THE SCOTT GATHERING AT NIAGARA. This tremendous out-pouring of the people came off at Niagara, in honor of the terrible conflict at Luudy's Lane, in Canada, July 25, 1814. The PEOPLE were out, and the greateat enthusiasm prevailed. The accounts state that the procession paraded through the principal streets of Niagara, to music of several bauds, and proceeded to a grove where platforms were erected—the principal one in a beautiful national amphitheatre, around which were ten or twelve thousand, including many elegantly dressed ladies. There was another platform at a short distance surrounded by 3 or 4 thousand. Each audicnce was encircled by the mifitary, and formed a beautiful spectacle while checra and counter cheers ra^de the scene inspiriting in the highest degree.

On a large platform were seated Hon. Thomas Ewing, President, and one Vice President from each State. Ewing received much applause. After prayer by Hev. Mr. Mines, the President addressed the meeting in an argumentative and able speech. Gov. Hunt, Henry Winter, Davis of Maryland, and Col.Schouler, of Massachusetts, followed. The speakers at the small platform wera Horace Greeley, Robert Winthrop, and Gen. Jessup, of Pa. Gov. Jones of Tennessee, and Christopher Morgan, of New York, arrived amid shouts and cheers.

The military were reviewed by Gov. Hunt —a splendid display. More than eighty thousand spectators present. After parade, speeches were made in the grove by Gov. Jones and others.

The evening meeting in the park was largely attended. Speeches by Daniels of Wisconsin, J. H. Bradley, of Indiana, Jos. Blunt, of N. Y. Judge Johnson, of Ohio, and other prominent men.

All the Hotels were filled, and the whole country covered with people. As usual in such crowds, pick-pockets were busy, many of whom were arrested. Great enthusiasm prevailed with the vast concourse of people.

O- Lay! MR asldo "virtuous indlguatiun" and all our "ungovoruaMc fUry,"

beg leave to make a sugges

tion for the benefit of our neighbor of the Journal.— He wishes to bo Prosecutor In thin district, and apprehending ho might possibly And himself in a place uot entirely comfortable to him all the time, (if he •hould be nominated and elected,) we suggest he land bettor not strike so high, but moderate his ricslros so much as to accept the I'rosccutorship for this county in tho Court of Common Pleas. If his law-partner should happen tu be the Judge of that Court, they can drive along swimmingly, eacli sustaining the other.— The Prosacutor's indictments would then have some chance befure the Court, and by a mutual understanding and a kind feeling, they might convict those brought before them, nolens volens.

We await a kind response to this kind proposition, and as our neighbor thinks we can say who shall run, and who a kali nat, lie will doubtless have mxcA confl dence In anything emenatlng from tkit quarter, which he is pleased to think Is one of undisputed authority! Wo hope no thanks will bo offered us until It Is seen how the experiment works, for it is now only an experiment, to servo a needy legal friend.

NOT* BISK.—TO be very candid with our neighbor upon this subject, he must not suppose that we would positively vote for him, or give him our very humble influence at the polls. He must consider us free to rots for any other candidate, (a whig.) whom we might apprehend would make a better Prosecutor than himself. This Is all the dictation we wish to exercise.

HORRIDLK DEATH.—The Louisville papers mention the death of Mr. Emory Low, of the firm of Emory Low Co., of (hat city. On the 92d inst., near tho corner of Main and Jackson streets, where he owned several hou-

THE RATIFICATION MEETING!

Thursday, the 12th Inst.,

is named for the Whig Ratification meeting at Terre-Haute. We understand from the committee, that Messrs. Marshall, Dunn, Lane, Linder and Ewing,have been invited the three last named gentlemen have promised to be on hand. We hope the Whigs will remember the time, and exert themselves to have a large turn out. Any man might afford to ride 24 miles, or more, in any weather, to hear a good Scott speech.

The remembrance of the illustrious standardbearer of the Whig party in the present canvass, who has shown his love of country from the frozen North to the arid South, ought to bring together, on this occasion, every freeman and well-wisher of his country, to give merely simple justice to one of the prominent men of the times—one who never turned his back while he had a foe of his beloved Republic in the front. We hope to see the occasion go off finely, with the whig fires brightly burning, and the armor on every whig soldier, ready for battle.

