The Weekly Indiana State Sentinel, 03-TO SINGLE XßSCKIBEKS.-Cö IS ONLY ONE DOLLAR 1 TEAR! Eleven Copies for Ten Dollars!! TO BE PAID IX ADVANCE IN ALL CASES. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER tl, 18 52. Democrats stand to your Arms! We have achieved a glorious victory over a most unscrupulous and vindictive opposition. We have appalled the Scottites by the magnitude of the grand result. Oar triumph has cheered the hearts of our Democratic breth ren in every State in the Union. Well and nobly have the Democracy done their duty They have the applause of their brethren every where. But titey must not cease their exertions, or pause to celebrate their first victory until the great battle is won. The work is only half done. We have '-scotched the snake, not killed it." We must now close our columns and advance to the shock. Every Democrat knows his duty. Oa the election day he will do it. The question is not whether the State will vote for Pierce and King ; but thn question is, shall Indiana be the Banner State of the Union? By energy and activity the Democracy can make it so. On the third of November, the day after the great contest, let the wide-mouthed cannon proclaim our triumph. Let bonfires blaze from every hill. Every Democrat in Indiana is appointed a committee of vigilance. "One fire more along the whole line and the day is ours!" Voter-, at the Presidential Election. The mode and manner of appointing or electing electors uodor the Constitution of the United States, is left to the descretion of the respective States. The qualifications of the voters in Indiana is defined by law as follows : Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana. That the qualified electors of the State, shall on Tuesday following the first Monday in November, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, and on Tuesday following the first Monday in November in every fourth year thereafter, elect electors of President and Tie President of the United States which election hall in ,t!l respects, bo governed by the law regulating enerl 1 1. ctions." "The qualified eleettr" is the language of the statute. All persons qualified to vote for c rate officers are qualified to vote for electors f r President and Vice President. The foreign born citizen, who makes his declaration of intention, and possesses the qualifications to vote at the State election, is -v leal voter for Presidential electors. Entries at the Fair.

The number of entries 1363 indicates over 1,000 Petitors. A large number oi persons were in attendall day yesterday, and a still larger number is exto be present to-day. We shall to-morrow notice at length a number cf articles on exhibition. jy On election day Nicholas McCarty voted and immediately went home to attend to his business, while Jo. Wright peddled tHkets all day at 'the polls. Indiana Journal wm.. Still sore. The Journal grumbles and growls. Governor Wright had been absent, engaged in the canvass, during the summer. He remained on the ground most of the day to meet his friends, but not to peddle tickets. He was with his friends, congratulating them on the prospect of twenty thousand majority in Indiana. It was the most natural thing in the world that Mr. McCarty should return to bis home. Tbc snn of Whiggery was overcast every thing looked gloomy. tyThe New Albany Tribune charges that five hundred votes were imported irto New Albany. We admit that we were astonished at the large vote given in that eity 2160 when Madison only gave a little over 2340, and Indianapolis only 2363. Deducting the five hundred votes importe:) into New Albany, it would leave 1760 votes for the city proper which would about correspond with the pop elation, as compared with Madison aad Indianapolis. We admit that on paper, Gregg makes a fair show to sustain his charge. IT Where is tbe hospital to be located' Can Gen. eettteil

A Few Spoonsful of Soup. SCOTT ON THE DISTRIBUTION BILL, la a letter written by Genera! Sco;t. dated October 25, 1341, he says: " If I'd had the honor of a vote on the occasion, it would have been in favor of the land distribution bill." SCOT! ON A UNITED STATES BANK. In the same letter he says: "I have long been under a conviction, that in peace, as in war, something efficient, in the nature of a Bank of the United States, is not only necessary and proper, bat iadispeneible to the successful operations of the treasury, as well as to many of the wants of our commerce and currency." SCOTT ON THE BANKRUPT LAW. In the same letter he says. " If I'd the honor to vote on the occasion, it would have been in favor of the Bankrupt bill." SCOTT ON NATIVE AMERICANISM In a letter dated November 10, 1841, he sayi: " I now hesitate between extending the period of residence before naturalization, and n total repeal of all acts of Congress on the subject my mind inclines to the latter." SCOTT ON ABOLITIONISM. In a letter written February 9. 1843, he says: u I suppose I scarcely need say, that in my opinion Congress has no color of authority tinder the Constitution tor touching the relation of master and slave within a State. I hold the opposite opinion in respect to the District of Columbia." " I have from the first been of the opinion that Congress was bound by the Constitution to receive, to refer, and to report upon petitions relating to domestic slavery.'' " Bu I am persuaded that it is a KgB mo il obligation of masters and slavchulding St'ites to employ all means, not incompatible with the sa.ety of both colors, to meliorate slavery, even te extermination."

