Scott, In the South, well ati the North, the Demooraoy are thoroughly united.

No better 'conipfomite* man can be found thro'out the length and breadth of this Union, than Fittikltn Pierce. He ba» ever, in all political acts, In eU hta votes and speeches, whether in Congress or in his native St*te» in questions aiTecting the Internals of the South, and the peace and harmony bf the North, been a thorough-going and decided •compromise* man* For his uniform, consistent and fearless course upon this subject he has receive® the abuse and denunciation of free soillers and abolitionists ahne! The Democrats of the Sooth wilt vote Kr Franklin Pierce not only because he is true to the principle* of the constitution, Mad because he in a firm eoniintni, well tried Democrat, but also for the reason that he has never yet hesitated or faltered in resisting the tide of abolition fanaticism- The demooraoy of the Sou will be aid^l in tlnrir efforts to elect Frank Pierce by thoasends of /me- hearted Southern whiga. who are nnwillingw run the risk of strengthening th# power of ouch rank abolitionists *a Seward, iohn•ton. vV«.,iy for Gen.

The Demociatic E*ec«ave Committee, for Vigo County, wifl meet at the, office of the "Terr* Haote Journal,** on Satorday the 7th doy of Augost 1852. at 2 o'clock m. .Wrbe members are respectfully invited to attend.

G. F. COOKERLY, Chairman.

ffteck of Hoi. Jobm G. Dari*. The apeechof Mr. Davis, in favor of the resolution granting a portion of the jrablie domain to the Terre Haote and Springfield Rail Road, will be found upon oar finrt page* The speech is a most excellent one, evincing much titooght, and a thorough knowledge of the subject. A governmental appropriation of land, Mr. Davie clearly proves not to be unconstitutional aa many have urged was the case. As it is a work of a National character and one which will materially benefit the entire west, we conceive that the appropriation of governmental resources to effect its completion, more legitimately directed, than towards improvement of some river and barbors which accrue to the benefit of their peculiar localities alone. We hope our readera will give the speech a oareful perusal.

03r The dictatorial sample oi humanity, who does up ihe editing of the Expresa, haa his virtuous indignation aroused to a moat ungovernable fury bec*u«e so many whigs have had the audacity to present their names as candidates for the Judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas, in spite of his advice to the contrary* Good whigs must back out of their positioa^because a whig Editor haa the on warrantable assurance to aay, You ahan't so many run for the office, a dirty locofoco will beat you all.* A mere whig Editor must take upon himself the responsibility of dictating to freemen who shall, and who shall not run for office! What if a muiti plicity of whig candidates should be the cause of electing a locofoco! We guess the candidate® and the PEOPLE oan see the tendenoy of this, aa well as the all-seeing and all-knowing Express Editor. Has (his party dictatorship of our neighbor's been conferred upon him by general consent, or is it selfconstituted 1 If the former, we must say that our opinion of Vigo whiggery ia rather limited. :--i Mb.

CJoKOHBSio»At..—The Democratic District Convention for the 8th Congressional District, will be held at Lafayette on the 10th of August, on the same day of our Bowling green Convention. Messrs DAMBL MACE the preaent incumbent, and Jos. E. MCDONALD, the late representative, %re the candidates for nomination.

ANDREW J. HARLAN has been nominated as the Democratic) candidate for Congress in the 11th District. Mr. H. was the representative in '49. Rev Mr. Brenton the present abolition whig incumbent will probably be the oppo*ition candidate. %n.

Col. GORMAN, the present Representative from the Bloomington District has signified his intention of not being a candidate for re-election. We perceive that our old friend Dr. W. C. FOSTER of "rotation" notoriety will be one of the most formidable candidates for nomination. JOHN A. HENDHICKS of Madison, C. L. DUNHAM and others, are also candidates for the nomination. ia the Indianapolis District it is thought that the present member Hon. T. A. HENDRICKS will be re-nominated.

