QTKSTIO.V FOR SOUTHERN WHIG SPEAKERS AND

PAPERS.—If

some of the democratic presses and

speakers in the southern States would ask the whig leaders the following question, it would convey some useful information if fairly or honestly answered.

Of the whig papers and whig leaders in the North that now support General Scott with zeal and en* ergy, and that urged his nomination with the utmost enthusiasm at Baltimore* can a single one be named Of the whole number—constituting nineteentwentieths of the entire whig papers and politicians of the free States—that did not take ground against the South, against the fugitire slave law, and against the compromise measures—Union.

TAR AXJ FEATHERS.—TheCleaveland Plaindealer gives a sketch of a speech delivered in that city, a few days since, by General Houston, in the course of which the following allusion is made to the Secretary of State:

Speaking of Mr. Webster's opinion of the can* didates. he remarked that he had heard that statesman say that Gen. Fierce was a man of high attain* ments and capital mind. And he bad spoken of him from good acquaintance. As to the 'god-like" views of the Whig nomination, he related the following anecdote, current in Washington City, When Mr. Webster teamed the action of the Con* vemion, he said, 'Well, this is not the first time we have heard of TA* A*D FKATHSCS commencing together/ Feathers, as is well known, part of the popular soubriquet applied to Scott, and 8lr. Graham comes (rota a State whose main business is exporting tar. turpentine and rosin**" -immT* *-J$ tiood gives this graphic description of an irritable man: 'Ho lies like a hedge*hog roiled up the wrong way, tormenting himself with his prickles.'

organ has opened ifs lips about Gen. Scott's affiliation with those Democrats of Rochester, New York, in 1839 when he aproved of their project of putting him up for the Presidency, accepted their platform of anti-Bank. &c., and declared that he was a JefTersonian Democrat and not only supported General Jackson's administration, but had carried it through on his back. We published this interesting little piece of his history a short time since, but lest our whig friends should forget it. we will refresh their memories on the subject.— It is fortunate for iho whig party that this affair occurred before G"sn. Scott's 'opinions' became 'convictions,* as t^iey grew to be in '51, and continued to be in '44, when he was in favor of a ''total repeal of the naturalization laws."

In 1839 a number of Democrats of Rochester, New York being dissatisfied with Mr. Van Buren. resolved to put forward General Scott as a candidate for the Presidency. The}' accordingly nominated him. adopting at' the same time as their platform the entire recognized creed of the Democratic party. The Rochester Daily Sun was their organ and bora at the head of its columns the following ticket and platform:

FOR PRESIDENT.

WIN FIELD SCOTT.

"Principles of the Scott republican party: one presidential term no interference in elections by government officers a uniform currencey of gold arid silver an independent ireasury under the exclusive control of Congress opposition to monopolies, to irredeemable shin-plasters, and to fraudulent banking."

As a proof that General Scott accepted this nomination "with the resolutions annexed," we give the following editorial of the Rochester organ

From the Rochester Daily Sun of October 1839. •'Last evening we had the pleasure of a vist to Gen. Scott, together with the other members of the Committee of eighteen, who reported the Platform of principles, at the Democratic Republican meeting of the 16th ult., at which he was nominated for the Presidency. He was occupying rooms at the Eagle Hotel, and looking well. We felt highly complimented by being told by him that he received and read the Sun regularly, and endorsed its principles. He expressed to our committee, distinctly, and most emphatically his entire approbation of the movement by which he had been put forth in jhis cily as the DEMOCRATIC candidate for the Presidency. He acknowledged his obligations to our committee, and to the

meeting for the honor they had conferred upon him, .said if he should ever reach the White House, he should owe his elevation to our bold energetic movement in his behalf, as it had turned the eyes

been a DEMOCRAT, of the JefTersonian School, and adhered lo then Virginia Resolutions of '08, that he approved the principles of Gen. Jackson's administration of the country, since he cam upon the stags! of action that he did not approve the mcasutc's of Mr. Adams'administration.

