Acoording to the Louis- Ville Journal, auch is the ease in Kentucky; and Ken- toeky is but a sample of the condition of the demo- eratie party rywhere. There never was such unsuimity among the democrats since the election of | Genera) Jackeon in 1828 What is the cause of the union on the one side, and the disunion, division, and deathlike joy apathy on the other? The democrats unit- ed, in the firet place, because they were ravenously hungry for the spoils, afcer a fow years of atarvation, | and they sunk all minor considerations in viow of | the great end to be attained. Seeondly, they | upited, becaure their platform and their eandidate | were in perfeet harmony, aud General Pierse got the pomination without intriguing, or even seeking for it, and without givivg a viotory to any one elique’ or exciting the disaffection and hostility of all the | otbers. The whigs, on the contrary, wore glutted | with pap; they “‘waxed fat and kicked,” like Jeshuy | run, and therefore they became sleepy, inactives | and quarrelsome among themeelves. Domagoguos, | wi’ more ability than principle, took advantago o' thia, and fuitted upon them a candidate who had | ovly the covfidence of a section of the party, and | who was known to be under influences adverse to the platform adopted by a mujority of the Na tiopal Whig Convention at Baltimore. Tho Mepis topheles who has bewildered, distracted, and divided the whig party beyond the possibility of cure, for this election, is Wm H Seward Ho» bas served them as the late Sir Robert Peel served | the tory party in England uuder his leadership. Disrveli, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when ia the opposition in the House of Commons, told, in his own amusing way, in one of his caustic spovches, bow the Tamworth Baronet found the tories ba: hing one fine day, and ran away with their clothes, leay- ing them ina state of perfect nudity. In the same way Wm. H. Seward induced the whigs to go ino the water one warm day in June, and while they were di-porting in the waves, he adroitly atols their clothes, and tcampered off wich them, leaving Webe eter and Fillmore, and all the rest of them, in a state of terrible consternation, every one running about in every direetion in search tor his breeches. Unfortunately they have not found them up to the present hour, and it is said Seward bas now worn them eo much himself, that it is impossible to swear to their Adentity. General Scotus Stamping Campaign —Re= view of the Batile-ficids. The hero of Chippewa ard Chy paltepes has served his country in a great variety of campaigns. He bas fovght in civilized and savage warfaro—in pitched batiles'and in guerilla. Te has led to vie- tory against the British, he has conquered the Mexi- cans, and he bas been whipped by Billy Bowlegs io tbe Indian wars of Florida. Tor sake of variety, o: from some strange hallucination, he has no# en- geged in another and a very different kind of cam paign, and, what is so singular, in this, too, he has bern beaten by the great Seminole chicf The bat. tles that Genera! Soott now fights, are no longer with carnon and musket, and bayonet and sword, and grape shot and cannister, ani bembehells and ‘ villanous saltpetre,” bu’ with ‘bullets of the brain” —witn ‘ thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” It is a war oi ,betoric, and the wexpons in this dread combat are tropes and metaphors, timiles and hyporboles, apos- trophes and anthitheses, climaxes, and other formi dable figures of speech. He has already fougi: twelve battles, from Lewistown, in Ponnsylvania, to Chilicothe, in Obio, and according to the latest despatches from the General, he had carried the war into Kentucky, and was on his way to Bluo Lick, where, ne doubt, he wili make terrble havoc in the ranks of the enemy, and give a deeper meaning to the name of the place than it ever bad before—he will lick Pierce and the demo- crats till they are as blue as indigo bags, and thie memorable battle field will shine as brightly end as long on the page of history as Lundy's Lane or Waterloo. ‘Though in the Mumping campaign which Generai Scott is now fighting #0 vigorously there are no hones broken, no human hecatombs slain, not so aca drop of blood shed in avy of these hard fought battles, the General does the next best thing to the work of slaughter itself—he talks of | ‘The plomed troop. and the big wars ‘That make ambition virtue. ‘The neighing steed ag the shrill tramp, | | | from New York t» San lrancisvo, the slightest | trary, «ver ty mat are getting worse avd worss woh the w y party, and thicker clouds snd devp obree gathee around the prospest.

