_ One more triumph—-the crowning glory ot

just commenced. “ Confound your long legs,

Of North Carolina.
THE NOMINATION.
The readers of the Gazette are well aware
that our preferences in regard to a candidate
for the Presidency have been strongly in favor
of~DANir:i. W1-zns-rrzn. While we deemed his
nomination it matter of justice to himself, we
were far more controlled in our feelings by the
conviction that such a result would redonnd to
the highest good of the country. But the Con-
, vention has decided otherwise and we acqui-
esce. The name of the great statesma_n-the
eloquent , orator—-the mighty reasoner, now
takes its place among the monuments of a by-
gone generation; but as time rolls on, and men
turn their eyes toward those monuments,
among them all there will be found none--none
which, in simple, lofty, majestic. enduring
grandeur, may equal that on which is curved
the plain words. DANIEL Wi~:ns'rr:a.'
The candidate of the great National \Vhig
Party for the next Presidency of the United
States is \Vinrtr:1.n Sco'r'r. Of course our
readers will not expect us to give a detail of his
life. His name and fame are inseparably con-
nected wilh the history of our country, and the
student of American military annals will find
them, for now forty years, little more than a
narrative of his campaigns and his triuinphs.—
The failings of Gen. _Scott are those peculiar to
a military man ; his virtues and his talents have
been displayed as well in civil as in warlike
emergencies. There has been one epochwhen
civil war seemed actually at hand. Nullification
had become rampant; the cities and villages of
South Carolina were alive with the troops call-
ed out by Gov. Hayne to resist the execution
of the laws of the United States. Gen. JACK-
s0N.l'J seeking for one who might fitly be in-
trusted with the most delicate duty which either
a civilian or a soldier could be intrusted with,
fixed his choice upon Gen. Scott, and forthwith
to him was commited the command of the gov-
ernment forces in Charleston harbor. The
firmness, the coolness, the courtesy with which
the duty was discharged, and which contributed,
so much to ward off the national danger, are
unsurpassed in the history of any man, of any
nation,
, So too in the threatening aspect of affairs on
the Canadian frontier, and in the North East-
ern. boundary difiiculties, Gen. Scott was the
first person sent, not to fight simply, but to ne-
gotiate, and it is owing to the united efibrts of
Scott and “lobster that the country escaped a
desolnting war with England.
In military story, so long as Lundj/'3 Lane
and Chippewa, Vera Cruz, Ccrro Gordo, Cher-
ubusco, Jllolino dcl Key, M rtxrco, shallbe re-
membered names, will the genius, the valor,
and the patriotism of Winfield Scott be known
and honored throughout the earth.
WILLIAM A. GaAnA2n of North Carolina, the
gallant son of a gallant State, has won for him-
self worthy laurels, in whatever position he has
been placed. Governor of North Carolina,
Senator ofthe United States, now Secretary of
the Navy—never has one stain tarnished his
fair fame, and well may the Whigs rejoice in
such a candidate.
SCOTT AND GRAHAM--from every
nook and corner of the land comes up the irre-
sistible tide of popular applause which is hear-
ing them on to victor_v. Be iridividuiil prefer-
ences forgotten, private feuds extinguished,

Our friends at the other end of the line are,
we learn, entering earnestly into the work of
preparation for it becoming observance of the
4th. The committee who have the matter in
hand have been happily selected for their well
known energy and liberalily. and for the confi-
dence reposeil in them for-doing full justice to
such an occasion. Invitations have been very
freely extended to neighboring towns; in com-
pliance with these invitntions, we learn that a
company of Firemen and a. band of music is
expected from Bridgeport; the whole fire de-
partment, (including one machine.) all in prop-
er uniform ; are also to be present from
-Norwulk, and steps have been taken which
will probably lend to their being _llCC0ll'l|)l'lnl(-Dd

partiiient are also to be on hand, and we doubt
not. it large number of our citizens,imd others
along the line of the road will share in the
festivities of the day. Wu. J. HAMMI-ZRSLY,
Esq., of Hartford. we understand is to be the
orator of the day, whose talents are sufficient-
ly known to settle any question about the lite-
rary trentthiit may be expected. The I day
will close with a splendid display of fire works.
The accommodations on the road are to be
such, that our citizens may leave at ti quarter
past 8 A. M.. and half past 9 in the regular
train, and reach Danbury in time to partici-
pate »in the lobservances. Returning, trains
will leave at the usual hour, and at 5 o'clock,
P. M., and 1=(‘)in:t-he evening, and the fare for
the trip. will be put at: 75 cents.
Should the weather be. fine, the occasio n
we have no doubt, will be one of unusual inte-
rest.

