Prtphecles. -- . Prentice of the Lousisville Journal is hard to beak Since they hove obliged " him to search the records, lie has brought, to light s;wnethifig new in prophecy, as follows: Remark a blc Pbopubct. The Louisville Jixirual gives an iustance of the- great fore aitrht of Jefferson, when he presented to Winfield Scott hit first commission in 1808. Though it i well known through the col umns of th locofoco press, what the late President Polk said of Gen. ' Pierce, when signing his commission as Brigadier General, a it may not be so familiar among the whips, as egeod many hare not seen it We will, thesefore, give the exact words, from approved authorities. , The words of Polk were: " I am ' now commissioning a man who will one day be President of the United States." This anecdote is not recorded in Chase's History of the administration of Polk, nor in - any .of the nine lives of . that distinguished man, which we have seen. - It must be true, however, as several locofoco papera make the : prophecy a standing test at the headof their editorial column. -.--' . ' We always had morel faith in Jeffrrson - than we had in Polk. His experience and learning was of a higher standard, and his e superior ability aa a - statesman-, is unques , tioned. - His power of foresight and prophicy - were equally great ; and the people of the - present day put more faith in his words than .-in the apocryphal sentences that are recorded of the latter day saints, whether the hickory i f which they are fashioned, be old or young. - The prophecy of Polk being of a later date t than that of Jefferson it cannot mean the - next 4th of March; and aa it may- be likely that both prophecies are true, it will be seen s that Pierce will have to aw sit for some years the coming of the- event spoken of in the prophecy of Polk, The prophecy of Jefferson, was uttered while siirnins his name to Scott's commission as a captain ot artillery, and appears to have ' been made in the presence oi tne oeereiary " of State, from whom the Louisville Journal had the anecdote. "Mr dear sir," said Jef ferson," I am now commissioning a man who - willbe'electeJ to the Presidency in 1852, br tremendous nwiontv over sort of - General commissioned by one of my locofoco -auccessors. - . s-w.

"We have to say that they differ as it re . spects agitation on the subjeet of slavery. j.

One will discountenance - a renewal of the agitation of the question set " tied by tit Compromise ami Fugitive Law; I the other will resist the renewal of the agita , lioo of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color - The Whig resolve does net exclude agita tion in regard to slavery in the District, the coastwise slave trade, claim's on Congress for indemnity for slaves, the bearings of slavery on the question of the annexation of Cuba, on ' the possible dismemberment of Mexico, and 'the future annexation of its nothern States; or on the policy sometimes attempted to be bro't to the attention of Congress, of coloni- ling the free people of color. But the Dem " ocratic resolves does exclude all this, by its pledge to resist all attempts at renewing in Congress, or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question,' 'under whatever shape or - color. .-' The Whig resolve docs not deprecate, or pledge the party to discountenance, the ag ' itation of slavery, as a moral or religious ques- tion ; but the Democrttio resolve doe, in the "comprehensive, unqualified term, "under whatever shape or color."

