Or. If,, surprised at the display of costly jewels, ornaments, dresSes, and all the varied paraphernalia OF which ladies are natareflv food, inquired of the captain his object in having' made so many valuable pur- - ... I .“ :f- *-i ,

The sailor, iu reply, said that fbr eovea or rs he had been ftMaehed to a ISy t i to whom he had • several thUfetf made proposals of marriage, but waaas often rejected; that hes refusal to taSd him, however, bail only gtifniilfttod his lotre to greater exertion; tfttd, that fin Ally, upon renewing bis offer, declaring in the ardency of, his passion that without her society life was not worth living, the consented to become hie bride Upon his return from his pest voyage, fie was so overjoyed At the prospect or' a marriage, from which, in the Warmth of hjs feelings, he probably Anticipated more happiness than is usually alio ted to mortals, that he .spent *H his ready money wWlfe in London for bridal gifts, After gazing trpon them fondly for home time aud remarking in turn, "I think thiswriil please Annie,' and 'l' am sc sbb will like that/ he re placed them with the utmost enre. This ceremony he repeated every day during the voyage; and the Doctor oft.B hserved a tear glistening in his eye as be spoke of the pleasure be would have in pfe--Bentiug them to his afflanffod bride. „ On reaching bis destination the captain arrayed ,himself with mere than usual precision, and disembarked as soon as possible, to hasten to his love. As he was about to step into the Carriage awaiting him, he was called aside by two gentlemen, who desired to make a communication, the purport; of wldph was thkt the lftdy had proved unfaithful to the trust reposed 10-bor,-a44 .marriedt another, with whom she had decamped ' shortly before, instantly the captain was observed to clasp his hand to his breast and fall heavily to the ground. He waAtshafiOp andednveyed to his room on the vessel. Dr. M. was .immediately summoned; but, before he reacted the poor captain, he was dead. , A post mortem examination itevehled the cause of his unfortunate decease. His hAprt was found literally torn in twain! The tremenduous propulsion of the blood, consequently upon such a violent nervous shock, forced the powerful muscular tissues asunder, And life was at an end. The heart was BUosmt. ..0 - , -r-*- - < n- 'ill, desi Seen eeaaSi rvill|SUi'*l" ■ Hn As every possible effort is made by the opposition to prejudice our Adopted citizens against Den. Scott, it is but right and proper that h(s true sentiments as to that portion of our people should be known. On Gem. Scott's return from Mexico, he was received by his neighbors artd friends at Elisabethtown, New Jei-sy, with every demonstration of joy and respect. At ibis place he was mot by committee appointed to request him to visit. New York. He was addressed, on that occasion, by Morris Franklin, on behalf of the committee. In reply the General said: You have been pleased, sir, to allude to our adopted citizens. I cun sap that the Irish, the Germans, the Swiss, the French, the Britons and

other adopted cithens, fought in the tame rank, under the tame colors, side by side with natwe-bom Americans—exhibiting like courage and efficiency, and Ending at every victory in the same enthusiastic shouts In hoiior of our flag and our country. From Yera Crus to the Capital of Mexico, there was a generous rivalry in heroic daring and brilliant achievements. Let those wlio witnessed that career of valor and patriotism say, if they can, what sace, according to numbers, contributed most to the general success and glory of the tattnpaign. In the many nurd fought ’battles, there was no room for invidious distinction. All proved themselves the faithful eases, ts our beloved country, and no spectator could fail to dismiss any imaginary prejudice he might have entertained as to the comparative merits <f Amsritans by birth and Americans by adoption."

What demagogue will now dare say that Gen. Soorr entertains any other than tbe most friendly feelings for all portions of otir people, whether native born or foreigners? A Disgraceful Riot took place at Lo.utsvillc, Ky„ on Sunday. A Louisville paper of Mbnday says: Soon after the hells rung out an alarm of (ire, and several of tlie engines proceeded to the wharf, and one of them, the Hope, went up Fifth street. There was no fire, the alarm be-

ing false. f In ■ A large crowd of men, boys and negroes, accompanied the engines, and directly a cry Was heard in the crowd, saying, "Give it to the Irish; they have carried the day long enough/’ Upon that signal they went to work, knocking down every man they met on tho street, that looked tike an Irishman.