The N. Y. Independent Again.
We had occasion some lime since to coin-
ment upon the vagaries of ‘the above named
paper, when its editloi-iiils _.‘ were filled wit.li
crude,but dangerous, disunion sentiments. For
the llisttyeaij its true has been altered in this
respect so as to preserve an appearance of de-
. .cency inn religious sheet.’ But" ‘therecent
nominations have again caused it I0 ll“ fl"
mask and disclose something of its real char-
acter. ---The managing editors of the I_m‘l0P°°'

Lenvitt; the first"well known, at his for-
mer_ residence in this State, as a rnbid Loco
Foco. thesecond more widely, known as an
equally rabid abolitionist. As Locofocoism.
disunionism. and Abolitionisin, are everywhere
nntral allies, we shouldlexpect that the pri-
oatc preferences of the two gentlemen above
named, would be in favor of Pierce and King,
but 'we should not expect two clergymen to
thrust {hose preferenceslupon the public, thro'
the medium of a professedly neutral religious
paper. But this is precisely what is done in
the leading editorial in the last number of the
Independent. ,We know that they might re-
ply, with seeming plausibility. “we have done
no such thing, we have only given our prophe-
cies for what they were worth, and those pro-
phecies were and are that Gen. Pierce will be
elected.” But to this we answer, you have
proplrecicd and assumed the election of the
Locofoco candidates in your article, and altho’
undoubtedly‘ extremely -reverend gentlemen,
yet you are not quite so simple as not to un-
derstand that the brag game is one of the
most efi'ective,as well as universal tricks of
electioneering. The man who told Chapman
to “crow," understood ‘ human nature, and in
the former portion of yourarticle, you. your-
selves show an uneasy sensation, that in wri-
ting and publishing such prophecies and as-
sumptions in the Independent. you are actual-
ly prostituting the columns of your paper to
the practical purposes of an electioneering
trick. .
And having answered thus, we would leave
the matter in the hands of any candid reader
of the Independent. To have a professedly
neutral secular paper eternally employed in
assaults upon the Whig party and candidates,
as is the N. Y. Herald. is bad enough, but as
that daily is now generally understood to be
the great fountain of lies in American politics,
it, after all, does little hurt, but when Locofo-
cos, and Abelitionists throwing over their shoul
dersa professedly neutral religious papal‘. Willi
solemn countenances, begin to assnil us. we
think it time to strip off from the shoulders of
the reverend genflemen, " the livery of the
court of heaven,” thus adopted “ to serve the
devil in."
Gen. Pierce-n
A Loco Foco editor at the West, who seems
to be debarred from the ordinary means of in-
formation, gives the following account of the
gentleman whose name stands at the head of
this article :
“ Gen. Franklin Pierce is a lineal descen-
dant of the Percy's, the ancient Earls of
Northumberland." The first of his line in
America of whom we have any authentic
knowledge. was that Lord Percy who was
sent by Gen.Gage from Boston, for the pur.
pose of destroying the rebel stores at Lexing-
ton and Concord. and whose masterly retreat
ul' rather scientific run from the axes and mus-
kets of the aroused Americans isso well known
in history. The exploits of Gen. Pn-znci-: in
Mexico prove him no unworthy scion of an il-
lustrious ancestry.
The subject of this sketch, we believe. was
born in 1804, which. if tru e. certainly nfibids
an instance of precocity unequalled in the un-
nals of the world, as we see by the Richmond
Enquirer that “ the democratic nominee was an
qflicer in the war of 1812.” being then only 8
years of age ! An Ohio cotemporary however
asserts that “his father was an ofiicer of the
Revolution and, he, hinzsclf, if we are not mis-
ta/:cn,_too7: C0m’7i.(1(l(I: of Gen. Pi/cc’s army af-
ter that gallant comm ana'.cr was mortally woun-
alczlal the battle of York !” Having nobooks
handy weave in this confusion of authorities
unable to give the exact date of the birth of
FRANKLIN Pirzncr-:, but we are happv to assure
our readers that we have convincing proof that
he was born at some time or other.
Gen. Pierce has been governor of one of
the New England, or other northern States,
we do not exactly know whicli, nor does it
matter much. He was also in Congress for a
time.but his native and honorable modesty pre
vented him from obtruding himself upon the
notice of the country. After the close of his
Congressional career, he went home, and, we
understand, engaged in the practice of the
law.
Upon the breaking out of the Mexican war,
Mr. Polk, who having been made president to
the /astonishment of everybody, thought he
might as well give some one else a similar
chance, gave to Mr. Pierce a generalslrip and
sent him to Mexico, in order to make him an
avzzilablc candidate. Here the invincible mod-,
esty of Gen. Pierce again distinguished itself,
insomuch, thaton one occasion when going
into battle,he was so overpowered lest he
might earn some lnurels, which would render
him an object ofnotoriety, he actually fainted
and fell from his horse befoiie a shot had been
fired. At another time, while it conflict was
raging, the same feeling drove Gen- Pierceto
seek retirement in a ditch. where, happily for
the Democratic party, both his modesty" and
personal safety were secure. -
Such,fellow citizens. is our candidatd! For
the statesmannnd soldier, unequalled alike in
peace and in war, let the unterrified Democra-
cy rally their shouting forces from Pussama-
quoddy Buy to Nootka Sound, from Rum lake
to the Okefeenokee S lviimp! Pierce and
King! now and forever! one and inseparable!