Judge CowBAO, of Philadelphia, in a speech at HarrUburgh, on the 20lh ult, thus fcjciWy expresses the folly and the wrong of voting for any Third Party nominee for the Presi dency J " " . "I first ask your votes for Winfield Scott, . .because yoa are compeHed to choose between t slim and Franklin Pierce. Thhre is no other cehojee. ; To vote for a third candidate is the suicide of suffrage. It U to nullify a privil g, and to skulk a duty. It is neutrality, and the neuliility of a freeman is the crime of a slave." I . Gsx. ..ScoTt'e Rsuoiow hat not consisted I in theory alone. A well-known clergyman, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, informs us that he -was traveling a tew years smce on board a steamer, and, as was his wont, at ear ly . morn, took out his Bible and read a chap ter. He laid the book down, and a gentle man near bim took it up, to whom he It) marked, "The best book in the world, sir." The stranger opened the volume, and respon ded, "Yes, sir, the best book in the world," adding, "Before I was seven years old, sir, 1 had raad it through, and trom that time tor ward I made it my practice to read it through once a year until I became so immersed in public business that 1 was not able to com mand sufficient time." . The gentleman who said this to our clerical friend was tiencral Winfielo Scott. The reader will not find it difficult to divine whence sprung his prover bial humanity and his admitted purity of per sonal and ofhcul character. We had a long conversation the other eve ning with a friend who knew something of Gen. Scott's personal habits while residing al Elisabeth town, after his return from Mexi co. Having mentioned the common report that lien. Scott is unamiaoie in nis intei course with those of the inferior station, our friend assured us that quite the reveres was the fact. ' He knew many laboring men who were employed by Gen. Scott at Elizabeth- town, all of whom would bear testimony, not only to his uniform affability, but to his evi dently heart-prompted kindness, tie was a father to those out door workmen whom he employed, always paying them their wages with his own hand, for which purpose he would go among them, taking his bag of mon ey with him, and address a kind inquiry or a friendly council to each. With his knowl edge of Gen. Scott our friend marveled how any such report had obtrined currency as that the gallant warrior was proua or aristo cratic. When Scott returned from Mexico, the ship ' arrived off the qnaranline during Saturday night, or- early Sunday morning. As the hour of divine service approached, the modett warrior quietly stepped into a boat. and the brst knowledge the citizens 01 .liza bethtown had of his arrival was obtained from the sight of him walking reverently long the aisle af the Church to his accus tomed seat in that bouse ot worship. -lN. Y. Com. Adv. All "Real Heroes" for rief ee! The Locofoco papers are circulating a list of names of officers in the Mexican War, evi dently made op from the record of Polk's appointments for party lawyers and politicia ns, HI of whom are characterized as "real he roes" of the war. ' lhe object is, to prove that Geo. Scorr is unpopular with those who served with him in Mexico. Indeed, the ar ticle positively states "no worthy soldier in the Mexican War ia a Scott man!" That the Wellers, Pillows, Cushings, and such "heroes" are for Pierce, is altogether probable; it was their subserviency to the in terests of the party which sought to make capital out of that war, that induced their ap pointment, and we have no reason to expect them to do justice to a "Whig General." It is not to these that Gen. Scott looks for a can did and impartial decision upon the merits of bis course in that war. These "heroes" were associated in the attempt to disgrace him. in the face of the enemy bis General ship bad conquered and subdued; .and he could not expect them to aid in bearing that testimony to bis brilliant deeds which an im partial country is about to furnish. It is rather to the hardy and way worn men over whom Mr. Pout placed these Locofoco "he roes," that Gen. Scott looks for justice to the men who volunteered to fight for eight dollars per month, rather than to the fair- weatber, office-bunting lawyers, who consen ted to hold good commissions and draw extra rations with the view of being "real heroes" in after years, We do net know what consti tutes a "worthy soldier," in the opinions of the Locofoco papers; but if unflinching brave rr. patient suffering, noble patriotism, from such a character, we think these calumniators of Gen. Scott's army wKI find many "worthy soldiers" woo will be prompt, when the hour arrives, to bear witness to their old comman der. Thousands of those, who have hereto re voted with the Locofoco, will break the trammels of party to vote for the man who needs no certificates to establish his general ship, or his brilliant abilities. Oommencsi register. -o Plain Talk ita Democrat. A certain man, living not a hundred miles from Evens vitleand who has invariably since he haa been a man vsted the Democratic ticket, late ly declared to a friend of ours tbst be was not going for Pierce. When asked his reasons, he replied : "Simply because 1 consider it an insult by any party to my independence and reason as a man, and the intelligence of every demo crat, to bo asked to vote for a man who has no earthly recommendation of ability or past services, and who is utterly unknown, when the party contains in its body such men as Cass Buchanan, &c, dec. 1 intend tor one to resent this. I voted for Polk because a .par ty feeling took away my reason, and when the great Clay was his opponent If Heaven ever forgive me that, I will never be guilty of a similar thing again, fccott was bghting the enemies of his country when we were chil dren, if not before we were born. Pierce is nobody and he can't get my vote." -. . That's pretty plain talk' and there's some truth in it. He is the representative of a pretty large class of Democrats. Evansville (Ind.) Journal. .

