Gr In 1852, when the Wing Convcn-
ton was in session, first came news that
General Scott, who was supposed to DO
a little proud Of display, particularly in
plumage, was nominated for the presidcn-
oy. Then came news that William A.
Graham, Of North Carolina, the land Of
tar, pitch, and turpentinc, was nominated
to the viec-presidoney. When this latter
piece Of intelligence was conveyed to Mr.
Webster he was engaged shaving himself

Lola Montez on the Americans.

Lola is lecturing in England, her chief
theme being America and the Ameri-
cans, In lecture at Liverpool, she
said of u.s.
" Volatile and enthusiastic in their feel
ings, the Americans were easily thrown
into state of universal. fevorish excite
ment, during which they literally wor-
shipped their idols, and as easily relapsed
into a state of calm, in which their indif-
ference was as profound as their enthusi-
assn had been ecstatic. In illustration,
she referred to the reception given in
America to Kossuth, who was afterwards
plunged in such an abyss of infamy and
abuse as no man never rested under be-
fore. Kisses They first made god
Of him, and then converted him into a
demon.
On the laying of the Atlantic cable,
the Americans took to themselves all the
glory there was telegraphic whirlwind
aud the people danced with kind Of
galyanic delight: the ''mighty Cyrus"
laughter was almost deifed, but now
his three days glory was gone The
Americans had moro activity and 60
aheadatvenes laughter and spirit than
the English, who, however, had more
strength and substance. Indeed, the
characteristic of the American was
"speed," whilst that Of the Englishman
was strength" The American was
formidable in attack; the llnglishman
in defense. The Englshman, though
beaten, was still formidable; but beat

The no-capital principle was a poculi-
arity Of America A broken-down trades
man could enter the learned professions
Of law and medicine with three months
fstudy, and be at the head Of his profes.
sion in six months afterwards ~ laughter
and these professions are made up Of
broken down merchants, horse jockeys
prize-fghters, and advonturers. The ele.
ment Of "spoed" entered even into the
religion, which, like everything else
went by steam; its professors travelled
by an express railway train to glory
There was no place in tue world wher'
public opinion was 50 great a tyrant, ant
where an unpopular cause was brandel
with SO much infamy.
Che time Of woman's gaioty in Amer
lea was when she was unmarried. 'But,
said Lola, with suggestive emphasis
"glen the choice is made---Eroars o

happiness She must be submissive t.

The following praiscworthy and touch
ing incident was related of this distin-
guishod officer and statesman, by General
Shields, on the occasion Of the announce
ment Of bis death in the Senate of the
United States. After speaking Of the
conspicuous part which Gen. @. took in
those brilliant exploits that crowned a
succession Of the glorious victories" in
tho valley Of Mexico, he said;
"Nr President, in referring to these OK
citing scenes, there are memories Of the
/ past strange memories-that crowd up
on my mind and threaten to overpowcr
my feelings How can | ever forget the
noble friend who came to the poor, shat
tered hut in which lay wounded, at Ger
70 Gordo, to bid me, as be then supposed
! a last farewell; and who, taking my hand
1 in his said in accents trembling with emo
ton; Ny dear friend, if we never meet
in this life, | will take good care that full
justice shall be done to your reputation 2
The man who did this had a soldiers heart.
Or can | forget the night that followed
the capture Of the city of Mexico, when
tic same kind friend, though exhausted
and worn out with the fatiguos Of the day,
came once moro to my bedside, where !
was suffering from a second wound, and
\ watched over my Troubled sleep with as
much adectionate solcitudo as if / had
beeuhs own son Acts Of kindness such
as these, can never forgot until my
own heart falls to beat and, if | thought
it necessary, / would make the same
1 pledge to bis memory, here intho Senate,
which he made 70 me at Corro Gordo !;
that, to the best Of my ability, ! would
Atry to see full Justice done d bis reputa-
ton But no such pledge 3 necessary.
No American will ever be found to do
injustice to the reputation Of General
Qnitman No, sir; the State in which
he sleeps, the country he loved and served
80 well, history and postcrity will do full
justice to the memory ofone Of Americas
