SATURDAY, AUK17ST 28. wmmmrn^^mmmammBBgsssBesamsgsssmt'The sentiments of Gen. Pierce in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, alleged to have been declared by hire in a speech at New Boston, having been denied, persons who were present on that occasion have testified that the remarks, attributed, were made by him in that speech. In opposition to solemn affidavits* it id stated that Gen. Pierce has come put over his own signature denying their truth. We have not seen his denial, but get our information from Democratic papers, and so authentic do they consider the word of Gen. Pierce against the oaths of other men, that they regard the odium of the Boston speech as entirely obliterated. So potent is the word of the

Democratic candidate for President. If a letter of denial from Gen. Pierceis to overcome solemn attestations, why should not some degree of charity he allowed Gen. Scott for his tetter in reference to views he may have entertained upon Naturalization? As long »ego as 1848 he came out over his own signature and explained the whole subject,, jet

Democratic papers are making every exertion to prejudice the minds of our natural*axed citizens against him. The State Sentinel, for instance, publishes what it call* Gen. -Scott's Naturalization Law, keeps it standing in its column* day after day, together with a quotation it brings down from 1844. -it is very well known that Gen.

They know he has never been in favor of .excluding them from office on account of their religion. They know he has protected them in the hoar of danger, and they will not fce influenced by false publications, calculated to tarn them against hi in. They know that a statement made by General Scott is as much to be believtfd as a statement made

states over his own signature that it would be "impossible'* for him to "recommend or support any measure intended to exclude them from a just and full participation in all civil and political rights now secured to them by our republican laws and institutions,*' they are not to be cheated out of giving him their honest support by the misrepresentations certain papers hold out to them.

those whom I have so many reasons to remember with gratitude, and what ia equally interesting to me that they are after the changes and vicissitudes of many years still firm supporters of the true interests of our beloved and glorious country.'

Gen. Scott must be a very formidable candidate to our opponents. They are bringing most everything to bear against him. We don't know what is to come next. They say that some man said if he had the power, he "would erect a gallows upon every wharf in the city of New York, and hang every d—d Irishman ns fest as they come ashore,*'—and they also say that this man is going for Scott. Supposing such to be the fact Gen. Scott is no way responsible, —but it is only necessary to show the baseness of this thing, by saying that the man to whom the above expression is attributed, whether justly or not, is dead, and has been in his grave for years. We suppose our opponents are justified in such a course, knowing they have not enough of the living, their only salvation is to call upon the dead to help them out.

The following gentlemen from Terre Haute were present at the recent Springfield and Terre Haute Railroad meeting at Charleston: J. D. Early, James Farrington, C. Warren, Alex. McGregor, J. O'Boyle, Thomas H.Nelson. Great harmony and good feeling prevailed in the meeting. Mr. Brough stated, in the course of his remarks, that he had conferred with capitalists in relation to this road, and was authorised to say that they would take the stock and build the road in the shortest time possible, provided tbe people along the line would manifest their interest in the work by taking stock to the extent of their ability.

This "home interest,"^ as he expressed it, is deemed by capitalists essential to the security of any work in which they desire to invest their money. ~~~~~~~

!. And it came to pass in the fourth year, that the Locos met together in council, even in the city of Baltimore. 2. They enme up ifi great numbers, and the sound nf their coming was as the ro3ring of the many waters 3. And they came together men of every tongue and speech. Hunkers and Barnburners. Free Soilers, Abolitionists, and Interventionists, Unionists, Secessionists and Tarifiiies. and with them also Rynders, the Hittite, and Mike Walsh, the Subterranean, who dwelleth in the slime pits of Sodom. 4. And they communed one with another, saying, let there be no division amongst as, but what soul soever languished after the loaves, let him be scared it» our rmti*t, and dwell in the tents of abundance. 5. And let us chooso ourselves a cap tain and a leader, who shall lead us into high places, even those which abound with veins of silver and fine gold*: 6. And into a land floating with milk

7. And that saying ploased them greatly and they wagged their heads every man of them, and sat down. 8. Then there arose an ancient man, who opened his mouth and said, Lot it be proclaimed this day whom ye will serve, and unto whom shall the gathering of the people bo. 9. And ihere went forth volee, as the voice of hundreds, saying, Is there not Lewis of Michigan, a great man end wise, amd moreover hath been men of war from his youth up 10. Let us eleave therefore unto him, and he shall rend the prey from the mighty, and give the spoil unto us for an inheritence, and a possession forever.

