Grand Agricultural Ball. We are informed thai arrangements are being made for a Grand Agricultural Ball, tobe given at the Maeonic Hall, in Indianapolis, on the evening of the second day of the State Fair October 21st. The preparations in course of perfection are of the most extensive nature ; and we are assured by the managers jimaog whom are our best citizens that no pains will be spared to make it one of the most interesting entertainments of the kind ever given in the West. The music, refreshments, decorations, &c, will be on the most liberal scale. The Hall is known to be the best in the State, and is roomy enough to accommodate all who may desire to attend. This Ball will be the most brilliant one ever given in Indiana, and will be attended by the beauty and fashion of not only the principal cities and towns of Indiana, but by ladies and gentlemen from Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois. As the arrangements progress, notice will be given in the city papers. Judge Douglas. The folio wing, from the Home Journal ol the 1 1th inst., wiil be of interest to our readers just now: "We chanced to catch a glimpse of Senator Douglas known to the universe as the Little Giant of the Democracy (be other evening, as be was addressing a torch-light procession from the balcony of the Metro, pditan Hotel. The Senator, as far as we could judge by the uncertain light across an acre of Democrats, has scarcely reached his fortieth year. He is rather under the avt-rage statare, but stoutly framed. His countenance is ample, full, and ruddy. His hair is dark, and worn snmewbat long behind; but his face, if we remember aright, is innocent of mustache or whisker. He was dressed with the utmost plainness, having, generally, a tough, rough and ready, farmer-like and serviceable air. He speaks with perfect readiness and self-possession, and is evidently nowhere so entirely at home as on the stump. He has an agreeable and effective voice, and gesticulates with grace. Here we turn to Redfield's ''Men of the Time," and learn therefrom, that Mr. Douglas is a Vermonter by birth, and that his career has been eventful. He was once a cabinet-maker's apprentice in his native State. Then be removed, with his mother, to Canandaigua, in New York, where he went to school and studied law. In Illinois, the State which he now represents in the Senate of the United States, he began his career as an auctioneer's clerk. He afterwards kept school awhile, studying law in the evenings and mornings. In 1834, he was admitted to the bar, and soon acquired an extensive practice. He was appointed Attorney General of the State, before he had completed his twenty-second year. In 1835, he was elected to the House of Representatives; in 1837, appointed by President Van Buren to be Registrar in the Land Office; in 1840, Secretary ol State for Illinois , in 1843, elected again to Congress; in 1847, a Senaror; in 1852, a prominent candidate for the Presidency; in 1856 but Mr. Redfield's biography does not extend so far as that. Mr. Donglas was thirtynine years old on the 13th of last April." All the Decency. The Indiana Journal, yesterday morning, in noticing the speech made by Judge Douglas in this city on Monday afternoon, calls him a base and dishonest "grogshop aspirant for the Presidency," and a "mere barroom politician." It is an ancient maxim, and a true ooa, that when a man in a discussion is conscious that ho is on the wrong side, and is losing ground, he immediately flies into a passion, and begins to apply blackguard epithets to his opponent. Our neighbor of the Journal, most be terribly conscious of the badness of his cause, for bis proficiency in the use of low, dirty, blackguard epithets would do honor to the most debased grog-bruiser and bawdy-house bully in the countryDThe Iowa State Gazette, of the 8th inst., publish et the official returns of the recent election in that State. The average Democratic majority on the State ticket is 1,909 being a gain of 558 over the election of 1851, and a gain of 81S over the election of 1850 Henn's (Democrat) majority for Congress in the First District is 1,603; and Cook's (Whig) majority in the Second District is 663. The Democratic majority in the Senate is 9, and in the Honse 17 making the majority on joint ballot 26. rTha Whigs, in order to justify Scott's bigoted Native Americanism, are trying to prove that Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were also Nativisls. This is the most absurd thing we have seen during the present canvass, not excepting General Scott's letter of acceptance ETSince the speech of Judge Donglas the Whigs have got spunky. They are now willing to bet on Massachusetts. That's bragging like men. Massachusetts is safe- and on that they are ready to "back their judgments" with their monev. flOwing to the change made in the cirouits, times of holding Courts, Stc. at the late session of the Legislator, it seems to be generally understood that the next Circuit Court in Marion will be held on the 4th Monday in October. CTWilliam Wallace, Esq., the Whig candidate for Prosecuting Attorney in this circuit, has withdrawn frost the contest This leaves the race between Mr. Riley, the Democratic nominee, and Mr. Brown, a Whig. For the Indiana State Sentloe A Coalition. Under the above name an article eppeared in this morning's Journal, copied from tbe W asbington Telegraph, attempting to show that the British Government are in favor of tbe election of Gen. Pierce, which the writer supposes it a sufficient reason to have all Irishmen vote for Scott. Now, we do not intend to argue this question, but if tbe statements made in the article alluded to, are corvee , we would like the Journal of this city to inform tbe Irish why it is that all or at least nine-tenths of all Englishmen are Whigs, and generally contend that the English Government is the best on earth? When tbe Journal answers tbe above satisfactorily, it shall have more such questions to solve. AN IRISHMAN. Indianapolis, Sept. 13th. 1852. ZTWinfield Scott is one of the most eloquent mn on earth.