Turn out, freemen, for one day only. For this occasion the following committee of arrangements has been appointed, to-wit:

G. Foster Smith, George F. Lyon, James M. Riddle, Dr. Wm. L. Mahan, David Hartsock, B. B. Moffatt, D. W. Minshall, and P. B. Brown.

We are requested to ask a meeting of this Committee at the Court House, on this (Wednesday) afternoon at 4 o'clock. We hope they will ALL be on hand.

PL O.VACIOUS WIIIO !—Ex-Go v. Jones of Tennessee, the honorable member of Congress, who declared recently in Philadelphia that be intended 'to tear the buttons off of Gen. Pierce's regimentals,' made a display of spunk on Wednesday. in the Pension Office at Washington, by beating with a chair a clerk named Van Wyck.—Journal.

We believe the Journal has bid the truth a final farewell for this canvass. If the editor ever did know any thing, he ought to have known that Ex-Gov. JAS. C. JONES, whig Senator from Tennessee, had nothing whatever to do with the fight above detailed, but that Geo.

IV. Jones, a locofoco member of the House, from the 5th Tennessee district, is the man who struck Van Wyck with a chair.

Most any gentleman would suppose that, in stating a simple fact, the Journal would tell the truth, but it seems from the above, that the editor must bo always watched—in all cases and as he refuses to take back or offerany apology for his statement of "four majority" for Scott, we do not expect he will offer any apology for his slander upon Ex-Gov. Jones. He seems to be loose—let him go it.

0° Mr. 0. P. DAVIS, the Pierce and King olector for this district, is already out among the people. He has made appointments for Point Commerce, Bloomfield and Linton, in Greene county. As the whig elector is now absent, but will be at limine shortly, could not the contingent whig elector attend to Mr. Davis for a few weeks? We should like to hear of some whig travelling with Mr. 0. P. Davis, just to see that lie keeps to the text. That is all that would be necessary.

O* See Milton Gregg's exposition (from the books) of the enormous expenditures of our recent session of the Legislature. It will be found on our first page, and will astonish every reader, when it is compared with the expenses under whig rule.

!L/" We are glad to inform the Journal that Gen. Scott did not attend tho celebration at Niagara, as was reported he would in the news papers. Wo inform the editor of this fact, to make him think better of Scott,—as the General would be miserable, perhaps, if he knew the Journal man thought meanly about him.

Wo expect to conduct this canvass frankly, fairly, and fearlessly, and all the bullying of Mr. A. P. WILL.IBO, or any of the parties concerned, will not alter our course in ihe least. We wish them distinctly to understand, in the outset, that we are not to be silcnccd by threats and menaces in the streets, nor turned aside from the path of duty, by coarse vituperation, unbecoming the character of a gentleman.—N. Albany Tribune.

If Willard has been descending to bullying or threatening editors, it is a fair sign that Williams is about to beat him. Mark it.

TO THE WHIGS OF VIGO.

On. Saturday, the 21st- inst., the Whigs haTe proposed to have a county Convention, to nominate candidates for all the county offices.— What has been done in the country towards accomplishing such an end Troubles thicken upon us every day, and the sooner this question is put to rest, the better will it be for us. More and more whig candidates are declaring themselves, and every new candidate increases the difficulties to be surmounted. The other side of the political house are "laying low,' but thev are not quite asleep and when it is too late to retract, Wellington's words at Waterloo, up guards, and at them," will repeal a man for every office, and we shall meet the enemy, and be conquered—horse, foot and dragoons. Is not this a plain picture, the way matters and things now stand Is it not too true to be trifled with longer?

But how can all of this be obviated—that is the question We kuow of no better or surer plau than by taking counsel of the enemy.— Let us do as they do. Let us have a general Convention, make good nominations, and then go to work for the success of the wfiole ticket. As we have a Governor in the field above all, as Gen. Scott is at the very head of the ticket, we think in all conscience, a good county ticket, fairly put in nomination, would certainly be fully and successfully sustained. We hope and think so.

