Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1852-10-07

now hcaped upon Gen Scott, followed by
the views of distinguished men relative to
his character, expressed previous to his
having become candidate for the Presi-
dency We would ask our opponents
what Cen Scott has done to produce this
change in their views of his character as
4 man, q general, and a patriot? Then,
| language was :oo weak to express their
gratitude and admiration for his fidelity
to our whole country. Now, no vocabu-
larry is sufficiently extensive to contain
words of verulence strong enough to ex-
press their disapprobation of his whole
past history. What has caused this change
which IS daily proclaimed through every
channel of SANDER and defamation thro'
our broad land, from Judge Douglass
down to the lowest political demagogue
of the day. The answer is plain 1t is
the same that brought down such gross
ISLANDERS upon the heads of Gen. Harrison
and Gen. Taylor simply because his po-
litical friends have thought proper to tes-
tify their confidence and gratitude by
placing him in nomination for the Presi-
dency For this one act, his political
adversaries have renowned every favora-
bic opinion of his eharacter-bI otted out
every record of his praise--cancelled eve
ry obligation for his services, and are now
pouring upon his head walls of wrath and
unmitigated persecution Justice truth,
gratitude, honor, are all forgotten and
every means calculated to lower him in
the estimation of his countrymen brought
to bear against him. But we rejoice that
the seven principles of Locofocosm 1.-THE
five loayes and two fishes ar not sufficient
to dethrone justice, or deprive truth of its
empire There is a calm, sober, thinking
mind throughout the land sitting in Judge
ment upon Gen Scott and his slanderers,
and on the second of November next, a
verdict will be rendered, sustaining the
opinions expressed in bygone years and
reversing those Of his present villifers.
CoNsISrtS, Y.-Ihe following is fair
specimen Of free-trade arguments. To say
that Nh Carpenter originated it, would, per-
haPs, be giving hina more credit than even his
political friends about here would allow. He
proved to the satisfaction, however, of his
audience the three following propositions
/. The Wings are in favor of high pro.
tectYe tariff, like that of 1912.
,. The revenue under high tariff is much
less than under low tariff.
3. The reason why the wings favor high
tariff is, that they may have the control of
larger amount Of revenue TO expend in Gal
phin claims, &c.
Now if this is not conclusive, we do not
know what is. Tie Galphins, by the way,
we would inform Dir. c., have deserted their
'go0d friends,' the wings, and are consistent
y supporting Pierce and King.
WISCONSIN DAILY Journal is 4 welcome
visitor to our table. David Atwood,
former editor Of she Wisconsin Express,
and more recently connected with the
Palladium, is the proprietor and editor of
the Journal and We most heartily wish
( him success. That a good wing paper is
needed at Madison, is apparent to all, and
we have no hesitation in saying that the
Journal will be such The Daily is of a
fair size. we'll exeeuted-the materials
being entirely ne0--and enters with spirit
into the cause of the noble Scott for the
Presidency Let the Wings OF the State,
and more especially of Dane County, sus-
tain the Journal, and they need not be a
shsmed of their Organ at the Capital.
- We are glad to notice the return of
our townsman Wa. LAnYoN, who has recent
ly been on a visit 70 England. Mr.. L. cross
ed the Atlantic in a sail vessel, and made the
trip from Liverpool to Mineral Point in %
days, including two days that he remained in
New Y FORK. lie showed us some beautiful
specimens of Australian copper, which al
most gave US the Australian fever.
~ LIEUT.. MAY, who fought under
Scott, and was twice wounded in Mexico,
is doing good service for his old COM
mander in New York, Pennsylvania, and
the New England States The support
of one such man is worth more than that
Of a dozen of Folks pets, who were ap-
pointed to Office for political purposes

men Of this fruit at Mr.. VIM. CoTbet's few