At Cleveland he says: “ During my melancholy cam- paign, and at other times in the discharge of the duties of my office, and during the greater part, of wy life, [have been on the march, and have almays been accustomed to be exposed myself to tho weather, and other incouveniences of camp life. * * * I Jove that Irish brogue, I have heard it before in many battles, and I wish to hear it many times more.” At Now London, he speaks of himeclf as “ ap old soldier, nearly worn out,” and his * old brother soldiers” and ** the snoveeses of our armies;” bnt says be did not come to solicit their voves—he was on a mission of public charity. At Columbus, | be speaks of “ the hardships and sufferings he has endured inthe service of hie country,” but says * the object of bis jouraey is not of a political char | acter”—heis only going to “select a site furan hoxpital | forthe worn outand fofirm soldiers.” To the Germans atthe esme place he defends himself against a para- | graph in some obseure German paper, to the effect that he had tied to one treo and flogged fifceon | Germans; and we are told by the Ohio State | Journal, a whig paper, that, “ standing at least foar | inches above the tailest of those among whom ho stood, his form seemed gigantic, as with heightened color and flashing eye, and 2 wave of his hand that expressed a calm defiance of all such assailants, he atered his emphatic protest against such avsaults as that paragraph presented.” He said—* No, | gentlemen, it is a lic, a false and groundless lic.” falso—it is a lio—an inven- tion, gentlomen—a lie” In the same epeoch the General saye—“ They aay Lhanged some Germans, and tied vp and flogged others Ceatlowon, gome | persons were hanged in Mexico: tho nomos of all of them I do not now recollect: whetbor any wore | Germans or not, Fknow not. [ war no respoctor of pertone Aynerican ox Mexican, native bom | I did heng for the crimes stated, and I would have ‘hapged an bundred seckers of inavcent blood | and violators of female chastity.’ Ho wound up by saying, that ‘‘to his life, in his couatry’s rer- vice, he need not appeal io vain forap answer now.” At Manobester, he says “‘ho is not travelling about making speeches for political purposes, but when his heart is touched hia lips refuse vo remain silent. Tbe banver spread before his eyes calied up memo- rics which always affected him. Ho thanked them for the kind weloome they had given a traveller, and | an old eoldier who had spent so msny years in the service of his country” At Maysville, he says— “T meet erowds of my couatrymen assembled to greet an old soldier. I: is a magnifivent, a glorious spectacle. You have met me, not in the charactor of a politician, but in that of # soldier, whose best days have been spent, and I trust honorably spent, jn the service of our eomaon country.” On reach- ng the hotel, he made another speech, in which he ays —“‘I have fought and bled by the side of the brave sons of Kentucky—Kontucky, famous for the valor of her troops, as for the beauty of her | davghters—Kentucky knows well. how to value a toldier.” In a third epcech, in the sane place, he speake of “the laurels won in the war of 1312-15, and of many # bard fought Held of battie,” bat con- cludes, as usual, by saying, he ‘had long ago laid down a rule never to attend party meetings, and he wes not now violating it, forhe was on a mission of public duty. His meetings with his countrymen were involuntary, but when such meetings sprung up in the path of his duty he hailed them with sa- tifaction.” It will be recollected that s0 far back as the 16th of September, when he was at Bualti- more, on his way to Pennsylvania and QOaio, it was apnounced, on authority, that ‘he would conssnt to public receptions on his route.” The battle of words at Maysville. concluded with some very tender acenes with the women, aud we are infurmed that a davghter of Goneral Morgan, ‘ th> acknowledged belle of Kentucky,” hended a delegation of young ladies to the General, to whom they veved eternal fidelity. No doubt they belonged to the Women’s Rights party, and General Seott had an understand- ing with them, that when he gets into the White House he will do all that in him lies to give them their rights. Wiih regard to th speeches to come, we may safely *eonclude that they will be of the Saute staple as the past—war—war—war. In every speech of the tour he has talked of nothing but campaigns, and battlea, and old soldiers, with the exception of some obrervations about the weather, and his blar- ney of “the rich Irish brogue,” and even these di gressions were connected with the maia topic, tike the episode in a poem. Wo are informed by the Now York Times that General Scott is the greatest orator of this orang, ‘otherage. ‘*Search,” quoth he, “the speeches@f