- Court Ilouse Question. : "
The order of the day on the rrrorrdng of
the 241}, was taken-, viz: the removal "of the
Fairfield County buildings. On this subjea
which has been before several previous Leg-
islatures, and has occupied the time of a se-
lect committee, during many vveeksof the
present session, there were three reports,
styled the majority and the minority reports,
and a report signed by a single member of
the committee, Mr. Sabin, which were sever-
ally read, together with the act and resolu-
tions theresyitlr connected. The reports
were considered together. , Mr.‘Cone of the
committee rnovedto concur with action of
the Senate which voted toroinove the coun-
ty scat to Bridgeport. 3
Mr. Bennett argued for Bridgeport, against
Norwallr.
Mr. M’z'nor urged the fairness of the prop-
osition of the amendment of Mr. Robinson,
to submit the question to the ballots of the '
people, and ' to make no change unless
Bridgeport or Norwalk should either of
them receivea majority of the votes. He
contended that was the only way to render
justice to the people of the County.
' A motion for the previous question, was
sustained, and the amendment was put and
carried by a vote of 107 to 89, and the bill
locating the buildings at Bridgeport, thus
amended, passed.
Messrs. Robinson and Strong were ap-
pointed a committee of Conference on the
disagreeing vote of the two Houses on the
bill locating the Fairfield County Court
House.
On Friday the 25th, it was moved by Mr.
Forrest Read that the House now reconsid-
er and concur in the vote of the Senate loca-
ting the Fairfield Co. buildings, and Mr.
Bennett immediately moved the previous
question,and on motion of Mr. F. W. Cowles
it was taken by years and nays.
Mr. Robinson was permitted to explain the
effect of the vote. If thel-louse refused to
reconsider the bill would be lost between the
two branches, and the Commissioners would
proceed to erect the buildings at Fairfineld,
according to law.
The yeas and nays stood 80 and 123, and
the House refused to reconsider and concur.
Mr. Robinson then stated that the Senate
having voted to adjourn, had finally acted up-
on the question, unless this House should take
some action which would place it again in
their hands, and the House having refused to
reconsider had taken final action, unless the
Senate should act upon itfurther. He there-
fore moved that the House insist in order that
it might be again transferred to the Senate,
which prevailed. '
The adjournment of the Legislature will’
not take place before Tuesday the 29th.
V‘Vm. Cooper, _
The Irishman, whose death we noticed
last week, it has been ascertained came to his
end in it very different manner from that sup-
posed when our foi‘mer article was penned.-
It was proved after much diligent search and
enquiry, that Cooper started from So. Nor-
walk Depot on one of the early trains, and on
reaching’ the point on the road, nearest the
place of employment jumped from the train,
receiving thereby the injuries, (11 broken arm
and fractured skull.) which caused his death
about 6 o'clock the sa me evening. The de-

Our‘ Candidates.
The names of Sco'r'r and GRAHAM will be
most enthusiastically received over the whole
nation. That they can be elected, we do not
entertain the shadow of a doubt. But to ac-
complish that most desirable object, there must
be energy, perseverance, and union on the part
ofthe Whigs. Let us then,‘ one and all, go
to work ch eerfully, industriously, effectively
for the good cause. The platform . which we
have established, is a national one——bi'oad
enough and strong enough to hold the whole
party. VVith \_Vi.\'ril:Ln Sco'r'r AND THE NA-
'l.’l0NAI. Pi.A'rroim~, we feel sure of success.-
Different individuals of tho \Vhig party may
have had their different preferences, and may
have expressed them strongly, but with such
candidates and such a platform, they can now
labor with united zeal in the common cause.