Rochester Democrat J Will Irlsknea Support British. Polity? New York, Monday, Sept. 6, 1852. To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune. ; , I am an Irishman, though a naturalized citizen of the United States. I wish to say one word on politics. Is it true that the lea ding english papers are in favor of the elec tion of Gen. Pierce, as likely to benefit the cotton lords of Manchester, Birmingham, and other manufacturing Cnglish towns T If so my vote is decided for Scot. Loving my fatherland, whose life blood has been tram pled out by the English trade and manufac tures, policy, I cannot uphold any man or party anywhere that promises to aid that sc cursed English policy. Did not our own el oquent Meagher, in 1847, in Dublin, declare that this English policy had robbed Ireland of ber manutacturca, palsied her industry, and ruined her trade? and can any Irishman born, help that policy to longer or stronger life T I am told that toriest of papers, 1 be London Times, whiah has repeatedly exuler ed over the desolation of Ireland, claims that the election of Mr. Pierce will be worth mill ions to Manchester and Birmingham I Is it so? It msy be wrong, but I believe Irish men are not fond of British parties, nor of parties . advocated by dntish Tones. Will you not, not for my sake, but for the sake of truth, that Irishmen may know who they are serving, publish what these English papers do say also, what Mr, Meagher said about British policy in 1847 T Let us have tbe truth and oblige. Yours, dec, John McDemot. Significant. One of the New York cor respondents of the Delta, and apparently a shrewed and sensible writer, speaking of tbe Dreesou Convention, then in session at Pitts burgh, holds the following language: "In looking over the list of delegates to the convention, I waa very much surprised to find so large a representation from the State of Pennsylvania. If that representation is any indication of the state of popular sentiment in Pennsyvania, then i.is very idle - to sup pose that General Pierce can obtain the electorial vote of that State Vnder any cir cumstances. The representatives from Ohio is indeed very ominous for the final result in that Slate. To me, it now really looks as if it were idle to hope of carrying for Ueneral Pieiee either of the three great States of New York, Pennsylvnina, and Ohio." It is evident that the correspondent of the Delta thinks the Pittsburgh Convention composed chiefly of Locofoco materials. Hence bis apprehensions that the Wbigs wil carry New York. Pennsylvania, and Ohio, in consequenc? of the drain from the Democra cy caused tr the Freesoil nomination. We think so, too, The State Election. Are the Whigs of Ohio devoting sufficient attention to the October contest? A Su preme Judge and Member of the Board of Public Works in the several districts, and County officers. The election is really an im portant one, and its result cannot fail to have considerable bearing on the November strug gle. Whig canvassers, speakers, and tbe press, should bring home to every voter his dnties in October, and see that the stay-at homes of years past - are all at the polls 00 election day. A full vote will elect Mr. Haynes to the supreme Bench, aud Mr. Beardsley to the Board of Pubiie Works, stations for which both are eminently quali fied. The State demands the service of just such men, and the people will act wisely in placing them in such responsible stations for which tbey are nominated. Wbigs of all parts of the State! Would you win in .November take good care that a full Whig vote ia polled in October. Be active, be vigilant, discharge your whole duty, and success ia both contests is certain. Scott boup COWL y Now that tbe River and Harbor Bill is a law passed by a Democartic Congress wonder if the Wbigs will still have the im pudence to claim, as heretofore, that the pol icy of internal improvements of that sort is exclusively Whig? They are so used to ly ing, that, we hardly believe, this will stagger them. Plaindealer. We rejoice to see even a moyety of Demo crats in a "Democratic Congres" getting back to the old Democratic Jaekson policy on the subject of internal improvements, and are perfect! willing that the Democratic party should have all the benefit of their votes for the Harbor and River Bill just passed. We again present an analysis of the vote on the Bill, and trust Democratic journals who favor the measure will have the candor and fair ness to place, the record fairly before their readers. The vote stood: In Senate. Yeas.' 19 Whigs, 13 Democrats, 3 Free Soilers 35. Nats. 2 Whigs, 23 Democrats 25.' ' Ix the House. Yeas. 56 Whigs, 50 Democrats, 4 Free Soilers 103.