In another place will be found the proceed ings of the township meeting in Lost Creek.— Ten whigs, good and true, have been appointed, and will be on hand. Let all of the other townships at once hold their meetings, and nominate their delegates, and we shall not des pair of ultimate success. Whigs, see to it.— We have no interest above the humblest voter. We wish only to secure the largest vote for Scott and Graham, and McCarty and Williams, and with union, we know we shall have greater poll than if we have no concert of action and as Vigo is a whig county, she is entitled to a majority of whig county officers.— Lost Creek is the./?r«/ to 6peak let all the other townships at once follow suit.

O" We find the following items in the Indi ana Statesman: REPEAL OF THE BLACK LAWS.—The Legislature at its recent session, repealed all the black laws on the Statute-book, placing the black population on the same footing with whites, as to giving testimony, and in some other respects. The repeal was very near a unanimous vote. The bill was introduced by Mr. King, of Jefferson.

What tfre the "other respects," Dr.? A slave, belonging to a gentleman in Covington, Ky., returned voluntarily to his master last week, after an absence of a year. He preferred his former bondage to being his own master, without means to support his new situation.

He must have been rather a lazy nig. Judge A. J. Cotton, who has been honored by the democracy of Dearborn county, with the office of Probate Judge, a position vastly above his capacity, declares his intention to run as an independent candidate for Judge of Common Pleas. The sooner the party is rid of such a disorgauizer, the better.

This is the way the other party manage their refractory members. They must have serfs freemen are eutirely too free for them. So it appears.

TOWNSHIP ASSKSSOKS.—It is perhaps not generally known, that under the new assessment law, an assessor is to be elected in every township in the State, at the October election. We hope the matter will be generally noticed by the press.

Is it a vote by townships, or by general ticket?

STICKS TO IT.—Wo have called on the Journal repeatedly, to take back its untruthful charge, that SCOTT was nominated by the "miserable majority of four votes." This has not been done, but in the last paper, the "fellow says:

It makes little difference as to how much was the actual majority, as it took FIFTY-THREE hard fought rounds to secure him a nomination at all, and then only by the "skin of his teeth

So then, the four majority, in other words, means by the "skin of his teeth," and as there is no skin upon the teeth, that phrase means absolutely nothing—Scott's majority then was nothing, according to the Journal's showing.

We brand the Journal's statements with the truth, as follows: On the last ballot in the whig convention, Scott had 159 votes, Fillmore 112, and Webster 21. This gives Gen. Scott a majority of 10 over enough to nominate him, 13 over half the number of votes cast, 47 majority over Fillmore, 133 over Webster, and 26 over both of them together.

Will the Journal still contend for his "miserable four"? We look for nothing better from that quarter.

DVSE.NTERT.—This disease prevails to a considerable extent at the present time and in some cases has terminated fatally. The following prescription comes from a respectable and reliable source and, as it is easily procured, its publication we hope will be the means of affording relief to many sufferers:

Messrs. Editors:—I have had so many proofs of the efficacy of the following prescription for the cure of diarrhoea or dysentery, in all their various stages, that I am inducetl to offer it to vou for insertion, that others may enjov the benefits of so simple and safe a remedy. Take three gills of good cider vinegar, add as much salt as it will dissolve then add three drachms of laudanum, (three spoonsfull,) and the same quantity of camphor sake them well together it is then ready for use. Take one table spoonfull at intervals of 15 or 30 minutes, or one hour, according to the violence of the disease. In the first staires of the attack, I have known

GEORGIANS COXING TO THE RESCUE.—It is now stated, on reliable authority, by the Georgia Citizen, that Judge Berrien and Judge Law, of Savannah, and Judge Warren, of Baker, have declared in favor of Gen. Scott. The people too are moving in every direction. At Macon, an enthnsiastic meeting in favor of Scott has been held, which was addressed by Hon. J. J. Scarborough, G. T. P. Smith, and Col. A. H. Kennan.

