Mornll, in his able and excellent address before the Chippewa lub, Tuesday evening, remarked that he had noticed Gen. Pierco had been mounted, (in pictures) upon a war horse, with a Urge spy glass in hand. Thia, ho said, suggested tho idea that, to Mr, Pierce, distance lent enchantment to the battle field. Caledonian. CyThe Manchester Democrat says -that seventeen of the most respectable citizens in New Boston and Goflstown have severally made affidavits, establishing the correctness of tho report of General Pierce's Now Boston speech.

The editor says there are developu euta yet to come, which the General will not like to look in the face Won Mat. (T7" The 1 elegraph says It is asserted on pcod authority, that the Hon.

ScoUStl THE GREAT LOCOFOCO MASS MEETING A FAILURE The Pierce and King men had a grand ratifi cation meeting at Hillsboro', N.

(Pierce's birth-place.) on tho 10th. This was a gathering ofthe locofocos in general, and Now Hampshire in particular, and intended to be the great convention of the campaign, speakers having been invited from various parts of the Union. We observe that tho only distinguished members of Congress, telegraphed as being present, were Savage of Tennessee, Clements of Alabama, and Wollcr of California nono of whom hap pen to bo very highly distinguished for any qiial ity, Clements excepted, who is a rabid free trade Slavocrat. The Convention was large, number' ing twenty or thirty thousand. Wc give the highest number wc find others say ten or twelve thousand.

Now it strikes us that a mass conven lion, at Pierce's birth-place, in the locofoco state of New Hampshire, and at a spot easy of ac cess from every part of New England, number ing only ten, twelve, twenty or thirty thousand, is a great failure. The Whig meeting at Niag ara numbered moro than that on cither day and on both days more than trebled that number. Tho speeches at Hillsboro' were also great fail-met failing to point out any thing in the character, talents or services of Gen. Pierce to entitle him to the gratitude or confidence of the pooplo. They do not name a single victory won on tho battle field not a wound received, except by falling from his horse not a single leading measure of public policy origina ted by him in Congress nor even a single speech delivered by him on any measure of pub lic importance.

Wo give a summary of the main points of tho speeches, gathered from the llottun Traveller, to wit Charles O. of N. (the father of tho infamous gag rule in Congress,) attributed "the acquisition of California and Texas to the Democratic administration a Whig administra tion would have done far different alleged that for Gen. Scott the Whigs had claimed the conquest of Mexico, luf they mistook and wound up with a brief eulogy of Gen. Pierce." Col.

Savage of Tennessee next took the stand, and undertook "to relato something in favor of him (Pierce) with whom he had been intimate." Wc give the great points of his speech Gen. P. went into tho conflict with coolness and courage, and tho man who sscrted aught to uio rontiary snouui dc oranded as a cowardly liar. This charge of cowardice had been the only one mado against Pierce in all the canvass, and ot ail charges that could be made it had the least loundation in truth. "The passage through tho Pedncle of Mexico was described.

I his was a vast rockv expance. which was split into innumerable chasms, and the arm crossed it on toot. Many horses fell in to these chasms, and the Mexicans kud asserted thut it was impossible to cross it. Thoo horses Ind to oe lelt to die, and it was in crossing this dangerous place that Gen Pierco was injured by a fall with his horse. Rut one horse crossed it.

and thatnne was a mustang and familiar with tho travel, and even he was bloodv and hoof worn with leaping from rock to rock. ot this was the ground ot the clnrgo of cow- nrdice drought against Pierce. Hud bucIi a charge been mado in tho camp it would have met wun one universal torrent ot execration from every one who was with Pierce or in his brigade, and it betokens a want of manliness in any one to bring such a chargo on bucIi an account." So Gen. Pierco did fall from Ins horse, after all Col. Savage confirms tho fact and at the same timo does not pretend to nama a ainglo battle in which Pierco was closely engaged, or a single wound that he ever received, except from his own horse! Rather a failure for Col.

