Gen. Scott and the President. The bitterness, the meanness, manfested by President Pierce towards Gen. Scott, relative to his back pay, indicate a narrowness anddiminutiveness of soul which prove tion and opposition him to be utterly destitute of those qualities which show and adorn the character of the Chief Justice of this great country. "Wo understand," pays tlio New York Times, "that notwithstanding the decision of Mr. Cashing, in relation to Gen. Scott's back pay, the Secretary of war, backed by

all rations and all increase of tcrnee, wlierc-

by the veteran-s claim is reduce: to about

one fourth of what Congress designed to give him." "There is now, consequently, no redress except in the liberality of that body and we learn, that on no consider

How disgraceful? Congress alio'.red to Gen. Scott nothing but his just dues—pay

the good to our common country as Gon.

Scott has alone accomplished, and yet by art and intrigue, and hatred of the noble

old General, they attempt to thwart the wishes of the people and orders of Congress, and thus cheat him of his just rewards. We cannot believe that the people, or that Congress will permit these officials thus to trample upon the individual rights of our country's benefactors, and elude by artful intrigue the express laws of Congress. The stern rebuke of an outraged Oongijess and an indignant people should

be visited upon their guilty heads.

The fumes of whiskey may for a time rise from the opposing party and check their progress, but they have taken strong hold of the great American heart,- and will yet govern and guide the destinies of onr country. Foreign despots may seek'by their spies and emissaries to overthrow our Government— they may lay artfully their plans of intrigue and seduce many of our native citizens

into their support, but failure will await Hheui, and defeat is already written upon their skirts. They have been weighed in

We presume there is not another individual in our county or State who would publish a falsehood so base and malignant as that contained in the Review.

He has acted with th^avowed advocates of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors he has marched beneath the whiskey banner—fought upon the whisky platform, and now attempts to throw the dark and damning guilt of his own vile conduct upon others. But in this he

JUST Col. S. C. WILI.80N, thinks wo misrepresented him in our notice of the Dedication of the Odd Fellows' Hall, in stating that "he defended secrect Societies with great animation. The Col. says his remarks were intended as applicable alone to Odd Fellowship—that families, Odd Fellows, and ndl well regulated Institutions had their secrets. We aie at all times unwilling to misrepresent any one, and therefore most cheerfully give the Col.'s own explanation.

But taking his own version we cannot

see in what the misrepresents ion consisted. If all families, Odd Fellows, Masons,

Societies and various Institutions are right in having secrets, then surely the Col was right in defending them. The objection, no doubt, arises from the fact that the remark in the Journal might lead to the inference that his defence embraced all secret Societies, and especially those generally

called Know Nothings—whom ho has denounced with so much bitterness. Now the right of the Know Nothings to their secrets is, as we think, fully equal to that of the Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance, Templars, Soc Nix, or old liners, whose secrets are as littlo known as arc those of the K. N.'s. To allow one portion of our

citizens the right of secrecy in their organization and deny it to another portion, is nothing more nor less than tyranny. The principles of the K* N.'s are as well, yea,

far bette? known than those of the Old Liners. Their objects are as fully understood, and their plans are no more secret, nor are they ha'!'so corrupt, as the old liners and we doubt not thoy will continue to ex

ercise their light in spite of all denuncia-

f£3T The liquor dealers in New York have made regular State nominations. A meeting of the City liquor dealers was held a few evenings since in the Odd Fellows'

Hall, and agreed not to make City nominations, but resolved to support the State

ticket. Do not the old line leaders of this State sympathise with this party, and hope for its success? That the mass ot them do,

cannot be doubted. Since writing the above wa learn that the liquor dealers, old liners and all have been badly beaten.

Speech of Archbishop Hughes.

lie Endorses Pierce and Gives his Opinion of Know Kothiugism.

We invite tho attention of those Old Liners who have been so much horrified at the imagined interference of Methodist Ministers with polities to the following report of Archbishop Hughes' endorsemet of the Pierce administration, and his hits at the American party. The miserable, imbecile, contemptible Pierce administration, is now condemned by three-fourths of tho very party that placed it in power. Few men of any party have such hardihood as to endorse* this administration, yet here we have an Archbishop in the Catholic Church giving it his undivided approval. He was nroud to say there was no uround of reproach against, Mr I'ieioi. .aqaintl the party with which he «uti Archoihop Ilughes has a perfect right to express his opinions, but if a Protectant minister was to half as emphatically end'trse tne American party, he would be persecuted to the death by tho Old Line Democratic speakers and writers.

Lawrence O'Brien pre.-dding. Archbishop Hughes responding io the toast—"The President of the United States." We quote from his remarks, as reported by the Newfoundler of Sept. 17th, the following passage, which will command much attention:—Richmond Palladium. "Tho distinguished individnal who now o-'cupies tho position of the Chief Magistrate of the American nation is worthy of the office he fills. He had the honor of knowing him, and he teas proud to say that there was no ground for reproach against him, or against the party with whom he arts. He adheres to the general, universal, impartial principal of freedom on wJiich the constitution of a nation ptofesses to bo based. (Tremendious cheering.) He (the Archbishop) was well aware that parchment constitutions are of little avail, unless the principles of them are written in the human heart and in the United States the principles of tho Constitution are in the hearts of the people. (Cheers.) Class legislation will not be tolerated there (loud and prolonged chcering)and if an attempt should be made to carry out such legislation—if even a law should be carried in Congress with such an object, he had confidence in the President that he would refuse his signature to it. As an American, and pleased as he was at the warm reception which had been given this evening to the name of the President of the U. S. and to the nation itself, ho might, he thought, without any impropriety indulge in a little self glorification. (Laughter.) However, he would not do so especially as he should have to speak of proceedings which had been lately had there, and which were disgraceful to it. But it should be observed, that, whatever faults t|jo Americans may hate, it would not be right to take the conduct ami proceedings of certain classes or parties as indicating the tone of public feeling in tho nation. One might be led to believe, from the tone and writings of some of the newspapers, that there was a revulsion in the feelings of the people, and that they would rejoice to see all of us, Catholics, walking out from among them. That, however, would be a great mistake. Ihey would be very sorry to see us go. (Loud cheers.) They are not so forgetful or regardless oi tho national interests as to desire such an event, for they have wise and able statesmen among tliem. Besides, they do net forget that they themselves are the offspring of emigration. Their ancestors were not of the aborginal tribes who swayed it over the soil ere emigration began, but they were emigrants. So they do not wish for separation: they would be soroy to see us leave them. And, continued his grace, 1 tell yon this we have not tho least notion of going. (Laughter and cheers.) And I further tell you that if they have any with for a separation, let them puclc -up as quickly as they can and go. (Roars of laughter and immense cheering, which continued for several minutes, and in the midst of which his Grar resumed his seat.)