Ax OXEX FOE THE DEXOCXACT.—The eloquent Thomas F. Marshall, who has voted for the successful candidates for the Presidency for the three last elections is an ardent supporter

one of the of Gen. CASS, have come out

The dictatorial sample of hnmanity, who does up the editing of the Express, has nis virtuous indignation aroused to a most ungovernable fury, because so many whigs have had the audtcily to present their names as candidates for the Judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas, in spite of his advice to the contrary.— Good whigs must back out of their position, because a whig editor has the unwarrantable assurance to say, "You shan't so many run for the office, a dirty locofoco will beat you all."— A mere whig editor must take upon himself the responsibility of dictating to freemen who shall, and who shall not run for office 1 What if a multiplicity of whig candidates should be the cause of electing a locofoco? We guess the candidates and the PEOPLE can see the tendency of this, as well as the all-seeing and allknowing Express editor. Has this party dictatorship of our neighbor's been conferred upon him by general consent, or is it self-consti-tuted If the former, we must say that our opinion of Vigo whiggeiy is rather limited.— Journal.

As clear as mud, and told in that style of vapid, flatulent stolidity, so common in the Journal editorials since the opening of the present canvass. We could not do less than copy the whole of the above, that our readers may see how anxious the Journal is to keep the four whig candidates in the field for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, just to have them all beaten! for which the editor would almost give one of his Coal black eyes. It is known that his law partner has an immense hankering after the chair of the Common Pleas Judge, and if the editor can induce all the whigs now out, to keep the track, the thing is as easy to slay them all, "as rolling off of alog"—just as easy henco the extreme solicitude of the Journal editor.

The first paragraph of the Journal's article, contains near half-a-dozen flat fibs, as follows We have offered no dictation about any candidate for any office we have shown no indignation upon any such subject, nor have we exhibited any "ungovernable fury we have said nothing about the audacity of any candidate for any office, nor have we given nny advice to any candidate in the field, especially those running for Judge of Common Pleas.

The next paragraph contains an arrant forgery, almost plain enough to subject the writer to the pains and penalties belonging to such high crimes. It puts down with a quotation, this language, attributed to us, and as applied by us to the whig candidates, "You shan't so many run for the office, a dirty locofoco will beat you all." This, the Journal puts forth as what we have said. We have published no such a sentence, as the editor well-knows, and we are astouished at the unblushing effrontery of his quotation. Instead of the editor being a candidate for Prosecutor, he ought to look around and see if he is not making himself a candidate for one of the prosecuted. He certainly seems to be leaning that way.

The next sentence says we have taken upon ourself "the responsibility of dictating to freemen who shall, and who shall not run for office." This is a most unblushing charge, and flatly false. We ask the Journal editor to name the person to whom we have said, "you shall run for an office, or you shall not run."— Name thetn, or take back all of such charges, as you know they are untrue.

The Journal article altogether, is very transparent. The editor's law partner wants to be a Judge, and there is no probability of such a thing without a multiplicity of whig candidates can be kept in the field. If that can be done, the meditated misfortune would be quite certain, and while we labor to prevent such injury to our new Constitution and laws, our illnatured neighbor charges us with dictation, ungovernable fury, and impertinent advice!— When he makes any thing by such a course, he will please inform us. We will try and see that the whig party may not. injure themselves, nor that the "dirty locofoco" spoken of by the Journal, be foisted upon a people who do not want any of his legal ability.

In simple justice to us, can't the Journal copy our article upon which it comments, to show its readers our dictation, "virtuous indignation," and "ungovernable fury"? Or is the editor afraid that folks would see his transparent flummery.

SOMETHING BREWING.—The last Journal contains the names of the delegates to the BowlingGreen Convention to meet on the 10th inst.— We hear that the printed proceedings, contain from this township, four delegates that were not named by the meeting, and that said four prefer a certain man over a certain other, for a certain office. How is it?

Will the Journal tell the names that have been smuggled in for certain ends, or will it call upon us to give names? Take choice.— The democracy knows the editor's preferences, and they are watching out for all advantages to be taken. Be careful.

D* It should be remembered that Scott received his first commission from Jeffersou was subsequently promoted and finally offered the post of Secretary of War by Madison enjoyed the confidence of Adams was commissioned to allay the storm of Nullification by Jackson and was deputised by Van Buren to quell the tempest on our North-eastern border. The most important services which Gen. Scott has rendered his country have not been rendered on the battle-field.

THE BALLOON ASCENSION.—Mr. Paullin's recent balloon ascension from Indianapolis was very successful. He went up 10,000 feet, sailed 25 miles in one hour and ten minutes, and landed safely, five miles south of Greenfield.— A man saw the balloon, and thinking it was soir.e strange wild bird, fired at it but it was too high up to be reached by the bullet. Mr. P. ought to come over this way for his next ascension.