Sav age. Next camo Senator Clemens (Jerry, so called,) of Alabama, who wan alto Mexico with Gen. Pierco. Wc quote Jerry, thus Charecs of biirotrv had been made apainni him, Pierce but they were falso, and tho citizens of New llonipHlmo should give him a majority in proof of their belief to tho contrary. "In the South, too, there was another charge that Pierce was an anti-slavery man ('Jreat laughter.) You may laugh hen: wheo ho is known, but in tint South every Whig paper and stump sieakcr will brand him with anti-slavery sentiments.

It ill becamo any man to sneak of the cow ardice of Frank Pierce, for it would bo false. Was (hero a man hero whom disease or bittle had spared of tho nldOlh regiment who would not brand tho slanderer with infamy. Icant of all it became tho friends of Scott to epeak of fierce in, lor Cjcou ol all others honored and rc-epected him Alter a tribute to Tierce he alluded to Scott. whom ho had followed into a fureicn country. and at whose table ho had sat in a conquered city, and whom ho honored.

But Scott's very eiiiinciici) was Ihe result of long military study, and a study which left hun no tune to look deep ly into me great, and nusiruse scienco ot statesmanship, which required as long a study for per itenon. Mr. Clemens exhorted tho Democrats tn work, work. work, one and all. 10 follow thn ex ample of ambronnc's brigado at Waterloo, who knew how to die, but not to surrender." So Jerry alluded to Scott, acknowledged his eminence," and "honored" hun albeit doubting his statesmanship.

However, as James Mad ison, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren havo acknowledged tho statesmanship of Win-field Scott, by committing to his chargo high matters of state, of tho utmost delicacy and difficulty, wo ruber think Jerry Clemens' doubts won't hurt thn old veteran. Hut what had Jerry Clemens to say of the military achievements and statesmanship of his friend Franklin Pierre? Not a word I He tells us Pierco is not a bigot, not an anti-slavery man and not a coward: but hu no where tells us that Pierce is either a hero or a statesman. And how unfortunate is his puroration ho could wot exhort tho Democrats to follow tho example of Frank Pierco. Ily no menu! juit see how it would read "Mr. Clemens exhorted the Deinocrau in work, work, one-and follow the example 'rant Pierce at the Pedriele of Mexico, tcha Ueujrom Ms horse, and bruised leg, and couldn I fghtatall." Surely, that never would do" for a peroration: it would be sure to elicit from the crowd nothing but a roar ot derisive laughter.

Nor would it do for Jerry to quote the examplo of llwjuld Seott at Quceiutown and Fort George and Chip pewa and Lundv's Lane for then the air would ring with cheers for tho youthful hero of the Northern frontier and so Jerry Clemens was obliged to pass by all the heroes of American history, and thus cast a slur upon them all, by quoting "tho example of Caiitrot' brigade at Waterloo, who know how to die, but not to sucrender." Poor, unfortunate, aye, contempti ble, Jtrry Clemens lie made the greatest failure vof thcmalL Gen. John Jl. Dix of New York succeeded Jerry, and he had not a single fact to state in relation to tho achievements of Franklin Pierco but he is a Democrat, and fit to repres nt the Democracy on account or his economical ideas of public Pierce's speeches against paying the widow of resioent Harrison tho balance of her husband's salary. the widows of revolutionary heroes their pensions and Ins votes against appropriations for internal improvements. If Dix satisfied with that argument, wo guess the Whics won't complain.

