The PeopIe Rising.

The Democracy are everywhere becoming
more and more rabd in their denunciations
of Gen. Scott, and dealing out their Gbelous
vomit with that reckless activity which al
ways characterizes the conduct of despera-
does in desperate cause.
The people, the entire country over are
giving unmistakable evidence that they are
to be no longer led by the ''spoils loving"
gentry who set themselves up as dictators,
for the purpose of practicing their accus-
toned duplicity and betraying the confidence
of the honest mass of their party. The peo-
pie of the West are becoming awakened to
their true interests, and are determined not to
trust them again in hands that haI e hither-
to neglected, ,.opposed, aye, and defeated the ve-
~ measures calculated to promote their pros
perity. VIII the people of the West, who
want and uM haze their now obstructed
channels ef commercial communication inn
proved and rendered accessible and safe,
trust those interests to men who have opposed
and detected them as often as opportunity Of
fered! This question is receiving merited
and emphatic negative at the hands of Wes-
tern Democrats, who are daily seeding in
hundreds from the party, that has trampled
their dearest interests under their feet. The
lives and property of the honest, hard-fisted
navigators of Western waters, will be no
longer jeopardized by their own consent, by
trusting measures for their relief in the hands
of the .'unfaith,ul Stewards" that have so
often betrayed them. Will friends of in
ternal improvements, and especially, those
favorable to the judicious Railroad entel-
prize of the West, t.ust that interest in the
hands of the party whose ''chosen leadcr' re-
received the sanction of Gen. Jackson, and
the encouragement of every liberal member
Of Congress! The great and vital question
is now before the people, to choose, not
whom they will serve, but who shall serve
them. In making this choice, we would d.
rect attention to the records of the past, as
evidence of the future policy to be pursued
by the Locofocos, should they again be e.e-
vated to power. We can assure the people
of the Great West, that they will search in
vain for the vote of Gen. Pierce, that has
offered the smallest tithe of support to any
Western measure, upon which he was call
ed to legislate. On the contrary, the re-
cords of Congress show his every vote, ar
rayed in direct hostility to every measure
that squinted the least favor to Western pros
perity. He even carried his opposition Sc
far as to record his vote against the "Cum-
berland Road" because it tended in Wes-
tern direction. He, no doubt, if he would
express himself as candidly as he did upon
the Slavery question at New Boston, would
say that he LoATHED every measure that
would remove snag, or bar from cur riv'
ers, make u harbor more accessible anC
safe to our commerce, or give US Railroad

ton. The question now presented to the
people of the West is one of incalculablt
importance. 1t involves the selection o.
men who have been, and are identified Will
the great National measures OF public policy
among which, at the present time, more
than ever, the internal improvement system
generally, ranks above ali others in its i'm
portancc to the newly settled States Of tht
West. The Wing party are the only expo
nents, as a party, of this system. Locoloco