Pay Accounts of Gen. Scott. The Indiana Journal, and other small fry Whig sheets, pretend to be very indignant that M Merriwether should have introduced a resolution into the United States Senate, calling for the amounts of public moneys

: paid to Gen. Scott and Gen. Pierce. They think it a very "small business:" though if the accounts of their candidate were all straight and correct, we do not soe how he or the Whig party was to bo injured by n publication of them. By reference to the Congressional Globe for the first session of the tbirtiethJCongress, it will be found that on the 17th of June, 1848, Mr. Cocke, Whig moniber from Tennessee, introduced the following resolution: Resolved, That tbe President of the United State be, and he is hereby requested to inform tins house what amount of public moneys have been respectively paid to Lewis Cass and Zachary Taylor from th time of their first entrance into public service to this time distinguishing between regular and extra pay ; that he also state what amount of extra compensation has been claimed by either, the items composing the same, when flleJ, and when and by whom allowed; if disallowed, when and by whom, and tbe reasons for such disallowance; and whether or not any items so disallowed were subsequently presented for payment; and if allowed, when and by whom " Upon this resolution tbe Louisville Democrat remarks: "When this resolution was introduced by the Whigs, no objection was made or amendments offered on the part of the Democrat, although it was perfectly in their power to have prevented its passage, as it would havo required a vote of two-thirds of the members present to have gotten this resolution before the house, had objection been made. But we repeat it, no objection was made, nor was there any amendments offered calculated to embarrass its passage; on the contrary, the Whigs were permitted to pass tbe resolution in the shape desired by themselves, without a single voice being raised by the Democrats in opposition to its passage, or an effort to change its phraseology. Mr. Polk, the then President of the United States, promptly caused a full and fair response to be made, and tin n the Whig press and Whig stump orators throughout the land raised the hue and cry against Gen. Cass for having, as they charged, received large amounts of extra pav for extra services, and for having drawn pay for two offices at the same time. "This in tbe estimation of Whiggery, wa all right and proper then, since it enabled tbem to me it against a Democratic candidate, but now that Mr. Meriwether has introduced a sin ilar resolution into the Senate, making similar inquiries into the accounts of Generals Scott and Pierce, it becomes entirely a crcy horse of another color. Their ox is gored now, and hence we find Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, offering amendments to Mr. Meriwether's resolution calculated to eml urass its passage, and if passed with such amendments, it would have placed it out of the power of the officers of the government to respond before the adjournment of Congress. But this is not all ; on the contrary, before the response of the President is handed into tbe Senate, we find the small fry. of the Whig press opening upon the Hon. Senator who introduced this resolution, in a tone and spirit which would well become the wolf or hyena. We would ask such worthies bow it comes that a matter which was deemed so proper and important in tho cstimation of all Whiggery. and not objected to by the Dem-

party in 1852?