CoU Gorman of Indiana followed, and argued that Democracy it national and progressive" mewing, probably, Sav-cralic and Land-Stealing national" as opposed to sectionalism," (th fiew nan fer ami-aUvory doctrines and progressive," because in favor of Tho valiant Colonel also argued that it was the Llcmocrscy who fought tho battles of Mexico, though their commander was a Whig and ridiculed Gen. Scott's recommendation in favor of foreigners who serve in tho American army. Hero the crowd took breath and luncheon, and on meeting again, John Van Huren of N. Y. addressed them John, every body knows, was a terrible frce-aoiler in 1818, and went for his fa.

thcr Martin against Lewis Cass on free soil grounds. Now ho goes for Frank Pierce, the nominco of tha who kicked Cass overboard because of h'n favor to Liberty in Hungary. Of course John had to define his position anew and he did bo as follows John Van Riirrn, of New York, was next introduced, and referred in Ins opening remarks to the platforms ofthe two parties, and gave a slight historical sketch connected with the compromise. He believed it true that the Constitution secured the right to recover runaway slaves, and we must all live up to it, or thi Constitution was at an end; if it was a duty to live up to it, that duty should bo performed in a constitutional manner. If Washington and Jay and such men made a bar-irain, he should believe it a fair one, though Abby I'olaoni and her crew should denounce it as the contrary.

In speaking on snother point he said that free discussion, when anything valu ible was to be dono. was a blessing, but when circumstances required that It should cease a while, and it did not, it was an evil, and this respect the Democratic party had ever dono its duty So John's creed now is that fugitive slaves must be given up, and tho right of free discussion must be surrendered circumstances require that it should cease awhile, and under such circumstances, free discussion is an evil What these circumstances are, we are not told; probably, however, it is cause Twis Cass, and not John's dad, is now smothering under the load of hay. As for the rest, John's speech was directed against Gen. Scott, and his recommendation as to foreigners serving in the army. J.

II. Heller of California followed, and went his length in tavor of the doctrine of The admission of Louisiana, Florida, 'I exas ond California had not dissolved the Union and he argued that further extension would dono harm, but," he added, every thing depended upon tho strict observance of tho eleventh commandment," that is to say, the people and states must all love each other, slavery or no slavery. Tho last speech reported is lhat of Major Ste vens of the army, and inasmuch as it is tho ouly one that anything in favor of Gen. Pierce, wc give it entire "Mjor Stevkks, of tho U. Army, bore testimony to the irood conduct of Pierce, at Con- trcras.

Pierce led his brigade to a position it was to occupy, under the fire of twenty-three nieces oi Mexican artillery, a tire described by iiim as a most terrific and deadly on Maior S. was near Pierce during part of the time, and saw mm cairn ana collected. 1 hat hro was pas-itd nd Gen. Pierce's division gained its position un dcr his orders." Tho mneting at Hillshoro' was designed to bo the groat leading meeting of the party, and loading locofocos from larious sections oftho country were invited. They icere vol there It was fair to expect that nt this meeting the services, qualifications and claims of General Pierco to the high office of President would he exhibit-ed.

The speakes gave nothing of the sort As to the principles of Pierce and his party, wo find nothing but pio-ilaveryism and And it is just because of the utter leanness of the whole thing, that wc have taken tho pains to run through the list of hpeakers and give the gist or their speeches. Tho simple truth is, that General Pierce has never risen above thn dead level or ordinary locofoco politicians; in the field he has never won a single laurel, and in Congress lie has never distinguished himself by a single net or speech that should entitle him to the favor of tho people. Ho may be a clever fellow, a respectable citizen, a county cmutlw-yer of fair standing, and. for aught wo know, a good looking general for militia muster or a sham fight-Such is the man who is pitted againt Win-1-ieluScott against him who is recognized, by tho conqueror of Napoleon, as tho greatest General of the ago of whom John V. Clat-toh says, that "ho has never seen a man more familiar with, or more deeply versed in, the principles of international law;" and of whom John Quiacv Ahams declared, that, after an experience of mure than fifty years in tho public service, ho had never met a man of more exalted virtues, and that his a-rvices, in preserving the peace of lliu country, surpassed tho brilliancy of his military achievments." The one has served his parly as a mere politician, and a private tho ranks served without peril and without wounds, and lie has received his reward in offices which ho has not adorned.

