FreesoiIers for Pierce.

Among the States claimed as certain to vote for
PIERCE and KING is Wisconsin, and the ground on
which the claim rests Is the alledged determine
tion of the Freesoiers to support the Democratic
ticket. That is the reason assigned by the Free=
soil Democratic press for the belief, which the
New York Eve,ung Post exempliies by the pub
lication, edtorially of the following piece of in
formation, which will assuredly assist the South
in its efforts to estimate the character of the
Pierce influences in the North and West:
"Mr. Utter, and many othor citizens of Wal
worth county, Wisconsin, who were Wings up to
1S4S and since Freesoilers signed the call for the
Democratic ratification meeting. The Star, the
Freesol paper in that county, also supports Pierce
and King. Last year Walworth county voted for
Governor: Farwell, whig, ,641; Upham democrat
S5S. Now it is sure to give majority for Pierce
and Kingn
To show that the Walworth county Freesoilers
do not stand alone in the movement and that it is
persevered in with the specific object of advancing
the extreme purposes of the faction, we append a
portion of an editorial from the Berlin Marquette
county, Mercury, paper in full recognised COM
munion with the Democracy of the state:
The people of Northern Wisconsin, especially
the settlers on the "Indan lands' are m6ite men;
and they go for white men and for ,ciite la,vs-
There is not negro amongst them, nor any thing
niggardly about them; yet they are friends to the
slaves, and hope for their ultimate emancipation
from bondage Their voices have been raised
against the rigid execution of the Fugitive Slave
law" and they will never rest long as domestic
slavery is tolerated in our nation. Yet they are
law-abiding men, and will not repudiate the re-
publican principle of yielding sectional prejudces
to the will of the majority The Fugitive Slave
law is the law of the land and in full force 1t is
to be depored. find is to be repealed! But how?
By ELEcIING PIERCE AND KING. Will not Wis
consin prove true to herself? Has she not able
and faithful champions in the halls of the nation?
Has she not placed Dodge and Walker in the
Senate, and Doty and Durkee in the House of
Representatives! Who doubts their integrity and
patriotism? And if their seats become vacated
during the Presidential term of Pierce and King
have we not equally as true and able men to fiji
them? There is no fnalty to the Fugitive Slave
law there can be none till is no longer a la,c The
liberty of speech cannot be suppressed, and that
hideous law will not escape debate till it is repeal
ed or deprived of its fangs."

cracy!

Gigantic Steamship Project.

In the synopsis Of foreign news by the
Humboldt, mention is made Of project for
the building Of steamships 700 feet long,
1900 tons burthen. and to be propelled by
engines of 5000 horse power. This, to
most ears, will sound as marvellous and
incredible scheme of an insane visionary
but it is not half so wild in theory as once
were many of the inventions which are now
daily in practical operation around us.
The paragraph we refer to reminds us of
project mentioned to us in New York,
some six or seven years ago, when the i'm
mense floating palaces that now traverse the
Hudson were first started, to the admiration
of every body. A gentleman whom we
then met said that the world was still far
behind what it should be in regard to steam
navigation, and that as to ocean steamships,
the cookie shells, as he called the steamers
of one or two thousand tons burthen, were
only worthy of boys. and so the world would
discover in time. He said that the plan
that should be adopted at once was to build
steamers scUe,e hundred feet long, propell-
ed by engines of 5000 horse power and
drawing seventy feet of water But"
said New Yorker, chow are you going to
get vessels into the bay, with such draught
of water ?" To this the reply was that it
was not necessary to bring them into New
York Bay Newport was the place, where
they had plenty of water, and he was then
going thither to satisfy himself on this point
Newport would be the great port of the
country, and was destined to rob New York
Of her commerce, SO soon as the American
public would awake to a true idea of the
mode of carrying ocean steam navigation.
We thought but little of this project, and
had lost sight of it as the wild scheme of
a visionary, when the announcement of its
counterpart in England already seriously
entertained, recalled it to our memory
Skepticism in regard to steam navigation is
rapidly dying out, and the world ceases to
be startled at announcements which a few
years since, would have been ridiculed-
We dare not denounce this gigantic scheme
as impracticable, but on the contrary must
acknowledge that projects that have, at first,
seemed wilder have been successfully car
ried out We refer to it here principally
for the sake of showing that though no such
idea has ever been seriously put in practice
in this country, it has really been seriously
entertained, and that though England may
have the glory of achieving the triumph of
this new era Of ocean navigation, the idea is
originally American, and it's first realization
would have been American also, if there
had been found in this country enough of
men of capital to sustain the enterprise.

"SKY HIGH, SIR-SKY HIGHI'-Wherever the
news of General Pierce's 'honae ue,cs' on the Fu-
gitive Slave law and the institutions of the South
has extended, it has produced prodigious sensa-
ton. In Charlottesville public meeting was
forthwith held and the charges rang upon the
shameful fraud with immense effect. People are
beginning to wonder, in all quarters, that they
could have been imposed upon so long by such
gross impostures.
The revelations from New Boston exhibit the
Locofocos in the very act of playing Yankee
trick upon the South. They have done the thing
before, but they have escaped detection until after
its consummation. Now, like thief caught in
the manor, they have no loophole of escape. They
knew their man, Pierce-they knew that Van
Buren,, and Hallett, and Rantoul, and Bryant, and
Dix and the rest of the Freesoilers were going for
him with "a gush of enthusiasm" He was nomi-
mated because he could obtain that support-and
he was able to obtain it, because he was known
to Van Buren Il Co. to LoATHE the Fugitive Slave
law. and to revolt at the institution of slavery.
How can the people of the South confide in
these men any longer! With Governor Joe john
son of New York in the executive chair of Vr-
ginia-who has shaken our institutions to their
toundations-and New Hampshire Yankee in
the Presdency-whose feelings revolt at the in
stitution of slavery-what is to become of us?