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. IT, 185.

Giving it Up. The Washington Republic of Thursday 9th inst., contains several letters from Whigs in this State, in relation to their prospects here. One dated Rushville sav?: -'Our State election, coming off in Octorber for State officers, will probably go Democratic- by a small majority; and, if it don't exceed fire thousand, we will pull the Slate up for Scott in November easy. Wright, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is a very popular man, and is our candidate; but the State has gone so largely Democratic for the last ten years, that we can't calculate for oertain on this election." Another one, dated Indianapolis, evidently written by the editor of the State Journal, says: "We shall not probably carry the Slate in October, but look out for a storm in November." Here is another extract, which we find in the Republic of Friday morning: "You must not be discouraged if the State goes Democratic at the October election, for Jo. Wright is unjustly popular, and is running on the Methodist question, and many Democrats will vote for him that will vote fur Scott." The boast about carrying the State in November is all gammon. Tho men who make it, don't believe a word of it. They are merely whistling to keep their courage up. Je. Wright, will be elected by not less than 15,000 majority, and the majority in November will be very little less. The Whig leaders feel and know this to be true, yet, unable to overcome their instincts, they cannot help asserting what they know to be false in reit lion i tho Novmber election. K7"Does the United Stales Marshal desire to purchase a quantity of the life of Scott by E. D. Mansfield, to bo paid for when Pierce is elected? We understand that Mr. Meredith expressed a willingness to make such a purchase a few days since, but unfortunately neglected to make the proper arrangements, and a gentleman who was offering the books on those terms was consequently disappointed in completing a sale to Mr. M. and some oibers, which he thought he bad partially effected. Or does the Editor of the Reveille desiro to purchase the work on the same terms? If ho doos we know a gentleman who will be glad to accommodate him. Or does the respect Mr. Meredith and Mr. Hunt have lor a oertain gentleman, prevent them from making a proper display of their confidence in the success of their candidate for the Presidency? lL7The Journal says that "General Pierce has received from the public treasury $20,373," and "was only in office about one year" in short, that he received 20,373 for one year's sorvioes.

Lane, at the great ratification meeting in Washington, immediately after tho nomination of Gen.

Never since those glorious days have the democracy been so united and presented so unbroken a front as at S resent Tbe 'Young Hickory ,' whom Jackson enorsed as 'the man for tbe democracy without the demagogue,' will go into toe Presidential chair by a majority that will throw into the shade even those that wore rolled up for the 'Old Hickory.'