[Applause.] He had. seen Den. Scott, and loved him, os did every soldier who had ever served under him. [Great applause.] General Scott was a plain man, and honest man, an independent Wan, a braVe man; and while Ms finifne alone WAS to strike the enemies of’ his country with tertor. hri soldiers approached him familiarly. He loved them with all the tenderness of a pareufo’ nnd they adorned, reverenced, indoKzed him. [TremeijdioUs applause;] With Scott for thetr leader, the American soldier* felt itivineibh?}' danger Was forgotten; no foe cduld withstand the headlong fury of their, charge; they mocked at danger, and laughed at . death. [Deafening applause.] Mr. Bynner then gave a general description of the City of togetlic? with mafiy interesting facts connected with the history of the Ohieftshr during that momentous period. Speaking of the villainous, outragenns arrest 6f General Scott, he said--*-“I wns tft the city Os Puebla when the glorious old chieftain waa arrested. Tliti flews of the out-

When he arrived in"the the soli dieys stood mute and -pale with vary rage. He descended from his carriage ift their midst, nitd drawing his towering form up to its full nelgßt, saltb "Fellow soldiers, I am A prisoner iri the nation We conquered; I cannot accept a public demonsft-ntioß," [The- audience Was silent for a few moments; every eye flashed wfth indignation; every hand was clensted; eve;ry lip was pale and compressed; suddenly a deafening yell'went up that shook the building to its centre.] ‘ ***'**** *®Li Mr. Caldwell wte next called upon.

After a few brief but happy remarks, he recanted his seat amidst the most enthusiastic cheers.] Clem. Jackson and den. Scott. Many years ago, there Was a personal diffir.v.fflj jaair r vat quirer,,ja,nd some of its coadjutors in LocOfocoism, have labored bard to make this correspondence put Scott irt the fault—l 6 stamp him a coward—because he declined to challenge Gen. Jackson to tight a duel! Tpe effort proyed of ho effect. It Is/well now to lookback and see how tills matter ftlfeotpd General-Jaoteou himself, who in sense thing*, was as time as steel; The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says: In March, 1829, Gen. Jackson succeeded to the Presidency. Between Gen. Scott and Gen. Jackson there had been personal difficulties dating as far back as the year 1815. At an early stage of the heW administration, Qen, Scott called at the office of the Secretary of War—Gen. John H. Eaton-r and tendered his resignation as Major General in the

army. Gen, Eaton, a, very cool, considerate man, and friendly to Gen. Scott, begged to ronionstrate against tMV^bCcedflr'e. ~t Oea. Scott was, however, bent upon Ids purpose; and he added to his explanation, that bis family were in Europe, and that he was about to go out to join them, and should be absent some months—pfrirapt.a year. Gen. Eaton then requested Gen. Scott to remain in the city, and to call upon him the next day. ‘‘Gen. Eaton went to President Jackson and informed him of. the interview, and that Gen. Scott had tendered bis resignation. General Jackson replied: ‘I suppose Gen. Scott thinks that on account of old difficulties between US, I am unfriendly to him—which is not the case—aud therefore he wishes to resign. Now, Mr. Secretary, do what you please in tho matter, bgt treat Gen. Scott precisely in the same manner and with the same consideration as if nothing had everpassed between him and ms ’ ” ‘‘The next day Gen. Scott oalled at tho. War Office, and Gen. Eaton, informed Mm that, as he wished to go to Europe, he (Ue Secretary) would give him a furlough for twelve mouths, Gen. Scott accepted tt,,but still left his resignation in the hauds of the Secretary, to be ac-

cepted or .not.” v. . - “Gen. Scott went to Europe. After about ten months* absence, be returned to New York. From that city he addressed a letter to Gen. Eaton, Secretary of War, thanking him for hU courtesy, and expressing a desire to withdraw his resignation. Geto. Eaton replied, sending him his letter of resignation, and saying that he wes much gratified Chat an officer who had conferred so much honor Upon the service had determined to repihip in it. f, | was, of course, in the power of General Eaton, at any time, while the resignation was in bia hands, to endorse his name on it, and that would have pi}t amend to Gen. Scott’s military career,” ' ' ~ . f>T

Tan Frsusar DnrehmiTY.— I The Boston Owner, of July 19, publishes a document dated State Department, July dth, and signed by DaniehWebster ia which it ir stated that measures have been taken by the British Goverttment in regard to the American Fisheries’ whioh will completely interrupt this business,* in which New England is so largely interested, and a constant collision of ad unpleasant and exciting character, which mat end in the de - struction of life and disturb the peace of the taro countries. Tbe whole subject,will engage the immediate attention of the Government.