The other has served his country for nearly half century rcn dering both civil and military, unparalleled by those of any living American; often facing death at the head of his brave troops, and often facing appalling difficulties in public af-fairs, but always success'ul in every emergency, and in every trial adding, for his country and himself, glory to glory HU reward is yet to comoj and it is for tho American people to determine whether that reward shall be tho Presidency, which Gen. Scott has fairly earned and would doubtless honor or whether, by elevating to that post one who has not merited and cannot adorn it, the pen of the historian shall be forced to make tho humiliating record, that the Presidency of tho United States, in 1652, was deemed too poor an honor for the illustrious hero, who had gloriously defended his country in war, and tho acconiplMed diplomatist, who, in perils dangerous and difficult, had successfully preserv-ed it in peace. ORANGE COUNTY. I TIIE SCOTT BOYS OF WASHINGTON. On Saturday evening wo had the pleasure ol meeting the Scott Boys" of Washington, at Bowie' Hall aye, and the Scott men and tho Scott ladies, into tho bargain.

The hall was handsomely decorated, and provided through the centre with tables the whole length, bearing a magnificent tureen of Rcott Soup," and flanked with the biggest and noblest loaves of Graham bread." Bowles performed his part admirably, and the crowd (it teas a crowd,) had a fine time of it. Speeches wo delivered by Justin S. Morrill Esq. of Strafford, and Burnham artin Esq. of Chelsea speeches happily combining both wit and wisdom and there was other talk, of which ice, for personal reasons, can say nothing.

Wo left the crowd at about the hour of ten, and they were then at woik, with a will," upon tho Scott Soup and Graham bread. The Montpelier Band added much to the pleasure of the occasion by ihcir excellent music. If this meeting was a fair specimen of the spirit of the Scott boys of Orange County, wo have only to assure Kidder, Thomas, Parker, Dickey Company, that, to them, all is lost except "tht biggest Coie in Orange County." If they won't roast her, they on save the Cow, or if they will her to Brighton, they may get their money's worth. As to carrying tho elec-tion in Orange County by roast beef, or even by lillipulian votes, we don't believe the thing can be done this year. By the way 2 the Randolph boya are getting on the harnras ready for tbo strong pull.

See the netted for their meeting cn the 30th. The State Ticket, Thoorp-sition mako no issue on State politics. In times past they have entertained the people with "Smilio and Dank Reform," and finally with Stato Reform." The latter was tried on at the late Freesoil State Convention, but, on the advice of a shrewd leader, they concluded to drop it as ah bug. So they con fess that the Whig administration in Vermont has been good. Very well now we have a State Ticket of experienced, able, pure and sagacious men.

Let tho people rally to its support; let every Whig especially give it his vote. Ra ly, and let it bo elected by a handsome majority, in the full assurance that tho State Administration will still bo sound, safe and good, in tho hands of such men. First Congressional District. The Independent Democrats" met at Mid-dlebury on tho 1 7th instant, and nominated Jons PicurntNT, Escj of Vcrgenncs, as candidate for Congress. Picrpoint was formerly a locofoco.

The old lino democrats met on the same day at Rutland, and nominated Pnair C. Tucker, Esq ofVergenncB. Maciiam PiERroi.MT or Tucicm that is now the question for the freemen of Washington county, and of the first dist ict. Jams Meacii-am is Bupcrior in talents, experience, nnd character to either of hi competitors, though wo have not a word to say in depreciation of Mr. Picrpoint or Mr.

Tucker. While they stand fair, it is Mr. Mcacham's happy lot to stand fairest among the fair And another thing is to be said in Mr. Mcachams favor to wit: On all the great questions which most interest the feelings and affect the interests of every freeman of Vermont, such asfne Slavery question, the Public Lands, nnd the Protection American Industry against Sitisli Capital ami pauper tcages, Mr. Mcacham has faithfully and ably represented the sentiments and advocated the interests of the people ol Vermont.