We give ihe following further cotemporanoous evidence of this move of General Scotl from a Tennessee paper, which also proves that the opinion among the whig politicians of that day respecting Gen. Scott's character was the same as it was in '48, wlmn one of them, who is now supporting him wilh all his zeal, said he was "a vain conceited coxcomb, whose brains if he had any, were all in his epaulettes." From the Eliz-ibsthtown (Tciin.) Whig of Oct. 31,'39. ••The Pennsylvania Argus, a sort of halt and half concern, in politics conies out in favor of Gen. Scott as the Whig candidate for the Presidency, at the National Convention of Whigs, to meet in ilarrisburgh on the 4th of December next. That Convention will Dominate Henry Clay, as it ought lo do. Gen. Soott is just one of those vain, selfconceited military men, who will never get our humble support. Besides he is no Whig, and if he were, he is not a Statesman. He will do lo write a book on military tactics, but not to write Presidential Messages. But a few weeks ago, we noticed his nomination by a Democratic Convention in New York, by certain Jacksonitcs ol Rochester, who want none but Military Heroes. Give us the immortal Clay, and lo this prayer, ihe whigs of Tennessee all cry amenl"

LOVE THAT RICH BROGUE.*

In reference to the Cleaveland speech of General SCOTT, the

Hudson Frermatt

thus touches off ill blarney:—

That "brogue" you've beard two score years every whit, And not loved it before, a d—1 a bit. *f "I love that rich brogue." You love It how* wetT, Let your long spoken sentiments houeatly tell— You would welcome as here from Krin's green land, But la makiag yer lawa, you'd give aa no haad.

"I fore that rich brogue." Did you love ft when So indignantly "fired," you snatched up your pen, In the Afttor House parlor, aud earnestly wrote, That Irishmen were not deaerviug a vote?

"I love that rich brogue." Ahl you loved it indeed, When you gave your assent to an infamous creed, When you claimed of that party, the leader lo be. Who would take fom the Irish, their right to be free.

Did you love *V?*at rich brogue," when you told u* your milld T^p repea' "Aturalizatlon inclined No matte untw daciut or houest men we, That Paddy should never a citlzcu be?'^

the rest of the year.

"I love that rich brogue." When did you begin? When Greeley told you, you could*nt in. That you never could sit in the President's Chair, If you could'nt get Patrick to help put you there.

You love it as well perhaps, you'll be owiaiu', Faith afther election in the nioruin', When for President Pierce, it falls on your ears, That same "rich brogue" in throe illigant ctieors.

"I love that rich brogue." No doubt, Misther Scott, Our votes you'd love better still, would you not? NowGiu'rel be aisy, quit coaxing nnd tazing, When Pat's sfter voting, it's himself he'll be ptaziug.

We have frequently been led to reflect on the danger arising to our country from the establishment among us of a military aristocracy, and therefore feel a deep interest in the important suggestions of the following article, which we copy from the Boston Times "We do not wish to be understood as attempting to detract one iota from the praise justly due to General Scott, but while we make this declaration we own that his private sentiments are antirepublican and dircctly in opposition to the spirit of our institutions. His whole education may safewhole ly be said to have been obtained ii: the army. His whole thoughts are military—mlitary discipline, military evolutions, military habits, military occupation—nothing but military. It is well known thatoneofour cardinal principles, nnd not the

Blitz and tho Fire AmxihUator.

The recent successful experiment with the fire annihilators has reminded us of some circumstances connected with tho first exhibition of them in New York, and t|hich caused a fued between P. T. Barnura and fsignor Blitz, so weH known for his ventriloquial powers, his skill in training birds, and his extraordinary feels in Natural Magic.— Barnum had invited the Signor to bo pressnt (in New York) at an experimantal exhibiton, in which he was interested, of the machines that put out a great fire with a great smoke. The great deceiver was al hand—a little man dressed ia black, with iron gray hair, and a restless, observant eye—and he mingled in the cowj unrecognized.

The temporary structure in which the fire was to be kindled, and then annihilated, was about fifteen feet square, and one story and a half high.— There was an upper floor, but no stairs. as none were needed. The carpenter who had nailed it down had merely left & hole by which he descended afar performing hisj^b.