[ jft ,A' *HJ 5 ' -fwsls Smith Bead Rs^istsr. The PMtftM Paper platforms for politioal.partiea are aometimee toyth *h paprn on which they are written, ami sometimes not. Where they reafflrrtl the known position of contending parties on the questions arid principles whidfi icgitimately divide them, they may be of value, because they express what is endorsed by the whole party adopting them. When they ' attempt to settle the position of a party on questions outside of the party organization, and ou which meti in different sections differ, they bind those voting fast them only;,but are even then liable to be amended or modified in successive years hy the very persons who have previously endorsed them, as,their opinions on those issues may ihafige. ThttS, for instance, a Whig Convontion ift 1844, in settling a platform on Slavery, Would have probably mainly m regard tollre then impending annexation of Texquestion, and the Proviso Would have been the pforajnent jssue. In 18,49,: if it had befen attempted, Gen. Taylor’s non-action plan of set* tliiilgthfr Slavery question, in the ,Tevrjfories -Would Have probably been the' theme. In 1852, It is the Compromise. And in 1854, if it w||epossible that. Pierce Could be elected, the question of preserving California undivided and free, and of, resisting Cuban Invasions, Winked at hy the Government, Would command tha attention of the Whig Party. It does not prove, therefore, because, id a season when the whqlq Nation desires peace, and when it is-evl-dent to all that for the present, none of the Compromise measures can be changed, a Whig Convention gives them a quasi endorsement, partly for the sake of harmony in. .the party, because the North intended was of more value than the platform, the candidate —jtdaes not follow !hAt, throughout all time, and-under any change of circumstances, the majority of the party would always think or act exactly as did then.

But, even taking the Compromise Itesolution As ivi, it is nobso ultra as some hare imagined, who have not closely examined its qualifications and conditions. The southren men demanded at filst an absolute “finality’’, without any res'•rvations. Against that, the whole Indiana Delegation, in obe of their meetings, resolved to.vote unanimously. But the Committee on the Platform changed its phraseology so materially and modified tbe stringency of Its langitage, that seven of itsihirteen delegate*, from the Central and portions of State, concluded to vo[o for it, looking upon the resolution as only declaring that the Compromise should be acquiesced in until it was thought expedient and necessary to alter Sts.details.,, Tho careful deader of the resdlution will have noticed: _ , 1, That it does not declare any approval whatever of the Compromise. Its’ strongest language is “acqulesed in.’’ 2. They are to be “enforced" of course, as all laws must be, whether popular or unpopular, palatable or Uripalatable. But how toUp , nn and Experienoe demonstrate that further legislation is needed tb guard against the evasion of tbe Jaws on tbe one hand, or the abuse of their powers on the other.. So that, whoever Considers the "power*" of tha Fugitive Slave Law have been "abused,” Can, evsn pnder the rstohtlUmi '**% TbV, Way, demand, “furtherlegislation" on the subject to!right the wrong. < 4. ]Vith the above important qualification, and subject of course to it, agitation is deprecated and discountenanced.

To show that We Are notwrong in these declarations, we quote the following from the National Era.of the 84th of June. That paper, in comparing tbe two platforms, Whig and Democratic, and showing that, though approving of neltheK tbe whig resolution is the least objectionable, declares*. The question is clearly left open, and tlie whig resolutions contemplate two ways in which it might be legitimately renewed—in one, for the purpose of amending the Law, so as to prevent evasion, in tlie other, of so amending it as to correct abuse. The opponents and supporters of the law arc left equally tt liberty to agitate this subject. The embraced in that portion of the Compromise relating to the boundary of New Mexico, were settled by thepassnge of the act, and nobody proposes to re-open them; all parties regard them as finally settled. A pledge on this point was needless. We bare tosay that they [tbe two platforms] differ as it respects agitation on the subject of slavery. The whig resolve does not go so far as the Democratic.

The whig resolve does not exclude agitation in regard to slavery in the District, the coastwise slave trade, claims on Congress for indfemnity for slaves, the bearings of slavery on the question of the annexation of Cuba, on the possible dismemberment of Mexico, and the roture annexation -of its northern States; or oh the policy sometimes attempted to be brought to the attention of Congress, of colonising the free people of color. Bui the Democratic resolve does, exclude all this, by Ift pledge to ‘‘resist all attempts at renewing, in Congfess or out of it, the agitation of tl\e Slavery Question, under whatever shape or color.

Tit* whig resolve does not deprecate, or pledge the party to discountenance, the agitation of the question; but the Democrats resolve does, in the comprehensive, unqualified term "under whatever shape or color.** This testimony is the more impartial and weighty because* Dr. Bailey, its author, on nearly fill political questions, agrees with tha Democracy and disagrees with the whigs.— There was nothing*. therefore, to induce him to look more favorably at the platform of the lattrir than of the former.

Texas Creditors. —General Hamilton publishes a card to the Texas Creditors, in which he says it is treeless to. struggle longer for the full amount oftheii* demahds, and calls upon all who ape willing to accept the portion offered by Texas to inform him of the fact, at Washiugton, eo As to enable him to memorialise Congress for relief from the five millions retained, and to procure money for the creditors as soon as practicable. 4 He says that such compulsory acttdft will j not deprive the creditors of future appeal to Texka and to tho United States.

The editor of the Louisville Journal has excepted the challenge.