P. S—Mr. Paullin is now in town, making preparations for an ascension from this place. Of course, every body will be on hand. The time will be made known hereafter.

U" The Senate has adopted the resolution of the House, fixing the 31st Augnst an the day of adjournment. So, then, we are glad to know that Congress will not be in session the whole year.

THE EXTRADITION CASS.—The United States Marshal, of New York, has received from W. Hunter, acting Secretary of Slate, an order to deliver op the fugitive, Thomas Kaine, to the British Consul.

O* The Governor of Louisiana has appointed Mr. Dunbar, a distinguished member of the New Orleans bar, as Judge of the Supreme Court of that State, vice Judge Preston, deceased.

0* It is said that there will be another medical school established in Cincinnati. The reason assigned for it is that Dr. Mossy was left out of the present Ohio college.

Peculation.

The New Albany Tribune is sorely probing among the enormous expenses of the late locofoco Legislature, and bringing many things to light which will astonish the voters. Among others is an item of about $600 00 paid to Dr. Sherrod without the slightest authority of law. The State Auditor says "We know that he (Dr. Sherrod) was in the city (Indianapolis,) during a portion of the session, that he was a delegate to the Baltimore Convention, and that he received advances from the State Treasury to the amount of several hundred dollars, but without any agency of ours."

Is this not a beautiful confession? Dr. Sherrod had advances from the State Treasury to the amount of several hundred dollars, yet the State Auditor gave no order or warrant to draw said money I Then how, ot by what means did Sherrod get the money, when none can draw money from the Treasury legally, without the Auditor's warrant? We hope there is no secret service fund at Indianapolis, kept to pay pet favorites of the party in power, yet it seems Dr. Sherrod handled about $600, and if the Auditor knows nothing of it, where did it come from?

The party must answer for it, for if such things are permitted the books will not balance, and some innocent person might be brought into the scrape. We hope Dr. Ellis will help Mr. Gregg search this matter out.

In relation to this money paid Dr. Sherrod, the Bedford Standard has the following: "We have it from a leading and confidential Democrat of the county, who has had the best opportunity of knowing the true facts in the case, who was an officer of the Legislature during the xcltole session, that the sum stated above paid to that pretended clerk, was a "perfect swindle" upon the State—that the services rendered by him (if any) were merely nominal, and not such as justified the Principal Secretary in certifying to the Seuate the sum which he has paid him." »5

STEAMER BUSKED, AND LOSS OF LIFE. NEW Yonx, July 28. The Henry Clay took fire two miles this side Yonkers. She was from Albany, with 150 passengers. 12 or 15 were certaiuly lost among them wife and three children ot one of the West Point professors one child burned on board, and another died in the cars on road to city. Two ladies drowned bodies taken ashore. One woman hung over the railing, with a child in her teeth, until she was so badly burned that she dropped in the water the child was drowned, but the woman saved, although shockingly burned the child was a stranger to the woman. Many women and children are still missing.

The boat caught fire at 4 o'clock, amidships. She was five miles ahead of her time, racing she was entirely consumed bagga&e mostly saved.

LATER.—The boat was racing, as first stated. The passengers remonstrated, but were told that there was no danger, just before the fire broke out.

The House took up the river and harbor bill, appropriating over $1,489,000 to various objects, and passed by a vote of 103 to 75.— Among the appropriations are $30,000 for Michigan City, St. Josephs$10,000,and Cleveland $30,000.

fpHIS article is entirely new and decidedly the most beautiful that has ever been manufactured in the wny of a Mat.

The surface is of pure gold, and more exquisitely chased than the most costly gold lockets.

Wherever they are seen they excite the utmost enthusiasm by their extraordinary beau ty, and at once take preference over any thing else as a setting for a fine dnguerreotype, from 1-15 covering, to the whole size, tfXlO for frames.

That Daguerreans may not be deceived, I would state that all genuine Crescent plates have ray name stamped on them, and are much heavier than any other Freneh Plate.

The Star 40th Plate. Th6 Sun and Eagle Plate French Plates 20th and 30th, (quality guaranteed.)
