has come on. in letter strongly for Gen.
Scott. In his letter, he says:
III AM Scott man, and have always
heretofore been an uncompromising
Democrat. Such am now, but when
the Democratic party, forgetting the prln-
ciples which should guide it, arrays il.
self against the best interests of our
country,l do not feel myself bound by its
action. fsupport Scott because he is
the representative of three great princi-
Piles which are Democratic, namely, Gov
eminent appropriation for Internal I'm
provements; tariff for revenue, afford
ing protection to American Industry, and
obedience to all the compacts of the
Constitution. Upon all these questions
find General Pierce wrong upon the
record, and by his votes always oppos-
Ing protection to the Mariner. the Me-
chanic and the Farmer. For these rea-
sons support Winfield Scott, and with
a score of neighbors and friends, here
tofore active working Democrats, shall
10 all in my power for the election Of
that well tried patriot to tho Presidency

A Democratic Editor ON Gen.
SRnft.

The following article is from the Ne w
York Du,chman. The editors of the
Dutchman are radical Democrats.
DIsoRAcEFuL.--The attacks made by
the political Press Of the country on Gen.
Scott. Were they foot, pads, they could
not be more shamefully abusive. Some
writers think that the only wav TO be a
politician is to turn BLACKBOARD, and that
he is the most useful editor who is least
fit TO associate with gentlemen. A few
days since, "The Pmnsyluan,an" pub,
lIshed statement showing how General
Scott was court martialed ''for using in.
sulting language 10 his superiors, embez-
zling funds belonging to poor soldiers,
and how he challenged sick men 10 meet
him in mortal combat, and lodged his
adversary's ball after having the FIRST
fire."
Such statements disgrace the Ameri-
can Press, and should enti,le the writer
to the privileges of the horsepond. We
were with Gen. Scott from the lombard
ment of Vera Cruz 10 the conquest of the
city OF Mexico, and we know that a
Drawer or kinder hearted man never drew
asword, or spared an enemy.
As a Democrat, we shall vote for Gen.
Pierce as President. We do this, not
because we consider Gen. Pierce more
patriotic man than Winfield Scott. but
simply because we have greater admi-
ration for his political platform. That
man never lived whose love of country
exceis that of old Cherubusco.
The writer who would charge Win
field Scott with cowardice, and embez,
element, should GO step farther and hold
up Washington as traitor, or Franklin
for an idiot. Such attacks as those made
by the Pennsyivanian will only result
in injury 10 the Democratic Party. If
that paper is really iii favor Of General
Pierce, the fewer filings it contains at
Gen. SCOTS courage and manliness, the
better. In the history which will be
written fifty years hence, the name of
Winfield Scott will occupy position
second to none in our annals.

UPPER MILLS, MENoMrNEE,
August 29th, 1852. n
This country is full of Indians; Chin
pawa's and Sioux abound. A day or two
since party of Sioux surprised some
Chippawas at Gilber,'s mill I.2 mile
from here; they killed and scalped one,
and wounded another. saw the wound.
ed Indian to-day; he was shot in the back
with buck shot; if /, had been bullet. he
would not have lived. Tie Chippawa's
have sen, runners TO the Rice Lake on
Tie "heads of the Menominee' las they
term the Red Cedar here) TO arouse their
warriors and pursue the Sioux. You
will probably hear soon, that more OF the
red skins have been 'nippoed. The peo-
pie seem to care bat little about il here.
indeed they say the more that is killed
'he better. There is no whiskey sold to
the lndians; last winter, am told, the
Chippawas under the influence of spirits
killed white man named Wickam re.
siding on Hay river; upon which the set
tiers rose, and split all the liquor here a.
bouts, since which time more has been
brought in.
This country is not yet politically or.
ganized; but il is attached to La Cross
county. There is no voting, nor do they
perform any of the other functions Of civ
ilized communities.
Sunday has not reached this far into
the Pinery; where l am now writing,
they are playing cards. and trading goods
more busily than probably during the
past six days. Its no. new country
however: numbering has been carried on
here, for over ten years.
