dorado County, California, fel-
low was arrested charged with stealing
horse and mule. He was tried by jury
chosen on the spot, and sentenced to be
hung or shot as he might prefer. He
chose the latter mod eof shuffling off his
mortal coil The California Union saws:
During these proceeding the prisoner
is represented as being the most uncon-
cerned man present, talking with those
around him, and looking upon the whole
affair with the most entire Indifference
After supper he lay down and slept sound
ly until he was awakend by some of those
about, late in the morning. Before being
led out for execution, Hibbard made con-
fesslon, which | have not seen, acknowl-
edging his guilt, and duplicating others
as belonging tothe gang. He stated that
their plan was to steal stock from the en-
igrants as they passed through the valley
AT the appointed hour he was led out,
and after stating to the crowd that he be-
longed to gnod family, and the first in it
ever charged with crime, he was placed in
a position his hands tied; but he refused
to have his eyes bandaged, and directed
the SIX men detailed as executioners to
stand SO near as to make sure work of it.
The men fired at the word-three guns
loaded with balls, and three with blank
cartridges-the three taking effect in the
breast, producing death instantly A
physician present claimed the body for
dissection, on the ground that he had bar I
gained with the man for it before he was
shot, but he only wanted the head,
and if no one objected, he would take
it off, which he proceeded to do with a
large bowie knife-placed it in bag,
slung it on his horse, and marched off with |
it. A shallow grave was then dug, and
the headless trunk tumbled into it. Com
ment on such transactions is unnecessary.