We askfour readers to lay the paper bv and compare it wilh'the resnlt. Ohio. The Dayton Empire of Monday evening, in publishing the returns, says: "By comparing tbc vote of this tall with that of the Cass vote in 1848, it will be seen that in flic aggregate they vary but very little. "The strong holds of the Whigs are all in, and wo feel confident the counties yet to bo beard from, will run our majority up to at least eighteen thousand." Gibbons, the Whi? Stamper A Nice Rogue at Large! The Whigs have engaged a fellow named Gibbons, an Irishman, to stump the State for them, and retail their slanders against Gen. Pierce. His countrymen here have put us in possession of a piece of bis history. He was formerly employed in a tannery in this city, and decimped with three hundred dollars belonging to a widow lady, to whom he was under uromise of marriage. This fact can be substantiated by any amount of witnes ses at tuis city, well acquainted with the circumstance, and cannot be denied by any one. It seems, he has now turned out a Whig stumper. A fit tool, indeed, to do the dirty woik oi that party! At a recent Whig meeting at Springfield, where Gibbo.vs was letting off his usual tirade of s!ang against Gen. Pierce, Mr. Howaid, a Catholic Clergyman, , uu iMinirij n icuuiuiui iijis cuy, was present, inr. Howard xoew tue iellow well while here, and altar . , , , , - - w -g" im ... i...

This Gibbons is a glorious yoke fellow for Fitzoxbald, the Irish Tory reporter for the London Press. While they are choice instruments for the Whig party to use, they belie the sentiments, and dishonor the great mass of their countrymen in America. Tifin Advertiser. Postage Stamp Envelopes.

We only wonder that any man of sense can now be so j crazy as to contend for the superiority of Gen. Scott's ! qualiboations lor f resident. We venture to say, that no country Justice could be scared up, who could not make a more respectable speech than his We shall believe, before long, the assertion of Mr. Greeley In 1840, that "General Scott is avain, conceited coxcomb, with more epaulettes than brains." He says he is traveling for the purpose of selecting a site for a Military Hospital ; from present indications, Scott ought to be the firt candidate for admission!" General Scott's Visit. It is suggested that the object of General Scott's visit (independent of his electioneering eff rts) is to secure ao asylum for the crippled and homeless coons, whioh are expected to be in abundance next spring. Old Chippewa was too cunnning to lose bis own burrow or to give up one office, upon the gloomy and uncertain prospect of getting another. He goes upon the old adage, that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bash.'' Or perhaps he don't intend to resign at all, and if be should be elected President will claim bis salary as President and Major General too. This would be no worse than asking a pension as a disabled officer, while be was receiving loll pay as fit for duty which he has already done Bait. Arigue.

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1852.