Pericles, Demosthenes, Civero, Pitt, Fox, and all eroes of the tongue, for speeches of equal compression.” To search among the speech- 8 of these 01 Sor ‘‘such” orations as those of General Scott arould be iudecd a fraitless task. There is one thing in which General Soott’s uaique speeches etand distinct from all others, and that is in their wonderful resemblance to each other, and their uniformity of ‘texture. They area as like as egga, and have as little variety. They forcibly bring to our recollection the dianer of rabbits to which Dean Swift was invited, and over which he said grace, as follows:—* Rabbits roast, and rabbits boiled, rabbits young and rabbits old, rabbits hot and rabbits cold, rabbits tender and rabbits tough —God be praised, we have rabbits enough.” Gen. Scott's speeches have scarcely the merit of the din- ner of 1abbits, in the variety of their cooking. It is true they were all rabbits, but they differed in vge and quality, and in the mode of being prepared for the table. In the case of the speeches, not only is war the material of them all, but it is served up almost in the same identical words, and all bear- ing on the speaker himself. But ia those speeches— made so fast (sometimes three in the day) that the General had scarcely time for ‘a hasty plate of soup” —there is not one word about the sciense of civil go- vernoment—nothing about his political principles—it ts allabout flogging, and een and shooting, ond other horrors of war. We have counted the number oft times that the personal pronoun “1” is used in the speech at Cleve- land, and we find that in the thirty lines of which it is composed, the pronoun ‘I’? has been used twen- ty-four times. Some of the speeches are not reported in the first person, and some not reported at all, but calculated on the basis of the Cleveland speech, the result would atand as follows:— | Cleveland rpeech, “1 Pittsburg epereh, Columbus three rpeecher, Mayxvilie three epeeches, “ 1° Spreches at Lewistown, € chester, &o., I Total... Thus, in the spesches siveady, fired off in this campaign of oratory, General Scott has employed the personal pronoun about 730 times, which will be admitted on all Lands to be indicative of a vast amount of egotiem. ‘* Fellow citizsns’ and ‘ gen- Jemen,” occur with marvellous frequency, and the violations of grammar are noither fow nor far be- tween. For example, in one spoech we have the following: —“‘ For ono who for ifty years has scarcely ever walked, rose, slept, or eaten, or ever taken a cup of cold water in the field, the town or tho camp, but that his thoughts wero of his country —~ ber virtuce—her renown—her honor—to be thus assailed, it is monstrous, it is intolerable.” One of the inspired writers exclaims, ‘* Oh, that mine enemy would write a book!” No doubt Gen. Pierce had often exclaimed : **Oh, that mine enemy would write another letter!” But the whig nominee has done what is far better for the purpose of the democratic candidate—he has delivered ao series of speeches which are without # parallel in aucient or modern times. As for Pierce, good speaker as he is, he has toe much semse to take the stump, be- lieving that, in the peculiar circumstances of his position, “There is notbing #0 beoomes a man As modest stillnons and hamility.”” Billy Bowlegs has shown fur moro sagacity, and dirplayod a higher order of oratory, than General Scott in his apeeckos, for what Billy says is short and to the point. For example, he says be whipped General Scott, the man who whipped the Britishers andthe Mexicans. Billy wants to show that he is a great warrior, and his argument is perfectly con- clusive. But General Scott’s argument is: ‘I have whipped the British and the Mexioans—therofore I am a grent statesman, and bave tho highost quali- fications and copacity for civil government.” Never was there so palpablo a nom seguitur. Hae poor General Soott no friends, that ho is thus por- mitted to “make a holy show of himself,” through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and, we suppose we shall have to add, the State of Nev York? Tur Wiig Nowination rok Mayor.