A large concourse of people assembled to witness the experiment, which was to come off a little after dark. The spectators examined at their leisure the building and the queer looking cans that contained Barnuni's gas, ready to be let forth to arrest the progressoftlut 'devouring element,' which, to use the stereotyped language of the insurance companies,'often sweeps away in a low hours the hard earnings of many years.'

Professor Colton at last mounted a stand, and explained to the assembly the principals of the annihilatcr, and set fourth the immense benefits that would accrue from it to ail combustible communities.

Barnum was around and although he had been searching for his friend Blitz, that wily professor of deviltry dodged the great showman aud remained invisible.

At length everything was ready, A heap of highly combustible matter had been prepared on the middle of the floor, and an assistant was proceeding to set fire to it, when all in the vicinity were startled by a cry from tie upper room of the building— •Don't! Dnn't! Let me out! Don't! burn me up!' 'Stop!' shouted a police, oflicr, 'there's a man in tho loft.'

The master of ceremonies stepped into tho building, and ordered the intruder to jump down. •1 can't (hie) gel down, said the voice. 'Some drunken fool has got up there wilh his bottle.'said Barnum. in atone of vexation. *0. fur a Maine liquor law in these diggings! Somebody must go up and haul the fuller down.'

A siicli of timber was procured and placed in a slanting position, and a policeman managed to crawl up into the atlio. 'Hallo, here! Come out of this!' said the oflijer, poking about with his stick. But to his suppose, he found no one there. After .satisfying himself that the place was vacant, the officer came down, muttering curses upon the whole affair.

Again did the torch bearer approach to light pile, and again the voice sounded from tho upper room. 'Let me out, I sa-ay! Con-demn (hie) yer piclers, will ye burn a foll'r alive? Let me out! Let me ou-u-ut!' •Stop!' shouted Barnum to the torch bearer, 'this won't do. Mr. Collon, will you send a man up into the building who has his senses about himf Send hin quickly too.'

Another person now ascended to the loft, which he examined by the light of a lantern that was passed up to him, und he likewise reported the place empty.

A short pausa now took placo, during which the spectators bSgan to manifest great impatience, and their cries beban to ill 1 the air. •Humbug!' 'A Barnum humbug!' 'The thingumbob won't work!' 'Woolly Ilorso' 'Joice ileth!' •Mer-m-a-i-d!'

These were some of the unploasant words that assailed Barnum's ear in the great babblement that was rising like the roar of waves around him. 'Have a little patience, geutlemeA and we'll proceed.' stid he. •Weil, yer kin proceed but yer can't succeed,' growled a member of old Forty-Two's company.

The torch was now applied to ihe tar and rosin, and, as the flames began to curl up, a number of voices sounded distressfully from all parts of tho building. It was apparently half full of men. Pigs also began lo squeal as if their bristles were scorched, but Barnum now took the hint. He recognized some of the %ery sounds that the great ventriloquist had produced in his office that afternoon, and he exclaimed in high dudgeon— •That curscd Blitz has made all this trouble! I'll give his iron gray locks an extra kink, If 1 ever catch him.'

The Signor's ventriloquism in reality did more mischief than he intended, for it is probably owing to the confusion he created that the experiment proved a failure.

Barnum has not forgiven Blitz to this day although the waggish Signor is confileot that if he can get the great showman into one of his Armory Hall entertainments, he can conjure all the anger from his breast, and restore their former friendly relations..,

Politeness in Dnnning.

An old gentleman had owed a firm for years, at last, after everybody's patience and temper were exhausted, a ,clerk named Frank undertook lo get the money.

Frank called upon ihe gentleman, and met with a polite reception, and the usual answer, with the addition, 'You need not trouble yourself young man, about the matter

•Oh, no,' replied Frank, '1 could not think for a moment of compelling you to call at the store for a few dollars, it will not be the slightest inconvnnience for me to stop in, as I pass your place of business six times a day, to and from my meals, aod 1 can call every time 1 go by.* •Here,' said the old fellow to his book Wper. alarmed at Uie prospect of being dunned six time* a day for ihe next six months, 'pay this impertinent rascal.