The Fires are Barning in the Keystone State. The Democratic meeting at Reading on Saturday the 4th inst., was, without doubt, the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of the People that has been witnessed since 1844. Not less than 30,000 persons were present. James Buchanan, the great Pennsylvanian, presided, and the speakers wer Buchanan, Judge Douglas, Gov. Low of Maryland, Hon. C. J. Faulkner of Virginia, Hon. B. F. Hallett of Massachusetts, and other distinguished members of the Democratic party. The Philadelphia Evening Argus, in speaking of this meeting, says: "Defeated in all the South, the Federal Whig party will fall back on the Northern States, and by all tbe means in their power endeavor to give their electoral vote for Scott. This is their only hope, and in this they are desperate. All that money can accomplish all that deception can execute all that dishonesty can perpetrate, will be resorted to in the coming campaign to swerve the old State of Pennsylvania from her faith and bind ber to the car of the Federal Whig ieader and his moneyed followers. Local feelings are appealed to; religious prejudices stimulated; the lovers of inordinate gain pointed to the advent of the Scott administration as the best and only means to reach the goal of their hopes, and all these are expected to swell tho tide that is to float the Federal Whig party to the haven of their hopes. "But to all this scheming on tbe part of the Federal Whigs and their Abolition allies, is opposed the steady, solid phalanx of the Democracy led on by their chosen and tried leaders. The camp fires lighted at Reading will soon blaze from the silver waters of tbe Dek-ware, to the rugged peaks of tbe Alleghenies, and from thence to tbe shores of the Ohio, and from the borders of New York, who will clasp bands with the bold and resolute Democracy of Maryland and their young and eloquent Governor. All over the Commonwealth, the watchword of Pierce and King hat gone forth, and father and son have joined hands in the contest and gone forth to fight at they did to beat back the British and Tories in tbe days of 76. Old Pennsylvania is looked to with gratitude and love for the stand she made last year, the first sword drawn for the compromise measures, and now when she is menaced by the marshaled hosts of the enemy, we have the bold and indomitable Douglas, the logical and fearless Lowe, the gallant and eloquent Bissel I. and a host of others, coming into oar midst to tell us how our struggles are looked upon in other parts of the Union, and bidding us God speed in our fight for the preservation of that Union which cost so much blood and treasure to obtain. Of the termination of tbe contest in Pennsylvania we are not feariul when the Democracy are fully awake to the work that is to bt done. The spirit manifested at Reading tells the troubling of the waters from where the healings of the nation is to come, and shows that the confidence reposed in the iron-hearted Democracy of the Old Keystone will not be abused when the day of trial comes. PENNSYLVANIA IS SURE FOR PIERCE AND KING." "Imposition. "The last Sentinel has drummed up five names in Hancock county, which it speaks of as Whigs coming over to Pierce. A friend writes us the following classification of the Sentinel't con vet ts i " 'One doggery-keeper, two Democrats, one colored man. and one abolitionist !' "Welcome! welcome Mr. Sentinel to suoh accessions." Ma. Editor: Tho above was clipped from the "Cam bridge Reveille" of August 2d, 1852. Tho editor of tbe Reveille, and his Greenfield pousininlaw correspondent like bis satanic majesty shearing hogs, has made a great cry over the asserted reoent conversion of one "William A. Franklin, Esq." of Greenfield, from Democracy to Whiggery, and a couple of others whom they assert havo followed (so far as political changing is concerned) his illustrious example. This William A. Franklin used, when sober, to profess to be a Democrat; when drunk, which he is more than half his time, he has for many years opposed the Democrats, and voted and acted with the Whigs. The Democrats never had any confidence in bim, as he never had any political principles that were not subservient to bis whisky trade. He has been for many years the keeper of one of the very lowest, vilest description of doggery. The Whigs are very welcome to bim he'll make a good bed-fellow for the editor of the Reveille. "Par nobile fratrvm " The Whig party feeding on ncA eon. vertioni will be like the cow that was fed on backwheat t; aw, the more she eat the p-orer she became; the mor $uch convert i they make the worse they will be be ate ,. The other two, whose cards appeared in the Reveille, a short time since, as Democrats converted to Whiggery, both voted for General Taylor in 1848; since which time they have generally voted and acted with the Whig party. To those w'm reside here and are acquainted with the men, the announcement that they ever had been Democrats was quite as surprising as that tbey bad changed their politics. But the idea that they had read and compared the lives of Pierce and Scott, St?., is so extremely ridiculous as to provoke a smile from all. The whole affair was gotten op and written by the Greenfield cousin-in-law correspondent of the "Reville" for the purpose of trying to ridicule T. D. Walpole, Esq., and render some acceptable service to the waning fortunes of poor Whiggery in Hanoook county. 8 OBSERVER. Hancock Cooutt, 8ept. 14, 1852. Did you ever see a Rogue without nn Excuse!