—The no- mination of Morgan Morgans, (what awful itera- tion in a name!) by the Whig Convention, for Mayor of this city, has given great offence to a}l the most respectable and conservative portion of the whige. Mr. Kingsland, the present Mayor, was, wo believe, perfectly satisfied with his two year’s enjoyment of office, and did not want to bo re-nowinated. But tho public wanted such an efli- cient man as he has shown himvolf to be put in powination egain; and it is generally supposed that if he had submitted his claims to the rowdy influ- ences which prevailed in the convention, mixed and blended with pecuniary efforta, he ovuld have easily got the nomination which was given in anotber direction through means to which he would not stoop. The rotten and rowdy infla. ences of the primary clections among the whig porty, are just as bad as those amovg the demo~ erotic party. And these inflacneos have been in- creased by the melancholy negligenoe exhibited by the prerent and former district attorneys, in failing to bring all the political rowdies to condign punish- ment whenever charges have bees presented against them by grand juries. The dropping of Mr. Kingsland, by the whig coo- vention, reeembles, in many points, the similar de- | feut of Mr. Mickle in the democratic nominating body. Both these gentlemen are men of great | purity of cbaracter and independence of thought and action. They never would stoop to conciliate | the corrupt, rotten and rowdy influences which have | too much controlled the action of both whigs and democrats during the last few yeurs. In conse- quence thereof, a freeber and meaner rac: of politi. cians bave been rising into power, and getting into city offices, from tbe ranks of both partics, during the lost few years; avd there seems to be no rational termination assignabie to the decline of high princi- ples. cound morality, and s:ern integrity, among the public men selected for office in New York. Will there ever be any amendment to this disgraceful condition of things ? Tur Wau Srreer Covuier anv Enquirer AND THE Present ELection —For some days past our venerab!e contemporary, the Courier and Enquirer, published in Wall street, has thrown off a considera- ble portion of its reserve in relation to the presen’ political contest, and bas come out stronger and stronger, further and further, biggerand broader, in favor of the cause of the Seward whig candidate for the presidency. This has been a gradual bat» remarkable change in the conduct of that journal, and it seems to be the duty of some candid friend to illustrate its position, its polivy, and its good: tense, in the political dilemma in which it has been recently found. The Cow ier and Eoquirer, since the yoar 1832, when i: bolted from the support of General Jaskson to that of Mr. Clay, bas been the unvarying organ aud representative of financial and commercial affiir:s banks and bankrupt laws, vational or State banks, Btate stocks and country stocks, and everything connected with thore eubject3, in this metropolis. It has plumed iteelf, ever since it tef¢ Tammany Hall, where it had been an organ for three or four years, +o bea elect and conscientious advosate of the com- mercial interests ond commercial enterprise of this ci'y Tn consequence of this ebaraster, it has baen supported and patronized by the mercantile intarest to a very rewerkable and generous extent. I 8 daily circulation bas been, for several years, about 5,000; its weekly circulation 10.000; its advertising patronage yielding, probsbly, $50,000 a year, and its aggregate annual profs varying from $20,000 to $25,000. Of courss these ars very small figures, in comparison with tha receipts, expenditures, an’ profits of such a journal, of extensive aad goaeral cir culation, ixcluding advertisemen‘sand sabscriptions aa that which the Nsw Youk Heras presents. Ba the Courier and Enquirer is probably the most. profi- table journal in this city, in Wall steeet or out of it, after the New Yore Hexasp, and it has ac quired this desirable position in fiaancial resulr: trom itsinvariably pursuing a course of policy cal culated to strengthen, increase, invigorate, and pro- tect the commercial, financial, and industrial ia terests of this great city and community. At one time, however, during the absence of ite chiefeditor on a mission to Austria, aud under th tatal management of a driveller iu polivica—a smal! refailer of other men’s ideas—it took a fatal doties. tion in favor of that destructive policy aud those dan- gerous prinei ples which bave characterized the career of W. H Berard for the last taenty years, in this ate. Underthat partial mismanagementit showed a fatal tendency to abolition. Fortunately, how- ever, for its conristency and good name, as well as its annual profits, the chief editor ard propric tor scon returned to his otigiaal ssution. and recovered hie lost position by expelling the nincum poop who bad given it # dangerous tendency towards the doctrines uf W. H Seward If, therefore, the abolition tendency ot the Cuwrier and Enquirer, under the mismauagmeat of tho per- son indicated, in the absence of ite chief proprietor, was dapgerous to its interests and injurious to its reputation among the merchants aud business men of New York, what are we to suppose will be its fate ifit should now, at this late day, with open eyes, go over to the cause of WH. Seward, or wader auy mistaken sympathy, support a candidate and a no- mination which can only strengthen b's position in the Union, and give