A Wonderful Iog.

Mr M'lnlir». patent mangle manufKoturer. Regent Bridge, Edinburgh, has a dog of the Newfoundland breed, crossed with some? other, named Dandte. whose sagacious qualifications aro truly astonishing and almost inoredible.

AVhen Mr. M. is in company, how numerous soever il may be, if he but yftvs to the dog, "Dandie. bring me my hat." ha immediately pioks out the hat from all the others, and puts it in his master's hands A pack of cards being scat-red in the room, if his master has previously selected one of thcin, ihe dog will find il out aud bring it to him.

Ono evening, some gentlemen being in company, one of them accidentally dropped a shilling on the floor, which after the most careful search could not be found. Mr. M. seeing his dog sitting in the corner and looking as if quite unconcioua of what was passing, said to him Dandie, find us the shilling and you shall havo a biscuit.'* The dog immediately jumped upon a table, and laid down the shilling, which ho had previously picked up without having been perceived.

One time having been left in a room in the house of Mrs. Thoinas High-street, he remained quiet tor a considerable lime but as no one opened the door he became impatient and rang the bell, and when the servant opened ihe door, she was supprised to find the dog pulling the bell-rope. Shoe that period, which was ihe first time he was observed to do il. he pulls the bell whenever he is desired and what appears still more remarkable, if there is no bell-rope in the room, ho will examine iho table, and if he finds a hmd-bctl, ho tikes il in his mth and rings it.

Mr. M. having one evening sapped with a friend on his return home, as it was rather late, no found all tho family in bed. He could not find his boot jack in tho place where it usual lay, nor could he find it any where in tho room after the strictest search, lie then said to his dog—"Dandie, 1 cannot find my boot ick—search for it." The faithful animal, quite sensibleofwh.it had been said to him, scratching at the room door, which his mister opened. Daudie proceeded to a distant part ofihe lious?, and soon returned, carrying in his mouth the boot jack which Mr. M. now recollected to have left that morning under a sofa.

A number of gentlemen. w»dl acquainted with Dandie. aro daily in llio habit of giving him a panuy. which ho takes to a baker's s:iop, and purclnuMS broad for himself. Ono ul these gentlemen who lives in James' Square when passing some timo ago, was accosted by indie, in the expectation of his usual preasent. Mr.

then sai to him—"I

have not a penny wilh mo to day, but I havo ono at home." Hiving relumed to his house soino tune after, he heard a noise at the door, which was opened by the servant, when in sprang Dandie to receive his present, lua frolic Mr. T. gavuhima bad one, when lie, as usu.d, carried it to ihe baker, but was refused his bread, as the money was bad. Ho immediately returned to Mr. T.'s. knocked at tnc door, and when the servant opened it, laid the penny down at her feet, aud walked ofT, seemingly in ihe greatest contompt.

Although D*ndie, in general, makes on immediate purchase of bread with the money ho receives, yet the following circumstanoos clearly demonstrate that he possess5.1 more pruJent foresight than many who aro reckoned rational beings.

One Sunday, when il was very unlikely that he could have receive a present of noy, D.in lie was observed bringing home a loaf. Mr. M. being somewhat supprised at this, desired ill servant to searsh the room and sec if anv money oould bo found. While she was engaged in this task, tho dogs jeina uncon jorne nil she appro ic'i j.l tho bed. when he ran lo her and drew her from it.-— Mr. M. ihen sicured thodog.which kept struggling and growling, while the servant wont under tho bed, where she found seven pence half-penny under a hii oi cloth hut from that time he could never endure Ihe girl, and was frequently observed lo hide the money in a corner ol saw-pit, under tho ust.

Wlien Mr. M. has company, if ha deairjs the d.ig to sea any one oflhc gentlemen home he will walk wilh him till he reach his home, and then ruturn to his master's how greal soever the distance in iy be. —Scotch paper.
