Pierce and Scott nt Issue.
?41, during the oelebratad extra sessiou, and by reference to the Journal the following facts can be found: On the f5th of July, the Bankrupt Bill passed the Senate, by a vote of 1& to 83 Gen. Pierce's name is in the negative. Some time after (he United States Dink bill was passed by the same vote. Gen. Pierce voting in the negative. On the 88th of August, the distribution bill was passed, Oen. Pierce voting a§»iit*t It. Thus it will be seen that Gen. Pierce voted against the odious Bankrupt law, again*! the incorporation of a United States Bank, and agatnsv the bill for tho distribution of the ptiblio land#.
Now, upon the other hand, what is Gen. Scott's views upon Uu *e"leading measures of publio policy 1 'ilio following letter to a friend in 1841, will give -teste of his principles in relation to these sub* jeets in unequivocal language: 'Lsamsq of the L\tk Extra S6s8tox'o?

to destroy the old patty organization,
upon the basis of which tb« Democratic party were aiumphanf, and esublinh a party based upon priticiple^ at variance with the tiue policy and fpifil of oar republican ioftiUtUoBi- it bi* always been tbeseuled policy oi Uie American people to invite lo their diorw the persecuted and oppressed of every clime and mrtion. To become the asylum of the oppressed of every land, was the mis*ion of America here Uiey were to receive that protection and ei joy those high privileges of cili* zeoehip ftom which iboy were unjustly excluded in their own country. This liberal spirit which'ou people have always maintained towards their foreign brethren, ia Ireely extending to them the immunities of fre*mer», baa been one of the most propitious causes of our unexampled national prosperity. And yet. Gen. Scott, the whig nominee, 'fired with indignation,* regardless of these high considerations proposes to exclude aU aliens whatever, from the right to vote, in all cam, except such at shall serve two years in the army or navy, who shall thereby be entitled to the rights of citizenship including the right of suffrage. Such i*, in short, the views and opinions of Gen Scott upon this subject, as expressed in the celebrated address which be and a couple of his dixtingitithcd. friends prepared, in his private parlor in the
(louse, (over a 'hasty plate af ioup,') for the purpose of rallying the new Native American Party. And it is an incontrovertible fact that these 'peculiar views,' which Gen. Scott maintained upon the subject are not confined to him alone, but they are the principles of a great mass of the present whig partv.' Many prominent members in that party

CARLTON,
f»* SAMUEL 11 BUSKIRK, July «Sd, 1852^ "7 'x What object thenar of tl^ desiring a democrat lo ran for the Judgeship, io opposition to the regular Democratic nominee, we can't see. Why they are unwilling to abide the decision of the convention we can no. also perceive. We should much regret it, should Mr. Hughes ac ceptkm of ihe call thus leudered him, and present himself as an independent candidate for the Judgeahip. If the Bloornington barregard Mr. Hughes as the individual of the district most pre-eminent-ly qualified for this station, why can they, not present his claims before the convention! If die convention could a at be made sensible of his claims, we see no reason why Ihe people should.— That Mr. Hughes possesses sufficient legal capacity to qualify him for the efficient discharge of the duties of Circuit Judge, we have no doubt, as he at present stands deservedly high in hie profession. His opposition, however to the regular nominee of his party, can in no degree, benefit either himself or his party. How such democrats as Gov. Duo* ning, Gen. Lowe,and the two Buskirks, can encourage a course of policy, in opposition to the established usages Of the party, we can't see
(gr it is a fact not less strange than true, arid
whig party, that we could fill our entire paper adfli articles from whig papers, and whig speeches, giving good and satisfactory reasons why General Scott should not be elected. The most bitter and vindictive opponents of Gen. Scott are to be found in the whig ranks, and no Democratic newspsper teems with half of the violent denunciation of the General, than does some of the disaffected whig journals. These are facts whieh are undeniable, white upon the other-tiand, no prominent Democrat who has ever been regarded as such by his pjrty, and no ao-called Democratic paper, can be found throughout the length and breadth of the Union but what cordially supports Pierce and KUW.
0^- If the Editor of the Express imagines that the contemptible twattle, and personal scurrility in his last issue, is entitled to any notice from us, we can assure him, that he most certainly Batters himself. In assuming tfie Editorial direoiion of a political newspsper, we had a higher duty to perform both to ourselves, and our party, than to engage in a contemptible controversy with a contemptible person.

Qni^iities of the Whig Campaign. Some, of the papers 'out west' not being able to announce public tpeetings to ratify Scott and Gra* ham, do 'the n«-xl best thing.' As often as truth will permit, and sometimes oftener, they state with becoming gravity, that 'Mr. So-and-So,' here or 'Mr. Somebody Else* there, lias ratified the nontiination. ,:
The principal whig paper in Scott's own State, the Newark Daily Advertiser—not aware we presume, that lite General resides in New Jersey— placed in Us editorial columns the name of 'Gen. Winfield Spott, of Virginia,' in response to the nomination.