The State Fair. It is supposed that fifty thousand persons visited the Fair yesterday. The ground was thronged the whole day, and strangers were constantly arriving. The articles on exhibition are very numerous and varied, and, of course of the very best quality. Among the Cattle, the most numerous specimens are the thorough bred short horns, there being 48 entries of these alone. Prominent among these are the two cows and the yearling heifer of Mr. Hutcbcraft of Kentucky, and the bull "Earl of Seaham" belonging to Mr. Dennis, the Superintendent, which have heretofore been noticed in our paper. "Oregon," a white Durham, also from Wayne county, is a splendid animal, probably fully equal to the "Earl of Seaham." "Gold Coin," a son of "Oregon," and 'Boston," belonging to Mr. Dunc-m. of Clarke connty, Ky., are also very fine animals Mr. Smith, of Hendricks county, and Mr. Dmly, of Wayne, and several other persons whose names wo could not learn, also exhibited some very fine shorthorns. The most beautiful cattle on the ground, however, in our opinion, are the Dvons. There are about a dozen of these, and they attract considerable attention. Wo believe they belong to Mr. Collins, of Hamilton county, and to Mr. Kenyon, of Wayne county. A number of very fine oxen and steers are present. One steer is nearly six feet high, and is said to weigh nec.ly 2.000 pounds, although be is far from being fat. We did not learn who is his owner. Mr. Downing has a large number of Merino bucks, from New York. They are for sale, and are said by judges to be ol a superior quality. There are also a few Cotswold and Leicester sheep, which are fino animals. A number of very large hogs are on exhibition, though the variety is not so great, nor the stock so good as might be looked for in a State which raises so much pork as Indiana does. Next to the Cattle, the Horses make the best show. We found it, however, extremely difficult to learn anything about them, as, in but very few instances, did we find any one at the stalls who could give information concerning them. Mr. Reeves, of Putnam county, has a fine bay stallion "Sir Archie Ranger," two years old ; and "Boxer Whip," belonging to Mr. Levi Cook, of Hamiltoe county, is also a fine animal. The poultry makes a considerable show. Among the chicken are the Poland, Bantam, and Shanghae varieties; there are Muscovy and Poland ducks, wild geese, some large turkies, and a few very beautiful pigeons and doves. "Mechanic's Hall" contains a fine display of machinery and farming implements. Prominent among all are tho scales from Duryce St Co.'s manufactory, in Rochester, New York. There are any quantity of threshing machines, reapers, plows, corn planters, corn shelters, straw cutters, 8tc , &c. Among the reapers, we are inclined to give the palm to Dinsraore's self-raking reaper Gatling's Wheat Drill receives considerable commendation. There are i.ome beautiful specimens el Carriages and Buggies. A Carriage by Messrs. W. P. & A. Applegate, of Connersville, and a Buggy by H. R. Gaston, of this city, are equal in workmanship, beauty of style, and finish to the best we ever saw any where. Mr. Lippincott, of Richmond, and others, also contribute some fine specimens of carriage architecture. The "Cincinnati Artists' Union" exhibits a copy of Cole's "Voyage of Life," by Sontagg, a western artist of great merit. These pictures are said, by competent judges, to be equal to the originals, and a view of them is well worth the price of admission. The series will be distributed at the next drawing of the Union, which will be in January nexV The same Union also exhibits two beautiful engravings "In a Quandary." and the "Teachings of Nature." These engravings are to be given to every subscriber to the Union. They are each worth the subscription price five dollars. "Manufacture. Hall" is always crowded, because it contains the "fancy work" and the "flowers" what there are of them. The season, however, is so far advanced that but few flowers and plantsj are on exhibition. Among them are a beautiful bunch of roses, deposited by ; two lemou tress, bearing fruit; some very fine Dahlias; and a