. a! convention.‘
The Whigs of the United States. in Con-
vention assembled, firmly adhering to the‘ great
conservative principles by which’ they are'con- .
trolled and governed, and now as ever relying
upon the intelligence of the Anierican people,
with an abiding confidence in their capac ity for
self government, and their devotion to the
Constitution and the Union. do proclaim the
following as the political sentiments and do‘-
termioation for the establishment and mainten-
ance of which their national organization as a
party was effected : ’
First, The Government of the United
States is of a limited character, audit is
confined to the exercise of powers expressly
granted by the Constitution, and” such’ as
may be necessary and proper for carrying
the granted powers into full execution, and
that all powers not granted or necessarily
implied, are expressly reserved to the States.
respectively and to the people. _
Second, The State Governments should
be held secure intheir reserved rights, and
the General Government sustained on its
constitutional powers, and that the union
should be watched over and revered as the
palladium of our liberties.
T/iiral, That while struggling freedom
everywhere enlists the warmest sympathy
of the Whig party, we still adhere to the
doctrines of the Father of his Country, as
announced in his Farewell Address, of keg-
ping ourselves free from all entangling alli-
ances with foreign countries, and of never
quitting our own to stand upon foreign
ground; that our mission as a republic is
not to propagate our opinions, or impose on
other countries our form of government, by
artifice or force; but to teach by example,
and to show by our success, moderation and
justice, the blessings of self government,
and the advantages of free institutions.
Fourth, That, as the people make and
control the Government, they should obey
its constitution, laws and treaties, as they
would retain their self respect, and the res-
pect which they claim and will enforce from
foreign powers.
Fifi/z, Revenue sufiicient for the expen-
ses of an economical administration of the
Government, in time of peace, ought to be
derived from a duty on imports, and not
from direct taxation; and in laying such
duties, sound policy requires a just discrimi-
nation, whereby suitablr encouragement may
be afforded to American industry, equally to
all parts of’the country.
Smith, The Constitution vests in Congress
the power to open and repair harbors, and
remove obstructions from navigable rivers,
whenever such improvements are necessary
for the‘ common defense, and for the protec
tion and facility of commerce with foreign
nations, or among the States—said improve-
mcnts being, in every instance, national and
general in their character.
Scventli, The Federal and State Govern-
ments are parts of one system, alike necessa-
iy for the common prosperity, pea'ce and se-
curity, and ought to be regarded alike with a
cordial-, habitual and inmoveable attachment.
Respect for the authority of each, and ac-
quiescence in thcjust constitutional measures
of each, are duties required by the plainest
considerations of national, state and individ-
ual welfrire.
Eigtlz, That the series of resolutions
known as the Compromise, including the

§fi§=' Rev. Daniel Robinson, of Soothing-

Times with fanaticisni, &-c , in rel'atio'n to
Whiggery and the Maine Law. His parish-
ioners held a meeting, and appointed a Com-
‘ mittee to state the facts ol‘th'e case to the pub-

“The whole article in question is a libel
on the character of a worthy minister ofthe

“hasty” life of the Locofoco nominee for
President. It is simply a great expenditure
ofswoll-en rhetoric and highfulutin to make
a great man out of a very small one. Mr.

in the city of Concord. in front of it is a
yard of beautiful green trees, and little flow-

The Fazllyiul Wife.—-What can be truer or
more beautiful than this tribute to woman?
It is from Mr. Webster's recent argument
before the Court at Trenton :
“ May it please your honors, there is noth-
ing upon this earth that can compare with
the faithful attachment ofa wife; no creature
who for the object. of her love, is so idoinita-
ble, so peiseveririg, so ready to suffer and to
die. Under the most depressing circumstan-
ces, woman's weakness becomes mighty pow-
er; her tiinidity becomes fearless courage;
all her shrinking and sinking passes away,
and her spirit acquiresthe firmness nfmarble
—adamantine firmness, when circnmstances
drive her to put forth all her energies Under
the inspiration of her affections.”

member of the House corrected it. Can it
be that no one discovered it?