liOiiisville Cattle Market. LouisVILLE, TUESDAY, Nov. G, 1855. Tho cattle market has been glutted for the last two weeks and prices have gone down a little owing the warm weather, packers have bought but little, only at reduced prices.- Sales to city butchers at 3^@4c gross for choice out of extra lots $3,30 $ 100 lb for fair to good, and 2% to 2-fc'for common. Packers are paying 2$ to 3^ in lots for heavy cattle.

Hoos—Are selling 6|@6c lb gross. Demand fair.

Whispering in the Ear of tho South. yVe commend to the attention of the old liners of Indiana, the 'fdllowing extract from the Buffalo Republican, an old line p.Tper of New York. When the brethren in Indiana can endorse the doctrine here Self out, we will be glad to welcome them into tho Republican church "One of the most encouraging signs of the times is the unmistakable evidence which the pro-slavery presses at the North exhibit of a returning sense of duty to justice and humanity. It is gratifying to know that tho pressure of public opinion is becoming irresistiblo, and that the apologists for slavery aggressions and Kansas outrages, are gradually yielding to its force.

We regard this retrogade movement on their part, as the harbinger of better days for freedom and, as an evidence of a determination which shall make tho Noi thcrn sentiment at least respected South of Mason and Dixon's line. When the day arrives that the North shall present a united and vigorous front to oppose the encroachments of the slave power, and when the advocates of that peculiar institution shall look in vain for aid and comfort from among the pretended friends of freedom at the North, this bullying, brow-boating, and disunion-urging policy, with which the South has so long coerced the representatives from the free States, will cease, and the value of the Union, against which they now so idly rail, will bo for the first time, duly appreciated.

We never shall put an end to sectional differences on the slavery question, until the question is fully settled by united action at the North and slavery, once for all, declared a local institution, and freedom recognized as the national institution, with a pre-emptive right in the settlement of all new territory."

Such a nu

an Indiana old line)-, would damn him to eternal infamy. They dare do nothing here but cringe and knuckle down and crawl at the feet of the men who, by the most infamous violation of public faith on the records of history, have robbed them of their rights*. They dare not say that their souls are their own, in the presence of the men who first betrayed them, and now drive them, 1 ike cattle to the shambles, to bo sold out to the first huckstering politician who needs their vote and support.

The above paragraph has demonstrated the fact, that even an old liner in New York, may be kicked by a slaveholder, until he will resent the insult—that the sense of shame has not been wholiv eradicated by years of subserviency of the most degrading character. Nothing but a calm, open, full, expression, that we will not be defrauded and insulted, in or out of Congress. will secure the free States a proper respect. They desire to make no encroachments on tho s!ave States they will never suffer any upon themselves.—Indianapolis Rejmllican.

Brig'ha:n Young Speaking,

BNIGIIA.M YOUNO is still "abroad" in Utah. In a late speech, the Holy Prophet talks to his saintly hearers after this wise: "Up to this time we have carried the world on our backs. Joseph (Joe Smith) did it in his day, besides carrying the whole people, and now all this is upon ray back, with my family 96 wives and 221 children to provide for at the time, and we will carry it all and bear off the same Kingdom of God. And, you may pile on State after State, and kingdom after kingdom, and all hell on top, and we will roll on the kingdom of our God, gather out the seed of Abraham, build the citics and temples of Zion, and establish the Kingdom of God to bear rule over the earth, and let the oppressed go free. I have never yet talked so rough in these mountains as I did in tho United States when they killed Joseph.— I there said coldly aloud, "If ever a man should lay his hand on me, and say, (on account of my religion) you are my prisoner,' the Lord Almeghty helping me, I would send that man to hell across lots.— I feel so mow. Let tho robbers keep their hands off of me, or I will send them where they belong lam always prepared for such an emergency."

On Friday last, our sister town of Charleston, was thrown into a high state of excitement, by a tragedy as distressing as it is terrible. The facts as we understand them from gentlornen, who heard the axamining testimony, are these:

Mr. Monroe, was immediately committed to jail, and will there remain, until his trial takes place, should his victim not recover.

From a gentleman who reached this city on yesterday, direct from Kansas, wa learn that on-the day of the late Free State election, a body of four hundred armed men, from Missouri, approached the town of Lawrence, with the avowed purpose of destroying the printing offices of the'lribune and the Herald of freedom, and of tasmg possession of tho place. When they had arrived within a short distance of the town, they were met by a pro-slavery gentleman from Lawrence, who informed the ruffiians that tho Free State men were prepared for them—that they wore arilie! with two oi three hundred of Sharp's rifles, that tnoy were determined to fight desperately ioi" their homes and their rights.