Cactus and Century Plant, by Mrs. Ohr. of this citv. There are some beautiful specimens of needle-work on exhibition bv Miss Ann? A. Jordan, Mrs. Wvcant. I wet and Miss Henderson, of this city, and Miss Cummins, of Madison. Miss Savitz, of Jeffersonville, contributes a lot of beautiful artificial flowers, accompanied by a very creditable leitet to Gov. Wright. Miss Redfield exhibits a beautiful specimen of crotchet work. But the most beautiful and elaborate specimens of needle work we ever saw are those deposited by Mrs. Charleswerth, of Madison, and Miss Sallie Benbridge, of St. Mary's of the Woods. The Washington, by this latter lady, resembles, at a short distance, a fine painting, and is altogether the most artistic needle work we ever saw. Mr. Lindley, of this city, Importer of Queensware, contributes a beautiful set of China ware. a Mr. Vajen exhibits a case of CarpcntajV Tools, of homo manufacture, which shows tbt Indiana cii inot be beaten in that branch of manufactures Mr. Ott exhibits a lot of splendid furniture; giving evidence that he needs no protection but his own taste, skill, and industry to enable him to compete successfully with furniture makers in any part of the world. Miss Ellen Whitney exhibits some beautifully worked collars and capes. Orr, of Madison, and Hall, of Indianapolis, some tine clothing, trunks, etc.; and McGianis, of Indianapolis, anu Levering & Hunt, of Lafayette, a case each of fine Hats. Among the most attractive articles in the Hall were the specimens of Porcelain Ware exhibited by Mr. Morris, of this city, and Messrs. WTinchell, Phelps, 8t Co., agents for the manufacturers. It is of American manufacture, the first that has ever been exhibited, we believe, in the West at least the company at present manufacturing it is the first one to succeed in making good American porcelain and they have succeeded. Their ware in every respect is ranch better than the foreign, and only about half a eostly. During the day yesterday, we frequently saw persons amusing themselves by striking fire with a piece of steel, from the

bottom of a saucer, or some otner equally frail article of a tea set. We have spoken of this ware before. A large crowd was always standing round the "Percussion 8eal Press" of P. Evans, Jr. This is one of the most convenient and useful little articles on exhibt. lion. It is used with greater ease and less consumption of time than any press ever before invented, and seems to be the ne plus ultra of seal presses. It is light, elegant, and durable, weighing only about two pounds, and can be carried in the pocket. It is cheap too seal and press all complete, costing only five dollars considerably less than half the price of the old press. All that is required to produce an impression equal to the weight of a ton, is a quick hard blow with the open hand! Every business man should have one. Vajen, of this city, has them for sale. Among the threshing machines, the "Improved Machine for threshing and cleaning Grain," from the manufactory of A. Gaar fit Co., Richmond, attraoted the most attention. It was a beautiful specimen of workmanship, and was awarded the first prize a silver cup as the best thresher on exhibition. On Thursday it threshed several bushels of wheat at the rate of one bushel in 45 seconds, or eighty bushels in an hoar. Probably the best specimen of neat and elegant workmanship on the ground was a buggy manufactured by H. R. ltaston,of this city. The wood is all, or nearly all hickory, and is not painted, but varnished and polished. The slightest defect in the wood or workmanship could thus be readily detected, but we believe therein net the least in either. It was altogether the most beautiful carriage at the Fair, and is highly creditable to the skill and taste of the manufacturer. The best Saddle we ever saw was deposited by G. L. Fearis, of Connersville. The price asked for it is fifty dollars, and from the labor which evidently must have been expended upon it, the quality of the materials u-ed, and the ease which the Saddle would apparently afford to both horse and rider, we are inclined to think fifty dollars a low prioe for it.