If. But others cr'ecl, Nay, what portion have we in Lewis Cass? for his sword is broken and the sceptre is de parted from Michigan. 12. Bui ihere is a young man even Douglas, who is very beautiful, so there is none like him in all the earth, and the hearts of the peoplo yearn unto him. J*13. For fitf sSflfih ti#ar~the fnarkei place, and sdyeth unto each man, ••Would that I were a ruler In Israel, even for thy sake for my affections goeth abroad, even unto the love of strange flesh 14. So his mrftfth Is filled with promises, and his hand holdeth not back the wine cup for one, two, yea three drinks and four, giveth tto to every man, for he is a man of progress, and staveth not in alt his courses 15. Theft there forth «f their midst a man of the West, ft man of fierce countenance, having his loins girt about wirh buckskin, and whose meat wa* bears and*wi!d varmints. 16. And he cried aloud, Who Is lie that speaketh of the *lne cup, whose soul panteth for strong drink? Let him muster under the banner of tbe Chief Butler of Kentucky, and wine shall he have, yea wine in flagrons and atrong drink in barrels. 17. Lo, even now at the sound of his name my spirit thlrstheth greatly let us therefore adjourn for a season. 18. Then spake there a man from

Main®, saying, not so my brotheri, but let us do nil things soberly, and drink only ibe running ltrook. 10. But the man of the West cried nut, is ilty servant a dog, iltnt he should do litis thing? So he mrped and went away in rage, *v. 20. And all the people followed after the man of tfte Wett./* ,%•

I CHAPTER. IX. -'I. And in process of time the men returned, and sat again in council, even in the great Sanhedrim in Baltimore.

And their eyes were red. but not with weepingi and they were^filled, but not with the spirit of wisdom. 3. And the contention wnxedr great amongst thog)» and ijjey stroye together many days. & tstft 4. Then there arose certain men of Virginia, who snid Let us gather ourselves unto Buchanan, the Tnrifflie, for he is a Hunker indeed, in whom there is great guile. §^&. His name is published in .many lands, and the sound thereof hath reached unto our ears, nnd none can say tve are setters forth of strange men. 6. But others cried nay. for he was raised lit the tents of wickedness, and hnih blasphemed against us in the language of Ashdod, saying that he would let out the blood of the 'Democracy, even with a lancet. 7. But tho men of Virginia clove unto him, and a certain wise man among them snid, Why do you murmur? And wherefore make ye known our reproach unto our adversaries? 8. As for that saying, let the memory thereof rot, and let the blackness of darkness cover it forever. fe 9. Wot ye not, that as the strong man, even Samson, found honey, yea, the precious honey comb, in the body of the dead lion so, also, my soul smelleth the savor of sweet doctrine yea, snuffeth the order of pure Democracy, in the Defunct carcass of Federalism. 10. But the others said these men be drunken with new wine let us rather cleve unto Marcy who dispenseth spoils, and giveth much raiment unto those who follow after him. 11. -Then replied unto them the men of Virginia, As for this Marcy we have no inheritance in him let him remain, like Asher, by the sea shore, and dwell in his breeches. 12. But we will gather ourselves unto a great and a wise man, even- Dickenson, and him only will we follow. 13. For he hath trod in high places and been seen afar off all men for his goings furth have been stately as the steppings of the he goat of Syria, that browseth upon Mount Gideon. 'T14. Then Dickenson bowed himself unto the ground and cried unto them saying, Oh, sirs, live forever! now be it for this time. I pray you have me excused. since 1 serve Lewis of Michigan, and him only do I serve. 15. And again spake unto these men of Virginia, saving, Lo these many days have wo striven together in vain contention. There be ginms in the land, but ye will none of them. 16. Let us, therefore, search out some small man, whose ways fere unknown, so that the mouths of the gainsnyers shall be stopped. 17. Let us, therefore, assemble ourselves unto Pierce, for he is the smallest among tenthousand and altogether puny. 18. For there is a path that the eaglo knoweih not. and the wild goat hath not found, and therein Pierce, the son of New Hampshire, walketh for ho is a meek man, and refuseth to sit upon a horse. -1* 19. And it shall come to pass, that as Zoar was saved from the ruin of Sodom, because it was the least nf the ciiies of the plain, so shall it happen that when the wrath of the people shnll rain down tempests upon the great ones of our pary, and the lightning shall run along the ground, that it shnll spare even Pierce, because he is a little one, 20. Then stood up among them Rynders, the Hittite, who was captain among certain men of Belial, and said, Lewis I kt.ow, and Douglas I know butwho Is he? 21. Then answered unto hirn a rnnn of New Hampshire, saying, lie i9 like Kphraim, a pleasant child, for he speaketh but few words and wriieth no letters, but he spelleth wonderfully* 22 in hia right hand he holdeth the loaves and with his left he dispenseth the fishes, even places, and he is cunning to catch gudgeons. 23. Moreover, brethren, he hath been known to give alms, even* one cent money current with the merchant, unto a boy that was a stranger unto hi in. 24. Then exclaimed Rynders the Hittite, the like thereof was never heard of in Israel, and as my soul liveih, unless I see with my own eyes, and feel with these fingers, that cent, even that red cent, I will not believe though one rose from the dead. 95. But the others were a weary and hungered for the loaves and the ftehes, so they hearkened to the men of Virginia, and they gathered themselves unto Pierce of New Hampshire. 16. And as for the rest of the doings of the Locos in Baltimore, are they not written in tha books of the Apockrgphaf

