The following scrap of history in the Binghampton Democrat of October 13, from the locality and the personal famili arity with the relations of the great men named, which is exhibited in the com ments, is ascribed by the Bnffalo Com mercial to the pen of Daniel S. Dickinson: “ Among, the causes of cstrangemeut between Mr. Clay and Gen. Taylor, and probably the great and final onc, was this: Mr. Clay, it may be remembered, had a son inhumanely butchered at Buena Yis- ta, in the Mexican war. That son left a widow and a promising, manly boy, of some sixteen or seventeen years. This boy was anxious to be appointed a cadet at West Point, and receive a military ed ucation, an.d his request was warmly sec onded by his mother and his grandfather, Henry Clay. Henry Clay thereupon wrote to Mr. Polk, then President, and his suc cessful rival for the station, requesting the appointment of his grandson as a cadet at large. Mr. Polk at once ordered liis name to be placed on the list for appointment, and it was done, but Gov. Marcy, then Secretary of War, upon the examination usual in such cases, found that he was be. low the requisite age to enter the Acade my, and the rules of the War Department were too imperative to be altered, and his name was not, for that reason sent to the Senate. Mr. Polk, however, placed on the files of the War Department a Irtter Merchants to their prices. Rawson, Gilbert ft Burr, Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Gen. Taylor, a political friend of Mr. Clay, proved to be his successor.

The Island of j for more is on thg increase. This state of Great Britain, small as it is—a mere ad junct to Europe—has ruled Asia and Af rica both. England is one of the largest Iron producers amongst Nations. Com pare the nations of Europe, which is most respected ? but those who produce -and use Iron in largest profusion and greatest variety. France, Austria, Germany and Russia, and Prussia ; and tfiose are civil ized in proportion to tlieir population as compared to their products. It is true, that in comparing these, another proposi tion equally true in Political Economy has its influence, to-wit: A nation is great, all other tilings being equal, in proportion to its power to manufacture generally, and no Nation is ever great without. What was America, with her vast ter ritory and countless hordes of Indians, be fore Iron was introduced, and where did we find the most savage barbarity, but amongst these Indians who keow nothing of Iron ? Now that civilized Europe, lias planted hc> colonies in America, bringing Iron and its products with the power to repro duce both, where do we find [tower, inde pendence and greatness concentrating? in the United States ? or South America ? in the North, or in the South ? in the Iron and Manufacturing districts, or in the ag ricultural States ? The slightest observa tion will show. Where do you find the greatest power for defence or attack ?— the largest accumulation of the. elements of National Wealth, Labor and its Pro ducts ? You find it in, or contiguous to, those localities where Iron and the varied products of Iron are produced in richest abundance ; and there, though limited in territory and inferior in soil and climate, Tests the jiuwtT uf "HrghshttfTC cunt nil* hr the Union. Having demonstrated the truth of this fifth proposition, we will, in our next, as- things has been brought about by small fry politicians who aspired to a supreme local influence—a seat in the Legislature and the division of the spoils consequent upon the necessity of a number of new offices. The result of it has been to make both branches of our Legislature overgrown and inefficient bodies, to foist upon the country unjust and unwise legislation, and to burden the people of the new counties with ail onerous and unnecessary tax for tiie erection of Court Houses, Jails. &c.— Indeed, to such an extent has this thing been carried, that in many counties the emoluments fro u the ofiiecs of Clerk, Sheriff, &c., are of so pitiful a character, that is impossible to find competent and reliable men to fill them—a fact which tiie least observant must at once see militates against the proper administration of the laws and the economical conduct of the Government. For some time back public attention has been called to the rapid growth of our Senatorial branch, and so thoroughly a- Vakencd is the popular mind upon the subject, that nothing short of its rcduc. tion will satisfy the mass of the people.— The first, best and strongest step, in our judgment, to be taken in that direction, is to stop now, the creation of new coun ties, or if any more new ones arc to be made, let them be made by consolidating two or three old ones. Another abuse not quite so glaring or so generally felt, thougli more dangerous in the consequences to be apprehended, is the pardoning of criminals. We have no hesitation in saying, and this we believe to be the popular verdict; mat mis power lias, \vUWfn ITic Iqgt few years in several instances, been most un wisely and unjustly used.

The Democrat says: “Among thc articles found on the pris oners above referred to were two packs of playing cards, accompanied by the follow ing directions, which we print for the ben efit of such deluded persons as are occa sionally tempted to take hands against gamblers. The first is a printed slip, ap parently sent by thc manufacturers of the cards to the black leg purchasers. It reads thus: “ ‘ For Size—Place thc four aces, kings, queens, &c., together. Look at the place marked ‘Size.’ On the sample card sent with this you will observe that there is a variation in each figure, commencing with the ace, and so on to the deuce. When learned each card can be told, as well by the back as thc face.’ “ Another piece of paper, containing additional directions, reads as follows: “ ‘ These are marked on the spread principle. There is a wider space between the bars at thc place marked 1 for the aces, at 2 for kings, at 3 for queens, at 4 jacks &&, down to the 2 spots.