A Spinning Wheel invented by Mr. Matbeny, of Dearborn connty, and exhibited by Joseph Stoops, of this county, who owns the right, attracted much attention from the farmers' wives and daughters So did an improved Hand Local, exhibited by Quackenboss & Davis, of Morgan county. These machines gave evidence that even in the good old "spinning wheel and cottage loom," mtuh improvement can he made. A Locomotive Lamp, mauufaoiured by Olcott St Brother, Rochester, New York, appeared to be well fitted for what it was designed to give a brilliant light. A fire proof Safe, from the manufactory of Duryee, Forsyth, fit Co., Rochester, elicited much commendation from busine-s men. S. Rea, of this city, exhibited in two large frames, Daguerreotypes of the members of Use last Senate and House, of this State. Also, likenesses of many of the young ladies of this city beautiful, of course, or they would not have been likenesses. These Daguerreotypes were executed in Rea's best style, which is equivalent to saying that they cannot be excelled in tho world. Mr. Webling, from Connersville, also exhibits some excellent Daguerreotypes. Many of his pictures very nearly, if not quita, equalled Rea's, and were highly creditable productions. Messrs. W. H. St H. E. Carr, of Rushvilie, J. Sulgrove, of this city, and R. St. John, of Tarre Haute, each contributed specimens of splendid Harness. Mr. A Wigginton St Brother, of Martinsville, exhibited a beautiful Ladies' Hooped Saddle, which was much admired. A Stave and some Flour-Barrels the best we ever saw and a lot of lasts, were exhibited by J. R. Osgood, of this city. Mrs. E. Kirk, and Mrs. Miller, of this city, exhibited some "dear Bonnets," as the ladies said, and other "fixins" for the ladies, the names of which we did not know. One, a cross between a cloak and a sack ooat, was mark, ed "$50.00," and many a bachelor incontinently blessed himself for his celibacy as be passed it. Cases of fancy articlis and perfumery were deposited by Messrs. Craighead &t Browning, and J. P. Pope & Co., Druggists, of this city. Mr. Roberts, Druggist, of this city, bad on exhibition two bottles of excellent Cologne, manufactured by him. A number of ladies who appeared to be au fait in the matter, said it was the best they had ever seen, and, though not much ol a judge in such things, we fully agreed with them. The scent is the most fragrant we ever inhaled equal to that of the most delicate flowers. Cologne made from the same recipe, Mr. Roberts informed us, has taken the piize at the recent State Fairs in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. Messrs. A. M. and P. G. C. Hunt, Dentists of this city, exhibited some specimens of their work, whioh, we heard a lady say, almost tempted her to have all ber teeth pulled, and her mouth filled with those of Hunt's manufacture they looked so white, even, and natural. Pumps of all sorts wore plentifully exhibited. The "Hydraulic Force and Lift Pump," manufactured by G. D. Winchel fit Co., Cincinnati, being the most novel in its constructure, attracted the most attention. The foregoing are only a lew of the many articles on exhibition, and are such as attracted our attention in passing. The Executive Committee failed to make any arrangements for the accommodation of Reporters, and the exhibitors, in many instances, were not present, so thai many articles which merited a notice escaped attention. This was peculiarly the case with the horses, and the fruit and vegetables. The fair "passed off pleasantly ; the weather was fine the whole time, and not a single serious accident occurred. Some pockets were picked, and some money and other articles were lost, as was to be expected, bat probably no serious inconvenienoe followed to the sufferer. Wo believe all, or nearly all who visited the city found some kind of accommodations as good as could be expected, considering the orowd, which on Thursday was esttmated.to be from 45,000 to 60,000 persons. We have not heard what tho receipts were, bot presume they were considerably more than enough to pay expenses. We shall publish u list of the premiums as soon as we can get them. For the Daily Indiana Btata Sentinel. Correction. I have just learned from several quarters at the State Fair, that most exaggerated reports are circulating over tbe country respecting sickness at Greencastle, founded, it is said, on a private business note, which I addressed some weeks ago to ao acquaintance in Cincinnati, and which by sonn means, I know not what, found its way into tbe Cincinnati papers. It is true that during the latter part of August, and I he early part of September, some sioknees, and several deaths occurred at Greencastle, from flux, a disease to which every place in the United States is occasionally liable. But it has wholly disappeared, and general health has returned. I have lived in Greencastle twelve years, and I have never known a place, east or west, so healthy, a: is that town usually is. W. C. LARRABEE Iidianapelis, October 21, 1852

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1852. To the Democracy of Indiana. The following is the secret circular issued by John D Defrees, editor of the Indiana State Journal, and ohairraan of the Whig State Central Committee. As chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, I have thought it due to the Democratic party to publish this circular entire, that they may be fully advised of the desperate means the Whigs will employ to carry the State for Gen. Scott. Here is the address. Head it: I.VDlAJf AF0LI3. Oct. 17, 1852. Gestleme We think the official returns will show that Wright's majority is not over twelve thousand. This unexpected majority was occasioned by tbe greatly increased foreign vote, whom the Locofocos have succeeded in prejudicing against us. In many counties where the Whigs have long been in the minority, local candidates have made no effort for the State ticket, in the hope of securing Locofoco support for themselves Wright, through influences which cannot operate against Gen. Scott, received many votes in every neighborhood. A great number of illegal votes were given, which can be excluded next month by the proper vigilance at the polls, Although the majority is greater than we expected.