And it esme to pass, when Cass

and Douglaa heard that Pierce had been chosen captain of the Host, that they lifted up their voices and wept and the Whigs of the house of Flllmoce .heard them* 38. And they rent their garments and iSauered ashea on their heads, and went

up to the capitol crying, Oh, Pierce my friend, my friend Pierce, would to God I had bean chosen instead of thee!

TERM HAUTE, IND., AUGUST 28, 1852. WH0L1LN0.1041.

Tho New Hampshire Test end General Fierce. General Pierce stands charged, (says the BufTulo Commercial,) with a very serious fault of suffering the disgraceful^ provision to remain on the constitution of New Hampshire, which excludes all Roman Catholics from being eligible to the office of Governor, or to a seat in the Legislature of that State. The Democratic party have been conscious of the importance of the accusation, to which their candidate is obnoxious, and accordingly George.M. Dallas, of ('hiladelt)hia, and Charles G'(Jonner of York, among others hove exerted themselves to palliate, if not deny it altogether. It was alleged that Gen. Pierce had spoken eloquently in fuVor of erasing thitf'bloi from the constitution, and had even descended from the chair of the presiding officer, to enable him to do it.

In this condition of things, as the matter is of very great concern to a large and worthy portion of our population, it was felt of the deepest interest to know the real truth about a passage in the life of Gen. Pierce, which, if the charge as mude is true, inflicts an indelible stain upon his character, as it would on that of uny public man in this country, who should be guilty of it.— We wanted to ascertain satisfactorily whether there is a man proposed for office, especially the highest place in the United States, who has shown himself of such a bigoted, illiberal and persecuting rpirit, as to be willing to see a clause remain on the very constitution of his native state, where he is and has been all powerful for year.*, and where his word is law.

Mr. W. E. Robinson, of New York, has made a visit to New Hampshire, examined the records of the proceedings of the Convention called to amend the Constitution of that State, and made inquiries at Concord into the fountains of Democracy. He has returned, and given the result of his investigations in a speech to the Scott and Graham Clubs of the Fourth, Tenth, and Sixteenth Wards.jr lle established these positions. 1. Franklin Pierce did not speak at all in favor of the Catholic Emancipation during the whole tune the Catholic test was before the Convention. 2. He had nothing to do with