AWecwote or Gzs. Scoff.—The following is from the pea of the editoi of the New York "Mirror who was a warm ad rotate of the nomination of Mr. Fillmore and Who manifested a keen disappointment at the result Os the deliberations of the Whig National Convention:

Some your years Ago, a young man called at pur office to subscribe for the Mirror. Jn the j course of conversation, he stated that ho was a ; "returned volunteer from the Mexican war;” and instead of loafing about New York, and begging aims of the corporation of the oily and the legislature of the Slate, he had been off to Wfocorisin, bought a farm, opened a store, and was already postmaster of the village. Hjs bright eye, energetic manner, And manly determination to fight his own way through the world interested us at once;aud,.onbidding himgood : bye as he left the office, we remarked: “We Shall next hear from you Asa member of the 'Legislature." 1 This morning we had a visit from the young man, whose first words were; * "Your prediction hsa been fulifilled, I have heeft a member of the Legislature and a clerk' of she Hdtise.’' 1 '*- •>• r , * ‘How are your politics?’’ we asked. His reply was: f. * “I am a Democrat; but out of gratitude for one who saved my life, I shall vote for Scott." “How is that?" “Why, sir, when I was lying on the stone floor ia the hospital at Jalapft, parched with fever, and covered with aores, with no one to look after me, Gen. Scott came in and wetit .around among all the sick and wounded. He came to me and asked if I was wounded. 1 told him I was not; but I was very sick, and could not live many days, ‘Don’t talk so,’ said the General. He then asked me if I was well tended, I told him I had no attention at all. He then stooped down, lifted up my feeble arm, felt of my pulse, examined mV fever sores, and sent for the surgeon, and asked him Uhy I was thus neglected. The Surgeon sent for his assistant, Who, in return, sent for the Steward of the hospital. The General them to taka good care es me; ana, on leaving, told me if they did not to report at mice to him. So, yon see, sir, lie saved my life by his kindness, as he did hundreds of others! and I should be a scoundrel not to vote for him, They say he is proud. So he is an horseback—on Ihc battlefield he is Major General Scott; blit off*, he is a kind-hearted, humane amb.’’ This is a true story—and a story to tell.

“Gnn for Gun—and More.-’ Since the days when the "Boy Officer, Winfield Scott, ort the field of battle won glories under which whs hid the disgrace of Htilfs Surrender and other disastrous defeats, and wheur.be won from Madison by his ralor, in spits of his youth, grade after grade till the Highest was reached, Democratic administrations have looked (o him for relief in in, time of tribulation. Jacksott; the Father of Modem Democracy, sent him to Carolina to crush the hydra of disunion, and he succeeded in his mission. A Btates inflamed by the fires of patriotism which burned so brightly in *7O; organized for the cordial support of the people in revolt. The spirit was good, but it was misdirected; still it gained a power which the Democratic administration could not control. Alarmed at the demonstrations, the British Minister had addressed a note to Mr. Vahßuren which told him that if the United States could not preserve their treaty faith the British Government could do it for them. Trembling at th significant note which boded war, Mr. Van Huron turned as to a compass, to Scott; who, always ready to serve his country, was soon upon the frontier. Be arrived at Cleveland, the hehd-quarters of the “Patriot” movement. Here he found nine out of ten men “Patriots.” Lodges had bech organized, measures taken for the invasion of Canada, men mustered, and cannon balls cast. He had the military force of the Union at his control, but if he called it into service, hundreds of his own gallant, patriotic, well-meaning countrymen would be sacrificed; and here as wherever the alternative of Peace or War was presented, he sought to be the Great Pacificator. A meeting of the Patriots Was called at the American. The Hall wss crowded—all were opposed to him, and jealous and even fierce glances were cast Upon him as he entered the hall, his tall, manly and commanding form towering above the assemblage. Well do we remember that night when, a mere boy, wo stood among that assembly, while the "Great Pacificator* poured oil upon the troubled Waters which surged around him.

He told them Uiat in a just war with Great Britain it would be his pride, his pleasure, and his glory to lead the Armies of the Union into Canada. That in times past, to sustain American honor and in defence of American rights, he had fought, and bled upon that soil. But j now,' treaties of amity and neutrality were interposed, which could not be trampled upon witno t breach of National faith.—Should tltese be violated, no Nation would dare to treat with tt, nnd we should he dishonored among the Powers of the Earth. He was entrusted with the power of the UnioiUo prevent this disgrace, and if necessary, he should use it; but he trusted that a regard for justice nnd honor, was

160 deeply implanted in the American heart to require the exercise of that power. But while he would prevent the violation of treaty fktlth by well meaning but rash citiscns, he Would as promptly oppose British assumption. Fellow citizens, said he, aa I came Up the Niagara river on my way hither, 1 found the U. S. Steamer Barcelona on the American side ready to start.