it is no less our duty to make every possible effort to overcome it. It may be done. Contributing much toward that object is the following plan: Send two active Whigs into each township to make arrangements with the leading Whigs in those townships to have every man who will support Scott at the polls. Inevery neighborhood may be found those who voted for the Locofoco ticket at the recent election, that can be induced to vote for Scott. Let those most likely to possess influence over them, exercise it. Such persons might be furnished with tickets befor the day of election, so that they eould vote their preference unawed by party leaders at the polls. It would be a good plan" for those canvassing the townships to leave tickets in every house, as there are mnnv that would secretly vote for Gen. Scott. Our opponents, feeling secure on the large majority received by Governor W right, will not make the same effert they did at the recent election. There is nothing about the character of their candidate to induce them to rally warmly to his support. Let us appeal to you to aid us in making one more effort to redeem our State from the curse of Locofoco. ism ; and it is not impossible that we shall succeed. Our advices from New York are of ;hc most confident charaoter. It will vote for Scott bevond all reasonable doubt. Our opponents crow over the recent elections in Ohio , and Pennsylvania. Their majorities there do not exceed from six to eight thousand. The full vote was noi . ut by over thirty thousand. It will b; out in November. Our friends in those States assure ns that they will certainly carry them for Scott, a:d we do not doubt it. We believe Gen. Scott will be elected, even should he not get the vote of this State yet there is not a troe Whig in it that would not glory in giving it to him. Go to work, then, we conjure you, and cease not until the last ballot is oast on the first Tuesday in November, and if defeated we shall all have the proud satisfaction of having performed our dHty. JOHN D. DEFREES. Chairman Central Committee. Forewarned lie forearmed. Here are the Wbig plans of secret operations unveiled. The first paragraph, contains a wilful misrepresentation. Gov. Wright's majority will exceed eighteen thousand. I deem it unnecessary to make any comments on this extraordinary circular. It speaks for itsklf. It is only necessary for our Democratic friends to know the secret plans and operations of tho Whigs to counteract them. The Democrats issue . o sscret circulars. All their plans and operations are open to the inspection and criticism of their opponents. W. J. BROWN, CAatraan Dem. Central Committee. The Indiana Journal and Gov. Wright. John D Defrees still reiterates his charges against Governor Wright. In the Journal of Thursday morning tbe Governor is denounced as "a mere pretender," "a hobby-rider," "slanderer of Henry Clay;" and the editor says he can prove any other charge that he ever made. We have no doubt but that be could prove that Joseph A.Wright was a high-way robber, an assasin, or a traitor. There are willing witnesses enough who will certify to the truth of any charge Defrees in his malice may invent. To show the mean and low spirit which prompts this man, Defrees, in his hatred of the Guv. ernor, we copy a single paragraph from bis article: " Sometime since the "Scnticel" said that we had charged him with being a hypocrite. We never made that charge. It was invented by the Sentinel in the hope of producing sympathy in behalf of irs candidate. We uever expressed our views in relation to a fact so apparent, and upon which there exists no difference of opinion." Now, what is that but expressing his opinion? Jos. A. Wright is a member in good standing in the Methodist Church. That he is a hypocrite, the Journal says "is a fact to apparent, and upon which there, exists no difference of opinion." That is Mr. Defrees's judgment. Those who have known Governot Wright long and intimately think differently. He has been ridiculed because he attends Church, Sabbath Schculs, and prayer meetings. We knew Governor Wright well when a member of Congress, and can testify that he was one of the few that did not forget his religion when he reached Washington. These charges, however, have not raade many votes for Mr. McCarty, as the returns very clearly show. If Mr. McCarty falls behind tbe Whig strength in the State, he can easily find the man that produced the result. He can point to John D. Defrees, and say as Nathan did to David, "thou art the man'" Under the administratiorrof the Indiana Journal the Whig party has grown "small by degrees and beautifully less;" and if the editor pursues his present judicious course for a few years more, Whiggery will be an "obsolete idea" in Indiana.

