TO those which, In 1910, 20 palpably foreshadoWed
the terrible overthrow Of Martin Van Buren,. The
tide this time has been running almost equally
strong the other way. That Of 1910 was the ebb'
which ran out so low as to leave vast quantities
Of CLANS and other shell6sh and m arine animals
high and dry. In 1914, it returned, o regular
spring tide, overlooking the docks; in 1913 it
ran out again, leaving the naked sea shores
bleaching and drying in the SUM- SO, now, in 1852,
it coming back with increased volume and mo-
mentum, under stiff south wind, and ere long
whole squadrons Of every sort of craft in the ong,
spreading their sails to the breeze and borne upon
the swelling waves, will ride up into port In a
word if the figures of the late State elections
anything, they signify defeat to General Scott
scarcely less decisive than that of Van Buren, in
ls4O-a real Waterloo defeat horse, foo. Dragons,
sappera and miners, soup kettle and all
That result, If realized, will be due mainly to tho
Seward Fourrerite- abolition wing of the Northern
wing party, and to the fact that General Scott is
their man, their nominee, and likely Gas was the
case with General Taylor to be made their instru
ment in the event of his election. II will be due to
the sacrifice Of Fillmore and Webster, because of
their course on the compromise, and their adhesion
to the rights Of the South, which the South will
doubtless remember on election day. II will be
due, especially to the contemptuous treatment Of Mr.
Webster's claims by the Wing Convention and the
Seward organs. 1t will be to the disregard
of the dying wishes Of Henry Clay, and partly due
to that unfortunate letter which the lamensed
statesman Of Msrshfeld was required to sign up
on his death-bed, but ''never signed" 1t will be
due to General SCOTS native American heresies,
Notwithstanding his late assurances of his repent
ance and the surprising Partially ho has acquired for
the "brogue." 1t will be due to General SCOTS
platform 1t will be due to the timid, shrinking DO
Icy of the wings, and the progressive, expansive,
comprehensive and 60 ahead policy OF the democrats
II will be due to the practical civil qualifications of
General Pierce, and the deficiency of General Scott
in those qualifications 1t will be due, to some ex
tent, to the independent press, as contra.dissi
guished from the mere party press; but, above all,
the defeat of General Scott-as we doubt not he will
be Overwhelmingly defeated--wll be due to the in
stinctive and sound judgment and discrimination of
the American people In any event, we can abide
by the will of the people.

MIR. BELMONT AND THE FoURRIERIrE PHILoso-
PHERs.-The quibbling, equvocating, artful dodg
ers of the Tribune office, have been driven TO the
most pitiful pretext for their refusal to publish
Mr.. Belnonts sensible and Independent letter.
Here is their subterfuge:-
Mr. Belmont published letter in the Satanic Press
yesterday with the statement that had refused to
give place That believe is largely incorrect The
letter We declined to publish was enriched by Bemon-
tefe attack Gen Scott, and therefore refused.
That embellishment does not adorn the the
HERALD, being apparently too strong even for its
stomach.
Now, we have the authority of Mr. Belmont
and of Mr. Isaac Townsend, (who accompanied Mr.
to this Office with his letter. to say that that let
ter, as it appeared in the HERALD, was precisely
the letter which the Tribune editor refused to
publish. Such our Fourrierite philosophers.
And yet he of the Tribune, in his unwashed Glthi-
ness, assumes to be teacher Of decency. Dirt and
brass.

GENERAL PIERcE's LETTERS AND SPEECHES.
Having given to the public, in the lump the speeches
Of General Scott, in his late remarkable historical
expedition to the Blue Iioks in Kentucky, in search
OF site for military hospital we have deemed it
but an act of fairness to give, also, in collected
group, the speeches and letters Of General Pierce
spoken and written during the campaign. He has
had few occasions either for speaking or writing
He has scarcely been outside of the limits of the
baii.ick of his legal practice. He has only written
from the force of necessity, and has only spoken
when it could not well be avoided. But what he has
done has been well done, whether deliberately or
extemporaneously. He never makes q faur pas
and is never caught with his " breaches down." He
never flies into passion about nothing, nor stoops
to handy the lie with the newspapers. If it could
have been arranged so that General Pierce could
have accompanied his late senor officer on the trip to
the Blue Licks, and go that both at every point on
the route could have mounted the stump and held
discussion on the principles of our government, we
very much fear that the democratic majorities in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, in the late cleo
tions, would have been larger than they are. But
things are well enough as they are. Read the
speeches and letters Of General Pierce.

Valuable Election Tables.

For the convenience Of our readers, at the ensuing
election, and in conformity with the plan we pur-
sued in this paper four years ago, viz in 1913,
(when We gave copious tables of the Presidential
election in lsi4,) we publish in this days HERALD
the election returns for President in all the States,
by counties, at the last Presidential election, viz,
November, ls4S. The tables now given have been
prepared with great care for the HERALD; and the
counties being arranged alphabetically, will be
found far more convenient for reference than any
other collection of tables yet published, whether in
almanacs or otherwise We also append table Of
the msjorities pluralites for Taylor and Cas-,
speetiyely, in the different States, and give various
other information which will be much sought after
next week.

shall arise to give the Anishing blow Look at the
extraordinary Irish military organization that has
sprung up in this city within the last two years.
This is an evidence Of the feeling that burns in
their hearts 1t is the democratic party that fos-
tiers this sentiment and gives scope for its opera
ton. The Irish are kindred in spirit, and largely
even in race, with the democratic party, and they
readily and rapidly coalesce with them, because
they have m affinity, while in the wing party exist
elements Of repulsion that no amount of hollow
humbug and hypocritical adulation can overcome.
The ides Of November will tell the whole story Of
the Irish vote.