The Whig committee are franking documents to the North, proving Pierce a pro-slavery man, not less devo ted to southern rights than John C. Calhoun. This same honest junto are also franking documents South, showing Pierce an abolitionist and the prince of anti-slavery agitators. Well, say the genuine disciples ol juaoniaveiti, Deing detected, Pierce has two faces, one North and one South, and it is fair to exhibit both to the country. This excuse is as mendacious as tbe act to be excused. The document sent North, professes to finish tbe record, to exhaust the subject, and finds neither word nor act to give aid or comfort to anti-slavery men Un the other hand, tbe document sont South has not a word of the facts and proofs of tht one sent North, and labors to show that Pierce has always been an abolitionist, and nothing else. In fact, the document sent South is as vile a libel as ever issued from the depths of mendacity. Those who use it know it to be a libel, an electioneering effort to impose upon the ill-informed. They are guilty of an act of imposture and charlatanry which ought to brand them as unworthy of credit amongst honest men. If they had their deserts, they would do representing some community in a otate prison; ior ne wno secus place and power by fraud and falsehood, is no better than the felon who gets money upon false pretences. It is well that both these documents don't fall into the hands of the same men. The thousands North and South who read one. will never see the other. The antago nism of the two can only be appreciated by reading both. If one is true the other must be ialse. It is true a man might be inconsistent, but any reader will see that one man cannot be always one way, and always the opposite way. Indeed the intelligent reaoer win see upon . . r .. - i 1 1 reading both these documents, that it ma same man is the author of both, he must be an unscrupulous falsifier. That is a conclusion to which every man of tf nee would come. It would be the verdict of an intelligent jury. One pamphlet or the other is a libel. The committee who circulate both know it. In circulating both, they are impostures and charlatans, and should be so written down. The excuse won't do. It needs an excuse. It will pass with those only who don't see these two documents. No one man can be what the one or the other represents bim. One or the other is a falsehood and a fraud. They both pretend to exhibit the political character of General Pierce on the slavery question, his entire relation to it. Thus one character ascribed to bim is the antagonist of the other, and each pretends to be the whole of it, without any intimation ol any thing else. One or the other is, therefor, a bold unscrupulous imposture, fraud, and falsehood. LouitvUU Democrat. The Yield of Gold. A Banking firm of San Francisco have made an estimate of the yield of gold from tbe mines, which they made from 1848 to tbe 30th Jone, 1852, $174,780.817, and for tho six months to the same period, $33,849,774. Taking the same amount as likely to be yielded in the six months to the close of the present yetr, it would make the year produce $07,700,000. That it will oxd this amount It blivd by many

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 18, 1852. "Courage Boys." The Inuiana Journal in order to keep up its courage we suppose publishes tbe following, capitals, italics, and all, and wants us to "put it in our pipe and smoke it." A Good Sion. A meeting of Democrats, who have never voted a Whig ticket, but who now go for SCOTT and GRAHAM, was held in Hellam township, York county, Penn., on Saturday the ?lst ult. One hundred and twenty democrats wem presont, who raised a pole one hundred and fifty feet high, to which was attached a flag, on which is inscribed in large letters "SCOTT, GRAHAM, AND THE CONSTITUTION." The whole affair was conducted exclusively by the Democrats. Not a Whig was allowed lo participate in it, although a number were present to witness the performance. The above roorback has been already well smoked, as our readers will preceive by the following extracts from a letter written in relation to this very matter on the 21st of last August by Mr. McKinley, an influential and responsible citizen of Harr is burgh. Pa. Now, the facts of the case arc simply these: First, there never were one hundred and twenty Democrats residing in Hellam township; second, there never was any such meeting as the one referred to; third, there are no changes in Hellam township in favor of Scott ; and fourth. Pierce and King will have as large a vote in that township as Gov. Bigler had last October, when he carried the State by a majority of 6,000. The Whigs are so sorely troubled with defection in their own ranks everywhere that they fabricate tbe most ridiculous stories to revive tbe drooping spirits of their friouds.

