Cor. MKDILI. This gentleman is one Of
those appointed by tho Locofoco Central
Committee, to stump the State. The Re-
publican, in Kenton, says that, in his speech
at that place, "he took particular pains to
state that Gen Scott was not n statesman
and that his military achievements reflected
neither credit npon the man nor upon the
country.n The Republican is ofthe opinion
that it does not take usry great man to fill
the Office of Lieut.. Governor.
This campaign proves conclusively one
thing. IL takes small minds to criticise
great achievements, or rather they have a
strong desire to pull great men down to their
own level. While Cass, Butler and others
cfthe present day, and Adams, Madison and
others Of another day, could see in General
Scott's career the evidences of greatness
and patriotism, such Demagogues as Hous-
ton, Douglas, 0lds, Medill and Woods ure Of
thN lidl nduloOilg AdSS uuu -OlUtIS
are not calculated to Judge Of mans quail
tiles as Statesman or his abilities as u
General. We only hope that Medl will
make that speech here before the campaign is
over AS our amiabe neighbor of the EagJe
would say, eve have a rod in pickle for
him" IfGen. Pierce rewards such servic-
es as his, he is still less qualified for the post
of President than his Congressional career
shows.
ANOTHER Gun SPIKED. John Cooke,
of Tennessee. has appeared in a card de-
nying that he ever said he would vote for
Pierce. He had some objections to Gen.
Scott on account of the slavery issue, bu,
these have.been removed. He says the let.
ter of Lieut.. Shields, Of that State, which
we published few weeks since, giving hi,
reasons why he, a Democrat, would vote fol
Scott, has gone far towards removing tn,
prejudicef he'enter'ajncj agaiust Gen Scot
personally. He knows Lieut. Shields to bt
man Of truth, aud what he says Of Gen
Scott in Mexico may b. implicitly relied up
on. Honest Democrat, read that letter and
then ask yourself whether you can aid the
men who are slandcring one OF the very best
men and purest patriots of the country.
Another Fizss.-By advertising Mr.. O'NeiI
OF Somerset, the Locorocos Of this city at
tempted to get up another Pierce and King
meeting, on Saturday last, but the people
wouldn't come. They have heard so lnany
blackguards speak of Gen. Scott and so lit.
tie said in praise of Pierce, that they have
got tired of the meetings and refuse to at,
tend. Mr.. O'NeiI did not come. A warm.
hearted lrishman .ked, "why should he!''
"lIow could an Irishman assist In efforts to
elect Pierce and King!'
Newton Schlcich spoke He said he was
not crazy, and for about three minutes and IL
half put his audience in mind of the song OF
the maniac. He tried to tell his audience
that the tunner's sign OF the calls tail was
no evidence of calf on tho othor side ofthe
auger hole, but only succeeded in showing
that urithout the evidence of the ears, there
might be nm ass speaking to them. After