him a force and a power hereaf ter in the general goveroment that may tend to the disturbance and future destruction of thie Union ? ‘The successful clec.ion of General Svots is merely one step in the advancement of W. H Seward aud his destructive doctrines in this republic. Tho city of New York, and especia'ly that journal, de- pends on the union ard good fellowship of all the States of the repablis, and we know that the policy of Seward, for twenty years, has been deatrac- tive of that union, dangerous to that unioa, and caleuJated to injure the commere’al interests of thir metropolis. Are we, therefore, prepyred to believe that, after the practice for twenty years of sush dan- gerous principles, Mr. Seward can relax or foregu the fatal tendency of his own life in the event of the suecese of Gen. Scott at the next clectio ? Can tha Courier and Enguirer, the organ of the fiaancial interests of New York, aid and assist in producing such results that will only widen the breach between the North aud the South, by elevatiog sti!l further euch a demagogue as W. H Seward? Can personal friendebip or sy wpathetic feelings ooerats in such way as to produce the fatal tendency towards which the Courier and Enquirer is now tending? Let us know. Tur Arr Union—Exrrcrep Decision or Tae Cover or Arrkats —We heave been recently in formed by Mr. Cozzens, who keeps one of tho best hotele in the country, at West Point, who is one of the original Scott men of this Srate, and who is about to be nominated, and to be elected by a large mojority, us whig member of Congress from bis district, and who is besides loved, honored and obeyed by all the most fashionable ladies of the Jand—we were informed by this gentleman, that the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of the Art Union, bas been agreed upon by the Bench, and that it is in favor of its constitutionality and legulity--thus establishing the principle in this Stote that a lottery is not a lottery, beyond all poz sibility of inference or doubt. We are nigo informed from the same quarter, that the managers of tho Art Union propore to celebrate the triumph of this great dccision--that @ lottery is not a lottery—by a capital dinner at West Poiat, snd the delivery of sertiments and orations laudatory of the Cour! of Appeals, and full of remarkoble approbation of lot teries that are not lotteries. This is the general amount of the information that we have received in relation te tho forth- coming decision of tho Court of Appeals upon the conatitutionality of the Art Union. How the individual members of the Court rosy have stocd, we have no acourste intelligence beyond that of materials for guessing. In a guess- ing point of view, therefore, we learn that the Bench stood threo to three, one member giving the casting vote in favor of the legality of the Art Union, and | another declining avy cpinion, if we gness again, ) we might euppore that the casting vote in favor of the legality of the Ari Union may have beon givon by the Hon. Judge Ldmonds, Andifa farther guess were permitted, we might reach tho point of suppos- ing that to ronder such an opinion, some of the spirits of the deceased judges avd jurisia of the prt three thonsand years, may have beon summoned for covsultation, on the plan of the Roobestor knocking school, and concurred in delivering the importaut opinion on the subject of lotteries, which has been thus interpreted in certain quartora If 80, proba. bly this bas not been the first instanco ia whieh tho new and wonderful spiritual science has boon resorted to a8 an appendix to the legal code | of New York; and tho spirits of the other world, belonging formerly to Chief Justice Mar- shall, Judge Story, and other distinguished law | yerr, may frequently bo called upon to decide in matrers that sre beyond the ken or understand pe of the present living judges ning Tad of the Canada Reciprocity Gained at Last.

Pic- of Watl strest whea it becomes knowo thst wo have lost a cassomer that purcbased $50,000 worst a year of salt, and $40 COO worth of glass! Out of commiseration to our mercantile readers, we forbear to enlarge on the crue! blow. But this is not the worst—the “ most unkindest cut of all” was the closing ot the Volland Canal. It is trae that this gravo undertaking ovat ouc neighbors about aix williors of dollars, and yields &@ gros revenpe of sowe $20) 000 anda net re- venue of some $140 000, three fourvha of waish are paid by American veewls {he gross revenue will thus be $50 000, in#-ad of $200 000. when they have it all to themrely ud as the expenses of manages mett, collection, and repsire will amount to about $52,000, Curada will Jove $2.000 a year by having built thecanal. Whatof this? Every one knows that it is a wealthy coun:ry; 6 ismdyasuctug iv proportion to cur decline.
