A Message from Massachusetts.

The suboined letter affords our southern
readers a glimpse Of the tactics Of General
PIERCE, and the friends with whom he is most
intimately associated in the campaign. The
statements of our correspondent in reference to
the electioneering efforts of the Democratic
nominee are in accordance with facts that have
been published at different stages Of the can
vass, and form a pungent commentary on the
pretence of magnanimous indifference which is
being constantly set up in his behalf. So again
with General PIERcE's allies. That they are,
as our correspondent says, in league with the
Coaltionists is indisputable, with such proceed
ings as those of the Massachusetts Democrats
fresh in the memory Of the public:

Harm onious Democracy.

The Vicksburg (Miss.) Wing notices the
proceedings of two PIERCE meetings in tina,
city, which afford striking evidence of the har-
mony which is supposed to exist in the Demo-
cratic party, and at the same time illustrate
the principles and temper of PIERcE's leading
southern friends.
Judge G w. L. SMITH, one of the State
Rights speakers, declared that his wing Of
the party do not consider themselves bound by
the Baltimore platform to adhere to or acquiesce
in the Compromise measures as final adjust
ment.
The same Judge SMITH spoke Of General
CAss as one who has been "crushed by the
wheels of The Baltimore Convention, and who
is now fetd mass Of corruption;" and of
Governor FooTE as 1.-THE little bald .pated mon
key, and SO forth. Messrs. CAss and FoorE
are Compromise Democrats, and as such are
hated and abused by the Southern Democratic
leaders in this election.
1t is not surprising that Union Democrats
throughout the South are Withdrawing from an
alliance which would made them vassals of the
Secessionists The only wonder is, that men
chershiug love Of the Union as paramount to
party could for day be tempted to work in
conjunction with such desperate politicians as
those who have taken Mr.. PIERcE's southern
interests under their care.
With such antagonism in principle. and such
hostility between persons, Southern Democracy

MAcKEREL.-The fishing season for mackerel is
fast drawing to a close, and there are but a few
weeks left before the vessels will be hauled up. Tho
returns Of mackerel this year, at this port, fall
short full onehaf Of what the receipts were at this
time last year. This IL owing mainly to the trou.
BILE at the Bay Of st. Lawrence, the vessels being
obliged to keep farther from the shore than they
heretofore have done, for fear the officers Of the
cutters would say they were within the limits and
seize them. Not being allowed TO fish in the Bay
Chaleur is another cause, as our vessels in years
past have sometimes obtained full fares there, and
would have done 30 this year could they have
fished in that bay, as II was full of mackerel Last
year, at this time, many Of the vessels had re-
turned from their second trips, but now there are
many who have not returned from their fret, and
there will be few who will make more than two.
The prospect for the remainder OF the season IL not
very favorable; and If those vessels now at tho Bay
return with more than half fare, they will do
better than 10 now anticipated. The fab at this
season tend mostly in Shore and at the best fishing
ground there two or three cutie 70 who will keep
the Americans of, and they will, therefore, not be
able to do much. The quality of the mackerel this
season has been different than for few years
past. Those brought from the Bay have been very
large and handsome, and command high prices,
while those taken of our coast have been smaller
and not Of 30 good quality. Salcs have been made
this week Of several trips Of Bay mackerel at the

DrMocRATs DIscouRAaED.-A correspondent Of
the Louisville Journal reports that Judge Petit, at
a recent meeting at vincennes, Indiana, looking
at the auditory with mortified expression, said
"Fellow. citizens: My appointment in Vincen.
mes has been proclaimed far and wide, and, in
viewing the audience. do not feel at liberty to
waste time and breath (and by very severe exer.
ton probably cause hemorrhage of the lungs) in
addressing this meagre assembage before me. If
the people do not feel any interest in the
and prosperity of the principles Of the great
Democratic party and the election of Pierce and
King, am not going to trouble myself in exert
ing my powers in promoting the cause in this CON-
munity."

BoLTERs Yesterday, and previously, we pub
lished long lists of "boltcrs" from Pierce and King.
Our exchanges teem with accounts Of disaffection
in the Democratic ranks. A general stampede
seems to be going on among the Pierceites in
many parts OF the country. As it was in the last
campaign, SO it will be in this. The Wings do q
little "bolting' Immediately after the nominations;
but they have time to "blow OFF, their
disappointment, they come back. On the other
hand. the Democrats appear to be almost unani-
nous at first; but in little while the "bolting"
among them begins, and goes on increasing as
the canvass progresses. From now until the day
Of the election we predict that the "boting" from
the Democratic camp, especially in the South, will
be unprecedented in the annals of the country.
The biggest "bolting" will be on the SECOND DAY
OF NOVEMBER, when Winfield Scott will get a
larger majority for President than any candidate
has obtained since Harrison.

PUBLIC SENrIMENT.-The manifestations of re.
gard which accompany General ScoTT in bis pro.
gress in the West are his bly, significant; 80 much
so that Misrepresentation and abuse are attracted
rom the adversary. 1t ia said that General Scott
is an electioneeriug tour--whereas he goes only
in the discharge of public duty. He seeks no
gatherings of the people, who gather together Of
their own accord to greet him on his way. How ia
it possible that such man, in the circumstances
of bis position should travel at all without exciting
public interest?
In the strange variety of topics which it has
pleased political adversares to adopt, for pur
poses of abuse against General Scott, this one Of
travelling for popularity and for clectioneering
objects is of the latest and the strangest. The
manifest indications of the popular regard, which
hail him wherever he goes, are no doubt unwel
come to his foes, and they take this mode Of dis
arrangement for want of better. But as time
goes on, and the election draws near, the proofs
of his SUCCESS become more and more apparent
and conclusive. Hence the increased displeasure
Of his adversaries. baltimore american.
