PIERCE AND KING CLUB.

The Pierce and King Club of this City had
most enthusiastic meeting on Wednesday night
last Gen. Saunders addressed the people present
for some two hours, in his most eloquent and effec
tive manner. He went over the whole ground oc
cupied by the two parties, demonstrating most con-
clusively the soundncss of Gen. Pierce and his
supporters, and the utter unsoundness of General
SCOTS supporters in the free States. The contrast
he drew between Gen. Pierce and Gen. Scott on
the subject of the Constitutional rights Of the
South, was alike true and striking, and it mast
have had its effect on Wings who were present.
Gen. Saunders also took occasion to reply to
some remarks recently made in the Scott Club by
Mr.. Badger; and here, in vindication of the con-
duct and memory of James K. Polk, so unjustly
assailed by Mr.. Badger, he peculiarly impress
i've and eloquent
We regret our lack of space to do justice to this
speech 1t was one of the fullest, strongest and
most effective efforts of the campaign The old
"war-horse of Democracy gets better as he grows
older. He closed his remarks amid tempest Of
applause, with the expression Of the confident be-
lief that Franklin Pierce would be the next Presi-
dent of the United States
The Club will meet again on Saturday night,
the 23d, in the Courthouse, when speech may
be expected from L. OBJ. Branch, Esq. the Demo
cratic Elector for this District. We hope to see a
full attendance on the occasion.

From the Washington Unon.1
TO GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT.


DEAR GENERAL: ! hope you have not yet fixed
upon site for a military hospital. You did well in
taking your western tour in search of suitable spot
There are many pleasant places in Ohio and great
many people, l know, would lend you " material
aid'' in locating the hospital, and, here in North
Carolina, am seriously of the opinion you would
be able to find location much better adapted to the
purpose of military hospital than any to be found
elsewhere. 1t has been suggested TO me by our mu-
tual friend, Edward, that the Pilot mountain, in the
western part of this State, would be the most desira
BILE location-far above any yet thought of; and we
think you had better come immediately-come by
the way of Wilmington-and be sure TO call on the
editor of the Commercial, who will put you in the
right road Raleigh, and from here further directions
may be obtained. At the Pilot mountain, every thing
that can make life pleasant abounds; no Irishnen
live ;here, TO harass your ear with their musical
brogue the Siamese twins live there; Qaakers re-
side there and few miles TO the West, Hon. T.
l.. Clingman has home Now, General it is abso-
lutely necessary that you should forthwith visit
North Carolina she has claims upon the government
as much and more than any of the old mother States
she has always beer true to her country, and will not
be found wanting in the time of need if her rights
are treated with respect. Then, General, delay no
time in coming; you know the election is but about
three weeks off, and much depends upon your course
in the location of the military hospital whether North
Carolina will cast her vote for the hero of Queens
town Heights! Venable is here; he says you will
notice the bid of this State for that hospta and
the people are becoming very bitter the subject.
Now, you see the necessity of your presence to
give the denial 10 this report. Dont write letter,
but come yourself, and 90 yourself and look at the
Pilot mountain, if only 10 crafty them mountain
boys.
Let me hear from you. General, by the meeting of
the next club, as anything from you will dfuse a
genuine enthusiasm among your friends.
Yours, very truly,
RaIr,cH Oct g. 1882

REMARKS OF MR.. BOWER,

- OEs ASHE,
Delivered IN The Sena,e on tie III instant, on he
Currih1ek and Camden case. - 5sss
Mr.. Bower said he had but a few observations to
make IN reference to this matter He regretted the
course which had been pursued. He held that there
was sufficient evidence before the Senate, to snttle
DR.. Shaw to take his seat as Senator from the end
Senatorial District; and if gen,leen ere disposed
to test the legality OF the return they shoud have
taken the proper course--the course prescribed by
law. They had had the opportunity Of coming up and
being heard 1t was no unusual thing in Congress
for individual to take his representing cer-
tain district, where the evidence the same time
conclusive that the opposing candidate had received
a majority Of the votes of, the district Mr. Bower
cited several cases, such he had referred to- hav
ing occurred in Congress, in some Of which cases,
the sheriff had refused 10 make return, and it was
notorious that the opposing candidate had received
majority of the votes but the only way by which
the claim to the seat could be legally determined
by going into contest in the manner prescribed by
law after of the parties had been admitted to the
seat. - s-
Here, continued Mr.. Bower, webave prima facie
case, as appears from the evidence that have be-
fore US, Notwithstanding all the special pleading that
we have heard on the other side of the House. We
have the certificate Of the sheriff of Camden. and we
have certificate of the number of votes cast, from
the returning officer, which gives Dr.. Shaw major
ity. Now, hold that this is as far as this House
has right TO 60. We have no right to 20 into an
inquiry as to the legality Of the votes given a, the
election the duty that have before plain and
simple, and We have no right to 60 beyond it.
But, sir, four days have been consumed already
upon this question and what is it that is contempIat-
ed by the proposition before you? TO refer the case
to committee, and obtain evidsnce as to which of
the contesting candidates has been duly elected In
what way is that evidence to be obtained!
Sir, the committee must send to Camden for per-
sons and papers, they must go there for the pur
pose of prosecuting their investigation. should be
rrt9dt tn hOtU ofho fho avid ic ho
taken. If the parties had up and investigated
the in the ordinary way, this body would have
been enabled to ascertain whether there any fraud
behind the return. -
have said, sir, that do not intend to discuss the
question. am happy to say that gentlemen on this
side cf the house have not consumed any time upon
it, though four days have been consumed by gentle
men on the other side in discussing questions outside
of the return.
l ask, sir, for division of the question.

