who Oppose General scottl

The London Times opposes him because "GEN.
PIERCE WILL DE A VALUABLE PRACTICAL ALLY TO
THE COMMERCIAL POLICY OF ENGLAND" BY WHICH
IRELAND HAS BEEN RUINED AND AMERICA sERI-
ousLY INJURED. And the capitalists and land
lords in England follow the lead of the Tendon
Times.
Toombs opposes him because "he gives no
other guaranty for the policy of his administra-
ton than the knotcn incidents Of a long We," and
because he desires to go over to the Locofocos.
The Philadelphia Sun because CHE is DrsPos-
ED TO GRANT TOO MANY PRIVILEGES TO FOREIGN
ERs."
The Mexicans and Canadians oppose him be-
cause they think "he IS too much Of military
man."
The South Carolina and frontier malcontents
oppose him because they think he is too much of
peace man.
The Snags and Sawyers and Shoals and Break
ers in the rivers and harbors oppose him, because
they know that if he is elected they will have TO
move.
Locofoco office-holders, here and there, oppose
him for the same reason.
And the greater part of the Locofoco party
follow their lead, simply because they are Loco
focos, without knowing why or wherefore.

The Hon. DANIEL webster.

"Ion,' the discreet and intelligent correspond
emit Of the Baltimore Sun, who is known to be
partial to this distinguished statesman, says :
" The Webster increment Is not likely to do Mr..
Webster any good personally or politically. <
The fact is, that the detection of few Webster
men here and there is of no serious account what
ever, and will not affect the result Of the cleo
ton, and the Wings well know it. 1t acW not turn
solitary electoral cote against Scott or for Pierce.
If the Wings well know this, so do the Locos,
we presume; but the latter boast amazingly of
how we are to be beaten through such detection.
The only spicy article in the Union of to-day is
the following quasi advertisement:
"MANY MISSING WHIGs.-The Wing cohorts
heretofore led by Messrs. Gentry, Toombs, Ste
phens, Williams, Marshall, Outlaw, and Cling
man.
"7He enthusiastic Wings who stand By Mr.. Web
ster and insist upon Ooting for him.
1t must crafty these gentlemen to see their
names thus blazoned in the Union as "alissing
Wigs" Have they no means of resenting the
foul aspersion? Time was when they would
have been prompt to do it!

Which is the Stronger Party.

We have frequently seen, even in the Wing pa
pers statements to the effect that the Wing party
is q minority party. But these statements are
not true, as an analysis of the popular votes Mt
the different elections will show. An exchange
paper gives us the following, which we believe is
correct:
In 1886, Mr.. Van Buren, had 763, 537 votes
and Harrison and others 1871 votes. Van
Buren's majority %, Sc The election was close,
and a few thousand in North Carolina would have
turned the scale.
In 1910, Harrison had ], 274, 203, and Van Bu-
rem ,l2S, 1903 votes. Majority for Harrison, l45-
800. There were but few hundred scattering
votes in any State, and all but six gave their
electoral vote for the successful candidate.
In 1874, Polk had 1,329,0l3; Clay 1921 ,643;
Birney 63,304. Polk had 1880 plurality over
Clay, but was in the minority by 1924 votes
A change of :, 500 votes in New York would have
elected Mr. Clay.
In 1S48, General Taylor had 1872, 242; Cass
!, 223, 794, and Van Buren, 292,3 votes. Tay.
lor's plurality over Cass was 1873, 447; his minor.
ity in the aggregate vote was 1872, 93l.

A Large Bank Note.
An exchange says

"Rogers, the poet, is in his oath year, and a
hale, hearty man-possessing, moreover, i'm
mense wealth. He owns one Of the two or three
milion-pound notes issued by the Bank of Eng
land, and keeps it framed in his library"
We have heard Of this note before. But bank
notes pay no interest Is the old poet fool enough
to lay out of 100000 pounds, or $780, a
year, for the sake of keeping his treasure in a
frame, for the admiration of his visitors? II
Motif he has arranged with the bank for the
use of that amount of funds, while this note re-
mains where it is-then it does not represent a
million pounds, is not million-pound note, and
has no more value than such combinations Of pic
lures and figures as any engraver may turn out
by the quire. 1t is either no magnificent wonder,
or the old gentleman is a stupid old granny!