He is as good a irce soiler as Picrpoint, nnd Bounder and better on t' Public ljands and the Tariff than either Pier-point or Tucker. To the freemen of Washington county, then, irrespective of mere party predilections and prejudices to those who wish to vote upon sound principles, and for measures essential to their best interests wc say, in honest sincerity and full confidence of the truth of the assertion, that James Meaciiam is the man for their votes. Second Congressional District. The Whigs of Orange and Caledonia, we hear, are wide awake; and if old Windsor and Windham do their duty, AmiREW Tract will go in'o Coigrcss, as the boys say, by a thun dering majority." He deservrs it, and the dis- t-ict will do ilsclfhonor by giving it to him Tracy will take rank among tho ablest Whigs in Congress. Third Congressional District.

Wh attended the mass mooting at Georgia on tho 20lh, and found it to be, literally, a mass meeting. I he large church was crowded with tho men and women of Franklin County; and Chittenden nnd Grand Islo were represented. Hon. W.L. Sowles presided; addresses were delivered by Messrs.

Sabin of Georgia, Koyce of Berkshire. Ilazen of Grand Isle, and Walton of Montpelier; nnd between the speeches a glee-club performed a nnmber of excellent songs This part of the district gives an excellent report. It is Me Aome of Alva 11 Sabin, and wc find that those who know him best also lovo him best. The vote of Georgia on the 7-h of Sep tembcr wilsttcat that fact. Encouraged, as we confess wc are by the in dications of that meeting, wo hope for the election of A.L.A'ii SsniN liy acteiir majority on tho first ballot, if the Whigs of tho whole district do their whole duty.

I ho field is ripe for tho harvest, and the Whiga should step boldly in and reap. Alva 11 Sabin is known 10 be an able man, perfectly sound on all the questions affecting the interests of Vermont his name is but another phrase for purity, integrity and honesty At sixteen different elections Alvaii Sabin has been candidate for the voles of the freemen of his town and county ho never was defeated, and his constituents never w-ero disappointed. Cast in the same mould as Galusma, Olim and Je.ikison, we regard him as boat specimen of that class of men now living in the Btnte. Liko them, ho possesses all tho elements of popularity and like them, if his frie ds are but faithful, he mill bo honored and trusted by the people of tho district and the state, as ho has long been honored and trusted by the people of his town and county. Wc have said the field is ripe for tho harvest," The truth wc believe is that, although the district has been against the Whigs, tho peoplo desire the triumph of Wing doctrines.

They are anti-slavery in sontincnt and they cannot but know that Sabiu will honestly and faithfully reflect aiiti-slaery sentiments whenever the occasion demands it. They are for a Protective Tariff, and have been held in check, by the locofocos, only on tho plea that tho loco-cofos tariff of 1610 is more protective than the Whig Tariff of Ifli I This humbug is now-stripped of all disguise by the unequivocal declaration of FiiA.iKLi.N Pierce himself, that "he believes the frimciple or Protection to be wrono! and by the open confession, of the organs of Free Trade in Groat Britain that their sympathies are enlisted for Pierco and tho locofoco party, as being most favorable to Urilish in terests I As to tho public lands, it cannot bo that intelligent Vcrmonters are opposed to receiving the 000,000 acres proposed to be given as the share of Veryout, for educational purposes. They ctnnot beo unwise as to refuse that legacy for their children and thereforo wc believe they cannot sympathize in the declaration of the locofoco platform, and tho principle of the locofoco party, against an equal and just distribution of the public lands, according to the deeds of cession. Beyond all this, we believe tho perple are honest, and ready to discountenance political diihonesty. Sabin, they well know, adopts the Whig principles on all these measures has long held them, and doubtless ever will hold them.