We yesterday received letters from four counties in Tennesee assuring us that each of those counties will do considerably better for Scott than it did for Tv lor. For a time alter tbe nominations at Baltimore tbe Democrats of Tennesee were in high spirits.

Tbe Whigs of this State are thinking of nothing else than carrying it by a rousing majority. In the western part of the State, the news is most encourageging.

Scott by many of the lo cofoco speakers and presses: .. "It is lamentable," says the General, "and to a spectator in Eurepe interested in the ex ample of our institutions, it must be deplora ble. In the Old World it must seem as tho' no man were properly qualified to be a can didate for the Chief Magistracy of this migh ty country, unless he is about the kreatest rascal in it. Now, sir, I will take no part nor lot in such a warfare. For myself, I repudi ate and reject it. I believe that Gen.' Scott is an honorable and patriotic citizen, and that he has written his name and hts deeds on one of the brightest panes on his country's history; and not one breath of calumny from me shall ever wttner a single leaf of the laurel that en circles his brow. Hit wreath vz fairly won. and I will not be one to prevent.it from being tairiy worn. 1 nave enjoyed bis personal friendship for a long aeries of years, and 1 do not mean at this day by any calumny to prove myself unworthy of it." . : The above paragraph is a complete refuta tion of all the infamous charges that has been made against Gen. Scott by the small fry pol iticians of the Locofoco party. Let honest Democrats read the extract,, and then say which they place the most confidence in, the assertions ef Lewis Cass who has known Gen. Scott "for a long series of years," or those of such men as the junior editor of tbe Demo crat, who was in his nurse's arms while Gen, Scott was fighting the battles of his country. W A few weeks since, we announced that Robert Lucas, for two terms Locofoco Govern or of Ohio, but now a resident of Iowa, had come out for Scott and Graham. The report has been discredited by some of the Locofoco papers, and wholly denied by others. . The Ex-Governor publishes a letter in the Iowa Republican, to undeeeive the faithless and which we commend t. the candid atten tion of every voter. It is the commentary of an honest man upon the two men now before the people, candidates for the Presidency. After avowing himself a Democrat alwas, the Gov. says: "As a WeBtern man, therefore, and as aa original Jackson Democrat, as a friend to In ternal Improvements, and to the protection and encouragement of American industry, I cannot and will not support such a man aa Franklin Pierce for the Presidency. And as there is now but two prominent candidates before the American people, namely: Gen. Winfield Scott and Franklin Pierce, one of whom will necessarily- be elected the next President, I shall roost cheerfully and freely give my vote and influence to Gen.

Bring along your Democratic neighbors, that they too may enjoy the satisfaction of hearing the truth. Scott leads the column! - - y Our Locofoco contemporaries take it very much to heart, that tbe friends of Scott- should nse facts and history to forward his prospects. Tbey have worked themselves into a fury of passion over the life of Scott, that has been printed by Scott's friends, not that it contains any thing that is not true, but because the historical facts and incidents in it, are illustrated with engravings. They say these 'pictures' will deceive the people and make votes against their party. These Locofoco Editors must place great leliance in the intelligence of their readers, when they charge them with being influenced by such means, and the party should feel itself much flattered thereat. Y But if these Locofoco leaders are so horri fied at seeing a mere picture of Scott, or an engraving of one of his battles, what would they do if they saw Gen. Scott himself, and a real battle? If they didn't faint, they would at least be taken with a sudden attack of the dysentery, and the cAofer-amorbus would put an end to their fears. . -0 Vermont Maine.