Prom the Washington Union. The German View of General Scott and the Naturalization Laws.

Tri Inllrta-inrv lottar fVn Clrnnm n A r rt mA shows the natural and juit suspicion with which Gen Scott's proposed alteration of the naturalisation laws, as interpolated into tbe Whig platform by his letter of acceptance, is regarded by the more intelligent and farsighted of our foreign population. The Whig organs will doubtless contend, in answer to the views of our correspondent, that Gen. Scott proposes to leave the naturalization laws as they are. adding to them only a provision conferring citicenship after a brief period of service in the army or aavy. But it most be remembered, in tbe first place, that the coaststutionality of thus providing two alternative modes aad conditions of naturalisation is open to serious question. It must be remembered, too, that in 1844, and for a long period, both prior and subsequent to that year, General Scott proposed to confer tbe right of suffrage on those aliens only who should render military or naval service. Tbe apprehension is therefore a just and natural ewe on the part of our foreign-born population, -that, thus avowing, as he docs in his letter of acceptance, an adherence to one of the features of his old native-American creed, so long professed and so warmly cherished by him, he would, if elected President, soon revert to the whole of his former doctrine and policy upon this subject, and so wield the power of his administration to make service in tbe army or navy the indispensable and exclusive condition of the right of the alien-born citizen to vote. The consequences of such a policy are well set forth by our correspondent. Cincinnati, (Ohio,) August 10, 1852. To the Editor of the Union: Sia: I am a German bv birth, and an adopted citizen of this country la common with my fellow-countrymen. I take an interest in the affairs of the country . The editor of the New York Tribune has sent out great numbers of tbe life of General Scott in the German language. These books have each thirty-two pages and thirty-three pictures. These pictures repre sent Gen. Scott sitting on a log in one place, and in other positions in other places; but in all of them he is clad in warlike dress a cap with a long feather, golden epaulets, a sword, boots, spurs, eto. Now, the Ger man immigrants are peaceful men ; they do not care for the beating cf drums or the firing of cannon, nor any kind of military display. They saw too much of this in thW monarchical countries of Europe, where tbe com mon people were overawed by jdst such pageantry and display. The picture-book sent out by the editor of the Tribune does no: contain any of Gen. Scott's opinions about the repeal of the naturalization laws, and says nothing about his letter in the National Inielligencer signed Americus," or his claim to be the founder ol the native-American party. But the object of my writing this letter is to obtain information on one point Tbe Whigs here say that Gen. Scott has given ap these old opinions of bis, and bas newer and better ones In his letter accepting the Whig nomination for tbe Presidency, he says that if elected he will recommend the changing of the naturalizaiion laws so as to allow foreign immigrants the privilege of citizenship after serving one year in tbe American army or navy during war. It has occurred to us. then, that if there is do war there can be. of course, no naturalisation; aud we have submitted this matter for explanation to the editor Tf the New York Tribune, who does not reply to us. We therefore understand that if General Scott elected there are to be ro marc people naturalized till a war breaks out somewhere and each immigrant serves one year in that war. Suppose there is no war in fifty years, then there is to b? no uaturaüzaticn. Or is Gen. Scott hose trade it is to fight, going to keep tip a continual WR- in order to naturalize the hundreds cf thousands of people who are every year coming to tbe country? Now, it seems to me that this will be a very expensive