In the fourth District Col J, II. LANE and Col. ![)UMONT, are the permanent candidates. In our own District the re-nomination of Hon. JNO. G. DAVIS is pretty generally conceded upon all hands. As to who the whigs will run, "Deponent saith not."

0$r The Expreae, in speaking of tho anniversary of Lundy's Lane, which was celebrated at Niagara on the 27th and 28th, aays that 'Old CHIP. himself will be present, which will make the crowd a»o much more.' Well, Old Mr. CHIP, may be thar, but we think it exhibits rather bad taste in the whig candidate for thfe Presidency, to so descend from his dignity as to attend a political meeting for mere electioneering purposes, and to hear the chanting of his own praise! Much •better let it be,' he'll make nothing by being preaent, unless it be the receipt of that servility and homage, which ity so much covets.

MELANCHOLY REPORT.—A letter was received at this place on Saturday last, containing the sad inintellignce that JAMES S. NEWMAN, JOHN MARKS and their families, with others who started from this place for Oregon were all, (or nearly all) murdered by the Indians near Ft, Laramie. The truth of the report is doubted by many, we trust it may prove unfounded.

Mr. NEWMAN was a citizen of the county a few months previous to his leaving for Oregon, and was a brother of JOHN S. NEWMAN, of Wayne county.

Mr. MARKS was an old and valued citizen of Sullivan county, one much respected, and whose untimely death will be a source of regret to his many acquaintances in that county. -----

Hia lecture «e truly amusing, in ierecting and instructive! As might be expected however, we are sorry to aay, that in his effort to display his etymological research, he stultifies himself as usual. Truly, the fellow's aaiurance is excelled only by his ignorance. In bis critical review of "a eutogy," he says ••eulogy commences with two vowels, with the sound of another vow el, y.u Now Webster, whom we must regard at least as good authority as Danaldson, aays, that at the beginning of words is called an articulation or consonant, and is never a vowal at the begining of a word so here we have a case of Webster v*. Danaldson.

We trust our neighbor will continue to edify the public and us, with some more of bis etymological lessons. We think there can be no danger at least, of any of us proving "pupils unworthy of the master."

0£R Messrs WILLARD, and ^WILLIAMS, the candidates for Lieut. Governor will address their fellow citizens at this place on the 14th of August next. As both gentlemen are distinguished champions of their respective parties they will doubtless elicit a large attendance. Let all attend.

A COUPLE MORE!—A New Jersey paper aays that Hon. Lewis Grover, of Newark, has come out against Scott, and is making speeches for Pierce and King! He is a gentlemen of great influence, an able speaker, and one who in times past, haa slumped the State with great success for the whig a

The Baltimore Argus commenting on this case, says We know of leading men of the whig party, from the Allegheny mountains to the lower Chesapeake waters, who have left the ranks, bcciuse they have seen their princples and faith abandoned/, i- 0

O^jr The Expre'ss wants us to take back our assertion that Gon. Scott was nominated by the miserable majority of only four votes. We suppose he wanta us to acknowledge that Scott was the unanimous nominee as the General in his letter of acceptance, speaks in his usual vain-glorions style, of "my unanimous nomination." It makes little difference as to how much was the actual majority, as it took FIFTY THREE hard fought rounds to secure him a nomination at all, and then only by the "skin of his teeth."

Daniel Webster had a grand reception in Boston recently The procession that escorted him was a mile long, and included twenty-five military companies, a long cavalcade of citizens, and many on foot. Not less than 30,000 persons were congregated in the Common to see the great nan. he is evidently much chagrined by the nomination of Gen. Scott. At the close of the speech, he acarcely took the pains to conceal his disapponitment, and his contempt for military men. The allusion to successful military chieAains brought out roars of derisive laughter, the sympathy between the orator and his audience, on that point, seemed to be perfect.

In 1848 Gen. Taylor, with all his laurels fresh, reoeived a bare majority, which everybody knows was entirely owing to a rupture in the Democratic ranks unfavorable to Gen. Cass. Whereas in 1844, our 'unknown Polk,' by reason of our invincible union triumphed over Henry Clay the embodiment of Whiggery. ...