Rowkia, they also know, has no fixed principles at all; a Whig, a Liberty man, a Coalitionist, a Locofoco ho is just now trying to run on all fcorta of hobbies. We heard of him a few days ago at Richmond at one hour making a speech in a freesoil convention, and at tho next addressing an old line locofoco convention Tho inference might be drawn that (to use a witticism of the Burlington Free Press on another occasion,) Rowell will go for Hale, vote for Pierce, and dodge old Cherubusco's inauguration. Tho last story ne heard of him was, that he attended tha Pierco and King meeting at Hill.boro'; perhaps the next account will find him cn Camel's Hump, ratifying Hale and Julian. We aro unwilling to believe that tho freemen of tho third district will so far disgrace themselves as to turn their backs upon Alvaii Sabin, the honest, upright and really able man, and take up wiUi A. J.

Rowell a mere adventurer tn the field of politics, and a mountebank at that. (LyIthn been decided to hold a great Scott Convention in Pittaburgh on the 10th of Sep-tember. Arrangements are in progress to obtain th attendance of distinguished apeakers. Gen. Fierce Kneeling to tho Slar-ocracy.

The Washington Republic ot the I lib. pub lishes a correspondence between tho late editor Xorlh Carotin Tho locos claim the clcc-of the Southern Press (the Slavocratic organ, tion of their candidate for Governor (Rcid) by now suspended,) and franklin icrcc. fierce wrote on the 23d of July, asserting that tho re port or his New Boston speech, which attributed to him admissions against the fugitive slave law, is grossly and absurdly false; claims that the freesoil newspapers of New Hampshire have always denounced him ai pro slavery man, and rcftrs to his course in Congress, nnd his acceptance of the Democratic Platform, guarantee or his soundness on the Slavery question. lie further says: am not surprized to know that tho attempt to prove mc an abolitionist here provokes much merriment among men or all parties hero." This letter, it will be observed, was written to the editor or the avowed organ of the most ultra Pro-Slavery men in the Union the State Rights men and Secessionists of the Calhoun school. An equal depth of degradation no northern mnn has ever yet achieved.

Wo commend the fact to the especial attention of Democrats in Vermont, who have been so prolific in frceBoil professions since IHI9 and are now illustrating thtir characters for consistency by hurraing for Pierce and hing.

Will somebody bo so good as to tell the public whether the free soilcrs in Washington county have got any ticket at all? The coalitionists once pretended to be free soilers; but the Patriot puts their ticket under the broad banner of Pierce nnd King," and Me I'rieman puts it no uhere. Wc have heard it rumored lhat thr Freeman is to support the coalition ticket, o.X- joint ballot, and consequently the U. S.

In that event, Me Patriot will tor. appear with the coilition ticket under the Pierce We still rank North Carolina in the Whig col-and King banner, nnd Me Freeman will show the umn for President, same ticket (Eastman alonu excepted,) under the banner of Hale and Julian.

England is tho free trade Mecca. With abundant capital, skill, and luw paid labor, she can, upon the free trade policy, beat the world.

She would placo the United btales upon tho same looting with her North A. mencan colonies, her East and West Indian pos-sessions and wo ate asked to help her do it; to build up her workshops, to the detriment an ultimate destruction of our own.

(LTIt seems from the following that the Western farmers are beginning to feel the locofoco free-trade prices for their products Low Prices of Grain Tho Western nnnera complain of the low prices of iho products of I even in Micmgan, when; tho crop was never before so largo; and the Racine Advertiser observes that tho ruinously low prices at which purchasers are obliged to put thoir figures, makes wheat raising in isconsin unprof-liable business. The wholesale prices at Ra-cino are Winter wheat 50 a COc, spring wheat S0aU7c, barley 35 a lllc, oats 15c, corn a 32c.

Walker did riot predict of exports in 1850: the amount Ae set down was $-lr8 and the actual amount of exports in that year was only Hon. E.C. Cabell, or Florioa.

