We place in our columns to-day and commend 10
the careful attention OF readers much of the able
speech Of this distinguished member OF Congress as is
devoted to searching and powerful exposure of ae
and abuses pepeated under the sanction Of the admin
isira,ion by the commissioner charged with The duty Of
running the boundary line between the United States and
Mexico Mr. Howard has treated this whole subject, in
connection with the proposed railroad to the Pacific with
great cearncss force, and cogency
The points which he has made will attract the public
attention. and, in our judgment, viii add another i'm
porant item to the long account OF and mapac

Mr. Howard, condemnatory they OF the action of
the administration and lis agents in this highly important
matter, can be satisfactorily answered.

quotations OF what profess TO quote, viii perceive,
doubtless with regret that in the above extract il has
sbamefully misused and garbled Gen Pierces letter.
Gen. Pierce wrote follows:

the convention, because This expected Of
didate, but because the principles II embraces command
the APPROPRIATION OF my judgment, and with them be-
eve safely say has no word nor act Of my

As Gen Perces friends do moi admit, like Gen Scotrs
tba, there is weakness or even want of grammar in
what their candidate writes about the presidency, we
trust that the Republic will set this matter right without
delay.

The Issue Fairly Made.
From The Indiana Madisoniau.


Gen. Pierce was in the Senate in 1871, during the eel
ebraed extra session. and recurring to the journals we
find the following facts:
On the 25h July, 1871, the bankrupt bill passed the
Senate-ayes 30. nays 49, Gen. Perce's name is in the
negative.
Three days after the United States banr bill was
passed by the came vote. Gen. Pierce voting against it,
Ga the Goth OF August the distribution bill
passedayes 2s nays 49, Gen. Pierce voting in the neg
alive
Thus il will be seen that General Pierce votei against
the bankrupt b-aganst the Incorporation OF United
States BAnk-an1 against the distribution Of the proceeds
OF the public lands.
What is General SCOTS position on these questions
10 his great platform letter he says;
"IsI Led he'd he honor the OCCASION 1T WOULD
OF the land distribution bill, the
bankrupt BILL and the second bill Tor creating iscal
poraton."
There is the record clear and undisputed and there
is the issue fairly made and presented. General Pierce
stands committed and voted against the bankrupt bill
and the bank bill General Scott says he would have
voted for all of them and stands committed in the favor
Again, say to the people, "Choose ye between them