ITWe find the following paragraph in the Indiana Journal of Thursday morning last. By some strange mistake, the Journal had inserted Gen. Scntt'.s name where Gen Pierce 's should be, and the words ' Democratic" and "Locofoco" where it should have been "Whig." We publish the paragraph corrected: THE SLANDERERS OF GEN. PIERCE. The disgraceful abuse of Get. Pierce, which comprises the capital stock of the Federal Whig editois in this part of the country.it is worthy of remark, finds but little countenance among th more honorable sten of the Whig party who served in a military capacity in tbe Mexican war. It is only the pen and ink valiants, the men who never breasted a battery, or faced a bayonet, who can be found to engage in the dirty work of detraction creatures who wore in safe quarters at home, when Franklin Pierce was leading the legions and bearing aloft the banner of his country mid scenes of death and carnage, which brave men and true patriots only have the (moral and physical courage to encounter. ETCol. Haskell, Whig elector in Tennessee, rebukes the Whig defamers of Gen. Piere- in the following nervous language: "1 would consider myself personally disgraced did I stoop to the humiliating baseness of insinuating cowardice against Gen. Pierce, whom I know to ho a brave man, chivalric in his conduct on the field of battle. Others may pursue that course which their feelings dictate; but as for myself I would spurn the thought did it oStrude itself upon my mind." N. B. The Indiana Journal does not consider itself disgraced when it "stoops to the humiliating baseness of insinuating cowardice against Gen. Pierce.'

The Noblesville True Whig says, that the Whigs there "don't care a fig whether Pierce, Scott, Hale, or, any body else is elected," and feelingly invokes "an avalanche of Politicians political papers and pamphlets," to "glide down on the luke-warm voters of Hamilton county and arouse them from thier lethargy."

Kentucky. We have just returned from the great Democratic Barbecue at Louisville. The day was most unpropitious. But tbe people were there and the enthusiasm was there despite the elements. The Democracy of Indiana wer there by thousands. The following is a hurried account, which we dip from the Louisville Democrat: THE! BARBECUE UNPARALLELED ENTHUSIASM. "Yesterday was tbe day appointed for the Democrat; Barbecue. Early in the morning it began to rain heavily. The committee of arrangements hesitated what to do; some supposing it unreasonable to expect any attendance in such inclement weather, gave out that tbe meeting was postponed. Word to that