ing forward" thesuhjectfJ ^The resolution abolishing the test was drawn up by Mr. Parker of Nashua, a Whig and was "brought forward" by Mr. Parker, November 14, when it was discussed in Convention, 3. It was known throughout New Hampshire that Catholic Emancipation was finally defeated by an overwhelming vote some eight or ten weeks before Mr. O'ConnorspuKe in Tammany Hall. 5. When Religious Liberty needed a champion, Gen. Pierce was found— wanting. Though, after Catholic Emancipation had been carried in Convention, he found time, while making a speech on the Property qualification, to excuse and apologize lor the test bigotry, Ly saying it was a dead letter and biank, which was simply stating that Catholics would perjure themselves to get into office, by swearing to support a constitution which expressly shut out of office. 6. TV at so Atr from all his "antecedents" being right, his farther, Benjamin Pierce, voted to put the anti-Catho-lic clause into the constitution, and voted'for the Alien and {Sedition Laws of old John Adams! 'L 7. That so far from Catholic Emancipation failing only for want of a twothirds vote,it had not one-fifth of the votes cast throughout the ,State at the sarfte election for Governor and did not come near a simple mnjority of the small vote cast on this question** 8. That in piace of their being any high confidence in New Mnmpshiro of Catholic Emancipation being carried, the general opinion is that unless we draw a lino arotlnd New Hampshire, saying that while the plague, spot is on her, and the ship is unpurified, no man, captain or crew,shall land,'and thus by the defeat of General Pierce, bring his bigoted party to their senses, the Catholics in that State stand no chance of being emancipated for half a century. 9. And in a word, in fine, that the: father, Benjamin Pierce, was a red hot

learned to crow so glibly from the old one, that he raised not a voice in favor of nbolishing his father's bigotry during the whole time the subject was under discussion in a Convention of which he was a leading member and President.

TUB BRITISH CANDIDATE.-—The English Pross is out for Pierce. The London Times goes for hirn because he is for Free Trade and British goods, and ngiflgt Protection nnd American Manufactures. The London Leader goes for him because he is a descendant of the English aristocracy. We give our opponents j'»y in the powerful support their candidate is to receive from England.— Doubtless there will be plenty of British Gold to use in the vain endeavor to elect the British candidate. And in truth there ia abundant roason why the British should hate Winfield Scott. He tore down their flag at Fort George, whipped them at Chippewa and made their bravest troops bite tho dust at Lundy's Lane. Ho warned them that for every Irish Soldier executed, tho blood of English prisoners should flow, and he would give them no quarter inbattle.-r-It is not strange that the Eggllsh should desire the election of Pierce and the defeat of 8cott.

GEN. SCOTT'S QUALITIES OF HEART.— We make the following extract from a letter published in a Tate issue of the Erie Chronicle: ••In March, 1849, the. writer had occasion to call upon Gen* Scott, who was then lying sick at Brown's ifotel, Washington. There were many navy and army officers waiting in the hall below to be admitted. Ncttone had that morning been^dmiitedj|s his doctor Was with him. I sent wordiiy a weiter that an old soldier desired tb apeak with him word was instantly broughjgfoak* to admi* me, and was adoiittSto Hiito the presence of the yictojib^ General, who had but recently refused with scorn an empire of his brother officers and com. peers still in wahing, thtf "poor old soldier" admitted,taken friendly-and kindly. O, how kindly, nay, affectionately, by the hand. That was the proudest moment of a Ion/ and varied life. 1 was by him desired to sit down by his bedside, where ho still lay suffering from the effects of his last campaign.— For half an hour he talked to me, though very feeble, ot my little affairs, with the gentleness of a father, and such In truth he was, as many now living can truthfully vouch for, to all ever under his command. If this is pride, then pride is surely a virtue. This, and many more such traits of this vilified hero, a re a a in to

Benefit of Railroads.

The New York and Erie Railway brought down in one day not long since 180,000 lbs. of butter. The amount of produce brought to tido-water by this road is almost incredible, and would be still larger if the capacity of the road was greater. A Broome county farmer told us in December that he had been more than two weeks trying to send forward some produce which he was unable to do, because the cars were so full before they reached Binghampton [sic], there was no room for anything more. Since the opening of the road, the consumers of produce in all the villages, are grumblitig at high prices. What is their loss is tho farmers gain. Every farmer along a line of railway ought to be a stockholder. They would then look upon it as our road and try to promote its interest, and thereby their own.

So soon as her numerous railways are completed Virginia will place her na-

farming States in the Union. It is supposed that the quantity of milk now consumed in Boston is more than five times as great as it was before the various railways were opened, and the price from one to three cents less per quart. On the Fitchburgh railway alone, about two thousand gallons are brought in and distributed daily. The milk train from Westborough was detained by ac cident a few mornings since, and some 20,000 persons in consequence, says the Traveler, had to go without cream or milk for breakfast.