Mr. Paulin, the balloon ascensionist, arose on Thursday last, about ten minutes past 4 o'clock,
P. M., from the State House Square at Indianapolis. The Journal says 'he passed over the city, waving his handkerchief to the sea of upturned faoes gazing upon him, as long as he could be distinguished. 'The balloon was in sight for near an hour and was gazed at by thousands until it seemed a mere spot in the horison [sic]. Nothing occurred to interrupt the pleasure of the spectacle and all went home satisfied.'
We understand that there its some probability of having his next ascension at this place, as he is now here, for the purpose making the necessary arrangements, if they can be effected. It would certainly be very gratifying to our citizens. ———————

After serving nine years in Congress—four yeare in the House snd five years in the Senate—Franklin Pierce redgned his seat in the latter. He was one ot tlw youogeet men who ever held a seat in either branch. The journals ofthe day do justice to the reputation which he acquired. To say nothing of what democratic papers said, take the two following extracts to show the foeling entertained towards him by his political opponents.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, a political opponent, thus spoke of Gen Pieroe's standing in the Senate and at Washington ».» •In the Senate to-day the resignstion of Senator Pieroe of New Hampshire was read and the president pro tent waa directed lo inform the Governor of New Hampshire of the resignation. Mr. Pierce retires at the early age of thirty-seven, from the distinguished position he has so long and honorably held as a member of the House and of the Senate for the last nine years. He has achieved for himself an honorable name—one that is worthy of his patriotio and chivalroua descent.'
One of the editors of ihe N. Y. Express, also a political opponent, writing from Waahington to his paper, spoke of Gen.Pierce in the following complimentary terms: -t ')t vt.^w 'Hon. F. Pierce, U. S. Senator from the State of New Hampshire, has resigned his seat in the Senate. Mr. Pierce will hardly have a more acceptable man to succeed him. To his political friends he was a partisan enough to be always faithful to the party of which he was a member.— He was a faithful member of the Senate and much more unexceptionable to his opponents. In the committee room he was laborious, attentive, and there, where a member may be most useful, he has been of great service to the oountry.'
———————
Whig Extravagance.
The prodigality and watseful extravigance &f the whig administration of the national government, is a matter which will occupy a prominent place in the political discussions of the present campaign. The Washington Union, in an able and convincing article on the subject says: 'The fact is fully ascertained from the record, as we showed yesterday, that this whig administration through the first re a it xi ha a a of money yearly to carry on the government in time of peace than Mr. Polk's administration spent yearly with the Mexican war on its hands. This is sorely a fact which must set people to thinking whether whig executive rule does not cost more than it is worth. It must as we judge, bring men's minds lo the conclusion, that to elect another whig President will not be good economy. This conclusion will be strengthened in Ihe minds of those who rerttember that such leading whig journals as the New York Express, have stated very plainly that if Gen, Scott comes in, he must bring with him a Galphin tail at-once to corrupt and to control his administration. Had a democratic journal made this statement, It tftlght be set down as a partisan slander. But why should the Express, which supports Gen* Scott make the statement if it be not the truth! Coming from such a quarter the announcement will go to confirm Ihe the peo pie in (he policy which they hsve always adhered to of never putting in power two whig administra lions in succession.* ft
Every whig who charges Gen. Fierce with cowardice, brands Gen. Soott with deliberate false' hood—with downright lying. Gen Scott in his official reports, endorses Geo. Pieroe as a •gallant soldier and we ask our democratio friends to keep this in mind, and hurl it in the face of whiggery, when they hear the vilo slander from the lips of the votaries.
Who Won the Battle of Landy's Lane! ^The new born exultation ofthe Scottitos, for Gen. Scott as the hero of Lundy's Lane, induces us to publish a little anecdote, which the expeditionists to Niagara meeting had better tell to one ^ngiljej, and thus brash up a little genuine history t'Gen. Jacob Brown commanded at the battle of Lundy's Laae, and aa the battle grew desperate, asked the late Col Miller,.of N. Hampshire, If he could storm the British battery on the height. 'I'll try sir,' said Miller and he did it with a fearful loss to his regiments Tho British guns were turned upon themselvss,'the Americans held the position against the desperate charge of General Drumm^nd to retake it, and this was the work that saved us from disastrous defeat. The deed of Miller and his men Is as immortal hi his laconic reply to Gen. Brown.'*
Don't forget, then, who 'commanded' at Lundy's Laae, and who woo the batjle.—Argus.
What tbs Scott Mbk F»bt Foa^~The whigs are in tuneless minority ia the U. S. Senate, and cannot by any oonceiveable poesibility, holier themseivc* for six years, la tha House of Rep rttidaafives «wy are #quaUy bad off with a worse prospect ahead. If iben, they had any prinles, could they, malto a ain^e one efiectiyeT Could they carty out a single measure of their ownf Certalnly sol. Why, then, fa it that heaven and eaAh, and a considerable portion of the third of the Universe, are to be moved to ekct Gen. 8oo«! Be can pass no law—^vindicate no prioois—perfect no measured No—hut- he^ could wield the government patronage-, he cotrtd place hit adherents in fal ofce*! «•-.
