Before this time, If the members Of the different
Wing and Loooioco Organizations have done what
they undertook to DO you, the people, have ut your
fresdes the means of coolly aud calmly comparing
the two Presidential candidates. Lives OF the two
opposing candidates are should be in the hands
of all; and, for the sake Of an impartial compare
son, willing to allow to our opponents the
full benefit of all they do claim in behalf Of
General Pierce. We are willing to admit that he
lie a fair lawyer, good neighbor, and clever fell
low, as The world goes; that he occupied seat
in the United States Senate without dsgracing
himself and that he went to Mexico for the pur-
pose of fighting, from which he was prevented by
series OF untoward accidents and misfortunes.
We ask you, farmers, mechanics, and workiDgmcn
OF Michigan, 70 turn from this spectacle and read
the story of Gen Scotts and public eervices
and compare it in point of brilancy, of world
wide fame. and OF absolute aud practical utility,
with that OF his competitor. Look upon both, not
as partisans, but as patriots; not politicians, but
valuable, exemplary, and useful citizens. In
der to do this, il will not be necessary to ask the
aid of politicians upon either side They have their
private cnds TO gain, their own interests to sub
serve, and three out OF four OF them to whom you
would be likely to apply are candidates or expec-
tants of office, and would be very likely to be
erncd, in what they might say to you, by selfish
and personal considerations. Most Of you, Of all
parties who love their country, and who take
pride in her past glorious history, and her prospec
tive greatness, do not require TO be told who Gou-
erai Scott is; you are familiar with the leading in
cidents Of his eyentiul life, and you have been
familiar with them from childhood. You learned
them when children over the winters fire, in your
histories, over which you have pondered in the
school room, from the lips of your sires grand
parents who fought in youth and manhood by his
slde and helped to carry the flag of their country
in honor to victory over the broken grounds Of
battle fields, in the dark and bloody hours when
true men faint not; call upon you at this time
TO refresh your memories by a renewed perusal of
his history, which has been Tor forty years the his
tory of his country, and when you have done 30, to
ask yourselves what party has ever done for you
that you should desert such man for a mere poll

The AsIATIc CHoLERA.-The London corre-
spondent Of the Philadelphia North american, in
his letter of the 9th ultimo, thus notices the ap-
proach Of this fatal disease:
'That terrible scourge, the Asiatic cholera, ia
steadily moving from east to west, as in 1885 and
lS47 and II ia more fatal to the population than
was in those years. In Central Europe it is sweep
ing away it's thousands. From Persia, the cholera
has spread through Turkey, Poland, and Prussia.
1t has proved very fatal at Warsaw, and also at
Dantzic. Accounts received from Posen state that
the proportion Of deaths 10 the number of persons
attacked continues alarmingly high--out OF sixty
eight new cases, hity-eight were fatal. In most
places there WIS such general panic that the
courts were adjourned 81. ... .. ..... ~
alt ID feared in England that the cholera will go
over the same track this yearthat after reaching
the western ports Of the continent it will first APP
pear on the eastern coast of Eng land, and from this
country it will pursue its course westward to the
United States. II ia WELL therefore, for our coun-
trymen to be warned in time, that their cities and
towns may be thoroughly cleanscd, and the drain
age carefully attended to by competent persons.
Some preliminary action in this respect may be
the means of saving many lives" .. .

From the Baltimore american.


1t ia very we'll known to the country that during
General scoTr's military career of forty years no
question was ever raised concerning the justice
and fairness of hs dealings with the Treasury,
and that if any question is raised nop upon that
point it is simply beca of the fact that General
Scott is at this time candidate for the Presidency,
and tina. some OF his political opponents, in their
desire TO disparage and calumniate him, have re-
sorted to this mode of unmanly depreciation.
The movement is failure at the outset. Mr..
Meriwether may take all the credit Of the step
and find himself none the more respectable ac-
count of it.
Was it supposed by any one possessed Of ordi
nary judgment and patriotism that the account
current Of of the first military of the age,
whose achievements had shed lustre upon the ma
tiOnal fame and prowess, and were go illustrious
as to be beyond the recompcnse of money-was il
supposed by any one that the exhibition of the
items of his pay and allowances for service Of
forty years could be made the means of degrading
his we'll won glory by bringing it into business
schedule of profit and loss? When England re-
cognises such hero in the ranks Of her warriors
she makes a duke OF him, and lavishes immense
sums for the maintenance OF his state, builds pal
aces for him, and raises statues in his honor Wit
ness the magnifcence Of Blenhem Castle and the
sums voted by Parliament to the Duke of Marlbo-
rough; witness the honors and the endowments
conferred upon the Duke of Wellington. Such
Acknowledgements are suited TO the genius and
form OF the British government. We do not de-
sire to see them initiated here; but what shall we
say of that miserable spirit Of detracton which
seeks to squabble about items of pay allowed by
law to commander worthy to rank with Mari
borough and Wellington, and which would delight
in Withdrawing from him the just measure of
honor and admiration which the hearts of his coun-
trymen instinctively prompt to render?
We can discoyer--at least we think so-in the
spirt and style of this sort of warfare the symp-
toms of that species of desperation which marks a
sinking cause. Let the insane crusade go on. For
every calumny uttered against Winfield Scott
there will be retribution forthcoming. The Ame-
rican people judge of the services and charac.