Chickens are now sent from Northern Ohio alive to the New York market, where they sell from thirty to fifty cents a piece. We have known them a drug in the Ohio market at fifty cents per dozen. This is only the beginning of the advantages to the country, growing out of the Erie Railway. ~~~~~~~

A WHOLE COMPANV OF BOLTERS.—-At the great- Niagara Falls celebration, a company consisting of FORTY Germans, from Detroit, Michigan, made their appearance. They had all been Democrats hertafore, but could go their party no longer, and therefore came out openly for Scott nnd Graham. Strange as it may appear, there is a fair prospect that the Whigs ttiil carry Michigan ^, sL •s 1"

HIO SOLDIER OF "IS."

The Poughkeepste Eagle says that while a Mr. Warner was crossing the Hudson River, in a row boat, from his residence on 'Constitution Island to West Point on the 17th inst., he was unceremoniously visited by a sturgeon which* performing its morning exercises, .ventured beyond its play-ground and darted about three feet clear above the boat and came down head foremost, protruding his nose through the bottom in such a manner as to fasten himself. In this perilous situation, Mr. Warner and servant succeeded in crossing the river with his victim in this perplexity to the shore, where he was extricated, and found to measure 7 feet and 9 inches in length, and weighing not far from 200 pounds.

STRAWBEKBIES GRAFTED ON ROSES.— A short time ago there were exhibited in Paris, in a florist's shop on the Boulevatd des Iialiens, several rose trees upon which were grafted a few strawberry plants This curiosity attracted much attention f«xm the passers-by.. JThe process by which it was effected was as follows: In autumn a few dog-roses of ood sorts, on their own roots, are seeded and planted in pots at the same time a well-rooted strawberry is placed with each rose planted just beneath the stem of the rose. In spring, when the runners push out, two or three of them are tied up to the stem of the rose. It is well known that the runners of the strawberries soon make their own roots, and In due time theso roots are cut attay, making the cuts as for a scion, and then they are grafted on the rose stem, "without cutting or tearing the runners from the pnrcn. plant in the ground."— They should be preserved very carefully, to lead the sap upward to the scions, and, treated in this way, the strawberries will vegetate upon the rose tree for some time.

WHAT ARE THE WHIOS FIOHTINQ FOR? —We came across tho above ib an exchange. It is so easy to satisfy the queerist, that we cannot refrain from doing so. Perhaps it will reform him. There is much truth in iho line, "While the lamp holds out to burn.M&c. Well, sir, the Whigs arc fighting for the mah who has been fighting fur'his country more than forty years for river improvements for American industry for the development of the resorces of the country for the elevation of our people, socially. intellectually, and religiously for the perpetuation of the Union and the liberties of our happy land for all the vast and vafied interests of the coun* try, which we desire shall be placed on a stable and prosperous foundation for true men and tried patriots in fine, for Scott, Graham* our Country, and Victory!

REPORTED DISCOVERY OF ANTHRACITE COAL IN CALIFORNIA.—The New Orleans <Picayune> has the following information: "Through a friend, who recently arrived in this city direct from the Pacific coast of Central America, we hear the interesting intelligence that a mine of superior anthracite coal has recently been discovered in the State of San Salvador, on the southern bank of the rivnr Lempa, which empties itself into the Pacific, north of ihe Gulf of Fonsec, and only a few miles from Rcalcjo. The coal has been tested and contains eighty per cent, of carbon, burning like tho mountain and white-ash coal of Pennsylvania. The mine is situated within three hundred yards of the river bank, and crops at different points within a space of two and a half leagues. The vein runs northeast and southwest. The indications of the strata are considered by the discoverers as justifying the belief that it is extremely rich if not exhaustible. If it answers tho description given to us-^-and we have no reason to doubt their accuracy—it is a remarkable and fortunate discovery, and must prove of incalculable importance to steam navigation on the Pacific. Many that use coal, now use c«al brought across the ocean, or from the Atlantic side, at a cost of sixty dollars a ton. A deposit, at so convenient a place, in such quantities, must be more precious to the owners, nnd as beneficial to the world. „„1,|
