The " Democracy" of Ohio are having


a sweet time of it. A violent quarrel has
broken out in Cincinnati between DR..

and the editors Of the Enquirer and their
adjuncts. 1t is extending all over the
State and from what we know of the
materiel engaged in leading off, we are
sure it is bound to assume, before the fall
elections, as virulent a type as the war
which RACES in Missouri between Benton
and the Antics. The Ohio Statesman,
" Robs" former file leader, and political
cynosure since he came to Minnesota, has
locked horns " with the Fries men
of Hamilton county, and is decidedly
choice in its epithets when speaking of
Democrats under its ban. A well known
German politician, Mr.. Reemelin, OF
Hamilton county, is one of the ablest men
of the Democratic party, and yet the
Statesman thus introduces him to its COL
umns-" The canting, ranting, white liv-
cred charlatan, REEMELIN, is in hot wat err

Scott is dead letter in this county,
Coshocton {O.) Democrat.
Like other dead letters he will be sent
straight to Washington.-Raleigh Regis
ter.
Scott is famous for dead letters. at
any rate who ever saw one that did not
fall still-born from his pen ?-EIchange.
Yes, like other dead letters,'' he will
be sent straight TO Washington, into the
" Dead Letter Office" and thence, like
all other worthless rubbish, into the '.dirt
cart" -Dubuque Spike.
We would like to see the editor Of the
Spike go into a crowd OF old soldiers, and
tell them that their former gallant COM
mander, who carries more British lead in
his body than any other man living, should
be carried out as vile rubbish. He would
be very apt to get carted out himself.
As part of the passing history of the
campaign, we must chronicle the fact, that
there is, at this time, an awful commo-
ton among the Pierce party at the South.
They at first made the issue there upon
the relative soundness of the two candi-
dates upon the compromise measures, sta
ting that Pierce gave the Fugitive Slave
law "the approval of his judgment"
while Gen. Scott took it merely as an en-
cumbrance attached to the Wing platform.
This has brought to light the fact, that no
longer ago than last January, Gen. Pierce
made speech at New Boston, N. H.,
in which he strongly denounced both the
institution of Slavery and the Fugitive
Slave act, stating that he " utterly loathed
Slavery" SC. The New Hampshire del
egation in Congress have made lame
denial of these facts, but two Democratic
papers in that State, the Independent
Democrat of Concord (Gen. Pierce's res
idence) and The Manchester Democrat,
back them up by incontestibe proof.
Although published at the time it was
made, right under the authors nose, this
speech was never contradicted until after
it appeared in the Washington Republic
few weeks ago, and then in such an i'm
potent manner, as to make the evidence

which every body knows, at this day,

at won't do. They will have TO get
rid of these speeches of Gen. Pierce.
They are telh g like grape shot at the
battle of Buena Vista. They must be
disproved or Gen. Pierce's ranks will
soon be terribly thinned."
We stated last week that Gen. Quit

high eulogy upon Gen. Scott's integrity
and qualifications for the Presidency. In
this it appears we were slightly mistaken