We believe it has been generally understood that ir. abell, of Florida, would refuso to support Gen. ScotL The Tallahassee Sentinel gives an extract from a letter recently written by him, which says, '-The Whig party of my State have decided to sustain hun (Gen.

The latter is disput ed however, and the majority claimed for tho Whics.

Inasmuch ns Reid's election is conceded by a handsome majority, some peoplo think the State is for Pierce and against Scott. Thero is no ground for such conclusion Rcid is for an extension of Hiiffrago nnd so was the Whig candidate. Rcid, however, was for having this dono by the legislature, without Convention to revise the Constitution. Tho Whig candidate wanted a Convention. Now it ho happens that North Carolina (like Virginia) has mountain population littlo nffectcd with slavery, nnd a valley population, between the upper region and tho seaboard which is alnvocrntic.

It so happens, also, (as in Virginia.) that Me Senafe is so appor tloncd ns to give tho slavocrats the advantage. nnd (what is worth remarking.) the locos carry the Scinte under tho slavocratic apportionment, while Me House, which is plected on fairer principles, is carried by Me ll'higs: perhaps this fact will servo to show which pirty in North Coroli-ni is most favorable to free nnd fair principles. Bui to return Raid was against Constitutional Convention, because the unjust slaroerat.c apportionment of the Smatr might be changed by it. Legislative action he was not opposed to, because the slavocratic Senate could prevent the reform in the apportionment. Now for Me roe Ileid has run ntore the other locofoco ticket '1000 votes.

Thisgain is not in the free upper or wes Whigs in that region, who aro afraid or losing tho preponderance of their section of the Stato in the Senate. Now this local question is not involved in the Presidential election, and these 4000 Whigs will vo'c according to their preferences Change those 1000 from the locofoco to the Whig side and North Carolina is a Whig State by UO00 majority, taking Me Corernor rofe at the late election as the bam- of calculation. In 18-leJ the Whigs carried their Governor by barely 600 votes in August, nnd because of this same local question but in November following thoy gave 6000 majority for Taylor.

The Whigs mot in State Convention on the IStli, as also did the Union men.

It is of very little consequence what Georgia docs. Since the Union party has been organized, the Stato has been regarded as lost to tho Whigs, and Iras been set down as suro for the slavocratic Democracy.

Potsibty in running three tickets, as is now the prospect, the Whigs may come out ahead; but we don't belicvo in any such good luck as that, Cobb, (loco, who professed to become Union man, and on that ground was supported ty Union 1 "vcinor, and elected.) now urges 1 oca lo anJ King evidently "-Riding those gentlemen aa the genuine sla- candidates. 1 II ifl rttnurLnhln hmv fundi tin, Tlnvi! mav h. wh'lM "round a stump, ,1 the parties .0 Judee DougUs-the very li-tle G.aat NN "8 he is by Ins party af- to acres 01 uma, to umld anaI 1 bt- hc I itlll inn it CIIDIH9 fi-l I.

This is a strong and significant fact. The Tariff Men are Coming. The Washington (Pa.) Commonwealth pours a column of hot fhot upon the unholy alliance between the London I lines anil tho English Free I raders generally, and the Democratic party in the United States The farmeis or Washington County will not give their votes lo tho enemy or Pennsylvania interests. I hey will have a great meeting on the first or September, to express their hearty determination to support Scott, Graham, and rotection ol American interests; they will then give un expression of their feelings which cannot be mistaken. I hu closing paragraph of tho Commonwealth's article is precisely wlut thu whole people say: In conclusion, do not hesitate to say that a parly whose allies are the British, is dangerous, und should bo put down by tho united voice of the American People! We go for protecting our own manufactures for giving the working man a fair recompense for his laboni for maintaining a homo market for the farmer; and in advocating a measure that will give us thcie good things, we feel that we are doing our duty to tho Government under whose protection we live, and lo tho State whose prosperity depends upon a Protective Tariff.