effect was dispatched in all directions; but in spite of tbe rain which was incesaant, the crowd began to collect on tbe ground ; the cannon boomed forth its thunder tones, and a band of music played its inspiring strains "About 10 o'clock the glorious Democracy of Indiana, unawed by the showers, marched into the city. The procession was formed amid sluices of rain, and multiplied as it proceeded to the woods. At 12 o'clock the woods were rilled with miles and acres of the moving masses. "Mr. Guthrie began to speak to tbe multitudes that surrounded one of the stands. He was interrupted with shouts and cheers. In a few minutes be introduced Judge Douglas, amidst the wildest enthusiasm. It was impossible, however, for Douglas to speak in tbe rain. Ho has engagements in all parts of the country from tnis to the end of the canvass, and very prudently declined risking what might disable him from fulfilling his engagements. At the same time it was announced that he would speak in the evening at the court boose. ' Mr. Willard, the eloquent and able champion of the Democracy, and now a candidate for tbe office of Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, was called for. He mounted tbe stand, and made a rallying speech to an excited and delighted audience. He stood in tbe rain unsheltered, and a large portion of the crowd lowered tbe oea of umbrellas to have an opportunity of hearing and seeing "Mr. Willard was followed by Mr. Monroe, of Frankfort, in an eloquent address, and by Col. Gorman, of Indiana Tho day could not have been more oapropitious, but the vast multitude stood unbroken for two or three hours, whilst the rain was pouring down in torrents. Indeed, the rain only seemed lo increase rather than diminish tl.o enthusiasm. We owe much to the indomitable Democracy of Indiana for their attendance in such imposing numbers. Their banner, inscribed with "Indiana greets Kentucky; ten thousand majority for Pierce and King," was saluted with the heartiest applause; and the Democratic ship from Charlestown was itself an omen of plain sailing for this canvaso; and a troop of horsemen, each one bearing a hickory bough in his hand, added to the interest and excitement of the occasion. "Few of the multitude, however, could get near enough to hear the speakers, and made their amusement in spite of the rain. Even the dance was not omitted. The gastronomical part attracted least attention ; but, notwithstanding a large portion of the provisions were left uncooked, n ne left dissatisfied; for eating was the smallest part of the object of tho crowd. Take it altogether, it was one of the most remarkable demonstrations of popular feeling we ever witnessed; and we doubt if another such gathering was ever held in this State, kept together in spite of the rain, which continued incessantly Had the day been fair, there is no guessing the magnitude of the meeting. Hundreds who first came upon the ground left, supposing the barbecue was postponed, and thousands were deterred by the inclement wealher. "As it was, tho number was 'such a crowd as is usually reckoned at 15 or 25.000,' and if the day had been pleasant it wonld have been three times the number. For manifestations of enthusiasm, it surpassed any political gathering which has taken place in this State. 'Rest assured the Democracy of Kentucky are fully aroused, and the electornl vote of this State, in spite of all the bragging of the Whigs, will be given to Pierce and King. The masses are in earnest, the Democratic party united, and they will bo victorious. "We had expected the crowd to disperse after taking a partial repast, but as the clouds held up somewhat, the crowd sont for Douglas, and he addressed the roul titude. We need not say he was able and eloquent; he never otherwise Addresses were also delivered by Messrs. Green, Fogle. and Stewart. "At night the crowd at the court bouse was immense. The, large room was full, and as many were in the yard. Douglas spoke in the court house with his usual ability. ' The Democratic party have every reason to be gratified. The elements were unpropitious, but the spirit was there; the spirit destined to w:n "' Geu. Scotts Short Cnt to Citizenship. Geueral Scott's " Americus" bill, drawn in 1844, for enactment by Congress, prorided that after a brief period no foreigner should be permitted to vote, exoept -able-bodied males" of a certain age. who should serve two years in the atmy or navy in time of war. His letter of acceptance pledges him to the same mode of qualifying foreigners for the rights of suffrage and citi. zenship. But nowhere has he indicated the rules and regulations incident to such a scheme. The editor of the Milwaukie Morning News, whose "military experience" do doubt, suggests the modus operandi of naturalizing citizens in this way, supposes that it can be carried out in this way: "1. The matters will be regulated at general headquarters. "2. Such number of officers of the army as may be required will be selected to conduct the business. "3. All foreigners, who are at least six feet high and well proportioned, and who are 'ablebodied, and free from disease, may bo entitled, under certain restrictions, to the right of suffrage. "4. Officers will be very particular to ascertain tho true height of the applicant. "5. Examining surgeons will be in attendance, who will pay particular attention to the examination of applicants. "6. In order to ascertain if they are 'sound in limb and wind,' Stc., they will suffer no man to paso who has not, at his examination, been stripped of all his clothes, to ascertain, as tar as possible, tbat be has perfect use of bis limbs; that he i,as no tubers, nor other infirmity that may render bim unfit for active duty. And it shall be their duty to ascertain, as far as practicable, whether the applicant is subject to fits, tic doloreaux. ice. "7. Immediately after an applicant has been admitted to the army or navy, he shall be placed 'under fire,' or be 'played upon' by cannon, in the field of battle ; and if not killed in two years, he shall be entitled to bis discharge and tu a vote ; if killed before, tbe privilege would be of no avail to him, and his case to be considered as disposed of." Can the Republic inform us whether this would bo about the process of naturalixation if General Scott should be elected, and bi "iotorpolation" into tbo Whig platform bo added, upon his "recommendation," to th naturalixation laws of tbe United States? Washington Union. Hon Walker Brooke, Whig U. S. Senator from Mississippi, and Gen. Scott. We And in the last Lexington Sentinel, a letter from Senator Brooke to Morgan MoAfee, Esq.. in which he reiterated his determination not to support Gen Scott. We annex the following extracts: "Washington, July 16, 1852. Dear Sir: I snatch a few minutea this morning to give you a hurried reply, (though I have not partaken of a hasty plate of soup). Fou vert right in the supposition that I would not support Scott, and I am surprised that any one could doubt my position. You have doubtless before this aeen the card sigaed by Toombs.