That Rich IRISH BaoeuE.'' General Scott has
found the philosophers stone-the pearl Of great
price-richer than the Koh-jnoor, ten thousand times
over. It's no, free trade-nor Protection-nor free
farms-nor socialism-nor women's rights-nor tur-
tie soup, anything of that sort s that iligant

Och, the darint bot it is that rich Irish brogue
1t is music to his ears. He caught The infection at

Faion to the Camden and Currituck case, is still

klm the course of his remarks he dealt some hard
aFs on Messrs. T. F. Jones, Bynum and Gilmer.
{ effort has given him reputation at once as a
sly and eloquent debater. His remarks shall
gear in our next.
The Committees on Senatorial Districts, Congress
nal Districts, and apportionment of the Com
aas, are at work but We do not know how soon
+! will report.
This day closes the third week of the session.
E The Register attempted to be witty, not
ag since, over the effect produced on our Pierce
King flag by the late storm. Well, we made
best reply we could, under the circumstances,
our reply had scarcely been seen before the
Eqsters flag floated gracefully down from bro
pole, leaving strip of ten cent cloth marked
d Scott and Graham! The stars and stripes,
sh the Register had been stately hosting as a
pal for party meetings parted company with that
age conjunction of Scott and Graham; and
Pe felt there was something ominous in the fact
We would respectfully suggest to the Register
mn up black flag and inscribe upon it in blue
f1s the following: Auburn, New York: Gen
1.-THE defender and extender Of his country y
MILAN 81. SEWARD. And as the Registers
appears about this time to entertain pecu'
f0ndness for pictures, the flag might also be
tsd with drawings Of Gen. Scott in his carriage
Eag on Seward at Auburn, and of Greely "spit
on the platform.

THE WRONG PASSENGER WAKED UP.
Permit me, Mr.. Editor, to relate an incident that
came under my own observation during recent trip
on the Erie Railroad. In consequence Of an accident,
(the locomotive running off the track) were de-
taned several hours, at place called Norrodsburg
in Sullivan county. During this detention, the SUBJ
ject of the Presidential election up, and the
merits and dement's of the Whgand Democratic can
didates were freely discussed. Democrat present,
as of his arguments in favor of Frank Pierce al
luded TO his indisposon for public honors, and
ferred to his resignation of the much coveled and
honorable post of United States Senator evidence.
He further urged his claims the of his disn
terested and selfsacrcing patriotism, evinced in
his volunteering as private to fight his coun,ry's
battles in Mexico.
In reply TO this Whig present asserted that the
resignation of the Senatorshp caused by the in-
temperance of General Pierce, and that in consequence
his friends prevailed upon him quit the Senate aud
leave Washington. He furthermore asserted that
General Pierce was but in one battle in Mexico, and
at the commencement Of that he tainted from fear,
and fell into ditch out of reach of the enemys guns.
No sooner had these assertions been made than
man stepped up and said, '' Stranger, don't know
who you are, what you are, where you from,
but, Sir. say that any man who asserts that Frank
Pierce is drunkard coward, is liar. Sir, said
he, live in Concord Frank Pierce is my neghbor,
! and know " hat you say be lie; can bring
| hundreds of Wings who know him personally, who
will join me in denouncng your ISLANDERS, and further
more, said he when volunteers, were called for to
60 to Mexico. twenty-eight men volunteered from
Concord. Among those names was that of Frank
| lin Pierce and William Messel-the latter is my
name. / marched with him to the City OF Mexico
and back, and after what have seen and suffered
with him, can't stand patiently by and hear him
called coward; my tongue would cieave to roof of
my mouth were to do and say further, that it
is disgrace any American citizen to be guilty of
the vile SANDER" Said he: go with me to Concord,
and I'll show you the hat worn by Gen. Pierce atihe
National Bridge when we were attacked by the
Guerillas. Through that hat passed TWO balls when
he led his men to the charge, and his escape from
death was Miraculous The effect Of this reioinder
was electric. Three cheers up for the patriotic
and brave Mexican volunteers, Pierce and Messer,
and the Wing defaner shrank oil, abashed and con-
| founded.
1t would have done you good, Mr.. Editor, to have
seen the fiery eye and beaning countenance of This
son Of the Granite Stae.'' with honest indigna-
ton, he defended his and the good name OF his
absent friend, and the friend Of the people-Frank
Pierce. Said he, (" Gentlemen, you must excuse me
for this exhibition Of feeling, bu. can't stand silent
|ly by and hear Gen. Pierce called drunkard and
coward, when know its utter falsty."