way of naturalizing people. There ari about three hundred thousand people coming every year to the United States, one-half of these are males, requiring tobe naturalised Then the army of the United States is to be iac-renaed every year, with thee additional immigrants, and the enlis'.nent laws of the United States require Miidiers t enlist for five years. This will keep up an army of nearly a million'of men. and these men are to serve in mar befire they can kcume citizens.. Who are tbe United States to fight with sueb an immense armt Now, there are many objections to this method of naturalizing people. In the first place, immigrants who come here do not wish to abandon tbeir families and go into the army. It is necessary that they provide a borne, and labor to support their families. Besides, if tbey ere willing to enlist in the army, it would be ao expensive to the United States to support such en immense standing army, that the people would not submit to it It is estimated thateverv soldier in tbe army costs the government, inculding all expenses. $1,000 a year: one thousand soldiers cost a million of dollars each vear. Suppose there are 50,000 immigrants wishing to become citizens, there is an expense of fi'ty millions of dollars to tbe government, the loss of time to the immigrant, and the bad habits aeqaired in the army. The expense now of getting out naturalisation papers is less than one dollar; under General Scott' plan it would cost the government one thousand dollars, and the immigrant ore year's service in the army Hurirrjr It seems to me that one of two things is frue; Geo. Scott means to keep up an immense standing army of several hundred thousand men in a constant war, or ha means to do away wijh the naturalisation laws entirely, and prohibit us from becoming citizens of tbe United States. If Mr. Greeley, of the New York Tribune, will explain this matter satistactorily. it will be more for Gen. Scott's benefit than all his pietnre-books ; and if he cannot, be may as well keep his picture-books at home. I did think of asking you about that $100.000 whioh General Scott ordered U be sent to Canada, but I am told that a clerk in his office said it could not be done without the authority of Congress " FRITZ LAUBENHEIMER. av iwiivntua i v t v i ii "iu t wvi mau auoptw VUieVWi 0D. P. Hollo way. of tho Richmond Palladium, says the result of the State election don't surprise bim half as much as the circumstance of having his "humble tabernaclo taken for n grog shop by an Irishman, when wanted to purchase a quart of whisky on Sunday." It is surprising indeed that the Irishman should have called for the whisky, after the election. If it had been the Sunday before there would have been nothing strange in the incident. David then loved the rich brgue. But after the election the Irishman could get no whisky. ILTThe Cincinnati Gazette, alluding to the election in Indiana says: "The vote for members of Congress in this State is the only test in this instance as every one knows. Now, where will this apparent majority of short 3.000 be, when the Old Hero of Chippewa comes upon the course? It will vanish like a white frost before the noonday sun. Whigs awake buckle on your armor Indiana will go for Scott and Graham." Three thousand majority indeed. The Democratic majority on the Congressional tioket, will be over fifteen thousand. Pennsylvania and Ohio. We never over-estimate majorities, or mislead oar friends as to true results. We have thus far examined, with much care, the returns received from these States The Democratic majority in Pennsylvania we think will not vary much from eighteen thousand ; and in Ohio it will reach seventeen thousand, and may go some beyond it enough to insure both States without a doubt for Pierce and King. The Election. The election on Tuesday last passed off quietly. Tbe Locofocos imported about" one hundred Irish voters into the county, who of course voted the clean Loco ticket; and, as expected, the whole Whig ticket is defeated. Orawfordsville Journal.
